Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 283 Reasons and Clues

The snatched pipe was obviously of great significance to the Goshuit Indians, so after Liang En and the others made the decision to help find it, Mrs. Nell immediately communicated with them on specific issues.

"Do you have any clues about the holy land of your tribe?" After sitting down in a coffee shop not far from the hospital, Liang En immediately asked his own question.

"The legends in our family only say that there is a secret about the Holy Land on the pipe, but no one knows the specific secret." Mrs. Nell shook her head helplessly.

"But it wasn't just our Otter tribe that discovered the sacred site, but three other tribes that were also Goshuit Indians, so it's possible that other tribes recorded more and let the word out."

"In other words, the other three tribes may also leave clues similar to this pipe, right?" After hearing what the Indian wizard said, Liang En suddenly felt that things were more troublesome than he imagined.

"It probably didn't leak the news from the Bear Claw and Tomahawk tribes. There were no wizards in these two tribes back then, so at most they knew a large range, but they didn't know the details."

After listening to Liang En's words, Mrs. Nell thought for a while, and then explained to him what happened back then.As a wizard of the tribe, Mrs. Nell has always remembered the oral legends in the tribe.

"Because everyone was just expelled here by the Americans from the Great Lakes at that time, and the loss of personnel was heavy. Not all tribes will have their own wizards."

"So among the four tribes that acted together, only two tribes of our Spear tribe had wizards, and naturally only two of our tribes left the specific location of the holy land."

"But at that time, several wizards chose to hide those secrets after the exchange, because the holy place needed a lot of manpower and materials to establish it if it wanted to become a real holy place, but we were just exiled in this wasteland at that time. Not that kind of power."

"So the wizards at that time thought about hiding this holy place temporarily, and when everyone has established a firm foothold in this place, they will use that holy place to rebuild our faith center."

"It's just something we didn't expect. Even though we have been driven from the fertile Great Lakes to this desolate desert, the group of Americans still don't want to let us go."

"Less than a year after we found a place to live here, those damn villains attacked us again, and in that attack, the Spear tribe was completely dispersed, and we lost Almost all elders and wizards."

"Because of the loss of these historical recorders and inheritors, we have lost many precious memories and items including pipes, and these lost items include the location of this new holy place."

"So I think if those robbers really knew something, they should have obtained the relic of the Spear Tribe and deciphered the secret on that relic."

"But if that's the case, why did the other party rob this pipe?" Liang En asked a little puzzled. "If the other party really got some information from the Spear Tribe, there is absolutely no need to get another copy."

"I think it's very likely that the mastermind behind the scenes only got half of the documents." As soon as Liang En finished speaking, Pierce said from the side. "After all, Europeans at that time considered themselves superior and despised all other non-European civilizations."

"So after that attack, there was a high probability that these things with secret records were taken away as ordinary trophies by someone and thrown somewhere in their home, so there is a high probability that they have been incomplete by now."

As an antique dealer, Pierce still has some understanding of this aspect, especially the virtues of those white Europeans.

To give the simplest example, it is easy to see some traces of pure waste on the items he usually receives from non-European civilizations.

For example, the upper half of the head was sawed off, and a few broken wooden strips were nailed on to serve as a hanger, and another example was the top Chinese porcelain that used a hole in the bottom of the bottle to serve as a lamp post.

By analogy, there is a high probability that the items with recorded information owned by the spear tribe have suffered some kind of damage due to improper storage or random modification, but the robbers also knew the existence of the pipe from the remaining content.

That's why the other party is now taking this approach to obtain the pipe, in order to find the sacred place that was discovered by the Native Americans and then hidden.

"But what do you say the other party is looking for this kind of holy place?" Joan of Arc looked even more confused after listening to the explanation, "Especially if they find this kind of holy place that hasn't been built yet, they won't be able to move it away."

"But what if the other party doesn't know this?" Liang En turned his head and explained. "This secret is only circulated among a very small number of Indian wizards, so it is very likely that there are only holy places recorded on those things, without the details of the holy places."

"If that makes sense." Joan nodded approvingly. The gangsters probably thought it was a full version of the Holy Land filled with various sacrifices and ritual items, and planned to loot the place for a while. Fan.

After figuring out the opponent's purpose, Liang En and the others began to guess where this so-called holy place was, so they studied the photos and rubbings left by the pipe.

This pipe is made of clay. When in use, the tobacco is put into the groove of the pipe, and the smoke is sucked through a small hole at the end with a diameter of up to 3mm.

The base of the entire pipe is the size of a piece of chocolate sandwich biscuit. A small otter stands upright, as if it just emerged from the water, with its paws resting on the river bank and looking around curiously.

When smoking, people will look at this little otter and touch their noses. In addition, the hallucinogenic effect of yellow flower cigarettes smoked by Native Americans will make this otter have life in people's eyes, so as to achieve psychic effect.

On the flat surface under the base of the pipe, some patterns were carved with sharp blades. Judging from those triangles and lines, these patterns should look like a map.

If the real things were in hand, Liang En felt that he should be able to figure out what these things were through the cards.It's a pity that there are only photos now, so it is too difficult to figure out where this map is drawn.

"We can only confirm that the destination is in a valley, and that valley is most likely washed out by rivers in the past." After repeatedly checking the rubbings and photos, Liang En said helplessly.

"If you rely on these information alone, you will definitely not be able to find the location of this holy place, because there are too many places in this area that can meet this point, unless you have more detailed information."

"For more detailed information, can you give me an example?" Mrs. Nell asked. As a wizard, she did know a lot of information about the tribe, but she didn't know what kind of information Liang En wanted.

"All the information that mentions this holy place is fine." Liang En said after thinking for a while, "Even if it only includes the word holy place or I don't know whether it is related or not, I want it."

"If that's the case, I do have some information here." Mrs. Nell nodded, "It's all the ballads circulating in some tribes."
