Chapter 93: Treasures in the Ruins
Alka flipped open the map and looked at their current location.
According to the landing location and the distribution of some landmarks on the island, there are two white dots on the ruins where they are now.
Alka clicks to check it out.
【Ordinary treasure】
[Difficulty: Brave Warrior]
【Popularity: 0】
[Treasure Information: None]
The two white dots have exactly the same information, and even the distance between them is so short that they are almost touching.
"Bang!"
Another dull gunshot.
Alka didn't even wait for the skeleton lying on the rubble in front of him to stand up, and shot him directly in the head, shattering it.
"You should let him stand up and move around. It's not easy for him to lie down for so long."
Listening to Jason's teasing words, Alka rolled his eyes: "Okay, I'll save it for you next time."
Hearing this, Jason quickly waved his hands and forced a smile, "No, that's not necessary."
Using his legs to push aside the weeds that had reached his waist, Alka controlled the reflection of the mirror to illuminate the building, which had collapsed by half.
However, these plants in the ruins still affect the light exposure.
The inside was also surrounded by plants, and the furniture that once existed had long since rotted and fallen to the ground.
In the darkness, a strong smell of rotting wood permeated the place.
Only a few traces are left in the entire building, recording its own story.
"There are books here ." Gami said, controlling his tentacles to flip through the books on the rotten wooden table in front of him.
However, before he could turn it over, it was crushed into pieces. Seeing this, he could only say helplessly: "It's completely rotten."
"Why are all the drawers in the cabinets here open?" Jason asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Alka turned around, thought for a moment and said, "We are not the first group of people to go to the island. Since we even have a map, it means that someone must have been to this island before."
In this case, it is normal for these cabinet drawers to be rummaged through.
“That’s true.”
At this time, Alka couldn't help but think.
According to this logic, the treasures hidden in these white spots should be in places that are not easy to find.
Wealth that is easy to find and easy to harvest should have been taken away by others long ago.
Thinking of this, Alka couldn't help but carefully observe the collapsed building, wondering where the valuables would be placed.
Hidden holes and gaps in the walls.
It was the only way to hide things in a place like this.
After all, these people's deaths were entirely accidental, and there was no intentional hiding of anything.
These treasures are most likely the wealth that the residents here at that time usually hid in their homes.
Where do normal families usually hide their wealth?
Thinking of this, Alka stepped on the sparsely planted areas of the floor.
I want to check if there are any potholes, and also take a look at the walls and buildings that have not collapsed to see if there are any strange things.
Judging from the size of the building, it's just average, it wouldn't belong to a very wealthy family.
After walking around for a while, Alka came to the bookshelf that was about to collapse completely and overturned it.
With just a slight push, the shelf collapsed, and dust flew everywhere.
"What's wrong?"
The two people who were checking in other rooms quickly came over and asked.
Alka shook his head. "Nothing. It's just that the bookshelf collapsed."
After clearing away the smoke and dust, Alka used a mirror to reflect the light.
Sure enough, a dent appeared on the wall, and a lot of weeds had even grown in the dent, filling up half of it.
A rectangular object was wrapped in something and was already covered with dust and plant roots.
Weeds cover it up.
However, the white light outline on the outside is so conspicuous through the gaps between the weeds.
He reached out and picked it up, the white light disappeared, and he used force to tear the thing wrapped around it apart.
The heavy object inside was revealed. It was a long piece of metal the size of a palm, covered in dirt.
Rub it hard with your thumb to reveal a golden color.
"A whole piece of gold?"
Jason walked over and looked at what Alka was holding, his face full of confusion.
What the hell?
It was a bit unacceptable to just pick up a whole piece of gold casually.
Jamie looked at the collapsed bookshelf, then looked up at Alka and said, "You are really perceptive. You are indeed a professional treasure hunter."
Jason next to him opened his mouth when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again.
He wanted to say that Alka had just joined the industry, but then he thought of Alka's achievements after joining.
Much better than anyone in his profession.
It feels like I'm bringing shame upon myself when I say it out loud.
"It's a small gain, not bad."
Alka said with a smile, and then a metal card appeared in his hand. A faint magic power attached to it, cutting a small half of the gold bar.
Then he broke it into small pieces and handed them to the two men.
Seeing their strange expressions, Alka winked at them and said with a smile, "Anyone who sees it gets a share, right?"
"Thanks."
The two men thanked him and put the small gold nugget in their pockets without any hesitation.
After exploring the room some more and making sure there was nothing valuable or information there, he left.
They dispersed and started searching within the ruins.
After all, these ruins are the ruins of a town, and it would be too inefficient for three people to gather together.
See if there is anything left over or information that may be helpful for their next steps.
Taking this opportunity, Alka came to another white spot.
Looking at the completely collapsed ruins around, covered with weeds, soil and various rubble, it is impossible to tell where the white spot is hidden underneath.
Alka couldn't help scratching his head.
"never mind."
Give up decisively and turn away.
This is not an absolutely safe place, so there is no need to go to great lengths to dig and search for a white spot.
There is such a large area of ruins, and we still don’t know the exact location of the white spots, not to mention that it will take a lot of effort to clear the huge rocks pressing on it.
Judging from the size of the rubble and its location, the family that built this building should not be very wealthy.
It's somewhat not worth it, after all, the lowest known standard for white dots is 12 silver snakes.
After finding the two people reunited.
"There is no church here, so it should not be in this ruin. Let's go look somewhere else."
Jason said and walked towards the depths of the island, with the two following closely behind him.
The main goal of their mission this time is to obtain the holy weapon.
The Church of Our Lady has existed for a very long time. Before the two countries were destroyed together, the Church of Our Lady had already been located in the two countries.
That holy vessel was what the churches in the area used to pray and listen to the Word of God.
The aftermath of the mutual destruction was too sudden, causing all the church members around to die, with no one surviving.
Coupled with the darkness and the large number of deaths, much news was buried.
No one knows where the holy artifact was left at that time.
Over the years, the church would occasionally send teams to investigate and collect these lost holy objects.
After investigation, it has been determined that the final location of the holy artifact is somewhere among these small islands.
That's why they became the team to recover the holy artifacts this time.
During the journey, Alka passed a white spot again, but the white spot was located in a forest. There were dense trees and the ground was covered with plants. There was no idea where the white spot was buried.
So Alka had no intention of stopping to look for it and just skipped it.
We followed the cobblestone road that was already overgrown with weeds and arrived at the outskirts of the town ruins deep in the island.
This ruin is one or two sizes larger than the port town, and many of the buildings are still relatively intact.
If compared with port towns.
Perhaps the surrounding trees and hillsides blocked the sea breeze.
There is the first blue dot left, and a white dot that is almost overlapping with the blue dot.
With the help of the light, Alka kicked the pile of bones under his feet. The head of the corpse was smashed to pieces by something heavy.
There was not just one corpse. After walking forward for a while, they saw many corpses lying around, with their bones broken everywhere.
Especially the skulls, none of them are complete.
"It must have been done by the last wave of people who came. They were really violent."
Jason couldn't help but speak as he looked at the situation around him.
There was not a single corpse standing up in the huge ruins of the town. It seemed that the last wave of people cleaned it up very thoroughly.
This also shows that there are almost no valuable items in this town, and it is very likely that they have been collected completely.
Alka looked into the distance through the concentrated beam of light and nudged Jason next to him with his elbow: "Look over there, is that a church?"
He was not very familiar with the architectural style of the Church of Our Lady.
Jason immediately turned his head and looked into the distance in the light beam.
"Yes, that's the church."
After saying that, the three of them walked over quickly and soon arrived at the door of the church.
This church must have been built very solidly. Apart from some broken stones falling off the wall , the overall structure has no damage.
A few people walked in. The wooden benches on both sides had already been damaged, but the statue of the Virgin Mary in the front was extremely well preserved and was wrapped in various vines.
It reveals another strange sense of sacredness.
After walking around the church, Jason said, "The last wave of people who came here were definitely not from the church."
"If it was someone from the church, wouldn't this island be ruled out?"
Alka couldn't help but complain after hearing this.
Hearing this, Jason slapped his forehead and said, "Yeah."
Finally, he came to the statue in silence, reached out and began to clean the dirt and vines on the statue.
Gami also drove the vehicle over and controlled the tentacles to do the same thing.
Although Alka's faith in the Virgin Mary was not very deep, he had no choice but to join in after seeing the two people's actions.
After the cleanup, Jamie said, "Since the last wave of people who came were not from the church, they should not have gone to the silent room."
Then we came to the back of the statue, where there was a donation box that had been smashed open and emptied.
It stretched out its tentacle, groped around under the back of the donation box, and then pressed something down.
“Crack!”
There was a sound of some mechanism being triggered.
There was a vibration behind the statue and dust rose up. What was opened?
Jason had been waiting there for a long time. He squatted down, reached out and lifted it up with force. A piece of stone slab was directly lifted up by him, revealing the dark passage below.
The place below should be the silent room that Jamie just mentioned.
"Let's go down. No one should have been here." Jason said after observing for a while.
Then he threw the lighting stone in his hand down and began to climb down.
Looking at this scene, one can only say that he is indeed worthy of being an insider of the church?
It is easy to find the secret room that is difficult for outsiders to discover.
Thinking of this, Alka also jumped down from the cave.
Jia Mi controlled the vehicle and followed closely behind.
