Ilsa glanced at it not long ago, and said, "That's right, it's the original!"

Ronan rolled it up and stuffed it into the badge space, grabbed Ilsa, and said, "Keep your balance and don't vomit."

Ilsa simply hugged Ronan: "Go!"

Ronan launches teleportation!

Ilsa's eyes turned black, the world was spinning, and she was extremely uncomfortable.

But this feeling lasted less than a second, and the eyes saw the normal scene!

Next to the marble statue of Lincoln!

This is the Lincoln Memorial.

Ronan said, "Take a breath."

Ilsa hugged Ronan tightly: "I'm fine!"

Ronan launched the second teleportation and returned to the Presidential Suite of the Hilton Hotel.

When Ilsa could see clearly, she immediately let go of Ronan, and sat down on the sofa, panting heavily.

"No problem?" Ronan took out the "Declaration of Independence".

Ilsa calmed her breath slightly: "It's okay."

Ronan glanced at the text on the front of the "Declaration of Independence", there was nothing special about it.

Ilsa took it and flipped through the back. There was only one line of text on the back of the parchment—the "Declaration of Independence" signed on July 1776, 7.

Nothing else.

"In that era, even if text or images were hidden, the technology would not be too advanced." Ilsa put on the special sunglasses and didn't find it. She was not in a hurry, took out a bottle of acid and handed it to Ronan: "Use this."

Ronan took two paper towels, poured the acid on them, and wiped the back of the parchment.

Ilsa asked, "Is there a lighter?"

Ronan has a lot of things necessary for survival in the wild here, with a windproof lighter and roasted parchment.

The parchment was blackened by the flames and began to warp.

Ilsa saw the text and said, "Go on."

Ronan continued to bake, and many places where the "Declaration of Independence" was written on the front of the parchment began to turn black and deformed.

These two terrorists don't care at all.

Anyway, it's not my own stuff.

"Okay, I've finished reading it!" Ilsa took off her sunglasses and said directly: "New York, Trinity Cathedral, the treasure map is in Alexander Hamilton's tombstone."

Ronan buckled the lighter, turned it over and threw the wrinkled and deformed "Declaration of Independence" on the coffee table, and asked, "The name Alexander Hamilton is familiar, what do you do?"

Then, I remembered that in the list of signers and drafters of the Declaration of Independence, Alexander Hamilton's name was all there.

"It turned out to be one of the founding fathers of the United States." Ronan figured it out immediately: "Is this the information left by his descendants? With the ability of the Hamilton family, it is not difficult to do something behind the Declaration of Independence."

Ilsa knew more, and roughly said: "Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, the founder of the American political party system, and one of the known Freemasons. He died in a duel with his political enemy Aaron Burr. , and was buried in Trinity Cathedral in his hometown of New York after his death."

Ronan was curious: "The founding father died in a duel?"

"It seemed like they were running for president or the governor of New York State. Burr lost to Hamilton and then invited Hamilton to a duel." Ilsa said: "The two shot, Hamilton missed, Burr shot Hamilton, He died immediately, probably like this, I don’t remember clearly.”

I can remember this because I checked the information temporarily during the treasure hunt recently.

If you were an ordinary person, you might think that this is a game of pranking people one after another, but Ronan has dealt with the Knights Templar, so there is a high possibility that the treasure exists.

In addition, krypton gold is one of the goals of the next stage.

Ronan said, "Looks like we're going to New York."

The door knocked rhythmically at this time, Ronan heard Aunt Helen's breathing, and went to open the door.

Aunt Helen changed into the clothes of the daily nostalgic series. After entering, she looked at Ronan and Ilsa in surprise: "You guys are so fast."

Ronan said casually, "I just came back."

Helen picked up the cup on the coffee table, took a big sip of water, and read the "Declaration of Independence".

She widened her eyes, staring at the traces of destruction on it: "Is this the original?"

Ilsa said: "Originally."

Helen seemed to be exaggerating, but in fact she said with a bit of carelessness: "God! You have destroyed the most important founding documents of Americans!"

This thing is useless now, Ronan said: "You can take it for collection if you like."

Helen handed it to Ilsa: "Ma'am, you should keep it, you may use it later."

Ilsa rolled it up and tied it up, and put it in the badge.

Not far outside, a police siren sounded faintly. Ronan heard it clearly and rushed to the National Archives.

"The police car seems to have been found." Helen said standing in front of the window.

Ronan said: "It's only a matter of time before we find out." He glanced at his watch: "Tomorrow morning, we will drive to New York."

Ilsa replied: "Yes."

…………

National Archives, Vault.

The person in charge, Dr. Abicar, got off the elevator and rushed into the door of the innermost vault anxiously. The safe for the Declaration of Independence was empty!

The Declaration of Independence is gone!

The doctor of history and literature sank and almost fell!

Holding on to the wall and pressing on his shaking chest, Dr. Abigail wanted to enter the vault, but was stopped by the guards.

"Doctor, don't destroy the scene." The guard reminded.

Abigail nodded. The key now is to find the suspect and recover the Declaration of Independence.

What is stored here is the original!The most precious document in the United States!

Not long after, the police and the FBI all rushed over, but there were not many useful traces left at the scene, and even the surveillance did not capture images of the suspect.

On the other hand, on the side of the underground vault, there was a smooth round hole in the thick concrete wall that could allow adults to pass through.

I don't know what it was made of, but it doesn't look like a machine.

Because what was stolen was the National Archives, and the lost item was the "Declaration of Independence", which is an extremely precious document for the United States. The FBI agents who led the team were very high-level and had a better understanding of the situation on the extraordinary side.

Immediately ordered his subordinates: "Notify the Special Affairs Bureau that this case is related to them!"

The United States had just experienced a severe terrorist attack, and Washington was at its most vigilant. Within 10 minutes of making the call, Secret Service agents arrived at the archives.

After checking the hole in the wall, the people from the Special Affairs Bureau did not shirk their responsibility and took the initiative to take over the case.

The theft of the "Declaration of Independence" also involved the extraordinary, the case was reported immediately, and soon came to Flynn's desk.

Flynn didn't get complacent, and immediately went to General Hawke to make a report.

General Hawke read the preliminary investigation report and asked, "What do you think?"

The Secret Service was about to be frightened by the terrorist. Flynn was very careful and vigilant: "I'm worried that the Destroyer will come to Washington again."

General Hawke was also worried, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Is there an explosion at the scene?"

"No."

"Are there traces of throwing weapons?"

"No."

Having said that, Flynn was slightly relieved.

General Hawke said: "Check along the line of the archives, don't be careless."

Flynn responded, ready to leave.

General Hawke stopped him again: "If it's Ronan the Destroyer, don't rush to do it, we need to concentrate our superior strength and kill him in one fell swoop!"

The Secret Service has awakened the successor of the holy axe and is said to be looking for Franklin's students. These are powerful combat forces.

On the Special Affairs Bureau side, in addition to the two high-ranking mages in New York, the Comet Company also has a hole card.

Washington is less than [-] kilometers away from New York, and there are highways connecting it. Even if you drive slowly, you can get there in half a day.

Entering New York, before arriving in Manhattan, while Helen was refueling the car, Ronan went into a convenience store and bought a tourist map and introduction to attractions in Lower Manhattan.

Trinity Cathedral in New York is in Lower Manhattan.

Located at the junction of Wall Street and Broadway, the church was first built by the Anglican Church and is currently one of the largest land owners in New York.

"The church is always so rich." Ronan sat on the back seat and looked at the tour introduction, feeling quite emotional.

Ilsa is looking at the map: "You are short of money? I remember you have a lot of income."

Ronan said truthfully: "The expenses are huge! There will be astronomical expenses in the future."

Aunt Helen, who was driving the car, interjected, "The method you used cost too much money."

Think about it in Baquba, Iraq, the Armor S purchased for 2000 million US dollars was finished after one use, and the Syndicate couldn't hold it for a few more times.

Ronan said calmly: "No way, we are facing the United States."

The car came to the edge of the Hudson River, crossed the river through the Lincoln Tunnel, and got off in Manhattan. The traffic jam was serious.

Ilsa looked at the bustling metropolis and said, "If the treasure is buried in the core of the city, how to get it away is a problem."

Ronan had considered this a long time ago: "I have two pieces of magic storage equipment here, which together can hold more than a dozen cubic meters. You have one over there. I'll find someone to borrow one later."

Jess has one in her hand, which she bought on the extraordinary black market.

Ronan's storage device was almost full of things. After the large-scale consumption of heavy weapons and explosives in Yellowstone Park, more than ten tons of enchanted obsidian with a density comparable to gold were put in.

Obsidian and some other materials can be placed with Jess temporarily, and Jess also has a mage badge in her hand.

Ronan thought for a while, and then said: "There is an extraordinary market here in New York. I once bought a mage's badge there. I will ask someone to inquire about it. If the time is right, we can go and have a look."

Ilsa nodded slightly: "If you really want to find it, try not to leave it to the Americans."

Ronan was very curious: "Where would the founding fathers of the United States hide their treasures?"

Ilsa concluded: "Not outside the United States."

To be precise, it must be in the eastern part of the United States, maybe somewhere in New York, Philadelphia, Boston or Washington, so it is difficult for the treasure to flow out of the United States.

Follow Broadway to the intersection of Wall Street, and you can see the towering Gothic spire of Trinity Church a long distance away.

Trinity Church is now a tourist attraction, and tickets are sold to the public. If you want to climb the spire to see the style of New York, you need to pay a lot of money.

Ronan and Ilsa pretend to be an ordinary couple and buy tickets to enter Trinity Church.

Like ordinary tourists, they went up to the steeple tower with great interest, stood on the tower and looked down, and the large open space to the north was full of tombstones.

There was no one around, and Ilsa whispered, "This is the necropolis of Trinity Church."

She gestured to the brownish-yellow pyramid-shaped stone tomb near the iron fence with her eyes, and said, "That's the Hamilton Curtain."

Ronan had seen it on the tour map introduction and recognized it.

"Hamilton once said that private property is sacrosanct," Ilsa said.

Ronan said lightly: "Do you believe it?"

Before officially joining the Knights of the Round Table and MI6, Ilsa firmly believed in this. This is the most basic principle of the civilized world.

but now?Those who believe this are more than naive.

Ilsa reminds Ronan: "Be careful with Swiss banks."

Ronan nodded slightly: "I only deposited part of the cash in the Swiss bank account." He also gradually got used to solving problems in certain ways: "If the Swiss really want to freeze my account, I can only say sorry."

Switzerland is a neutral country?Neutral countries do not prevent explosions.

The male and female terrorists, in the "sacred place" of the church, discussed the issue of financial security in a serious manner.

Ronan activated his mind's eye, switched to the perspective of the raven in the sky, and observed the surrounding situation.

The two then went downstairs, mixed with the tourists who went down together, and entered the cemetery north of the church.
