At last, the secret yields to Edmond’s hand.
In The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 24, Dantès uncovers the artifice that held the circular rock in place. Unable to move it with strength alone, he turns to powder and fire. The explosion shatters the wedge stone and lifts the rock, sending a snake slithering from the darkness like a guardian spirit. Beneath lies the promise of Cardinal Spada’s hidden treasure.
