The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

After they crossed a village, the expedition team arrived on a barren piece of land.

Sylvie 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?"

Lara then realized that archaeology was really just digging into old tombs, without any
