Chapter 1867: Five Boxes

Soon the Count of Beauge called in some gardeners, took the horses from the stables, and put the big ones on the grass behind the castle for the time being, and left them to roam freely.

When he was led away from the stable, the black steed was still rubbing Ye Tian's arm reluctantly, and even biting his shirt with his teeth, seemingly very reluctant to leave, but in the end it was still led away.

This scene was full of warmth, and everyone else in the stable had their eyes straightened and were amazed.

The Count of Boge, in particular, was even more envious and even jealous, and his eyes were red!

It was one of his favorite thoroughbreds, and he had put a lot of effort and time into it, but how could that thoroughbred ever be so affectionate to him?

Facing Ye Tian, the always arrogant thoroughbred horse put down his body and behaved so affectionately, even if they had just met, could it not make people crazy with jealousy?

But this is just a small episode, and everyone's focus is not on it.

The focus of everyone's attention here is on the metal objects hidden deep underground, is it treasure or something else? The answer will soon be revealed!

Derek and Tommy, who had left the stables to pick up the digging tools after the gardener of Alzhni Castle had taken the horses, returned to the stables.

They brought back two sapper shovels, crowbars and other tools, as well as a hand-held electric drill to break through the concrete floor and rocks that might be encountered during the excavation.

However, this is very unlikely, since there are a large number of metal objects buried here, it is basically impossible for large rocks to block the way, otherwise it is difficult to bury those metal objects deep underground.

In the blink of an eye, everything is ready to be excavated.

There were four men to do the work, two gardeners from Alzhni Castle, and Derek and Tommy.

"Guys, let's get to work, dig down the demarcated area, the four of you come in two shifts, change when you're tired, and try to dig up those things buried deep in the ground as quickly as possible."

Ye Tian said with a smile and issued an order to act.

When the words fell, Derek immediately continued:

"Okay, Steven, let's go first"

With that, he picked up the electric rig, and Tommy picked up the crowbar, which was ready to break through the ground.

The next moment, the sound of the motor spinning at high speed was heard in the empty stable, followed by a sudden loud noise, which was the sound of a drill hitting the concrete floor.

The cement layer laid on the ground of the stable is not too thick, only less than ten centimeters, and its function is mainly to prevent moisture and facilitate cleaning.

In the blink of an eye, there were already a few more holes on the ground, which happened to be distributed along the range demarcated by Ye Tian, and there were many cracks around each hole.

When Derek turned to the other side with the electric rig, Tommy immediately stepped forward with a crowbar in his hand, inserted one end of the crowbar into the holes he had just drilled, and began to pry the cement on the ground!

Soon, more than an hour had passed.

Jason, who was exploring with a pulsed metal detector in hand, had already thoroughly explored the interior of Alzhni Castle, and did not miss a single corner.

In the process of exploration, they found several places where metal objects were buried, located in different locations and buried at different depths, and the detected signals were strong and weak.

Every time such a place was found, the corresponding detection team would notify Ye Tian and ask him to go over and check the situation.

After arriving at the detection site, Ye Tian will understand the specific detection data, analyze the specific significance of those data, and then carefully observe the ground situation.

However, instead of asking his staff to dig immediately, he marked the locations where the treasure might be buried, preparing to explore and dig it at a later date.

The work should be done step by step, and there is no need to rush it.

In fact, those places where metal objects are buried, what is the specific situation, what is buried deep underground, Ye Tian knows better than anyone else, so naturally there is no need to worry.

After exploring the inside of the castle, Jason and the others took a short break before moving again, expanding their exploration to the outside of Alzhni Castle.

As several detection teams walked out of the castle one after another, the exploration they were carrying out naturally could not hide the guys who had gathered outside the castle and were blocked by the Lyon police from the first line of defense.

Seeing the situation on the other side of the castle, the guys who were stopped in the distance immediately started talking.

"Sure enough, the joint exploration team has already launched an operation, but I don't know what they have found? Have you found the Knights Templar treasure?"

"Judging from the current situation, Steven's guys shouldn't have found the treasure yet, otherwise they wouldn't have sent so many people to probe around the castle, isn't that an extra move!"

While there was a lot of discussion, these guys were also much more relieved, not as anxious as before, and eager to know the situation inside the castle of Arzhni.

But how did they know what was happening in the castle of Arzhny?

After more than an hour of excavation, there was a large pit two meters long, about one meter and a half wide, and about three meters deep in the stable behind the castle.

A large amount of earth and stones dug out of this pit had filled the four stables at the edge of the pit, like four hills.

Because the castle of Arzhni is located at the top of a hill, the site is relatively high, and although the pit in the stables is three meters deep, there is no groundwater seeping out, and it is relatively dry.

In this case, of course, it is beneficial to excavate the water, and there is no need to use a pumping machine to pump water at the same time.

At this time, Derek and Tommy were sweating at the bottom of the pit and continuing to advance deeper into the ground.

Standing at the edge of the pit, two gardeners of the Château de Arzhni kept hoisting iron buckets filled with earth and stones, which were dumped into several stables nearby.

As for Ye Tian and the French, they were standing a little farther away, chatting and laughing while paying attention to the ongoing excavation work.

"Bang"

There was a sudden strange noise at the bottom of the pit, which was completely different from the previous sound.

Immediately after this strange sound, Derek's excited voice also came from the pit.

"Steven, we've dug it up, it's a metal box!"

"Thank goodness the hard work has not been in vain! If you can't dig anything again, buddy will collapse!"

Tommy then spoke, his voice equally agitated and a hint of relief.

Hearing the sound from the bottom of the pit in front of them, Ye Tian and them, who were standing outside the pit, and those Frenchmen all walked forward briskly, and everyone's excited eyes shone brightly.

In the blink of an eye, everyone has come to the edge of the big pit.

In a hurry, Count Boge, who was walking in the front, even almost fell into this three-meter-deep pit, but fortunately he was pulled by Ye Tianyi, who followed closely, so as to avoid the result of being thrown into disgrace.

Before they could gain a firm foothold, everyone had already looked to the bottom of the pit, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.

At the bottom of the pit, Derek and Tommy have shoveled the dirt off the top of the first crate they found, revealing the crate that had been buried deep underground for an unknown number of years.

"Wow! There's something buried deep underground, what a painstaking effort! I wonder what treasure is hidden in this box? It's so exciting!"

There was a cheer at the scene, and everyone was overjoyed.

Although only one chest has been seen at the top, and it is unknown what the box contains, this discovery is enough to excite everyone, especially those who are participating in the treasure hunt for the first time!

When the cheers fell slightly, Ye Tian immediately said loudly:

"Derek, Tommy, clean up the dirt around this box, then tie the rope and we will lift it up from the bottom of the pit, and we must be careful not to bump the box during the cleaning process.

The boxes may be antiques, buried in the ground for an unknown number of years, or fragile, and if knocked in by a sapper shovel, there is a high risk of knocking out a hole and causing irreparable damage.

According to the signals detected by the Pulse Metal Detector, there are 100% other metal objects around this box, and further down there, most likely metal boxes like this, find them!"

"No problem, Steven, don't worry, we'll take care of these things!"

Derek and Tommy, who were standing at the bottom of the pit, responded in unison, and both of them were full of energy, as if they had come back to life with full blood in an instant.

After finishing speaking, the two guys began to clean up the dirt on the top of the box at the bottom of the pit and around it, while Ye Tian and the others stood on the edge of the pit and watched condescendingly.

Soon, more than twenty minutes had passed.

At this time, Ye Tian and the others already had five more dirt-studded, rusty, and huge metal boxes in front of them, lined up in the central passage of the stable.

This treasure, which had been buried deep underground for an unknown number of years, consisted of five chests, each of which was unusually heavy, and was clearly full of contents.

Although these rusty boxes had been lifted out and all hoisted up and placed in front of everyone's eyes, Ye Tian did not open these boxes immediately, but continued to wait.

What he was waiting for was Derek and Tommy, who were still at the bottom of the pit.

It was the two guys who first discovered this treasure, and they had to be present when the veil was unveiled.

At the end of this joint exploration operation, they will also receive a special reward for their work.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward! Ye Tian has always been convinced of this!

If not, why should these profit-oriented foreigners give you their lives?

After picking up these five boxes, Ye Tian put the pulsed metal detector into the bottom of the pit again, and asked Derek and them to explore the bottom of the pit, so as not to miss any treasures!

The answer was soon in, and Derek's voice came from the bottom of the pit.

"Steven, the bottom of the pit has been cleaned up, and the metal detector can't detect any signal!"

"Alright then, you can come up, let's open these five rusty boxes and see what they contain!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and threw the safety rope into the bottom of the pit again.

With his words, everyone on the scene looked at the five rusty boxes, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot!
