Chapter 231: The Lost Treasure
After Chen Fan's treatment, Simon's injuries finally eased.
Outside the cave, everyone saw Chen Fan and Laura coming out of the cave and hurriedly surrounded them.
"Chen Fan, how's Simon's condition?" Bonnie stepped forward and looked at the two nervously.
"It's no big deal, and you'll be able to bounce around after a period of recuperation." Chen Fan smiled and nodded at everyone.
After hearing this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"But ......"
With these two words, Chen Fan once again stirred up everyone's nerves.
"But what?"
Jack looked at Chen Fan nervously.
"Don't be nervous, I mean, Simon won't be able to join us next, plus the injured David, and the people who take care of both of them, and then our team will have to be separated."
Hearing this, Jack pondered for a while, then looked up at Chen Fan and said, "Next, let me, Nicole and Bonnie stay." ”
Chen Fan looked at Jack and was stunned for a while, "You ......"
"Needless to say, Nicole can indeed stay and take care of them, but after all, there is no combat effectiveness, and if you run into an enemy, so it is the best guarantee for me and Nicole to stay." Seeing that Chen Fan wanted to say something, Jack immediately stretched out his hand to interrupt him.
Seeing Jack's resolute look, Chen Fan finally nodded and agreed to his suggestion.
Then everyone discussed, and Chen Fan left some weapons, ammunition and food for Jack and the others, and then left with the others.
Looking at Chen Fan and his party who disappeared into the woods, Jack muttered to himself, "Man, it's up to you next." ”
Then he returned to the cave to take care of the two members of the team.
Chen Fan took his two daughters and the Drake brothers to shuttle through the forest.
At this time, although the two Drake brothers had the joy of meeting again, they were also very worried about this treasure hunt.
After all, the combat power on Leif's side is too strong, and now two members of the team have been injured, and the two don't know what will happen next.
Chen Fan took the lead in the front, although it seemed that he was leading the team, but from his expression, it could be seen that he was actually outside the spirit.
In fact, when he left just now, he had already asked Laura to quietly inject Elise's life energy into Simon and David's bodies, which would greatly speed up the healing of the two, so he wasn't too worried about the comfort of the two.
The reason for his daze was to think about where to find the treasure next, since coming to this island, everyone has lost clues, if it really can't be done, he plans to cheat and use perception search.
But fortunately, the facts did not disappoint him, and Laura, who was following on the side, discovered the situation.
"Look, is it a building over there?"
Looking at Laura, who was making a sound, I saw a look of surprise on her face pointing in one direction.
Looking in the direction that Laura pointed, I saw some covered wooden houses in the dim woods, not far away among the trees full of vegetation.
It may have been left untended for many years, and the house is in a dilapidated state, and it is also overgrown with some weeds and vines, so it is difficult to see clearly.
When a few people approached, they found that there were not only houses around the place, but also some dilapidated houses in many places in the forest.
"Looks like we're getting close to Lebotaria?" Sam's face was excited.
No one answered his words, and everyone's pace quickened in silence.
Along these buildings, a group of people shuttled through the forest, and soon after Chen Fan finally lifted a handful of weeds, a surprising picture was presented in front of everyone.
In the distance, I saw a valley surrounded by mountains, and in the valley, a huge complex of buildings towered in the valley.
Judging from the scale of these buildings, it must have been a prosperous town hundreds of years ago, and the town was full of prosperity.
"Haha, we succeeded, it looks like this is Libotaria, the utopia of the pirates." Looking at the scene in front of him, Sam laughed.
Nate originally wanted to say something to his brother, but saw that Chen Fan had already left with Laura and the two daughters, so he hurriedly followed.
Sam, who was bored, immediately followed.
Chen Fan didn't talk nonsense, in the observation just now, he naturally saw the tallest building standing in this town, and it was also the largest, and he knew with his feet that it was the center of power in this town, similar to the place of the city government, and there were good things that must be there.
During the ensuing journey, although no one spoke, it was easy to see the joy in everyone's hearts from the atmosphere.
But the joy was quickly dissipated.
Because someone has already reached this place before everyone else, and that is Leif and his mercenaries.
These mercenaries really don't have the quality of a regular army, especially in a place where this kind of bird doesn't, which makes them even more unbearable, so when they are relaxed, they can't help but start spitting fragrant in their mouths.
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Fan and his party were the first to discover each other.
The group of people who were hiding in the shadows began to disperse after watching these undisciplined mercenaries.
And these mercenaries had no idea that death was getting closer and closer to them.
For these enemies who hurt their teammates, everyone was not polite in the slightest.
As Chen Fan's instant outburst, the others also began to move their hands separately.
Soon, the team of mercenaries who were not prepared in the slightest were cleaned up by several people.
After dragging the body into the building and hiding it, everyone continued to march towards the city hall in the middle of the town, although the team was silent, but the atmosphere was more solemn.
And Sam, who originally wanted to adjust the atmosphere, couldn't help but close his mouth after taking a look.
The town is very large, and the buildings are scattered around the valley, but the valley itself is not very large, and obviously this is not enough, so there are many houses built on the surrounding hills.
And Leif obviously paid a lot of price for this operation, and from the occasional encounter with mercenaries patrolling the coastline, Leif may have asked Nadien to bring all of her men over.
Along the way, whenever they encountered the mercenaries of Chen Fan and his party, they didn't let go, and all of them were solved by everyone in the dark before the other party shot.
However, the situation soon changed, it may be that too many people died, and after the other party could not be contacted, it was natural to know that these people had been killed, so the enemy that everyone encountered became very cautious, and the other party began to move more troops towards the position where the personnel disappeared.
But that didn't stop the group in the slightest.
In this way, everyone quickly passed through the area and entered a construction area with more ornate buildings.
From this point of view, if the building you saw before was a civilian area, then this is the noble area, and Chen Fan's destination is in the center of the noble district, a castle similar to the city lord's mansion.
As the group entered the area, everyone quickly noticed the difference.
From some clues in the surrounding area, plus some weapons and corpses, it seems that there was a large-scale war here back then.
As they followed, more and more corpses appeared in front of everyone.
Finally, as everyone entered the castle, they found that the scene inside was even more tragic, and countless skeletons fell to the ground in different postures.
Some of their heads were missing, some were pierced through the chest with spears, and more were missing arms and legs, and from these corpses we can see how tragic the war was at the beginning.
Upon entering the castle, there is first a huge garden square, and at the end of the garden square is the gate of the main building of the castle.
In a solemn atmosphere, the group continued to move forward.
Once you enter the gate, you will be presented with a huge hall surrounded by cabinets of things.
"Let's spread out and see if there are any clues." Chen Fan turned his head and said to a few people.
After seeing everyone disperse, he also began to wander around the hall.
Soon everyone gathered again.
"How? Did you find anything? Chen Fan looked at everyone and asked.
"Nothing related to the treasure was found." Momoko was the first to say.
"Indeed, and judging from these corpses, there was a civil war here." Sam continued.
"Could it be that after establishing this place, Avery began to act as a tyrant, and then swallowed all the possessions and used them all to build this prosperous palace, so that the others revolted?" Momoko speculated excitedly when she heard this.
"What do you think?" Chen Fan squinted at Peaches.
"Okay, so where do you say those treasures go?" Momoko suddenly asked whimfully.
"Not really." Suddenly, Laura threw something at Peach.
In a panic, he took what Laura had thrown over, and Peaches looked at it and found that it was a gold coin.
"You mean that Avery minted that gold into his own currency?" Nate said excitedly.
"Yes, and judging from the surrounding cabinets, the treasures were indeed placed here." Laura said with a smile and nodded.
"And where did you say those treasures went?" Sam asked curiously.
"Okay, let me guess, from the battles we saw outside and the battles that took place here, it seems that it is between those so-called civilian pirates and these noble pirates, so we can boldly speculate that those civilian pirates can only find out that their former treasures here were swallowed by the rulers here, so this war happened, and they are reclaiming what originally belonged to them." Chen Fan opened his mouth to speculate.
"How can you be sure?" Momoko asked curiously.
"I see, look, the portraits of the rulers above." Nate suddenly interjected: "The so-called twelve pirate leaders above, I found that each portrait was scrawled with the word thief, I think those civilian pirates were scribbled on it after they captured this place and found that there was no treasure of their own. ”
"So, there is no such thing as tyranny here, only endless greed, and these rulers have swallowed all the treasures alone." Momoko said suddenly.
