After a while, Xiao Ran and the others had passed through the town and arrived at a manor on the other side of the town, next to the Fontainebleau Forest.

This manor covers an area of ​​about sixty or seventy acres, with lush greenery and beautiful scenery.

In the center of the manor, there is a mottled Gothic castle, several Renaissance-style buildings, and a French-style garden full of flowers.

Arriving at the gate of the manor, the leader of the second exploration team immediately stepped forward and introduced the situation in a low voice.

"Sean, this manor was a summer palace of the French Bourbon dynasty after the restoration, but its history as a summer palace was very short."

"Before the summer palace, this manor belonged to the Napoleon family. After Napoleon III came to power, he took the manor back."

"A few years later, Napoleon III donated the manor to the government, and in the 1970s, it began to be open to the public."

"The Gothic castle in the manor was built around the 13th century, and the other Renaissance-style buildings were built in the early 17th century."

"Although this place is open to the public, these buildings and land are owned by the French government and are a historical and cultural site."

"The metal objects we found were buried on the west side of the old castle, more than five meters underground. There are a lot of them, but we don't know what they are."

"Due to the special nature of the estate, which has so many eyes on it, we are unable to explore further or use ground-penetrating radar."

While this guy was introducing the situation, Xiao Ran looked at the manor with great interest.

And secretly activate the clairvoyance ability to explore the secrets of this manor.

He did make some discoveries in the old castle and several other buildings in the center of the manor.

As for the situation deep underground, due to the angle, he was not in a hurry to explore through perspective.

After the leader of the second exploration team finished introducing the situation, he smiled and nodded.

"You have done a good job. This is the French government's land. It is already very good that you can make these discoveries."

"Let's go into this manor and have a look. I hope the metal objects you find are a treasure and a surprise."

"In that case, we may try to cooperate with the French government and launch a joint exploration operation, although this is unlikely."

After chatting for a few more words, the group of them walked towards the manor.

Entry to this historical and cultural site requires a ticket, which costs ten euros per person.

After a while, everyone had bought their tickets and entered the manor.

Seeing their actions, the people who had heard the news and came to watch the excitement, as well as many media reporters, immediately started talking.

"This guy Sean actually brought people to the Napoleon family manor. In all likelihood, they came for the legendary Napoleon treasure. Could it be that the Napoleon treasure is buried in this manor?"

"This was once the manor of the Napoleon family, and was later taken back by Napoleon III. It is entirely possible that Napoleon's treasures were buried here."

While there was a lot of discussion, many people walked quickly towards the entrance of the manor, ready to follow to watch the excitement.

In urban Paris, Carlin and Francois have received the news.

"What? That guy Sean went to the Napoleon family estate on the edge of the Fontainebleau Forest?"

"Could it be that Napoleon's treasure is buried in that manor, and what is it that is buried deep beneath the ground of the Reno Hotel?"

As soon as he received the news, Carlin raised a series of questions.

The next moment, Francois standing next to him continued:

"The guy following Sean reported that Sean's goal was very clear. After leaving the hotel, he went straight to Napoleon Manor."

"An exploration team under him has been exploring that area for the past few days and apparently found something, so that guy Sean rushed there."

"Obviously, he is prepared to carry out further exploration to see if anything is discovered, and then decide on the next step."

Karin and the others all nodded, thinking that was about it.

After thinking for a moment, Carlin said:

"Manor Napoleon is a historical and cultural site belonging to the French government. No matter where they find anything, they can't even think about excavating it."

"I will report this matter to the Ministry of Culture immediately and organize an exploration team to rush to Napoleon Manor to explore as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Karin even felt a sense of revenge, and a smile appeared on his face.

The depression accumulated during this period was somewhat released at this time.

At Napoleon's estate.

Like ordinary tourists, Xiao Ran and the others first visited this historical and cultural site and were not in a hurry to explore further.

In this historical and cultural site, most of the things on display are related to the Napoleon family.

For example, Napoleon's family genealogy, various furniture once used, etc.

The smallest building among them is the Bourbon Dynasty Exhibition Hall, which displays some things related to the Bourbon Dynasty.

All these historical buildings, inside and out, basically maintain their appearance in the 19th century.

Unfortunately, some of the original valuable antique artworks have been replaced with high-quality replicas.

That is, some exquisite furniture and some interior decorations are antique relics from the 19th century, but their value is not much higher.

During the visit, Xiao Ran looked through all these historical buildings.

During this period, he made many discoveries, such as hidden compartments and walls.

Some of the secret spaces contain objects, even valuable paintings or small sculptures.

In addition, Xiao Ran also discovered two very secret passages deep underground in two of the palaces.

The two secret passages were built quite solidly and to a very high standard. There were rest rooms and storage rooms in the secret passages.

Inferred from these features, they should be two secret escape routes.

The two secret passages lead to the nearby Fontainebleau Forest.

However, both secret passages were empty, with only a few bronze candlesticks, and the end of the secret passage was sealed.

As for the situation on the other end, it is currently unknown.

Xiao Ran could only take a look at these unknown secrets and was unable to carry out further exploration, let alone keep these discoveries as his own.

This historical and cultural site belongs to the French government, and by extension, these unknown secrets also belong to the French government.

It took Xiao Ran and the others more than an hour to visit several Renaissance-style buildings, and then they came to the oldest Gothic castle.

This Gothic castle was built around the 13th century. It is completely made of granite stones and strips of stone. It is extremely strong and is a war fortress.

The castle is small in size, covering an area of ​​less than one acre, and the highest tower is only about 18 meters high.

However, this castle stands on the main road leading to the outside world from the Fontainebleau Forest.

In the cold weapon era, this castle undoubtedly had a certain strategic significance.

Even after the emergence of guns, the defensive capabilities of this castle cannot be ignored, and it can be used as a watchtower.

Because of this, this castle was taken seriously and included in this manor.

Due to its age, the outer walls of this castle have become mottled, and there are some damages to the towers, walls, crenellations, etc.

Fortunately, the overall structure is very strong and has not collapsed. It can still be used normally.

The French used this castle to display various weapons and artillery from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.

Especially the standard weapons used by Napoleon's army are all available here, just like a small museum.

While Xiao Ran was looking at the castle, the leader of the second exploration team came forward and whispered to him:

"Sean, five meters away from the second window on the west side of the castle is where the metal objects are buried."

Following his words, Xiao Ran immediately looked over there and started to see through it immediately.

The next moment, his sight penetrated directly through the lawn on the ground, then penetrated through the thick soil and foundation, and quickly penetrated deep into the ground.

Then, a strange picture suddenly appeared in his eyes.
