As soon as the entrance to the cave appears, no matter whether there is a treasure house underneath, or whether there is a Templar treasure or not, at least for now, the most critical step in the treasure hunt has been sold, and at least the audience before the live broadcast is already excited.
Everyone has a dream of treasure hunting. Unfortunately, their country is too small and their ancestors have not passed down any treasures. The only well-known treasure is the Knights Templar treasure. There are people from the private sector and the government looking for it, but nothing has been found for hundreds of years.
Things are different now. The official of the Kingdom of Faguo called in a mysterious treasure hunting expert from China, and they actually found the entrance to a cave in the stable of the Palais Vecchio.
The hot-bodied and good-looking reporter at the scene also excitedly said to the camera: "A treasure hunting expert from China, a top authoritative expert in antique appraisal, a top archaeological expert, and a dual-time professor at Tsingta University and Peking University, the top prestigious universities in China. Mr. Li Mo, the greatest collector, entrepreneur, and philanthropist in history, has opened a mysterious door for us at this moment. We believe that with the help of Mr. Li, there is a great chance to find the legendary The Treasure of the Knights Templar.”
Li Mo, who had already avoided the camera, was stunned by the series of titles she reported. She had already dodged it, but she must have gone too far.
"Uncle Junior, you are going to be very popular in Europe now, congratulations."
Chen Xiaojun smiled, feeling proud to have him by his side.
"What's there to congratulate? How can I hunt for treasures in the antique market in the future? After the things here are over, I plan to stay in Europe for a while to visit the major antique markets. The art trade here is very popular, so maybe You will find a lot of antiques. Especially oil paintings and sculptures. If you find a famous painting, it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars."
"Then it's better not to get angry."
Li Mo glanced at him: "You should focus more on the castle. I estimate that in the next few days, a natural disaster will occur in Faguo. Once a natural disaster does occur, only the treasures hidden in the castle will be available." Opportunity to ship out.”
"What about the Palace of Fontainebleau?"
"When the treasures below are revealed, we will see which Chinese antiques they exchange for, and then we will decide whether to take action."
The two stood on the periphery and talked quietly, and no one paid attention here. After all, the Templar Knights' treasures were much more attractive than Li Mo.
The iron plate cover was lifted out, and professional people cleaned the soil on the surface. Most of the remaining experts stood at the entrance, watching the stone steps extend down and disappear into the darkness.
Someone used a flashlight to shine down and could see a huge tunnel at the end, but no one dared to go down immediately. The first is that we are not sure if there are any deadly traps. The second is that we are not sure that the air below seems to contain poisonous gas that is harmful to the human body. The third is that we are not sure if there are scary creatures like poisonous insects below. A bite would be worse than death.
"Mr. Li, how about we wait for professionals to figure out the situation below?"
Yuri had no experience in this area, but he knew that just after the cave entrance opened was definitely not a good time to go down. It's okay that nothing went wrong. If something went wrong, he would definitely be the one to take the blame, because he was the person in charge of the scene.
Li Mo looked at the foreign archaeological experts, then looked at Juliet, then smiled and said: "Ms. Juliet, since they dare not enter, how about the two of us go in to explore first?"
"Mr. Li, I am happy to accompany you."
In public, in front of live broadcast cameras, even an outsider dares to enter the cave directly, not to mention an ambitious person who must seize the opportunity.
"Mr. Li, let me go down with you."
Yuli couldn't help but said bravely.
"No, just stay up there to protect everyone. If any of them have an accident, it will be more than worth the loss." Li Mo took out the flashlight from his hand, with a faint smile on his lips and walked down the stone steps to the next step.
Juliet followed closely behind. The others did not know what he was talking about because they did not wear simultaneous translation headphones, but judging from his behavior, this young man from the Eastern country entered the cave before them.
Although they also want to strive for first place and leave a name in history, their lives are more important to them.
"Mr. Li, is there any danger down here?"
When they were about to reach the bottom of the cave, Juliet still endured a trace of fear in her heart and asked. Although there was a light in his hand, the surroundings were dark. Fortunately, the air in the cave was flowing, and he did not feel the air was moist and turbid.
"Of course there is danger, but as long as I am here, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you." Li Mo stood on the last step and used a flashlight to look around for a while before saying, "This cave is very large. I don't know where it is connected to." .Ms. Juliet, let’s turn right and take a look.”
"It's a bit like the air-raid shelters we build in modern times. Was this tunnel built in ancient times to avoid war?"
"I'm not sure if it's for life-saving purposes, but what I'm sure of now is that we picked up something good. Look, there are a few golden things scattered on the ground in front of us, like gold coins."
】
The spotlight in Li Mo's hand shone on the ground three steps ahead. Sure enough, there were six gold coins reflecting the golden light.
"This thing is an ancient coin, but I'm not familiar with the history of your country, so I can't tell which era these gold coins belong to." Li Mo picked up six gold coins one by one from the ground, with different patterns on both sides. One side looks like a crown, and the other side looks like an ear of wheat.
Juliet curiously took it and took a closer look and said excitedly: "This is gold, which was a currency that was circulated during the reign of Philip II. At first, it was only circulated among the nobles, and then gradually flowed into the people. At that time, it was used as silver coins. In the era of the Lord, gold coins can be considered rare. My grandfather has two gold coins in his hand. He only lets us look at them and never touches them. They are very rare. "
"Then it's time for you to feel proud. Keep these six ancient gold coins in your own good collection."
Juliet was not moved at all. She glanced at the Eastern men around Li Mo and said with a smile: "Why don't I give each of you one as a souvenir? I heard from my grandpa that such gold coins are quite valuable if they are auctioned."
Is it valuable? One of the members of a dignified knight organization is particularly rare for such a gold coin, which shows that its value is not generally high. As for whether the tassel gold circulated by Philip II is still valuable after the treasure was released, it is temporarily uncertain.
"Everyone, don't be stunned. Thank you, Ms. Juliet." Li Mo stepped on Chen Xiaojun with his foot. The latter quickly thanked him. Naturally, the others would not refuse such a good thing and thanked him one after another. This was considered a benefit given to them by the boss.
"If you don't have money to spend, you can collect it yourself."
Li Mo was reminding them that the gold coins would not break and could be stored for as long as they wanted.
A group of people were about to move forward when they saw several rays of light shining down from above, and then heard someone talking. It seemed that the people who were up there still couldn't hold on, and after thinking about it, they followed down.
"Mr. Li, do we have to wait for them?"
"What else can we do if we don't wait? Since they are following us, let's go together."
The first people who came to the bottom of the cave were a group of staff with lighting tools. After they set up the brackets, the two lights on the left and right lit up at the same time. The dark cave suddenly lit up, and everything was clearly visible.
"Mr. Li, our logistical support has arrived. The lights below are set up, so there is no need to risk exploring slowly in the dark."
Yuli walked quickly to Li Mo, and then his eyes were attracted by a closed iron door a few meters away.
This guy came at the right time. Li Mo despised him a few times in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Since everyone has come down, I won't overwhelm you. Mr. Yuli, please."
After speaking, Li Mo turned sideways and motioned to the archaeological experts to take the first step.
"Let's step back first and not hinder their work."
The live broadcast was still in progress. Li Mo deliberately kept his face hidden and simply stepped back far away, letting the curious babies take the lead.
"Mr. Li, how could you miss such a good opportunity?"
Juliet was anxious. There might be a treasure hidden behind the iron gate. Seeing that it was within easy reach, Li Mo actually let it out. This made her extremely anxious.
"Ms. Juliet, please be calm. If there is really a treasure hidden behind the iron gate, do you think the iron gate can be opened so easily? No, let's retreat. There is an old saying in China: 'Don't be afraid of ten thousand, be afraid of ten thousand. One', what if there is danger when opening the iron door."
As soon as Li Mo retreated, Chen Xiaojun and the others retreated far away without even thinking. Juliet looked back at the people crowding in front of the iron gate, gritted her teeth and followed Li Mo's pace.
Clang, clang, clang, someone over there is knocking on the heavy iron door with an iron tool.
Li Mo couldn't understand what they were mumbling, but judging from what they did, the iron door was pushed open a crack.
"Danger, get down quickly."
Li Mo suddenly put his arms around Juliet's head and pushed her down directly. Chen Xiaojun and the others followed him down like a reflex.
Screams suddenly sounded one after another in the cave, and Li Mo could clearly feel arrows flying above his head. Some of the arrows penetrated deeply into people's bodies, some hit the walls on both sides of the cave and made a strong crashing sound. Of course, some of the arrows flew more than ten meters before landing on the ground.
Li Mo felt the body of the woman in his arms shaking slightly. She was obviously frightened by the sudden attack.
"Ms. Juliet, are you okay?"
"Thank you, Mr. Li. I was just panicked. I didn't expect that there was a mechanism hidden behind the iron gate, which injured many people."
"It's better not to talk so much. It's more important to save people first."
Before the treasure could see the shadow, seven members of the archaeological team who entered the cave were unfortunately assassinated by the agency, and the big guy Yuli was the first to bear the brunt. Although he was more sensitive to danger than ordinary people and his senses were quick, he was still trapped. Three flying arrows hit him, one in his lower abdomen, one in his arm, and one in his shoulder near his neck.
If he had been a little further away, Yuri's neck might have been sealed with a sword.
Juliet hurriedly went up to call someone, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense for a while. I was really worried that something would happen.
"Da Shan, for the sake of the gold coins, please help me. I hope no one will die."
If Yuri and the others hadn't followed, he would have had a way to crack the mechanism. But since they followed, he couldn't openly tell them that there was a murderous intention behind the iron gate, so he could only retreat far away.
The staff following the filming stood at the very back, so not only did they get a clear picture of the scene, but they were also lucky enough to escape the wave of flying arrows. Everyone was panicked for a moment, and there were screams and screams mixed together.
Li Mo also had to temporarily exit the cave and return to the ground, watching as people with blood on their bodies and screaming in agony were rushed out of the stable.
"Boss, that Yuri has passed out. What should we do now?" Dashan came over to take a look and asked. The scene was a bit bloody. They were worried that this blood debt would be recorded on Li Mo. It is very likely that the politicians here will always find an excuse for the accident and then find an unlucky guy to take the blame.
"Don't worry, just wait."
Li Mo was not worried at all. After a while, the filming team, who had calmed down, turned the camera to Li Mo. After all, he was the first to go into the cave. As a result, he escaped and the others were unlucky.
"Mr. Li, did you expect such a danger?"
The people watching the live broadcast had already jumped up. The attack of flying arrows just now was so shocking. At this time, they were all nervously waiting for what would happen next. Is the search for the treasure going to be temporarily suspended?
"It's a pity that such a terrible incident happened, but I am more confident now, and I can say for sure that there is a treasure hidden behind the iron gate. Otherwise, I would not have laid out such a killing move, and persisted for six or seven years. It can still be so lethal after a hundred years. Why do you have to be so deliberate? It can only mean that the treasure is right in front of you. I am going to go to the cave again, do you dare to come with me? "
Li Mo stared at the hot-looking reporter in front of him and asked seriously.
"Since there is a first wave of traps, there may be a second wave of agency traps. Mr. Li, do you really dare to continue taking action?"
"I don't want a life-threatening accident to happen, but I don't want the exploration of the treasure to end because of an accident. Now that I'm here, I won't stand idly by. Now that someone is injured, I should face the difficulties. superior."
Li Mo's eyes made a judgment. He walked to the entrance of the cave and took a deep breath: "If you are afraid, just stay up there."
"Mr. Li, I'm not afraid, I'll go down with you."
Juliet has deeply understood the power of Li Mo. At this moment, she must stand up and convey a message to everyone watching the live broadcast. Although she is a female, she is also a strong woman who can carry the banner.
The female reporter and the photographer looked at each other. They were also depressed, wondering whether they should risk their lives and follow.
Li Mo walked to the iron gate and was pushed away from the room at an angle of about 45 degrees. There were traces of blood on the ground, which made people feel uncomfortable.
