Chapter 6 The Real Treasure
"Mother……"
The gentle female figure lingers in my mind.
Help yourself dress and feed yourself.
Gentle reprimand, concern when sick, and easy-to-understand education.
There is also the sadness of leaving suddenly.
Alka took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
When the two memories are put together, there are so many similarities.
For some reason, the fear in my heart disappeared, and the corpses under my feet were no longer scary.
Suddenly thought of something.
Alka quickly took the bag not far away, put the short and thick machete on his waist, and put the flint in his pocket.
He picked up the bones at his feet and gently put them into the cloth bag one by one.
They are carefully stacked and piled, and the dust, tree roots and rotten leaves on top are occasionally scraped away.
Some spots of moisture appeared on the dry cloth bag.
Looking at the gradual wetness, Alka did not care. It was just that his body was affected by the memory.
As the corpse was being stored there, Alka became more certain that the wound was on the back.
Some pieces of clothing wrapped around the corpse had not completely decayed, and some colors and textures could still be vaguely seen.
It matches what I remember.
The corpse was completely put into the cloth bag, which was bulging. It was carefully sealed and placed next to the stone wall.
Picking up the torch beside him, Alka continued to go deeper inside.
He has not forgotten the real purpose of his coming here.
It's just a few steps, it can't be called deep.
At the innermost part of the cave, you can see box after box of wooden treasure chests being opened.
The room was already empty, with some silver coins scattered around.
"Sure enough, someone has already got there first ."
Alka was not surprised by this scene. His mother died here, most likely because she was attacked .
This already shows that someone has arrived here, and the corresponding treasure cannot possibly remain.
But it was obvious that the people who came here were in a hurry and did not search all the treasures very thoroughly.
The silver coins remaining on the ground and the two boxes inside were still flashing with golden light.
They all represent treasure, at least there is still a little soup base left.
Alka immediately started collecting them.
One gold sail, one gold leaf, and six silver snakes.
In addition to this most intuitive currency, there are also two red gems about the size of fingernails.
This is what's left of the first batch of people.
The Gold Sail is a gold coin about half the size of a palm, with a sailing ship engraved on it and a cross on the back.
Alka had never touched the real thing, not even in his memory, and he had never even seen it, but had only heard of its description.
I heard that only big businessmen would use such currency when making settlements.
One gold sail is worth about 25 silver snakes, and this exchange method is said to have almost no fluctuations.
There is also a gold leaf, which is a little smaller than the gold sail and much thinner.
It really is like a leaf.
Alka had seen this kind of golden leaf before, and their family once had it.
As an intermediate currency between Gold Sail and Silver Snake, the approximate conversion method is.
1 gold sail = 5 gold leaves = 25 silver snakes.
In other words, this trip yielded 36 silver snakes.
This can definitely be called a fortune, and at this moment Alka can really say that he has made a fortune.
An ordinary family definitely cannot afford so much wealth.
Well... Aunt Marcy's family might be able to afford it.
Alka suddenly thought of something and froze.
He quickly took out the manual from the inner pocket of his clothes.
Turn to the map page.
"That's what I said. The scene affected my emotions and caused my thoughts to go haywire."
At this time, the blue light spot where he was on the map did not disappear or dim.
"If I had obtained the treasure, the light would have dimmed, and different information would have appeared when I clicked on it, but there is none at all now, which means the treasure is still there."
Alka couldn't help but think about it, even though he didn't know the difference between the blue and white spots of light.
But according to normal thinking, blue must be stronger than white. At first, he thought that 36 silver snakes plus 2 small gems could be considered a blue treasure.
Now it seems that it may not be.
Perhaps even the first group of people who came here to look for treasure did not find the real treasure.
"We are already at the bottom of the cave. If there is anything else that can be hidden besides these boxes, it must be a secret compartment."
Alka couldn't help but hold up the torch and approach the stone wall to examine it carefully.
Turn the shovel in your hand upside down and gently slide and tap with the handle.
First, start the inspection at the chest area of a normal adult.
While walking, he would stamp his feet gently to check if there was a space under his feet.
I checked all the way to the bottom of the stone wall in the center of the cave. As I knocked, a crisp sound came from this head-sized area.
If you look carefully here, you can also find a small rectangular logo on it.
Perhaps because of the passage of time, it seems very vague and inconspicuous.
It is completely invisible unless you look closely.
This is exactly the emblem of Jack's treasure hunting team.
A plum blossom mark.
“This is it.”
Alka's voice sounded a little excited, and he picked up the shovel and hit it hard.
After two heavy knocks, several cracks appeared, and then two pieces of mud fell off.
Revealing the darkness inside.
He struck it hard a few more times, completely revealing the secret compartment inside.
A faint outline of a square box appeared in Alka's eyes.
His expression was already excited.
"The last time we dug up a bag of gold coins, there was also a faint glow like this to highlight it, indicating that this thing is the treasure."
While thinking, he moved the torch closer.
This is a rectangular iron box with extremely rough patterns on it. There is a card engraved on the front with a tall top hat on it.
Represents who his master is.
After making sure that everything was alright, A-Ka reached out and took the box out.
“It’s so heavy!”
This iron box has an astonishing weight. It doesn't feel like a hollow heavy box at all, but rather a solid piece of iron.
Pulled it out heavily.
It must weigh at least fifty or sixty kilograms. It's not a box at all, it's definitely a solid piece of iron.
Because there is no gap on it at all, it is just a piece of specially forged iron with patterns carved on it.
But the outline just now has clearly told Alka that this is the treasure.
It is more valuable than the 36 silver snakes and two rubies combined.
But you can't tell anything from the appearance.
Just as Alka was about to open the map to check the harvest.
"Little Alka! Alka where are you?"
"Arka~"
“…”
