Chapter 21: The Secret of the Fangs

The dungeon of Black Hawk Town, built behind the hall on the first floor of the Lord's Castle.

Passing through the narrow corridor on the right side of the hall, there is a sturdy secret door behind it, and inside the secret door, there is a small compartment, and the entrance to the dungeon is in this compartment.

Accompanied by Morris, Sean arrives in the cubicle.

Morris twisted the switch to open the secret door of the dungeon, and suddenly, on the flat ground, a two-meter-square dark tunnel entrance appeared.

There are steps in the tunnel, and they go down diagonally.

The two of them lit torches and slowly descended the steep steps into the dungeon.

Inside the dungeon, it was dark and damp, and from time to time rats "squeaked" and screamed past them, and the air inside was filled with a rancid and unpleasant smell.

Obviously, this dungeon has not been used for many years.

Because in a poor and bitter border town like this, there are generally no prisoners worth detaining, and they are either whipped on the spot or directly put on the gallows.

Evil people like witch doctors and heretics would not come to such a bitter cold place.

Except for the capture of some noble lords, or knights, it is usually not necessary to use the dungeon at all.

After all, the territory is full of cowardly serfs, what can they expect to do?

The dungeon is idle, which means that there is no position of warden in the Black Hawk territory.

Less than three meters down, we came to the first basement level of the dungeon, where there were four cells, each of which was not large, and a single room could hold up to four or five people.

Walk through the first floor of the cell and continue down, where there is another cell floor, which is also the last level of the dungeon.

There are only two cells on this floor, and the area is not large, and the two cells together are only more than twenty square meters.

In one of the small cells, Sean used the torch in his hand to clearly see that inside the rusty iron bar, a middle-aged thief with dark hair and deep eyes squatted with shackles on his feet.

The thief was tall, nearly forty years old, and his physical features were that of a southerner from the kingdom of Castle.

The thief was covered in blood and his face was a little pale.

When he saw Sean appear, he didn't beg for mercy, but just stood up slowly, and said in a calm tone, "Are you the lord here?"

Sean nodded, "I am, I heard you want to see me?"

The thief endured the pain on his body, took a deep breath and said, "I know where the treasure of the fanged thieves is hidden. ”

After saying this, he crouched down and kept silent.

Sean stared at him expressionlessly, sneering secretly in his heart.

This guy is very smart, and as soon as he comes up, he reveals such important information, showing his importance, and at the same time secretly reminding himself not to hurt him, otherwise once he dies, no one will know the whereabouts of the treasure.

Sean said lightly: "How do I know if what you said is true or false?"

The thief said casually without raising his head: "The Fanged Thieves Regiment has been established for nearly thirty years, and the Fangs father and son have served as two leaders, and the wealth accumulated by the Fangs over the years is only afraid that it will be beyond your imagination, whether this matter is true or false, I think you know better than me." ”

Sean said: "In that case, why did you save him when his fangs were seriously injured last night? Wouldn't it be better to escape alone to steal the treasure? That would not easily fall into my hands!"

The thief was silent for a moment, "I know where the treasure is, and only Fangs know the key way to open the treasure, so my main purpose in saving him is to use means to force out the method of opening the treasure, and I didn't think ......"

"I didn't expect Fangs to be suspicious of you for a long time, and another accomplice was also secretly guarding against you, right?"

The thief was silent, apparently acquiescing to Sean's guess.

When Sean saw him silent, he knew that what the other party said would not be false.

Because whether it is a pirate or a bandof thieves who roam the border, their leaders have a secret tradition of hiding their wealth.

Because most pirates or thieves, when they accumulate a certain amount of wealth, they will change their appearance and go to a distant place called "Hyena Island", buy land and titles with a lot of money, and then live happily and happily.

If you're lucky, you might even be able to become one of the core rulers of that kingdom.

No one knows how much wealth the fanged leader and his father have secretly hidden, but it is certain that the treasure of the fangs must be very large, so huge that the thief in front of him is very coveted.

If he really gets the treasure of the fangs, then Sean can go to the Ten Thousand Worlds Weapons Mall, buy all kinds of weapons, buy a large number of serfs, and also hire a large number of knights, mercenaries and craftsmen.

At that time, the Black Hawk Territory will be able to grow rapidly, and when it grows to a certain extent, it can take the opportunity to expand its territory, and then annex nearby territories and become a real Great Lord.

Thinking of this, Sean was secretly moved.

The thieves in the cell, he knew Sean was tempted.

Like the treasure of the Fanged Thieves, as long as it is a lord and nobleman who is a little ambitious, there is no reason not to be tempted.

"What are your conditions?"

Sean said lightly: "Obviously, your purpose is not only to live, but also to want other things, right?"

The thief looked at him appreciatively, "Your Excellency is right, not only do I want to live, but I also want to take one thing and leave safely." ”

Sean stared at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "Sure enough, you are not a simple thief, if I guess correctly, the main purpose of you joining the thief group is for the treasure of Fang, right?"

The thief was stunned for a moment, he never thought that his identity as a professional treasure thief would also be guessed by him, and he didn't hide it immediately, "You guessed right, I'm a treasure thief!"

Sean said lightly: "As a professional treasure thief, you should be proficient in mapping. ”

The thief seemed to know that he would ask this, shook his head, and said: "Treasure thieves are not so stupid, once I draw a map, when you get the treasure back, will I still be alive? Besides, if I draw a fake map for you, it will be a dead end! If you want to get the treasure, I can lead the way within your control, and after finding the treasure, we will take what we need and leave! You can rest assured, what I want is not gold or silver treasure, and there is no conflict with you!"

Outside the cell, Sean's eyes twinkled, and he wondered if he would use torture to extract a confession, and force him to draw a map of the fangs' hidden treasures.

While he was thinking about it, the thief in the cell suddenly spoke again: "I know what you are thinking, if you want to torture me to draw a map, then you are too underestimate the professional treasure thief, I have a hundred ways to make myself die instantly, and when the time comes, once I die, you will not get anything." ”

Sean shook his head and said, "I don't believe you have the courage to commit suicide, otherwise, you would have died a long time ago and would not have waited for me to come." ”

At this time, the thief suddenly laughed, "We treasure thieves cherish life very much, but once you force us to confess, don't we have to die? ”

"That's true," Sean nodded approvingly, "now I kind of admire you professional treasure thieves." ”

"My lord, what do you think?"

The thief obviously didn't want to stay in this dungeon for too long, and his tone was a little hurried, "Two choices, either I'll take you to find the treasure, and then we'll all get what we want." Or do you kill me senselessly and get nothing?"

Sean shook his finger and said calmly: "I have to think about it first, whether this risk is worth taking, you can stay here for the time being." ”

After saying that, he ignored the thief's reaction and left the dungeon directly with Morris.

Along the way, Sean said to himself, "What are you kidding, now that you are being imprisoned in the dungeon, you are in a hurry." Now Lao Tzu doesn't have powerful subordinates around him, and there are many dangers and dangers in the dark forest, so he just follows you to hunt for treasure, wouldn't he be sent to death?

The treasure of the fangs is fascinating, but nothing is more important than one's own life.

The treasure thing, wait for a while, and you can't run anyway.

Wait until you retake the mine in a few days, design to capture the Baron of Greystone, and get a ransom from him.

Wait until you have enough money, then go to the mall to buy a few submachine guns or AK47s, and train a special operations force, so that you can have the confidence to go to the dark forest to find treasure.
