Chapter 7: The Cave in the Sea
Recommended Ticket!
――――――――
Fang Hong's boat was almost stopped directly above the mountain, the iron mark drooping, and the rope was straight. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Fang Hong went down the rope.
Near the entrance of the cave, the visibility was very, very high, but it was already dark after a short distance from the entrance.
From the topography point of view, this so-called submarine mountain peak should be one of the few submarine peaks in the vicinity.
In terms of topography, it is very likely that that the flat slope was still exposed to the sea 700 years ago.
If that's the case, then this place is a super island no more than a quarter of a football field, and it is so far from the coast that it is simply not suitable for habitation.
At the same time, this cave was equivalent to a cave about six meters high on a cliff that suddenly appeared on a small island, and absolutely no one would climb into it to see, and it was indeed a good place to hide treasures.
If this inference is correct, then the sinking of the island may even have misled Queen John in his search for this treasure.
This is the real reason why later archaeologists, adventurers, and treasure hunters swept every inch of Lincolnshire with metal detectors, and even found horseshoes from many years ago, but could not find the treasure.
After the sinking of this island, it no longer belongs to Lincolnshire, not even to Interland.
And this time, the most important thing for Fang Hong was not to find the so-called gold, silver and jewelry of that year, because the whole of Interland was not as good as a wealthy family in China at the same time.
What makes this treasure so alluring is that it holds an amazing treasure in it.
That is, the Iron Crown!
It all started 900 years ago, when William I, the ancestor of the current British royal family, was not qualified to succeed to the throne because he was a French nobleman and an illegitimate child.
In the legal theory of that year, although illegitimate children also had the right to inherit, there were still many men in the family of William I, and the title of Duke of Normandy was not his turn at all.
He was lucky enough to become the Duke of Normandy in France.
The young Duke of Normandy waged a long war against the rebellious Norman nobles, and was eventually victorious.
Then, the royal heirs of England were cut off, and the King of France supported the Duke of Normandy as King of England.
And the old-school English aristocracy considered William I to be an illegitimate child, a descendant of a cobbler, and was not qualified to be king.
William I was a decisive man, comprehensively suppressing the Anglo-Saxon aristocracy, propping up the Normans and becoming the new nobility.
It was also from him that Interland went from a primitive country of slavery to a feudal state.
In the face of all kinds of ridicule and attacks from the old nobles, William I succeeded to the throne with an iron ring as a crown.
If you look closely at the crowns throughout Europe, there are two main types, one is to add decoration to the bowler's hat, which represents the papal crown and the French crown.
The other is the ring crown without closure, and eventually the ring crown replaced the hat crown and became the mainstream crown of European royal families, all of which began with the iron crown of William I.
If it was just an iron ring, then this thing, although it is profound, can never be called an amazing treasure.
The successive British kings were all masters who were good at conquest and decisive killing.
These British kings are constantly increasing their honor in the Iron Crown.
The second king of England recast the iron crown and filled it with gold for his enthronement.
Third ......
Until another British king, King Lionheart.
In Chinese history textbooks, only the deeds of three English kings appear explicitly in the textbooks, the first being William I, the second being Charles I the Lionheart, and the third being Elizabeth I.
The Lionheart is called this because he was locked in a lion cage, and in the end he survived holding the lion's heart, Charles I was more glorious and legendary than William I's iron-blooded life, and more than ten years of his imperial career was basically spent in war, including the Crusades.
Eventually, he added six brilliant diamond-shaped squares to the golden ring of the Iron Crown, and later the Tudor dynasty changed this symbol to the rose.
After King Lionheart, this crown adds another legendary twist.
He was succeeded by King John.
When Charles I was imprisoned in a lion cage, he rebelled to ascend to the throne, but he failed, and Charles I forgave him and named him to succeed him, so King John was eligible for the Iron Crown.
When the Iron Crown came into the hands of King John, it changed dramatically.
Between the six squares, six taller spear flowers were erected, and every inch of the Iron Crown was inlaid with colorful gemstones.
Pink diamonds, emeralds, amber, sapphires, rubies, black agate, white pearls.
In the end, the Iron Crown finally changed from a taunt of an old nobleman to a taunt of the world by a brutal man.
However, after a four-day crusade of nobles, the crown was lost forever.
No one has ever seen King John wear this crown, which symbolizes the glory and glory of his ancestors.
Because of its disappearance, the portrait of Charles I in every era, the crown on his head is the crown of the era of that time.
Because of its disappearance, the British royal family later minted twenty-five crowns, losing its tradition.
Because of its disappearance, the era before King John seems to have become a blank in British history.
There is no strict record in the history books, and there is no proof of the inheritance of cultural relics.
If you compare the short history of Interland with the history of China, the Iron Crown is the heirloom jade seal of the Interlanders!
Of course, because of its disappearance, there will be jokes about the world's gems and the coronation day of the succession.
There will be the embarrassment that the British royal family needs different crowns on different occasions.
Among the treasures are rumored to be William I's golden scepter, King Arthur's Ring, and a box of gold coins that were rare to see back then.
However, King Arthur, who was famous in battle, and William I, who killed wildly, left behind only personal legends, and only this iron crown is the foundation of the British royal inheritance.
A hundred years ago, the British royal family used Wensha, the castle built by William I, as the surname, didn't they just want to inherit the 900-year-old bloodline?
Although the male lineage has been broken repeatedly, the surname has been changed and the dynasty has been changed, Wensha still considers himself a descendant of William I.
If he gets the Iron Crown, the British royal family will smash the pot and sell iron, and it will also have to satisfy Fang Hong's thirst for Chinese cultural relics in the Xiaoying Museum.
Fang Hong looked at the swarthy hole, turned on the recorder, swung his flippers, and swam into the hole.
Searchlights light up the road inch by inch.
Inch by inch, there are speckling plankton in the transparent waters.
Descending from the cave, Fang Hong's eyes widened!
Ladder!
It's a staircase!
This is a cave that has been dug by hand!
Is it possible for the ancients to carve caves at the bottom of the sea more than 10 meters?
No possibility!
Unless it is carved and then sunk into the sea.
King John's treasure?
That Shakespeare's cunning, cunning, empty-eyed King John?
The landless king who did not have a fief because his French fief was given to all his brothers by his father, because he was angry about his wealth and fief all his life, and King John, who looted the whole of Interland, left behind a legendary treasure?
The stone stairs descended step by step, while Fang Hong floated and swam in the cave, as if leading to hell.
Fang Hong knew that as long as he saw the legendary treasure chest, he would become the most hated person in Interland, and he would never be able to get to this land from now on.
This is a kind of torture in the soul of an adventurer.
However, if you don't find it if you have the opportunity to exchange it for the lost Chinese treasure, it will be a whip for the ancestors without a face behind you.
The lamp, shining brightly, was a pile of crumbling stones in front of it.
A little reflection trance Fang Hong.
In the pile of rocks, a reflection was projected!
