Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSylvie then took out a stud finder from her backpack and checked the surrounding area before stamping her feet on a patch of ground. "This is it. Start digging!" "What?!" Lara was unsure how she should react. "If it's a tomb, shouldn't it have an entrance? Why do we have to dig?" "Entrance? What, did you think that this is a TV show?" Sylvie laughed. "Most tombs don't even have pillars, and even the pillars of the rare few tombs of kings would erode and crumble from the shifting of the tectonic plates. That's why your so-called entrances would have long since been buried, so don't expect to find slost world in there. Archaeology is really mostly digging and far different from the adventures you have in mind." Lara flashed a pained smile. "Then why do you need a security escort?" "You'll find out soon enough." Sylvie flashed a mysterious smile.
Lara did not like guessing games, however, and turned toward Tigris, who smiled. "We're not worried about traps-it's people. When word spreads that there's a tomb here, don't you think there'd be others eager to make a quick buck?" Lara frowned. "No way. Life's better these days-those villages have no reason to pillage." Tigris was not sure how he should react to that. "The villagers certainly don't, but it wouldn't stop local gangs from trying! They can get really cutthroat when pushed too far, and swould bring metal bats, ready for a fight from the start!" Lara then realized that archaeology was really just digging into old tombs, without any escapades like the movies liked to depict. "Argh!!!" Still, just as Lara was feeling disappointed, a scream resounded.
Everyone turned to find that one of the expedition members who was digging hard into the earth missed his step and fell into a gaping hole that was six feet wide! Sylvie frowned and walked up to yell down the hole, "Jimmy! Are you alright in there?!" Even as her voice echoed, Jimmy yelled back, "I'm fine, chief! But my foot is hurt, so I can't move!" "Quick! Get a rope!" Sylvie shouted.
Frank quickly stopped her. "His foot is hurt. He'd be crippled if you pulled him up with a rope. I'll go down instead!" "That's against safety procedures!" Sylvie protested. "That's two dead if the floor collapses!" "Exactly," Tigris reasoned. "Let's stick with procedures.

That was when his ring started to glow vibrantly, and only on the right side instead of the entire gem. The glow stayed in the sdirection despite Frank moving his hand too, as if guiding Frank.

"Nice moves!" Sylvie gave him a thumbs-up.
Jimmy laughed on Frank's back too. "She never praises anyone, kid. I think she's really in love!" Frank ignored him and told Sylvie, "I'm going back down now!" "You're going back?!" she exclaimed. "Quit it! Even if the structural support is intact, it would definitely have worn down with age! It could still collapse at any moment!" Content belongs to en.kikistories"Exactly." Tigris nodded. "Just leave it to the professionals-we just have to stick to our jobs."
