Chapter 45: Questions
readx; Eva and Peter stood in the doorway, hesitating to know whether to walk in or not, and now they were in a dilemma. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć If you don't go in, you might be discovered by the soldiers outside, but if the two of them enter the secret passage, there is a good chance that they will run into the middle-aged man who just came in.
In the end, Peter gritted his teeth and said to Eva fiercely: "If you are here, you can't go home empty-handed, let's find out what mechanism should be in this house." Without waiting for Eva to react, she walked to the wall.
The corners of Eva's mouth rose slightly as she watched Peter look for the mechanism by the wall, and she went to the other side to look for it.
However, the two of them found nothing on the wall. Peter frowned and kept muttering, "No, how could it not be." He looked at the room in bewilderment, but there was nothing to observe.
This room was identical to the one at Pudge's Gathering Point, with nothing in the room except for the four walls.
Eva looked at Peter and looked very confused and had to comfort him, "Let's try again, maybe there are some things we missed." Don't worry, since Urgart has said that there is an underground treasure house here, then it will definitely not be wrong, we just need to be patient and search. Don't worry if you have time. After saying that, she also patted Peter on the shoulder, Peter looked at the relaxed Eva in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed, he nodded at her and continued to search.
Peter groped around the wall this time, sparing every inch of space, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to find a brick on the wall that was different from other diseases.
"Hey, I think I've found it, Eva, come and see. With that, he waved at Eva. Eva walked over curiously, reached out and touched it, then nodded at Peter and said, "This should be it, let's try to see how to trigger this mechanism." Peter himself was careful not to get hurt. ā
After saying that, she pushed it hard but the brick didn't move, she exhaled and tried to pinch the brick with her fingers and pull it out, this is a difficult action Eva is a little difficult to do, but fortunately the mechanism finally reacted.
A rumbling sound echoed through the room, and Peter and Eva were startled. They listened warily to any suspicious voices, lest the rumbling of the mechanism draw the guards in.
Thankfully, the guards probably didn't hear anything, and no one approached until the mechanism was fully activated.
Peter and Eva let out a sigh of relief, and then cautiously descended the staircase. Peter took a torch from his backpack and lit it, and walked in the front, the dim light only illuminating a small area. The entire passage was very quiet, and even though the two of them had walked very carefully, their footsteps could still be heard clearly.
Peter finally came down the stairs and looked around, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as the secret passage from Pudge's. In front of it is a narrow, dark corridor, and the walls on both sides are densely packed with arrow holes and marks of being slashed with knives and axes, all of which speak to what has happened here.
"Peter, how do we get into that treasure house that is heavily guarded by a metal door?" Eva asked Peter as she walked up to Peter.
Peter was a little dumbfounded when he heard her ask, and he remembered that even if they were to lurk here, there would still be nothing they could do about the door, because the key must have been in the hands of Father Cwer and Fernandez. So now the two of them can only walk to the door.
"I suppose Urgarte is talking about the Treasury with information about Neto?" Peter asked Eva uncertainly. Eva frowned, thought carefully for a long time, and nodded uncertaintyly.
"Forget it, let's go ahead first, maybe we don't need to enter the treasure house. Peter sighed heavily and said something he didn't believe himself.
Eva pursed her lips and didn't say anything, just followed Peter down the secret passage. After walking for a short time, Peter suddenly stopped, and he looked at the skeleton lying on the ground not far in front of him with a wary expression, not knowing what to think.
Eva poked her head out from behind him and saw the skeleton at a glance, her mouth open in surprise but no sound came out.
Peter stared at the skeleton carefully for a long time before slowly approaching it cautiously. When the two of them came to the skeleton, they found that the skeleton's remains were relatively intact. It can be seen by some of the bone structure that it is a male. Next to the skeleton was a pair of decaying armor and weapons, which Peter kicked and kicked, and as he expected, the weapons were all reduced to a pile of dust.
There was only one male skeleton in this secret passage, and there was no way for the two of them to get more information.
"Isn't this skeleton the Neto we're looking for?" asked Peter uncertainly. After asking, she also crouched down curiously in the light of the torch, and flicked the skeleton with her hand.
"Probably not," Peter replied with uncertainty. You see, the information we got from Urgart is that Neto is a builder, and that such a person should not need to be fully armed to run into the treasure house he has built. After saying that, he nodded his head with such an expression.
"And where did this skeleton come from? Although we have seen these arrowholes and axe slashes in Pudge, there are no skeletons. This means that the church at least cleans the passages regularly, but now there is a skeleton here. We all know that it takes a long time for a corpse to become like this, Peter. Eva disagreed with Peter's words, pointing out some inconsistencies.
Peter just tilted his head at Eva and said, "It's very simple, the Redemption House we learned from Urgart hasn't sent monks to the gathering point for more than ten years, so no one has been here for at least ten years. He shrugged his shoulders.
Eva rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Do you know who he really is, do you know when he came in, do you know why he came back here?"
Peter was dumbfounded, he was completely unable to answer these questions. He didn't know who this skeleton was, when it entered here, where it came from, and why it died here.
