Chapter 1811 Juan Overheard Their Conversation
The three of them gathered their inner strength once again and went all out. Three seconds later, they heard a loud noise. A huge force blew them away, and one by one, they fell to the ground, the seal disappearing at the same time.
“The seal is… gone?” Elias asked as he looked at the entrance of the cave that was brightly lit by the sun.
“Yes. The seal is gone,” Frida replied while staring at the entrance as well.
At the side, a look of joy appeared on Shermaine’s face. There was a light of hope in her eyes. Without the seal, she could go inside and get the secret technique to alter Evan’s memories.
“Thank you. Thank you all!”
A riot of emotions brewed in Frida’s eyes when she saw how excited Shermaine was. She did not know if she should be happy or worried.
Is it worth it to take such a big risk just to break the seal and alter Evan’s memories for three months? Also, what will happen to her and Evan in these three months and whether she will have her way is still unknown. The seal is broken, and this place will soon be discovered by those who want the treasure. How many people will lose their lives on the way to fight for the treasure?
Gale was worried about the same things as well. There was an undecipherable look on his face. Only Elias looked calm and unbothered as if he knew that things would have a way of working themselves out.
After some time, Shermaine walked into the cave. Back then, the treasure cave had been destroyed, and the master of Daemonic Mount had obtained two books from it – one was the secret technique to alter memories, and the other was a medical book. Upon reading the first book, the master of Daemonic Mount had tried to use the method to alter a person’s memory, and he had succeeded. Later, for some reason, he had sealed the two books and stored them in the box at the entrance of the cave.
Shermaine stared fixedly at the box and walked up to it. She knew that she would get the sealed books once she opened the box.
Taking out the key that the master had placed in between the walls, she unlocked and opened the box. She was overjoyed when she saw the two books lying inside.
“I only need this one. I’m not interested in the medical book. Who needs it?”
“Let’s just leave the medical book. Just take what you need and place the box in a safe place.”
“All right.”
Shermaine nodded in agreement with Elias’ suggestion. After she took the book she needed, they left together.
Frida was worried that the place would be discovered soon. She suggested finding something to hide the entrance.
Elias let out a sigh and commented, “The more you try to hide, the faster the people will find out. I think we should just leave it. Whoever finds it is up to fate.”
“You’re right. But I think we should cover the entrance with some weeds and rocks. At least, that will hide it from ordinary people’s eyes.”
Elias smiled faintly upon hearing Gale’s suggestion. Then he left without a word.
Frida agreed with Gale. While both of them were discussing the matter, Juan overheard their conversation as he was roaming around nearby.
He was stunned for a moment. But coming back to his senses, he quickly hid behind a stone to eavesdrop on them.
“I think we should just cover the entrance with some rocks and scatter some hay or something. It will look more suspicious if we hide it too deliberately.”
“You’re right. I’ll get the guards to do it right away.”
“You need to make sure they won’t spill the beans! They can’t tell anyone that there’s a treasure in there!”
“Don’t worry about it!”
Behind a rock, Juan was shocked when he heard the conversation.
He had been looking for the hidden treasure for the past couple of days. He did not expect it to be inside the cave.
Indeed, Lady Luck was on his side.
Knowing that the guards were going to seal the cave soon, Juan decided to take a look inside before they seal it.
