He was exploring the ruins, and the dry food on his body was almost exhausted, but he still didn't find anything of value.
The Valentines left no clues of invisible magic in the temple of Zoroastrianism, nor did they lay any traps, let alone weird tomb-guarding monsters.
It's empty, except for the murals, statues, and ancient text engravings inherent in the building... there is nothing else.
Writing is a symbol of civilized existence. As intruders, the Valentines do not have the ability to completely erase the writing on the wall.
Adolf stared at the dome above his head and checked his luggage. If he didn't leave, the remaining food would be exhausted.
"One day left..."
Adolf picked up his loose backpack and returned to his temporary residence in the underground palace.
He has been sleeping here for several days, and it is the same today.
"Pack up, sleep for an hour or two, wake up and leave."
Although a little frustrated, Adolf had to accept this result.
However, there will always be a dramatic reversal before the end of the story.
Adolf failed to wake up naturally, but was knocked awake by a gun to his head.
"Get up! Country bumpkin."
In his sleepy eyes, he only saw three or five figures shaking in front of him.
My backpack was snatched by someone, and all the contents were poured out.
"It's just a tattered book...the only thing left to eat is this bit of crumbled bread."
Someone was talking, and Adolf gradually woke up. He stared at the dark muzzle of the gun, and instantly realized his current situation, and naturally raised his hands.
There was an older man sitting next to him on a collapsed rock. He rolled a cigarette, lit it and smoked it slowly: "Where did you come from?"
Being held at gunpoint, Adolf replied expressionlessly: "I'm just a man seeking wealth."
As he spoke, Adolf's eyes kept shaking, and he quickly saw the number of people on the other side.
Five!
"We have been observing this tomb for a long time and have never found a passage that can be entered. The door cannot be opened with explosives. Why can you open it?"
Adolf knew very well that the gang in front of him should be standard tomb robbers. He pondered for a moment and prepared to use the invisible technique of Secret Transfer One to obliterate this gang.
But just before he was about to take action, he suddenly thought of a question and stopped his urge to kill.
"Because of this book."
Adolf replied calmly, but he didn't lie.
The man sitting on the rock must be the leader of the tomb robbers. He was slightly surprised and asked his accomplice to take the book to him. He flipped through it twice and found that he couldn't understand it, so he threw it behind him.
"What do you mean? This book is actually a key?"
"It can be understood this way..." Adolf knew that since "Pandera's Eternal Fire" led him to find the temple, the book was of little use, and there was no harm in telling the few people in front of him.
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the gold you have hidden!" The tomb robber holding the gun was obviously more impatient than his boss.
"Everything has been turned over by you." Adolf remained calm. After he finished speaking, he looked at the sitting leader of the tomb robbers. "If I get something, there is no place to hide it. Why don't I leave as soon as possible?"
Here?"
When the tomb robber leader heard this, he thought it made sense.
Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and picked up "Pandora's Eternal Fire" again. After flipping through it for a long time, he found that there were some torn corners on the last page.
The next moment, the gangster leader actually took out a wrinkled and yellowed page of paper from his jacket pocket and put it on the last page of "Pandera's Eternal Fire".
"That's true! Hahaha!"
Following the other party's laughter, Adolf's pupils suddenly narrowed.
The reason why he didn't take action was because he was suspicious of how the other party found this place. He himself calculated the location of the temple based on a few words in the book and spent a lot of brain power.
Moreover, Adolf discovered very early that the last page of the book had been torn out, but he did not know what it was.
Who knew that the last page would be in the hands of these tomb robbers, and it would be a whole page of maps!
"It seems that we are destined, isn't it?" Adolf said lightly, his eyes instantly became sharp.
"Can you use explosives? Boy?" The leader of the tomb robbers saw the gun on Adolf's waist. "We lost a companion half a year ago and now we need a blaster. Do you want to join us?"
After hearing this, Adolf's mind was spinning rapidly. After a few seconds, his sharp eyes slowed down, he stretched his hand to the muzzle of the gun in front of him, and slowly moved it away. During this period, the other party did not react excessively.
Some of his associates expressed dissatisfaction with their boss, but the tomb robber leader ignored them.
"Everyone comes together for money. I know you will have ideas. After all, one less person can get a bigger share of the pie." The leader stood up, stretched out his hand to Adolf, and shook hands with him, "But first, let's
You have to gain something!"
Adolf knew that the other party wanted to take advantage of his strength, so he sneered and shrugged deliberately: "I don't want to continue to do useless work. I have already visited the temple, and there is nothing that everyone wants."
"That's not necessarily the case!" The tomb robber leader picked up his gun thoughtfully.
Adolf observed the other person's expression and immediately understood. He stared at the map on the page back in the book.
The hidden passages of the temple must have been drawn on that map!
……
Dandelion, in the hall of Thomas's mansion, the fat and rich man is already sitting at the head of the long table with his legs crossed, waiting for the guests to arrive.
By Thomas' side, Pierce Dimon had already arrived first.
This guy is still wearing his trademark purple vest jacket with a rose embedded on the chest.
His expression looked slightly amused, as if he was waiting to watch a good show.
Since the Kaleidoscope incident, Pierce, who had been completely defeated, finally got help from Thomas after visiting and pleading with him several times.
But what he didn't know was that all of this was actually part of Thomas's plan. Thomas had already seen from the contact with Victor on the Kaleidoscope that the other person was a guy who was difficult to control.
The best option is to support Pierce and force him to sign terms that are more beneficial to Cornwall Company.
But businessmen always have to be trustworthy and return the abandoned land to Victor, and then make him retreat. This is the result Thomas wants.
He can use the contract signed many years ago as leverage.
There is absolutely no way Victor can earn five hundred farka in half a month!
For this reason, Thomas also issued an order that all casinos in Missouri prohibit Victor from entering, lest he get his shit and make money on the gaming table.
After Pierce learned of Thomas's attitude, he happily spent all his savings and assured himself that if he got the inheritance rights, he would definitely use the cotton gins that had not been burned out without making any mistakes.
Continuation of contract with Cornwall Company.
The price is that the contract amount will be doubled and a bonus of one thousand French cards will be returned every quarter...
On the surface, it looks like you are suffering a loss, but what does it matter?
Pierce secretly thought: As long as he finds the thing hidden in the Damon family and sells it for an exaggerated price, there will be no problem at all in reorganizing the manor or renewing the contract with Thomas. p>
Everyone in the room had their own secrets, and at this moment, the housekeeper pushed open the thick main door of the hall. Victor, dressed in a white suit, carrying a suitcase, slowly walked in under the surveillance of a dozen gunmen.
