Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 331 Mysterious File
When Liang En and Jeanne returned to the hotel, they realized that they were the first ones to come back. Pierce and Fan Meng were still working on the night market, while the contestants of the Irish team were hanging out in the bar and never came back.

"You came back much earlier than I thought." After opening the door for Liang En and the others, the owner, Grandma Susan, said as she led them to the room. "Young people seldom come back so early like you."

There is no way, Jeanna has a game tomorrow, we must come back early to rest, so that we can maintain our best condition when we compete tomorrow. "Liang En said to the old lady owner with a smile.

However, after going upstairs and entering the room, Liang En did not rest. Instead, he took out the wallet, took out the SD card inside and installed it on the card reader, and then inserted it into the open laptop to read it.

"Do you still need to enter the password?" Looking at the dialog box that popped up, Liang En thought for a while and took out the small note that he also found in the hidden compartment before, and then entered the 15 garbled codes mixed with numbers and Greek letters into the box. in the dialog box.

Apparently, the previous owner of this wallet put the password and other things together to save trouble, but now it happened to be cheaper for Liang En, allowing him to open the encrypted file without bothering.

There are more than 300 photos in the encrypted file, including black-and-white photos and color photos, most of which are remakes of some documents, and the remaining small part are some sculptures.

When faced with so much information, Liang En was immediately attracted by those documents, because the text often contained the most information.

After simple sorting, Liang En was surprised to find that these text messages all pointed to one thing - the holy object hidden by the Knights Templar.

"In other words, the guy who sold the so-called bones of Joan of Arc, or the organization behind these guys is probably trying to find the treasure of the Templars." Looking at these documents, Liang En fell into thought.

The issue of the treasures of the Knights Templar is almost an urban legend in the Western world, and countless novels, movies, and games have these things in them.

But people's guesses and legends are one thing, and the facts are another. At that time, Philip IV obtained a large amount of wealth from the headquarters of the Templars in Paris, but the so-called treasure was really not found.

Considering that the French repeatedly tortured members of the Knights Templar and gained a lot of wealth after disbanding the Knights Templar, Liang En always thought that the so-called treasure of the Knights was just a illusory legend.

But now he has a new idea. What makes him change his mind is that some of these documents seem to be remakes of older documents. From those photos, it can be seen that the documents are written on parchment, and they have an ancient history at first glance. .

What's more, several of these documents bear an ancient seal, representing one of the world's most mysterious archives, the seal of the Vatican Secret Archives.

According to the records, the bookshelf of the Vatican Secret Archives is 84km long, and the catalog for reference alone has 35000 volumes, recording various records since the establishment of the Holy See for thousands of years.It can be said to be one of the most important archives in the world.

Although theoretically all the documents in it can be read, only the documents within 75 years cannot be made public because they involve various state secrets, but in reality it is difficult to find what you want from so many things .

It was only in 1881 that Pope Leo XIII allowed researchers to view archives, but the complicated viewing process made access to such archives a very complicated matter.

First of all, journalists, students, and amateur historians are of course not allowed to enter. Only professional historians can obtain a permit, and the permit can only be applied for six months at a time.

After obtaining permission, scholars who come to the Vatican need to enter the St. Anna Gate, pass through the guards of the Swiss Guard, walk through the courtyard of the Belvedere Palace, and then present their certificates to enter.

Once allowed to enter, scholars will submit the documents they want to the person in charge, and if they want to know which document they want, they must choose the specific document name from the Italian or Latin handwritten catalog and inform the staff. Can.

According to regulations, each person can only obtain three documents per day, and they can only be viewed in the archives. Although they can be brought into the computer, photography is not allowed.

Therefore, if the photos in Liang En's hands were real, it would definitely cause an uproar if they were made public, because it completely violated the regulations of the Vatican's Secret Archives.

And those who can take such a big risk to take these documents from the secret file management must have a big picture, otherwise they would not take the risk of offending the Holy See to bring out this information.

Thanks to the Internet age, Liang En quickly connected to the Internet with another computer, and compared it with the directory index on the Vatican's official website.

However, the results of the comparison quickly shocked Liang En, because apart from most of the documents that could be found, there were a few documents that could not be found at all.

There are only two possibilities in this situation. One possibility is that the content on the documents is forged, and the other possibility is that these documents are truly secret documents, so they have not been made public at all.

Liang En personally prefers the latter possibility, because he really can't think of the meaning of adding some fakes to this part of the other party.

So in the next two days, besides cheering and cheering at the competition that Joan of Arc participated in, Liang En also tried to find time to study the materials that were dumped on the mobile phone after entering the competition. Ya gave Fan Meng and Pierce the platform to attract guests.

It's a pity that watching such an efficiency in a noisy arena is not high, so Liang En spent most of his time watching the game, except for a small amount of time to get what he wanted.

It has to be said that triple physical fitness plus professional skills are completely cheating in this kind of competition, so Joan can basically end the battle within 3 minutes.

Therefore, on the day when the competition ended, Joan of Arc successfully won the championships of the three competitions she participated in, and became a rising star in the full-fledged combat sports.

Also because of this victory, after the last day of the game, everyone decided to go to the bar in the town to celebrate and celebrate the breakthrough progress of the Irish team in the game.

However, to some surprise, when everyone went to the town bar that they were optimistic about before, they unexpectedly found that the door of the small bar famous for its self-brewed dark beer and draft beer was closed tightly, and there were drinkers in twos and threes talking at the door. wearing something.

After realizing that something was wrong, John, as the captain, quickly squeezed into the crowd and asked about today's affairs. He shook his head and squeezed out of the crowd until seven or eight minutes later.

"What happened?" Everyone asked around John. After all, it is human nature to gossip, so everyone really wanted to know what happened here, and the tavern was temporarily closed.

"The nephew of the boss here had an accident. He was found dead in the river beside the town in ragged clothes more than an hour ago." John said with a mysterious face. "So the boss went to the police station to inquire about the situation."

"According to these people, the deceased was just a guy who abused drugs. The police station found through the examination of the body that there were a lot of illegal drugs in it, so there is a high probability that he ran around after taking drugs and then fell into the water. drowned."
