Chapter 34: Bones of the Camp
Tex waved his hand mysteriously and said nothing, but Jack could vaguely feel that he had discovered a very amazing secret.
Jack hugged little Zari and slowly leaned over. To be honest, he is still very nervous in his heart, this small black hole and small room, no one may have come in for more than ten years, in case there is a box with human bones hidden in it, it will not scare people to death!
He finally leaned his face in.
"See clearly?" asked Tex.
By the light, Jack's eyes widened, holding his breath, and his gaze moved to the inside of the box.
"A sword?" There was nothing scary in the box, just a glowing sword.
Jack didn't think it was any strange, he let out a "hey" and put down his hanging heart. I thought there would be some "good things" inside, but it turned out to be just a sword.
"Didn't you notice something was wrong?" Turks frowned and turned his head to look at Jack, "Look again, think about it." ”
Jack would have to take a good look at it, but he didn't believe that the sword would turn into a pickled salted fish with one more look.
To be sure, this is an ordinary sword: long and short-handled, glowing warm in the firelight.
Seeing that Jack hadn't noticed anything wrong, Turks shook his head and said, "No, think about it, why is there a sword in a box where food is stored?"
Jack was asked, but after only a moment, he found the reason and answered: "It's very simple, there is no place to put the sword, and it is easy to rust if you put it elsewhere." ”
Turks was a little anxious, and he retorted: "I tell you, in the Missies, a soldier can throw away his life, he can throw away his armor, but the sword is in the man, and the man is dead. No one would casually leave their sword in a storage compartment. ”
"Well, maybe that's what if it's a dead soldier's sword? You see, weren't there a lot of people who died ten years ago, and it must have been the sword they lost. Jack responded. He never understood why Turks was so suspicious, wasn't he usually quite stupid, why did he love to think so much now?
"The veteran said, yes, there have been monsters that have attacked and killed a lot of people. Then I ask you, since many people have died, why is there only one sword, and this sword does not belong to the Missus country. Do you see the words on the sword?", said Turks as he carefully took the sword out of the box and pointed to the engraved letters on it to Jack.
Jack leaned over and took a look, and indeed, the text engraved on the sword was not Mero script, but a symbolic thing that looked like a drawn line, which was obviously not owned by the Misser soldiers.
After thinking about it for a long time, Jack couldn't help but be suspicious: "So, this sword is really strange. ”
Turks nodded and said, "Well, besides, I found one more thing. ”
"What's the matter," Jack asked.
Turks looked at the box where the sword was placed and said, "The boxes here are all sealed, and they were all opened by me, but only this box where the sword is placed is closed and not locked. ”
Things have added a layer of fog, and the two of them, who were simply looking for some food, accidentally found a sword that stayed in a place where they shouldn't be.
The two examined the other chests and found no of the same, confirming that there was only one sword here.
Out of the stone house, Jack and the others came to Coren again. The soldiers were busy cleaning up the place, the efficiency of the soldiers was really high, it took less than half an hour for the cave to be cleaned and cleaned up as if it had just been built, everything was put in its proper place, and all the broken wooden things were packed up and piled up in a low-lying place in the cave.
"Your Majesty," Coren was looking at the good sight before him, when a soldier hurried over.
"What's the matter?" said Cologne, urging the soldiers.
"We found a blocked passage in the cave, do you dig it?" replied the soldier.
"Passages?" Jack and Turks looked at each other and wondered, "There are only three passages, how can there be one?"
"Yes, why didn't I think of it, in addition to the hall, there should be a living area, a storage room, an arsenal, and finally an emergency escape area!" Tex patted his head, only to remember the layout that should be, he had just entered the cave, because of various factors in the room, he didn't have time to think about the layout, and now, after the soldier said it, he remembered.
"Go now!" Coren ordered the soldiers to open the inconspicuous spot in the right corner of the cave.
Jack and Tex followed, Jack was completely curious, and Tex really wanted to understand why the soldiers blocked the escape route, didn't they trap themselves to death?
Sure enough, in the corner of the wall, where it was covered by a pile of debris, there was a small hole that was piled up with rocks and could only accommodate one person. The entrance to the cave was stuffed with stones.
Just when the last layer of stones was pushed away by the soldiers led by them, a terrifying scene happened!
"Ahh
"How is that possible!?"
"How could this be!?"
Jack was also speechless in surprise!
The small passage in front of him was secretly stuffed with corpses that had dried up into skeletons! And judging from the fragments of clothes and rusty weapons and equipment, the owners of these corpses were soldiers of the Missus Nation!
The crowd was suddenly in a state of chaos, and they couldn't believe that there was a corpse of a Missilean soldier here!
Restraining his sadness and horror, Coren ordered the soldiers to carefully remove the bones.
"Father, why are these soldiers dying here!?" Turks, undaunted by the corpse that had long since turned into white bones, stepped forward and asked Coren.
Actually, Coren can't tell, and he certainly doesn't know.
The soldiers quietly carried the bones of these seniors, laid them one by one, and piled up the swords that they had held in their hands but were now messy on the ground by the wall.
Every time the bones were brought out, Coren's face became more sorrowful.
Jack really admires this king very much, in other words, in Garland, the leader of Garland should not feel sorry for the lives of his subordinates, when it comes to the critical time, it is still betrayal, and even some residents who lost their lives because they went out to sea to round up sharks, the leader will not take the initiative to arrange a decent funeral for them.
When the last skeleton was carried out, Turks and Coren, who were standing aside, opened their frightened eyes at the same time, looked at these "soldiers" on the ground, and shouted a sentence in unison:
"Four, ten, seven!"
