Chapter 65: Temple Gold (I)

The scorching sun scorched the earth, creating a hazy mist on the freshly rained earth, but as the sun continued to shine, the hot and humid feeling was uncomfortable.

Kosenz wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the sky.

Before he could speak, someone began to complain. "Damn it, this terrible weather."

"Don't complain Ethel, we're all the same heat, and patience is a virtue."

As the captain, McLen taught this teammate named Ethel a lesson.

In the face of all this, Cosenz did not speak, but watched coldly from the sidelines.

By the wayside, the group was disguised as a scientific expedition and was currently in a small village called Demilou near the temple.

Remembering that he was in Italy just over a month ago and now in India, Kosenz felt a little unreal.

At first, he didn't expect that this mission was to come to India, but since he took on this mission, he needed to go all out.

So when he was in Italy, he tried to understand the situation in India and also learned some everyday local language.

However, not all of them were here, because there were too many people for fear of being too conspicuous, so they were divided into two groups, dressed as a scientific expedition and a caravan, and Cosenz served as a guard in this scientific expedition. And now they are waiting in this small village for the arrival of another convoy disguised as a caravan (also a convoy).

After arriving here, Kosenz got to know the target. They targeted the Padmanaba Swamy Temple, which was built in the 16th century by order of the king of Travanco, and which has been thriving with incense and worshippers ever since. Although the number of worshippers at the temple has decreased over the years, it is still quite thriving.

So if they want to enter the temple, they have to choose at night. Of course, this is a matter of waiting for the convergence, otherwise if there is too much wealth in the temple, they will not be able to move away.

And just then, a figure ran over.

This was the man sent to liaise with the other team, and Cosenz remembered his name as Pino.

I saw a sweaty Pino panting and running in front of Captain McClen, "Captain, the caravan will probably arrive here tomorrow evening." ”

Hearing the news that Pino had brought back, Captain McLaen stood up at once. "Alright boys, now we have something to do."

McLene's words immediately caused the people present to surround him.

"Ethel, you and Simon, let's explore the road tonight."

The two people he named immediately replied. "Yes, sir." "No problem, sir."

"Remember, you can't be found by the people at the temple."

The two of them, who were warned, hurriedly nodded their heads, indicating that they were listening carefully.

"Luna, Tracy, Cole, the three of you are going to observe the road from the temple to the outside, and you need to consider passing by heavy vehicles."

"Okay, understood."

The combination of two women and one man immediately answered.

McLaan then continued to arrange for the others to observe all aspects of the temple, preparing to start as soon as the convoy disguised as a caravan arrived.

Cosentz, who was standing on the sidelines, was not in a hurry about these arrangements at all, because they had different tasks, or they were more about protecting the safety of the team.

Of course, they couldn't do nothing else, but after arranging everyone else for a task, McLaen spoke to Cosentz. "I have a mission that I need help from your people."

"Please."

"You're on the periphery to take care of the wind for us, and if, I say, if there's any big movement, then you need to rush in as soon as possible."

"No problem."

Now that the tasks have been assigned, the people present immediately make all preparations.

After dark, a figure quietly bypassed the villagers and made their way to the temple.

At night, the Padmanaba Swamy Temple is towering and mysterious, and a figure dressed in dark clothes creeps up to the temple.

A yawning monk guarding the temple patrols the temple with a lamp. As a Brahmin temple, there will inevitably be donations from many devotees, and in order to prevent malicious prying eyes, then the necessary guardian power is also inevitable.

However, these guards from the people, where are the opponents of professionals, and in a place where the monks did not notice, two figures slipped in without realizing it.

The Padmanaba Swamy Temple is not small, with several disconnected buildings, but the two figures, as if they had found their target, stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated building after passing through the two temple buildings.

"Look at the map and this is it."

One of them took the map, looked through it for a while, and then whispered it.

"Then let's be careful."

The two cautiously entered the building, which was densely carved with statues of gods, and in the center was the Hindu statue of the burning sky. After carefully observing the two, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there was no one to protect them.

So the bold two immediately began to look everywhere.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The two men who were carefully banging on the walls suddenly heard a hollow sound.

"This should be it."

One of them pointed out and continued. "I'll open it and take a look."

"Don't, we can't afford to alarm others and cause the plan to fail."

"If you're afraid of anything, just take a look."

The other person was a little moved by what was said, and stopped talking.

So with the joint efforts of the two, they pried open the wall tiles and found that there was a hole inside.

"You look outside, I'll go in and have a look."

Without waiting for his companion to reply, a thin man slipped in.

After waiting for a while, the man came out disappointed.

"How's that, what's inside?"

"It's weird, there's nothing in there, it's empty."

"How is this possible?"

The other didn't believe it, and he got in. After a while, he came out with the same disappointed expression.

After the two pressed the wall tiles back, they cleaned the floor and then touched the next spot.

When it was almost dawn, the members of the expedition team gathered together again.

"Tell me, what you've observed?"

As the captain, McClen immediately summoned everyone to understand the situation.

"We observed that there were very few people in the temple at night."

"We've tried the road, and it's able to withstand a loaded wagon."

“……”

After everyone had finished speaking, McLaan asked as he looked at the duo who had slipped into the temple. "Tell me, what did you find?"

"According to the previous topographical map, we found two empty secret rooms, plus the four marked on the map, for a total of six secret rooms. However, for fear of being discovered, we did not attempt to open these secret rooms. ”

"Very well, you all go down and rest."

Everyone was about to get up and go back to rest, when suddenly McLaen stopped Cosentz. "Vice-Captain, wait a minute."

Since he was stopped, there must be something important, so he waited until everyone else was gone, and then Cosenz asked. "Is there something wrong?"

"Do you have any explosives in your team?"

"Yes."

"I don't know if you have a way to use a silent blast."

"That's fine, but you need to prepare the ingredients."

"It's okay, I'll let people buy it."
