Hobart froze for a moment, then immediately asked, "How high a level?"
Doffis replied blandly, "At least a Level 1 Sealed Artifact!"

These antiques might have been very ordinary items over a thousand years ago, but because they had been so well preserved, they had become fairly fine antiques today.
Though they were not particularly valuable, there were a great many of them.
Doffis had ordered Jacob to replace the antiques they removed with modern artifacts.
When Hobart heard this, he understood that the entire underground structure might have been designed to seal a certain Sealed Artifact.
Moreover, Doffis had likely been gradually squeezing the Sealed Artifact's range of movement by replacing the artifacts in the rooms, until now, when only two rooms remained unopened.
Theoretically, the Sealed Artifact had to be in one of those two rooms.
It was precisely because there were so many rooms that the excavation had taken more than a month.
The antiques that had been moved out were all stored in the camp, and it was said they had already filled several tents.
They would be sold off together after the excavation was completely finished, lest anyone realize that fewer items had been dug up here. The laborers working here had not gone home for over a month, and they were not allowed to leave even if they fell ill.
Once these items were sold, at least seven or eight members of Jacob's Team would be able to become genuine tycoons in Backlund.
Christine, who had provided protection, would also receive a considerable
