Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 777 The lingering ghost
"Why does this thing look familiar?" Seeing that Liang En was holding the small plate motionless, Joan of Arc came up to him curiously and asked. "I always feel like I've seen the pattern on it somewhere."

This silver plate is a small plate with a thick bottom. In the past, it was mainly used as a pad under those relatively hot containers, so the bottom is relatively thick to prevent hot hands.

At the same time, the content of the reliefs on the top is very ordinary. It is a field of flowers and plants under the sun, which belongs to the traditional pattern on European gold and silverware. Almost three of the ten gold and silverware found have such reliefs on them.

But to Liang En and the others, the sun at the bottom of the bowl was too familiar.Although this may be a somewhat abstract sun relief to normal people, to Liang En and the others, this relief is obviously the black sun of the Thule Society.

"It should be said that good luck often goes away as soon as you touch it. But bad luck often follows you everywhere." Liang En said with a helpless smile, "I didn't expect the Thule Society to be so cloudy."

That's right, the logo on this thing is the logo of the Thule Association, and it is the most representative black sun logo with evil spirits.

However, according to the records left in the Golden Dawn, they seldom carry their logos on their bodies. This is completely opposite to the members of the Golden Dawn who like to carry their logos with them.

After all, except for a very small amount of time, most of the time they are rejected by the mainstream society like street rats, so they will try to hide themselves as much as possible.

But from another point of view, this means that members of the Thule Association who can have this black sun symbol often have a very important position.

"It seems that something should be hidden here." After taking a look at the plate, Liang En quickly judged that if the thing really existed, it should be hidden in the thick base of the silver plate.

After all, this plate is only that big, and other than this place is a thin layer, it is basically impossible to hide anything.

"There's something inside." Jeanne whispered after opening the base along the weld seam with a knife.At the same time, a silver medal fell into Liang En's hands.

Judging from the weight, this should be a silver-plated medal, but after turning the medal over, he saw that the main body of the front medal was a sword that pierced the skull upright, and the hilt was decorated with sun-shaped ornaments.
As for the big snake underneath, it is not an ordinary snake.Five of the heads and snake body of the snake-shaped monster Hydra in ancient Greek mythology are coiled around the sword body. The whole medal gives people a feeling full of weirdness and evil spirit.

"The silver anti-guerrilla warfare medal is actually this kind of thing." Liang En recognized this unusually famous or notorious medal in history at the first glance after seeing the appearance of the medal.

The Commemorative Medal for Anti-Guerrilla Operations was established by the German Head of State on January 1944, 1, and is awarded to all personnel who have participated in anti-guerrilla operations for a long time.There are three levels of medals: bronze, silver, and gold.

These medals are different from common medals like the Iron Cross. The overall number of meals is quite rare. There are a total of copper: 1650 person-times; silver: 510 person-times; gold: 47 person-times.

At the same time, due to the late establishment and manufacturing time, most of them are made of zinc alloy as a whole, copper-plated, silver-plated or gold-plated according to the grade, and different styles of buckle combinations, hook styles, and even shapes are used according to the technical characteristics of different manufacturers.

It can also be seen from this point that in 1944, the Germans were already in decline, so that such fatal problems could occur in medals that were not only difficult to manufacture but very important.

According to the established standards, this silver medal represents the person who was awarded that year as an infantryman.It can only be obtained by participating in 50 combat days against guerrillas in total; or by performing 75 support combat flights in total by the Air Force.

"It seems that we have found a war criminal." Liang En subconsciously shook his head after seeing the type of badge.

"Why do you say that?" Joan asked curiously, because they had found many German medals from World War II before, but Liang En had never commented in this way.

"Because the Germans were very cruel in the anti-guerrilla warfare. Not only did they keep almost no prisoners, but they also killed civilians in a large-scale and organized manner." Liang En pursed his lips and said.

"Thus, those who can obtain such medals are basically war criminals with bloody debts in their hands. Back then, the Allied forces in the entire Eastern European region basically shot people who were found wearing such medals."

"Ah, I think these allied forces did the right thing." Joan of Arc was a little excited after hearing Liang En's explanation, "These damned murderers really deserve to go to hell, and the sooner the better."

The reason why Joan was so excited is also very simple. After all, one of the most important reasons why she left her hometown was because the invading British soldiers at that time carried out the so-called anti-guerrilla warfare, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

So after hearing what Liang En said about the group of German devils, she immediately had a feeling of empathy, so she naturally became excited.

"You're right, the invaders must die." Liang En smiled, and then focused on the disassembled silver plate.After all, it is very strange that a World War II war criminal living in East Germany is still a member of the Thule Association.

Because under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a person to have so many layers of unusual things, so the current situation of the other party has indeed aroused Liang En's curiosity.

So he immediately conducted a comprehensive inspection of all the cultural relics he obtained this time, and along with his inspection, Liang En also found some words carved on the inner wall of another silver lighter.

"I think it's a bit weird." Seeing Liang En tracing out the words there, Joan of Arc didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement at this moment, but frowned instead.

"Because in my impression, under normal circumstances, secrets should not be so easy to find. Even if the inside of the lighter is indeed hidden, it is still a lot worse to hide things."

Although many movies and novels will describe finding treasures along the treasure map, in reality this is basically impossible, at least there are very few treasure maps in history.

Because if you want to hide treasures, you must keep secrets, but you can't keep secrets if you draw a picture.So if you encounter problems normally, you will definitely destroy those clues instead of leaving them for future generations to find.

"You are right. Finding some clues here does not conform to the theory, but the current situation is not normal." Liang En shrugged while holding the lighter.

"Have you ever seen a few German war criminals from World War II living in East Germany, and they were the ones who had been hiding for a lifetime and never been found?"

Out of curiosity, Liang En also asked Mr. Frey about the specific situation of the treasure hunting location, and the news he got was that this room had been occupied by an old man who lived alone until the old man passed away three years ago. abandoned.

The building at that time was in serious condition because it took too long to build, so no new people lived in it until it was demolished. At the same time, according to the inspection results on the spot, these things were buried in the mezzanine for more than half of the time. century.
