Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and finally saw a glimmer of hope, with the strength of this big donor, it is not a problem to save Greece, but it is necessary to serve well!

Fereko calmed down for a moment and said to Ye Fan: "Your Excellency, the feud between the Hermitage and the Illuminati has a long history, which dates back to the Age of Discovery. Come with me, and I'll tell you a little bit more about it. ”

At this time, the young flamenco king rushed back, and everyone followed Fereco as they walked through the centuries-old palace of the Spanish royal family, towards the deepest and most silent place.

"The Age of Discovery, the best of our time in Spain, we conquered Portugal, Italy, large swathes of Latin America, and the Philippines in the East, thanks to the wisdom and discernment of our ancestor Queen Isabella, who supported Columbus in realizing his sailing plans......"

The old Ferreco talked about the past glory of Spain, his face showed endless remembrance and admiration, Spain in the sixteenth century was undoubtedly the most beautiful and powerful country on the earth at that time, because Columbus discovered the New World, first opened the Age of Discovery, the invincible armada crisscrossed the world's oceans, plundered gold, silver, spices and jewels everywhere, and quickly built Spain into the first power in Europe, an invincible empire on the sea.

"Young man, do you know who ended the most powerful era of our Spanish Empire?" Stepping into the backyard of the deep palace, Freecco turned his head and asked a small question to Ye Fan.

"Who? British, of course. Ye Fan still has this bit of common sense, Spain was defeated by the British, the Armada perished, and the national strength declined rapidly, and since then, the rise of the empire on which the sun never sets.

"No, you're wrong. The old Spanish king shook his head and sighed: "It was not the British who defeated us, but a rabble, the Vikings!

Looking back on this period of history, Freco, who had a serious imperial plot, sighed and lamented that if it were not for the naval battle that went down in the annals of human history, Spain's glory might have lasted into the nineteenth century, and the history of the world would have been rewritten at great length.

However, the Spaniards were indeed defeated by the pirates, and Britain's seafaring technology at that time was far behind that of Spain, the number one seafaring power, and the Queen of England had no choice but to hire pirates to defeat the Armada by opportunistic means.

Veteran pirates had a thorough understanding of the knowledge and performance of various ships, and were more powerful and effective than regular navies in their time.

It was a depressing history, and for the Spanish, they were reluctant to mention the root causes of their fiasco, because it was too humiliating and not something to brag about for the British, so most textbooks downplayed the matter, and no one wanted to admit the truth of the naval battle.

"If you lose, you will be defeated, there will be no flowers for a hundred days, not to mention Spain, isn't Britain also going into decline? How many years, want to open it!" Ye Fan comforted the old king with the eyes of a bystander, now he is also a comrade-in-arms on the alliance front, the money has been spent, and his attitude has changed.

"No, those pirates created the predecessor of the Illuminati!" "Fereko's face was full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth, "They helped the British expand their colonies, they have waged countless wars over the centuries, and they have amassed countless wealth! They are planning and exploiting all the time, they are robbers by nature, shameless bandits!"

Ye Fan was very surprised, he didn't expect that the source of this organization turned out to be a pirate, "What was the Illuminati like in the beginning......?

"Hmph, Rothschild, but a calculating little businessman, a butler committed to the Duke of England!" Fereco dismisses this, he is an orthodox royal nobleman who looks down on the common people, but this cannot hide the Rothschild's growing strength, wealth rivals the country, and covers the sky with one hand.

"Then why did you establish the hermitage and what is the purpose of your actions?" Combined with the story he had just heard, Ye Fan guessed that the hermitage was probably the product of the decline of Spain and the pursuit of another direction of development.

Freco didn't answer immediately, waved his hand, led everyone into a dark bell tower, and with the key he carried with him, opened a large rusty lock, took the lantern, and illuminated the gloomy passage inside.

Caroline and Flamenco looked at each other in surprise, they didn't know what secrets this place was hiding, and their father had not allowed the abandoned bell tower to be rebuilt, which turned out to be related to the monastics!

Stepping up the ancient stone steps, the group stepped into the dark underground space of the bell tower, which was strewn with dust and cobwebs that had not been entered for at least a few decades.

With his back hunched over, Freec walked steadily to the deepest part of the room, finally to the door of a secret room.

The lantern illuminated the stone door of the secret room, and there was a large lock on it.

Seeing this dusty ancient copper lock, Ye Fan's eyes lit up.

This lock originates from the ancient East, the whole body is made of copper, there are five ring buckles on the top, each ring is engraved with seven words, this is the world's oldest combination lock, called copper five-ring combination lock!

"Where did this lock come from?" Ye Fan pointed to the lock in front of him.

Freecco smiled rarely, "This is the sixteenth-century trade between the royal family and you Orientals, this is an old antique. ”

"Hmm. Ye Fan nodded, watched Fereko open the combination lock, and slowly pushed open the stone door.

A smell that has been dusty for many years and immediately fills people's nostrils.

As the dust fell, Fereko hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed.

"Come in, here...... Ahem, it's a secret kept by the monastic ......"

Before entering this secret room, Ye Fan had quietly glanced a few times, and did not find any traps, only to see four armored people, holding long battle axes, standing in the center of the secret room, posing as guards, under their battle axes, a stone case was quietly placed, and there was a sealed metal box on it.

This should not be a trap, this is the core secret that the hermit has kept for hundreds of years, and Fereko does not dare to lie, and he will not tell this lie.

Everyone's face showed a solemn look, and the time to uncover the mystery was the most exciting moment.

Carrying a lantern, Freco walked into the dusty chamber, and the light illuminated the four medieval armored men, landing on the metal box of the stone case.

"This box ......" Before Freco finished speaking, Ye Fan had already reached out and grabbed the silver box, unscrewed the royal secret lock on it with two clicks, and took out the contents inside.

Several pairs of eyes fell on his hand, and after just one glance, the shiny spherical thing disappeared from Ye Fan's hand.

"Your Excellency, ...... you" Fereko's expression showed a bit of a different color, not to ask Ye Fan for taking the things of the hermitage order, but to show a little excitement that was difficult to contain.

"This is something that belongs to us Oriental Chinese people, and now it belongs to its original owner. Ye Fan had an indifferent attitude, and he was not ashamed of taking other people's things, but on the contrary, he was arrogant.

"Yes, yes, that's right!" said Fereko with an excited look on his face, "We have guarded it for centuries, and today we have finally waited for its owner!

Ye Fan secretly raised his eyebrows, this old man was stunned, he was taken away and treasured, he was not angry but happy, is he really stupid or pretending to be stupid?

"Father, what's going on?" Caroline was puzzled, why was her father so excited?

"Son, this incident originated with the great navigator Christopher Columbus!" Ferreco said with a pair of old eyes and an honorific to Columbus, "at that time, Columbus accidentally rescued a shipwrecked man during his voyage, and it was this dying man who contributed to his discovery of the American continent. As you must have guessed, this man is an Oriental. That's right, when he was dying, he pointed out the direction of the American continent and entrusted the relic to Columbus, hoping that Columbus would protect this thing until someone came to claim it......"

When Columbus first returned to Spain, he told Her Majesty about it, and it was kept in good storage as a royal treasure. But a hundred years later, there is still no one to look for it, at this time Spain has been repeatedly defeated, the situation is extremely unfavorable, the royal family decided to set up a secret organization, in case of the death of the country, can preserve its strength, and make a comeback. ”

"In the midst of internal and external troubles, the royal family remembered this thing, because the Oriental had promised that anyone who came to retrieve this item would fulfill a wish made by the Guardian!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan's face became more and more ugly, okay, this old man actually put him together in the end!

Who knows if what you said is true or not, now that he has taken away what the Hermitage guards, he can't do it if he doesn't recognize that promise!
