Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 506 Clay Tablets
"The current situation is more complicated than we imagined." After hearing Fan Meng's words and showing the video materials, Liang En said with a serious face. "It seems that the other party should indeed be related to those illegal salvagers before."

If it is said that there may be various misunderstandings when following the car, then the action of investigating what Liang En and the others are doing in addition to following the car is too obvious.

"Then what is the other party doing now?" Fan Meng frowned at this moment, "What I am concerned about is whether their main goal is to attack us, or to obtain something."

"I personally prefer to plan to get something." Liang En tapped his index finger on the table and said at the same time.

"After all, this is not a particularly chaotic era, and Greece is not a chaotic country. More importantly, we have not formed a deep hatred with others. Therefore, it is unlikely that the other party's target is an attack."

"I am more inclined that the other party is looking for something around the island, because we are digging some ruins now, so the other party thinks that we have found what they are looking for."

"Your statement is very reasonable, but sometimes reality is not like a novel, and there is no need for any rationality at all." Fan Meng spread his hands, and said helplessly, "So unless you ask them directly, otherwise there is no reason at all." Know what the other person thinks."

"However, the situation you analyzed should be the closest to the real situation, so I think the next work should be based on what the other party wants to take as the main direction of defense."

Just when Liang En and Fan Meng were discussing the group of people who were following several parties recently, the former stalker also came to the house more than 200 meters away from the hotel where Liang En and the others were staying, and talked with Speer who was hiding here. merged together.

"How's the situation?" After seeing the two people coming in at the door, Speer quickly stood up and asked excitedly. "Do you know what that group of people are looking for now?"

"The other party seems to be digging the remains of an ancient building." The older person among the people who came in said, "But we are really far away, so I don't know exactly what the other party is digging."

"However, we can basically confirm that those people did dig up some valuable things, because they hired more than 20 workers to dig together besides their own people." Another young man said.

"The labor costs on this island are not cheap. Being able to hire so many workers at one time can only show that they have indeed found something very valuable this time."

"Damn, doesn't this mean that our three years of hard work are completely in vain?" Speer slammed the table vigorously after hearing the two people's answers, and then showed an angry look.

"That's not the case." One of the two elders who came in just now shook his head and said, "We still have the possibility of remediation, but this remediation may be accompanied by certain high-risk behaviors."

"That's right, some of the people hired by the other party are now our internal agents. If the other party finds something of value, we will know it soon, and then we will find a way to get it." Another young man also clicked nodded and said.

"That's good, but I still want to take a more secretive approach." After hearing what the two said, Speer nodded in satisfaction, and then urged.

"I believe that your overall level as knights is not too bad, but you still need to pay attention to the fact that these people are an international archaeological team. If there is really too much movement, it may attract unnecessary attention."

"No problem sir, we will take note of these situations," assured the elder of the two so-called knights, "We have done similar things many times, and this time the opponents are just a few scholars and Just local police, don't worry! "

"Of course I trust you, after all, you are knights." Speer said with a smile, but he was also a little worried about the other party's overconfident appearance.

But no matter how worried he is, he can only pin his hopes on these two people. After all, the situation is such that there is no other way to save the current situation except trusting them. All Speer can do now is pray silently.

Liang En and the others didn't know that the danger was approaching, and they still carried out the excavation work step by step, especially after the smelting furnace was discovered, the metal smelting workshop more than 3500 years ago gradually revealed its overall appearance.

This smelting workshop is leaning on a hill, and underneath is a whole piece of very solid rock. It seems that it should be a carefully selected location, with an area of ​​about two to three hundred square meters.

In addition to the remains of many smelting furnaces, there are also a large number of equipment used for metal processing, but after inspection, they found that there are not many tools left here.

"Could it be that those tools have been corroded over a long period of time?" Looking at the workbench that looked a little too clean, Joan asked after thinking for a while.

"It's unlikely. So many metals full of impurities can be preserved here, so there's no reason the tools can't be preserved." Liang En shook his head and said. "You can see that the preservation conditions of the two places are similar. Even if this side is corroded, it will not be completely rotten."

Liang En pointed to a pile of scrap metal that had just been dug up and said, these things were mixed with a lot of impurities visible to the naked eye, which should be waste products produced after smelting.

Although this pile of things can be regarded as very good raw materials from today's point of view, in ancient times, these things can only be discarded and cannot be reused at all.

According to the traces at the scene, these things were placed in a pit surrounded by a circle of stones. It seems that they need to be cleaned up manually after each filling, but those people did not clean up the waste pit before they left. .

It was scrap metal that was fished out of the waste pit, along with a huge pile of burnt charcoal, which is an absolute treasure for anyone who studies the metallurgy of that era.

It's a pity that this ash pit can't figure out what happened here other than to prove that the tools cannot be completely rotted?So if you want to know the truth, you must continue to dig.

Fortunately, as everyone's excavation work progressed, they guessed what happened that year and restored part of the truth from the cracks in the building itself in the entire ruins and the fact that no corpse remains were found.

If this is combined with the situation of the Minoan Palace, it is basically certain that there were many earthquakes in this area before the volcanic eruption that year, and it is also known that earthquakes are prone to trigger tsunamis.

So after feeling the earthquake, the people in this seaside city probably fled away, and those precious things at that time were naturally taken away with them.

However, this does not mean that all the things left behind are worthless. When digging on the 11th day, they found a stack of clay tablets for recording from the side of a house in the metal processing workshop, which was full of words. .

But everyone present didn't notice that when they carefully took out these clay tablets full of characters, a worker who walked by to watch the excitement had a strange light in his eyes.
