Chapter 0189 - Hidden Heart Disease (Fifth Update)
"Squeak!" When the six-eyed demon scorpion heard this, it immediately raised its head and vomited, and a large piece of corrosive solution suddenly melted the mountain wall, but it was too thick here, and the six-eyed demon scorpion was busy for five minutes, and then the mountain wall was completely opened!
Behind the pitch-black stone wall, there is a small stone room of more than ten square meters, Guan Heng and Xia Ni took the golden thief rat and the blue chimpanzee, and when they walked in, the scene here was immediately clear at a glance!
In the corner on the left, there is a skeleton wearing a cloak, it seems that it died very suddenly, this skeleton is half-kneeling in the corner, holding the stone wall with one hand, and covering the position of the heart with the other hand, looking at the degree of weathering of the skeleton, let alone decades!
But this is not the only skeleton, because the other one fell not far from it, this skeleton was also wearing a cloak, and a thick wooden cane fell beside it, and it seems that this person had some inconvenient legs and feet before his death!
When Xia Ni saw the cloaks worn by these two skeletons, she immediately said, "These cloaks are the special clothing of our Thieves Guild, so they must be my seniors!" ”
Guan Heng walked to the skeleton in the corner and reached out to lift the hem of the cloak: "I remember you said that this position of the guild cloak is usually embroidered with your own name!" ”
"And voila! It says 'Kofi'! Guan Heng said in a low voice: "It seems that this person is the fourth brother of the Kent brothers!" ”
"I've found something here, too!" Shani lifted the cloak of the other skeleton and continued, "It says 'Fransen'......"
"This is the eldest brother of the famous thief Kent brothers, Fransen!" Xia Ni stood up, bowed respectfully to the skeleton, and then said to Guan Heng, "I finally found them, but why did these two people die in the same stone room?" ”
"I don't think they died in the stone chamber at the same time!" Guan Heng shook his head lightly and said, "There should be one who comes first, and the one who dies first must be Coffey. Kent, whose bones, cloak, and other clothing are weathered, is obviously older than Mr. Franson's! ”
"That's right!" Xia Ni bowed her head and was silent, and at this time, the two golden thieves were lying around Fransen's bones, whispering and wailing, as if they were extremely saddened by the death of their old master!
"Alas! I just don't know what the cause of death these two people is! Xia Ni thought about it for a long time, but she didn't figure out why, and she couldn't help but have a headache at this time.
"Hmm...... Wait a minute! Guan Heng suddenly glanced at the skeleton of Kofei who was half-kneeling in the corner: "Supporting the stone wall with one hand and covering his heart with the other, this dying posture seems to be ......"
"Shani!" Guan Heng turned to the female thief and said, "Hurry up and take out the manuscript of Mr. Fransen's notebook and show it to me, I seem to have guessed the reason for the death of these two people!" ”
"Boom la la ......" Guan Heng took the notebook handed by Xia Ni and quickly flipped it over, and after more than ten seconds, Guan Heng suddenly shouted: "Found it, this is it, Fransen mentioned in the notes that his second brother Raun and third brother Galfa both died of family inherited heart diseases!" ”
"I see!" Xia Ni suddenly realized: "You mean to say that the two brothers also died suddenly in this stone room because of a hidden disease!" ”
"Well, I think the situation at that time should be like this......" Guan Heng carefully analyzed: "At that time, the fourth brother Coffey landed on this island for some reason to adventure, and finally came to this stone chamber to investigate, accidentally caused old troubles, so he died here!" ”
"Then after a long time, his brother Mr. Franson came here again, and when he saw his brother's bones, he was very emotional, and because of his old age, he also died of a hidden heart disease!"
Guan Heng had just said this, and the golden thief mouse Chubby suddenly noticed something, it hurriedly got up, ran to the side of Fransen's bones, and laboriously took out something from it!
"Squeak!" Chubby patted what he found with his paws, attracting the attention of Guan Heng and Xia Ni.
Guan Heng stepped forward to pick it up and took a look, but it was a thing wrapped in moisture-proof oiled paper, "Whew! I opened it and found a parchment book inside!
Guan Heng and Xia Ni looked through it and realized that this parchment book was a map of the road drawn by Fransen when he was looking for his brother all the way in the grotto!
On the last pages of the hand-drawn atlas, Fransen wrote: "I have finally found Coffey, and although he is gone, I can see my missing brother in his twilight years, even if he dies, without regrets, this moment...... My heart aches faintly, it seems that the hidden disease inherited in my family has brought me to the end of my life......"
"The Kent family has been a member of the Thieves' Guild for generations, and our ancestors once followed the first president, Mr. Ruta, a demigod thief, and made a lot of contributions to the guild, but unfortunately our four brothers have no heirs, and no one inherits their skills!"
"Our fourth brother Kofei has the best talent and the strongest skills, but unfortunately he is unruly and does not like to be restrained and restricted, so he refuses to join the Thieves' Guild and chooses to live a life wandering around on the continent of Ashton, although this is against the ancestral teachings, but he has obtained a precious freedom that our other three brothers have not had!"
"So in a way, Coffey has lived a different life for us, his courage and spirit of advocating freedom make us admire, I, Fransen, as the eldest brother of the Kent family, am proud to have such a good brother!"
"I have left my research on theft and trap locks behind the secret door in the thatched hut where I once lived, hoping that the Codex of Notes will be discovered by the right people, so that our Kent family's contribution to the Thieves' Guild can continue......"
"If someone can find the bones of me and my fourth brother Coffey, please bury us...... I take the treasure of the Kent family for generations, black iron...... Gift ......"
"At the end of the hand-drawn atlas, the handwriting is really blurred, it seems that Fransen's hidden disease was on the verge of attack at that time, and he could not hold on anymore!" Guan Heng said to Xia Ni: "That's why he hurriedly wrapped the atlas to avoid being weathered or bitten by insects, these words should be his last words!" ”
"Well, the last few sentences are too vague, so I don't know what Mr. Franson is talking about!"
Speaking of this, Xia Ni glanced at the blue chimpanzee standing beside her, and she grinned: "But we are not coveting any treasures, since we have found this place after some searching, I have taken his theft notes, and it is also appropriate to bury them!" ”
"Orangutan, dig a pit here!" Xia Ni smiled and said, "Because I don't have the strength!" ”
