Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 124 Decision
"To be honest, I don't know what to do now." Professor Brown also seemed a little confused. For a scholar who is no longer young like him, this matter now really makes him face a dilemma.

If he wanted to let the thieves who stole the murals go, he felt that he couldn't make it through in his heart, and he would probably be entangled in this matter for many years.

But if you go to the other party to settle accounts, let alone what changes will happen after more than 100 years, the reputation of the Freemasonry alone makes him lack enough courage to face all this.

Even excluding those obviously exaggerated legends, Freemasonry itself is a behemoth.Even if you are facing a branch of the Freemasonry, it is difficult for individuals to fight.

Fortunately, Professor Brown was not the only one involved in the excavation, so after the professor got this thing from the students, he only experienced a short period of entanglement and decided to come to Liang En to deal with this matter.

"Okay, please leave this matter to me." Liang En thought for a while, and then took the badge.In any case, the hidden secrets of Freemasonry itself were enough to attract him to explore.

Not to mention that if the other party really wants to care about this, I will definitely not be able to escape. Instead of passively accepting it, it is better to take the initiative to face this problem directly.

"By the way, I just found a hidden treasure room on the side of the table under the statue." After handing over the badge, Liang En took out the rolled up gold foil and handed it to Brown professor.

"This is the only thing I found in that treasure room. I think it is probably something left by the Christians in the ancient Roman era and hoped to pass it on to future generations."

"You said you found it under the statue?" After hearing Liang En's words, Professor Brown's face immediately revealed a look of shock.

Liang En naturally knew why the professor was so shocked, because the Mithra Church had always adhered to the tradition of secret missionary work, so all the existing materials were recorded by other people, and there were no materials from within the church.

After a brief discussion, Liang En asked Fan Meng to stay here for the time being, and then he and Professor Brown took the gold leaf and went straight to the ruins of the ancient Roman town down the mountain.

Because Professor Brown has a simple but complete laboratory with various basic equipment beside the ruins.So they can directly use the laboratory to unfold this gold leaf.

Gold has strong flexibility, and the gold leaf in Liang En's hands is not very thin.So in a few minutes they managed to unroll the gold leaf and sandwich it between two sheets of glass.

Just as they had imagined before, this piece of gold foil was engraved with row after row of Latin characters.

Whether it is Liang En, who has a golden finger, or Professor Brown, who specializes in ancient Roman culture, their Latin level is enough to write an article.So it is not too difficult to translate the above text.

But just after reading the beginning, Liang En realized that it was difficult to translate this article.Because he found out that it was actually a poem.

You must know that the most difficult thing to translate in translation work is the things related to literature, except for some specialized papers.

So he immediately took out a pen and notebook from the side and started to record.And just as he was doing this, Professor Brown also took out a pen and notebook from the other side of the table and recorded it.

After literally translating everything in the book, Liang En immediately began to reorganize the language with the help of the records in the book. Finally, 15 minutes after starting work, a hymn appeared on the paper.

This is a poem in praise of Mithra, mainly praising Mithra's ability to resurrect from the dead.Obviously, there is great terror between life and death, so it is natural for people to pray in this aspect when they pray to the gods.

Of course, there is a great possibility that this Sun Cave exists attached to this Anthony Great Wall Fortress, so the main direction of prayer needs to be to serve those soldiers.

Just after Liang En completed the translation and gained a little more legendary power, Professor Brown also completed his own translation.Then he pointed to the gold leaf and said excitedly.

"Liang, we have changed history, and this is the first document we have found that comes from the Mithraic church itself."

"The documents of the church itself?" Liang En took a look at his own documents, "But the content of this poem does not seem to be much different from the materials we had before."

"You're right. The information recorded here is indeed not much different from the information we already know." Professor Brown nodded in agreement, and then said.

"However, unlike the indirect information we obtained before, this Psalm allows us to directly peek into the internal records of ancient Mithraism for the first time, and confirm a lot of information about Mithraism from another angle .”

"That's how it is." After being told by Professor Brown, Liang En immediately understood the importance of this cultural relic.

Just like the story of Zhang Xianzhong Jiangkou Chen Yin in Huaxia, even though there are countless records, there are also countless folklore, but only after it is found can the authenticity of this historical event be confirmed.

When the two of them cleaned up the gold leaf thoroughly and registered it, Liang En's cell phone rang. It turned out that Dr. Caldwell had arrived at the parking lot of the scenic spot with his tent, so he notified them in advance.

"Then you guys will come directly to the temporary archaeological laboratory next to the ancient Roman ruins at the foot of the mountain. We just found a piece of gold leaf engraved with Mithraic hymns, and now we are processing—"

After hearing that Dr. Caldwell is about to arrive.Liang En immediately briefly talked about the new discovery just now with the fastest speed, and finally pointed out his current location for the other party.fruit
However, less than 10 minutes after hanging up the phone, the sound of a car engine sounded faintly outside the room, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, Dr. Caldwell directly pushed open the door of the room and walked in .

"This is an important discovery, which once again refreshes the archaeological history of Scotland." Dr. Caldwell said excitedly as soon as he entered the door, "I can even say that this sun hole is the sun hole dug now. One of the best."

"The best one?" Liang En asked a little puzzled. "But I remember that there are several sun holes in Rome, Italy that are larger than this area, and the Mithra statue in the British Imperial Museum seems to be larger."

"Yes, you are right. But the problem is that those things were separated before." Dr. Caldwell shrugged, "And you are a systematic, well-preserved sun hole."

Having said that, Dr. Caldwell showed a look of excitement on his face. "By the way, should you know who this land belongs to? I think the most suitable thing in this sun is to preserve it in situ and open it to the public in the future."

"To be honest, it would be much easier to deal with the land if it was owned by Her Majesty the Queen, but if it is private land—"

"You don't have to worry about this, doctor." Liang En pointed to himself, and then said. "When I was looking for an excavation permit, the other party sold me this wasteland directly."
