As time went on, only the footsteps of the Vaal trio remained on the scorching pavement, and although it was not clear, it could travel far in this dry and empty field.

"Hey, look! This is the mark of our people, and it seems that the destination should not be far away. Val suddenly saw something on the side of the road and shouted loudly and happily.

"Shut up! Val. Do you want everyone to know about our mission? The captain scolded again, but there was a bit of joy in his tone.

Although I can endure it, walking on such an empty and hot road, the sun above my head can make people break down.

Now that they are very close to their destination, it proves that their boring journey is coming to an end.

"Rest in the shade of the tree for ten minutes, and then continue on your way. Try to get to the temple before the sun sets today, and then explore the road at night. The leader first glanced at the still hot sun overhead, and then looked at the shade of the trees not far away.

Val and the other man breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the order, and each chose a shaded spot to rest.

At night, somewhere in southern India.

In the dead of night, some people in dark clothes quietly appeared near the temple, and they first wandered around the temple, and marched to different areas with great tacit understanding.

After inquiring about the nearby terrain and situation, they gathered next to the temple and looked into the temple.

Barty Crouch's order was to inquire about the news near the temple, and since it was not said that he was not allowed to enter the temple, then the temple was naturally within the scope of the news.

As the largest temple in the princely states of India, the temple called Padmanaba Swami naturally has its own garrison.

Especially when there are a lot of believers in India, the donations of believers are also a lot of wealth.

In order to protect these riches from malicious prying eyes, the garrison of the temple is also quite strong, even in the dark night when you can't see your fingers, there are two patrol teams with torches to patrol.

But it is clear that these guardian forces, which are made up entirely of Indian civilians, are definitely no match for the Royal Security Intelligence Service.

In a corner that the monks and guards hadn't noticed, a few athletic intelligence officers slipped in.

The size of the temple is very large, it is not a complete building, but a large temple made up of several disconnected buildings.

After exploring all the buildings, the intelligence officers found nothing.

According to their exploration, this temple, like other temples in India, has basically no other differences except for the relatively large area.

But Director Barty Crouch doesn't always entertain them, does he? Australia is so far away from India that everyone believes that they came here for more than just an ordinary temple.

"Hey! Here, look here! ”

The people who were searching immediately heard this obvious shout, and hurriedly rushed to the source of the sound.

It is a somewhat dilapidated-looking building in the heart of the temple. Unlike other opulent-looking buildings in the area, this one is a bit old and in disrepair, so it doesn't look like it's used very often.

Even the path in front of the building was overgrown with weeds, and it was clear that not many people had come here.

Everyone looked at each other and thought that there must be something strange about this building. Is it really normal to have a dilapidated building in such a palatial temple, and almost no one comes?

You know, this temple has countless worshippers during the day, and most of the buildings are crowded with people.

In such a situation, such a dilapidated building that is inaccessible is a bit special.

The crowd sneaked inside, and sure enough, they noticed that this place was different from the rest of the place.

Most of the temple's garrison was on the periphery, that is, patrols with torches outside.

There is basically no protection in the temple, which is why everyone has explored so smoothly.

But now, there are actually two guards standing guard in such a dilapidated building, although the guards are sleepy and almost asleep, it is absolutely undeniable that there must be something important hidden in this building.

Because they didn't want to startle the snake, everyone chose to retreat after a simple exchange.

I've almost gotten to the news of the temple tonight, and I've discovered the oddities inside the temple.

The next thing to do is to wait for Barty Crouch's next order, and then decide whether to go inside the building or not.

What all the intelligence officers didn't expect was that the purpose of this operation was really the building inside the temple.

Although he missed a good opportunity to enter, he did have a better understanding of the situation around the temple and inside it.

Barty Crouch made the decision to re-enter the temple that night after gathering everyone.

Barty Crouch knew what was in the temple and was therefore well prepared.

Except for a small group of people who continue to explore the inside of the temple, the rest of the people are looking for an opportunity to deal with the patrolling guards of the temple outside, and take care of the people inside the temple.

As long as all the guards on the outside are eliminated, the people inside the temple can transport it to the door and load it after finding out the specific treasure.

It's still the same dilapidated building, it's still two guards standing and falling asleep.

This time the action was very decisive, and the two intelligence officers quietly sneaked up behind the guards, took out their daggers and swiped them hard, and the two guards fell like cartilage.

Intelligence officers have probed, and there are basically no guards inside the temple, except for these two people.

The temple spends most of its guards on the outside standing guard and patrolling, which is why everyone dares to kill the two guards outright.

Barty Crouch gave one look, and one by one everyone entered the building.

The interior of the building is one idol after another, and the statues have long been covered with dust because no one has been in for a long time.

"They checked separately and immediately gathered when they found the situation." Barty Crouch commanded.

The crowd began to inspect the building, tapping left and right at the statue, trying not to miss a single detail.

Knock knock!

An intelligence officer noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly whispered: "Director! It's empty! ”

In an instant, the busy crowd gathered and looked at the place where the person who spoke was pointing.

Knock knock!

Barty Crouch's eyes lit up, and he immediately commanded: "Pry it open!" ”

First, I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year's Eve!
