Upon discovering this gold-plated stele, Leonard Ethan and the others immediately stopped their search and began to translate. He did this for two reasons. First, because the stele looked extremely valuable, and naturally, he wanted to translate the content as soon as possible.
On the other hand, it was because since they were all out exploring together, and since he had already made such an important discovery, he should leave some opportunities for others.
After all, the entire mining district was discovered by Leonard through his translation of the ancient Egyptian temple photos. Since he found such a gold-laden stele this time, he should now leave some opportunities for others.
Mr. Scott was very well-prepared for this adventure, and even had a simple cultural relic processing laboratory set up in a caravan, so Leonard's work naturally became much easier.
