Crowley broke the surface of the water, and the water trickled down his hair.He raised his hand to brush away the hair that was stuck in front of his eyes, and when he raised his eyes, he met a pair of eyes that were widened in shock.

Margaret stood by the pool like a plaster statue, her eyes fixed on the two vampires.Crowley looked down at himself subconsciously. The only thing that could be called covering his body was the waist-deep pool of water, and the water surface that was too clear seemed out of place at this time.

The girl's shut-down brain seemed to be working at this moment, as if a blood-like flush could float on her cheeks, Margaret covered her eyes and let out a scream: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The high-pitched voice startled a group of birds in the jungle, and almost at the same time, another exclamation comparable to it sounded from behind Crowley: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Looking at Ferid who was hiding behind him and hugged his waist tightly, Crowley sighed helplessly, "What's your name..."

"Being seen all over, people are shy." Looking up slightly, Ferid actually showed a slightly shy smile.

Before Crowley could figure out how to answer him, Margaret peeked between her fingers and asked, "Oh, my God, what are you doing in the water?"

"Taking a bath, it's uncomfortable to be soaked in seawater." Ferid replied as a matter of course, "Don't you think so?"

Ferid's words made Margaret tug at her wet clothes, and she had to say that someone really understood the girl's thoughts, but Margaret shook her head quickly and asked them: "Where is the bath? Do I have to dive into the water for so long? No, anyway, come up and put on my clothes!"

"No, my clothes aren't dry yet." As he spoke, Ferid pointed to the clothes he had baked by the fire.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Accompanied by some anxious questions, another figure emerged from the woods.Judging from Neil's expression, the pirate leader should have heard the two soprano voices just now.The scene by the pool made the pirates stop abruptly, and they patrolled back and forth several times in astonishment, looking dazed.

Crowley sighed, stepped out of the pool and bent over to pick up his clothes.Being dragged into the pool by Ferid without warning, he didn't even have time to put his clothes on the fire.Touching the still damp cloth, Crowley simply began to put them back on his body one by one - anyway, they couldn't dry in a short time.While moving, the red-haired vampire looked at the two humans. It seemed that they were swept to the island together by the waves.This is already much more optimistic than he originally expected, after all, there are two more grain reserves to choose from.

Perhaps because he shouldn't think too much about food, Crowley couldn't help feeling hungry again, his eyes fixed on the blood vessels hidden under Margaret's skin, and he made a slight swallowing sound as his throat moved.

And this was caught by Ferid without any accident. The silver-haired vampire was still leaning naked by the pool, and jokingly said: "Oh, staring at the lady, you really are a pervert."

When Margaret heard this, she immediately clutched her chest tightly, and the wet clothes stuck to her body, exposing the curves of her body.

Crowley withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Ferid with a helpless look, "You know I'm not interested in women." At least that's true after becoming a vampire.

Ferid nodded perfunctorily, and said in a protracted tone mockingly: "Hmm~ Who told you to be a chaste Templar?"

Margaret's eyes turned from Crowley, who had just put on clothes, to Ferid in the water, and then from Ferid to Crowley. She didn't know what to think, and her face was flushed again, and she murmured: "Chastity? Why don't I think so?"

Ferid laughed loudly when he heard the words, turned his head to the red-haired vampire and said, "Look, Crowley, everyone thinks you are a pervert."

"Really, I don't care about you," Crowley rolled his eyes towards the sky, sighed and then glanced at Ferid, "Hurry up and come up to me, we still have to think about how to get out of here .” After all, I don’t know how long the two food reserves can last.

While Crowley was getting dressed, Margaret kept covering her eyes, but Neil looked at him without hesitation, "Have you undergone any physical training? Why did you look like this when you were on the boat?" Vulnerable?"

"Um...that..."

Crowley's vague answer was interrupted by the sound of dripping water - Ferid was finally willing to come out of the pool.The silver-haired vampire didn't care about his nakedness, he walked to the clothes he was baking, bent down and rummaged through them.

The red-haired vampire sighed, and for the sake of Margaret's poor eyes, he took off his coat and put it on Ferid's shoulders.

The silver-haired vampire looked up at Crowley with a smile on his face, then lowered his head and continued to grope inside his clothes.After a while, Ferid let out a triumphant cheer: "Found it!"

Three pairs of eyes looked towards the right hand of the silver-haired vampire, who held a small package wrapped in oiled paper in the latter's hand.

"What's this?" Crowley asked.

Ferid didn't answer, but carefully unwrapped the oiled paper. Inside the oiled paper was a folded parchment. When the parchment was unfolded, a map appeared in front of Crowley.

"Well, let me see where we are now..." Ferid groaned and slid his fingertips across the map.

"'Where are we?' Is this the map here?" Crowley raised his eyebrows, "Sure enough, you planned all of this!"

Ferid seemed to be immersed in his thoughts, and he just let out a few hums of unknown meaning as an answer.

Neil suddenly took a step forward, staring at the map with a look of awakening in his eyes, "Wait, isn't this the treasure map I collected? Why is it in your hand?"

Margaret was stunned for a moment and then asked in a voiceless voice: "Treasure map? Is there any treasure here?"

That explains Ferid's motives, Crowley thought.He thought it was his plan to meet pirates, right?The purpose is obviously this treasure map.As for inciting the dissatisfaction of the sailors, deliberately framing Crowley to make him fall into the sea... The red-haired vampire smiled wryly when he thought of this, it seemed that his misfortune was just a whim of the silver-haired vampire's plan.

"Oh, don't think about it so much. This must be God's guidance, thank the Lord for bringing us to this island." Raising his head suddenly, Ferid rolled up the map again, straightened his back, and said with a smile, "Okay, let Let's dry the clothes first, and then we can start exploring~"

A branch was accidentally swept across his face, and Neil asked irritably while stroking the lush branches and leaves, "Are you sure you are going in this direction?"

Ever since they knew they were designed by Ferid, both Neil and Margaret were very wary of the silver-haired vampire.But Crowley felt that they could not be blamed for this, after all, Ferid could easily elicit similar emotions from other people.

Ferid didn't stop at his feet, he shuttled through the dense forest as if he was wandering in his back garden, and he turned his head halfway and replied: "Since you said that the treasure map was originally yours, you should know it better than me."

The pirate paused for a while, and then murmured after a while: "It's just mixed in with my booty..."

Whatever the legend, Crowley had never heard of it, and he only hoped that Ferid could explain the ins and outs clearly.But in the face of the silver-haired vampire, such a small wish is obviously only a wishful thinking.

Ferid chuckled, "How did you get this treasure map? I thought pirates were very interested in such things."

"Well, if I remember correctly, I should have gotten it when I fought against the British Navy... I remember that Captain of the Navy should be called John or Joseph..."

"Could it be that the treasure map marked is the legendary 'cursed treasure'?!" Margaret exclaimed.

"Hey, did you know?" Neil was a little surprised when he heard this.

Panting heavily, the girl stopped and wiped the sweat from her forehead.Her physical strength is slightly inferior to the others, but this does not prevent her from glaring at the pirate leader, "Of course I know, because you snatched it from my brother!"

"Haha," Neil laughed dryly, but quickly returned to normal. He approached the girl without hesitation, and asked with a smile, "Then what do you know about this treasure map?"

Margaret frowned, but she still said as she started to walk again: "I don't know much about the treasure, I only know a little about the origin of the treasure map..." The girl's voice disappeared in her throat, locked tightly. The eyebrows that were fixed were also suddenly loosened, and it turned into an expression of awe with amazement.

At some point, Ferid had led them out of the woods, and now a majestic building complex appeared in front of them.Covered by vines and moss, exotic pyramids stand on the ground, hiding for many years.

Crowley took a few steps forward curiously. They seemed to belong to the ancient civilizations of the New World. He didn't know much about them, and Ferid might know more about them.

Thinking of this, Crowley turned his head and happened to see the silver-haired vampire looking at Margaret with interest.

"Tell me how this treasure map came about."

Pulled back to reality by Ferid's voice, the girl glanced at the former with disgust, but still said: "My uncle Harold was the first explorer who devoted himself to sailing, and brought back gold, jewelry, and local treasures from the New World. Strange things. However, four years ago, he suddenly returned to England alone. The fleet he brought with him had nearly a hundred people, and they all seemed to be dead. The only things that my uncle brought back from the New World were this map and..."

"What's wrong with your uncle now?" Neil asked curiously.

Margaret swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her expression darkened, "He's crazy...he's been telling us this terrible story."

"Story? Hmm~ what kind of story is it, let's hear it." Ferid said in a still frivolous voice.

Shaking her head slightly, Margaret lowered her voice and continued: "My uncle, he said that he found a temple of local aboriginal people on a small island in the Caribbean Sea, where they saw a room full of Just when they were happily trying to transport the gold back to the ship, something weird happened, the original road to the exit disappeared, and their group was trapped in the temple, and uncle saw the devil."

"Devil?" Crowley tilted his head, laughing inwardly.Compared with meeting the devil, he and Ferid are now more likely to be called that.

"It's more about hearing than seeing. Uncle said that he heard a voice at that time, that voice told them that as long as they kill others, they can monopolize the gold."

The corner of Ferid's mouth raised a meaningful smile, "Hey~ That's indeed what the devil would say."

"And what happened?" Neal asked.

"...He didn't go on." The girl shook her head, "When we asked more questions, uncle, he would scream in fear. In order to find out the truth, my brother also decided to cross the ocean, but you Ransacked his warship!"

"Haha." Neil laughed a few times and didn't speak again.

"I also want to know the truth of the matter. After all, my uncle has loved me the most since before." The girl couldn't help but reach out and touch the strangely shaped necklace with rubies on her neck. The style of the necklace is different from any European style. , I am afraid it is the gift that the girl's uncle brought her from the New World.

"Ah, that's why you got on a warship." Crowley said.

The girl didn't answer, but it seemed that she acquiesced.

At this moment, Ferid's pleasant-sounding voice sounded again: "Well, it's really an interesting story, let's verify whether it's true or not~"

"Eh?!"

"Varied……"

Ferid's words made the two humans raise their eyes in surprise.However, without waiting for more words of protest, the silver-haired vampire walked straight towards the tallest pyramid in the complex.

"Is this the temple your uncle and the others found?" Ferid stopped in front of the heavy stone gate.

The silver-haired vampire stretched out his hand and wiped off the moss covering the stone door, revealing a groove with a unique shape.If Crowley's guess is correct, opening the stone door should require a key that fits right into it.

"Huh—" Neil, who followed up with him, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said dryly, "Although I am very interested in treasures, the lessons of my predecessors told me that I should not be casual when encountering such weird legends. Blending is better."

Ferid turned a deaf ear to it, but instead turned his eyes to Margaret, stretched out his palm to her and said, "Can I borrow your necklace, that is also given to you by your uncle, right?"

"How do you know?!" The girl subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold the necklace pendant, the expression on her face changed from puzzlement to bewilderment, and then from bewilderment to struggle.Finally, she took a deep breath, took off the necklace and placed it in Ferid's palm.

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Ferid's mouth, and he inserted the pendant of the necklace into the groove of the stone door.The stone gate trembled slightly, and the rattling sound of mechanism operation faintly came from the depths of the temple.As the constantly shaken dust drifted into the air, the heavy stone door slowly opened, revealing the dark space behind it.

Neil whistled in amazement.

Crowley turned his head and stared at Ferid's side face, and said in a slightly surprised tone, "Even the fact that I was rescued by the navy was planned by you."

Ferid raised his eyebrows and chuckled lightly, "Otherwise, do you think I'm just here to tease you?" As he spoke, the silver-haired vampire walked into the unknown space behind the stone gate.
