Chapter 24: A Transitional Expedition to the Underground~
When a person begins to die, she cannot stop obsessed with death, just like when a snowball begins to roll from the top of a mountain, it will grow bigger and bigger, and become unstoppable, until it shatters and destroys itself.
Ash, Charles, and Ivey wandered around the abandoned manor, searching for "treasures", and slowly, they came to the location of the abandoned manor's former backyard.
Between weeds and broken dead wood and rubble, Ash found a well.
"Ahh
Ash went to the well, shone it down with a torch, and saw that there was no water below, and he was in a hurry, and said something to himself.
Then, Ash turned around and waved at Charles and Ivey who were not far away.
"Hey, Ivey, Charles, come here, quietly I found something, the entrance to the legendary treasure, a well called 'A Well'!"
"What, it's 'a well'! Ash, you've found a 'well', it's amazing, ah, no, it's amazing! ”
Ivy ran over and ran around the well, and the thief shouted excitedly.
Hawkers, kids, it's like this when you're having fun.
"Well, wait, I remember, something I saw in that room before, I can use it now"
After admiring Ash, Ivy seemed to remember something, said so, and then hurried away, heading towards the building of the abandoned manor.
"So, Ash, it's just a well, and there's nothing down there."
Charles also ran over, came to the well, looked down the well, and found nothing, and said this with some interest.
"Oh, Charles, take a good look, this is the legendary 'well'"
Ash walked up to Charles, smiled, blinked, and said mysteriously.
"Uh, Ash, I don't see any difference in it."
Charles couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and looked at Ash's expression at the moment speechlessly, for Ash's ability to always say a bunch of "nouns" that looked very powerful for no reason, Charles said that sometimes his thinking really couldn't keep up.
"Hmph, boy, look with your heart, open your eyes, come, take a closer look at this well, see what is in it!"
Ash patted Charles on the shoulder, said like an elder, then picked up the torch and pointed down the well for Charles to continue looking.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, there's no water in the well"
Charles was taken by Ash in a daze, and once again probed and looked down the well, and then he finally saw that the well was a dry well.
"Mmmm, yes, yes, there's no water, Charles, you found it, you understand!"
Ash nodded and said.
"Uh, I'm sorry, Ash, I didn't understand, this is an abandoned well, dry well, isn't it normal that there is no water?"
Charles was silent for a moment, then said to Ash very seriously.
"Huh? Huh? Charles, you can't be night blindness, uh, no, you should have been thrown off countless times before for night blindness, well, is it myopia? Don't you see, down there, down there, at the bottom of the well, at the bottom of the underground wall, isn't there something strange about it? ”
Listening to Charles's reply, Ash couldn't help frowning, looked at him with some hesitation, and then habitually curled his hair with one finger, and said in pieces, and then pulled Charles up, Ash decided to show Charles one more time with his own finger.
"Well, I see, I, but I know, many big families, well, will build treasure rooms in their own residences, usually this kind of secret room will be in the basement of the master's bedroom, and some special masters' homes will be surprised, such as a well."
Ash explained as he pointed out the place to Ivey.
"And we have searched for so long before, and we have not found a secret room in such a large manor, then, obviously, the owner of this manor must have been a person with special ideas, and his treasure, the secret room where the treasure is hidden, must be under the well, right there, in the hole that has been eroded and exposed by the years!"
"That, it turned out to be the entrance to the treasure room, ah, I know, ahhaha"
[Okay, so this well is really a magical 'well']
Charles twitched the corners of his mouth, and expressed his sincere admiration (speechless) for Ash's "naming ability".
"Hey, I'm back, look what I've brought back, bell-bell!"
At this time, Ivy ran over in a hurry, waving the rope in his hand and shouting loudly.
"Wow, it's really you, the brave Ivy Yo, who was chosen by the Pure Magic Sword, actually found the key to open the treasure of the 'well' - the rope of Didi Bara!"
Ash walked over, with a happy and amused look on his face, took the rope from Ive's hand, held it up and looked at it, and then gave the ordinary rope an unusual name.
"Ahaha, uh-huh, yes, the rope of Didi Bara! With this, we will be able to go down the well, ah, the door to the treasure will be opened! ”
Ivy also touched the back of his head, then said with a smug laugh, and then walked to the well, rubbed his hands, and couldn't wait to go down the well.
"Ash, hurry up, hurry up and open the door with the rope of Didibara!"
"Oh, okay, open the door!"
[Tsk, I didn't expect that Ivey's stupid guy could really get useful good things]
Ash checked the rope, looked at the length, and then tied one end to a big tree not far away, and threw the other end into the well, seeing that the end of the rope just touched the bottom of the well, Ash also praised Ivy in his heart.
"Ah, Ivey, Charles, come on, get ready to go down"
"Wait, Ash, Ivey, what, we're going to go down the well like that? Isn't that hole a little strange? ”
Charles stopped Ash and Ivey, and after taking a closer look at the well, he said with some concern.
"Huh? What's weird, remember our purpose today, exploration, exploration treasure hunting, don't grind, gotcha, I'll go down first, then Ivey, and then you're okay, what are you afraid of, really! ”
Ash, who was in the mood, glanced at Charles speechlessly, and then said this, and he also fell down and pulled the rope down the well.
"Adventure~"
Then, Ivy also followed with great interest.
