Two days passed quickly and the caravan reached the marked place in the map. They were now only a few kilometers away and they could reach it very quickly.
"Mr Kingsman we are almost there, how are you feeling right now?" Christian asked very excited.
Mr Kingsman looked the young boy and smiled: " I can only tell you when we are there, but now I am quite excited to reach the place."
"Christian you are behaving like a little kid, can't you hide your excitement?" Asked Maria, she was acting very mature since they left the school and began this journey. She was like the little boss after Alex.
"Maria don't talk, I saw you before smiling alone for many times. You cannot tell me to be not excited."
"I wasn't smiling alone, it was cold and I had to warm my face muscles." Maria said infuriated.
"Yes Yes, like you say." Christian continued bullying her.
"Your food portion is now smaller, congratulation." Maria said and then she ignored him.
Christian after hearing that his portion is now smaller, he quickly went to ask for forgiveness.
Maria was the one that managed the food portions of everyone too and she decided who would get more and who less. Of course, all the physical work was made by the chefs and the mercenaries and she only coordinated them.
She was well trained in this way because of her background as the princess, then in the future she will coordinate all the servants in the palace as the queen and organize parties, feasts and a lot of events more.
"Stop discussing we are here!" Suddenly Alex shout to everyone and everybody stopped instantly. They all were looking around searching for some building or sign or anything that signalized to the treasure.
"Where? I can't see anything." Said James and the others.
Alex knew that they were in the right place, because the system told him that he reached the right place. And he also sensed that 5 kilometers before the marked place, they all entered in some kind of barrier.
The barrier was the one that restricted a huge part of Alex's strength and did not let him use it fully, but it was still enough to be here, because it only restricted 40 % of his power and he still had 60% of his strength intact. He also felt how the strength of the others was restricted too in the same way as him, but they could not feel it because Alex nourished them continuously and this was enough to make them unable to feel the restrictions
Whatever, Alex did not mind about the restrictions and head to the marked place.
"Mr Kingsman, who is the treasure? We cannot see anything." Maria asked Mr Kingsman politely to know what was happening.
"This is the marked place, but I do not know where the treasure is." Mr Kingsman said, then he continued: "The map tells something about finding the way once we are here, but I do not know. We have to inspect the surrounding, there should be signs here."
Everyone nodded and then they all began to search for anything that could lead to the treasure.
The time passed and all the people were exhausted, they had to stop and rest for a bit before continuing. They were mentally exhausted because they had to concentrate for so long.
Alex also searched and searched and because his mental strength was restricted the most here, he could not scan the surroundings like he liked.
"I will rest a bit too." Thought Alex and then sat on a big stone there.
While sitting, Alex looked around him and did not think too much. He was only resting like the others and to not look obsessed for the treasure. But while sitting, a strange thought came to his head: "Why is this stone so round? Is it even possible for stones to be so round?"
Alex stood up and began to look at the stone, then he suddenly asked: "Did someone saw stones like this one?"
All the others looked at the stone in front of Alex and then a mercenary came out from the group and said: "Yeah, I saw one south from you."
Then James said: "There is one here too."
"Here too!"
In total five stones were found by the others and the one from Alex was the sixth.
"Mr Kingsman, I think there is a connection between the treasure and this stones, what do you think?" Alex said to Mr Kingsman and hoped that he could enlighten him.
Mr Kingsman looked at the location of the stones and then he took the map out and another block and began to draw and to write something. In a short time, he had a circle with six points and some strange words around the six point.
"Could you clear all the bushes and small stones around inside the circle that the stones create?" Mr Kingsman said to the mercenaries and they accepted the orders rapidly and began to clear everything that could be cleared.
Soon a visible circle appeared in the eyes of everyone and they were surprised that the stones created such a perfect circle.
"If I am not wrong, this should be the entrance, but I cannot see how it is opened. There is no key and there are no other clues." Said Mr Kingsman. He was very excited and worried at the same time, then he found the entrance but not the key.
That would mean that if they do not find the key, then they would have done all this for nothing.
Alex on the other side was looking at the stones and the perfect circles and quickly found a seventh stone after using his own power. It was not exactly a round stone, but an altar that was exactly in the middle of the circle.
"What if…?"
