Chapter 131 Secrets
134. Secret
Tang Wen walked to the nearest statue, squatted down and looked at it carefully.
"They are here, but they still refuse to let us go. For the glory of the Templars, they will fight to the last moment."
"Master, this is Bob XIII. He was also killed by the Eye of Power last year." The old man said with a sigh.
"He is the last heir of the Bob family. Except for the previous head of the family who had an illegitimate son in the United States, all members of the Bob family have died gloriously."
"Eye of power?" Tang Wen was very curious when he heard a name from the old man's mouth.
"Jesse, have you heard of it?" Tang Wen turned to Jesse and said.
"Sorry BOSS, never." Jesse shook his head and said.
So Tang Wen turned his attention to the old man, hoping that he would give him an explanation.
The old man said bitterly: "Master, I don't know much about this Eye of Power. They are a mysterious organization that has been around for a long time. It is said that several D expeditions are related to this mysterious force."
"Then how could the Bob family be targeted by them?" Tang Wen was even more speechless.
"The Bob family has been guarding the secrets of the Templars for generations. When I was a child, I heard the previous head of the family talk about it once. It is said that after the first head of the family was exposed, they would send people to question him every 20 years. "
"Forced questioning?" Tang Wen asked.
"Yes, sometimes it is a group of people, sometimes it is several people. I have only seen it three times in my more than 60 years of life." The old man recalled for a moment and said.
"What are they looking for? Didn't they say anything?" Tang Wen was very curious about this.
"Except for the previous family heads, no one knows what the Bob family protects." The old man shook his head.
Tang Wen nodded, looked around and said, "Have you never been discovered here?"
The old man said proudly: "This is the secret room designed by the first head of the family himself. Unless the stone slab outside is pressed down according to the rules, even explosives cannot blow open the stone slab poured with special potion."
"So powerful?" Tang Wen said in surprise.
The old man knew this very well and said: "The stone above is made of the same material as the wall of the Templar Fortress. It is made with a special secret recipe. After the gate of the Templar Fortress was blown open, the wall next to it was It just left a black mark."
Tang Wen clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "It looks like this is similar to the stone of the watchtower on the ancient city wall."
The old man nodded in agreement.
In the Middle Ages, most castles provided archers with a place called a lookout. The stone in this position can be said to be the strongest, because it is not only used to protect archers.
It also has to resist the power of catapults, so this location is usually made of special stones. Instead, the walls are made of heavy stone bricks.
"Master, there is what you want on the stone platform. The mission of the Bob family for generations has been completed. I, Zach, can rest in peace." The old man said happily.
"Go out and wait for me." Tang Wen nodded and said to Zach and everyone else.
After Old Zach left with a group of people, Tang Wen frowned and walked towards the stone platform.
"Diary?" After walking in, Tang Wen discovered that what was on the stone table turned out to be a thick diary.
After turning the first page, it was filled with densely written La language. Fortunately, Tang Wen had reviewed La language in advance for this treasure. Although he was not proficient in it, he could barely read it.
Shaking his head, Tang Wen continued to look down.
"Jacques? The last leader of the Knights Templar?" After Tang Wen looked at the introduction on the first page, he realized that it was the diary of the leader of the Knights.
It records everything that happened after the leader came to France after the fall of the Holy Land.
Page 1: "The Holy Land was lost, Hornpu covered my retreat, and the Holy Grail was lost on the way..."
Page 2: "I am a sinner and the Holy Grail is missing."
Page three. . . .
Until in the middle, Jacques mentioned that one day the king, accompanied by the finance minister, came to the Castle of the Knights to discuss the loan issue.
"The king already owes us 200,000 gold coins. I have a bad feeling..."
"There is news from Casa that the Holy Grail is in France..."
"He's in trouble, it's all such a coincidence."
"For the sake of the Knights, I asked Huo Enpu to move all the property to a safe place."
"Everything has been saved. Casa said we have a mole and asked me to come over quickly."
"Besides Huo Enpu, I don't know who else I can trust."
"I put the code on the hilt of my sword..."
"Today I told Huo Enpu to leave immediately if something happens to me."
"Who is the mastermind behind all this..."
"The Eye of Power, they are eyeing the Holy Grail."
"It's too late, I want to find our Holy Grail..." Jacques
Tang Wen was speechless when he saw this. Why does this involve the legendary Holy Grail again?
Looking down, there is a diary. This is Huo Enpu's diary, which records his escape from Knight's Castle. I deliberately went to Switzerland first and stayed there for a few months before returning to France as a blacksmith.
No one knew that the wanted deputy leader of the Knights had quietly returned here. The king and the nobles did not find the treasure, so they naturally vented their anger on the knight.
So they began to hunt and kill knights. After Hornp helped a group of knights escape, he used the money he earned to find out information. In order not to attract attention, he began to appear in front of the public as a wool merchant.
"Today, a group of people found me and asked me about the whereabouts of the Holy Grail. I don't know who they are, but there is an eye pattern on their clothes."
"They killed Kelly, the Eye of Power... Their organization is called the Eye of Power..."
"Kahn was found by them. In order to prevent the treasure of the Knights from being taken away by them, I must..."
"In order to protect the Knights, I bought a piece of land and asked someone to build a basement. I have to hide the secret. Be careful of them, be careful of the Eye of Power."
"Today I let little Lauren join us and swear to defend the Knights to death by the will of the Lord."
"Goodbye, little Lauren. Only when I die can the secret be kept forever."
Seeing this, Tang Wen flipped to the back and found that there was nothing left.
"Could the secret be the two broken notebooks?" Tang Wen said speechlessly. Just as he was about to put the diary back, a piece of paper fell out of the diary. Tang Wen picked it up and saw that it was half a yellowed paper.
After a pause, Tang Wen picked up Jacques' diary and shook it, and a yellow paper fell out of it. Putting them together, it was just a complete picture with a big eye on it.
"Eye of God?" Tang Wen muttered to himself as he looked at the words on the paper.
"Eye of God, Eye of Power, what is the relationship between them?" Tang Wen was very curious about the Eye of Power organization mentioned in the two diaries.
But what he wanted to know more was why the gem on Jacques' sword ended up in Alama and finally fell into the hands of the princess.
"Yes, gem." Tang Wen slapped his thigh, picked up the glass ruby given by the princess and put it next to his eyes, and then looked at the yellowed drawing.
There were paragraphs of tiny words on it.
It turned out that this secret letter was left by the dead Templar Kasa. The letter described in detail that when he went to the Holy Land, he accidentally found someone prying the box containing the Holy Grail on a dock.
So he quickly spent money to buy it. Because the box was locked, no one knew what was inside. Unexpectedly, he was targeted by a mysterious organization.
The Eye of Power is said to have been established by a group of exiled nobles in the ancient Babylonian period. After being exiled, they began to expand themselves by doing business and trade.
Even the oldest Hanramo Code was built by this group of people, because their desire for power after being exiled can be said to have reached the level of obsession.
And their symbol is an eye, which represents endless power. Almost all European countries have a member of their parliament or army.
Their eyes can be said to be spread all over Europe. In order to get the Holy Grail, they did not hesitate to instigate Irama's people to attack the Holy Land so as to gain benefits from it.
After the Holy Grail was lost, this group of people learned from somewhere that the Holy Grail was still in the Holy Land, so they began to send people to look for it frantically.
After Kasa got the box containing the Holy Grail, he wanted to leave, so he secretly sent a letter for help to the leader Jacques. He also secretly hid the Holy Grail and sent the address to the leader in a special way.
