Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 340 Clues in the church
"It shouldn't be someone scribbling." Liang En nodded slightly after inspecting the carving, and then said to Jeanne beside him.

The reason for making such a judgment is also very simple. This place is regarded as the most sacred place in the entire church, so normal people would not carve randomly in this place.

What's more, these words were disguised as patterns and appeared under the altar of the church before. If it weren't for Liang En's expertise in this area, it would be easy for ordinary people to miss this information.

After all, the shape of rune letters is completely different from the Latin letters or Cyrillic letters commonly used in Europe today, so if they form a circle like this, most people will really think that this thing is a simple pattern, not some kind of text.

Liang En was able to identify it because not only did he obtain a series of cards related to the ancient Vikings, but most of the excavations were also related to the ancient Vikings.

Therefore, he can be regarded as a professional in terms of knowledge about the ancient Vikings, so it is more than enough to simply recognize these texts.

In addition to recognizing the characters, they also confirmed that these things and the platform were not built at the same time, because it is obvious from the carving techniques and weathering that these characters should have been carved hundreds of years after the platform was built. .

"In other words, the text here may indeed be what the group of Freemasons saw at that time, or it may simply be what they left behind." Hearing what Liang En said, Joan of Arc immediately reacted.

"That's right!" Liang En nodded and said, it's very easy to infer such a judgment, because it's obvious from the other party's concealed carving methods to convey certain information secretly.

It's just that in the face of this circle of chaotic text, it is not an easy task to figure out the secrets inside. Fortunately, Liang En has a [Ciphertext Deciphering (R)] card, which can be forcibly decrypted in an emergency .

But before that, Liang En felt that there must be some rules in this bunch of disguised border patterns, and the rules are probably not too complicated, otherwise it would be too complicated for the target they want to leave a message up.

Soon Liang En replaced these runes with Latin letters, and then seriously studied the characters converted into Latin letters.

After careful observation, Liang En found that although the text inside looked similar, there were still differences.For example, after careful observation, he found that a letter was decorated with some patterns.

"That is to say, these words should start reading from this place?" Looking at this distinctive letter, which is the letter n in the Latin alphabet.Liang En was lost in thought.

But the weird thing is, no matter whether he reads clockwise or counterclockwise, what he reads is a bunch of garbled characters, no matter what kind of characters he masters, he still can't find the correct one. way of reading aloud.

However, according to Liang En's judgment, this kind of decryption should not be too difficult. Considering the education level of the ancients and the risks represented by this secret transmission, it is impossible for the other party to adopt complicated methods to hide the secret.

"What is the most important number for you believers?" After sitting on the pew outside the church and looking at the photos and thinking for a while, Liang En suddenly remembered a story from the past, so he turned his head and asked Joan of Arc.

"It should be the number seven." As soon as Liang En finished speaking, Joan of Arc blurted out. "Because God created the world in six days and rested on the last day. That adds up to exactly seven days."

"Understood—" Liang En nodded, and then started with the letter N, trying to pick out every six letters.

Sure enough, when reading counterclockwise, there are still a lot of messy things, but when reading clockwise, those letters spell out a meaningful line of words: Non Nobis, Domine, Sed Nomini Tuo Da Gloriam.
"What is written here?" Joan asked curiously, pointing to the line of text. Although she mastered French writing after coming to this world, and at the same time taught herself some English, she still couldn't recognize what was written. .

"This sentence is in Latin." Liang En quickly went through the languages ​​he mastered in his mind and recognized what was written, so he said to Joan of Arc.

"The above means give us glory, God, give us glory, not for us, God, but for your name."

"It sounds like a prayer, but it's different from ordinary prayers." After listening to it, Joan quickly made a judgment, "At least I didn't hear anyone say it that way."

"Of course you won't hear someone say a prayer like this, because this prayer belongs to the Knights Templar that has disappeared." Liang En said with a smile.

To be honest, this thing is very unfamiliar to most people. If Liang Enlai hadn't inquired about the information about the Knights Templar before, he would definitely not have cleared these things.

"The Knights Templar! In other words, this thing is for contacting the remnants of the Knights Templar." As a former soldier, Joan of Arc knew something about intelligence, so she quickly figured out what these words were about. What is the use.

"However, these texts should only indicate that this is a contact point. The real secret should be hidden nearby. Have you discovered anything about this?"

"Yes, this discovery not only proves that this place is indeed related to the Knights Templar, but also means that those secrets are probably hidden in the runes in this church." Liang En nodded and stood up, then walked again into the church.

Inside they found nothing of value, but when they came out they found a line on the outer wall of the church and spelled out a Latin word by skipping every sixth letter: stone field.

"It seems that we have to go back." Pointing to the word Liang En said to Joan of Arc, "This tells us that the thing is likely to be hidden in the quarry, and judging from the surrounding conditions, the quarry The field should refer to the one we came to before."

"If that's the case, the next work is indeed a bit troublesome, because the area of ​​the quarry is really too large, so it is not an easy task to find our target." Joan of Arc shook her head.

They came here directly while traveling before, so they didn't bring a lot of things that should be brought. Fortunately, for Liang En and the others, some special equipment bought from Stockholm before should be able to play a certain role.

So after supplementing some of the supplies in this town, Liang En and the others quickly returned to the previous quarry ruins, and then started the search.

Fortunately, this quarry remains left many human traces, so Liang En and the others quickly discovered many mine holes with those slender steel picks as they searched.

Considering that this is an open-pit quarry, theoretically there should be no mines, so the caves on the stone walls look suspicious from any angle.
