Three days have passed, and the day agreed with Tianyi is tomorrow. Count Beauje has made preparations and brought all the priceless treasures in the treasure from the temporary storage place to his big house in the city.
The Earl now only has thirteen of his most loyal followers left. They are extremely loyal to the exiled Grand Master of the Knights Templar, even if they sacrifice their lives.
With Muzio's death, his abilities naturally disappeared, and his "right eye" attached to the back of one of the count's followers also disappeared. Of course, the person involved did not know about this matter, and Tianyi had no intention of bringing it up.
That night, the count came to Tianyi's bookstore again. When he pushed the door in, Tianyi was sitting behind the desk as usual, playing with something in his hand.
The count walked in and took a look. It was just a piece of black paper with strange symbols and graphics drawn on it. I'm afraid it was some kind of magic circle that only wizards could understand.
"Master." The count called him.
Tianyi was folding the black paper. He started folding it from the shorter side, making one fold and one fold, each with the same distance apart. He didn't raise his eyes and just replied: "If you want to ask what this is, I can tell you that it is a ladder that can be extended infinitely."
The Earl thought for a moment and understood, and asked: "Is this going to be used in the tunnel you built?"
Tianyi replied: "Yes, unless you want your followers to slide or roll down holding the treasure."
The Count said: "Master, so you say the tunnel is not completed yet?"
"No, it's done. Generating the ladder is the last step. This can be done on the spot. I'm too lazy to make an extra trip beforehand." Tianyi said, having finished folding the paper: "When you came here, the treasure in the All the treasures have been transported to your residence, now do you want to hear the specific plan for tomorrow?"
The earl had long since determined that Tianyi could read minds, and he was not surprised when someone revealed his intentions: "Yes, please make it clear, master."
Tianyi said: "It's very simple. Tomorrow morning, you go hire a carriage..."
… …
At four o'clock in the morning the next day, before dawn, the Count went out. He was very careful along the way, looking back every three steps and turning around every five steps, just like an NPC in some games that is specially used to complete tracking tasks.
And when I say "certain games," I obviously don't mean B-X, but Assassin's Creed.
In short, the count's sneaky and tiptoeing behavior was very abnormal, enough to arouse the vigilance of everyone who was watching him in the dark.
Currently, there are three organizations that have successfully tracked the Count's residence in Rome and conducted 24-hour tracking and surveillance. Originally there were four organizations, but the remote surveillance of Isaiah Monastery was taken care of by Tianyi a few days ago. In fact, the monastery was originally different from the organizations or individuals who responded to Philip IV's secret wanted order. Under the instructions of "someone", they tried to create an accidental death for the count that did not look like an assassination. As for the secret carried by the earl, it has nothing to do with them.
Talking back to the men of the three organizations, after they found the whereabouts of Count Beauje in Rome, in addition to the Count himself, they naturally followed the Count's entourage. There was nothing unusual about the Count's actions. He had been to pubs and bookstores, walked in the square, and visited the Colosseum with a guy in black robes. The weirdo seemed to be just a bookstore owner. There was nothing noteworthy about the actions of the followers.
But the day before yesterday, the watchers witnessed the count's entourage transporting something into the city from a hidden cellar outside the city. This is the biggest breakthrough in half a month. You must stay calm. No one will act rashly.
These people are very cautious in doing things. They put everything in boxes. They can't see what is being transported. It may be valuable, or it may just be a pile of garbage. Only a fool would rush out and grab it directly, losing the advantage of hiding in the dark. If you rush out, kill a bunch of followers, and open the box to see a full box of wine or a gypsy prostitute, won't you be ridiculed by your peers if word gets out
Anyway, just keep following them and find out where they are transporting the boxes. After the entourage left, people from the three organizations went in and explored the secret cellar. Unfortunately, it was already empty. The earl hid the treasure separately from the gold and silver, so these people remained unaware of the situation.
Just as the decision-makers of those organizations were discussing whether to take down Count Beauje in one fell swoop in the next few days and unravel the truth about those boxes, they didn't expect that this guy would come out in the dark today. Combined with the information from the previous boxes, Everyone knows the situation, there must be something going on here.
Three people followed the count all the way. When they saw this guy coming to the stables in the city, they hired a carriage and hurried back to their residence in a hurry. Then he and the coachman quietly went into his big house. The two of them quietly moved a large box out and stuffed the box into the carriage. Then, the count also got into the car, and the driver whipped his horse and galloped away outside the city of Rome.
The monitors were extremely excited. No matter what the big secret was on the count, it seemed that he was going to lure us away soon.
Generally speaking, there is more than one person responsible for surveillance. Just like modern police surveillance, there is always a precaution. If you go to the toilet while being watched alone, a flying saucer will land in these five minutes and kill you. If you catch a target and install a giant radar or something in his anus, and you don't see it, then humanity is doomed.
Units with experience and qualifications sent people to follow him, at least in groups of two, as did the three organizations tracking the count. During the day they would sometimes send five men to wander around, ready to split up at any time to follow the count's entourage.
Seeing the count's behavior at this moment, everyone knows what this guy Boge is going to do. Are you ready to pack up your belongings and run away alone? Therefore, the monitors were all divided into two groups. One group went to ask for instructions from the organization. Of course, this was just a formality. The other group immediately followed, leaving marks for their associates along the way. If necessary, they could arrest them first and then report them. .
As a result, the three people either reported back or ran away with the carriage, leaving the count's residence unmonitored. Everyone knows that the secret lies with the earl. At this moment, the earl and the big box that seems to be the "secret" have fled in a hurry. Who wants to pay attention to the followers who have been abandoned by the earl.
So... about ten minutes after the carriage left, the real Count Beauje and his twelve followers came out of the big house. As for the thirteenth follower, when the count entered the house just now, he had already changed into the same clothes as the count, took advantage of the darkness before dawn, and ran away with the coachman carrying a large box full of stones. .
The coachman was quite baffled. This early in the morning, an employer came and offered generously. He said he was leaving the city and packed a large box. If he hadn't heard the sound of something rolling down in the box, the coachman would have suspected that he was smuggling a body. What.
The Earl and his twelve loyal men, who had lost their surveillance, used manpower to carry three wooden boxes of moderate size and headed towards the Colosseum as agreed with Tianyi...
… …
Suisside witnessed the game between the consultant and Vanessa, and his brain was already a little unable to turn. The conversation was completely based on various assumptions and their measurement of each other's wisdom, just like two people talking about each other. Explore n other parallel universes after the timeline has multiple branches, and use the reality that may have happened but has not happened to back-end the rationality of certain actions in this universe.
The gunsmith licked his lips and looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, as if in a daze. His expression seemed to say: "I have no idea what they are talking about."
"If you can ask it, it means you have guessed the answer." After listening to Vanessa's question, the consultant said without thinking at all: "Your grand leader does not need those medieval gold and silver treasures, let alone It was necessary to obtain those golden sacred objects made by ancient kings, which were vulgar. What he wanted was knowledge.
Looking back at the Crusades' Eastern expeditions under the banner of religion, during the process of massacre and looting, they obtained many treasures belonging to other civilizations. One of them was the "Sky Code" of the ancient Babylonians. , happened to be among the Templar treasures left by Morlay.
And your grand leader needs the knowledge hidden in this to..."
The consultant stopped here: "By the way, does this flag officer have the right to know this kind of secret? If I tell him now, he won't be silenced by your own people after he goes up, right? ?”
Suisside was frightened when he heard this. Normally, people's feeling of fear would fade in this ruins, but he was still nervous at this moment.
When Vanessa heard the words "Sky Code", she looked to the side and sighed deeply. She thought that the consultant was going to finish speaking without any explanation, but she didn't expect that he actually stopped.
"That's just right. Stop talking. It's really better not to know his level." Vanessa replied.
Suisside was completely shocked and thought to himself: What do you mean? Is it true that if you hear this secret, you will die? Wait...a secret that even I don't know, but someone with the reverse cross knows it? Then can Lady Venisa let these guys run away? She will definitely fall out once she comes out of the ruins.
"So, is my answer satisfactory to you?" the consultant asked.
"Okay, I believe you." Vanessa snorted: "Your boss and you are both crazy."
The consultant didn't deny it, just smiled noncommittally.
An Shui spoke at this time, and his voice returned to his original voice, without any emotion in his tone: "Now that the two parties have reached an agreement, this should be the last time, because of trust issues and mutual suspicion, We were wary and stopped to discuss. Next, we must move faster and work together to reach the core part as soon as possible." He walked towards a handprint symbol, stretched out his hand and said: "In addition, I would like to remind you that the current The temperature is seventeen degrees Celsius."
