Chapter 234: The Passage to the Treasure
Soon the group came to the other side of the river, where everyone was going to come just now.
As we came to this side of the river, the corpses around the shore began to increase.
And when a few people came to the gate of the city wall, the corpses were even more numerous.
Some of these corpses were killed in battle, and some were hung up and starved to death, which made the atmosphere at the gate even more eerie.
Climbed up from outside the wall at the gate, and then a strange sight appeared in front of everyone.
Behind the wall was a world full of water, and all the buildings around it were flooded.
"There must have been a problem with the drainage system here, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." Laura speculated as she looked at the scene in front of her.
"Well~ it seems that someone blew up the dam, so the water flooded this area." At this time, Yelena said suddenly.
Turning her head to look, I don't know when Elena was looking into the distance with a telescope.
Seeing this, Momoko hurriedly took out her binoculars and looked up.
"Huh?! Look, guess what I saw. Momoko screamed.
After hearing Peach's words, Chen Fan and Laura also took out their binoculars and looked at them.
At this time, Nate was the only one on the field who did not have a telescope, so he could only scratch his ears and cheeks and watch, but he was helpless.
In the end, it was Yelena who looked distressed and handed him the telescope in her hand.
Happily taking the binoculars, Nate hurried to check them out.
"It's Sam, and Leif them." Nate exclaimed when he saw a figure appear in front of a building.
"Where is that? They actually went over there. Elena asked curiously.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should belong to Avery's Palace." Laura groaned.
"Now that we've found them, let's go over as soon as possible." Chen Fan put away the binoculars and said.
Hearing this, the others did not object, and began to jump off the city wall after Chen Fan.
Along the dilapidated building, the group soon encountered mercenaries patrolling the road.
Without any nonsense, the group began to cooperate to kill these mercenaries who did not know that they had been killed by the top of the Grim Reaper.
Later, on the way to Sam's side, everyone found out some things that had happened here in the past, such as the civil war between the thieves who built this place and the thieves.
For the struggle between the pirate kings here and the civilian pirates, as well as the infighting between the pirate kings and the pirate kings, Chen Fan was not surprised at all.
After all, these thieves had amassed a huge amount of wealth under the convocation of Avery back then, and as long as they were not brainstorming, they would have some unrealistic ideas about these riches.
And once the greedy desire has begun to sprout in the heart, then when it grows into a towering tree, that is when the war begins.
Stopping and stopping along the way, the group soon came to a building, and from the clues found, everyone found that this mansion was the residence of Tonas Tu.
Sneaking in cautiously from one direction, maybe this is not the target, so there are no other mercenaries guarding the mansion inside.
Eventually, everyone entered a hall that resembled a banquet hall.
What caught everyone's eye was a huge dining table in front of everyone, and some corpses were staggering in front of the dining table.
"Huh?! Look, what is this. Momoko picked up a card that was placed on the table and showed it to everyone.
"There are a lot of them here, too, all of them are the marks of different pirates." Elena also picked up some cards from the table.
"Oh my God, I see, these are the pirate kings who founded Libotaria, how could they all die here?" Laura exclaimed suddenly.
"How could they all die here?" Nate's face was full of surprise.
"In this case, it looks like they are all dying defenseless, and the only explanation should be that they were poisoned." Chen Fan picked up the wine glass in the hand of a corpse and shook it at everyone.
"Why? It's not like they're all evil, and then they commit suicide by taking poison en masse, right? Momoko asked curiously.
"No, you count, there are a few corpses here." Laura shook her head and said.
"One, two, three, four...... There were ten corpses in total. Peaches stretched out her fingers and began to count, "Huh?!" Originally, there were a total of twelve pirate kings, but now there are only ten corpses here, which means that the two remaining pirate kings have poisoned the other dozen or so people? ”
"So who poisoned these people in the end?" Yelena asked.
At this time, Nate waved a note in his hand and said, "Don't guess, all the answers are in this." ”
Then he began to read the words written on the paper for the people:
"On behalf of Lord Avery, I invite you to come to my estate at sunset tomorrow, and now we should put aside our old suspicions and unite under the glorious banner of God and freedom! The title of the book is Thomas Figure. ”
"Well~ it is now clear that Thomas Tu and Henry Avery conspired to poison the other pirate kings in the name of a truce." Chen Fan touched his chin and groaned.
"So now let's reconstruct what happened, these guys took the treasure for themselves and caused a full-scale riot, and then after they dealt with the civilians of the colony, they felt that there were too many people who shared the treasure, so they started to friction with each other, and finally Avery and Tu invited them here in the name of peace, and then the two ended up watching the others drink the gambling." Laura speculated what had happened.
"So all the treasures of Lebotaria were pocketed by these two men." Nate affirmed, "Hehe, it's ironic that these people were famous pirates at the time, but in the end, they died in obscurity at this table, and no one knew about it. ”
"So, since the missing banquet host is not in Thomas Tu's manor, then we should go to Avery Manor and see if we can get Sam out by the way." Yelena suggested.
Without further ado, the group left Tonas Tu's manor and headed towards their final goal, the highest point in New Devon, Avery's mansion.
The two men's estates were just a short distance away, and after climbing over a cliff, the group made their way to the outer walls of Avery Manor.
"Look, it's a shoreline truck, they're still in there." Momoko said, pointing to a car parked outside the manor in the distance.
"Well, let's pay attention next, don't be attacked by mercenaries hiding in the shadows." Chen Fan nodded and admonished.
From a broken wall, the group officially entered Avery's manor.
"Why didn't Avery kill Thomas in the first place? Could it be that he was Avery's right-hand man, so he wasn't killed? Elena asked curiously.
"It may be a possibility, but I feel like Avery first needed a helper to help him clean up the other pirates, and then tried to kill Thomas when he lost his effect." Laura speculated.
"And Thomas obviously knew that there was a plan for this, and he knew that after Avery cleaned up the other pirates, his next target would be himself, so both of them were thinking about how to kill each other in the end." Chen Fan added.
Later, as everyone gradually went deeper, some weapon supplies began to appear around, which were brought in by the people along the coastline.
From this point on, it shows that everyone is about to come into contact with each other.
And this is indeed the case, in front of a blocked door, the group was attacked by the mercenaries of the coastline.
With the sound of a gunshot, countless mercenaries began to assemble from all corners of the manor towards the location where the group was.
Knowing that this tough battle was inevitable, the crowd had already armed themselves.
For a moment, countless bullets began to fly in the air in Avery's manor.
On one side are the many and fierce firepower of the coastline mercenaries. On the one hand, Chen Fan and his party are advanced in weapons and agile.
As the battle between the two sides began, the already dilapidated Avery Manor was suddenly crumbling.
Here, a rocket blew a large hole in the wall, and there, a shuttle bullet smashed the wooden staircase into a hornet's nest.
This scorching melee finally came to an end under a perverted version of Peach's grenade.
As the violent shock wave swept by, Avery's Manor was suddenly blown up to a small half, and those shoreline mercenaries fled for a while, and all disappeared in an instant.
After cleaning up these mercenaries, everyone finally entered the room they wanted to enter before.
Behind the door was a hallway, and directly across from a couch was a corpse sitting.
A piece of paper was very conspicuously grasped by the corpse in his hand.
Picking up the paper casually, Chen Fan began to read the content on it:
"It's Avery's letter! My loyal people, our glorious paradise has sunset, and we will fight to defend its riches, treacherously plotting our secrets, so we must act quickly, destroy the dam, purify New German, and transport my treasures to my ship through that passage. ”
"Looks like our previous guesses were correct." Laura took the letter handed over by Chen Fan and said with a smile.
The group walked and talked, and soon came to a huge hall.
Suddenly, something familiar caught Nate's attention, and he quickly walked up to it and picked it up.
"It's Sam's lighter." Nate said, looking at what he was holding.
"Did he throw it away?" Yelena asked.
"Well, he must have done it on purpose, so what we're looking for must be around here, and Sam is marking us." Nate affirmed.
"So the passage that Everyson mentioned just now should be somewhere in this room, let's look around for anything strange." Chen Fan said to everyone.
The group then began to search the room.
The so-called large number of people is powerful, and soon the passage was found.
The mechanism used to be on top of the globe next to the desk, and as soon as the globe was turned, the passage would automatically open.
Looking at the stairs that extended into the ground, the group looked at each other and walked down the stairs.
