Chapter 21 - 21. Treasure Revealed

The air was as silent as death.

With a hint of embarrassment.

"Ahem."

Alka coughed and came to the wall where the noise just occurred as if nothing had happened.

The dust was vibrating down from this wall.

Raising his hand and touching the wall, brushing it, he could indeed feel a little unevenness.

There was a gap, and he slid along this gap.

It was a stone door about two meters wide.

"There is a stone door here. The one I turned before should be the switch, but maybe it's too long and no one has maintained it, so the mechanism has broken down."

Jason had figured it out through Alka's previous actions.

Walked over and stood beside Alka, and began to knock gently against the wall.

The solid dull sound echoed in his ears.

Alka also listened to the echo of his knocking.

Only Sigurd looked confused and could only watch quietly, his eyes full of the desire to learn.

Suddenly, his gestures changed, the way of knocking was slightly different, and the echo changed.

He knocked along the stone door and around the stone door.

He raised his head again and patted the dust on his ears.

"This should be a push-in stone door, which is a bit difficult."

"Why do you say that?" Alka was a treasure hunter who changed his career halfway through.

There were many things he didn't know at all, but the one in front of him looked professional.

Jason put both hands on the stone door and pushed it forward with force, but the stone door did not move at all.

"Because for this kind of stone door, you have to push the whole huge stone into it before you can find the entrance on both sides or one side. This secret space should have entrances on both sides."

"If it is a rotating type, you only need to push one side of the stone door hard and it will rotate a circle and bring us in. It takes much less effort."

Arka nodded in understanding. No wonder the difficulty is [Strongman].

That is to say, you have to push this whole heavy stone door to reveal a passage for them to enter.

"Let's push it together, maybe it can work."

Sigt walked up and said.

"Okay, let's try it."

After that, the three of them leaned against the wall and used their shoulders and elbows to push against the stone door in front of them.

"I'll count 321, push together."

"3, 2, 1, push!"

With Arka's order.

The three of them began to push towards the stone door with all their strength.

As they pushed, several people began to snort and their faces were a little red.

However, their legs began to slide backwards, and the stone door in front of them just shook slightly, and they did not push in at all.

"No, not enough strength."

Jason relaxed, leaned on his knees, and said with a heavy breath.

Alka was also panting, looking at the stone door in front of him.

I underestimated the difficulty of [Hercules].

Of course, it would be a pity to give up just like that.

If I go to find other people, it might make people jealous, cause unnecessary trouble, and I might have to give away more.

Everyone was naturally unwilling to do that.

One more person means one less share for myself.

Alka began to look around to see if there was anything he could use.

Looking at the floor under his feet.

He reached out and touched his chin.

"Let's knock a few pits on the floor, so that we can use more force. Didn't the stone door just shake a little? It means we are still a little short."

"Okay, let's do it." Sigurd nodded after hearing Alka's opinion.

Jason had no choice but to say, "Okay then."

After all, there was no better way to think of now.

Then he took out a small hammer as long as his forearm and a shovel from his bag.

Everyone started to work hard.

After a while, three pits appeared on the ground.

"Try again."

As he said, Alka stepped on the pit with his legs and used his shoulders to support the wall.

The others did the same.

"3, 2, 1, push!"

This time, with the pits to leverage, the three of them used all their strength.

Finally, the stone slab in front of them loosened obviously.

"Hah!"

Feeling this situation, the three people began to roar and pushed forward.

The stone door was slowly pushed forward, and finally two side holes that could be passed were revealed.

"Huh, huh, finally done."

The three of them walked in from the side door impatiently.

It was pitch black.

Siegert was about to go outside to get the torch he had just put down.

Jason took out a palm-sized lantern from his backpack, turned it around and ignited the fire.

Turning a corner, they came to a small room that was only about three meters wide and six or seven meters long.

On a large table, there were various tools that were rusty and completely unusable.

There were also some hand-painted drawings, but they were already dirty and oily and could not be seen clearly.

Alka had already seen the treasure he was looking for in this somewhat dim environment.

Because the outline was already shown above.

Seeing this, Alka suddenly said: "According to our agreement just now, the three of us will share it equally, and the contribution will determine who will take the spoils first."

"If we encounter multiple spoils later, the order of selection will be between me, Jason, and Sigurd."

Alka looked at Jason and said: "Do you have any objections? Let's talk about it now to avoid disputes later."

Jason nodded happily: "Of course, follow the order you said, I have no problem."

Then Alka turned his head and looked at Sigurd.

"Of course I have no problem."

"Okay, let's do it."

Then the three of them worked together to find the spoils in this space.

Among them was the weapon that Alka saw.

Finally, all the items were placed on the table.

All of them are rock-shaking guns.

4 pistols, 2 rock-shaking guns that look like short-blast guns.

Both of them looked at Alka.

Alka directly chose the short-blast gun that had just been outlined.

None of these guns look the same, but their styles are very different.

They all look a bit delicate and luxurious.

They are called weapons, but they look a bit like decorations.

So you can't tell anything from the appearance, and it is more logical for Alka to choose a clearly different short-blast gun.

Because it is more expensive.

After watching Alka finish choosing, Jason directly picked up a gun from the pistol.

Seeing this situation, Sigurd took the remaining short-blast gun without hesitation.

In the end, Jason held two pistols.

Alka and Sigurd each had a short-blast gun and a pistol.

"Then this cooperation ends here."

"Let's go first."

After hearing Alka's words, Jason shrugged: "Of course, you are welcome."

Then, the two walked out the way they came without hesitation.

Taking advantage of the sky that had not yet completely darkened, they walked out of the manor.

When they walked out of the manor, they saw Jason waving goodbye to the two of them at the door of the building.

"It's getting late, let's hurry up and go back first."

The two hid their guns in their clothes and walked through the muddy road.

Back to the port city.
