Volume 1 The Fuse Chapter 36 Make a fortune
Along the way, humanoid skeletons and various mutilated weapons continued to appear on the ground. The walls of the pillars are marked by fire, and many places are so badly damaged that they are simply in ruins.
It seems that there was a big war here.
Hi! Whatever happened to it was all from an endless period ago, and it has nothing to do with me.
From today onwards, I will be free from the fate of the poor ghost!
When I go out, I'm going to eat two big chicken legs, one on my left hand and one on my right.
It is estimated that it has been walking for 1 hour.
"Haven't you arrived yet?"
I'm getting a little impatient.
Without answering, the soldier continued on his way.
Soon after, a plaza appeared in front of me, larger than the original space.
On the opposite side of the square, there is a white jade staircase that allows dozens of people to walk side by side.
Grass, are these really white jade?
I couldn't help but lean down and touch the stairs.
Warm and silky, it is indeed the texture of jade.
If there is a treasure such as a space ring, then this staircase can be loaded into it.
What a pity!
Roughly calculated, there are ninety-nine steps.
How much is it worth?
Although there are also traces of fire, such a large piece is still worth a lot of money, right?
Rub, I really haven't seen the world, isn't it white jade, there are countless gold coins waiting for me in front of me.
Ascend the stairs and in front of you is a magnificent palace.
The two gates were nearly ten meters high, pitch black and shiny, and should be wooden, but there was no trace of decay.
I don't know what kind of precious wood it is.
It's a pity, it's too big.
Entering the palace, the eyes are resplendent in gold, even the surrounding walls are white jade, and the top is inlaid with various patterns, all of which are gold.
Directly in front is a throne, all made of gold. The armrests are carved from jadeite, and the back of the chair is carved with a double dragon play bead, but the bead is black......
"Stop."
"Don't turn around!"
Taking out the dagger, I buckled the bead off.
It's a black pearl the size of a fist.
This size can be taken away.
"Alright, continue to the treasury."
Walking to the side of the wall behind the throne, one of the soldiers at the front knocked three times on a certain spot on the wall, and a secret door slowly opened, revealing a secret passage.
After walking through the secret passage, I finally arrived at a storeroom.
"Go outside and keep watch."
It was only after the soldiers that I observed the storehouse.
The storeroom is large, at least 600 square meters, with rows of two-person high cabinets neatly arranged.
I opened a drawer nearby, and the golden light almost blinded me.
It's all gold!
"Liya, pinch my face."
"What's the matter, master."
"It's nothing, pinch it."
Hiss –
"Alright, alright."
Not a dream.
Great, I'm rich.
It's so cool to grab a lot of gold coins in your pocket.
Alas, this is full.
"Liya, come and fill your pockets."
I grabbed a few handfuls of gold coins and filled the pockets on Liya's clothes, but unfortunately there were still too few.
Looking at so many gold coins, but I can't bring much, it makes me anxious.
"Master."
"Huh?"
"It would be nice if there were cloth bags."
"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't expect this situation when I came out, where can I find a cloth bag here?"
Pregnant.
I walked to the entrance of the passage and gave the order to the soldiers.
It didn't take long for the soldiers to return, all carrying a stack of cloth bags on their shoulders.
"Put the bag down, and you go out and keep watching."
Damn, these bags are already in tatters, and they can't hold them at all.
Fortunately, there are a few bags that look different in material are still intact, and they also have the texture of cloth to the touch, but they can be preserved in these years for an unknown amount of time, and they are definitely not ordinary fabrics.
I put the coins in my bag and asked Leah to look at the other drawers.
The bag was so large that it held less than 1/5 of the gold in the entire drawer.
"Master, there are some strange little stones here."
"Strange little stone, what stone?"
Grabbing the cloth bag and going to the drawer, I saw the stone in Lia's mouth.
It's diamonds!
Damn, a drawer of diamonds, and gold coins to make hair?
"Liya, well done."
I gave her a thumbs up.
"Thank you, host!"
She smiled happily.
"Let's see if there's any of these little stones."
"Hmm."
Take out another bag and keep filling it with diamonds.
"Master, there's that too."
"Okay, I'll be here in a moment."
"Master, there's still one here."
"Okay."
I'm going to be rich!
In addition to gold coins and diamonds, Liya also found all kinds of crystals, gems and other very valuable things.
But among these things, diamonds are the most valuable.
I guess so.
"Master, there seems to be a secret door here."
Well? And the secret door?
Is it the most valuable thing inside?
I hurriedly walked over to Liya and observed the wall in front of me.
Indeed, there are very small gaps that vaguely form the outline of a door, and it is difficult to spot without looking closely.
Knock Knock Knock –
There was an empty sound when I knocked it.
It is indeed a secret door.
I pushed it to all four sides of the door, but there was no response at all.
A search of the neighborhood yielded no resemblance to the mechanism.
How do I get started?
"Master, there's a pattern here."
"Where, where."
"This."
Looking in the direction pointed out by Liya, there is indeed a carved pattern on the left side of the secret door, which is very shallow, about half a meter away from the secret door. Because the color is exactly the same as the wall, it's hard to notice.
It's -
The pattern of a knife?
Reaching out and touching it, he didn't find any mechanism, and the secret door still didn't move.
Wait, will there be any other places that haven't noticed.
I checked the nearby walls again, this time more closely.
Finally, a pattern was also found on the right side of the secret door, which was also half a meter away from the secret door.
However, this pattern depicts not a knife, but a dagger, which feels familiar.
Crimson Blade Blood Moon?
That crescent moon pattern, yes, a blood moon.
Slowly approaching the dagger pattern, a cold moonlight shot out from the crescent moon and was absorbed by the crescent moon in the dagger on the wall.
With a boom, the secret door slowly opened.
The blood moon turned out to be the key to this secret door?
What is the connection between this dagger and this palace?
Let's go first and see what is valuable, it is hidden so deeply, and it will be opened by a blood moon, there must be a lot of treasures.
"Liya, let's go."
"Liya?"
Turning around, Liya was already in tears.
"Why are you crying?"
Liya lowered her head, tears already dripping down her chin to the ground.
"I'm sorry, master, I don't know why, I suddenly feel so sad and uncomfortable."
"I guess it's sad to see such a glorious palace being submerged in the tide of history, and I have a little bit of it. But this is the inevitability of history, and no matter how brilliant people and things are, they will eventually be submerged by history. ”
I comforted, lifted Lia's chin, and reached out to help her wipe away her tears.
"That's not the case......" Liya looked at me with sadness in her eyes.
"What's that?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
"Okay, stop crying."
Suddenly, something came to me.
This secret door needs to be opened by the Blood Moon, which originally belonged to Riya's father......
Could it be that this palace originally belonged to Liya's ancestors?
Didn't the soldiers follow my orders because I was the master here in my previous life?
The soldiers recognized the Blood Moon?
By the way, I remembered that it was when I took the Blood Moon from my bosom that the torches were instantly lit in the dark underground space, and the soldiers began to rush towards me at that time.
It turns out that Liya is the master here!
I glanced at the bag not far away, which contained countless gold coins and diamonds.
Am I sneaking into her house with Leah and stealing her things?
"That-"
"Shall we go in and have a look?"
"Hmm." She finally stopped her tears.
"Then let's go."
I walked in first.
This is a secret room without any furnishings, not large, only more than 100 square meters.
There was nothing inside, except for a few mottled murals on the surrounding walls.
The first is a bustling scene. A continent floating above the white clouds, with a magnificent palace in the center. The streets are lined with shops of all sizes, as well as street vendors, dense crowds of pedestrians, and neat queues of soldiers patrolling the streets.
In the second, a young man wearing a crown stands in front of the palace, pointing at the sky, and all beings worship.
In the third, a middle-aged man wearing a crown is holding two babies and a woman standing next to him.
In the fourth, an old man wearing a crown sits on a throne, and two young men in front of the throne bow down.
The fifth is a battlefield, where countless soldiers are fighting together, and two young men are each holding a sword and a dagger, and they are fighting each other. A crack appeared in the sky, and thunder rolled.
The last mural is a hell on earth, the continent is falling, there is fire everywhere, corpses everywhere, blood everywhere.
These frescoes are supposed to record the history of a kingdom from its glory to its decline.
"Liya, looking at these paintings, do you have any impressions?"
"Nope." She shook her head, but tears flowed down her eyes again.
I reached out again to help Leah wipe away her tears.
"If you awaken any memory, if your life is related to this palace, don't be sad, don't be sad. Everything is a thing of the past, everything is history. ”
"Well, I don't have an awakening memory, I just don't know why I'm sad."
"Then let's go, there's nothing of value here."
"Don't cry, I'll treat you to chicken legs when you go out, two."
"Thank you, host."
Back in the outer storeroom, he continued to fill the bag with diamonds, and the one that had been containing the gold coins was also vacated. After all, diamonds are worth more.
Filling all the bags in good condition, I beckoned the soldiers in.
"Is there an exit to this place?"
By the way, they can't communicate, they have to give orders directly.
"You carry these bags and take us to the exit."
They moved, and it seems that there is an exit.
I don't want to stay here too long, or Liya might cry again, I'm not good at coaxing girls.
And I can only take this little thing out, and the rest will be stored here temporarily, no one knows the location anyway.
I don't know how long I walked, but I finally followed the soldiers to the end of a passage.
The soldier pressed a trap on the wall on one side of the passage.
There was a click, and a hole slowly appeared above. The sand was scattered and piled up on the ground.
I climbed up first, and after making sure that there was no one nearby and no danger, I pulled Liya up as well.
"You carry the bag."
The soldiers were stunned and unresponsive.
