Chapter 3 Conspiracy

The consultants were placed in a very high-end hotel, and they were given a certain degree of freedom, of course, as long as they left the room, they were followed and monitored at all times.

After changing into clean clothes, the trio were invited to the hotel's restaurant, where the advisors and gunsmiths had been waiting for a long-awaited feast.

It was a long dining table, long enough for the people sitting at the opposite ends to speak. For the first half hour, Lodovico could barely communicate with them. With the exception of John DeSoto, the other two kept stuffing things into their mouths as if they hadn't eaten in days.

And you can hear conversations like that......

"Hand me that piece of butter. ”

"Okay. After two seconds of froze, "Hey, this is the first time we've seen solid fuel since we burned that cat." ”

"yes, it's the first time we've eaten since we ate those sled dogs. ”

"To those dogs. Raise your glass.

"To the cat. "Clink glasses and drink it all.

Lodovico didn't know what the gang had been through on the way here, but it didn't sound like a pleasant story.

John the Explorer only took a few symbolic bites and behaved normally, but of the three, the most normal person seemed abnormal. Lodovico always felt that this explorer had an indescribable strange feeling, and he really couldn't talk to him.

Finally, after sitting there for nearly an hour with the Inspector General of the Holy Land, Master Agostino Lodovico, eating and drinking, the adviser wiped his mouth and said, "Almost, let's talk about the excavation." ”

"Before we begin, Mr. Advisor, I would like you to tell us openly and honestly how much you know about our excavations, and where did you get this top-secret information?"

"You don't have to inquire about the channel, it's a unique way to reverse the cross, and you don't have to suspect who is a traitor, and it's a vain investigation if you check it. The advisor replied, "As for what I know so far, I can tell you that there must be more than you think, and I even know a lot of things that even your Grand Master and Master Priest don't know. He paused and said, "Hmm...... When did you start...... Let's talk about it from 1307......"

Lodovico said, "Are you going to talk about getting dark?"

"I'm old, but I don't have much patience. The advisor shrugged and said, "Then I'll start with the fact that Count Cizet de Beauge and his 'architects' stole the treasure in 1314, after the destruction of the Templars."

The treasures of the Knights Templar were divided into two parts, and the priceless treasures, including the crowns of the kings of Jerusalem, the seven candlesticks of King Solomon, and the four golden gospels, were all in the pillars of the altar of the Templar Church, and the Count carried them all away in the coffin of his uncle the Grand Master.

The vast wealth plundered by the Templars, i.e., the real money, was transferred long before Black Friday, Philip IV did not get what he really wanted, the financial problems were not solved, and his co-conspirator, Pope Claremont V, also fetched water, and the two of them fulfilled the 'curse' after Molay was burned at the stake, and died a mysterious death.

The next thing was gone, and Count Guichet de Beauge, who had sworn to hide it until the 'end of the world', needed a very safe place, at least from his point of view at the time, so that it would never be discovered.

In the twentieth century, some people speculated that the treasure was in the Château d'Argny or the Château de Babezière, France, based on some of the hidden symbols left behind by the Templars, while others thought that it was near the hamlets of Bazas, Agen, and the small villages of Les Corles in Hendre-et-Loire.

After Black Friday, the main body of the Templars appeared to be destroyed, but members outside of France were not greatly affected, and few were executed. If I were the count, why would I hide the treasure in the enemy's territory? The Holy Roman Empire is huge, and I have many options. ”

Lodovico interrupted, "Now that we've all dug here, it seems like you're only an afterthought. ”

"Huh...... That's right. The consultant showed a look that seemed to say, "You are so pathetic", and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's talk about it here, we are also tired today, you can arrange for us to go to the excavation site tomorrow morning for a field observation." ”

At this point, Lodovico regretted it a little, it seemed that the advisor had something to say just now, but because he was interrupted, he simply swallowed the words. Now if you want him to talk about it again, it is estimated that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Lodovico had a feeling of being teased, but it was indeed his own initiative to interrupt the other party's narration, and he could only sigh: "Okay, then everyone use it slowly, I will miss the company first." ”

After he left, the three people who were in the cross were left at the table. In addition to the attendants walking around, there were also six knights in charge of the Iron Commandment, who were standing guard, watching them from a distance of about ten meters. But they didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and continued to sit there and eat peacefully.

"Advisor!" Vanessa called his name and slapped him in the back.

She came suddenly, and I don't know if it was intentional, but the consultant was putting a mouthful of soup into her mouth and almost choked to death.

He coughed desperately, but she pulled a stool, sat next to him, supported the table with one hand, and said with her cheeks: "The first time I saw a real person, it turns out that you are so virtuous." ”

The gunsmith looked at him coldly, shook his head and sighed, "This is retribution." ”

John, played by Darkwater, stood up: "I'll go back first." As he left, two knights had plastered on him.

The advisor gasped and said, "Aren't you in Red Lion County?"

"Huh, I can't walk around the headquarters?" replied Vanessa.

"Who is in charge of the apostles now?"

"Whoever you love, it's been invaded by you anyway, I don't care. She picked up the dessert on the table and put it to her mouth.

The advisor smiled, "You're here just to see me?"

"Isn't that possible?" Vanessa asked rhetorically.

"Okay~ I just don't believe it. The advisor said: "In my opinion, you are going to wait until the stage of 'crossing the river and demolishing the bridge', that is, when our use value is squeezed out, and then participate in the interrogation of me." ”

"Nonsense, the Iron Ring and the Reverse Cross are now 'cooperative', and after cooperation, people will be arrested, who will dare to cooperate with us in the future?" Venisha paused and said, "So, except for you, the other two can be let go." ”

"You really dare to admit anything. The advisor said.

"If you can't deceive something, just explain it as soon as possible. Vanessa replied, there were words in the sentence that seemed to imply something to the advisor.

Of course, the advisor had long expected what the Iron Ring would do after it was completed, but he really didn't expect Vanessa to appear here, but since she had already appeared, then ...... It only took a second for the advisor to come up with a plan: "By the way, are you interested in treasure hunting?"

"You want to invite me to play with you, don't you?" Vanessa asked, and before the advisor could answer, she rushed first: "The stage of 'crossing the river and demolishing the bridge' you just said didn't just refer to us, you also have your own set of plans, and if I were present at that time, wouldn't it be the best choice for hostages." ”

"That's right, I'm still quite confident that your identity is extraordinary, although I still don't know what it is, but it won't affect our deterrence when we kidnap you. The advisor said.

"You dare to admit anything. With that, Vanessa got up and left, not answering the advisor's question.

The gunsmith glanced at the woman's back and said to the advisor, "It's very powerful, I saw through your plan at once." ”

"She'll come. The advisor said.

"Ahh

"Yes, definitely. The advisor replied confidently.

"I don't know if she's smart or stupid. The gunsmith said.

"Of course it's smart, it's extremely smart. The advisor replied, "She moves with us, she can keep track of what we're moving anytime and anywhere, she sees more and thinks farther than anyone else, so she has the opportunity to see what we're going to do." In this way, it will be possible to solve the problem before the stage of 'crossing the river and demolishing the bridge'. She would be stupid if she didn't come along. In order to ensure their own safety, but they give up the overall situation, and in the end, it is very likely that they will lose everything. ”

The gunsmith said, "Hey, since that's the case, you still take the initiative to invite her?"

The advisor smiled: "No wonder Tianyi always says that you are an idiot, do you really think that she came from Red Lion County on purpose, just to throw a flattering look at me in front of me......?" Even if I don't invite her, she will definitely participate in the exploration of the ruins, and I just offered to do it just out of politeness, to give her an opportunity to make everything clear. ”

"Well, you 'smart people'......" he made a quotation mark with the index and middle fingers of both hands...... It's your business how you fight, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"Yes. The advisor said, "Don't touch her." ”

"Huh?" the gunsmith froze.

"Never touch her. The advisor repeated and added with all seriousness.

"Don't worry, I've seen your intentions a long time ago, and I don't plan to mix it up, and besides, this type is not my cup of tea......" said the gunsmith.

"That's not what I meant. "I mean, don't have any physical contact with her, don't touch her, and don't let her touch you," the advisor said. He smiled bitterly: "You are really not good at energy knowledge, haven't you discovered that I have already fallen into her ability?"

Something flashed through the gunsmith's mind, and he exclaimed, "She slapped you just now?"

The advisor said, "Yes, that was the time. At this moment I knew that there was some kind of energy from her attached to me, but I couldn't undo it until she used it, and I didn't know what form her power would take. ”
