Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

In addition to some pillars in the center of the hall, this church located in the mountain also has many decorative false pillars on the stone walls, making the hall look more like those churches outside.

Normally, each pillar should correspond to a corner of the dome, but the density of the false pillars at the end of the church where the cross is placed is obviously much higher.

Although the tops of these high-density false pillars also have false arches, compared with the content above the other pillars, these false arches look very stiff.

"These fake pillars are made of volcanic cement, and they are not the same thing as the surrounding ones carved directly from the stone walls." Fan Meng said after scraping off several layers of plaster on the fake pillars with a knife. .

"In other words, this pillar was added later." Liang En carefully looked at the structure of these pillars and the false arch above, showing a thoughtful look.

After Liang En summoned three ravens and asked them to fly up with a light source and camera, the three of them saw more special structures through the display screen.

"It feels like someone used these fake pillars to put a few stone slabs on top." Because the top is relatively high, previous renovations were often not repaired, so some cracks naturally appeared.

These cracks close to the stone wall made Liang En realize that the bulge above the false arch was not something directly glued with cement, but some structure independent of the stone wall itself.

"But how do we take these things down?" Fan Meng looked at the stone slabs and said with a depressed expression. "These stone slabs weigh at least hundreds of kilograms and are 4 to 5 meters above the ground. Just the three of us -"

"Call someone. Use the satellite phone to call Mr. Scood and the others and ask them to come over quickly with the tools." Liang En thought for a moment and said. "Now this situation is obviously no longer something we can handle on our own."

Therefore, Liang En quickly took out the satellite phone he carried with him and walked to the entrance of the cave and contacted Mr. Scold. After learning that his uncle might have been found, he immediately agreed to send support personnel. .

Before support arrived, Liang En and the others conducted a nearly comprehensive inspection of the entire church. As a result, they found nothing valuable except for the six stone slabs placed above the false pillars where the sanctuary was located.

"Sir, why are you here?" Just a day and a half after making the notification call, a small team arrived at the small valley below the church through the clues left by Liang En. Unexpectedly, Skold He is actually on this team.

"Of course I have to come. When I was young, my health was not very good, so I basically had to stay at home. So I was most looking forward to my uncle telling me the stories of his adventures after the adventure was over.

"At that time, my uncle also took great care of me. Every time he went on an adventure, he would bring some interesting gadgets for me, and then devote a day to explaining the outside world to me. "Speaking of this, Scood's eyes turned red.

In the next hour or so, the priest brought by Mr. Scord said a simple prayer over the remains, and then zipped the body bags of the corpses.

After all this was done, Mr. Scord left early with the body bag containing the remains, but he left two strong men and a lot of supplies to assist Liang En and the others in their next work.

After receiving this help, Liang En and the others quickly took down the six stone slabs that were placed on top of the stone wall intact.

What was different from what they imagined was that after removing these stone slabs, what was exposed behind was an intact mosaic map. After checking with the newly brought detection radar, they determined that there was only a solid mountain behind, not There is a secret room.

"Don't tell me these stone slabs are the last relics of the Eastern Roman Empire." Fan Meng said with disbelief after looking at the stone slabs that were placed safely on the ground. He thought the hidden thing would be something like a crown or a scepter.

"Wait, there are words on these slates." After the slates were put down, Liang En immediately took out a brush and cleaned up the slates with Pierce, and then found the words from the side of the slates that were against the wall. . "

What does this record? Treasure map or something else? Fan Meng asked curiously as he looked at the unfamiliar words on the stone slab.

"This seems to be some kind of strange formula." Liang En muttered quietly, and then read out the Latin records he translated. "Turose, olive oil, tartar, pitch, sulfur—"

"This formula should be used to set fire." As a former soldier, Fan Meng quickly figured out what the combination of these things in this formula could do.

"Set fire, you mean set fire?" After being reminded by Fan Meng, Liang En immediately thought of something and quickly turned to the two strong men waiting next to him sent by Mr. Scood to help and said, " Quick, clear out all these slates."

Under Liang En's command, each of the five people at the scene climbed on the ground with a small brush and cleaned up the slates. This job did not have much technical content, so even those two people had never done it before. The strong men in this industry also quickly got started.

It has to be said that there is a lot of strength in numbers, so it makes sense, so more than forty minutes after the work started, one side of these six stone slabs with an area of ​​about one square meter was cleaned.

Among these six stone slabs, four are engraved with Latin text, while the other two stone slabs are engraved with several mechanical design drawings. Because these slabs are hidden, the slabs are in very good condition.

"These things can indeed be regarded as the last treasures of the Eastern Roman Empire." After reading the Latin text and pictures on the slate, Liang En nodded beside him and said. Pierce also showed an expression of approval.

"Tell me what this is!" Looking at the expressions of Liang En and Pierce, Fan Meng had a curious look on his face. "I can only tell that these two pictures are two water pumps that also operate on the siphon principle."

"You are right, those patterns are indeed things used to spray liquid. And the sprayed liquid is the special liquid recorded on the formulas of the other four stone tablets." At this point, Liang En paused deliberately, and then uncovered the Answered the mystery.

"What is recorded on these six stone tablets are all the secrets about Greek fire." "They include the important fuel formulas, production methods, and the most important drawings of the flamethrower and the key points in its production."

Just as Liang En finished speaking, a bronze card and three black iron cards appeared in Liang En's mind. Obviously, his inference was correct, hence this positive feedback.

"Greek fire!" Both Fan Meng and the two strong men who came to help looked shocked. They had thought about countless possibilities, but they never thought that the thing left behind would be such a legendary existence.

"Are you sure this is really Greek fire?" Fan Meng asked in a voice that was trembling with excitement.

"I can be 100% sure about this." Liang En pointed at the stone slab and said, "Because the reason for the whole thing was written on this stone slab, and the identity of these things was specifically pointed out as the Liquid Fire. and its launchers.”
