Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 420 Treasure
After arriving at the suspicious place according to the signs on the map, Liang En found that the stone wall in front of him was not much different from the surrounding ones, but after taking a closer look, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the stone wall.

"What did you find?" Looking at Liang En, who was almost lying on the stone wall, Joan asked curiously. "I don't think there's anything wrong here."

"That's because the lights in this place are too dark, so you may not be able to see some details clearly." Liang En turned his head and said to Joan with a smile, "Turn on the headlight on your helmet and shine it on my side of the stone wall."

Because this place is relatively close to the depths of the wine cellar, there are no wooden barrels for aging wine, so the lights here are a little dim, and things are naturally a bit blurry.

After hearing Liang En's order, Joan immediately turned on the strong headlight to shine on the stone wall, but was surprised to see that the stone wall in front of Liang En seemed a little gray.

After closer observation, Joan of Arc found that the material of this stone wall is somewhat different from those of the stone walls seen before, and the difference can be clearly seen under the strong light.

"What's going on here?" Joan of Arc looked at the obviously different materials and asked in confusion, "Are there any other veins in this quarry?"

"No, this is not another mineral vein, but cement." Liang En carefully observed the cement stone walls that looked similar to the surrounding stone walls at first glance, and at the same time pressed his hands on the cement surface and used [Rock Control (SR) 】.

In an instant, Liang En saw that the stone wall in front of him was not a stone wall at all, but a bifurcation hole sealed by a brick wall and cement outside.

With the continuous injection of legend points, Liang En's consciousness gradually extended inward, and finally figured out what this hidden space looked like.

This is indeed one of the abandoned roadways left by the quarry back then. After all, the quarry only looks for the stones they need, so once they find that the quality of the stones does not meet their requirements, they will dig in a different direction, so many of them are left behind. laneway.

However, this alleyway is not too long, only less than 10m. At the same time, Liang En can vaguely feel that there seems to be something in this alleyway, which seems to be the objects that those people wanted to hide back then.

After confirming that there were indeed items hidden here, Liang En and Joan returned to the ground to get two sledgehammers and put on gas masks, then returned here and smashed up the wall.

"80, 80——" Liang En whispered subconsciously in Chinese while smashing the wall, but the hammer had just hit it five or six times, and the wall that was just for covering was smashed open.

There was an obvious rotten smell coming out of the cave. Seeing this, Liang En and Joan immediately put on gas masks, and then continued to clean up the remaining part of the brick wall.

Through the part of the brick wall that has been opened, Liang En saw that there were about fifteen or six wooden boxes wrapped with straw and reinforced with iron bars. The overall condition was very well preserved.

The size of the box is not large, and it looks like a cube with a side length of about 1m. When they cleaned up the broken bricks at the entrance and entered the tunnel, they immediately saw a French sentence written on the wall in red paint:
"Nous vaincrons parce que nous sommes les plus forts." Liang En subconsciously read out this sentence, which translates to: We are the strongest, and the strong will win!
"Is there any meaning behind this sentence?" Of course Joan recognized the meaning of this sentence, but she didn't quite understand why such a sentence was written in this place.

"This is the most famous slogan of Free France in World War II. Together with the most famous on ne passe pas (they can't pass!) in World War I, it has become the most important memory left in the two wars."

As a military enthusiast, Liang En thought of the meaning behind this sentence so quickly. If he combined the crosses of Lorraine he had seen before, he could basically judge that these things should be hidden by the French underground organization during World War II.

After stepping forward to move the boxes vigorously with his gloved hands, Liang En found that these boxes were not light, and the slight bumping sound inside when they were being moved sounded like some kind of metal products.

Carefully opening a box, Liang En found that there were five boxes of different sizes inside the box, separated by straw in the middle. He opened a small box, and inside was a golden incense burner wrapped in silk.

After taking out the censer, Liang En found that it should be the kind of censer with a chain used in religious ceremonies in Christianity. It is very heavy in the hand, and it is obviously made of gold.

The entire surface of the incense burner is not inlaid with any gemstones or decorated with enamel, but it is covered with exquisite reliefs of religious themes, and even the gold chain is made of twisted metalwork, showing low-key luxury.

From the perspective of craftsmanship, this should be a gold censer from the 16th or 17th centuries, and it almost certainly came from an important Catholic church. After all, it would be nice for an ordinary church to have a copper-plated silver censer.

After the second box was opened, there were also small boxes inside, but those small boxes were smaller and more delicate. Besides wooden boxes, there were also leather boxes and iron boxes.

After choosing one of the black suitcases with brass edging and opening it, he found a cross inlaid with gemstones and pearls of various colors inside.

The situation in the third, fourth, and fifth boxes is similar, they are all big boxes with small boxes inside, and the small boxes are filled with all kinds of jewelry that obviously come from the church.

However, the situation changed when the sixth box was opened. The inside was not the straw used for shock absorption, but a whole piece of very thick red velvet. From the tight package, it can be seen that the person who packed it was very careful about the moisture in the box. Items are very thoughtful.

After opening the piece of velvet with Joan of Arc, a house appeared in front of them.

The main body of this miniature flame Gothic chapel is made of gold.There are extremely exquisite franc color patterns on the four sides, interspersed with high reliefs of various figures, detailed metalwork inlays, inlays of various gemstones, hollow carvings and welding.
The whole thing was about 80 centimeters long, 60 centimeters wide, and 70 centimeters high. The first time she saw this thing, Joan recognized the origin of the box.

"This is the reliquary in Orleans Cathedral." Looking at the beautifully bound box, Joan looked a little excited, "I saw this box before, but at that time the box had just been made for two or three years. as old as it is now."

Speaking of this, Joan reached out to the side of the reliquary and pressed it lightly. With a click, the roof of this miniature chapel, which looked like a chapel, was partially unlocked and bounced off.

Then the two moved the roof to the side, and took out a gold box the size of a football, studded with precious stones.

"Yes, this is it." Joan of Arc looked at the jeweled human skull in the locket through a piece of transparent crystal inlaid on each side of the box and said, "This should be the remains of the saint enshrined in the Orleans Church. One of the few holy relics."

"I didn't expect there to be such a treasure under the winery." Liang En said while restoring the reliquary to its original shape, "Okay, let me check the other boxes to see what these things are. What."
