Margaret's guardian family has been the most detailed map of Blackwater Island for generations, after all, as the guardian of Blackwater Island, how can you do it if you don't know where you are?

The power of the Guardian Family is like an army of a country, maintaining order while also guarding the safety of the islanders, and there are many of them, so it is perfect for searching.

"Except for the places that have been developed into settlements and docks, all that remains of Blackwater Island is the extinct volcano in the center of the island, the jungle to the south, and the inland sea to the west. All three places are barren places that no one has visited, and even animals don't go there easily. ”

Hearing this, the bee-eater couldn't help but wonder, "Why don't even animals like to go to those places?" ”

Margaret smiled, "Because those places are not suitable for people and animals." ”

"Then why do you think the Hawkins live there?" The bee-eater looked surprised, "It's clear that those places can't even be inhabited by humans, right?" ”

"I'm talking about ordinary people, and ordinary people naturally can't live there, but the Hawkins are not among them." Margaret's expression was solemn, "Thinking of what happened to those empty ghosts and the Hawkins family, they must have supernatural power in their hands!" ”

"That's right, I suspect they're using a forbidden spell." Edwin agreed with Margaret's speculation, and also made his own suggestion, "When your men find them, it's best not to rush into contact and conflict with them, and don't be easily detected, otherwise our future plans will not be carried out." ”

"Don't worry, I've already instructed those subordinates to act on the opportunity, and come back as soon as there is news."

Edwin nodded, and said no more, since Margaret had said so, all he had to do now was wait for the good news to come.

To be honest, he didn't really want to wait here like this, instead of waiting, he might as well take the initiative to find it, but he was afraid of the book of necromancy in the other party's hand, and he was afraid that they might be the ones who killed the creature, so he needed someone to help him test it.

Beneath the extinct volcano in the center of the island, several men in slightly shabby clothes and armed with old short-handled revolvers were arriving here with some purpose, they belonged to Margaret's command, this time to find someone who lived here, as for whom, Margaret didn't say, they didn't ask, they just needed to make sure if there was anyone here.

"Old Bill, who are you saying the eldest sister asked me to come here for? Where can people live in this place? ”

"John, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, since Miss said there are people here, then there must be someone."

John pursed his lips, he also knew that old Bill had always been loyal to Miss Margaret, and the content of this kind of secret work would not be revealed half a word.

Even if he didn't smell any useful news, he really couldn't make his inner curiosity any lessen, obviously the environment here of the extinct volcano is not suitable for human habitation, why would he come here to find people?

Following Old Bill up the hill, the ashes of the embers were still drifting along the way, although the volcano was long dead, but the heat still hadn't diminished in any way, and ordinary people couldn't bear to stay here all the time.

Feeling the heat coming from his feet, John couldn't help but pout, "How can there be people in this kind of place..."

Old Bill was noncommittal, even though he had the same idea as John, but he still carried out Margaret's orders without hesitation, after all, he had been working for Margaret's grandfather for his family for almost forty years now. He didn't learn anything else, but he learned loyalty and sophistication, and he knew very well that as a person who worked for the family, he didn't ask what he shouldn't ask, didn't listen to what he shouldn't hear, and only needed to carry out the orders given by the head of the family, no matter what the result was.

Along the way, the elder Bill and his three men walked towards the top of the mountain, ignoring the temperature transmitted by the volcano, and when he was a child, he remembered that he and his childhood playmates had been here, and at that time they were surprised by everything in the outside world, and now, the novelty is gone, and all that remains is some memories of the past.

With this remembrance, he took the three of them up the mountain, and when he raised his eyes, there was no difference from the past, it was still the huge crater, and it was still a barren land without half a plant, and even the insects could not be seen.

"Look, there's really nothing here, and we're here for nothing." John pouted, who would love this kind of time-wasting move? You must know that if he has this time, he can win a lot of money in the casino.

Old Bill was noncommittal, and glanced at John with dissatisfaction, the young people of today are no longer comparable to their generation, not to mention the good and bad work, and the loyalty is not comparable, and there are many complaints along the way, and they have forgotten who they work for, if it is not the right time, he would like to teach this kid a lesson.

However, even if he wants to teach this guy a lesson, he has to admit that he is right, there is nothing abnormal here, and there is no so-called investigative value.

Looking around, just as he was about to beckon everyone down the mountain, he accidentally glanced into the crater, but he saw something incredible.

"What's that?"

Following Old Bill's fingers, the three men, who were about to leave, saw a shadow beneath the crater.

John, who had better eyes, squinted his eyes to increase his focus, and the thing gradually became clear, so that he couldn't help but change from hesitation to affirmation, "It seems to be a door, yes, it is indeed a door!" ”

After affirmation, it is naturally incredible, "I read that right, right?" Is there really anyone living in a crater like that? ”

Old Bill had a faint smile on his face, "It seems that Miss's guess is not wrong at all, this place is indeed inhabited." ”

John was gearing up for the moment, going there and knocking on the door, trying to make contact with the occupants and ask them what it was like to live here.

Old Bill stopped him and said with an unkind expression, "Don't forget how Miss explained when she asked us to come!" ”

John broke away from Old Bill's hand and said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of, although Miss let us find someone and reply immediately, but she didn't say that contact with the other party was not allowed, right?" Maybe Miss just wants to catch them, but she doesn't worry about us doing it ourselves, if we catch each other, wouldn't it be a great achievement? ”

Old Bill shook his head stubbornly when he heard this, "No, it's not good, whatever Miss says, we'll do it!" ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for John's reaction, and said to the remaining two, "I'll keep watch here, and John and you will go back and report what you find here." ”

The two looked at each other when they heard this, nodded with some hesitation, and carried John down the mountain.

Seeing this scene, old Bill finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that this kid John would sabotage the task assigned by the young lady, and he didn't care that this guy was his companion.

"Before the young lady came, my task was to stay here!"

Old Bill sat down cross-legged on his own knees, facing the position of the door, motionless.

John, who was escorted away from the top of the mountain, had a pale face, and was even more resentful of old Bill in his heart, this guy simply didn't know what flexibility was, and let such an opportunity for meritorious service slip away in vain, no, he must not just forget it.

Thinking of this, his eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth sketched a playful smile, "I said, do you want to make enough money to open a shop in the town and marry a beautiful wife?" ”

The man on the left rolled his eyes, "Who wouldn't?" Why do you ask this? Is there a way for you to make us money? ”

The man on the right echoed and stabbed, "That is, we all work for others, and we still honestly take our share of a stable life." ”

John shook his head with regret, "Then I can only say that you missed an opportunity to make a fortune. ”

The man on the left was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "What chance?" ”

Although the man on the right did not speak, his ears were puffed up to reveal his inner curiosity.

"The opportunity to make a fortune is there." John pointed to the top of the hill and said mysteriously.

The man on the left was suddenly deflated, and said angrily, "I thought you were going to say something, then break the door one by one, what is there to make a fortune." ”

"Think about it with your brain, why does the eldest sister want us to come here? Just because you're looking for someone? Not necessarily, right? If there's a pile of treasure hidden behind that door, do you think we're missing the chance to get rich? ”

John sneered, "Old Bill separated us, maybe he just knows the inside story, and wants to go in alone to get some benefits, even if the eldest sister comes, I don't know if there are few things in it, and it's not what Old Bill himself says." ”

The man on the left stopped talking, looking down at the credibility of John's words.

The man on the right was more alert, and said bluntly, "These are just your guesses, if things don't go as you think, who will bear the anger of the eldest sister at that time?" ”

John knew that if he wanted to deceive these two people, he would not be able to make certain guarantees, so he gritted his teeth, "In this way, if something really happens, I will bear it, right?" At that time, even if the eldest sister wants to pursue it, she will only pursue me alone? What do you think? ”

The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes, this was indeed an opportunity, if it was really as John had guessed, the benefits outweighed the risks.

Old Bill stood alone on the top of the hill and remained motionless, unaware of the private actions and agreements of John and the others, whom he had sent to reply to Miss.

When decades of intuition told him that danger was coming, he jerked his head, only to see a stick fall from the side of his cheek and hit him on the shoulder.

The next moment, the severe pain made him almost faint, but he was still not very old, and his physical fitness had not deteriorated too much, so he grabbed the gun on his waist and wanted to return fire.

However, he didn't know that there was more than one person on the other side, and another wooden stick smashed from the side, smashing the gun in his hand away.

Without a gun in his hand, Old Bill couldn't help but panic, at this time he finally saw who the person who attacked him was, and his face was extremely stunned, "It's you?!" ”

Old Bill is not stupid, when he saw John and the three of them go and return, and even attacked him, where was he still unclear about his current situation? Although they didn't know the purpose of their actions, they couldn't help but ask the three of them about protecting their family's loyalty, "What do you want to do?" ”

"What for?" John sneered, "I've long seen that you're an old guy who is unhappy, you can suppress us just because you're an old man, and now you want to swallow the treasure alone, it's shameless!" ”

"What treasure?" Old Bill looked dazed.

The other two couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this, and their hearts couldn't help but waver about whether there was a treasure or not.

Sensing the wavering of the two, John decided to take a risk, but seeing a hint of cruelty in his eyes, he raised his wooden stick and attacked Old Bill, relying on his youth and strength to gradually force Old Bill to the edge of the crater.

The two of them couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this, although they really wanted to get rich, but they didn't want to make a fuss, old Bill has always been an old man that Miss relied on, if he died, they would not have good fruit to eat.

He stepped forward to stop him, but before he had taken a few steps, Old Bill was finally forced down by John and knocked down the crater, and the desperate screams and the movement of the fall made the two of them pale in the face.

John gasped, a flash of panic in his eyes, he killed Old Bill, he couldn't believe it, he killed Old Bill like this.

Although Old Bill is very annoying and often likes to pour cold water on people, it is not to the point of killing him.

But now, old Bill is dead, it has become a fact, as a murderer, he can foresee, once the eldest sister knows, how miserable his fate will be.

He didn't want to die yet, he hadn't made a fortune yet, thinking of this, he forcibly suppressed the guilt and panic in his heart, his face began to become cold, he stood up, turned his head to look at the two who were anxious, and said in a deep voice, "Old Bill was attacked by the people who lived inside and fell into the crater, we must avenge him!" Now, come with me to that door! ”

The two were not stupid when they heard this, and immediately understood the meaning of John's words, in order not to die, they chose to hide the truth of this matter with John, there is no doubt that they have been tied to a boat by each other, and now, there is only one way to go.

The three of them cooperated with each other, and they went down from the crater to the top of the tower twenty meters from the mountain pass, and also came to the gate.

From a distance, it was not clear that the door was unlocked, and John couldn't wait to open the door, and the two people behind him followed. Even if they don't know what's inside, if there is really a treasure, won't they be rich?

But unfortunately, the treasure did not wait, and they waited for a person, a man in a black robe.

"I can't believe that after so many years, someone finally found here, let me see, what your purpose is..."

The words fell, and the three of them lost consciousness before they could react.
