Chapter 129 The Templars' Treasure

After the family dinner, Tang Wen rejected Enzio's request to stay overnight. Mainly because it’s my first time here and I’m a little embarrassed to do that in other people’s homes.

"Next Saturday is Scarlett's birthday. Mr. Tang must give him a compliment, otherwise Scarlett will be sad." Jenny snickered.

"Okay, I will be there on time." Tang Wen looked at Sijia who was blushing and said with a smile.

Sofia's expression on the side was obviously a little bad, because she was obviously introducing someone to herself. Why is this stupid girl Scarlett blushing?

"Is she trying to steal something from me again?" Reminiscent of the fear of being robbed of toys by her younger sister when she was a child, Sophia's face turned as ugly as pig liver.

Sebastian on the side looked at Tang Wen quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After paying attention to her younger sister's eyes, Sofia felt troubled: "What's that look in Sebastian's eyes? She's only 15 years old and she's trying to steal a man from me?" (Note: In the United States, 14 years old is considered an adult, and you can get a certificate at 16 years old. )

After sending Tang Wen away, Sophia educated her two younger sisters with an unkind look on her face: "This is my man, don't have any other ideas."

"Tch, I'm not sure whose it is." Sijia said disdainfully, and then went back to the room alone.

"But I like him too." Sebastian narrowed his eyes and said confidently, and left the restaurant without looking back.

"Mommy, look at them." Sofia was almost driven crazy by her two sisters.

"Sophia, they are your sisters and your helpers." Jenny said meaningfully.

Enzio was giggling on the side, as if he had already seen the day when he would make the headlines of the newspaper.

"They all came to compete with me for men." Sophia left the living room angrily.

After Tang Wen left Enzio's home, he returned to the Mediterranean Manor.

It's a pity that the little witch is not here today, otherwise I would have been able to torment her again. After drinking a lot of wine, Tang Wen fell into a drowsy sleep after a while.

At noon the next day, Tang Wen yawned and stretched.

The waiting servant took the initiative to hand over the toiletries. After cleaning up, Tang Wen went to his indoor swimming pool to sober up.

"Didi Didi" Tang Wen had just swam a few times, and while he was letting his servants wipe away the water stains on the shore, the phone beside him rang.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Tang Wen looked over and saw that the caller was Zhou Xu.

"Boss, there is an interesting person here from Guhan. He wants to exchange information for us to help her escape from Alama."

"Escaped from Alama? Female?" Tang Wen said in surprise.

"Yes, boss, she is a princess of the Alama royal family." Zhou Xu said helplessly.

"Have you ever told me what the news is?" Tang Wen took the towel and covered himself with it and asked.

"She refused to say it. She had to invite us to help her escape from Alama before she would say anything. However, she gave us a medieval ring and said it was a deposit." Zhou Xu explained slowly.

"Ring? What ring?"

"I don't know about this either. Gu Han has already sent someone to deliver it. I have arranged for Jesse to deliver it to you."

"Jesse?" Tang Wen asked.

"Yes, boss, Jesse is from the Adams family and has a certain understanding of medieval books." Zhou Xu explained.

"Okay, let him come to see me." After hanging up the phone, Tang Wen felt even more strange. Why would a royal princess of Alama want to use a ring to hire a bloody saber to escape from the country?

Can a ring be of such great value?

You must know that Alamana is a typical patriarchal country. Ordinary women only have a slightly lower social status, but the royal family is different.

Women of the royal family must wear black when they go to public places after they come of age. The most severe thing is that you cannot let anyone except your husband see your legs and waist.

Otherwise, they will be executed. Yes, female members of the royal family must be executed as long as their legs and waists are seen by other men, because the royal family of Alama believes that women's waists and legs belong to their husbands.

After being seen by outsiders, this woman is an ominous thing.

Tang Wen was also stunned for a moment when he heard this weird regulation.

After a while, Jesse came over with a box. After Tang Wen took the box and opened it, he found that it was a ring made of bones. He couldn't tell what kind of bones it was, but it was densely engraved with many tadpole-like words.

"Do you know what this is?" Tang Wen handed the ring to Jesse.

After Jesse took it carefully, he looked up and down carefully and frowned more deeply.

After a long time, Jesse carefully returned the bone ring to Tang Wen, then called the servants and asked them to bring over a piece of white paper and a lemon.

"Boss, if I'm not mistaken, this is the code word for the Templars." Jesse took the lemon and said.

The reason Jesse knew this kind of tadpole writing was thanks to David Hughes, a thief he met on the street. It is said that his ancestors were Templars who escaped from France.

Because of the spying on the Templars' wealth, the nobles began to attack the Templars one after another. The foresighted knight leader transferred all the looted treasures through the Hospital Knights early in the morning.

By the time the nobles arrived, the Templars' inner treasury was empty. So the forced confession of the Templars began, but no one except the leader knew where the treasures had gone.

Some Templars who were lucky enough to escape also fled to the surrounding small countries and began to live anonymously.

David Hughes' ancestor was one of the people who was responsible for protecting the transfer of the Knights Hospitaller. In order for the Knights Templar to make a comeback in the future, the Knights Templar left a treasure map to their leader.

And the location of the treasure map was written in the secret language of the Knights Templar on a specially treated bone ring. This is the one in Tang Wen's hand.

"The secret code of the Knights Templar?" After hearing what Jesse said, Tang Wen was speechless.

"Yes, boss, in the later period, the Knights Templar would write in the form of ciphertext to prevent the secrets from being stolen. In order to distinguish all the secret codes with ciphertext, the first sentence is this."

"The light of the Kingdom of God."

"The light of the Kingdom of God?" Tang Wen's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

"Is this a movie? The Knights Templar are out."

Jesse carefully squeezed the lemon to get the juice and dripped it on the ring. Then he carefully picked up the ring and rolled it on the paper, then took the magnifying glass and began to copy the words in the ring.

"According to God's will, Western believers must go to the church to worship every Friday. When the first ray of sunlight shines on the three rows of statues, the believers will face the Lord's blessing under the Lord's call." After the bone ring rolled on the paper, Jesse wrote out all the words on it.

"What the hell is this?" Tang Wen was speechless.

"Boss, this is a scrambled secret code, and the order of the secret code is in the bone ring." Jesse explained.

After listening to Jesse's words, Tang Wen immediately understood.

This is equivalent to a scrambled text, which needs the numbers in the ring to rearrange.

"10 teaching, 19 hall, 23rd, 30th, 31st row, 40th, 45th side, connected together is the third row of the church below." Jesse said excitedly.

"That's it? It doesn't say where it is from?" Tang Wen was puzzled.

Jesse quickly explained to Tang Wen: "The secret code beginning with 1 in the Templars represents the Templars' church, the code beginning with 4 represents the library of the Hospitallers, the code beginning with 7 represents the Holy Land, and the code beginning with 9 represents the Temple Mount of the Teutonic Knights."

"That means the treasure map is under the third row of the Temple Church? But how come there are so many seats in the third row?" Tang Wen asked.

Jesse looked at the bone ring in his hand and suddenly realized: "The glory of the Lord, there should be this mark under the seat."

Tang Wen agreed very much after hearing this. If it was just a secret letter, there was no need to put it on such a small bone ring. It seems that this bone ring still has other uses.

So Tang Wen asked Jesse to leave and rush to the Templar Church in London without stopping.

Jesse, who came to London on a special plane, came to the Templar Church with the six bodyguards assigned to him by Tang Wen. After paying 5,000 francs, Jesse and his group entered the church alone.

"One, two, three, the Lord's will should be the person closest to the Lord, so it should be the front row." Jesse speculated.

Then Jesse carefully took out the bone ring and squatted on the ground, checking the seats in the third row one by one. Although it is a long time, the later generations have protected this church very well.

Almost all wooden benches are not worm-eaten.

Jesse checked the seats one by one, and when he saw the sixth seat, he suddenly found a small cross on the floor.

Jesse called a bodyguard and asked them to dig it open. Inside was a copper box. After opening it, there was another box soaked in tung oil.

After taking out the small box inside.

Jesse was surprised to find that the small box soaked in tung oil actually had a keyhole like the bone ring.

Jesse didn't dare to stay here any longer. After asking the bodyguard to put the stone in place, he took two boxes and hurried to the airport with a group of bodyguards.

Tang Wen looked at the bone ring in his hand and the keyhole on the box, frowned and put the bone ring in.

After hearing a "click", a crack appeared in the tightly closed box. After Tang Wen opened the box with curiosity, he found a leather product inside, which was surprisingly dry.

Jesse said that this was fished out of a box full of tung oil, but it was still dry.

A closer look revealed that the box did not contain any leather products, but parchment used for writing in the Middle Ages.

When he took it out, it looked like a map. However, a box was drawn in the top corner, and it was still glowing around, which was undoubtedly the hiding place of the treasure.

Seeing the boundary above, Tang Wen almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

"How could it be Switzerland?" Tang Wen was surprised after looking at the mark on the map.

Jesse shook his head and said, "Boss, I think it is very likely, because most of the knights at that time fled abroad, and Switzerland is next to France, so it is not ruled out that the Knights Templar fled to Switzerland."

"OK, then I'll go and have a look after a while." It's not easy to know the location. Tang Wen naturally likes free things.

As for the princess of Alama, Tang Wen also arranged for Gu Han to help her "go abroad."
