"Hey, wait a minute, Reiner! Put that knife down!"
"No, it's mine now! If you have the ability, grab it yourself!"
"Bastard! Stop messing around! Wait for me!"
Celil accelerated his steps and flew towards Leiner, just in time to suppress him from behind. The flaxen-haired boy staggered suddenly, and the two of them rolled down the hillside and fell back to the long-dead double-headed python.
"Oh shit! My knife!"
Leiner struggled to push away Celil who was pressing him, and he couldn't help shivering when he saw the corpse of the giant python.
No one expected that three days ago, he and Celil went to explore the uninhabited corner of Cocoroni Treasure Island, and found that the so-called "killing basilisk of Treasure Island" had died in its lair middle. In addition, the two also found several treasures in its belly, including the dagger of the legendary great pirate Gould Spirat.
The hide of the basilisk fetched a good price, so when they saw that the two-headed serpent was dead, two brave boys jumped into its lair, and with torches and brimstone they drove away several of them. The little snake, without hesitation, began to pull out the small knife he carried with him to dissect the body of the basilisk.
But when they cut open its belly, apart from the white bones of a few wild beasts falling out, they also found a lot of shiny things in the black filth in the basilisk's belly.
Reiner ignored the nausea, and excitedly wanted to reach out to touch it, but was stopped by Celil.
"Caution, may be corrosive."
Reiner muttered how could it be, Celier glanced at his companion, then directly took out a coin from his pocket, and threw it into the black filth.
Under Leiner's gaze, the moment the coin fell in, the tin on the surface made a "creaking" sound like burning, and soon the shape of the coin became distorted. Seeing this, Reiner gasped, and quickly withdrew his hand in fright.
"Damn... I didn't wear rubber gloves when I came out... Hey Sely, what can I do?"
Reiner muttered looking at those glittering gold things, his face full of dissatisfaction. At this moment, the treasure was right in front of him, and he really didn't want to go back. The terrain of Cocoroni Island was complicated, and it took them two full days just to come to this place.
"Easy, look at me."
Celil grinned at the flaxen-haired boy, then turned and walked away. Under Reiner's gaze, he walked to the woods not far away and broke off a few thick branches, and when he came back, he rummaged directly at the pile of filth,
"So it can be like this! You are so fucking smart!" Reiner exclaimed, and suddenly realized that he slapped his head.
"Shut up, can you really inherit your pirate group if you are so stupid?"
"Get out! I'm not stupid! Feed me a branch, and I'll come and look for it together."
Looking at his enthusiastic friend, the red-haired boy couldn't help but sneered slightly. He casually threw the braided pigtails behind his shoulders, and stuffed the wooden branch in his hand to Reiner, and threw it on the ground next to him. Si: "Then you turn it over, I'll watch for you to make sure there are no little snakes to bite your ass."
"Get lost! Don't be lazy! Otherwise, what you find will not be shared with you!"
Even so, Reiner deftly picked out those shining things from the black filth—a string of gold chains and an inconspicuous short knife. These two things were covered with black residue, but they were not corroded. Celier turned on the kettle and poured water on the excavated things. After most of the filth covering them was washed away, they finally revealed their original colors.
"We look like we're going to get rich!"
After washing away the dirt, the string of gold chains immediately exuded a beautiful luster, and Reiner was about to pick it up excitedly, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed the dagger next to him.
"There seems to be something engraved on it... Hey Sely, come and see!"
Reiner hurriedly beckoned to Celil, and Celil squatted down when he saw this. He picked up the short knife and checked it, and found that at the bottom of the handle, there was a string of what seemed to be some kind of person. The common alphabet of the name.
[Gold Spillard]
The two teenagers opened their eyes wide at the same time, and Reiner exclaimed.
"Damn it! Spirat! This is the stuff of that legendary pirate!!"
"Indeed, but why did it appear here..."
Compared to the indescribably excited Reiner, Celier was much calmer. They almost ignored the heavy gold chain. The two passed the dagger to each other, and then looked at each other in silence for a moment.
"It's really a big pirate's thing..." Reiner looked excited like never before, "This guy didn't leave anything behind, he was buried in the deep sea with his ship... I didn't expect that we could still be on the island Find the knife he used! Ah! Let's look through it again! Will we still find the treasure map where he buried his treasure!"
"Stop dreaming then." Celil snorted and said with a light smile.
"Hey! Anyway, the gold pendant belongs to you, and Spirat's knife belongs to me, so it's decided!"
Reiner touched the knife as if it were a treasure, as if he could become a great pirate in the future if he got the great pirate's knife. Celier looked at his friend a little amusedly, but suddenly, Celier vaguely noticed that the pattern on the handle of the knife seemed a little weird.
It's not just a decorative pattern, it's more like something more important is hidden in it.
"Wait for Reiner... let me see the knife first."
"What? Do you want this knife too?" Reiner jumped up when he heard that, and immediately hid the knife behind his back, looking at Celil with some vigilance, "No! Now it's mine!"
"I didn't want this knife." Celil frowned impatiently, and reached out to Reiner, "Here, I just borrowed it to take a look."
"I don't believe you! Sely, you bastard has been grabbing my things." Reiner slowly stepped back a few steps, and he arched his body slightly, like an aggressive cat, "Whether it is Everything will be taken away by you, even the chick I have a crush on likes you! Let me tell you first, this knife will never be given to you!"
"Idiot, I said I didn't want to steal your knife." Celil shrugged helplessly, "I just want to tell you... Hey! Wait for Reiner!"
At this time, Leiner suddenly turned around and ran away. Seeing this, Celier cursed and immediately chased after him. Leiner quickly climbed up the hillside, but Celier was faster, and he ran a few steps After that, he rushed over directly from behind, dragging Reiner tightly, and the two rolled down the hillside together.
...
"You beast!"
Seeing that the knife he longed for had been held in Celier's hand to observe, Reiner sat down on the ground unwillingly, and stared angrily at the red-haired back.
It's so frustrating! I really want to cut this bastard's pigtails off!
"You're too impatient, Reiner, and you said you were just letting me see." Celil gave him a helpless look, squatted down together, stretched out his hand to hook Reiner's neck, and brought the knife in front of him.
Seeing the knife in front of him, Reiner reached out to grab it, and Celier immediately raised his hand: "Don't worry."
"What on earth do you want, bastard!" Reiner was furious.
"Have you noticed the pattern on it?" Celil hooked Reiner's neck, pointing to the strange pattern carved on it.
"Nonsense, of course I noticed." Reiner said angrily, "That great pirate has a bit of a unique taste, but is there a problem?"
"That's right." Celil raised his chin and said thoughtfully, "As a decoration, it's a little strange. The general carvings are symmetrical and beautiful, but the patterns on this one have no rules to follow. and… "
He pointed to a pattern as he said, and drew an outline with his fingers according to its direction: "Look here, does it look like the shape of the piranha lake on the north bank forest side?"
"... You said that, it's really a little bit!" Reiner was a little surprised, "Could it be that this thing is..."
Celil nodded and did not deny his companion's guess: "I suspect it is a treasure map. It is rumored that before going out to sea for the last time, Spirat said that he buried the treasure somewhere on the island. He must have left a clue .If this knife is something he used in his lifetime, then the real treasure is likely to be hidden in the secrets hidden in these glyphs."
"Hey, what you said is indeed very possible." Reiner suddenly got excited and asked excitedly, "But this kind of map is not easy to interpret, we have to study it carefully."
"I don't know what secrets are hidden in it. Let's rub the engravings on it when we go back."
"That's right, don't let other people know."
The unhappiness just now was immediately forgotten by Leiner. When Celil returned the knife to him, Leiner pushed it back quite simply: "Leave this in your place."
"Oh? Can you? Don't you want this knife very much?" Celil looked at him with raised eyebrows, "You are not afraid that I will take it for yourself."
"Idiot, don't I know you yet?" Reiner glared at him, "I still believe in your bastard's character. Although you are a bastard, you still don't bother to do this kind of thing... Oh, it's annoying, anyway I can’t understand it either, you just take it and study it.”
"...I said, Reiner."
"What?"
"... Are you really stupid enough to inherit your Calamus Pirates?"
"Go away! I'm just a little slow in this aspect! Besides, I'm stupid!" Reiner seemed quite impatient with you.
Celil smiled: "Really... Although I want to say don't trust me too much, but seeing you like this, I can't let you down."
"Come on, you're so disgusting, bastard! Just don't grab the girl I like." Reiner waved his hand impatiently, hooking Celil's neck with an unhappy expression, but said ambitiously , "If these glyphs can really help us find the treasure left by the great pirate, then we will share it equally. At that time, we will unify the pirate groups here!"
"Okay." Celil pursed his lips, raised his hand and touched Reiner's fist, leaving an agreement between them, "Then let's say that."
The author has something to say: Seril used to have a bunch of braids. Needless to say, everyone should know that Jiyou will definitely die, right? When Jiyou died, he cut off his own hair.
About two-thirds of the story has progressed, and we will give everyone a last chance to protest and choose, and then they will completely enter the opponent's line. There is really no way to change the hero.
Oh, by the way, this is not a side story, this is the dream he is currently in.
