Marina said they had gone down to the tomb once but found nothing.
Then, she handed the handkerchief to Mary.
Mary looked carefully at the handkerchief before her.
Her eyes were slightly red.
“That’s right. It was her…”
“Everything she embroiders was vivid. She even embroidered a rose handkerchief for me before.
The technique is exactly the same… Mary’s voice was a little choked.
Marina rarely saw Mary, her mother, like this.
She only went forward and sat beside Mary.
Mary immediately restrained the emotions in her eyes.
Then she looked up.
“Is there only a thirty–something empty pit in the tomb?” Mary asked.
“Yes.” Marina nodded.
“Actually, that’s not the complete South Mountain Tomb at all,” said Mary after taking a deep breath.
“What do you mean?” asked Marina. She could not help but look up at Simon.
Their eyes were filled with anticipation.
Mary said, “I rushed over immediately after this tomb was excavated.
“We dug a tomb hole and found the graves you’re looking at now after entering.
“Everyone thought that it was just an ancient cemetery back then.
“The people buried inside were all pitiful people with no children. There were no burial items among them.
“There was little information that could be used for research. Therefore, the researchers who rushed over from all over the world quickly left one after another.
“I originally planned to leave with your father after sorting out all the graves inside.
“But I discovered that there seemed to be another tomb under the graves on the last day,” said Mary, enunciating each word.
“What? There’s another tomb?” Marina was surprised.
“In ancient times, people were so afraid their tombs would be dug up by tomb robbers that they tried to hide their true
ones.
“One of the ways is to confuse people with more than one cluster of cemeteries on top of one’s own mausoleum.
“Even if someone finds the tomb this way, they will think it’s just a place similar to a mass grave and won’t dig deeper.”
Marina and Simon nodded in understanding after Mary said her words.
“But why didn’t you report it when you discovered another tomb was down there?” Marina asked curiously.
Mary said, “Actually, I’ve never advocated excavating these tombs.
“Some tombs were unintentionally excavated, so in order to better preserve them, I had to go to excavate them.
“But I don’t think there’s a need to dig out some tombs that haven’t been exposed.
“Let them remain permanently hidden underground. That would be the best choice for the tomb’s owners and their protection”
Although Mary was an archaeological researcher, she maintained a respectful heart toward these things.
“I see Marina said in a low voice.
She knew that Mary loved her job and also had her own beliefs.
But they…
Marina looked at Mary tentatively.
She didn’t know what to say next.
“I know what you want to say. I just felt that there was no need for this tomb to be excavated.

“But the situation now is different from before. I also want to know why we can’t leave any clues about this tomb.
“So, let me bring you in!” said Mary, enunciating each word.
Thank you, Mom,” said Marina. She was instantly relieved to hear Mary’s words.
“Are you starting to be distant from your parents now that you have a boyfriend?” Mary snorted.
“Of course not. I’m just really grateful to you.” Marina immediately said.
“What do you have to thank me for? I’m sitting here fine. The things you want to investigate have nothing to do with you.” Mary snorted.
Simon immediately went forward when Simon heard Mary’s words.
“Thank you, Mary, Simon spoke with the utmost sincerity.
“What are you calling me? You’re not married to my daughter yet. It’s too early to call me Mary.” Mary glanced at Simon.
Marin could not help but feel guilty when she heard Mary.
Well…
Actually, Simon could have called her Mary a long time ago.
And it was reasonable and legal.
However, Marina did not dare to be honest with Mary right now.
Sitting at the side, Sam looked at Mary and carefully tugged at her sleeve.
He gestured for Mary not to be too strict.
Mary glanced at Sam and did not say anything else.
“Okay, all of you can leave now. I’m going to rest.”
“Alright. Mom, Dad, you get some rest.” Marina immediately pulled Simon out as soon as she heard Mary’s words.
Marina looked at Simon apologetically after returning to their room.
Marina said. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to deny you your identity just now. It’s just that the most important thing for us now is to find the whereabouts of the fifth key.
Marina sounded apologetic.
“It’s fine. I’ve cleared my identity with you,” said Simon, leaning over and kissed Marina’s red lips.
Marina smiled and hugged his waist.
“You’ve cleared your identity with me,” said Marina.
Simon reached out and pulled Marina into his arms.
His eyes were filled with gratitude.
Simon felt that everything had become smoother ever since he had Marina.
Mary and Sam rested for the night at the cozy inn.
The next morning.
The group then went to the South Mountain Tomb.
It was still Gavin who stayed outside the tomb this time.
Marina, Simon, Mary, and Sam went down to the tomb together.
Mary was the professional among them.
After entering the tomb, Marina and the others basically were silent.
They would stand silently at the side the rest of the time unless Mary asked them for their help.
Mary relied on her memories and walked to a corner of the tomb.
She checked carefully before speaking
“There are no signs of anyone opening this tomb to this day.”
“How do we get in now? Should we blow it up?” Marina asked.
“Do you think I did all these years for nothing?” Mary rolled her eyes at Marina.
Then she began to search for the entrance to the tomb.

“Your mother’s ability to explore tombs in their field is top–notch. There’s no entrance in this world that she can’t find,” Sam whispered to Marina.
“I just want to lighten Mom’s burden, Marina mumbled.
“What do you mean by lightening your mother’s burden? Your mother always prided herself on being a decent person. She only entered the tomb to study history.
“The kind of explosion you’re talking about is only used by tomb robbers.
“Your mother hates the kind of people the most. She only rolled her eyes at you because you’re her daughter.
“If it were anyone else, tsk, tsk…” Sam said as he shook his head.
