Chapter 95: Ignore the Heartbeat
and Enter The excitement did not last long, and the bandaged man Lawson Hall had already backed out.
It’s not that the scent of the treasure is not fascinating, nor that he doesn’t have greed in his heart.
But after calming down from his excitement, he suddenly realized something.
The Dark Forest belongs to St. Marian's College.
Even if you find the treasure and dig it out, it does not belong to you.
Of course, as a veteran explorer, he has done similar things before, digging for wealth in places that do not belong to him.
But others can dig them secretly, but he, who has a family and has already appeared in the academy, is not qualified.
Unless he pretended to evacuate the academy with his family now and then ran back secretly.
But in this case, I can't support Andy anymore...
On the one hand, they are stealing treasures, but they don't know how much they can dig out, how much they can take away, and they are not even sure what the treasure is about or whether it is dangerous.
On the other hand, everything is safe and sound, and we try to maintain the non-existent family affection according to the original plan.
I was troubled all night.
The next morning, Mr. Hall, who had gotten rid of the ridiculous bandages, said to his wife, "When the teacher comes, I'll take him to the dean to act and support Andy, and then we'll go home."
"You don't dig for treasure anymore?"
The wife was surprised, "Weren't you very excited yesterday?"
"I'll think about it after this is done."
Mr. Hall said, "It's safer to be with the teacher."
This is unlikely.
Because according to his estimation, after the treasure is discovered, private explorers like him will not have much time to dig for it.
Once the academy and even the church react, they will definitely block the Dark Forest and prevent outsiders from approaching.
So, if you miss this opportunity, you miss it.
"It doesn't matter. I think this is a big problem. Even if the teacher comes, he may not be allowed to enter."
As he said this, Mr. Hall felt very sad inside.
The Explorer's abilities allow him to tell what's inside the treasure.
That's a bunch of stuff worth hundreds of times his family's wealth...
The opportunity to get rich is so close, who would resist trying to dig even if it feels wrong? If you can't dig, you will naturally feel regretful.
…
However, what happened in the next few days completely dissipated Mr. Hall's emotions.
Because the news of the treasure spread very quickly under the control of someone with ulterior motives, more and more people came to dig for the treasure! These people came from all kinds of backgrounds.
Some are ordinary residents nearby, while others are members of some secret supernatural forces.
Official agencies could not help but send teams to come, and members of the Evangelical Church gathered from all directions.
Because compared with other people, church members have more legal basis for possession of the treasure in the forest, and they feel that it cannot be taken away by others.
Although the Pope himself was not interested, he even restricted his own descendants from getting involved in this matter.
But he did not stop others in the church from rushing over.
The main approach is to wait and see.
However, the situation changed quickly.
As time went by and more people poured in, more and more treasure scents were "discovered" and more and more treasure locations were discovered.
Those direct descendants who were restrained by the Pope were becoming restless.
Openly, they did not dare to oppose the Pope's orders.
But privately, sending "private soldiers" into the forest to explore is difficult to stop...
At the same time, as the true owner of the forest, St. Marian's College did not stop this.
On the one hand, because the news spread too quickly and too many people came, the academy was caught off guard and couldn't stop them at all.
On the other hand, the college considers itself the owner of this forest.
Those people can explore now, but when the treasure is really dug out, it is impossible for them to bypass the academy and take it away privately.
Therefore, on the one hand, they deliberately seduce, and on the other hand, they can only indulge. The dark forest is full of good and bad people, and the situation is becoming more and more chaotic.
Although no one has actually fished out any treasure yet.
But faced with those treasure troves buried deep underground and with very tight defenses, no one would think that there was anything false about them.
Moreover, when using various extraordinary means to divine and predict, there was no trace of falsification.
So disputes inevitably occurred.
Fighting, killing, exploiting each other...
They dug out the treasure's burial place, but were unable to immediately pry open the treasure's protection. The stalemate naturally gave others the opportunity to scramble for it.
And because of the strangeness of this forest, it is impossible to use supernatural powers.
These conflicts therefore became extremely bloody and violent.
In just one week, the death toll had exceeded a thousand, and the number of injured was countless.
As time goes by, the number of casualties continues to rise rapidly.
Blood seeped into the forest soil. One by one, lives that should have been thriving died in this dark land, including some famous treasure hunters.
Even in local newspapers, there are more and more reports about the treasure in the Dark Forest.
"It's very unusual for the news to spread so quickly."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In St. Marian's College, Mr. Hall, who was the first to discover the scent of treasure, was now feeling grateful.
"There must be someone behind the scenes plotting to manipulate the treasure."
"Although I'm not sure of the purpose, it's definitely not a good one."
As he spoke, he glanced at Andy, who was reading a religious history book with a frown not far away.
As if he was showing off his foresight, he spoke very loudly on purpose.
"I was the first one to discover this matter and reported it to the dean, who also specifically reminded us to be cautious about this matter."
"Now it seems that the situation is indeed ..."
This is not a private environment, but a lounge in the college, with sofas, tables and chairs densely arranged, just like a restaurant.
Everything that happened outside the forest has long become the hottest topic at St. Marian's College.
Mr. Hall's words attracted the attention of the students around him, and they all seemed very interested.
Unfortunately, Andy, the person he most wanted to attract attention to, never responded.
This could not help but make Mr. Hall a little discouraged.
His previous plan was to wait for his teacher to come and support Andy, and then leave here.
But seeing that the church had not launched a blockade, his world-famous explorer teacher could not wait to dive into the forest, not bothering to pay attention to such a trivial matter...
So after being here for several days, Mr. Hall had accomplished nothing except getting Andy's promise to help, so he had to stay here temporarily.
"The teacher didn't know what was wrong. He knew something was wrong, but he still went in without hesitation..."
He sighed secretly, "Blinded by greed? He was not such a person before..."
When Mr. Hall thought of this, he didn't know that not only his teacher, but even the Pope himself couldn't help but feel greedy at this moment.
The Pope had actually put the matter behind him before.
But he couldn't stand the constant nagging in his ears.
The more treasures are discovered, the more people will talk about it.
So he couldn't help but pay attention to the situation in the Dark Forest.
This attention made the Pope realize that the matter seemed...nothing more than that? "There must be something behind this."
"I even smell greed."
When he had made up his mind, he said to his confidant: "It doesn't matter. In the face of absolute power, conspiracies and tricks will only appear ridiculous."
That's just the way it is.
Apart from the core secret that the treasure itself is fake, everything on the surface will not have any impact on the Pope at all.
Even if the treasure is lost in the end, at most it will be a waste of time.
In this case, what is there to hesitate about? ...
So the situation changed in just a few words.
With the entry of the Pope's forces, the chaos in the Dark Forest was quickly smoothed out.
In other words, all the outsiders withdrew actively or passively under the intimidation of the Holy Legion.
As a result, Andy's "Tao" was upgraded again.
