Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 675 The Key
When the time entered April, Liang En and the others went straight to a small town in Cochrane, Ontario, Canada, where the crucial "Bible" was found before.

"I feel that the temperature here is much warmer than expected." Looking at the lush scenery outside the car window, Jeanne glanced at the thermometer inside the car and said, "It's actually 9 degrees Celsius above zero."

"This is normal. In fact, even in the north of the Arctic Circle, the summer is above zero, and the ice and snow will melt. Compared with our summer, the average temperature is only a little lower, but the winter in this kind of place is often cold. kill."

Liang En flipped through the documents in his hand and said to Joan who was driving, since she got her driver's license, Joan suddenly became interested in driving, and would find a way to touch the steering wheel whenever she had the chance, and this time was no exception.

After making all the preparations, Liang En asked Fan Meng to go to Ottawa alone to meet up with the temporarily transferred White Knights to organize equipment and be on standby at any time, while he and Joan flew to this town by plane to investigate clues.

He came to this town this time to find clues about the "Bible", because he hoped to find out how the book came here.

Because according to the information they searched before, the team should have disappeared in the Yukon Territory in northwestern Canada, but their current location is in eastern Canada.

It is doubtful that a book has traveled thousands of kilometers from the westernmost part of Canada, so Liang En came to the place where the book was found immediately after starting the operation to find out how the book came about.

This is a very small town, and most of the people in the town are Canadian aborigines, but compared with the aborigines I met when I searched the sunken ship last time, the overall condition of the aborigines here is much better.

The reason for this is mainly because the area has nothing but a few agriculture and plantations, no gold, no oil, no valuable minerals of any kind.

Although this makes these aborigines in this area have no chance to make a lot of money, it also avoids being the target of Canada's plunder, so they are much happier than the group of aborigines in the Arctic.

"Sorry, none of us remember where this book came from." Seeing Liang En show the book in his hand, the aboriginal librarian who looked to be in his 40s shook his head helplessly. "

As I said before when I sold this book to you, the records only say that this book was donated in 1959 among a large number of books donated by the church. "

According to the librarian, their small library here was donated by the Toronto church, and this "Bible" was just one of a large pile of books donated at that time.

"Can I read these books?" Liang En asked after listening to the administrator's introduction.

"Of course, please."

In the next hour or so, Liang En flipped through the same batch of books donated here as the "Bible", because the remaining books of the time were less than 1/10 of the original, and most of them had severe damage.

After checking all these books, Liang En found that the content of these books can be said to be varied, ranging from popular novels, poetry anthologies to reference books, which are very in line with the requirements for charitable donations.

Through the inspection of these books, especially the notes inside the books, Liang En basically determined that these books came from the surrounding area of ​​Toronto, and through the seal on them, he determined which church these books were collected by.

"Okay, thank you for your help." After hearing what the other party said, Liang En nodded slightly to express his thanks, then put two hundred dollars into the donation box at the entrance of the library, and left here.

"Looking at your expression, there shouldn't be much gain in this place." When Liang En opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, Joan of Arc glanced at his expression and said.

"As we guessed before we came here, there is indeed nothing to gain in this place." Liang En said after buckling his seat belt. "The real clue should go to the church to find it."

After returning the borrowed car to the rental company, they took another plane to Toronto. Because of the large area and sparsely populated infrastructure in this area, taking a small commuter airliner has become the most common way to travel in this area.

After leaving the airport, Liang En and the others went straight to the Cathedral of St. Michael's Temple, because Liang En found out that the donation was organized by this church during the previous inspection.

According to the information Liang En found before, this donation was also part of the assimilation plan for the indigenous people at that time, so there are very detailed records on the source of books and so on.

It is not a simple matter to inquire about church materials and archives, because these things are not public content, theoretically, outsiders are not allowed to inquire.

However, because Liang En and the others had returned the holy relics in France before, after communicating with the church in France, they successfully entered the church's archives under the guarantee of several French clergy.

"Look for the donations made by the church between June and August 1959." After entering the archives, Liang En quickly greeted Joan and began to search for information.

All the materials in the archives were arranged in chronological order, so they quickly found the file bag they were looking for from the shelf and took out the yellowed files inside to check.

"I found it, here!" Seven or eight minutes later, Joan tiptoed to take out a document from the shelf, looked at it, and then whispered to Liang En who was not far away.

"The donation to the Indian Territory on July 1959, 7, including 17 Canadian dollars and 1000 books. Unfortunately, there is no list of books, but it is mentioned that these books have been reviewed and determined to be ethical."

"It must be ethical. After all, this is a donation activity organized by the church. You can't publish a bunch of messy books." Liang En said, took the document and began to read it carefully word by word.

Soon, he discovered that the most important piece of information was marked at the end of this file: some of these books came from donations from believers, and the other part came from the storage of the church itself.

"The "Bible" is all from the church's storage." At this time, Joan of Arc leaned over and looked at a line of text in the document and said, "That is to say, the "Bible" with notes on it came from the church's original storage? "

"Yes, that means that the book entered this church between 1923 and 1959." Liang En frowned as he looked at the file in front of him. "This period of time is too long, and it is too difficult to find clues for this part."

"But it's not hopeless." Jeanne comforted, "At least for these churches, if there is a "Bible", it will be habitually recorded."

"Wait, I seem to have thought of something." Liang En walked out of the archives at this time, and then took out his previous "Bible" and quickly flipped through it. Sure enough, he found the words Saint John XXIII on the back.

"Sure enough, the other party left this book to leave some information." Liang En said with a sigh. "I have found the key to this mystery, or at least part of it."
