Chapter 35: Watchtower Ruins
While chatting with Xia Daiti, the two had already arrived outside the treasure house that their team had opened earlier.
Looking at the people coming and going around the treasure pit, most of them were wearing workers' clothes and were working.
Various building materials, as well as machinery and tools needed for construction are piled up nearby.
Seeing this situation, Alka turned his head and looked at Xia Deti.
Xiadaiti understood Alka's question and replied, "This is THAAD's treasure house, so the government of Mest Island must build a tourist attraction here, which can bring them a lot of tourists."
Hearing this.
Alka couldn't help but complain: "Could it be that you deliberately revealed this treasure trove? You even sold the treasures to the island government at a price higher than the market price."
After seeing the current scene and what Xia Daiti said, Alka immediately thought of this operation.
After all, the information obtained before said that the treasures in the small treasury are generally around 50 gold sails.
"How clever! I didn't expect you to guess it so quickly."
Xia Daiti said with some surprise, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.
"After all, how to exchange treasure for greater value is what the treasure hunting team should do, right?"
As he spoke, he winked at Alka.
"Indeed."
However, Alka changed the subject and asked, "Is there anything special about this place that made you target this place?"
“In some strange rumors about this island, this place is called the Dismemberment Ground.
Legend has it that many years ago, scattered corpses often appeared here. "
Then Xiadaiti came over and whispered in Alka's ear: "Actually, it was one of Thaad's sons who had a habit of killing people and dismembering them. This is where he committed the crime."
As he spoke, he raised his chin and pointed to the construction site below.
“If you are interested in the future, you can go and visit it. Among the treasures inside are Sade’s original manuscripts and the murder weapon.
I just don’t know why he would hide his son’s scandal in the treasure house.”
Very reasonable behavior.
Alka, knowing the truth, raised his eyes slightly.
At this time.
A pair of people in strange clothes suddenly entered the construction site and seemed to be talking to the person in charge of the site.
Then they walked straight into the treasure house.
Alka turned around and saw Xia Daitiwei frowning and staring at the team that had just entered the treasury.
"Do you know them?"
Xia Daiti nodded: "They are the ones who bit the shark. I don't know where they got the news from. They also came to this island recently to look for the treasure."
"competitor?"
"Yes, and they are annoying and have a bad reputation. If you meet one alone, you must be careful and it is best to just run away."
Hearing Xia Daiti's slightly serious words, Alka nodded.
From the looks of it, this treasure hunting group might not be any worse than them.
And it may injure or even kill people.
Alka was careful and memorized the faces of the group of people he had just seen.
"How is it, is there any harvest?"
Xia Daiti asked suddenly.
Alka shook his head without saying anything more, but directly spread out the map he had been carrying in his arms.
Looking at the map, the location of the treasure ruins is written on it.
Compare the white dot with the blue dot again.
The 3 points are randomly distributed and there is no order.
"I'm not familiar with this island. I need to walk around to get to know the situation. Maybe I can find something wrong."
Alka said, then stared at Xiadaiti and said, "But you drew this map very well."
"Really? Thanks for the compliment."
"Anyway, I have nothing to do right now. Do you want me to take you around this island? There aren't many places where treasures might be found."
Hearing this, Alka nodded: "If it's not a problem, of course."
"Let's go, then."
Xiadaiti said with a smile, taking Alka to stroll around some places marked on the map.
The real blue dots are not at the locations they marked, but around them.
Could just be passing by.
Alka just followed and looked around, as if he was really searching.
After passing several places, they marked the locations where treasures might exist.
After listening to Xiadaiti's story, Alka roughly understood it.
The reason why this place was set as a possible location was because they made inferences based on the treasure house that they had found before.
There are certain geographical conditions that make it possible to build a treasure house.
These places are more suitable for building a treasure house in terms of geographical conditions.
Following the road, Alka finally arrived at the blue dot, which was where the real treasure was located.
Look at where the blue dot is.
There is a small hill with lush trees on it.
An abandoned tower stood there.
"Miss Xiadaiti, may I ask what that abandoned tower is?"
Hearing Alka's words, Xiadaiti turned his head and looked in that direction.
"That was a watchtower that was built a long time ago, but it was abandoned after the island joined the Blood Gold Alliance. There are many such watchtowers scattered around the island."
"I see." Alka nodded in understanding.
Then it's obvious.
That tower should be the hint given by Thaad.
Now Alka only needs to investigate the differences between this tower and the surrounding towers, and then work backwards to find the cause.
Get the answer first, then work backwards.
It is indeed much easier.
After all, THAAD built the treasure house intentionally. When spreading the secret of the treasure, it also spread the clue of the location of the treasure house.
And it doesn't necessarily need to be accurate, as long as it makes sense, you can even explain it with possibilities and feelings.
After all, trial and error is certainly common in treasure hunting.
Alka smiled at the thought.
Having achieved his goal, Alka suggested going back after following Xia Daiti on a tour.
As dusk is approaching.
The two returned to the cabin they had been in before.
"You guys are back, how are you doing? Did you get any clues?"
Jason, who was sketching something with a feather pen on the wooden table, looked up at the two people who came in and asked.
Alka shook his head.
Xia Daiti said directly: "We just took him to familiarize himself with the surrounding islands and the places where we think the treasure may be hidden. How can we gain anything?"
"Really? That's a shame."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Alka sat down at the wooden table again.
He began to casually flip through the documents that covered the wooden table.
These are all the information that the treasure hunting team collected on the island, which may be related to the treasure.
And Sade's life experience and preferences .
Maybe I could get some clues.
After thinking for a moment, he asked directly, "Is there any information about those watchtowers?"
"You're still thinking about what you saw earlier."
Xia Daiti said as he rummaged through the documents on the table, then handed him a few copies.
