Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"So to sum up, we can judge that the location where Mary's treasures were hidden must meet the following conditions." After communicating with Liang En for a while, Joan came to a conclusion.

"First of all, the space of the treasure hiding place must be large, at least able to hide two carriages of treasures, because the possibility of being exposed as a whole is much greater than the possibility of being exposed when hiding separately."

"That's right." Liang En nodded in appreciation, because if the treasures are buried scattered, the probability of being found is very high, and as long as one treasure is found, the diggers will realize that there is a treasure here, and then Carry out targeted mining.

To be honest, the core of hiding treasures is not to let people realize that there are treasures in the hidden treasure location. Otherwise, no matter how hidden it is and how many mechanisms are around, it will not be able to stop those greedy treasure hunters.

"Secondly, this location is most likely higher than sea level. If it is placed in a monastery, it will not be lower than one meter underground." After hearing Liang En's praise, Joan smiled first and then said.

"As for the reason, you have already said before. Not only is this place close to the sea, but the water table is also very high, so any attempt to put these things underground will destroy these things."

"Finally, that thing should most likely be hidden in a certain building structure in the house, because only in this way can so many treasures be hidden while meeting the above prerequisites."

Bang, bang, bang - just after Jeanne finished speaking, Liang En clapped his hands. "Your analysis is very correct, especially the final conclusion is exactly the same as my previous guess."

"So what we do next is very simple, which is to search for the older parts of the monastery, especially the parts that have been left from a long time ago."

After finishing the analysis, Liang En and the others started the search work. Because it has a clear direction. So they quickly launched an investigation into the oldest part of the courtyard.

The first part of the investigation was the main building, but until 3:00 pm they searched the entire main building and found nothing of value.

"Those things shouldn't be here, but then again, this should be within our expectations." After taking out two handkerchiefs and handing them to Liang En, she said while wiping her face.

"Based on my understanding of the monastery, this main building should have been the core building of the monastery in the past. A series of religious places such as the prayer room were built here."

"If that's the case, places like this tend to be staffed around the clock, so it's difficult to maintain secrecy when trying to hide something, especially a two-carriage of stuff."

"More importantly, as the activity center of the monastery, this place is full of people coming and going every day. If you want to hide something in the building structure, it is basically impossible not to leave traces."

"Yes, in theory the situation should be like this." Liang En nodded and said, "And during the survey just now, we also found that this building pursues transparency, and there are not many places where secret rooms or mezzanines can be built."

"Although there are a few pillars that are very suspicious, I think no idiot would choose to dig holes in those heavy pillars. Otherwise, the entire building would not be preserved to this day."

"And you also need to consider the working hours. After all, when we inspected it before, we found that the stones were very tightly bonded to the ancient Roman cement. It is definitely not something that can be done in a short time using primitive hand tools. ." Joan of Arc said suddenly.

"And such a secret room or mezzanine that can be kept secret for a hundred years must be very cleverly designed. Let alone just five days, I estimate that it would be impossible to design and build it in 50 days."

"But have you ever considered such a possibility?" After hearing Jeanne express her opinion, Liang En said seriously, "What if the secret room or extra layer existed in advance?"

"You know, if Mary's attendant is willing to choose to hide things in the monastery, it must not be chosen casually, especially if the attendant is not a local."

"So I guess that this monastery should have some places that are very suitable for hiding a batch of items, and even have the manpower to handle it, otherwise I wouldn't choose to hide it here."

"If that's the case, then why doesn't Mary know all this?" After listening to Liang En's narration, Joan thought for a few seconds and immediately retorted.

"I guess because this is one of the countless secrets of the French royal family, the queen may not know it, just like she will never know what the palace kitchen looks like after living in the palace her entire life." Liang En replied.

For those nobles, they have too many things to care about, so they are unlikely to pay attention to the details around them, especially things that theoretically should not be under their control.

After all, the hierarchical system in Europe before the French Revolution was deeply ingrained. What everyone did was already defined and they were not allowed to cross that line.

To give the simplest example, there were many types of servants in the palace at that time, and each performed their own duties. For example, those who managed the tableware would never touch the clothes.

"What you said makes sense." Joan was convinced, she nodded and then asked. "Then where do you think those treasures should be hidden?"

"We have actually been ignoring a place before." Liang En raised his index finger and pointed at the sky, and then said. "We didn't check the situation above the ceiling at all."

"Ceiling, how is this possible?" Joan frowned, "You have to consider that these things are likely to fall under the action of gravity. It is too unsafe to hide here."

"Oh, my point of view is exactly the opposite of yours." Liang En took out his mobile phone and showed the photo he had taken before, which was part of the dome of the lobby of the main building. "This place has not been renovated before, because the dome was painted with religious murals that were painted almost at the same time as the monastery, so during the renovation, a layer of plexiglass was simply added here for tourists to enjoy."

"I don't think there's anything strange about this." Joan of Arc looked at the photo in her hand carefully and said, "As a monastery, isn't it normal to have such religious murals?"

"Yes, you are right, but in fact there is something unusual about these murals." Liang En said, pointing to the murals.

"These murals, The Story of the Bible, depict the part from the creation of man by God to the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, but if you look carefully, you will find that Eve's fingers are almost pointing in the same direction."

"Well -" Jeanne looked around after hearing this, and then nodded seriously. "So do you think there is something on the other person's finger?"

"Yes, that's what I guessed." Liang En said, pointing to the dome in the picture, "There is a gap in the space between the inside and outside of this dome. According to my calculations, it can completely fit the contents of two carriages. "

"At the same time, because of the existence of the stone arch, it is not difficult to bear the weight, so I guess those things are most likely hidden above the stone arch."
