Chapter Twenty-Seven: Gold!
When the oil in the oil lamp was replaced again, Qin Ran stopped.
"Right ahead!"
Qin Ran said so.
But Count Vane didn't have any excitement, but made another gesture of invitation to Qin Ran and Sheriff John, signaling Qin Ran and the two to continue exploring the way.
Obviously, the cunning earl will not act rashly until he really sees the treasure.
"Give me an oil lamp!"
Qin Ran said.
Then, an oil lamp, which had just been filled with oil, was handed over by a dead man.
The light that suddenly appeared in his hand made Qin Ran see the road in front of him more clearly-although he had seen the drawings and Gong Lansen had also described it in detail, it was completely different from seeing it with his own eyes.
The stone steps are completely different from the wet, slippery ground on the way you came.
The bottom of the staircase was already covered in dry mud, and the exposed half was covered with dust.
It's different from the previous foul smell and dampness.
It's dry and smells much more pleasant.
Looking at the thick dust on the steps and the corridor behind him, Count Vane chuckled.
Everything was as he expected, Swoko and Rushan did not find this place, but went to an unknown place.
At the forks in the road, it's not uncommon to get lost without someone who really knows the place leading the way.
"Detective Qin Ran, please continue!"
Count Vane gestured.
"Watch your step!"
Qin Ran reminded Sheriff John and supported the other party and walked up the steps, while the palm of the hand holding the other party's arm moved forward without a trace, and the fingers happened to be placed in the palm of the other party.
The simple writing of words began as the two of them walked forward.
Tru, who was walking behind the two, did not notice.
The Earl of Wayne, who was further away, was likewise unfounded.
The corridor is not long, less than twenty meters.
But it was enough for Qin Ran to inform Sheriff John of some important things.
Sheriff John, on the other hand, did not show any flaws.
The two led the team to the end of the hallway, where a hall appeared in front of everyone.
It was a boxy hall, with walls on the other side except for the corridor, and pillars stood on the remaining two sides, and in front of each pillar there were five steps downward, and down the steps came to the center of the hall, a wide open space.
The floor is made entirely of square bricks.
These bricks have some patterns on them, but they are covered by a thick layer of dust.
Still, everyone was looking at the wall directly opposite.
Although it has faded a little due to the passage of time, anyone can tell that it is a painted painting.
A rising sun!
The coat of arms of the Church of Dawn.
On both sides of the badge are rows of tiny texts engraved on the seals.
Gong Lansen had already explained these words to Qin Ran, so Qin Ran didn't care at all, but the Earl of Wayne, who followed, was attracted by these words.
Even Sheriff John is no exception.
"This is the former council chamber of the Dawn Church!"
"It turns out that they have hidden their wealth here!"
"It's always been at my feet!"
Looking at the words, Count Vane muttered to himself.
The secret information circulating in the family, as well as the investigation from many sides, had already made Count Vane plunge headlong into the situation arranged by Qin Ran and Gong Lansen.
The council chamber in front of you is the real council hall of the Dawn Church.
Built five hundred years ago by the last 'son of God' pope to exist in the record.
Only the true upper echelons of the Dawn Church know.
In fact, there are three people at the top: the Pope, the Holy Maiden, and the Master of the Guardian Order.
Gong Lansen is not the head of the Guardian Knights, but with the Dawn Church disappearing into history, Sister Moni, as the original saint, does not mind telling Gong Lansen more things that originally seemed to be very secret.
Similarly, after Qin Ran said the plan of 'leading the other party into a suitable ambush and killing him with one blow', Gong Lansen informed Qin Ran of this place without reservation.
Qin Ran was overjoyed at this.
What better place to store the millennial wealth of the Dawn Church than the Dawn Church Council in front of you?
And for destroying such a council room, Gong Lansen didn't seem to have any heartache.
In the words of the Guardian Knight, 'There is only a pile of broken stones left, and sooner or later it will be destroyed!' ’
Even when he said this sentence again, Qin Ran clearly saw gloom from the other party's face.
As for Sister Moni?
After Gong Lansen took over, the nun rarely appeared in front of Qin Ran, except for the occasional meal, most of the time she prayed and taught the students.
For that nun, that was all she had.
Moreover, she believed in Gong Lansen immensely.
I believe that Gong Lansen can do his best.
In fact, the same is true.
When he walked into this hall, Qin Ran saw the mark that Gong Lansen had left in the corner.
It means that the Guardian Knight is all set!
Now, he's all left.
Qin Ran glanced around without moving.
He saw that the Count of Vane was drawn to the fresco in front of him, and the dead men were scattered around to protect the Earl.
Only the other party's subordinate named Tru was still closely following him and Sheriff John.
Obviously, Earl Vane has absolute confidence in his subordinate, and he will not worry about what Qin Ran and Sheriff John will do.
And if you look at the appearance, it is the same.
Even the taller, muscular Sergeant John was one size smaller than the other party.
Not to mention Qin Ran.
Therefore, when Qin Ran suddenly turned sideways and flung his legs back, the other party was stunned at first, and then rushed towards Qin Ran with a cruel smile.
Regarding Qin Ran's leg, the other party didn't intend to pay attention to it at all.
In Tru's opinion, Qin Ran's little thin legs will not hurt him at all!
And this made the other party suffer enough.
Call!
Bang!
Qin Ran's left leg slapped on Tru's shoulder with a whirling sound that broke through the air.
The dull thud sounded like a hammer.
In [hand-to-hand combat. Proficient in two-legged fighting] With the blessing of the special effects, Qin Ran, who originally had E-level strength, suddenly gained E+-level power.
Such strength is already at the level of the absolute champion among weightlifters, and it is already one step away from going beyond the ordinary people.
Although Tru is tall and has a lot of fighting experience, he is still in the category of ordinary people, and at most he is stronger than ordinary people.
In the face of such a leg, Tru felt the pain he had not felt for a long time, and the whole person stumbled and almost fell.
And at this time, Qin Ran's second leg arrived.
Almost at the moment when his left foot landed, Qin Ran's right leg kicked straight out, and his right foot kicked Tru's chest fiercely.
Tru, who had just suffered a lot, subconsciously wanted to dodge.
However, he suddenly discovered that Qin Ran's kick was even faster than the previous sudden attack.
【Besica Kick】!
Bang!
Without reservation, Qin Ran kicked on Tru's chest.
Immediately, the other party, who was already stumbling, fell directly to the ground, and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth.
【Hand-to-hand combat. The E+-level strength and agility brought by proficient two-legged fighting] + [Besika's kicking technique] made Qin Ran's two blows work.
"Let's go!"
Qin Ran, who had swept away the only obstacle, did not expand the results again, and ran to the side as soon as he pulled Sergeant John.
"Shoot!"
Count Vane was stunned at first, as if he couldn't accept that Tru would be put down by Qin Ran, and then gave the order very simply.
Bang bang bang!
The muzzle of the flintlock pistol burst into flames, and the smoke from the gunpowder immediately filled the entire hall.
However, Earl Vane could clearly see through the light that Qin Ran and Sheriff John had fallen to the ground moments before his men could shoot, and after the gunshots fell, the two of them stood up again and ran behind the pillars of the hall.
"Kill me ......"
The successive missteps annoyed Earl Vane, and he roared.
However, the sudden appearance of the fire behind him made Count Vane subconsciously turn around.
He saw a tall, sturdy old man, armed with a lit torch, carrying a box at the entrance.
And next to this old man was a young man who had never seen before, who was nervously watching the situation of Qin Ran and Sheriff John in the hall.
"Gong Lansen? You're not even dead?! ”
Count Vane quickly set his eyes on the old man, and his brow immediately furrowed.
He knew the legend of the last guardian knight of the Dawn Church.
However, what made him tremble even more was the box on the other party's shoulder.
What is that?
Earl Vane asked himself.
"You are alive like a wretch, how can I die?"
Gong Lansen pursed the corners of his lips and said.
Then, with a slight movement of the torch, the fuse left outside the box was immediately ignited.
"Yours, give it back to you!"
Gong Lansen threw forward with all his might.
Suddenly, as if it had been thrown by a catapult, the box slammed into Count Vane.
The surrounding dead rushed to the chest, hoping to use their flesh and blood as shields.
The Earl of Vane, on the other hand, had a drastic change in his face.
He already knew what was inside.
After all, Swoko and Ruthhan have a batch of self-help from him. System. Explode. Medicine.
By now, Count Vane would have been a fool if he hadn't understood that Swoko and Ruthhan were already dead, and that he had been fooled from the very beginning.
"Disperse!"
Earl Vane frantically rushed towards the pillar to the side, knowing full well that he would only survive if he stood with enough cover.
At the same time, he reminded the dead soldiers loudly.
Those dead soldiers are his important bargaining chips, and they must not be lost.
Apparently, though, it's a little late.
Rumble!
The sound of a huge explosion echoed in the underground hall, and eleven dead soldiers and Tru, who fell to the ground and vomited blood, were crushed to pieces in the flames and explosions.
The whole hall trembled.
And this kind of jitter is becoming more and more intense over time.
The hall in front of me is about to collapse.
Qin Ran, Sheriff John, who was hiding behind the pillar, and Earl Vain, who also escaped in the explosion, began to rush towards the entrance when they came.
"Hurry up!"
Gong Lansen yelled.
"Sheriff, Your Excellency Qin Ran, hurry up!"
The young man on the side also shouted anxiously.
None of the five noticed the cracks on the mural facing the entrance, like spider webs, that spread and overlapped as the hall trembled.
Eventually-
Rumble!
The whole mural was shattered.
Countless amounts of gold poured out from behind the walls like tidal waves.
