Early the next morning, Mr. Lambert took the train straight to the treasure site to inquire about the owner of the land. As the place was not far from London, Mr. Lambert had already gone home at noon.

Seeing Mr. Lambert walk in with a strange expression on his face, his mother Sally asked curiously, "What's the matter? Is it the domain of the royal family or nobles, and we are not allowed to enter the treasure digging?"

"No, not really. Mr. Lambert shook his head, then took a sip of the cup on the table, and said, "When I went there in the morning, I found that the place was a small farm, and there was a dilapidated house in it. People around me told me that this small farm has been managed by an agricultural company for the last dozen years. Its owner had not been to the farm a few times during this time. ”

"Wouldn't that be better? They're not professional farmers anyway, so it's not more likely that they'll agree that we're digging on the farm." Ryan said happily after listening to his father's statement.

"Yes, I was glad to go to the town to check on the owner of the land, and found that it belonged to a lady named Jane Sterling. ”

"Wait, this name is a little familiar, I think I've heard it somewhere, do I know her?" said Sally suddenly.

Lambert nodded, "You must know this lady who went to university and went to London, where she got married to a dentist named Charlotte Granger. ”

Poof, Ryan spat out the water in his mouth, "Father, you mean this treasure is hidden in my classmate Granger's mother's farm?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that's it. Lambert continued, "I think you'll need to use your wizard's methods to contact your classmates, after all, Dr. Granger's family is out on a trip and we can't get in touch with them." ”

"Okay. "Ryan misses the era of mobile phones.

That same evening, Ryan received a reply from Hermione, "Dear Ryan, we are now in Calais waiting for the ship home tomorrow morning. After receiving your letter, my parents were thrilled and they agreed that you would go on a treasure hunt. The only request was to wait for them to come back and go with them, as my parents were also interested in treasure hunting. ”

It seems that the number of treasure hunters has increased again, and now we can only hope that the treasure will be richer at the end. Don't be sorry for everyone being so excited.

On the third day, the morning of the day after the Granger family returned, Ryan and his family drove to the Granger family's farm near Eastbourne.

Because Easter is located at the eastern end of South Downes, it is the sunniest place in the UK. As a result, the town has become a tourist hotspot. Along the way, I saw a lot of vehicles shuttling back and forth on the road.

After arriving in Eastbourne, the car turned east and drove for another ten minutes. The roadside landscape slowly changed from hotels and residences to hedges and farms. Finally, they turned onto a gravel path and reached their destination.

Much like Mr. Lambert's account, Ryan saw a very small farm at the end of the gravel road. The farm's house is a stone bungalow with a steeple roof, but the glass on the windows and the tiles on the roof are in tatters, so it seems that few people usually come here.

Surrounding the house is a chest-high stone fence in which a blue Volkswagen SUV is parked. Looks like Hermione's farm has arrived.

Sure enough, after hearing the sound of a car, the Granger family of three turned out from the back of the dilapidated house. It looked like they were supposed to have a good time on their trip to France, and everyone was sunburned in a healthy wheat.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mother Sally and Mrs. Granger set out in the yard to prepare a picnic while the dads took their children on a treasure hunt.

According to Nick's description, they soon found the large stone embedded in the abandoned wall at the edge of the ranch. According to Mr. Granger's account, it used to be the estate of a French nobleman, which was later sold to Hermione's mother's ancestors, and the stone has not been touched since.

Ryan only realized at this time that Hermione was from a rich family, but think about it. Dentistry at UK universities is one of the most expensive majors. It is impossible for a college student family to be able to support a college student studying dentistry in any case.

In Nick's letter, the boxes were buried in a secret room under the big rock of the car. Moreover, Nick said that the ghost also emphasized that the large rock was part of a secret room, and the door to the secret room could be found by digging from the side.

According to Ryan's place, the two fathers dug with shovels for a while. Sure enough, when digging down about thirty centimeters, several pieces of stone that had obviously been cut were exposed.

This discovery lifted everyone's spirits, and even the two ladies came out of the yard with shovels to help dig on the side. After spending more than an hour, a stone arch measuring two meters in length and width was revealed. Wooden doors and iron deadbolts mounted on the arches were revealed.

There was a lock on the deadbolt, but the two hundred years of wind and rain had completely rusted the lock. Mr. Lambert swung his shovel and smashed the lock off.

Luckily, the door hinge was copper, not rusty, and the door was pushed open with a creak. Everyone found that inside the door was a large pile of black weathered straw stalks, and after cleaning the straw stalks, three wooden boxes with a length and width of nearly one and a half meters and a length of two meters were exposed.

Using the wire rope and pulley on the car, everyone easily dragged the three boxes out of the secret room along the slope that had just been dug out, and the boxes were very sturdy and did not appear to crack as expected.

After a brief lunch, the two gentlemen took the crowbar and prepared to pry open the box to see what was inside. Ryan, on the other hand, had just confirmed that there was nothing dangerous in it through the Dao Law, so he stood aside and looked at it with a smile. Hermione, on the other hand, stood next to her, her eyes wide open with excitement.

The first box contained a pile of beautiful-looking garments embroidered with gold and silver threads, but unfortunately the colors on the garments had become gray due to the passage of time.

The second box was filled with shock-absorbing items such as cotton wool, which were uncovered and a small pile of gold and silver utensils lay underneath. Upon closer inspection it was discovered that it was some of the churches with crosses, incense burners and candlesticks. Mr. Lambert picked one upside down, and said, "It seems to be just gilded, too light." Mr. Granger picked up another cross and nodded, "This cross is silver." Eventually, they discovered that only small pieces smaller than the size of a palm could have been precious metals, while others were at most plated with a layer of gold and silver.

This good treasure is a bit anticlimactic, and everyone is turning their eyes to the last box. This chest differs from the other two chests in that it is painted with black lacquer and carved with some simple patterns.

After opening the last box, Hermione took a look and let out a scream.
