Chapter 6 - 6. The Real Treasure

"Mother..."

The gentle female figure lingered in his mind.

Helping him dress himself and feeding him.

Gentle scolding, worrying about his illness, and easy-to-understand education.

There was also the grief of leaving suddenly.

Alka took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

The two memories together have so many similarities.

For some reason, the fear in his heart disappeared, and the bones under his feet were no longer scary.

Suddenly he 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.

Pick up the bones at his feet and gently put them into the cloth bag one by one.

Carefully stacked and stacked, occasionally digging away the dust, tree roots and rotten leaves on them.

A little bit of moisture appeared on the dry cloth bag.

Looking at the little bit of moisture, Alka didn't care, it was just the body being affected by the memory.

In the process of storing the bones, Alka was more certain that the wound was on the back.

Some pieces of clothing wrapped around the bones were not completely rotten, and some colors and textures could be vaguely seen.

It was consistent with the memory.

The bones were completely put into the cloth bag, and the whole bag was bulging. It was carefully sealed and placed next to the stone wall.

Picking up the torch next to him, Alka continued to go deeper inside.

He had not forgotten the real purpose of coming here.

It was only a few steps away, which could not be called deep.

In the innermost part of the cave, you can see boxes of wooden treasure chests being opened.

It was already empty inside, and there were some silver coins scattered around.

"Sure enough, someone has already got there first."

Alka was not surprised by the scene. His mother died here, most likely because she was attacked from behind.

It already showed that someone had arrived here, and the corresponding treasure could not have survived.

But obviously, the people who came here were in a hurry and did not search all the treasures very thoroughly.

The silver coins left on the ground and the two boxes in the innermost were still flashing with golden light.

All indicated treasures, at least there was still a little soup base left.

Alka immediately began to collect them.

A gold sail, a gold leaf, and six silver snakes.

In addition to this most intuitive currency, there are also two red gems about the size of a fingernail.

This is the remnant left by the first group of people.

The gold sail is about half the size of a palm, with a sailing ship engraved on it and a cross mark on the back.

Alka had never touched the real thing, even in his memory, and he had never even seen it, but only heard of its description.

It is said that only big merchants would use such currency when making settlements.

A 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 than the gold sail.

It really looks like a leaf.

Alka has seen this kind of gold leaf, and his family once had it.

As an intermediate currency between gold sails and silver snakes, the approximate conversion method is.

1 gold sail = 5 gold leaves = 25 silver snakes.

That is to say, this trip, 36 silver snakes were harvested.

This can be completely called a fortune, and Alka can really say that he has made a fortune at this moment.

Ordinary families can never afford so much wealth.

Hmm... Aunt Marcy's house might be able to produce it.

Arka suddenly thought of something and was stunned.

Quickly took out the manual from the inner pocket of his clothes.

Turn to the page of the map.

"I said it, the scene just now affected my emotions and caused my thoughts to go wrong."

At this time, the blue light spot where he was now on the map did not disappear or dim.

"If the treasure was obtained by me, the light spot would dim, and different information would appear when it was clicked, but there is nothing now, which means the treasure is still there."

Arka couldn't help thinking, although he didn't know the difference between the blue and white light spots.

But according to normal thinking, blue must be a little 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 search for treasure did not find the real treasure.

"This is already the bottom of the cave. If there is anything else to hide besides these boxes, it must be a secret compartment."

Arka could not help but hold a torch and began to approach the stone wall to carefully check.

Turn the shovel in his hand upside down and gently slide and knock with the handle.

First, start the inspection at the height of the chest of an adult.

While walking, he would also stomp his feet gently to see if there was a space under his feet.

He checked all the way to the bottom of the stone wall in the center of the cave. With the knocking sound, a crisp sound came from this area the size of a head.

Looking carefully here, you can also find a small rectangular mark on it.

Perhaps it is because of the time, it looks very vague and inconspicuous.

It is completely invisible if you don't look closely.

This is exactly the emblem of Jack's treasure hunting team.

A plum blossom mark.

"It's here."

Arka's voice was a little excited, and he picked up the shovel and hit it hard.

After two heavy hits, several cracks appeared, and then two pieces of mud fell off.

The darkness inside was revealed.

A few more heavy hits quickly revealed the secret compartment inside.

A square box-shaped outline glimmer has appeared in Arka's eyes.

His expression has become excited.

"The last time I dug up a bag of gold coins, there was also such an outline glimmer to highlight it, indicating that this thing is the treasure."

While thinking, he moved the torch in his hand closer.

This is a rectangular iron box with extremely rough patterns on it. A card is engraved on the front, and there is a tall hat on it.

Represents who his master is.

After confirming that there was no problem, Aka reached out and took out the box.

"It's so heavy!"

This iron box has an amazing weight. It doesn't look like a hollow and heavy box at all, but a whole solid piece of iron.

He pulled it out heavily.

It must weigh at least 50 or 60 kilograms. This is not a box at all. This is definitely a solid piece of iron.

Because there is no gap on it, it is a specially forged piece of iron, and there are patterns carved on it.

But the outline just now has clearly told Aka that this is the treasure.

It is more valuable than the 36 silver snakes and two rubies combined.

But you can't see anything from the appearance.

Just when Aka was about to open the map to check the harvest.

"Little Alka! Where are you, Alka?"

"Alka~"

"..."
