Chapter 104: What a boldness
Although it was only a short day and a half, the things that everyone experienced were not simple at all, and when they were in the ruins, they didn't feel anything because they were in a nervous mood, but now once they relaxed, it seemed that the strength in their bodies was drained all of a sudden, and they lazily lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

Alan didn't have this situation because of the divine power in his body to help him adjust, and among the others, Rooney still maintained a high level of vigilance.
At dinner, Yulong gave out the signal, and Matthew also agreed with the foreman to settle the wages with all the workers tomorrow and let them leave here, but Alan obviously saw that many people did not show joy when they heard this, but looked a little secretive.
It was this that noticed this, so Alan did not return to the tent after dinner and rested immediately, but kept lying in bed and pretending to sleep, waiting for the night to pass.
The whole camp has been quiet, only the campfire between the tents still crackles from time to time, but the light of the campfire is not very bright after all, and the presence of many wooden shelves nearby makes it seem a little eerie.
On this night that should have been resting, in addition to Allen, many people did not enter the dream realm, but gathered in a tent to discuss something.
"If you want to do it, take advantage of it, what are you still hesitating about!"
"But at night, they don't know what to launch into the sky, and I'm afraid ......."
"What's there to be afraid of, let's do it tonight, and then leave the ...... directly"
There was a lot of argument in the tent, and it was the foreman who sat in the middle, who looked around for a moment, and then coughed, which silenced everyone, and it was obvious that this man still had some prestige.
"I've tried it tonight, and he'll give each of us a gold coin at most. ”
That's right, one gold coin per person is the new price given by Matthew at dinner, to be honest, this price can be said to be much more than the market price, which is also Matthew was afraid that something would happen in the end, so he took the initiative to raise the price, but unfortunately, there is a kind of person who can never be fed.
"What! just a gold coin!"
"It's so unbelievable!"
If Matthew had given each of them a gold coin when he first arrived, they would have left the place that scared them a little happily, but many of them were dazzled today.
"That's right!" the foreman clenched his fist and slammed the ground with one hand, "Look at what they brought out, what is it! It's all gold, if it weren't for us, how could they have entered this ruin, how could they have brought out this gold!
"That's right...... That's right!"
The foreman's unreasonable words caused a chorus of approval, and the foreman glanced at everyone's performance and nodded with satisfaction.
"Since they don't give it, then we'll take it ourselves! Don't be afraid, even if they send out the signal, the reinforcements won't come so soon, we just act tonight, and when we're done, we will go home and enjoy a good life!"
At this time, however, objections were raised.
"Head, but why kill them, why don't we just take the gold away?"
The person who spoke seemed to be thinner and probably less courageous, and had been very uneasy since he knew that his plan was to kill, and finally mustered up the courage to say something.
"Hmph!" the foreman glared at the man, and then slapped him on the head, "Are you stupid? That Matthew even knows which village we are, and let him go, you want to be caught and hanged!"
Many of the workers here are just ordinary villagers, although they are very greedy for the gold, but killing people is still a distant thing for them, there was still a lot of blood, and now when I heard this person, my heart also muttered, although the boss gave an explanation, but they were still not very relieved.
"But, sir, even if we kill someone, there is no guarantee that we will not be found. ”
Everyone knows that people who come to engage in archaeological excavation expeditions and the like must have quite a status, and if they all die here suddenly, it will definitely cause an investigation by the Shenlong Empire, and it is not a secret that Matthew hired them, which can be easily found out, and then there will be big trouble.
The foreman was very angry in his heart, and the atmosphere was broken at once by the question of such a timid fellow, but at this moment he could not do anything to this man, so he had to continue to explain to everyone:
"You guys are so stupid, what are you doing here when you get the gold! Of course, they have run away to other countries before they have found us! With this money, we can live anywhere!"
The foreman looked at everyone's expressions again, and saw that everyone's previous worries had gradually begun to fade, so he added another fire.
"Think about it! With all this gold, there is nothing to be gained, good wine, women ......."
There is no need to go on, these workers have let go of all the worries in their hearts, and have even begun to think about how to live such a thing in the future.
"Everyone take the guys and set off, be quiet, don't make too much noise!"
"Okay!"
If Alan saw this scene, he would definitely laugh out loud, these workers who were just ordinary villagers did not have any decent weapons, and most of them had only shovels and pickaxes in their hands, and many people walked directly towards the six tents gathered together with wooden sticks.
Even a well-trained punisher like Rodney had to be careful not to make Allen aware of his movements, let alone these ordinary people who didn't know how to stealth at all, so even though they had tried not to make any noise, Allen had already noticed their movements.
"I didn't expect these people to be so bold. ”
Alan shook his head and said to himself, these people came to his side in the middle of the night, naturally they would not be looking for someone to talk to, but Alan didn't expect that after Matthew proposed such a high salary, these workers would still do such a thing.
Just about to do something, Alan suddenly noticed a figure appear behind his tent, and his heart was suddenly startled, but then he put it down, this figure knew at a glance that it was Rooney, and it seemed that he was also awakened.
"Your Highness, you ......"
"Well, I'm awake, you can hide for now, just leave it to me. ”
"This ...... All right. ”
Although he hesitated slightly, Rooney still listened to Alan's orders, and he didn't think that these rabble could do any harm to Alan.
Ai Xin straightened out the clothes on his body, didn't even take a weapon, and walked out of the tent directly.
