Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 509 Unexpected Attack
"What do you think we can dig out this time?" Professor Harry asked when returning to the hotel with the excavated pottery plates. "Is it possible to dig up something of value."

"It should be possible." Liang En, who understood the words on the pottery fragments, nodded and said, "But if there is no accident, these things on the pottery fragments are the real valuable things, but the linear character a was not able to be deciphered. "

"No way, there are too few cultural relics in this area." Harry would naturally pay attention to these things, so Liang En showed a helpless expression when he said that.

"It takes enough samples to decipher ancient texts, but there are too few samples now. If there are more samples, you may be able to understand the secret inside."

Professor Harry still had a lot of trust in Liang En's ability to decipher ancient characters, because he had deciphered multiple characters in a short period of time, and it seemed that he had enough talent in this area.

You must know that the deciphering of ancient texts, especially those dead texts, is not a simple matter. Apart from hard work, the most important thing is to have enough talent in this area.

Perhaps because there are many scenes in the movie where archaeologists pick up ancient documents and start reading directly, many people think that archaeologists can read ancient documents completely.

But in fact, this is impossible. Phylographers and archaeologists are not the same thing. At least in most cases in this world, it is a normal state for archaeologists not to know the contents of the excavated texts.

"Actually, I have already started to decipher the Linear A, but the content that can be deciphered is so small that only a small number of words can be translated."

Liang En briefly talked about the progress he decided to disclose now, and then marked the content that can be reasonably disclosed on the photo of the pottery plate.

It is a pity that these things add up to less than 1/10 of all the words, so the translated content is so scattered that it is impossible to see what the original content of this thing is.

However, judging from these scattered words, everyone basically judged that this thing should be related to metal smelting, and metal smelting is related to gods.

However, because some key words could not be translated, Professor Harry and his students could only deduce what was written in it based on the folk customs of various countries.

As folklorists, these people are still very good at inferring in this area. At least some students have deduced that this kind of metal needs to be sacrificed to gods, and thus deduced that this kind of metal is difficult to make.

"What you said makes sense, because making metal was considered a very sacred thing in ancient times, especially in such an ancient age." Liang En nodded.

Because he thought of some legends in ancient China, for example, the casting of some magical weapons always requires the sacrifice of animals or even human lives, which can actually be regarded as a kind of sacrifice.

After all, compared with those older stone tools, the performance of metals has obviously made subversive progress, so it is normal for those ancient people to regard it as the power bestowed by the gods. manner.

"Yes, this is indeed a global phenomenon. Even today, blacksmiths in some parts of Southeast Asia need to perform some ancient prayer rituals before making weapons. I believe this—"

Harry nodded, but his words were interrupted by the sudden sudden braking of the car. Fortunately, everyone was wearing seat belts at this time, so they were not injured.

"What happened?" Liang En asked. The driver was a professional old driver, so such sudden braking was obviously abnormal.

Joan of Arc and Fan Meng on the side reacted even more strongly. Both of them reached out to their arms and were touched with pistol grips, because for them, the sudden stop of the vehicle obviously represented some kind of accident.

"The police made a temporary inspection." The driver said, and at the same time, Liang En also saw a police car and two policemen blocking the road through the front glass of the car window. It was indeed like a temporary inspection.

This is actually a very common thing on the island. After all, this is the top tourist area in the Mediterranean, so it is natural to pay more attention to security.

"It's a pity that things have been troublesome these days, so the police officers we accompanied can only stay at the excavation site to avoid the loss of cultural relics. Otherwise, it is enough to say a few words about this kind of temporary inspection, and there is no need to waste time." When Professor Harry got out of the car muttered to.

"No way, this is a routine after all." Liang En said with a shrug. "After all, we are now on the territory of Greece, so we should abide by the local laws."

Soon, the two policemen got into the car to search, but just as the two policemen finished checking the exterior of the car and entered the car, Fan Meng approached Liang En and whispered.

"These two people are not like Greek policemen, at least not like the Greek policemen we saw before. At least those Greek policemen we saw before didn't look like them."

"You mean, these two policemen are fake?" Liang En became vigilant all of a sudden. Considering the fact that someone followed them before, any suspicious point may be a precursor to an attack.

"Not sure, but the actions of those two people using the stator to observe the bottom of the car just now are not like the common actions of the police, but like soldiers." Fan Meng is also not sure about this aspect. "We may need more clues."

After speaking, he approached the police car to observe, but he walked over after a few seconds, while holding his pistol tightly and getting ready for the next step
"The two police officers above are fake, at least their police cars are fake." "What—" Liang En immediately looked at the two police officers who were currently searching in the minibus, and at the same time used Fan Meng as a cover for himself. Pistol loaded and ready for battle.

"What should we do next?" Liang En asked Fan Meng when she watched Jeanne whisper the news to the others and signaled them to get ready.

After all, it is very likely that armed conflict will break out in the future, so it is also necessary to ask professionals if you want to do things beautifully in this case.

"Let's wait at the door, and do it directly when the other party gets off the car!" Although the chassis of the car is relatively high, we can't see what's going on inside the car when we stand under the car, but we can see what's going on inside the car after preparation. It's difficult.

After walking to a certain angle, he quickly saw through the back of the vehicle and boat that the two so-called policemen had opened their box of clay plates and were about to put something in it.

At this time, they were able to confirm that the two policemen inside were fake, but the other party didn't know that Liang En and the others already knew that they were fake, so they could naturally do something by taking advantage of this information gap.

Soon, the two policemen closed the safe and got out of the car. At the same time, they adjusted their facial expressions, looking like real policemen had finished their work.
