Chapter 305: Chapter 248: I’ll Take Care of Your Matters!

Upon reaching the dark entrance, Ellie sighed and turned to Sean and the others to say:

"This is our ancestors’ sacred place. When you enter, you are only allowed to look, not take photos or talk loudly. After viewing, please come out."

After saying this, he slowly walked inside.

Eckram hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

As they went inside, Sean realized why they needed to assist him— the entrance was originally about ten meters high, but now it was blocked by dust and only five or six meters were exposed.

The interior buildings were still on the original ground level, so when they entered through the doorway, they had to walk up a steep earthen slope.

Old Master Ellie was not young, and it would be easy for him to stumble without support.

Inside, it was pitch black. Except for Sean, it took everyone else a while to adjust and see the whole picture.

The space inside was quite large, but it looked a bit rundown.

Twelve rough-looking stone pillars supported both sides, with a stone platform in the middle.

The stone platform was round and had three layers, each about half a meter high, with the top layer having a diameter of about three meters.

Sean had some guesses about the purpose of this stone platform.

He looked up and saw a wolf relief on the ceiling of the hall, with its head facing down, directly above the round platform.

From the outside, the building looked quite long, but after entering, the area of the main hall was only about 200 square meters – not particularly large.

But it was quite tall.

An expert suddenly asked:

"Is this an altar?"

He naturally addressed the question to Ellie.

Alistair Murray was very professional and immediately translated for Sean in a low voice.

Sean glanced at the expert, somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected the expert to come to the same conclusion as him.

In his opinion, it should indeed be an altar!

As for whether it was used to sacrifice to the Wolf God or to the heavens, that was unclear.

"Yes." Ellie, on the other hand, was not surprised. As an expert, he had extensive knowledge in this area.

However, he also noticed that the expert seemed disappointed after taking a tour inside.

It was understandable. Though they had spoken highly of the place, there was only one main hall, one altar, and twelve pillars, and nothing more.

Despite being regularly cleaned, the walls were covered with moss, water seeped into the corners, and the stone skin had peeled off in places.

Even the stone pillars had traces of being hacked and chiseled.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

So, was this valuable?

It naturally had some value.

But how much? Not much at all!

Otherwise, Isram Innes wouldn’t have been so keen to lure the expert here, give up the place, and exchange it for resources to make life better for the tribal residents!

Seeing the expert’s expression, Ellie felt somewhat disappointed.

He also knew that if they really invited an expert, given what they had here—just one main hall, an altar—it would not be easy to get the conditions to improve life for the tribe.

That was one of the reasons why he had not supported Eckram before.

Actually, in every generation, there were tribe members who had their sights set on the main hall.

In their opinion, the hall had been guarded by their ancestors’ tribe, so it must have some mysterious significance.

A long time ago, the tribal residents would regularly perform sacrifices on the altar, worshiping the Wolf God and hoping for good fortune.

But after so many years of sacrifices, it didn’t seem to have much effect.

Later, when people were poor after the war and chaos, tomb robbers came. They were caught and beaten half to death by the tribal residents. While interrogating them, the residents learned that cultural relics had high value outside.

So, some started getting ideas about the main hall, believing that it must hide treasures beneath it.

However, it was not possible to dig under the main hall, which was guarded every day. Moreover, it was not easy to remove such heavy stones.

So, they tried digging holes around it, but found nothing.

Ellie had heard from the older generations in the tribe that there was once a group who believed they could find hidden treasures in the main hall.

In the end, they found nothing.

It was said that they even angered the Wolf God, bringing disaster to the tribe.

Now, with the expert’s expression, Ellie and Eckram turned their attention to Sean.

Sean walked to the edge of the altar and looked at it.

There was a small pit in the middle of the altar, and he didn’t know what it was for.

He didn’t go up on the altar, as he thought even if he wanted to, Ellie and the others probably wouldn’t let him.

He cast his gaze around the main hall.

Originally, from the outside using the Sky Eye, the wolf-shaped structure was more than 100 meters long, while inside the main hall, it was at most 50 meters long.

So what was the remaining space for?

The Sky Eye scanned it, and beneath the stone skin of the walls, there appeared twelve simple, wolf-centered reliefs.

These reliefs were hidden beneath the stone skin, so they were not visible in the main hall.

On the wall opposite the entrance, there was a doorway, also concealed by stone skin.

Behind this door were layers of stone doors, a total of six layers!

Behind the six half-meter thick stone doors lay a huge space!

Indeed, there was something fishy going on!

The Sky Eye could penetrate through the stone layers, but it struggled when it was too deep.

Just as he planned to keep looking, Eckram had already walked over to Sean and asked:

"Mr. Sean Knight, after seeing this, do you have anything to say?"

Sean didn’t speak immediately, but instead used the Sky Eye to examine the hidden space behind the doors once more. Then, with a smile, he said:

"I can provide funds for your tribe to leave this place and live in the city or gathering areas. However, there is a condition..."
