Chapter 59
Chapter 58
Koch Mountain is not close to the city of Hurghada.
Xia Zoe took Udit and others along with Samuel.
In the end, Shazoe asked Walker to tie the man closer after he stepped into Koch Mountain.
It was the evening, and the burning clouds on the horizon spread across the mountain, and the forest seemed to be covered with a thin veil, ethereal and gorgeous.
Xia Zoe sat casually on a boulder by the stream.
He stretched one leg forward, one leg bent, and his right hand wearing leather gloves rested on his knees, exposing a white wrist, which attracted the attention of others with the overlapping of dark colors.
But at this moment, no one will watch it, and no one dares to watch it.
When poor Samuel was worrying about what to eat for dinner, he was taken away by two servants dressed as soldiers who suddenly appeared and brought him to Shazoe.
Samuel was extremely depressed.
He is also very skilled, otherwise he would not dare to venture into the mountains alone.
But he did not expect that after two rounds, he was beaten to the ground, and then his hands were tied. At this moment, he was kneeling in front of the noble young master…
Samuel couldn’t help being a little nervous, not knowing where he had offended the other party.
Xia Zoe spoke lightly: “Samuel Fern.”
Samuel looked up in surprise.
How could this noble young master know his name? !
Xia Zuoyi: “Don’t you remember, we met on the ship, Dream.”
He reminded.
Samuel showed a thoughtful look on his face, and then suddenly looked at him: “You, you are…”
Although Samuel’s mind at the time was all on Duke Bill and the Dream, he just glanced at other people or objects.
But still think of the little boy who passed him on the deck, but…
Samuel glanced at Xia Zoe and then at Judith, who was clearly inferior behind him, and instantly understood that the appearance they made on the Dream was just a relationship that was pretended to be seen by outsiders.
The dominant player has always been the little boy sitting in the center.
But Samuel didn’t understand him, an honest man who only wanted to sail, where did he provoke this noble young master?
So he humbly asked for advice.
Xia Zuoyi thought that he was really interesting. Since he was tied up, he didn’t look flustered, and he was calmly trying to get out. He is indeed a man who has seen wind and waves on the sea.
He said: “Why did you come to Koch Mountain, we are why.”
Samuel: “You are also here for Duke Bill?!”
Xia Zoe: “That’s right.”
“Now, let’s talk about the reason why you came to Koch Mountain. We can talk about it, Walker, let him loosen it first.”
Walker nodded and said, ordering the soldiers to loosen the rope for Samuel.
Samuel rubbed his reddish wrist and grinned. After weighing the pros and cons, he knew that he was not qualified to bargain now.
He simply said: “You are definitely not from Hurghada, but even Hurghada must not be as clear as I know.”
“what do you know?”
“Koch Mountain is a place of special significance to Duke Bill.” Samuel said.
Xia Zoe was a little surprised.
Because neither Rodney’s notes nor the news they heard mentioned Kochshan.
Not to mention knowing what Koch Mountain is special to Duke Bill.
He is like playing a guessing game.
Although I got the answer directly, there are still hidden clues that I don’t understand.
Xia Zoe couldn’t help thinking to himself-is it because of the special nature of Koch Mountain that Duke Bill buried the treasure here?
Samuel said: “Duke Bill has not been married and had children in his entire life.”
“People say that he dedicated everything for the sake of the sea, but in fact he originally had a lover who was very in love, and the place where they met was on Mount Koch.”
Xia Zoe: “How did you know?”
Neither Koch Mountain nor Duke Bill had a lover ever mentioned, and naturally none of the news he sent to find out.
Obviously this is a hidden “Easter Egg”, a story that Duke Bill deliberately hid.
Samuel: “I have been following Duke Bill for so long and it is a normal trend to find some clues that others have missed.”
“And Duke Bill is an incredibly smart person. He blatantly left some directional marks under the eyelids of countless people.”
“Most people can’t find it, only I can find it.”
Walker couldn’t help raising his eyebrows: “Are you turning the corner and complimenting yourself for being a very smart person?”
Samuel grinned, “I am indeed.”
“And I never doubt that only I can do what Duke Bill did in the first place, I will definitely do better than him!”
Xia Zuoyi: “Go to sea to explore the new world?”
“Yes!”
Samuel’s eyes were shining with light that could not be ignored.
“But you have failed once.”
“That was just a test of mine.”
Samuel didn’t care: “If you don’t succeed once, you can come the second time, the third time…until I greet my death.”
Samuel Fern’s face is a look that blooms when he talks about dreams.
Xia Zuoyi couldn’t help but hit him and said, “If you die in Koch Mountain, how can you realize your dream?”
“If I kill you now, would you be unwilling?”
Samuel: “I can’t resist you.”
“It is really easy for you to kill me. Although I will not be reconciled that my dream has not yet been realized, I will still open my heart and go to the arms of the God of Creation. May the God of Creation bless me!”
He sat on the ground casually, watching Xia Zoe suddenly grabbed the tousled hair and smiled: “And I always think you won’t kill me.”
“I can’t answer the question honestly.”
“I just want to explore Duke Bill’s past. I don’t know what you want or what plans you have, but it will definitely not hinder you! I will definitely not say it later…”
“It’s better to forgive me…”
Xia Zuoyi didn’t make it clear.
He said: “How did you discover the clues that Duke Bill left behind?”
Samuel changed his posture and sat down: “Presumably, I follow Duke Bill’s thinking, if you want to say what is important in his life, it must be the Dream.”
“He gave up too much to build this ship, including the girl he fell in love with.”
“You can’t take a woman when you go to sea.”
“Because at sea, a woman is a disaster. Duke Bill will not give up his dream of going to sea, so he reluctantly let go of his beloved lover.”
“But he must regret this relationship, otherwise he won’t be unmarried for life.”
Samuel murmured: “Oh, there is no conflict between marrying a wife and having children and going to sea, but it’s a pity that I don’t have a woman who wants to marry now…”
Xia Zoe: “I don’t care about this.”
“…Yes, yes, I continue.”
Samuel pulled on his clothes as if he couldn’t stop: “I wonder if you have been in the cabin of the Dream?”
“No.”
“If you have been in, you will definitely see the words and patterns carved on the ship’s board or the table. There are many, many. Duke Bill likes to burn any information on his things.”
Xia Zoe couldn’t help looking at Udit and Walker.
The two nodded.
Udit said: “It’s true, but it’s all daily texts without important news…”
Samuel shook his fingers: “That’s why I said Duke Bill is a very smart and very bold person.”
“Since he loves his Dreamer the most, how could he not take a look at it and stroke its beautiful hull before leaving Hurghada.”
“So I boldly guessed that Duke Bill must have sneaked back on the ship afterwards.”
“Moreover, he left some traces in the conspicuous place on the boat, and it is these traces that guided me to pursue his previous love, to decipher the clues he actually concealed in the end!”
“The clue is Koch Mountain!”
Samuel: “I am a shipbuilder.”
“I am very familiar with the structure of the hull, and I also know how the hull or the things on the ship will change after going through the waves of the sea. I can see how the traces in the cabin are different.”
It’s just that Duke Bill is a burning maniac.
He left too many traces, and Samuel did not filter out important information until now.
**
Xia Zoe asked Samuel to proceed according to his own ideas.
They found a small wooden house that had been abandoned in the depths of the mountains and forests.
This was the place where hunters in the forest used to rest, but it was obviously useless now, but Samuel walked in and found hidden special symbols under the floor and in the corners.
Xia Zuoy recognized that this turned out to be a symbol marked on the treasure map.
He asked: “Do you know what it means?”
Samuel: “Yes, these are the symbols that Duke Bill will mark after identifying directions at sea, representing the east, southeast, southwest…”
“He burned it under the table in the cabin.”
Xia Zoe: “…”
No wonder this person would rather spend fifty silver coins to board the ship often.
Samuel was a little excited: “We just need to follow the directions indicated, and we don’t know what we will find in the end.”
He suddenly said to Xia Zoe: “You must know, right?”
Xia Zoe raised her eyebrows, noncommittal.
He hadn’t deliberately concealed anything from Samuel: “Yes, I know, and I can tell you now.”
“No, no, don’t say it!”
Samuel waved his hand in panic: “Please let me enjoy the joy of decryption.”
Xia Zoe made a please gesture.
Samuel breathed a sigh of relief and led the way.
They finally followed the directions to a cliff.
Xia Zuoy glanced at the detailed map produced by the system, and the end marked on it was in a hidden cave below the cliff.
Judit looked at Xia Zoe’s eagerness and couldn’t help but said, “Are you going to go down in person?”
Xia Zoe nodded: “Don’t worry about me, Judit.”
“You take someone to wait on it, and Walker will take me down.”
“Okay, pay attention to your safety.”
Although Udit was worried, he would not stop him against Xia Zoe’s wishes. The young eagle will always grow up. Before that, letting the lord try and fly is the best choice for him.
Of course, the premise of letting go is that the front is safe enough.
Xia Zoe slowly reached the bottom of the cliff with the help of Walker.
After careful searching, they found the hidden cave in the lush grass, but there was nothing empty inside.
“How come…” Samuel scratched his head in confusion.
Xia Zoe accidentally slammed the dagger against a part of the mountain wall, making an empty noise.
Walker looked over at once: “There is a problem with the mountain wall.”
There is indeed a problem.
Because the mountain wall was hollowed out by Duke Bill, there are hidden treasures he brought back from the continent he was exploring…
Xia Zuoy saw the ancient lithographs depicting abstract figures wearing eagle feather crests, distinctive writings, palm-sized pieces of gold…
He found a well-sealed piece of old parchment in an inconspicuous box.
098 appeared on the system interface: [Host, this is the maritime route map, does it include the system? 】
“Yes.”
[The system is being included… the bug is being repaired, please wait… the repair is complete, the sea route is updated, and the host is welcome to explore at any time. 】
After the voice of 098 fell, the system interface instantly refreshed and changed-the mist around the western continent dissipated, exposing the blue sea. There are many unmarked places on the vast sea, which were not covered by the fuzzy mosaic before being explored. Occlude.
Xia Zoe: “…”
Could it be that my future journey will be the sea of stars? !
He couldn’t help but cast his gaze on Samuel.
At this moment, Samuel turned a blind eye to the gold and gems all over the floor, but was extremely obsessed with the manuscript left by Duke Bill.
He noticed that Xia Zuoyi’s gaze was profound, and his face turned pale. Is he going to be killed?
Does he really want to run into the embrace of the God of Creation? !
Samuel couldn’t help despairing.
After all, he really did not expect that Duke Bill staying here turned out to be a coveted treasure, and such a big secret would be known to him…
This noble young master must never let him go anyway.
The flame of ecstasy when the manuscript was discovered was instantly extinguished.
Xia Zoe: “Go.”
“Please forgive me…Huh? Where to go?” Samuel couldn’t help but stunned.
