Chapter 260 - 258: The Secret of the Pyramid
Tassera only hesitated for a moment before quickly reverting to her Dragon Form and joining the group.
After all, she was the second-ranked Blue Dragon among the Colorful Dragons, a title befitting a formidable Evil Dragon.
Tassera flapped her wings and flew to the top of the pyramid. After glancing around, she announced, "Don’t move recklessly! Follow my orders."
"Who are you? Are you the leader?" Cecilia raised an eyebrow at the Blue Dragon. "Why should we listen to you?"
"Because I know more about pyramids than you do," Tassera flicked her tongue, clearly unamused. "If you carelessly destroy a pyramid like some fools, you’ll ruin the treasures inside. Are you even aware of that?"
Cecilia opened her mouth slightly, ready to counter, but even she had to admit that Tassera was far more knowledgeable than herself. Although when it came to wit, human dynamics, and persuasion, Cecilia was sure she held the upper hand. She remarked, "Keep convincing me."
"I don’t need to convince you."
Tassera flicked her broad, flat tail and crawled over to Leon’s side. She explained, "A pyramid is the tomb of a Pharaoh from an Ancient Fallen Empire. These Pharaohs indulged in opulence during their lifetimes and sought to dominate the world even in death, sparing no expense to have pyramids built for themselves."
Clawing away a piece of stone, Tassera continued, "The Ancient Fallen Empire’s devout belief in the gods formed a deeply ingrained afterlife culture at a very early stage. Influenced by this, the people of the empire sincerely and confidently prepared for the afterlife while still alive..."
"Why should you listen to my commands?" Tassera lifted her neck as she spoke. Truth be told, her neck as a Blue Dragon was somewhat short, making it impressive how elegant and long it appeared in her human form.
"Pyramids were primarily constructed with stone. To embellish and decorate these plain stones, the artisans of the Ancient Fallen Empire employed various techniques, such as polishing granite and limestone, decorating with gold and silver, embedding gemstones, using pigments, and creating unparalleled works of art."
