Eagle's Glory

Then there is no need to hesitate, Aegron bent down, ready to peel off the last camouflage, and saw the small earthen wall.

In the original book, the protagonist used a pickaxe to dig out the dirt and earthen walls. Aigron and Chanel did not have such handy tools, so they had to use gun butts to smash them hard. Fortunately, there were two of them this time, So their speed doesn't seem to be slow,

After their 10-minute effort, the wall gave in, smashing a hole through which an arm could fit.

Then, Aigron used the gunpowder that Chanel was carrying and ignited it with the fuze prepared in advance, thus breaking the pad stone into pieces.

The flying gravel brought smoke and dust, and a lot of small insects escaped from the hole amidst the smoke and dust, and then a big snake that looked like a treasure protecting a treasure also swam out and disappeared after a while. .

Very good... Aegron could no longer hide his excitement, and grinned.

wait for me... i'm coming...

He used the gun in Chanel's hand as a crowbar, inserted it into a crack, and together with Chanel, tried their best to pry the big rock.After being shaken by the gunpowder, the boulder was already loose, and now it is even more shaky.

Then, amidst a whine, the barrel of the gun bent slightly, and the boulder rolled to one side, and a circular space appeared where the boulder stood, with a square stone slab in the middle, and an iron stone on it. ring.

"Haha...hahahaha...!" The young man couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, he looked up to the sky and laughed arrogantly.

Apparently no one has been here since the stone was laid down, which means the treasure must still be lying there, waiting for a new owner.

Because of the excessive force just now, Aigron's legs were shaking all the time, his heart was beating wildly, and even the vision of his eyes was a little blurred.

But he didn't want to stop, he took a few deep breaths, then inserted the barrel of the gun into the iron ring and pried it with all his strength, the big stone slab was lifted off like this, revealing an underground cave with a staircase-like opening. The stone steps extend downward until they disappear into the darkness.

"Let's go in!" Aigron looked around, reconfirmed that no one else was present, and then gestured vigorously.

They walked down the stone steps and came to the cave. Unexpectedly, the cave was not dark, and the light came in from the cracks in the rocks. These were invisible from the outside, but inside the cave, they were Through them you can see the blue sky, and see the ivy and tendrils and weeds that grow in the crevices of the rocks.

The air inside is not humid, but rather warm.

There is nothing at the bottom of the cave, only bare rock walls, but Eggron is not afraid of anything now, he taps the cave wall with the butt of his gun, carefully observes among the stones, and listens to the echo of the cave wall.

Soon, he found the hollow wall.

He knocked again, harder this time.As a result, a piece of paint fell off the wall of the cave, and then a large white stone was exposed.

He pounded hard with the butt of his gun until at last he made a small passage, and by this time he was covered with white plaster, but he didn't realize it.

I have to clean it up for His Majesty later... Chanel next to him thought to himself.

But right now they couldn't control that much anymore, and the two of them walked into the second cave along the narrow opening.

Because there is no gap for air to circulate here, there is a rancid smell inside. They waited for a while to let the air inside breathe, and then went in.

With the help of the fire, they found that the cave was still empty, and there were only bare rock walls everywhere.

But Aigron didn't hesitate, he walked to the left side of the hole, in the dark and deep corner, and stepped hard.He heard a muffled soft bang.

Here it is...

Aigron only felt his heart beating wildly, but he still held back his excitement, greeted Chanel, and dug a piece of ground together.

They saw an oak cash box covered with a battered iron sheet.In the center of the lid he saw a silver plate engraved with a coat of arms and arms, and above the coat of arms was a cardinal's hat.

In the center of the cash box, there are large locks and padlocks with thick iron chains as the final seal of the treasure.

This is the last legacy left by the poor Spada family in the world... Aigron silently thanked the cardinal who died unexpectedly.

How could the poor man who came to the island with such trepidation to bury his property imagine that he would become a great patron of an emperor?

Thank you, stranger.

Aegron suppressed his whims and aimed his gun at the lock on the cash drawer.

"boom!"

Amidst the whine of metal, the lock shook violently, but did not break.

It doesn't matter, it's already this time, and Aigron is not in a hurry.

He handed Chanelle his rifle to load from the pellets he carried, and he himself produced the pistol he always carried.

"boom!"

Lock seemed to be possessed by the unjust soul of the cardinal, and he was still stubbornly resisting, and did not express his surrender to the prince who came from afar.

It's okay... I'll make you suffer the most horribly until you give in.

Eggron took the reloaded rifle and fired again at the chain.

"boom!"

"boom!"

After several consecutive gunshots, the big lock was finally no match for the power of human inventions, and broke amidst the creaking sound.

You're mine... finally mine!

Aegron leaned down, grabbed the rusty and decayed pull ring with his hands, and then yelled.

"Open Sesame!"

Just as he shouted, he pulled up hard.

The dust dissipated, and the brilliance of the stars in the sky fell on the young man, like a golden halo blessing him.　　

22. reward

The moment the cash drawer was opened, the golden brilliance enveloped Aigron's entire body.

He was dazed for a moment, and it was only a moment before he regained the bare minimum of sanity.

He took a deep breath and suddenly felt a severe tightness in his chest.

He suppressed his crazy heartbeat and carefully looked at the treasure in front of him.

This cash drawer is divided into three compartments.

In each compartment gleamed piles of gold coins, while in the second compartment there were rows of unpolished gold nuggets, while in the third compartment there were piles of diamonds, pearls and rubies, which had been carefully polished. The good and huge gem finally ushered in a new owner after being dusty for many years.

Out of the corner of Aigron's eyes, he subconsciously landed on Chanel next to him.

The shining jewels filled the grotto in an instant, and even Chanel next to him was dazzled.

But after waking up, she still stood quietly on the spot without making any unnecessary movements, just looked at the young man with a smile, as if she was reassuring her master that all the hard work was not in vain after all.

She was able to pass the jewelry test so easily.

Aegron's heart was suddenly moved.

What gold and jewels can compare with the value of this loyalty?

At this moment, Aigron suddenly felt a little dizzy again. He yelled in his heart that he was not good, and rushed directly to Chanel.

"Your Majesty...?" Chanel was puzzled by Aigron's sudden action.

Then, her feet went limp and she almost fainted.

Aigron hugged her waist, and dragged her fiercely towards the cave entrance.

Chanel's thin body can be easily dragged by him, but now it seems to be as heavy as a thousand weights; the distance from the cash drawer to the entrance of the cave was only a dozen steps away, but now it seems to be thousands of miles away.

Aigron only felt that his steps were heavy, he could only move a little bit, and his consciousness gradually became blurred, but he still hugged Chanel tightly and led her staggeringly towards the entrance of the cave.

This is the most precious treasure in his hands right now, he is unwilling and unable to let it go, he cannot and does not want to lose it.

At this moment, the deep hole seemed to him to be a black hole that could swallow everything, replacing everything as his only goal, and he dragged Chanel with difficulty, getting closer little by little.

Until exhausted at the last moment, he finally dragged Chanel to the entrance of the cave.

Having lost all his strength, he fell to his knees on the ground, and Chanel also fell beside him.

Is this the boundary between life and death?

Aigron was breathing heavily, like a fish that had just been caught on the shore, and Chanel also woke up from a brief faint.

Different from the first cave with rock cracks for ventilation, the second one is only connected to the first cave, and it was closed with a mud wall before. Although the air was changed for a while, the oxygen was still insufficient, and the two of them almost died in it. Unknowingly suffocated due to lack of oxygen.

If they continue to be addicted to this treasure and forget about this terrible danger, if they are not vigilant, they may only become miserable ghosts next to the treasure.

After Aigron confirmed his safety, he went to see Chanel again.

"Chanel, are you okay?" He asked tremblingly.

"I'm fine...Your Majesty." Chanel replied in a low voice, as if crying, "Thank you for saving me."

"...Sure enough, treasures have been a sharp weapon for killing people since ancient times." Aigron made a joke with a wry smile.

Then he staggered to his feet and helped Chanel up.

After confirming that the other party was fine, he looked at the cash drawer in the cave again, and it was still shining with golden light.

It took him a lot of effort to turn his gaze away.

"Okay, Chanel, let's go first, let's stop here today." Aigron looked at Chanel.

"Your Majesty... what should we do here?" Chanel asked.

"Let's put these treasures here first, and they can't escape anyway." Aigron replied leisurely, "We can't move them now, and it is impossible to find a more secret place on this island than here, so let's put them away first." Here."

"Then...what to do when other people come to the island? Although it is very hidden here, there is still a risk of being discovered." Chanel still hesitated.

"When there are enough people on the island, then what I say is unquestionable, do you need to worry?" Aigron sneered disdainfully, "At that time, we will pretend to have discovered this cave, and then treat it as a cave. My residence, let me see if anyone dares to search me."

In the original book, the Count of Monte Cristo turned the cave here into his luxurious paradise. Although Aigron didn't have the count's penchant for spending money like water, he didn't mind learning his techniques.

"Okay, then let's go..." Chanel understood the young man's plan, so she nodded and stopped talking.

"Chanel, I have a gift for you." At this time, she heard a sentence.

Then, in her unbelievable sight, Aegron stretched out his hand to her, and in the palm of his hand were several gemstones of various colors shining with dazzling light.

"Your Majesty...?" Chanel murmured.

"Before I carried you away, I grabbed a handful and put it in my pocket." Aigron smiled sheepishly, "Although this is only a small part of the treasure, it is enough for our group of people to spend in the short term Chanel, I will give you half as your reward all along, I hope you will continue to serve me in the future—"

According to the logic of "the person who sees has a share", the reward he gave to Chanel is really shabby-but Chanel was so moved that he couldn't restrain it.

However, to his surprise, Chanel didn't reach out to pick it up, but just looked at the young man with moving eyes, with tears in his eyes.

"Chanel?" Aigron couldn't help urging, "You're welcome, you deserve this, take it."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Chanel's hand and forcibly put all the gems into Chanel's hand, "This is just your first phase of compensation. I said that you are not a partner but a shareholder in my business. No matter what I get, you have a share—in other words, the things I can give you in the future will only be more and more precious..."

Chanel kept looking at him with red eyes, and after a while, as if she had made up her mind, she whispered to him.

"Then, can I ask you for something more precious now? Use my gems to buy..."

Aegron froze for a moment.

Then he nodded, "What do you want to buy? I don't think I have anything more precious than them on hand right now."

"I want you to kiss me..." Chanel blushed, and then she didn't dare to speak any more. She just raised her hand and spread the gem in her hand in front of Aigron.

Aegron didn't know how to reply for a moment.

However, when he saw Chanel's dusty face and eyes full of hope and fear, his heart softened.

"Silly girl, if you do business in the future, you will definitely lose all my capital!" He complained in a low voice.

Then, he hugged Chanel into his arms, "Put away the gems, this one doesn't cost money."

After finishing speaking, he directly lowered his head and printed his lips on Chanel's.

The sudden ecstasy made Chanel's face flush again, she closed her eyes and almost fainted, trying to open her mouth so that the young man could enjoy this moment more easily.

Although the two people's bodies and faces are now covered with dust, and there is dust on their lips, none of them care about this, they just care about their lips and tongues, enjoying each other's intimate moments.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally parted their lips. At this time, Chanel no longer had the courage just now, and stood beside Aigron with a blushing face and lowered her head, with an extremely shy expression.

"Okay, is there anything else? If not, let's go back first, it should be getting late now." Aigron tried hard to regain his composure.

"There is nothing else, thank you for your reward, Your Majesty." Chanel replied with her head down.

"Okay, let's go." Aigron waved his hand, and then stepped forward to go out.

Chanel hurriedly followed behind him, and suddenly she thought of something, "By the way, Your Majesty, now we are covered in mud and dust, how will they explain it when we see His Highness?"

"No need to explain." Aigron replied with a smile, "They will definitely think that I am in a good mood while hunting, and do some outrageous things with you on the spot."

Chanel blushed again.

"Then...how about making a fake show for real..." She murmured in a low voice, but she still didn't dare to say it.

Then she changed the subject, "Then let's bury this place again!"

Aigron nodded, and then led Chanel out along the stone steps.
