When the oil in the oil lamp was replaced again, Kieran stopped in his tracks.
"Just ahead!"
Qin Ran said so.
However, Earl Wayne did not show any excitement. Instead, he made another gesture of invitation to Qin Ran and Sheriff John, signaling to Qin Ran and the two to continue exploring.
Obviously, this cunning earl will not act rashly until he actually sees the treasure.
"Give me an oil lamp!"
Qin Ran said.
Then, a freshly filled oil lamp was handed over by a dead man.
The light that suddenly appeared in his hands allowed Qin Ran to see the road in front of him more clearly - although he had seen the blueprint and Gong Lansen had also described it in detail, it was completely different from seeing it with his own eyes.
The stone steps are completely different from the wet and slippery ground on the way here.
Most of the bottom steps had already been covered by dry mud, and the exposed half was covered with dust.
It is different from the previous stench and dampness.
It's dry here and smells much better.
Looking at the thick dust on the steps and the corridor behind, Earl Wayne couldn't help but chuckled.
Everything was as he expected, Swoko and Rushan did not find this place, but went to an unknown place.
At forks along the way, it is not uncommon to get lost if there is no one who really understands the place to lead the way.
"Detective Qin Ran, please continue!"
Earl Wayne gestured.
"Be careful where you step!"
Qin Ran reminded Sheriff John to support the other party, and went up the steps, and the palm supporting the other party's arm moved forward without a trace, and the fingers happened to be placed on the other party's palm.
The simple text writing began as the two walked forward.
Tru, who was walking behind the two, didn't notice.
Earl Wayne, who was farther away, also did not find it.
The corridor is not long, less than twenty meters.
But it was enough for Qin Ran to tell Sheriff John about something important.
Sheriff John did not show any flaws.
The two led the team to the end of the corridor, and a hall appeared in front of everyone.
This is a square hall, except for the walls directly opposite the corridor, the remaining two sides are erected with pillars, in front of each pillar, there are five steps going down, following the steps down to the hall In the center, a wide open space.
The ground is entirely paved with square bricks.
There are some patterns on these square bricks, but they are covered by thick dust.
However, everyone was looking at the wall directly opposite.
Although it has faded due to time, anyone can tell that it is a painted painting.
A rising sun!
Emblem of the Church of Dawn.
On both sides of the badge are rows of small characters engraved in seals.
Gong Lansen had already explained these words to Qin Ran, so Qin Ran didn't care at all, but Earl Wayne who followed was attracted by these words.
Even Sheriff John is no exception.
"This is the former meeting hall of Dawn Church!"
"It turns out that they hid their wealth here!"
"It's always under my feet!"
Looking at those words, Earl Wayne muttered to himself.
The secret information circulating in the family, as well as multiple investigations, had already led Earl Wayne into the situation arranged by Qin Ran and Gong Lansen.
The meeting hall in front of you is the real meeting hall of Dawn Church.
Built five hundred years ago by the last 'Son of God' pope in existence on record.
Only the real high-level members of Dawn Church know.
In fact, this high-level category consists of three people: the pope, the saint, and the head of the Guardian Knights.
Gong Lansen is not the head of the Guardian Knights, but as the Church of Dawn disappeared into history, Sister Moni, the former saint, did not mind telling Gong Lansen more things that seemed to be very secret.
Similarly, after Qin Ran mentioned the plan of 'leading the opponent to a place suitable for ambush and killing him with one blow', Gong Lansen informed Qin Ran of this place without reservation.
Qin Ran was overjoyed at this.
Is there any place that is more suitable for storing the thousand-year wealth of the Church of Dawn than the meeting hall of the Church of Dawn in front of you
As for the destruction of such a meeting hall, Gong Lansen didn't seem to have any heartache.
In the words of the guardian knight, 'there is only a pile of broken stones left, which will be destroyed sooner or later! '
Even when he said these words again, Qin Ran could clearly see the sadness on the other person's face.
As for Sister Monie
After Gong Lansen took over, the nun seldom appeared in front of Qin Ran. Except for the occasional meal, most of the time she prayed and taught the students.
For that nun, that was all she had.
Moreover, she trusted Gong Lansen extremely.
I believe that Gong Lansen can do his best.
In fact, it is.
When entering this hall, Kieran saw the mark Gong Lansen left in the corner.
It means that the guardian knight is ready!
Now, all that's left is him.
Qin Ran glanced around without moving his expression.
He saw Earl Wayne's full attention was attracted by the mural in front of him, and those dead soldiers were scattered around to protect the earl.
Only the opponent's subordinate named Tru, still closely followed him and Sheriff John.
Obviously, Earl Wayne had absolute confidence in his subordinate, and would not worry about what Kieran and Sheriff John would do.
And if you look at the appearance, it is the same.
Even the taller, more athletic Sheriff John was a size smaller than the other.
Not to mention Qin Ran.
Therefore, when Qin Ran slammed his legs sideways, the other party was taken aback for a moment, and then rushed towards Qin Ran with a grin.
Regarding Qin Ran's kick, the other party didn't intend to pay any attention to it.
In Tru's opinion, Kieran's slender legs won't hurt him at all!
And this made the other party suffer.
call!
boom!
Kieran's left leg hit Tru's shoulder with a whistling sound.
The dull hitting sound was like hitting with a hammer.
With the blessing of the special effects of [Unarmed Fighting. Proficient in Two-legged Fighting], Kieran, who originally had E-level strength, suddenly gained E+-level strength.
This kind of strength is already at the level of an absolute champion among weightlifters, and it is already one step away from surpassing the scope of ordinary people.
Although Toru is tall and has a lot of fighting experience, he is still in the category of ordinary people, at most he is stronger than ordinary people.
Faced with such a leg, Tru felt the long-lost pain, and his whole body staggered and almost fell.
And at this time, Qin Ran's second leg arrived.
Almost at the moment when his left foot landed, Kieran's right leg kicked straight out, and his right foot ruthlessly kicked Tru's chest.
Tru, who had suffered just now, subconsciously wanted to dodge.
However, he suddenly discovered that Qin Ran's kick was even faster than the previous sudden attack.
[Bessica kicking technique]!
boom!
Without reservation, Kieran kicked Tru's chest.
Immediately, the opponent, who was already staggering, fell to the ground, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
[Unarmed Combat. Proficient in Two-legged Fighting]+[Besica Kicking Technique]The E+ level strength and agility brought by it made Kieran's two strikes effective.
"Walk!"
Kieran, who cleared away the only obstacle, did not expand his victory again, and ran to the side as soon as he pulled Sergeant John.
"shot!"
Earl Wayne was taken aback for a moment, as if he couldn't accept that Trudeau would be brought down by Kieran, and then he gave the order very simply.
bang bang bang!
The muzzle of the flintlock burst into flames, and the thick smoke formed by the gunpowder immediately filled the entire hall.
However, Earl Wayne could clearly see through the light that Kieran and Sheriff John fell to the ground a moment before his men fired, and after the gunshot fell, the two stood up again and ran towards the pillars in the hall.
"Get rid of me..."
The continuous missteps made Earl Wayne very angry, and he growled.
However, the sudden flame behind him caused Earl Wayne to turn around subconsciously.
He saw a tall, strong old man appearing at the entrance, holding a lit torch and carrying a box.
Beside the old man was a young man whom he had never seen before, nervously watching the situation of Kieran and Sheriff John in the hall.
"Gong Lansen? You're not dead yet?!"
Earl Wayne quickly set his sights on the old man, and immediately frowned.
He is well aware of the legend about the last guardian knight of the Dawn Church.
However, what made his heart tremble even more was the box on the opponent's shoulder.
what is that
Earl Wayne asked himself.
"You are alive, how can I die?"
Gong Lansen said with the corner of his mouth curled up.
Then, moving the torch slightly, the fuse left outside the box was instantly ignited.
"Your things, return them to you!"
Gong Lansen threw it forward vigorously.
Suddenly, the box seemed to be thrown by a catapult, and it slammed into Earl Wayne fiercely.
The surrounding dead soldiers rushed towards the box one after another, hoping to use their flesh and blood as a shield.
Earl Wayne's face changed drastically.
He already knew what was in there.
After all, Swoco and Rushan have a batch of self-made explosives given by him.
By now, Earl Wayne would be a fool if he still didn't understand that Swoke and Rushan were already dead, and that he had been fooled from the very beginning.
"Get out!"
Earl Wayne frantically rushed towards the side pillar, he knew very well that he could only survive if he stood under enough cover.
At the same time, he loudly reminded those dead soldiers.
Those dead soldiers are his important bargaining chips, and there is absolutely no room for loss.
However, it is obviously a bit late.
boom!
A huge explosion echoed in the underground hall, and the eleven dead men and Tru, who fell to the ground and vomited blood, were smashed to pieces in the flames and explosion.
The whole hall trembled again and again.
And this kind of jitter is becoming more and more intense as time goes by.
The hall in front of me is about to collapse.
Kieran, Sheriff John, who were hiding behind the pillar, and Earl Wien, who also escaped from the explosion, began to rush towards the entrance when they came.
"hurry up!"
Gong Lansen roared.
"Sheriff, Your Excellency Qin Ran, hurry up!"
The young man on the side also shouted anxiously.
And none of the five noticed the cracks on the mural facing the entrance, cracks like spider webs, spreading and overlapping with the shaking of the hall.
finally-
boom!
The whole mural was broken like this.
Uncountable amounts of gold gushed out from behind the wall like a tidal wave.
