The Knights Hospitaller launched a search in Valletta, looking for four female knights who had defected. Hospitals, hotels and streets were full of Knights Hospitallers, but they were unable to enter the Chinese Embassy in Malta to conduct searches. That place is equal to the territory of China and is a restricted area. Therefore, even if the Knights Hospitallers searched the entire island of Malta, they would not be able to find Giovanna, Stella, Rosa and Theresa. As for Xia Lei, there is no need to think about it.
In the afternoon of the next day, a large group of people climbed up the hillside. Their destination was the Temple of the Sun on the top of the mountain. This group of people included Maltese government officials, Maltese archaeologists, and Maltese police personnel responsible for security.
Xia Lei and Linda were also among them.
Xia Lei donated a fund in Linda's name to protect the Sun Temple. Malta's Cultural Relics Protection Bureau was happy to hear about such things. Linda proposed to visit the Temple of the Sun, and the other party simply sent officials and police, as well as Maltese archaeologists to accompany her, which was a good deal.
Xia Lei wanted this effect, so he paid Maltese officials to intervene. No matter how ruthless the Hospital Knights were, they would not dare to act rashly. After all, this pirate is a sovereign country with its own army and legal status. The Knights Hospitallers are just a past tense, existing only in history. If they challenge the authority of the current government, it may even lose its foothold.
When Xia Lei arrived at the Sun Temple, he discovered that it was actually a stone temple. There was no majestic temple as imagined, and no solemn and sacred statues, just huge stones one after another. They stand under the sky, facing the magnificent Mediterranean Sea, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Linda discusses the history and unsolved mysteries of the Temple of the Sun with several archaeologists from Malta. She was engaged and enthusiastic. Xia Lei intentionally or unintentionally left the crowd and came to the edge of the Sun Temple, leaning down to look at the cliff below him.
Under his feet is a vertical cliff with a drop of almost 500 meters. It is more than a hundred stories high, and timid people may not even dare to take a look. He awakened the far-sighted ability in his left eye and observed the situation below very carefully. But he didn't see any caves or secret passages, which made him quite disappointed.
He also observed carefully when he came, but he found no trace of the Knights Hospitallers at all. He even awakened the clairvoyance ability of his left eye to see through the land under his feet, but he still didn't gain anything. All signs indicate that this is just an ordinary mountain, and there is no headquarters or holy palace of the Knights Hospitaller at all.
"The information I got cannot be false. The headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller is here, but how can I find it?" Xia Lei fell into deep thought.
The sea breeze blowing from the Mediterranean blew his hair and his clothes. He subconsciously stepped back a little, but at this moment he discovered a black spot on the beach below.
His left eye followed and determined the black spot. It was a man in black robes. He was looking at the top of the cliff, but he was not using the naked eye, but a telescope.
He then retracted his upper body that was slightly stretched out, but his left eye glanced at the edge of the rock and continued to focus on the man in black robes. The man in black robe had a bald head, and the black robe he wore was the same as the man in black robe who chased Linda that night. It looked like a wizard's black robe.
"Black robes... Are those people in black robes the so-called Holy Knights?" He thought secretly in his heart.
The man in black robe only stayed for two minutes, and then walked towards the bottom of a huge rock. Xia Lei quickly lost sight of him and could no longer see him.
"So that's what happened!" Xia Lei's heart was filled with excitement. "This cliff is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. It is almost impossible to climb, but one side is close to the sea. You can go in and out freely by boat. If I guessed correctly, this There must be caves and waterways down there!”
The appearance of the man in black robe gave him a hint and made things easier. If the man in black robe had not come out to spy on the situation above, he would have spent a lot of time on the mountain before turning his attention to the bottom of the cliff.
"Mr. Marley, what are you doing? Come back quickly!" Linda's voice sounded very nervous.
Xia Lei then left the edge of the cliff, "It's okay, I'm just curious to see what's underneath."
"You are like a child." Linda said with a raised lip: "Have you ever thought about what would happen to you if you fell?"
Xia Lei thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Maybe it will become an Italian pizza?"
"Pfft..." Linda couldn't help laughing.
"Have you discovered anything or gained anything?" Xia Lei changed the subject.
Linda said: "I have been to this temple a long time ago. If there are any discoveries and gains, it was before. I came here specifically to accompany you, but you are here doing boring and dangerous things."
"Oh, I'm sorry, can you walk with me? I want to take a closer look at this temple." Xia Lei said.
"Okay, no problem." Linda took Xia Lei's arm, "You can ask me anything you want to know, and I will meet all your requirements."
Is there something else in this sentence
Xia Lei didn't think deeply about it and continued to act gay.
Accompanied by Linda, Xia Lei walked around the Sun Temple.
This temple has a history of more than 10,000 years. At that time, humans were still in the Stone Age. The most advanced technology was fire and stone tools. There was no way to build such a stone temple, not to mention that it could calculate accurately based on sunlight. time.
"It's really unimaginable. How could humans build such a majestic Sun Temple more than 10,000 years ago? This mystery has puzzled the archaeological community for many years, and I still can't figure it out." Linda looked at Xia Ray, "Mr. Marley, you are a very smart man and I want to hear your opinion."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "I'm a layman. Experts like you can't figure it out. How can I figure it out?"
"Just talk casually, just talk casually, what's wrong with that?" Linda shook Xia Lei's arm, and her soft body rubbed Xia Lei's arm without hesitation, as if to Like melting his arm off.
She was acting coquettishly, to a "sister". Since they are sisters, what does such close contact have to do with them
Xia Lei thought about this question very seriously, and what he thought of was deeper than Linda's question. "There is a reason why the Knights Hospitallers have their headquarters and the Holy Palace located here. Could it be related to this Sun God?" Is it related to the temple? People in the Stone Age simply didn’t have the ability to build this temple, but if it wasn’t humans in the Stone Age, who would have built it? And why was it built?”
He was concentrating on this issue and ignored the harassment Linda brought him. However, the harassment from Linda continued unabated and was always with him in his thinking.
For a subtle moment, Linda suddenly stopped moving. Her soft arms and Xia Lei's arms still maintained the posture of holding a hot dog between the buns, but her eyes moved directly to between Xia Lei's legs. A ball formed in that place, like an umbrella.
Linda was stunned, and her heart was at war with each other, "Didn't he say he was gay? How could he have such a reaction?"
Xia Lei was still thinking about the possible connection between the Temple of the Sun and the Knights of the Hospital. He didn't realize that the woman next to him was staring at him in shock.
Linda held his arm tighter and shook him gently. While shaking, observe the obvious place. There was also an intriguing smile on the corner of her mouth, as if the baby had a secret in his heart, but he didn't tell it.
"Hey." Xia Lei sighed, "Sorry, I don't know anything about the history of this temple. I don't have any opinion."
"That's your fault," Linda said.
"What?" Xia Lei looked at her puzzled.
Linda pointed to where she had been observing, but said nothing.
Xia Lei glanced down suddenly. At that moment, he wanted to slap himself.
"Yeah." Linda cleared her throat and said in a very frank tone, "Don't you think you should give me an explanation?"
"What explanation?"
"are you gay?"
"Of course." Xia Lei said.
"Then why did you..." Linda pointed to that place again.
Xia Lei followed, "Where is the toilet? I've been holding it in for a long time."
Linda, “…”
"Wait for me, I'll go to a deserted place to deal with it." Xia Lei took his hand away from Linda's arm and chest, and ran anxiously to a deserted place.
Linda looked at Xia Lei's back and raised the corners of her mouth, "You can continue to pretend to be gay, but I will let you reveal your round shape. We'll see, huh!"
Xia Lei, who hid behind a rock, couldn't help but smile bitterly and opened the zipper to solve the problem. He actually had no need for it, but he didn't want Linda to come over and check if there was any sex on the ground, and then continue to ask him if he was gay.
Women are sometimes easy to deceive, but sometimes they are difficult to deceive.
After solving the problem, Xia Lei zipped up, but just as he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly fell on a puddle of water on the ground, and he couldn't look away. It was the bottom of a strip-shaped stone pillar. After the soil was washed away by the gun, a square pattern appeared at the bottom of the stone pillar hidden in the soil.
The appearance of square patterns in these historical monuments is not unusual, and is even common. But this square pattern is different, because it is the pattern of an ancient alloy box. Although it was not 100% gentle, some details made Xia Lei confirm this.
Xia Lei was stunned, "What...what's going on?"
"Mr. Marley, what are you doing there?" Linda's voice came, as well as her footsteps. She had indeed come to conduct reconnaissance.
Xia Lei hurriedly dug into the soil with his feet, covering the pattern of the box. But he also awakened the clairvoyance ability of his left eye to see through the bottom of the stone pillar. Unfortunately, there are no other clues other than this pattern.
Linda came over with a smile on her face, "Mr. Marley, what are you doing?"
Xia Lei then looked away and walked towards her, "Let's go back."
"Go back? Are you going back so soon? You haven't even finished visiting this temple yet." Linda was surprised.
Xia Lei said: "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, and I want to go back to rest. So, can you give me some professional information about the Sun Temple? I'm very curious, and I want to take a look."
"Of course, okay, if that's the case, let's go back." Linda came up and took Xia Lei's arm, "If you feel uncomfortable, I will help you walk."
Xia Lei, "..."
Before leaving, Xia Lei looked back at the stone pillar. After peeing, he revealed the secret hidden in the Temple of the Sun. Now he couldn't wait to go back and decipher the bronze book he snatched from William Arthur.
