Count of Monte Cristo

Edmund and Lin Ke got off the boat and landed on the small island of Monte Cristo. After going around, they returned to the small island.

The small island of Monte Cristo is still so full of life, thousands of bugs are chirping, the tone is single but full of the unique charm of nature.Those lush mahogany and olive trees surround the entire island of Monte Cristo like a barrier.The leaves are blown by the sea breeze, making many beautiful sounds.On the slopes in the distance, you can also see jumping antelopes, and emerald lizards that disappear and appear in the grass from time to time.This little island is so alive, so satisfying.Lin Ke wanted to admire the person who kept the treasure here, so he chose a geomantic location.

The sun was nearly setting when they disembarked, and it seemed they were going to be here tonight.

Sykes also came to see them off, looking very reluctant, "Are you sure you want to stay here and not go back to Marseille?" He confirmed again.

Edmund nodded, "Thank you very much for your kindness, we can't trouble you anymore..." He handed the knife in his hand to the young sailor standing next to him. The sailor took the knife and looked at it several times , finally opened his mouth and laughed. "Thank you so much! I love this gift so much!"

"This is what you deserve. I promised you that I will carve a knife for you." Edmund said.

"In that case, see you in Marseille."

"Okay, we will meet again. I still owe the Wren's ship fare." Linke smiled.Some sailors over there have already let down their little wreck.

The horn on the ship sounded, and the ship was about to set sail!

"Haha... See you in Marseilles in a week! We'll have a good drink then!" Sykes laughed suddenly, and then said.

"Sure!" Edmund agreed.

Seeing the backs of them leaving, Edmond smiled and said, "Okay! This is ours!" He became excited all of a sudden, and walked quickly to a small island on the right with his arms around Lin Ke's shoulders. Lin Ke was taken aback by him, and shouted: "Boat! Our boat!" What should I do if the reins were blown away before I tied the reins?

"Leave him alone!" Edmund said loudly, "Now let us open the door!"

He laughed a lot, Lin Ke was infected by him, and ran after him.Panting, the two stopped in front of a big rock. The rock was covered with moss and vines, covering the entire mountain, as if that was the mountain, and there were no caves at all.

Lin Ke panted loudly, while Edmund pulled away the vines. He was very fast and skilled, as if he had practiced it thousands of times, and soon a large piece of the vines was peeled away, revealing a big hole.

Lin Ke held his breath, and Edmund picked up a dead branch and lit a torch—he had already asked Sykes for the kindling.

"Wait for a while, let the air circulate before going in." Edmund asked Lin Ke to find a wooden torch as well.

The two waited for about 10 minutes and then went in.Edmund walked in front, and Lin Ke followed him carefully.There is nothing in the first cave, just some rocks and some unnamed plants, and the bottom of the feet is wet.Lin Ke followed Edmund to the second cave.It was darker and damper there than the first one, Lin Ke already felt his shoes were soaked, he tried to point the torch down, and saw a layer of green floating matter, it looked disgusting, Edmund's voice came Come on, "Lin Ke, concentrate."

Lin Ke moved the torch up again, not paying attention to his feet. The cave looked small, but the place where the torch couldn't find it was as dark as ink, and he couldn't see anything.Turning around, Edmund was gone.

Lin Ke panicked and called out, "Edmond! Where are you?"

"I'm here!" Edmund seemed to sense his fear, and the voice came steadily, and then he took Lin Ke's other hand that was not holding the torch.Lin Ke's heart immediately settled down.

"Come closer." Edmond said loudly, and there was still an echo in the cave.

This cave was much bigger than Lin Ke had imagined, at least it was very long. They walked for another 3 minutes before Edmund stopped.

"Here we are." Edmund said.

He also took Lin Ke's torch, and together they illuminated the front.Lin Ke saw an oak box covered with a ring of iron sheets. In the middle of the lid, there was a silver medal with a coat of arms on it.The box was locked, and there were exquisite patterns on the lock.But those locks have been opened.Lin Ke stepped forward to open the lid of the box, and then he was stunned——

He was dizzy, ecstatic, and wanted to scream with excitement!But it seemed that his throat was stuck and he couldn't make a sound.He closed his eyes, and then opened them suddenly - what caught his eye was a lot of dazzling gold coins shining with golden light!Lin Ke couldn't help reaching out for those gold coins, the hands were cold, they were real, real!Lin Ke breathed out, his heart beating non-stop, Edmund stood beside him and smiled, "This is the first time I've seen this, and I'm more excited than you."

"These are all yours?"

"No, it's just a part, and it's not mine, it's ours!"

"Ah!" Lin Ke was shocked beyond words.

He stuttered again, "Ai Ai, De Meng, there is... more?"

Edmund knew his problem and patted his head, "Yes, this is one-third of it, and all the wealth belongs to the two of us, you and me." He especially emphasized that you and I Three words, and then smiled, "Little stammer." Low, with obvious doting.

"Oh." Lin Ke blushed, and he tried his best to scream out, he really had never seen so many gold coins!God!And the golden light dazzles people's eyes.How much delicious food can this buy!It can be eaten all over the world!

Seeing him pretending to be calm, Edmund took him to another dark corner, where there was also the same oak box as before, exactly the same.This time it was Edmund who opened it.

Lin Ke was ready to be blinded.

This box is divided into two parts, upper and lower layers!He saw large chunks of polished gold bars, neatly arranged, extremely attractive.The second layer is smaller than the first, but filled with precious stones pearls and diamonds.Gives off a radiant glow.Lin Ke reached out and grabbed a handful of gems, it felt great! !The guy suddenly pinched his arm and cried out in pain, "It's true! I'm not dreaming!" He jumped up, wishing he could run around the island a few times to calm himself down.

Edmund couldn't laugh or cry, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, and patted his back, "Lin Ke, please be quiet." Linko's voice shook his eardrums, and the echo of this cave was really loud.

"Oh, good." Lin Ke was quiet for a while, then asked again, "How much is this, in francs?"

Edmund frowned and thought for a while, "A lot." He told me a number, and Lin Ke converted it into RMB, and it was about ten billion!Edmond, the currency exchange, told him long ago that most of the currencies people use today are francs, gold louis, double Napoleon coins, Roman egus, piastres, Tuscan livres, etc., but people generally prefer Like francs and double Napoleons, so the value of an item is generally measured in francs.Lin Ke converted francs into RMB again. He converted according to the exchange rate between francs and RMB in the 21st century. This is definitely not standard, but it can vividly show how amazing this huge wealth is!

If you are too surprised, you can calm down.Lin Ke was like this, he was calm on the surface at least, "Are we going to take it all away this time?" So much, and brought it to their small broken boat, it made people feel confused.

Edmund stretched out his hand to brush away the hair from his eyes, "No, we only take part of it, and then we go to Genoa, we need to change the boat, and you also need a haircut."

"When we arrive in Genoa, let's have a meal first!"

"it is good."

They did not carry the treasure to the boat that night, nor did they leave the small island of Monte Cristo, but spent the night on the small island of Monte Cristo.They lighted a fire, and fell asleep at the entrance of the cave, eating bread and wine brought from the Wren.Those treasures are located in the place between them, and his mentality has been calmed before going to bed, he even happily thought that he was sleeping on a golden mountain, and it seems that his hand cramps from counting money is not a dream.
