Chapter 119: The Countess of Crawford
The couple persuaded their daughter to apologize to little Sheldon, but the little girl didn't say a word, just stared at little Sheldon with fierce eyes, so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
Little Shelton's mother, Mary, learned that her baby Shelly was being bullied by a neighbor's little girl, and insisted that her husband George go and talk to the other party's parents.
George knew the complexity of bullying, and he couldn't just talk to the other party's parents to deal with it, because he was a member of the school bully in the first place.
But in the face of his wife's tough demands, George could not refute them.
Reluctantly, he went to the other party's door and knocked on the door, and after explaining the reason, the neighbor's face was full of disbelief, not believing that his cute six-year-old daughter would bully little Sheldon.
Under the girl's denial, she had no choice but to stop in the end, after all, according to the eyes of ordinary people, this bullying should be reversed.
Then the little girl quickly blocked little Sheldon in the garage, so frightened that he broke his leg in order to avoid the little girl.
The nightmare of the past coincided with the current situation, and in the face of the girl's fierce eyes, little Sheldon even thought of being thrown into the sea by the other party.
He was so frightened that he couldn't even say a word for help, and he opened his mouth but couldn't spit out a single note.
"Something happened."
Locke finally came to the side at this time, glanced at little Sheldon's wet pants, and asked with a smile.
Little Sheldon seemed to have found the backbone, and quickly hid behind Locke, although this guy usually bullied himself, but it was much better than the girl in front of him who was going to split his body.
"I'm Laura's father, Richard Crawford." The girl's father shook Locke's hand: "I'm sorry, Laura, she's a little too rude." ”
'Laura Crawford' didn't expect it to be the future goddess of treasure hunting, and little Sheldon was also lucky, and now he just fell into a panda eye.
If he provokes the other party ten years later, maybe Laura will directly take a gun and make a hole in his head.
"Rock Lee, nice to meet you." After Locke shook hands with the other party, he noticed Laura looking at him and smiled at her: "It's okay, if it's little Sheldon, I can actually understand it." ”
"Why can she be forgiven for such unreasonable behavior?" Little Sheldon was finally able to speak at this point.
"Because every time someone does something to you, there's a reason." Locke stared at him expressionlessly: "Now you better go back to the hotel and change your pants first." ”
Little Sheldon only realized that his pants were abnormal at this time, and he had no shame to continue to stay here, so he could only leave quickly.
Seeing little Sheldon fleeing in embarrassment, little Laura's face showed a smile, and thinking of Locke's words just now, her gaze at him softened a lot.
After little Sheldon left, the atmosphere quickly came back to life, and the guests who had noticed it all retracted their gaze and continued to talk.
“…… Count Crawford's profound study of history was an eye-opener for me. Locke complimented, "And your spirit of adventure is also amazing." ”
"Perhaps it's because of my dedication to exploring the unknown of history, and my wife, Amelia, has also helped me a lot in the process."
Richard smiled and put his arms around his wife's waist: "I didn't expect you to have a deep study of the history of medieval Europe. ”
"I'm interested in medieval history, especially the legends associated with the Knights Templar."
Locke knew that Amelia was also a double doctor of archaeology and art, and the husband and wife were able to walk together, and their relationship has always been very good, just because of their common hobby.
"Knights Templar?!" Hearing the name, Richard Crawford's eyes shrank slightly.
"Yes, actually, I'm also curious if the current Knights Templar will survive thousands of years." Locke said with a smile.
"I've also been concerned that every once in a while, someone comes out and says that they are once descendants of the Knights Templar or something, but it turns out to be false."
Richard said, "So I think the Knights Templar have mostly disappeared into history, and even if someone makes a name, it is probably for the sake of fame and fortune." ”
The Knights Templar have been around for almost a thousand years since their founding.
During this long period of time, the Knights Templar had its glory and its darkest moments, and it was almost completely killed by the Church of the French Union.
Even in order to leave a way back, many members of the Knights Templar who left England were forced to rush to the Americas, which were still wild places.
After harvesting the treasures beneath the Trinity Church, Locke also read the large number of parchment scrolls inside.
In addition to some of the previous history, it also records that the situation of the Knights Templar in England was relatively critical, and in order to leave a way back, some members came to the Americas with treasures.
But it is clear that the group of people who remained in the Americas, who later took the initiative to become independent for the sake of rights, have split with the British.
The parchment scroll records the main members of the Knights Templar who came to the Americas, and Locke checked the history of these people, most of whom have been silent.
But there are a few families that have survived successfully in the United States, becoming part of a small group of people who control resources.
However, such a long time of inheritance has also made these families not completely harmonious, and there will be no shortage of fighting and cooperation between each other.
From the perspective of American history, the disappearance of some of these families is the product of their struggle with each other.
The treasure under Trinity Church has not been discovered for so long, and it is very likely that they lost clues about the treasure in the process of fighting.
As for the Knights Templar on the British side, according to Locke's speculation, it should have a lot to do with the Holy Trinity Organization in Tomb Raider.
It's just that Locke doesn't know if Crawford and his wife are also connected to the Holy Trinity.
Although Laura will not be against Trinity in the future, it does not mean that the Crawford couple are unaware of this organization.
It is even possible that the couple is still a member of the Holy Trinity, otherwise how could those people who have deep friendships around them have so many members who have a relationship with the Holy Trinity.
Seeing the reaction of the Lauras, Locke thought of the parchment scroll in the treasure and the palm-sized Divine Eye medallion.
According to the description in the parchment scroll, it was a tiger talisman or jade seal from the ancient times of the Eastern Kingdom, and it was a kind of evidence representing power.
Maybe in the future, if you have the chance, you can pretend to be a descendant of the Knights Templar, and then get in touch with those ancient organizations.
But after thinking about it, the danger of this plan is still quite high, just say that the Divine Vision Medal, others don't recognize it, let alone who commands it, most likely it will bring danger.
Such a secret organization, just introduce the origin, if you watch a movie, the audience will know that most of them are villains, and if you want to mix with these people, you really have to sleep with one eye open.
Since a secret organization can exist for thousands of years, who knows what the power really is, and what thoughts are made of a new member who suddenly appears.
In Europe, it is said that it is free and equal, but in fact it pays special attention to the inheritance of blood and surnames.
If Locke suddenly appears, he will most likely be regarded as an existence that wants to share the cake and divide the benefits, and the possibility of being targeted is too great.
From what is known so far, the Knights Templar also retained considerable influence in the United States, just like the heads of the FBI in the national treasure.
The Knights Templar who remained in England should have been deeply integrated with the British aristocratic system, and had been deeply rooted in England and within the nobility, and the power of the Holy Trinity could be seen in the Tomb Raider.
Therefore, it is better to stabilize for the time being, unless your own power develops further, you don't have to worry about these things, and you may be able to implement this idea and make use of the resources of these organizations when the time comes.
