THE ETERNAL DRAGON
CHAPTER 57 | Cemetery Guards

In the afternoon, John gets a call from Amelia who will pick him up at John's hotel to take him to the city of Lima to meet a collector of their friends. They immediately headed for a very large house on the outskirts of Lima.

Arriving at the house, a servant leads the three of them to meet Mr. Akins, a collector of descendants from the middle eastern region but has long settled in Peru.

They were also invited to look at the collections of Mr. Akins, especially his jewels. John narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw a crystal that was a deep reddish-black color with a familiar aura he felt.

“Mr Akins, if you may know, what crystal is this name?” ask John.

“Oh, this is his name Black Blood Crystal, this is the heritage stone of our ancestors brought by them from Egypt area.” said Mr. Akins with a smile.

“Our family believes that this crystal gave good luck and longevity to the family back then. Mr. Araga certainly does not believe in longevity right?” continued.

Hearing Akins's incarnation, John was slightly surprised but smiled. Luciana glanced at John with a strange impression, but hid it.

“True, our family of old may sound superstitious believing in the myth of longevity. According to their story, at that time had heard the news that there were long-lived creatures living among them. And it is believed that this blood crystal is the cause”

“But, after several times doing research on this crystal, I myself did not find any efficacy except to produce the effect of restoring the condition of the body when sick” he said with a smile.

“Conon, this crystal can be made for preservation material of corpses by the people in Egypt. There is a group called the Custodian of the Tomb, which uses the properties of this crystal to preserve mummies in Egypt.”

“Tomb Guard?” asked John curiously.

“Let's talk in the living room” continued while allowing John, Amelia and Luciana to sit in his living room.

A waiter poured them tea accompanied by a snack. Mr. Akins then continued his story.

“Guard of the Tomb is a mysterious organization in Egypt that has existed since the era before AD which is said to be formed by one of the descendants of Gods in Egypt.”

“In Egypt, it is said that the gods lived with humans long ago and became kings there. There is often a gap between gods and humans there, clashes often occur between them, of course the gods always win in every battle.” he continued.

“To defeat the gods, humans create a special weapon by using these blood crystals to kill them. So that the gods begin to be defeated by man and go from Egypt.”

“This blood crystal is said to have come from the blood of the god who was first wounded by the battle so that his spilled blood formed black blood crystals. Which was later discovered by the weapon maker and made it a weapon to fight the god himself”

“The Guardians of the Tomb were formed by the descendants of the gods with humans originally to care for the bodies of the gods who had died, but an oddity appeared on the body which was then overgrown by these black blood crystals”

“That's how the origin of the black blood crystal” said Mr. Akins as he took a breath and sipped his tea.

“Where is the location of the tomb? Where is the headquarters of this Cemetery Guard?” ask John further

“The tomb of the gods is said to be located inside the pyramids that exist in Egypt” sahut lord Akins.

“For the Custodian of the Tomb, it is not known exactly where their headquarters is and whether it still exists to this day. No one ever found them” he continued.

“Thank you Mr. Akins for the information you provided. It's great to add to my insight about gem” John said with a smile

Then the discussion of the four of them continued on to other collections of antiques.

After the night, John and Luciana and Amelia say goodbye to John's hotel.

“John, how about we have dinner at the restaurant first while talking” said Amelia

“Alright, I also happen to be hungry” John said.

Then they rushed into the restaurant to eat dinner together.

“Wah, Mr. Araga is indeed an idol on girls. Now can dine with two beautiful women again” godanya that makes John's eyes twitch and dizzy to hear it.

Luciana and Amelia's faces blushed red at Violet's words.

“Include, I am Violet, one of the girl friends of Mr. Araga” he continued while teasing back that makes John's face red

“Sa..I Luciana” sahut Luciana stammered

“I Amelia” sahut princess Amelia.

“Amelia? Princess Amelia? From the British royal family, right?” ask Violet

“Iya. That's me” says Amelia's daughter back.

“Wah, Mr. Araga's taste is getting higher. Surely Luciana's a close friend of Amelia's isn't she? You two are antique collectors right?” continued Violet while sitting near John who made John's head more dizzy.

“What's Violet?” john's question cuts Violet's word

“Oh Mr. Araga, I am here to say goodbye to Mr. Araga. I'm leaving for Egypt tomorrow. Would you like to stop by my room tonight?” violet Goda while embracing John's arm

John's eyes twitched, trying to take Violet's arm off. Luciana and Amelia's faces flushed with jealousy at Violet's attitude and closeness to John. Moreover, hearing the word “ come to kamar” which makes the smiles on their faces become pouting.

Violet laughed amusedly in her heart looking at the expressions of the three of them, then she stood up.

“If Mr. Araga has anything to say, I will wait in the room. Hihihi..” he said as he passed leaving the three of them with a laugh in his heart.

“Damn it, you can still laugh at me Violet” John said in his heart hearing Violet's laughter.

John involuntarily glanced towards Luciana and Amelia who were looking at him with strange gazes making the atmosphere turn hot.

“You didn't catch up with him to master's room?” luciana asked while bowing her head with a red face

“Basic playboy” said Amelia in her heart while cutting the meat roughly which made John's head giddy seven circumference heard it

“Why should I go there?. He if you want to go, yes go aja.” said John

“Is he your lover John?” ask Amelia

“Not. She is not my lover” John replied with a slight nervousness but her attitude was noticed by the two pairs of female eyes in front of her.

“Oh God, why lately you give me trials like this” John murmured in his heart.

John never dared to get too close to women, he was just friends with women. But lately he was surprised by women today who are so forthright and outspoken in their attitude.

“I will also leave for Egypt after finishing some things in Peru” continued John.

“Ohya, why can it be the same? We are also going to Egypt” said Amelia while glancing towards Luciana and blinking.

“Iya, a friend in Egypt also expected us to visit not long ago. So we will go there the day after to meet him” said Luciana assented.

“Oh, okay. Then I'll see you in Egypt later” said John with rest.
