[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r110

Edmund and Mei Tess hugged tightly, as if they had forgotten the fact that they had just discovered the treasure of Spada, and that there was another living person in the treasure cave besides them.

Vampa stood there uncomfortably, not knowing whether he should move towards the entrance of the cave, or stay there quietly, making no noise so as not to disturb them.If he hadn't known that his eldest was a woman, he would have been surprised by this scene.

It can be seen that Plum Tess loves this man very much, and this man seems to have the same feelings for her.Although Vampa felt vaguely that his elder brother would leave Rome when he had found happiness, he was heartily happy for her.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps at the entrance of the cave.Haidee came in first, and seeing Vampa shake his head and put his hand over his mouth in a "shh" motion, she immediately understood what he meant.She retreated softly, but bumped into the chest of the man holding the torch behind her, and couldn't help yelling "ah".

Edmund and Mei Tess parted reluctantly, as if realizing their previous gaffe, they turned their faces away in unison.

"Haidee, why are you here?" Mei Tess asked suspiciously.

"You have been away for a long time, I was very worried, so I told the crew of the Matthew, and came here by myself." Haide explained, "I thought I could find you before sunset, but I got lost on the mountain The road, this person brought me here."

The person who followed Haiide in was Busani. Obviously, he also saw the scene just now, but there was no obvious expression change on his face.

Although his doubts about Mei Tess are still not eliminated, after Edmund and her have gone through so many hardships and finally meet here, Busani can't help but begin to believe that there is indeed destined love in the world.

They then proceeded to dispose of the bodies of the two robbers, whom Maisétes had proposed burying on the spot, but Busoni insisted on throwing them into the sea so as not to defile the place.

After Busoni and Edmund left with the corpse on their backs, Melissa Tess was a little worried about Vampa, after all, those two had been his subordinates for a long time.

She found his place and tried to comfort him, but Vampa shrugged nonchalantly, "Actually, I didn't feel sad for their betrayal. When I killed Gu Gu Mi Tuo, they didn't hesitate to entrust me." As the boss, now they are betraying for money, I can completely understand."

"That's exactly what I want to tell you." Plum Tess's amber eyes sparkled, "Actually, I always knew that you are different from them. That song is right, what treasures can bring Only blood and fire, and only a noble heart can tame it. You have passed its test, which shows that your heart is still sincere and kind. Vampa, don't you think about leaving those robbers one day?"

"I did have some unrealistic dreams, that was when I was a child. Everyone will have some naive ideas at that time, but the cruel reality will always make them understand that they are all unrealistic", Wampa spread his hands, "What else can I do now but robbers?"

"Vampa, I heard your story when you were in the tomb of San Sebastian. You have had a great enthusiasm for learning since you were a child. You learned to read from a kind priest, and later you used a Grind a long nail into an iron pen, copied it from a prayer book borrowed from a priest, and learned to write again." Mei Tess smiled, "I have never seen any robber do that to "Memoirs of the History of Caesar" I am interested in your book, you are a man with great ambitions, and I believe that one day you will realize your ambitions."

"But when will that day come?" Vampa folded his hands and sighed slightly.

"I once saw a sentence, although I can't remember where I read it, but I think it makes sense," Mei Tess pondered for a while, "All human wisdom is contained in two In the words, that is waiting and hope."

Vampa lowered his head, contemplated for a few seconds, and finally raised his head, "I understand."

When they returned to the treasure cave together, Edmund and Busani had already temporarily set up a stone table with stone slabs.And those treasures that were originally piled on the ground have also been cleared back to the original cabinet by them.

Plum Tess, realizing that it was time to deal with the treasure, sat at the other end of the table.But Vampa was unwilling to sit down and insisted on standing beside her, guarding him like a guard.Haiidee, on the other hand, looked at the furnishings in the cave curiously, while listening to them quietly.

"Captain Sinbad, this wealth was left to you by your father, and I just discovered it by accident based on the riddle he left behind," Mei Tess explained, "Now, it is time for the property to return to its original place." It's time for the Lord."

When the priest was mentioned again, Edmund only felt a bitterness in his heart. He felt ashamed that he did not fully believe what Father Faria said at the beginning.The treasure of Spada does exist, and the priest told him the location of the treasure in the form of riddles. Fortunately, Melti solved the riddle. In other words, he should be glad that the person who solved the mystery was Melti. .

"Mel, anyway, you discovered the treasure first," Edmund said sincerely, "I hope to share this wealth with you."

"No, I can't..." Plum Tess shook her head.

"Don't rush to refuse," Edmund said with a smile, "Mel, maybe you don't know what happened during the time you left. Just a few years ago, our Nemesis was bombed and sunk, The culprit is the Duke of Buckingham. For this reason, I am determined to take revenge on the Duke of Buckingham. And Busani has already told me that the Duke is also your enemy..."

Plum Tess immediately glanced at Busani.Bushani's eyes seemed to be ashamed, avoiding her gaze.

"Mel, I hope you can stay and help me," Edmund continued, "With this wealth, we can completely bring down the Duke of Buckingham."

"How shall we do it?" Mei Tess asked curiously.

"In the past few years, I have been working hard to find out the power of the Duke of Buckingham in the European continent. After my joint investigation with Busoni, we found that he has laid three chess pieces in France, one in the judicial circle, one in the military and political circles, And one in the business world."

"Who are they?" Plum Tess frowned tightly.

"The one in the business world is Danglars, a great banker in Paris. Among the three people, he has the least close connection with the Duke of Buckingham. He only has some business contacts," Busoni explained, "but probably because The duke admired his dastardly talent and once helped him take down a rival."

Mei Tess is quite surprised that the Duke of Buckingham has a connection with Danglars.Not enough. In her opinion, with the duke's arrogance, it is impossible to look at someone like Danglars. He can only look at interests, and the relationship between these two people is only limited to interests. up.

"What about the one in the military and political circles?" Mei Tess asked again.

"At first, the Duke of Buckingham was looking for Colonel Nargona in Paris, but the colonel caught up with the Russians and wanted to get rid of his control. Later, the colonel died inexplicably on the ship returning to France from Great Britain. I don't know if that had anything to do with Buckingham, but after that, he switched targets.

Edmund looked at Haidee who was not far away. In fact, when he saw her with Mei Tess, he guessed her identity. "That person may have something to do with Princess Haidee."

Hearing the strange man in front of him reveal his identity, Haiide was startled at first, then walked over and sat on the last empty seat in front of the table, "Sir, please don't call me a princess, I am no longer a princess .”

"Yes, Miss Haidee."

"If my guess is correct, that person is the Count of Paris de Morcerf, right?" Haiidee narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Yes, when Morcerf returned to France from Greece, besides taking a large fortune, he brought back a woman, and they were married soon after," explained Edmund, "and that woman was The Duke of Buckingham got it, and he relied on her to keep Morcerf in check."

Mei Tess felt nothing but irony when she heard this unexpected news.At the beginning, Fernand kept saying that he loved her, but he didn't expect to marry another woman in the blink of an eye.

"How is that man now?" asked Haidee eagerly.

"With the secret help of the Duke of Buckingham, he entered Parliament," replied Edmund.

"No, the place where he should go most is the cell!" said Haiidee excitedly.From the flame of hatred flickering in her eyes, it could be seen that she hated the traitor so intensely that it was like the flame of blazing iron burning in her brain.

"Haidee, believe me, that person will be punished as he should." Mei Tess gently held her hand, "Let's hear who the last person is."

"That person is the prosecutor Villefort of Paris. He has always had a high status in the judicial circle, and he can always maintain his status with a straight attitude, but no one would have thought that he was the first to seek refuge with foreigners," Busoni sneered He said, "At that time, the Bourbon dynasty could be restored, and Britain also contributed a lot, so shortly after Louis XVIII returned home, the Duke of Buckingham visited Paris briefly, and Villefort probably picked him up at that time. "

In fact, Busoni and Villefort had never met before, but the Duke of Buckingham threw him into the Château d'If many years ago, and it was the Count of Artois who ordered him to sign, so he hated this person no more than Edmund less.

As for Villefort being able to catch up with the Duke of Buckingham, Mei Tess is not surprised, it was Villefort who gave her to the Duke in the first place.He must have never imagined that she, who was reborn from Nirvana under the Duke of Buckingham, would turn into a star in the dark night and return to Paris to avenge him.

She folded her hands, "I understand what you mean. We are going to Paris to deal with those three people, deal with the chess pieces that the Duke of Buckingham has set up in France, and disrupt his layout in Europe."

"That's right," Edmund nodded.

"But in what capacity are we going to Paris?" Maisette asked suspiciously.

"I will pretend to be Father Busoni," said Busoni, taking out a silver cross from his arms. "In Paris, some nobles met the Duke of Buckingham, and he looks exactly like me. But that It was many years ago when I would wear a priest hat and a fake beard and no one would recognize me."

"But if you use this name, aren't you afraid of suspicion from the Duke of Buckingham?" Mei Tess asked suspiciously.

"The Christian name is safe and only my mother knows it," Busani explained.

Mei Tess thought for a few seconds, "Then I'll pretend to be an English lord, go to France to do some investment business, and by the way get involved in the social circle of Parisian aristocrats. Captain, how about you? I think you may need a louder name."

"Actually, I've already thought of one," Edmund said with a stern smile, "The Count of Monte Cristo!"
