Chapter 1225: Chapter 621: A New Discovery That Influences the History of World Archaeology?_3

"It’s like this. A batch of cultural relics went missing in Kandahar, and according to a later investigation, the people who stole the relics all died in a Nearby Town."

"Witnesses say that at the time of the incident, there was a convoy of Chinese People nearby... I guess it must be related to you guys, right?"

"No relation, don’t talk nonsense," Sean Knight firmly denied, "I’m not aware of what you’re talking about."

Elijah Hastings knew it was no use trying to get anything out of Sean Knight; after all, their country didn’t have Sky Eye, nor did they have so many monitoring equipment. Even if they could place Sean Knight and his team in the vicinity, how could they prove that it was they who took the items?

So Elijah Hastings also said very politely:

"The other cultural relics are not very precious. The only important item is a Religious Sect’s Holy Relic. If you can retrieve that relic, the elders and their Tribe would be very grateful..."

Sean Knight thought to himself, such gratitude sounds too abstract; something more tangible would be better!

Elijah Hastings probably understood Sean Knight’s thoughts and continued:

"Kandahar is rich in cattle, sheep, Fruit..." Elijah Hastings thought for a moment and said, "If you can find that Holy Relic, I believe the Religious Sect’s elders would be willing to pay a certain price."

Sean Knight curled his lips. At that moment, he and Elijah Hastings were discussing their trip to Egypt Aswan, and he did not avoid them when he took the phone call.

"...If you let me open one more mine near my Base, I will mobilize my resources to help find that Holy Relic."

Seeing that Elijah Hastings did not specify any concrete price, Sean Knight made his request.

"Can you tell me what kind of mine it is?" Elijah Hastings was also hard-pressed to reply, as Kandahar and the location of Sean Knight’s Base were not in the same province. To make this happen, communication between Tribes was necessary.

"I don’t know. I just want to look around nearby and see if there is any mine I can open."

In fact, in his Mind, Sean Knight already had a Specific mine in mind—more precisely, oil and natural gas.

After his Base had taken shape and the coal mine began its mining operations, Experts from Xinjiang came to survey the area for a long time and then discovered a Large quantity oil and gas field less than two hundred kilometers from the China boundary Underground.

The fact is that Afghanistan has rich mineral resources, but due to the Imperial Cemetery and ongoing War, these resources have barely been tapped.

The currently developed minerals are also not produced in large amounts.

Within Sean Knight’s current "sphere of power," apart from the coal mine he had already mined, the copper mine promised by Hassan Bager, and the Lapis Lazuli Mine controlled by the Tribe, there were also iron, lead-zinc, lithium, and golden mines.

However, mass development still required a process because, after all, Sean Knight was a foreigner and a non-believer, so everything needed to be done step by step.

Elijah Hastings was somewhat in a difficult position.

Sean Knight wasn’t in a hurry; he asked another question:

"What is that Holy Relic?"

"A staff once used by a disciple of the Sage."

Sure enough, just as he had expected.

Sean Knight hung up the phone.

"That’s the plan. After we arrive in Egypt by airplane, we’ll buy a car locally and then drive to Aswan. Next would be to locate the Specific place," Sean Knight summarized, "This time we won’t need so many people, you can pick some, let the team, including yourselves, be no more than ten people. Same rules as always, I’ll provide the Weapons, you just need to bring the necessary supplies."

Oh, and before you leave Tomorrow, distribute the Money to everyone."

Sean Knight produced a package and handed it to Elijah Hastings:

"There’s one million dollars in here, divide it among everyone."

Sean Knight hadn’t inventoried the cultural relics they had acquired this time, but just from this staff alone, he estimated the value of the mine he would get was at least Ten million or more.

After Elijah Hastings and his team had left, Sean Knight took out the Wooden box that held the staff.

The box was newly made, Pine Wood, and one could still see the Wood splinters.

Using tools to Open the box, Sean Knight saw the staff secured on a Soft Cloth Pad.

The staff wasn’t long, less than half a meter, more symbolic than practical.

The Wood was actually ordinary boxwood, but because it had been used frequently, it already had what collectors call a patina.

The entire staff was Y-shaped, but the arm on the right side of the Y was a bit flat and short.

Sean Knight sat on the bed, summoning the Energy inside of him to communicate with the Energy of the staff.

The Energy inside him worked like a universal Key, and after communicating with these Energies, he could basically absorb them—if he wanted others to absorb the Energy, he would also have to act as a medium or primer.

Soon the staff’s Energy responded and began to surge into Sean Knight’s body.

If an Ordinary person were to see this, they would think Sean Knight was meditating with his eyes closed.

But those like Elijah Hastings who had absorbed Energy could see that Sean Knight was emitting a faint white light.

The Energy within the staff was immense for them, and even for Sean Knight, it was a very significant amount.

His own existing Energy had already nearly reached its peak, and although he had used some of it in recent times, it was only a minuscule part of his massive internal reserve.

So, after absorbing only a very small portion, Sean Knight felt he was on the verge of upgrading.

Having not upgraded in a long while, he was pretty excited about what changes his "Extraordinary Ability" would undergo after the upgrade.

The Energy continued to pour in, and Sean Knight could still be distracted enough to feel that this Energy’s fluctuation was very peaceful, unlike some Faith Energies that are fanatic.

Nice.

Finally, the influx of Energy reached a peak, and then he felt a boundary being broken. Sean Knight even simulated the sound "pop" in his Mind, like a bubble bursting.

His Mind emptied once more, then his thoughts seemed to stretch out suddenly, and he felt as if he had jumped into the air, able to see the entirety of Kandahar, and even higher up, the whole of Afghanistan, Asia, the entire Earth...

Sean Knight was startled. Had his soul just left his body?

As soon as this thought appeared, his thoughts snapped back into his body.

And the Energy from the staff was still pouring in, Sean Knight once again felt that the capacity for storing Energy inside his body had increased many times over!

And there was only a tiny bit of Energy left in the staff!

Where did the Energy go?

He suddenly realized that his mind’s ascent into the upper atmosphere had consumed a lot of Energy!

Damn it, the Energy of one Holy Relic was only good for a single trip to the heavens, and it was hardly of any use!

He certainly couldn’t afford to waste like this again in the future; it was too costly!

It would be better just to earn money honestly!

The second day, as Sean Knight and his team were about to leave, Elijah Hastings called again.
