Chapter 37 Treasure hunting in an abandoned cave

The next morning, it was slightly bright, and Witt and the others got up early to prepare for crossing the bridge. Last night, everyone couldn't sleep because of the treasure, and they longed for dawn early. After everyone had breakfast, they left the two brothers and the three of Bandni in the front village, and the remaining ten brothers including Witt, Rolf, Rum, etc., under the suggestion of Witt, all tied one end of the thick rope, and tied a slipknot on the iron lock at the other end to ensure safety, and then everyone stepped on the iron rope in turn, held the iron cable, and slowly walked towards the main village that had been burned down.

The chain bridge is located between the two peaks, and below it is a cliff with sharp rocks and bare walls, which is terrifying. The iron bridge at high altitude has no peaks to stop, let the wind blow wildly, although everyone walks on it to break their hearts, thinking of the treasure at their fingertips, but also completely forget the height of the mountain, the strength of the wind, the danger of the bridge.

In an instant, everyone reached the front of the main village. The simple parapet wall in front of the village has long been destroyed by the fire, leaving only a piece of black charcoal in the cliff cave. The crowd left a small path by the black charcoal pile, and then explored the cave. I saw that the rock in the cave was bare, it looked like granite, and it was only black under the influence of the fire, and it was difficult to distinguish its color. The cliff cave is empty, and there are many vents, but it is indeed primitive, and the naturally preserved stone is basically untouched, and only the ruins on the ground can only roughly guess that only a few rooms were separated by wood.

The people did not pay much attention to the environment inside the cave, but blindly searched for the treasure that the bandit might have left, and rummaged the ruins around, preferring in vain rather than miss a single dinar on the ground. Under the rubble, a lot of burned or broken goose plush and cotton linen, as well as burnt bread, cheese, pork, chicken and other food, charred fuel barrels, and some blackened but non-functional metal tools were found to be barely usable, which was specially collected by Witt.

In addition to some scattered jewels, two iron boxes, one large and one small, were found in the main village, and although they had survived the fire and fuel explosion, the sturdy metal shell was still well preserved. The large tin box was the size of a medium-sized square chair, filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and a large number of dinars, worth more than 4,000 or nearly 5,000 dinars. This amazed everyone. Everyone here is from a poor family, and everyone may not be able to get so much money in their lifetime, so it is difficult to say that it is normal for people not to be excited.

In another tin box were two open parchment letters, all of whom were illiterate except for Witt, who was slightly literate, and left them to Witt's disposal. Witt opened the first letter and pondered it word by word, only to see that it was written briefly: "As long as the head of the person is paid by Warisi Enpoye, the deposit is two thousand dinars, and the balance of eight thousand dinars will be given after the matter is completed." At the end of the letter was also signed the name of Maligabouye, and Witt had expected it to be less surprised, except that on the back of the letter was another letter written by Cass, which read: "Honorable Lord, if you help me to become the supreme leader of Fesdena, I will swear to be your loyal subordinate." Supremacy Kas"

Cass had such wolf ambitions, and Witt didn't know anything about them in the months he spent with him, which had to make Witt a little dazed, and no matter how the people around him cheered, there was really no reaction. When Witt thought of all the teachings Cass had taught him before, he felt that what he had experienced in the short term was like a dream, and he had only woken up yet, but he could not escape the reality in front of him. Betrayal of the lord was the most shameful act of a knight, and it was something that the chivalry that Cass had always cared about could not tolerate, and Witt had always kept it in mind. But what Cass did made it difficult for him to understand, and in the end Witt could only understand that in the face of interests, all spirits are fake, they are all chains of interests, tools to connect the two sides of interests, nothing more, and there is no really noble relationship between monarchs and ministers. This is especially true of the continent of Calradia, where reason is extremely distorted.

Witt began to step out of his ideal world, and began to open his eyes again to this strange and incomprehensible world. What supports the rolling of the world's bearings? What is the significance of the times in which you live? Doing something to change the world? Or go with the flow until you are swallowed up by darkness?

It is noisy and cut nearly three feet, standing still like a sculpture. Where is Nianjun in Fangcao? You can't answer. Chaotic for thousands of years, sparse and sparse is difficult to do. There are ancients and latecomers, so why are you afraid that there will be no heroes in troubled times. Q: When will Jun Xiaoxiong arrive? Just wait once in a thousand years!

Witt didn't dwell on, but packed the letter and opened another slightly new oily letter, which should have just been written. In addition to a rough piece of stationery, there was also a map. This is a map of the terrain around Fesdena and the layout of Fesdena, although it looks a little rough and relatively old and damaged, but it does not affect the use and viewing of the map. The letter simply read: "Two days later, old rules, see you at Fest." ”

Witt thought about it for a long time and didn't understand the true meaning of the letter, it seemed as if two old acquaintances were doing business, and this map also made Witt scratch his head. But after thinking about it, this bandit is long gone, even if there is no deal to be done, I can't help but worry about it, this map looks quite precious, maybe it will be of some use when the time comes. Witt carefully placed the map and letters in the envelope, then re-locked the two letters in a small box, ready to find a hidden place to hide.

Witt asked everyone to take care of the two letters, and the next question was about what to do with the big box of treasures. Rolf was the first to speak: "Brother Witt, both of us have worked hard along the way to get the treasure here, and you have helped me and my brother a lot along the way, and you have also given us some benefits, which I also remember." The matter of this treasure is all my own brother, I will only say, although we are more numerous than you, but I will take a step back and only take half of it, I don't know what Brother Witt means? ”

As soon as the words landed, Star immediately shouted: "You really kicked your nose in the face, you don't know how to lift." In order to go to Shuangfeng Village, my fourth brother died. How much suffering have we endured for this treasure, and if it weren't for the Witt brothers, we wouldn't have known where we died? If it weren't for the Witt brothers, would the bandits be annihilated? If it weren't for the Witt brothers, would you be alive today? ”

Before Star could finish speaking, Safin wanted to continue arguing, but was stopped by Witt. Wittur knows that once the conflict of interest is not handled properly, it will inevitably peak against each other, and the consequences will be unimaginable, not to mention that they are all brothers who have suffered together.

"Needless to say, the eldest husband is not informal, why should I worry about this money! I don't plan for everyone to do it for a little more today, I am for the common interests of everyone, everything can be discussed, why bother to fight and scold at every turn, what kind of system! I'll be a little less, and as the Rolf brothers say, I have no opinion on half points! Witt was not shocked in front of the treasure, leaving everyone with the refreshment of a hero, and everyone also bowed their heads in shame because of their own calculations, and said no more.

Rolf and his entourage each carried some money, and after bidding farewell to Witt, they crossed the cliff along the chain bridge again, and when they arrived at the front village, the group left in a hurry, and have not been in touch for the time being.
