Chapter 348: Treasure
Everyone was fighting, only the old god Bella stood behind and watched, and only after all the eighteen undead who appeared unexpectedly were killed, she waved her hand and motioned for the team to continue walking inside.
They followed Buckington. Ryan's burial chamber passage went down, walked out of the passage, and finally stopped next to a pure wooden elevator, it was dark below, Sean threw a glow stick down, calculated the height in his heart, and finally said with some surprise: "This depth is at least one hundred and fifty meters, it is unimaginable that they could dig such a deep passage in the era when there were no modern excavation machines." ”
Bella is not surprised, the Knights Templar have always been rich, very rich! Being rich means being able to do a lot of things that ordinary people find incredible.
She looked at the wooden elevator that was wobbly and looked like it was going to fall apart, it looked dangerous, it could only carry three or five people at a time, and then it had to transport gold and silver treasures, and it was estimated that it would fall apart if it could not be transported twice.
Sharpening the knife and cutting wood, her voice was rather soft, "Mr. Sean and I will go down with you, and the rest of us will replace all the wooden structures here with metal." ”
Seeing that 006 was about to speak, she added, "You can come too." ”
The three of them stood on a wooden elevator and descended deeper into the ground little by little.
The wooden elevator was rotting badly, and after a loud and overwhelming sound, they finally descended to the bottom, and then the three of them walked down the spiral staircase, little by little.
Many of the planks on the spiral staircase have been eaten by insects, and they crunch when stepped on.
Bella is a woman like this, her steps are light, and she walks without making a sound. Hastings wears glasses, is thin, and can make a living, 006 is different, the Cossacks are tall and strong, and their weight is a cut higher than them, so you need to be careful about the planks under your feet, for fear that if one of them misses, it will fall completely.
They meander down the spiral staircase, Bella still wearing the white robe that looks a little out of place here, she goes to the bottom first, opens a mechanism on the wall, and Sean and 006 work together, and the two push open a thick stone door.
Walking through the dark passage, the three of them came to a stone chamber of less than 20 square meters, the wall skin on the stone wall was mottled, there were only a few scattered stone chairs on the scene, and there were broken wooden crates and some cobweb-covered utensils in the corners, not to mention treasures, there was not a single gold coin in sight.
006 was full of expectations, but the empty stone room still disappointed him.
Don't talk about him, even Sean. Hastings, the always witty and optimistic Assassin, was depressed at this point.
He felt that his side had tried so hard to end up in vain, and that the Knights Templar might have already transferred the treasure.
Bella's gaze scanned the surroundings and quickly said to 006, "Pipe." ”
Pipe? What's that? 006's brain turned around twice before she realized that she was referring to herself and Ben. The pipe that Gates got from the wreck of the USS Charlotte.
He opened his backpack and took out his pipe, not knowing what to do with it.
Bella pointed to a wall, "The Knights Templar like to play tricks, Mr. Eric, look there, there are four symbols on the wall: the eye, the compass, the pyramid, and the wall." ”
As soon as she said this, 006 and Sean immediately looked over.
To put it so clearly, no one is a fool.
006 rips off the cobwebs from the wall, and the four symbols look clearer.
The symbols of the eyes, compasses and pyramids are badly corroded, with only a significant pit at the place of the city wall.
006 took out the pipe, removed the handle, and stuffed the wall-shaped pipe into the pit, then turned it counterclockwise for half a turn and pressed it against the bulge.
The next moment, a dull 'boom' sound sounded, and the three of them turned their heads in unison, and saw a dark passage one person wide revealing from the wall on the left.
Bella walked in as if she were at home.
006 and Sean hurriedly followed.
The passage is not long, more than 50 meters, when turning a corner, the eyes suddenly open up, this is an area of more than 800 square meters, more than 20 meters high underground cave.
The site is splendid, and the entire area is piled with gold, silver, jewelry, and jade agate.
This treasure can be traced back to the time of Alexander the Great's crusades, when the Macedonian army swept across the Western world, and the soldiers hoarded countless treasures by fighting for war, and then these treasures were discovered by the Knights Templar during the Crusades, and in modern times, they transported the treasures to the Americas until the establishment of the United States and lost a key clue.
The site is full of statues, armor, ornate ornaments and stone slabs in the style of ancient Egyptian, ancient Babylonian, ancient Persian and other civilizations, and boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, crowns and scepters are scattered together.
The shelves on both sides of the treasure room also contain ancient scrolls collected from all over the world, which have been specially treated by ancient secret techniques and have not been damaged much even after two thousand years.
Bella had never been much interested in gold, silver and jewelry, and if she wanted to, she would be the richest man in the world, but she cared about these scrolls, these well-preserved ancient knowledge, and just by a cursory glance, she found that some of them were older than the Galilee Iron Book she had excavated.
"Wow, wow! Shouldn't I say something at this point? Say thank you for helping me find the treasure and you can rest in peace? Sean pushed his glasses and said in a villainous tone.
Bella looked at him speechlessly, Hollywood's routines are really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, how can there be so many reversals in reality, do you think my mind-reading ability is fake?
Seeing that Sean was ready to skin it, she didn't object, she knew that Sean was saying these words to 006.
006, who was already poor enough to sell watches and wear old suits, snorted and said with pride: "I'm not short of money." ”
Seeing that he was slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, Bella was in a good mood, and she also smiled at this time: "You have invested a lot in the early stage, so let's do it, this batch of treasures will be five percent for you, and you should be able to compensate for your losses tenfold." ”
Five percent of the treasure can compensate for one's loss tenfold? 006 wanted to ask how much this treasure was worth, but he held back with greater perseverance, saying anything at this time would easily cause misunderstanding, if he didn't want to see this treasure with his own eyes, he shouldn't come!
Bella didn't even look at the gold, silver and jewelry, she went straight to those ancient books, money? Money was only numbers to her, and the scrolls were a hundred times more precious than all the gold, silver, and jewelry on the scene combined.
006 stood in a daze in the distance, Bella was bent on studying those ancient scrolls, and the scene could only be carried out by Sean. Hastings was in charge of the count, and he was to estimate an approximate price.
