Chapter 95
Indeed, it didn't take long for the bandage man, Lawson Hall, to retreat.

It's not that the aura of the treasure is not charming, nor is it that he doesn't have greed in his heart.

But after calming down from the excited state, he suddenly realized one thing.

The Dark Forest belongs to St. Marian College.

Even if he finds that treasure and digs it out, it doesn't belong to him.

Of course, digging for wealth in places that don't belong to him, as a senior explorer, he has done similar things in the past.

But others can dig it up secretly. He, who has a family and has already appeared in the academy, is not qualified.

Unless he took his family and pretended to evacuate from the academy now, and then ran back in private.

But in this way, there is no way to continue to "hold the ground" for Andy...

On the one hand, they are secretly digging for treasure, but they don't know how much they can dig out and how much they can take away. They are not even sure what is going on with the treasure and whether it is dangerous or not.

On the other side, it is safe and sound, according to the original plan, to maintain the family relationship that does not exist.

Tangled all night.

Early the next morning, Mr. Hall, freed from the ridiculous bandages, said to his wife:
"After the teacher came, I took him to put on a show with the dean to support Andy, and then we went home."

"You stopped digging for treasure?"

The wife was very surprised by this, "Weren't you very excited yesterday?"

"We'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 prediction, after the treasure appeared in the world, there was not much time left for private explorers like him to dig the treasure.

When the academy and even the church react, they will inevitably block the dark forest and prevent outsiders from approaching it.

So, this opportunity, if you miss it, you miss it.

"It doesn't matter, I think this matter is a big problem, and the teacher may not be admitted when he comes."

Saying so, Mr. Hall felt very sour in his heart.

The explorer's ability allows him to tell what's in the treasure.

That's a batch of things that are hundreds of times his family's wealth...

The opportunity to get rich is close at hand, even if it feels wrong, who would resist trying to dig it?
If you can't dig, you will naturally feel sorry.

……

However, what happened in the next few days made Mr. Hall's emotions dissipate.

Because the news of the treasure is being manipulated by people with a heart, it spreads quickly, and more and more people come to dig the treasure!
The origins of these people are varied.

Some are ordinary residents nearby, while others are staffed by some hidden supernatural forces.

The official organization did not hold back and sent a team to come, and the members of the Gospel Church gathered from all directions.

Because compared with other people, church people have more legal rationale for the possession of the treasure in the forest, and they feel that they cannot be snatched away by others.

Although the Pope himself was not tempted, he even restrained his own lineage from participating in this matter.

But he didn't stop other people in the church from rushing over.

The main one is to wait and see.

However, the situation is changing rapidly.

As time went by, as the number of people pouring in continued to increase, more and more "discovered" treasure auras, as well as the locations of treasures that were detected, also increased.

Those direct descendants restrained by the pope couldn't sit still.

On the surface, they dare not oppose the Pope's order.

But in private, sending "private soldiers" into the forest to explore is hard to stop...

At the same time, as the real master of the forest, St. Mary's College did not stop all 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 it at all.

The academy, on the other hand, considers itself the master of the forest.

Those people can explore now, but when the treasure is really dug out, it is impossible for them to cross the academy and snatch it privately.

So, on the one hand, they deliberately lured them, on the other hand, they could only indulge them. There were mixed fish and dragons in the dark forest, and the situation became more and more chaotic.

Although no one has really fished out any treasure yet.

But in the face of those treasures buried deep in the ground with very tight defenses, no one would think that there would be any falsehoods in them.

Moreover, using various extraordinary means to divination and prediction, none of them showed any trace of forgery.

So disputes inevitably occurred.

Fighting, killing, exploiting each other...

After digging out the place where the treasure is buried, but unable to pry open the protection of the treasure immediately, the stalemate naturally gave others a chance to fight for it.

And because in this forest, it is very strange that extraordinary power cannot be used.

These conflicts, therefore, became very bloody and violent.

In just one week, thousands of people died, and countless people were injured.

As time went by, the number of casualties continued to climb rapidly.

The blood seeps into the land of the forest, and one by one, the life that should have been extremely vigorous has died in this dark land one after another, and there are many famous treasure hunters among them.

Even in the local newspapers, there are more and more reports about the treasures of the dark forest.

"It's not normal for news to spread so quickly."

In St. Marian's College, Mr. Hall, who was the first to discover the aura of treasure, was feeling lucky at this moment.

"There must be someone behind the plot to manipulate the treasure."

"Although the purpose is not sure, it must be malicious."

As he spoke, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at Andy, who was reading a religious history book not far away, frowning.

As if showing off his foresight, he also spoke loudly on purpose.

"I was the first to discover this matter, and reported it to the dean, and I also specially reminded to be cautious when dealing with this matter."

"Now it seems that the situation is indeed..."

This place is not a private environment, but a rest room of the college, where sofas, tables and chairs are densely arranged, like a restaurant.

What happened outside the forest has long been the hottest topic at St. Marian College.

So Mr. Hall's words attracted the attention of the surrounding students, each of them seemed very interested.

Unfortunately, as the person he most wanted to attract attention, Andy never responded to this.

This can't help but make Mr. Hall a little discouraged.

His previous plan was to wait for his teacher to come and support Andy before leaving here.

But seeing that the church did not launch a blockade, his world-renowned explorer teacher rushed into the forest impatiently, not bothering to pay attention to such trivial matters...

So after coming for several days, Mr. Hall, who hadn't done anything except get Andy's promise to help, could only stay here temporarily.

"Teacher doesn't know what's wrong. He clearly knew something was wrong, but he didn't hesitate to drill in..."

He sighed secretly, "Blinded by greed? He was not such a person before..."

When thinking this way, Mr. Hall didn't know, not to mention his teacher, even the Pope himself couldn't help feeling 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 who chatter.

So he couldn't help paying attention to the situation in the dark forest.

And this attention made the Pope realize that things seemed... nothing more than that?
"There must be something inside."

"I even smell greed."

When he had a decision in his mind, he said to his confidant: "But it doesn't matter, in the face of absolute power, conspiracy and tricks will only appear ridiculous."

That's how it is.

Except for the core secret that the treasure itself is false, everything on the surface will not have any influence on the Pope at all.

Even if the treasure fails in the end, it will be a waste of work at best.

In this case, why hesitate?
……

So the situation changed in these few words.

With the entry of the pope's forces, the chaos in the dark forest was quickly smoothed out.

In other words, under the deterrence of the holy legion, all the idlers left the scene actively or passively.

As a result, Andy's "Tao" has been upgraded again.
