Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Everyone had a good time at dinner. Although there were not many raw materials in the castle, Liang En made up for it with his cooking skills, making everyone present happy.

Although the three ladies all expressed their willingness to cook, considering the cooking skills of the three ladies, especially the two nobles who had basically never cooked before, Liang En thought it would be better to do it himself.

After dinner, the four people quickly walked along the narrow stairs toward the top of the tower, and then started searching with flashlights.

At the beginning, Liang En thought that finding the answer to this question was a very complicated matter, but in reality it was not. In fact, the process was even much simpler than before.

Less than a minute after they arrived on the tower and started searching, they discovered a relief on the outside of the east wall of the tower.

"What is engraved on the relief?" Just as Joan of Arc stuck her head out and tried to take a picture of the relief outside, Liang En asked while hugging her leg.

"I think this looks like a sun, and it's a relatively common sun sculpture." Joan of Arc quickly finished taking the photo, then returned to the platform at the top of the tower, and then shared what she had just taken.

Although the things photographed looked a little blurry because it was nighttime, it was not unrecognizable, so they could easily tell that it was a sun relief with a human face on it.

The popularity of this sun relief with a human face is attributed to the Tarot cards, but it was actually created much earlier than the Tarot cards. In most cases, this pattern represents joy, happiness and success.

From the appearance point of view, the radiant sun mark is a disc surrounded by zigzag patterns. This mark was often used by the ancients to express divine blessings.

Although the blessing of the sun is a pagan content for Christianity, this symbolic meaning is still commonly used in various colloquial expressions to this day.

For example, the sentence "good luck shines on them" that appears in many movies and novels is used to represent someone's luck and success in the process of struggle.

Of course, this thing also has its own meaning in occultism. It is often used in alchemy and represents gold, and the corresponding moon represents silver.

But the things that can be used on buildings must only have solar significance. After all, alchemy has been rejected from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, so it is impossible to display it in public.

However, since this thing has always represented a very positive meaning, it has been often used for castle decoration in history, so it is not surprising that a relief sculpture of the sun appears in this place.

The only difference between this sun and the ordinary sun relief is that the rays of this relief are not the common 16, but 12.

In response, they also found a moon relief with a human face on the outer wall of the other side of the tower, which was also a relatively common decoration method in the past.

But now Liang En and the others had other ideas. Soon, the four of them collected all the data and returned to the computer, and then began to study.

"If there are no accidents, then when the sun and the relief are aligned in a straight line at 12 noon, the top of the shadow cast by the tower on the ground will be the location of the treasure." Liang En pointed to the crude schematic diagram made on the computer. Speaking of.

"At least those 12 rays of the sun should imply 12 noon. The last question now is, which day is it?"

"Since you said that, you must have an idea." As someone who is familiar with Liang En, Joan of course knew that Liang En was just selling out, so she pressed.

"Of course it's the vernal equinox or the autumnal equinox." Liang En said with a smile, "The sun and moon sculptures were opposite just now, which also implies that the day and night are the same length on that day, and such days only have the vernal equinox every year. There are two days on the autumnal equinox.”

"——If this is the case, then the place where the other party hides things should be here." After a few minutes of quick calculations, Elizabeth finally circled a point on the map and said.

"It still needs to be extended by another 2m5~3m." Liang En said after taking a look at this picture, "It turns out that this castle tower has a conical roof on top, but it has been demolished now, but in the calculation It will be added when the time comes.”

"Ah, I almost forgot." After hearing Liang En's reminder, Elizabeth reacted immediately. As someone who has memorized the castle for more than half a century, she now suddenly remembered some of the facilities on the tower.

Traditionally, such towers built for war often have roofs on them. On the one hand, it is to give the defenders a shelter during precipitation, and on the other hand, it is to prevent attacks by enemy projectile weapons.

Of course, the projectile weapons here refer to things like bows and arrows, crossbows, javelins or stones. The early matchlocks could barely resist, but if they were artillery, they would definitely not be able to withstand them.

So it is very normal for a military castle like this to have such a roof, but because this structure is made of wood instead of stone, it is normal that the castle was not preserved after it was abandoned.

As for the person who took over later, he just wanted to turn it into a shelter, so he carried out a comprehensive renovation of the interior and directly connected water and electricity, but did not restore the roof that is now basically useless.

So now the tower of the castle looks bare. If Liang Enlai hadn't checked the information about the castle before, he might not have realized the existence of that roof.

But then again, although water and electricity are installed here, they are still the same as the old standard decades ago. Although there is a diesel generator, there is no diesel reserve. Therefore, some household appliances that consume a lot of power can basically not be used.

This made them cook firewood for dinner last night. Fortunately, both Liang En and Jeanne were good at these tasks, so they finally had a hot meal instead of eating emergency food to upset their stomachs.

Because it was already dark, they did not start work that day. Instead, after resting for a night, they each had a sandwich the next morning and took their tools to the location designated yesterday.

"Let's start work. First scan it with a metal detector, and then use a probe to test it." Looking at the lawn that was not much different from the surroundings, Liang En gently waved the detector in his hand and said.

He was not sure what was buried underground, because as a researcher of occult science, Liang En knew that sometimes the things buried by his colleagues in history were not necessarily metal objects.

"There doesn't seem to be anything down there," Mary said after running a metal detector through it. "Although our sensitivity is not high to avoid false alarms. But I think the other party will not hide a piece of metal no bigger than a coin."

"Change the probe." Liang En said, putting the metal detector aside, then took out a probe from his waist and said. "I think it's very possible that the other party didn't use metal."
