"But the others were amateurs. Some of them would just toss a valuable piece into any old box and bury it in the ground. A lot of artifacts were ruined" Spencer, standing nearby, chimed in, "Carlos himself raided a new major tombs in his youth but retired later on. It's the gangs he trained that went wild, looting dozens of tombs over the years."

His face grew somber. "According to their confessions, some of these were significant tombs."

John nodded. "We've already contacted an archaeological team to begin rescue excavations on these major combs, hoping they aren't too badly damaged."

Spencer continued, "But judging by the way they treated the artifacts, it's clear they didn't care about preserving the tombs themselves."

Madison glanced at John, then at Spencer, blinking thoughtfully.

Finally, it was Tanya who spoke up. "Mr. Zuros, if there's something you need eel free to tell Maddie she can help, she will"

John didn't respond immediately. Instead, he looked at Madon

Madison nodded in response

"It's like this. "We learned the locations of the tombs from Carlost accomplices, and most of them are now being excavated. But there's one tomb that we can't seem to enter "Can't enter?" Madison asked, puzdat

Spencer nodded. "That's right. Bet oddly enough, Carlos and his gang had no trouble entering it. It's just our archaeological team that has this issue."

They had encountered many strange things in their line of work, but this was the first time they'd come across a tomb they couldn't physically enter.

"Green Auroca had to rehim to his monastery, so he sent me to find you," John said, somewhat embarrassed "Madison, we hate to keep bothering you, but... this in really important" Madison passed her lips slightly as she pondered

Spencer didn't push her. Instead, he said, "If it's too much trouble, don't worry about it. We don't want to violate any rules of your world of mystic arts. It's taboo, we wouldn't want to impose."

After all, each field had its own nudes.
