Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After listening to Pierce telling the story of how this great city fell, the three people present sighed at the same time. This kind of desperate fight to the death can always arouse people's emotional resonance.

But after sighing, everyone had to put on gloves and put the bones and the relics found on the bones into body bags for the next step.

It was during this process that Liang En and the others found several specially customized silver-plated copper shirt buttons from under the corpse that had just been marked on his card, and through these buttons with special reliefs, they determined that the corpse belonged to Mr. Conrad.

Of course, this judgment is only the most preliminary judgment. After the Scood family comes over, they will conduct final confirmation through DNA identification to ensure that they have not found the wrong person.

In addition, Liang En and the others, who carefully searched the entire building, also found traces of relatively new years in some rooms, and roughly restored what happened here at that time.

Judging from the traces left everywhere, most of the people in the expedition team were caught without resistance, and there were only two places where traces of resistance could be seen.

Because of this discovery, Liang En and the others felt that there was definitely a traitor in the expedition team that Conrad was a part of, so the attackers probably chose one night to rely on the traitor to kill the sentry, and then successfully attacked the expedition team. .

It's just that the attackers knew how to hide their identities, so Liang En and the others didn't find anything that could reveal the identity of the attackers.

"As for the specific identity of the murderer, I think we can only leave it to Mr. Scood and the others." After realizing that he could not solve the mystery on his own, Liang En said with a helpless shrug.

"But we should have found the missing Mr. Conrad by now, so this small mistake should not affect us from taking the 700,000 euro reward."

Finally around 8 o'clock in the evening, Liang En and the others completed the inspection and cleaning work and returned to the place where the fork was before to start cooking dinner. At this time, Liang En began to recall a little bit and sorted out what he had just done. Everything you see.

"I suddenly thought of a question." Liang En suddenly asked after the meal was ready. "Why do you think that guard team chose to hide these so-called treasures at such a dangerous juncture?"

"Could this be for the dignity of the empire?" Pierce asked, "Think about it, a thousand-year empire is about to be destroyed. At this time, the emperor may very well want to put away these things that represent the royal family to avoid being insulted."

"That's not right." Liang En shook his head and said, "Although Constantine XI was indeed an emperor who valued his dignity from the final battle to death, this treasure-hiding behavior is indeed a bit strange."

"Because if he really wants to maintain his dignity and prevent these things from falling into the hands of the enemy, then he can completely destroy these things in Constantinople. There is no need to send them all the way here."

"Could that be funds for national restoration?" Fan Meng said suddenly, but before anyone else could speak, he denied this view himself. "No, no, these things are not only worthless, but also very conspicuous and not suitable for this purpose."

For the National Restoration Fund, hard currencies such as gold, silver or some common high-end textiles with high value, small size and no characteristics are the most suitable things.

No matter how expensive it is, jewelry with unique characteristics or textiles embroidered with various noble crests are not suitable for carrying, because these things can easily attract the attention of the country's destroyers, who will follow the clues to eradicate the exiles.

As a thousand-year empire, the royal family of the Eastern Roman Empire would not have known this, so this pile of rags could not be their back-up.

"The fact that the other party was able to mobilize the already stretched human resources to do this means that this matter is very important, even more important than defending the city." Liang En said, tapping his forehead with his finger.

"And these two boxes of things were not valuable at all in that era, and they were obviously not worthy of those loyal people taking them on a special trip."

"Especially judging from the layers of plaster painted on the wall, this secret room for hiding treasures should have been built very early. But when these people came here with the boxes, the church was in an abandoned state. stage."

“In other words, when those people came with the box, the church had become deserted, but they spent a lot of time hiding the box and even painted the church again under the very tight schedule. "

Pierce also fell into deep thought when he said this, because this approach seemed like something done by a madman and was completely unreasonable.

At that time, Constantinople was preparing for the final battle. There were only more than 2,000 defenders in the entire city. For a city that lacked manpower, there was no reason to waste this small team of dozens of people.

On the other hand, judging from the parchment found now, this team finally returned to the city before the siege and chose to fight and die there with their emperor. Therefore, based on the loyalty of these people, there is no such thing. It is possible for people to become foreign workers.

If I use an inappropriate analogy, if I did this just for those two boxes of things, the whole thing would feel as absurd as if I didn't rush to escape when the ship sank, but had to finish my lunch slowly.

"There are probably some things hidden in this place that we don't know about." Liang En said, looking at the faces of his two companions illuminated by the bonfire, "So I plan to check the secret room again tomorrow."

"It should be the entire church." Fan Meng suddenly said, "When I was training, the instructors said that many important things would be hidden in some very ordinary-looking places, so that thing could be hidden anywhere."

So after resting for a night at the fork of the cave not far from the exit, Liang En and the others got up early the next morning and checked the condition of the entire mountain church.

As for the inspection method, it is also very simple. That is to use a metal detector combined with tapping to find traces of various possible treasures. Without high-tech equipment such as ground-penetrating radar, this is already the most effective method. Good plan.

Through inspection, Liang En and the others were able to confirm that the church in the mountain had been rebuilt many times, and at least the murals around the church hall had more than one layer of them.

This kind of reconstruction has brought huge trouble to Liang En and the others. The treasure collectors back then are likely to leave traces somewhere, but now all the traces will disappear in the reconstruction.

Fortunately, the passive card [Careful Observation (R)] has been working effectively. So when Liang En searched the main chapel of the church, he suddenly discovered something was wrong.

According to the results of previous inspections, this church located in the rock is obviously built to imitate external churches. In other words, even if it is not needed at all from a structural point of view, a large number of domes and columns will still be built.

But now, he found that there seemed to be a little more pillars here.
