Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1282

"This is?"

"Gold mine."

Emory looked at the ore vein in front of him and said with a heavy tone, "Back then, Aaron was a geologist. He discovered the gold ore vein here, so he paid much attention to the Harper Town and caused that tragedy."

"Ore vein? Throughout the entire mountain?"

Samuel owned a diamond mine in Africa, so he understood Emory's words.

Emory nodded and said, "Yes. Its source was in the Harper Town. Every master knew about it, and their mission was to protect the ore veins. To them, gold was not wealth, but earth energy, which could protect their town. Thanks to the veins, the bugs in the mountains were exceptionally good, and the refined bugs were even better. As you know, the Harper Town passed down that tradition from ancient times. This ore vein was the foundation for the Harper Town's existence. Once they were destroyed, the quality of bugs would drop. It was said that only one Golden Bug could be refined in a few hundred years, but people in the Harper Town refined three ones in excellent quality, only in ten decades. Therefore, they definitely wouldn't allow any outsider to get close to the ore vein. To protect this secret, the people of the Harper Town never intermarry with others outside the town. They want to keep this secret forever."

Hearing this, Samuel paused for a moment.

Three Golden Bugs, for sure?

One was in his body. Where were the other two?

"William came here for the veins?"

"No, he was here for the Golden Bug."

Emory sighed and shook his head, "He is a love struck man. Back then, he had a crush on Sally, and he thought that his big brother also fell in love with her. After being tricked out of the country by Sally, he suffered misfortune. Afterwards, he discovered the secret of Sally and Audrey. But at that time, Sally was the king's lady. He was disheartened, so he planned to leave that sad place, but he accidentally found out that Sally had been poisoned with the bug. To dispel the bug, she needed the Golden Bug from the Harper Town. In order to save Sally, he came here."

Samuel did not expect William to come here because of this.

He frowned and thought of something. Then he asked, "William came here, so did Mr. Morty's auntie. Their coming attracted the attention of Lindo, who has been keeping an eye on the ore veins. He thought William and Mr. Morty's auntie knew the secret, so he tried to kill them?"

"Probably. But William did find a Golden Bug and sent it to Sally, but his whereabouts were revealed. From then on, he was missing. Sally has been looking for him for years, but he seemed to have disappeared. Mr. Morty's auntie was also gone after William left."

Emory frowned. He was puzzled for this enigma.

Samuel recalled Jarrod's words and whispered, "Jarrod said that William is in the mountains."

"In the mountains?"

Emory was a little surprised.

"He's right."

Samuel was not calm.

"Emory, so Aaron came to the Harper Town for the ore vein. But outsiders were forbidden to enter, right? Why could Aaron make it? And he even stayed there for long. Also, Zama is the young master. How couldn't she know about this ore vein?"

Hearing Samuel's question, Emory whispered, "According to the rules of the Harper Town, the current master will tell his successor the secrets of the ore vein before he or she dies. But that tragedy happened suddenly, the old master did not have time to tell Zama about it, so Zama, as the young master, knew nothing. If we hadn't started the geological surveys, we probably wouldn't have discovered this secret. "

"Geological survey?"

"That's right. Aaron has an identity as a geological surveyor. I found it strange. Why would a geological survey institute be interested in the Harper Town? And it is said that Aaron entered the Harper Town as a geological surveyor at that time."

Hearing Emory's words, Samuel was somewhat puzzled.

"I don't understand. If the ore vein is the secret of the Harper Town, and Aaron is a geological surveyor, shouldn't the people in the town have prevented him from entering, right?"

Emory nodded.

"It's supposed to be like this. But according to the file investigated, debris flow happened in the mountains behind the Harper Town, so the ore vein hidden was exposed in that year. The villagers of the Harper Town were panicked, so they organized some people to bury the ore vein. But the landslide killed more than a dozen people. The old master did not give up and asked another group of people to do it. However, something weird happened. All the people who participated in the burial operation died at their homes without rhyme or reason. This incident caused a panic in the town. And Aaron was detecting the geology nearby. The old master thought that Aaron was an expert in this field, so he broke the rules and invited Aaron to the village. The old master had planned to kill Aaron after Aaron buried the ore veins. However, before he could do that, the Harper Town was ruined."

Hearing what Emory said, Samuel felt sort of uncomfortable.

"Aaron deliberately plotted this. Perhaps he conjured up the landslide and the mysterious incident. After all, his target was to find the entrance to the ore vein."

There were not many coincidences in this world. If there were, they must be done on purpose.

Emory nodded and said, "Yeah."

"How did you find out about this?"

Samuel was a little surprised.

Few people in the Harper Town survived, and now they all were staying or working beside him. How could Aaron know about these past events?

Emory took out an ancient book from his shirt and handed it to Samuel.

Samuel felt that it looked very familiar. After flipping through it, he became depressed.
