Eagle’s Glory

Under Aiglon's order, the sailors maneuvered the sailboat close to the small island of Monte Cristo.

Then, just like when they boarded the ship, two small boats were put down on the boat. The sailors rowed the boats and took Aigron, Chanel and Brother Louis to the beach, while the others stayed on the boat temporarily.

In order to prevent accidents, they also brought weapons and gunpowder on the boat.

The feeling of setting foot on land again made Aigron, who had been suffering from seasickness all day, feel much relieved. He raised his head and looked at the small island he had just set foot on.

Monte Cristo Island is only a small island of about ten square kilometers, but because the center of the island is a mountain that blocks the view, it feels larger than it actually is.

On the mountainside, wild goats shuttled between them, gnawing on the weeds in the rock crevices, and in the gaps between the mountain peaks, the outline of the abandoned monastery was also looming.

It was already April, and the goddess of spring had not only arrived on the European continent, but also on this small Mediterranean island. The grass and moss on the island were already lush.

Looking around, the dim yellow soil, white and brown rocks and light green vegetation form a beautiful mosaic picture.

And this place will soon be yours.

Aigron raised his hand leisurely and pointed to the top of the mountain.

"This is a gift from God. I will never feel the pain of being dependent on others again. From now on, I only have to fight for myself!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chanel echoed her master in a trembling voice. "From now on we will only serve you."

When she thought about what she had experienced over the past year, she now had mixed emotions and was so excited that she almost cried.

When she was young, she experienced the pain of having her whole family wiped out. She finally managed to escape from France and had to live under someone else's roof to serve others. How had she ever seen hope in her life? The belief that supported her to continue living was nothing more than a desire for revenge.

Who would have thought that in the end she would have her luck turn around again, and come to a foreign court as a dowry for Princess Sophie, find the only person in the world who could avenge her, and eventually become his follower?

For her, the ups and downs in this life, in exchange for such a result, can be comforting for the rest of her life. Even her parents in heaven will feel happy to see today.

From now on, she no longer has to taste the pain of being displaced. She has found a destination for her life - to follow His Majesty until the end of her life.

Seeing the performance of the two people, the Louis brothers looked at each other without making a sound, and there was some sigh in their eyes.

Soon, Aigron woke up from his emotion.

Now is not the time to be complacent, the road has just begun.

Eggron picked up the rifle, then loaded it methodically, then raised the muzzle and aimed at the goat in the distance.

The ignorant goats were still gnawing on weeds among the rocks, not feeling the imminent death at all.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the goat was shaken by the kinetic energy of the bullet, and then slowly fell to the ground.

"Wonderful!" Louis clapped, and then he also picked up the gun and shot at the goat in the distance.

In this way, the first thing Aigron and his group did after arriving on the island was to start hunting.

While shooting, they walked up the mountain along the stone steps that were completely covered with moss, towards the abandoned monastery in the mountain.

Soon they climbed the mountainside and came to the gate of the monastery.

Although this place has been uninhabited for two or three centuries, because it is a stone and brick building, it can still maintain its original structure. Only a few places have collapsed and collapsed, exposing large gaps. There are wild flowers and weeds dotted between the stone walls, unknown insects crawling around, and even snakes.

There is a desolate mottled look of ruins everywhere.

"It seems that this place needs to be well repaired before people can live in it." Louis couldn't help but shook his head.

"It doesn't matter,

Anyway, we have plenty of time. "Aigron replied, "Anyway, the route here is convenient. We can buy living materials through smugglers and then renovate this place. Although it is not necessary to renovate it into a palace, it should be made comfortable for everyone. "

"Yeah, let's continue to live on the boat recently. Anyway, there is no need to worry." Louis nodded approvingly.

After that, they looked around and shot and hunted, which seemed to be leisurely.

However, the time soon reached the afternoon, and the four of them were a little hungry.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go back first?" Charlie asked. "Anyway, I've seen enough of it today, and I'll continue to clean it up on the island tomorrow."

Aegron did not answer immediately, but frowned slightly.

Then, he suddenly looked at Louis, walked to his side, and whispered in his ear. "Having been seasick for a day is really uncomfortable for me. I'll rest here for a while. You can go back to the ship first... By the way, bring back the two goats we killed as our extra meal tonight. Chanel and I are here Continue to hunt here, and continue to stroll around. You don’t have to wait for me, we just need to eat some dry food now, and the sailors will come to pick me up at night.”

Aigron pointed at the hunted goats in the distance, and then lowered his voice, "By the way, I plan to have a good time here and have a good rest, but there is really no private space on that boat, and I'm really annoyed!" "

Louis was stunned for a moment, and then finally managed to control himself from smiling.

"Okay, Your Majesty." He gave Aiglon a very understanding look, "Then let's go back first. You and Chanel are here... have a good time, and come back for dinner in the evening."

"Thank you." Aigron nodded and praised the other party's "sensibleness".

Louis whistled and glanced at Chanel.

Shanel immediately blushed and retreated behind Aigron, not daring to look at His Highness.

Louis also knew in his heart that Chanel was the maid brought by His Majesty from Austria and had always been by his side. The relationship between the two was extraordinary and they could never be treated as ordinary servants, so he was not surprised by Aigron's words.

He winked at Aeglon. "Your Majesty, take care of yourself. Let's leave first so as not to disturb your pleasure of hunting. You have been seasick for so long, it's time to 'relax'."

The two brothers looked at Chanel with strange smiles, then turned and left, leaving Aiglon and Chanel behind.

Although the two of them had left, Shanel still blushed and lowered her head without daring to speak.

"Chanel, I'm sorry, I had to find a reason to convince them and get them away." Aiglon shrugged. "It's making you tired."

"It's okay, Your Majesty, I'm happy to cooperate with your plan!" Chanel replied in a low voice, "Even if you really need it..."

She stopped talking at this point, "Okay, let's go!"

So, the two men walked out of the ruins of the monastery with guns in hand.

As he walked, Aiglon looked around.

Although he looked calm and confident on the surface, he was not so stable in his heart.

In fact, even though he had arrived on the island of Monte Cristo, he could not completely conclude that the treasure really existed - his only theoretical guidance was the book "The Count of Monte Cristo" that he had read.

What if the so-called plot doesn't exist at all? What if Morsef's existence was just a pure coincidence? What if the so-called "treasure" is just my imagination?

If these are true, then all his efforts will be in vain, and his plan will surely suffer a major setback.

He didn't want to see such a result.

In addition, even if the treasure exists, can he really guarantee that he will find it today?

Today is the best opportunity. He won't be able to send everyone away so naturally in the future. He can't always say that he wants to have a good time alone with Chanel. His cousins ​​will definitely become suspicious.

It's like throwing a dice into a bowl and you only see the points when you open the bowl.

The agony of waiting is truly excruciating.

"Your Majesty...are you scared?" Chanel seemed to feel the torment in his heart, and then leaned against him, "Actually, I have also thought about it. After so many years, someone might have stolen the treasure first. Gone, after all, not everyone will always remain loyal... However, I feel that even if the treasure has been discovered, it is just a small regret. It is an unexpected surprise for you and it is of great help. ; But if not, you are still our majesty and my master... You are not followed by me because of your wealth. I firmly believe that you will have an empire that is thousands of times more valuable than treasure!"

Chanel's comfort made Aiglon suddenly feel relieved.

Yes, he has experienced the worst situation so far. He couldn't help doing anything while behind bars. Now that he has escaped, he has bottomed out.

Regardless of whether there is treasure or not, he has already made a lot of money no matter what, so what is there to be afraid of?

Okay... let's open the cup and take a look at the points. Is fate giving me a gift, or is it playing a vicious joke on me?

No matter what, I have to win.

With the courage inspired by him, Aigron relied on his memory to follow a secret path to the island and the mountain gorge. Finally, he saw a small stream.

They walked along the stream, and then discovered that the stream secretly led to a small bay. The middle of the bay was deep and the opening was wide. A small sailboat that had decayed to the point of being almost unrecognizable was hidden inside, covered by vines and Covered in moss, it is completely invisible from the outside.

After confirming this discovery, Aigron's heart beat suddenly.

Right! Everything is right!

He restrained his ecstasy, then looked along the stream, and finally saw a large rock at the bottom of the gorge. The rock was very large and rolled down the side slope to where it is now. Next to the large round rock, there is a large stone. This large stone must have been used as a cushion to withstand the rolling force of the large boulder. Many stone flakes and pebbles were stuffed around the rock to cover it up. It was covered with more soil, and wild grass grew out of the soil. Moss covered the stone surface, and myrtle took root there, so that the big stone seemed to be deeply rooted in the ground.

As written in the original work, it really exists!

Then there was no need to hesitate. Aigron leaned down, ready to peel off the last disguise, and saw the small earth wall.

In the original work, the protagonist used a pickaxe to dig out the soil and walls. Aiglon and Chanel did not have such handy tools, so they could only smash them with gun butts. Fortunately, this time they had two people, So their speed doesn't seem to be slow,

After ten minutes of their effort, the wall gave in and was smashed through 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 scattered rubble brought smoke and dust, and a lot of small insects escaped from the hole in the smoke. Then a big snake that seemed to be protecting the 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, with a cry, the barrel of the gun bent slightly, and the big stone rolled to the side. A circular space appeared where the big stone stayed, with a square stone slab in the middle and an iron plate on it. ring.

"Haha...hahahaha...!" The young man could no longer control his mood, he looked up to the sky and laughed arrogantly.

Obviously, no one has been here since the stone was pressed here, which means that the treasure must still be lying there, waiting for the arrival of a new owner.

Because he was a little overexerted just now, Aigron's legs were shaking all the time, his heart was beating fast, and even his eyesight was a little blurry.

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 open, revealing an underground cave with a staircase-like entrance. The stone steps continued downward until they disappeared into the darkness.

"Let's go in!" Aigron looked around, once again confirmed that no one else was present, and then made a gesture with high spirits.

They walked down the stone steps and came to the cave. Unexpectedly, the cave was not dark. Light penetrated through the cracks in the rocks. These could not be seen outside the cave, but when they arrived inside the cave, they could not see it. Through them you could see the blue sky, the ivy, the tendrils and the branches and leaves of wild grass growing in the cracks in the rocks.

The air inside is not humid, but rather warm.

There was nothing at the bottom of the cave, only bare rock walls, but Aigron was not afraid of anything now. He tapped the cave wall with the butt of his gun, carefully looked among the rocks, and listened to the echo from the cave wall.

Soon, he found the hollow wall.

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

He smashed hard with the butt of his gun until he finally made a small passage. At this time, his body was covered with white mud, but he didn't notice it.

I have to clean it up for His Majesty later... Chanel next to me thought to herself.

But they couldn't care about that much at the moment, and the two people walked into the second cave along the narrow entrance.

Because there were no gaps for air to circulate here, there was a rancid smell inside. They waited for a while to let the air inside change before going in again.

With the help of firelight, they found that there was still nothing in the cave, only bare rock walls everywhere.

But Aigron didn't hesitate at all. He walked to the left side of the cave entrance, stepped hard on the dark and deep corner. He heard a dull thud.

This is it...

Aigron felt his heart beating wildly, but he still suppressed his excitement, called out to Chanel, and dug up a piece of ground together.

They saw an oak money chest covered with a layer of chipped iron. In the center of the lid, he saw a piece of silver inlaid with emblems and weapons engraved on it, and above the emblem was a pattern of a cardinal's hat.

In the center of the money chest, 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 that poor man, who came to the island in panic and bury his property, imagine that he would become a great patron of an emperor?

Thank you, stranger.

Aigron suppressed his whims and aimed his gun at the lock on the cash box.

"boom!"

Amid the wail of metal, the lock shook violently, but did not break.

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

He handed his rifle to Chanel and asked her to load it with the pellets he carried, and then he took out the pistol he had always carried.

"boom!"

Suo seemed to be possessed by the ghost of the cardinal. He was still resisting tenaciously and did not show any surrender to the prince who came from afar.

It doesn't matter... I will make you suffer the most terrible pain until you surrender.

Eggron took the rifle that had been reloaded and fired another shot at the chain.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Just after several consecutive gunshots, the big lock finally couldn't match the power of human invention, and broke with a creaking sound.

You're mine... finally mine!

Aigron leaned down, grabbed the rusty and rotten ring with his hand, and then shouted.

"Open sesame!"

As he shouted, he pulled up hard.

The dust dispersed, and the radiance of the stars in the sky fell on the young man, as if giving him a golden halo of blessing.
