Chapter 62: Treasure Hunting
When Wen Bufan returned from the secret passage, Isabel was reading a book in the secret room, Wen Bufan entered the secret room and opened the detailed explanation of the palace, pointed to the page with the secret passage of the palace and said: "I just went out to see, this secret passage in the city is more secret, and the exit in the palace is also relatively safe, in the rockery of a side temple garden behind. The two exits outside the city are still hidden, but as you can see, the exits at the other end of the palace are either in the erosion or in the study. ”
"Then we'll go to the one in the city." Isabel said, closing the book in her hand.
"What are you looking at?" Wen Bufan looked at the book in Isabel's hand and said.
"Nothing, girls' books!" Isabel said.
Night was gradually falling, Wen Bufan and Isabel were wearing night clothes inside and a coat outside, and they were walking slowly towards the secret passage to the palace.
The secret passage is indeed a bit remote, and few people usually come. Now that the night is dark, there is no one around.
Wen Bufan and Isabel came to the secret passage and wanted to open it, but they couldn't open it at all. Wen Bufan tried again, but he still couldn't open it.
"Could it be locked inside?" Isabel said.
"It's very likely that although the book says that it can be turned on inside and out, the control switch is still inside." Wen Bufan said.
Isabel didn't speak, looking at Wen Bufan.
"Let's take a look at the other secret passages." Wen Bufan said.
Wen Bufan and Isabel tried a few more secret passage switches, but they still couldn't open them.
"It looks like all the secret passages in the city are locked inside! Let's go out into town! Wen Bufan said.
The two of them had no choice but to return to the small building and leave the city through the secret passage under the well. Found one of the secret passages outside the city that led to the royal palace. It's actually opened!
The secret passage is quite spacious, and it is no problem for two people to walk side by side. Wen Bufan and Isabel walked for a long time and came to a fork in the road.
Wen Bufan said: "Let's walk to the side of the study, it's so late, there shouldn't be anyone reading." ”
Isabel said, "Good! ”
After walking for a while, I finally saw an upward staircase. Wen Bufan walked up slowly, listened to it, and confirmed that there was no sound outside.
Then he slowly opened the mechanism, and just as he wanted to go out, he heard the sound of the door opening, and Wen Bufan hurriedly closed the mechanism. As soon as the mechanism was closed, a man entered the study, and then he heard the man say to the other, "Come in, no one!" ”
Wen Bufan hid in the agency and listened, and two people walked in, one with slightly heavier steps and the other with slightly lighter steps.
Wen Bufan whispered to Isabel: "Someone has come in, or let's find another exit!" ”
Isabel nodded in agreement.
Wen Bufan just wanted to come down slowly. The voices of a man and a woman could be heard from above
"Hurry up, you're in a hurry to kill me!"
"Don't worry, slow down!"
……
The man's voice is a bit unmasculine and unfeminine, and he should be a eunuch.
actually met two eunuchs and palace maids who did that kind of thing, Wen Bufan scolded in his heart. But suddenly I felt that something was wrong, right! The voice was wrong, the voices of these two people didn't look like the voices of those who did that kind of thing.
Wen Bufan stopped and decided to take a risk. Wen did not object to Isabel making a gesture of silence, and then slowly opened the mechanism, gently opening a gap. Through the moonlight outside, Wen Bufan saw that the man and the woman seemed to be opening something. The man doesn't look like the palace attendant, and the woman doesn't look like the palace maid.
These two are here to steal! Wen Bufan thought to himself. The moonlight shone on the faces of those two people, Wen Bufan saw that it was actually two children, no wonder the male voice was a little unman and not female, it was a child! Wen Bufan deeply apologized in his heart for his dirty thoughts like two children.
After a while, the boy said in surprise, "Open it!" ”
"Be quiet! Someone called for a moment! The girl said.
"Oh! Oh! The boy slowly picked up something. It's a piece of paper.
It can't be that map, right? Wen Bufan thought in his heart.
"And so it was!" The boy said, "I can't think of such an important thing, she actually put it in the study!" ”
"She wouldn't have thought we'd find it!" The girl said, "What are we going to do next?" ”
"I can't get out of the palace today. Early tomorrow morning, I will leave the palace and tell Uncle Thirteen that Uncle Thirteen will have a way! The boy said.
The two children put the paper away, closed the door and went out.
Wen Bufan looked at Isabel, and it was obvious that Isabel had also heard the voices of the two children.
Looks like something is going to happen in this palace!
Wen Bufan confirmed that the two children had gone away, and then he and Isabel came out of the secret passage.
The two men left the study, evaded the night guards, and arrived at a predetermined secret room. Wen Bufan opened the mechanism at the entrance to the secret room according to the detailed description of the palace. The two of them flashed and entered the passage to the secret room.
Before this passage came, Wen Bufan and Isabel carefully read the detailed annotations of the palace, and how to avoid the mechanisms in the passage were all memorized in their minds.
At this time, the two people slowly passed through the passage, and the mechanism was not triggered. The two of them came to the door of the secret room safely. After Wen Bufan opened the heavy door of the secret room, a dazzling light flashed Wen Bufan and Isabel couldn't open their eyes!
After slowly getting used to it, Wen Bufan and Isabel were still stunned by the scene in front of them! Although I am fully prepared, there are piles of gold here! Jewelry! It still makes Wen Bufan and Isabel a little difficult to accept! This is just one of the dozens of secret rooms in the palace! There is so much gold and jewelry! So how many treasures are hidden in this palace?
Wen Bufan and Isabel walked slowly among the piles of gold and jewelry. The jewels that can be seen everywhere make Wen Bufan a little excited!
Isabel's attention was drawn to the beautiful jewels, but there were obviously only gold jewels here, and there was no map that Wen Bufan was looking for!
"Shall we take some money or something?" Wen Bufan looked at the room full of gold jewelry and said.
"What do you think, most of these jewels and gold were found in the Aturaa Desert, and they were transported here after they were found, so these treasures did not belong to Oasis City in the first place. Even if we take it, it's nothing! If they find it, it's theirs! Now that we've found it, shouldn't it be ours? Isabel said logically.
"That's right!" Wen Bufan felt that what Isabel said was too reasonable! What they find is theirs, and what we find is not ours!
