Chapter 352: The Abandoned Castle
The next morning, Barry rode the reluctant Huck, and Richard and Old Kim rode together in the Tork to the mountains of the south, where the treasure was hidden.
Although the picture of two big men riding a horse is not very good, in order to hurry up, there is no other way, and it is the right thing to get to the destination quickly.
After all, although they have worked together for two days, Huck is still reluctant to let strangers ride on him, and Richard and the two, knowing Huck's strength, naturally dare not force it.
Although the Stone Wilderness was sparsely populated, Barry was on their way today, and they still encountered some strangers, who looked like some groups of mercenaries.
But they still have a little eyesight, just looking at Huck's giant wolf form, they know that Barry is not easy to mess with, plus the undisguised hand cannon on Old Kim's waist, so they just glanced at it from a distance, and avoided Barry's route of action.
This makes Barry, who wants to have some fun on the road, a little boring.
I have to say that people who can successfully stock up in this place full of violence will always have a little wisdom in life and know who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked.
So they managed to escape and didn't become robbers who were targeted by Barry.
The journey was very smooth, but in order to take care of the physical strength of Teucer's horse, the movement was not particularly fast, and it took about three hours for Barry to finally see the continuous hills.
"Ahh I was finally about to find the location of the treasure, and I was almost bored to death after walking this part of the road, especially when the road was still uneven and bumpy. ”
Barry complained casually, took the treasure map iron card out of the Glutton, and then looked at the mountains in the distance and began the small game of "find the same".
"This mountain is not like it, it is not like that mountain, what about the one on the right! No, no, the one on the left is more like..."
"Ahh I don't know which soul painter this broken map is, but I'm afraid only the masters of abstraction can tell what this map means. ”
Huck put his head next to Barry, wanting to see what the map looked like, but Barry was despised for a while: "Sample, you still have to come here, like me, a five-good student with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor can't handle it, you dog who has never been to school still want to play the puzzle game." ”
Huck ignored Barry, he just poked his head out to look at it, and when he realized that the iron plate had nothing but an abstract map, he turned his head back and lay on the ground to ignore Barry.
Richard watched Barry walk around there, but he couldn't find a clue, turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "I don't know if you can let me take a look, after all, I have a lot of experience in exploration, maybe I can see something." ”
Barry threw the iron card at Richard: "I just said that the treasure has your share, what is there to mind, since you want to see it, then you can give it a try!" ”
Richard looked at the iron card in his hand, turned it over, looked at it back and forth, left and right, and finally looked into the distance for a while, as if thinking about something.
After a long time, Richard spoke: "Where we are now is not marked on the map of this iron plate, so you can't find where the breakthrough is. ”
"But since I've been reading a lot of idle books, I've recognized a marker, maybe we can get there first, and then you'll be able to have a coordinate point and be able to tell where the treasure is."
Barry took the iron plate handed over by Richard and said curiously, "Where are the coordinates you are talking about?" ”
Richard pointed to a house-like pattern on the iron plate: "This is the coordinate point, if I am not mistaken, this should be an ancient castle from a hundred years ago, we can only continue to go down if we find it." ”
Although Barry couldn't see how the abstract square pattern was understood by Richard as a house, and thus associated with the castle, he had no other clues, so he planned to go there first and have a look.
Barry gently kicked Huck on the ground, signaling that the lazy dog should move on, but Huck was lying on the ground and not moving, probably due to being taunted by Barry.
"You, a good student of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, why do you still need the help of an illiterate dog from me! I think if you can run through it on your own, you can prove that you are well-rounded. ”
Huck not only didn't get up, but also used Barry's previous words to mock Barry, intending to let Barry take matters into his own hands and run to find the treasure.
There is no way.
When the Silver Bullet offensive doesn't work, the seduce with snacks doesn't work, and the pie painting is ignored by Huck, Barry finally gives up on riding Huck to find the treasure.
Fortunately, the castle was not very far from where Barry was, and Barry quickly ran more than twenty miles away, because of the dust on the road, and his shoes were dirty.
"Wow! This castle is too broken! And it's too shady! If it weren't for the breath of negative energy, I would have felt that there must be an evil spirit hidden here, and there was no need to make a background board for horror movies here. ”
Barry looked at the dilapidated castle and sighed.
He had thought that the castle was like Little Audrey's house, with white walls, bright and spacious rooms, various sculptures and artworks, a maid trimming plants, and a swimming pool in the backyard.
This castle completely broke his concept, the castle was made of bluestone as a whole, but only the ruins of the walls had long been left, and they were overgrown with weeds.
Looking through the broken walls, you can see the black-brown house, with only a very small window, like a prison vent.
Barry would never like this kind of building, even if it was in good condition.
Richard said: "This castle has long been abandoned, it should be at least two or three hundred years old, during the Dark Age, it was occasionally used as a stop for smuggling teams, but since the smuggling activities stopped, there should be very few people here." ”
"It's also a place I wrote down at random when I was looking up the history of the Stone Wilderness, and I wouldn't have thought of it if it weren't for the treasure, and this is my first time here."
Then Richard asked Barry to take out the treasure map iron plate, and then pointed to the iron plate and said, "You can fight the surrounding scenery again now and see if you can find clues." ”
Barry used the castle as a coordinate point and compared it with the surrounding mountains, and soon found a clue.
"You see that the two mountains connected in the picture are not like the mountains in front of you, and this towering peak, which is this spike in the picture..."
"Look at this again..."
Barry was very excited, and after the comparison, he finally found a specific path and waved his hand: "Let's hurry up!" Treasure awaits us just ahead. ”
