NovelUSAThe next day, Lara and Frank met the leader of the expedition: a young woman named Sylvie Wal.
She was in her twenties and wore a windbreaker matched with jeans and stilettos. Her figure was hidden behind her baggy clothes, though it made her look sharp.

"Don't underestimatenow! I may be young, but I'm experienced in archaeology and have led multiple expeditions into various tombs." "I'm impressed. You're accomplished despite your youth," Frank said in agreement.
Sylvie laughed heartily. "It's an honor to receive praise from a handsman like you! I heard that you're a student from Shagan Agricultural University-shouldn't you be on a farm?" Seeing that she was quick to be friendly, Frank chuckled. "No money in it." "True." Sylvie nodded. "A man like you should be out in the big world. Want to exchange numbers? You can clook forwhen you're going to the city!" Since Sylvie was generously offering it, Frank had no reason to say no and gave her his number.
The expedition team members saw it and started teasing Sylvie.
"That's not like you, chief. When did you start giving men your number?" "Exactly. There's so many hotties whom you weren't interested in, but you're so invested in this one!" "Oh, con. It's not her fault-the man's just that handsome!" Sylvie did not seem to mind and even laughed with them while eyeing Frank. "None of you get it. Romance happens naturally when you go deep!" Seeing that she was just joking around, Frank did not keep up the banter and turned to Lara. "Be careful when you're inside. Stick behind me-never go anywhere on your own." He had watched enough TV to understand that the worst thing that could happen in a tomb was for a pigheaded teammate to touch everything, killing everyone before they knew it.
As Lara nodded, they made further preparations before heading to a place called Lane Basin, which had a rare spread of flatlands and no hills in sight.

She nodded, smiling as she asked in return, "You think that this place is too plain to be a tomb, don't you? "Well, it just happens to be the opposite! You see, according to my archaeological research, the trend of building tombs in scenic spots is a general misconception. In reality, those geezers prefer places like these.

The old kings even believe that their tombs are protected from raids with the Warrior Emperor's protection.

In layman terms, one could call this spot a spiritron vein!" "A spiritron vein?" Frank tended to get jittery with that term.
The Lionhearts and Stanley Durban were looking for it, were they not? Though Frank knew enough to see that it was not the spiritron vein they were looking for-if someone like Sylvie could, why could they not? "How did Verde Limited find this place?" he asked.
าวน "It's a real coincidence, now that you mentioned it Sylvie shrugged. "There was a tremor when one of their survey teams cby, and they stumbled on santiques which were launched out of a subterranean geyser. That's how they deduced that there's a tomb around here."
