Chapter 304: Chapter 247: Want to be a Fisherman? No Way!_2

Then Eckram said to Sean Knight:

"Please come to our tribe and let’s discuss this matter."

Then he added to the expert, "This matter is rather complicated, so if you don’t mind, let’s talk about it in our tribe."

The expert was a bit frustrated, but after all, it was the other party’s home court, and even the land here belonged to the tribe.

So, even if he had righteous talks, if Old Master Ellie ignored him, his words would be futile.

Elijah Hastings and a few others turned to look at Sean Knight.

After Alistair Murray finished translating, he also looked at Sean Knight, waiting for his reply.

"All right." Sean thought it over and agreed to this request.

Anyway, there would be no danger, and looking at Old Master Ellie’s actions just now, maybe there would be some unexpected gains.

The group, some in cars and some on horseback, quickly arrived at the felt tents.

At first glance from a distance, they looked unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, the felt tents in the tribe were not small, and in the middle of it all, Old Master Ellie’s tent was four or five times bigger than the regular ones!

After entering, they found wooden beds with thick blankets strewn on them, a long table on the beds filled with beautiful copper plates overflowing with various dried fruits and snacks.

The wooden bed occupied two-thirds of the space in the tent, and the remaining third also had pine strips laid out on the floor. On one side, a small stove was burning with a teapot on top, emitting the fragrance of milk tea.

"Please sit." Upon entering, Saat invited Sean and his team. The Old Master Ellie and the expert had already occupied spots on the wooden bed.

From what it seemed, they intended to talk over the tea.

The few members of Sean’s group showed no fear, removed their shoes and took their places on the wooden bed.

Douglas Cooper whispered into Lincoln Harrington’s ear:

"Luckily we took a good wash yesterday at Alistair Murray’s relative’s place, otherwise, it would be embarrassing with our smelly feet today."

After everyone settled in differentiating host from guest, and had their milk tea, Eckram started,

"Now that everyone’s here, let’s be honest. Our tribe indeed guards a relic left to us by our ancestors.

According to our benefaction instructions, we must always wait for someone to come and unlock the secrets of this relic site and lead our tribe to prosperity."

Having said this, Eckram paused, glanced at Sean, then at the expert, and continued:

"Of course, we are now citizens of Kazakhstan, we won’t betray our motherland, but we also don’t want to go against the will of our ancestors. So..."

He looked at Sean:

"If you have any tokens, it’s best to present them now. Of course, if you received any instructions, you should also tell us, so we can corroborate. Honestly, our tribe doesn’t wish to be mighty anymore, the time of our ancestors has passed, we now only hope to live better lives, at least better than before..."

When the conversation reached this point, the meaning was pretty obvious.

We’re citizens of Kazakhstan; we know our identity.

But we also want to live good lives.

As for you outsiders, if you have anything of significance, we’ll acknowledge you. If not, you can devise some topics of discussion; we’ll believe you. Of course, the premise is that you can help the members of our tribe live better lives.

Plainly put, it depends on how much money you are willing to provide!

Listerning to this, Ellie seemed to depart a bit from what his son had previously told him. He tried to explain, but Eckram shot him a look, signaling him to keep quiet.

Ellie sighed and said no more.

The expert also surprisingly kept his silence.

No one else said anything either from Ellie’s side. They just quietly waited for their reaction.

Since they had come this far, let it be so.

Ellie wasn’t a fool. He knew if they kept guarding like this, then it was indeed the end of the tribe, either they’d disperse, or all the members would gradually die out.

Rather than letting it come to this, why not take a gamble? If you really need to trade the useless relic for a future life for the tribesmen, then so be it!

Although he had strongly opposed Eckram’s actions earlier, but at this point, years of experience made Ellie very resolute. He knew this was indeed a good opportunity.

After waiting for a while, Eckram became somewhat impatient as neither Sean nor the expert spoke.

But Ellie held him back, signaling him not to be in a rush. Once the intention is out there, if the other party doesn’t respond, they wouldn’t lose anything anyway.

In the end, the expert could not stand the silence and broken it by saying:

"We need to seek advice from our superiors on this matter, we can’t make the decision ourselves..."

As these words were spoken, the momentum instantly decreased by one third.

He understood that while he had spoken so strongly before, now that someone else was setting conditions, he found himself unable to make decisions. This wasn’t a game!

Then Ellie and Eckram’s gaze fell upon Sean Knight.

After drinking a bowl of milk tea, Sean said, slowly:

"I did bring something, perhaps the token you’re referring to, but I’m not sure if I should be dealing with you guys. Can I see the ruin site first?"

Alistair Murray immediately translated his words.

Upon hearing this, the experts’ eyes lightened up and they immediately responded,

"We also want to see the ruin site. If it’s important enough, we should be able to fulfill your conditions!"

They didn’t want to let the hawk fly without seeing the rabbit!

However Ellie and Eckram were not surprised. They exchanged a glance and then nodded in agreement!

With no time to eat anything more, Ellie and Eckram led Sean and Alistair, Elijah Hastings, and the two experts towards the back of the felt tent.

Behind it were the undulating ranges of a mountain, each layer higher than the last, with an infrequently traveled path leading into the mountain.

Ellie emphasized that not many people could go, so Sean only brought Alistair and Elijah along.

Seeing these series of mountains, Sean’s expression became serious.

The map in his mind did not mark these mountains, or more accurately, these mountains were unmarked.

It wasn’t due to geological changes over time. Sean guessed that these mountains were not high, hence the lack of marking.

Of course, there could be other possibilities, like the place he was searching for not being here.

But according to the distance shown on the map, it should be here.

Could it be that the map was so old that there was no concept of scale in marking distances?

While Sean was contemplating all these possibilities, they crossed mountain after mountain. After nearly an hour and a half, they finally stopped at a plateau between two ranges.

At this moment, Ellie and Eckram’s expressions were extremely serious.

"We are about to reach the target location. No matter what the result is, you mustn’t divulge any information about this place!"

These words were directed at Sean, Alistair, Elijah, and the two experts.

But Sean thought that they were overcautious.

On the way here, they made so many twists and turns that anyone other than them would have lost their way a long time ago!

After Ellie finished speaking, they moved forward. After not more than a hundred meters, a green building appeared before them.

Seeing this building, Sean was surprised!

It was described as a green building because over time, the accumulated dust on it had turned into grass, making it appear green from a distance. Or rather, it was a mound that was higher than the surrounding area. If you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t realize it was a man-made structure.

If you looked down from the sky, there was no difference between this location and anywhere else.

it was completely covered by grass!

But with just one glance, Sean could tell that it was originally a stone building.

The Sky Eye immediately activated, and what appeared before Sean’s eyes was a massive stone wolf head!

Or rather, a giant stone wolf that was nearly thirty meters wide and a hundred meters long. Its open mouth served as the entrance to the building!

Although the representation of this stone wolf was a bit rugged, it was very realistic.

But now that it was covered with grass, only a rough outline remained along with a black hole that served as the door.

If you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t connect the dots!

The passage of time was indeed powerful. Sean could imagine how much manpower and resources would be needed to create such a thing thousands of years ago!

But the original building, which was supposed to be forty to fifty meters high, now only stood ten to twenty meters. Its sloping sides have completely erased the original majestic appearance.

But this made Sean even more curious.

What would it look like inside?
