Starting My Treasure Hunting In England
Chapter 420 Treasure
After arriving at the suspicious location according to the signs on the map, Liang En found that the stone wall in front of him was not much different from the surroundings. However, after taking a closer look, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the stone wall.
"What did you find?" Looking at Liang En, who was almost lying on the stone wall, Jeanne asked curiously. "I feel like there's nothing wrong here."
"That's because the lights in this place are too dim, so you may not see some details clearly." Liang En turned his head and said to Joan with a smile, "Turn on the headlight on your helmet, and then shine it towards me. The stone wall."
Because this place is relatively close to the depths of the wine cellar, and there are no wooden barrels used for aging wine, the lights here are a little dim, and things are naturally blurred.
After hearing Liang En's order, Joan of Arc immediately turned on a strong headlight and shined it on the stone wall. She was surprised to see that the stone wall in front of Liang En seemed a little gray.
After taking a closer look, Joan of Arc discovered that the material of this stone wall was somewhat different from the ones she had seen before. The difference could be clearly seen under the strong light.
"What's going on?" Joan looked at the obviously different materials and asked with some confusion, "Are there other mineral veins in this quarry?"
"No, this is not another mineral vein, but cement." Liang En carefully observed these cement stone walls that at first glance looked similar to the texture of the surrounding stone walls. At the same time, he pressed his hands on the cement surface and used [Rock Control (SR) 】.
In an instant, Liang En saw that the stone wall in front of him was not a stone wall at all, but a bifurcated hole sealed by a brick wall and cement outside.
With the continuous injection of legendary points, Liang En's consciousness gradually extended inward, and finally figured out what this hidden space looked like.
This is indeed one of the abandoned lanes left behind by the quarry. After all, the quarry will only look for the stones it needs, so once it finds that the quality of the stone does not meet its requirements, it will dig in another direction, so there are many such laneway.
However, this lane is not too long, only less than 10 meters. At the same time, Liang En can vaguely feel that there seems to be something in this lane. It seems that it is the object that those people wanted to hide back then.
After confirming that there were indeed items hidden here, Liang En and Jeanne went back to the ground to get two sledgehammers and put on gas masks, then returned here and smashed the wall.
"80, 80——" Liang En subconsciously whispered in Chinese while smashing the wall. As a result, the hammer just hit five or six times, and the wall that was just for cover was smashed open.
There was an obvious rotten smell coming out of the cave. Upon seeing this, Liang En and Jeanne immediately put on gas masks and continued to clean the remaining parts of the brick wall.
Through the opened brick wall, Liang En saw that there were about fifteen or six wooden boxes wrapped in straw and reinforced with iron bars piled inside. The whole box was very well preserved.
The box was not large in size and looked close to a cube with a side length of about 1m. When they cleared the broken bricks at the entrance and entered the tunnel, they immediately saw a French sentence written in red paint on the wall:
"Nous vaincrons parce que nous sommes les plus forts." Liang En read this sentence subconsciously, which translates to: We are the strongest, and the strong will win!
"Is there any meaning behind this sentence?" Of course Joan of Arc recognized the meaning of this sentence, but she didn't quite understand why such a sentence was written here.
"This is the most famous slogan of the Free French in World War II. Together with the most famous on ne passe pas (they can't pass!) of World War I, it has become the most important memory left in the two wars."
As a military enthusiast, Liang En quickly thought of the meaning behind this sentence. Based on the Lorraine crosses he had seen before, it can be basically judged that these things should be hidden by the French underground organization during World War II.
After stepping forward and moving the boxes with gloved hands, Liang En found that the weight of these boxes was not light, and the slight knocking sound from inside when moving sounded like some kind of metal product.
Carefully opening a box, Liang En found that it contained five boxes of different sizes, separated by straw. He opened a small box and found a golden incense burner wrapped in silk.
After taking out the incense burner, Liang En discovered that it should be the type of incense burner with a chain used in religious ceremonies in Christianity. It was very heavy in the hand, and the material should obviously be gold.
The entire surface of the incense burner is not inlaid with any gems or decorated with enamel, but is covered with exquisite religious-themed reliefs. Even the gold chain uses twisted metal work, showing low-key luxury.
Judging from the craftsmanship, this should be a gold incense burner from the 16th or 17th century, and it almost certainly came from an important Catholic church. After all, it would be nice for an ordinary church to have a copper-plated silver incense burner.
After the second box was opened, it also contained small boxes, but those small boxes were smaller and more delicate. In addition to wooden boxes, there were also leather boxes and iron boxes.
After choosing one of the black leather cases with brass edging and opening it, he found that inside was a colored cross inlaid with various gems and pearls.
The conditions inside the third, fourth, and fifth boxes were similar. They were all large boxes within small boxes, and the small boxes contained various kinds of jewelry that obviously came from the church.
However, the situation changed when we got to the sixth box. Inside was not straw used for shock absorption, but a very thick piece of red velvet. From the tight packaging, it can be seen that the person who packed the box was very concerned about what was in the box. The items are very thoughtful.
After working with Joan of Arc to open the piece of velvet, a house appeared in front of them.
The main body of this miniature flame Gothic chapel is made of gold. There are extremely exquisite franc color patterns on the four sides, which are interspersed with high reliefs of various figures, detailed metalwork inlays, various gemstone inlays, and hollow carvings and welding.
The whole thing was about 80 centimeters long, 60 centimeters wide, and 70 centimeters high. The first time she saw this thing, Joan of Arc recognized the origin of the box.
"This is the reliquary in the Orleans Cathedral." Looking at the beautifully bound box, Joan of Arc looked a little excited, "I had seen this box before, but it had just been made two or three years ago. As old as it is now.”
Having said this, Joan of Arc reached out to the side of the reliquary and pressed it gently. With a click, the roof of what looked like a miniature chapel was partially unlocked and popped open.
Then the two men moved the roof to the side and took out a gold box the size of a football and filled with gems.
"Yes, that's it." Joan of Arc looked at the jewel-encrusted human skull in the small gold box through a piece of transparent crystal inlaid on each side of the box. "This should be the remains of the saint enshrined in the Orleans Church, and it is also the most famous One of the few sacred objects."
"I didn't expect there was such a treasure under the winery." Liang En said while restoring the relic box to its original shape, "Okay, let me check the other boxes to see what these things are. What."
