Chapter 336 Analysis
Liang En had reservations about the librarian's statement, because he didn't know whether the librarian had really told the truth, or was hoping to induce those who searched for the treasure to look in the wrong direction.
However, on the second day after checking these documents, after reading a large number of personal information of the subjects he suspected, he found that at least the fact that no treasure was found should be true.
Because from the analysis of these personal data, these people appear to be very regular in terms of finances, and all large income and expenses have clear sources, and there is no such thing as suddenly becoming rich.
If they really have some kind of treasure, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not use it for so many years, and as long as they use it, these records will not be as problematic as they are now.
In order to prevent these documents from being tampered with, Liang En specially checked three documents and used the [Authentication (N)] card to confirm the authenticity, and the feedback from the card told him that these were true and had not been tampered with. Pass.
Considering that most of the people here are just ordinary people on the surface, Liang En doesn't think that someone who suddenly becomes rich can hide it from others.
After realizing this, he changed his search target and began to focus on the private letters and diaries of the early Freemasons, especially those who were likely to be descendants of the Templars.
However, it is not easy to find valuable things from a large pile of thick documents. Fortunately, the historical value of these things is not in the carrier, but in the content, so Liang En happened to be able to pass the card. Cards to help you filter.
As before, Liang En used the [Detection (N)] card once to search for the valuable records in the pile of records, and finally found a file bag, which contained a letter, a list of items and a travel log.
The content of the letter was written by an early Freemason to his wife, saying that he was going to the north to build a stone church for the King of Sweden to replace the original wooden church.
As for the list of items, it is sandwiched in a pile of travel records. From the records, it can be seen that it is the things that will be used when going to Northern Europe to build a church and the transportation tools rented there.
In the end, Liang En found a piece of sticky note when he carefully looked through the travel records. On it was some content to report that he was safe, but from the sentence, it could be seen that these people seemed to have found something important when they were in Northern Europe.
Considering that the scope of this screening is the materials left by the Freemasons in the early days, it is very likely that the most historically valuable things found by the card now come from the notes left by the Knights Templar or heirs.
But the documents that Liang En found now obviously have a lot of strange things. For example, in the case of inconvenient transportation in ancient times, few people would choose to hire workers or designers from abroad.Another example is that there are some abnormalities in the item list.
"What do you see from this?" Liang En handed the list of items to Joan of Arc. After all, what he is doing now is treasure hunting, so he is also consciously cultivating Joan of Arc's ability in this area.
"These people are sufficiently devout in their beliefs." Joan of Arc easily found some suspicious points from these documents that Liang En had thought about several times before. "He actually kept his fast while traveling, and it was strictly enforced."
According to the tradition of Catholicism, believers must observe fasts, and fasts can be divided into big and small.Both fasting and fasting require fasting of meat, but the meat mentioned here does not include fish, shrimp and some aquatic mammals.
Even at that time, some Europeans considered things like beaver to be fish, so that stewed beaver tail became a famous delicacy throughout medieval Europe.
According to regulations, on the day of Lent, only one regular meal can be eaten a day, supplemented by snacks to satisfy hunger.On a small fast day, you can eat according to the usual meal times, but you cannot eat meat.Good Friday and the day before Christmas are Lent, and every Friday is Lent.
In addition to Lent and Lent, the 40 days before Easter is called Lent every year, and fasting is also required, and all kinds of meat are prohibited.
That is to say, if a believer is devout enough, then he will fast for 1/3 of the year, especially for the clergy who can only eat water and bread, not even fish.
It's just that very few people could fast like this even in the Middle Ages, when the religious atmosphere was the strongest, let alone in the Renaissance Era, which emphasized the recovery of human nature.
Therefore, if someone really observes the strict fasting as stated in the travel record, then apart from the possibility that the other party is a priest, it can only be said that the other party is very religious.
According to Liang En's deduction, the remnants of the Knights Templar should rely on religion as a bond, otherwise it would be difficult for them to maintain their independence in this long period of time.
To give the simplest example, Joan of Arc is considered a very pious person, but she only fasts at home and does not fast when she goes out.
Therefore, the fact that the four freemasons are dispatched collectively but all strictly observe the fast is basically a solid hammer. They are indeed the remnants of the Knights Templar. From the side, it shows that the found thing is likely to be related to the Knights Templar. .
"But if this is the case, it is basically impossible for us to find the information we are looking for." Joan of Arc frowned after spending several hours looking through the information. "Because we don't know what they found."
"I still have other ways." Liang En said, because these records have dates, so if he uses the [Appraisal (R)] card, he might be able to see some important information.
However, before using the card, Liang En had a glimmer of hope to find the administrator once, and asked if there were any items related to this matter other than the documents in the document bag.
"The team brought back a stone tablet engraved with a cross, which they said was precious early Christian materials." After reading the materials in Liang En's hands, the administrator said something beyond his expectations.
"As for the stele, it's in the museum now, in the exhibition hall below. If you want to see it, you can go there directly, but don't think about finding any treasure."
Liang En was shocked by the administrator's words, because he didn't think that someone had thought of these things before, so he quickly stepped forward to ask, and finally found out the specifics of the matter.
It turned out that after entering the 19th century, the legend of the Knights Templar's hidden treasure became known to everyone, so organizations like the Scottish Freemasonry that really accommodated the remnants of the Knights Templar naturally began to pursue these things.
After a long period of time, the descendants of the Templars had also been fully integrated into the Freemasonry, so the entire investigation was naturally carried out without any hindrance.
Through these materials, those people also found what Liang En found now, and carefully studied the stele downstairs. Unfortunately, everyone was stuck at this step and failed to find the stele. represent something.
So in the end, everyone can only assume that this group of people is a group of very pious people, who were excited when they saw the traces of early Christianity spreading to Northern Europe, and brought this thing back.
"So it's like this—" Liang En nodded after listening to the administrator's words, "It seems that the stele will be checked next, and I hope I can find some new information from that stele."
