C873 The Secret of the Temple of the Sun
The next afternoon, a large group of people climbed up the hill. Their destination was the Sun Temple at the top of the mountain. They included Maltese government officials, Maltese archaeologists, and Maltese police personnel in charge of security.
Xia Lei and Linda were also among them.
Xia Lei donated a sum of money on behalf of Linda for the protection of the Sun Temple. suggested to visit the Sun Temple. The other party sent their officials and police, as well as the archaeologists from Malta, along to accompany Linda and give them face.
What Xia Lei wanted was this kind of effect, to spend money to get the officials of Malta involved. No matter how unreasonable the Knights Hospitaller was, they didn't dare to act rashly. After all, the pirate was a sovereign country with its own army and legal status. And Knights Hospitaller was only a form of the past, existing only in history. If they should challenge the authority of the current government, it would lose its footing.
When Xia Lei arrived at the Sun Temple, he realized that it was actually a stone temple. There was no majestic hall or any solemn and sacred gods, it was just a gigantic stone after another. They stood under the firmament, facing the vast Mediterranean, giving off an ancient and mysterious aura.
Linda and a few archaeologists from Malta were discussing the history of the Sun Temple and its unsolved mysteries. She was engrossed and excited. However, Xia Lei intentionally or unintentionally left the crowd and came to the side of the Sun Temple, bent over and looked at the cliff below.
Below his feet was a vertical cliff that was 500 meters away from the ground. This was a height of more than 100 floors. Those who were timid would not even dare to look at it. He awakened the hyperopia of his left eye and carefully observed the situation below. However, he did not see any cave or secret passage, which made him disappointed.
When he came, he had carefully observed them, but he did not find any traces of the existence of the Knights Hospitaller. He had even awakened the clairvoyance in his left eye to take a look at the ground beneath his feet, but it still did not yield the slightest bit. All the signs indicated that this was just an ordinary mountain, there simply weren't any headquarters in Knights Hospitaller or the existence of the Sacred Palace.
"The information I have can't be false. The Knights Hospitaller's headquarters is right here, but what do I need to do to find it?" Xia Lei fell into deep thought.
The wind from the Mediterranean stirred his hair and his clothes. Instinctively, he stepped back a little, but then he noticed a black dot on the beach below.
The line of sight of his left eye then settled on the black dot. It was a man in a black robe. He was looking at the top of the cliff, but not with the naked eye.
He then retracted his slightly extended upper body, his left eye however, sweeping over the edge of the rock to continue locking onto the black-robed man. The black-robed man was bald, and the black robe he wore was the same as the one he wore that night when he chased down Linda.
"Black Robe ?" Could it be that those black robed men are the so-called Holy Knights? " He thought to himself.
The black robed man only stayed for two minutes before he walked towards the bottom of a huge rock. Xia Lei quickly lost sight of him and she could no longer see him.
"So that's how it is!" Xia Lei's heart was filled with excitement, "The three sides below this cliff are cliffs, and are practically impossible to climb. However, one side is facing the sea, and one side is able to freely enter and exit by boat. "If I'm not wrong, there must be caves and waterways down here!"
The appearance of the black-robed man gave him hints, and it also made things much easier. If this black robed man hadn't come out to scout, he probably would have spent a lot of time on the mountain before shifting 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 fine, I'm just curious to see what is down there."
"You're like a child." Linda smirked: "Have you ever thought about what would happen if you fell down?"
Xia Lei thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "It will probably become an Italian pizza?"
"Puchi ?" Linda could not hold back his laughter.
"Did you find anything?" Xia Lei changed the topic.
Linda said: "I have come to this godly temple a long time ago, if there are any discoveries or harvests, that would be a matter of the past. "I came here specifically to accompany you, but you are here to do something boring and dangerous."
"Oh, sorry, can you walk with me? I want to take a closer look at this temple. " Xia Lei said.
"Sure, no problem." Linda took Xia Lei's arm, "If you have anything you want to know, you can ask me.
Did it mean anything else?
Xia Lei did not give it much thought as he continued to act the part of a homosexual.
Accompanied by Linda, Xia Lei strolled around the Sun Temple.
This godly temple had more than ten thousand years of history. Back then, when humans were still in the Stone Age, the most advanced technology they had was fire and stone. They didn't have the ability to build such a stone temple, not to mention it could calculate the exact time based on sunlight.
"It's really hard to imagine. How could a human from over ten thousand years ago build such a majestic Sun Temple? The mystery has plagued the world of archaeology for many years, and I still don't understand it. " Linda looked at Xia Lei, "Mr. Marley, you are a very smart person, I want to hear your opinion."
Xia Lei laughed, "I am a layman, if an expert like you can't understand it, how can I?"
"Just say it casually, just say it casually. What's wrong with that?" Linda shook Xia Lei's arm.
She was acting coquettishly, acting coquettishly towards a 'sister'. Since they were sisters, what did it matter that they were in such close contact?
Xia Lei seriously considered this question, and what he thought of was of a higher level than Linda, "Knights Hospitaller has set up their headquarters and Holy Palace here, there shouldn't be a reason. Could this be related to the Sun Temple? The Stone Age people did not have the ability to build this godly temple, but if it wasn't the Stone Age people, then who built it? And for what reason? " He sighed. "I'm sorry, I don't know anything about the history of this temple. I don't have any opinions."
"Yours." Linda said.
"What?" Xia Lei looked at her, puzzled.
Linda pointed to the place that she had been observing, but did not say anything.
Xia Lei fiercely lowered his head to look. At that moment, he wished he could slap himself in the face.
"Yes, yes." Linda cleared her throat and said honestly, "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 restroom? I've been holding it in for a long time. "
Linda, "..."
"Wait a moment, I'll go to a place with no one else to take care of it." Xia Lei took his hands from Linda's arms and chest, and quickly ran to a place with no one around.
Linda looked at Xia Lei's back, and the corners of his mouth raised high, "You can continue to pretend to be gay, but I will make you show circles. Let's wait and see, humph! "
Hiding behind a rock, Xia Lei could not help but smile bitterly. He actually didn't need anything from his, but he didn't want Linda to come over and check if there was any liquid or anything on the ground, before continuing to ask him if he was gay.
Women were sometimes easy to deceive, but sometimes difficult to deceive.
After solving the problem, Xia Lei zipped himself up. However, just as he was about to leave, his gaze suddenly fell on a puddle of water on the ground, which he was unable to move away from. It was the bottom of the pillars. After the soil was washed away by the liquid, a square pattern appeared at the bottom of the pillars that were hidden in the soil.
The fact that a square pattern appeared in some historical monuments was not a rare sight to behold. In fact, it was quite common. But this square pattern was different, because it was the pattern of a ancient alloy box. Although it was not 100% gentle, but some details allowed Xia Lei to confirm this point.
Xia Lei was dumbstruck, "This ? "What's going on?"
"Mr. Marley, what are you doing there?" Linda's voice sounded, and then there was the sound of her footsteps.
Xia Lei anxiously used his feet to dig at the ground, covering the design of the box. But at the same time, he also awakened the clairvoyance in his left eye to look at the bottom of the pillar. Unfortunately, other than this design, there was no other clue.
Linda walked over with a smile, "Mr. Marley, what are you doing?"
Xia Lei then retracted his gaze, and walked towards her, "Let's go back."
"Go back? Are they going back so soon? You haven't even finished visiting this temple. " Linda felt very surprised.
Xia Lei said: "I suddenly feel uncomfortable, I want to go back to rest. How about this, can you give me some professional information about the Sun Temple? I'm curious, I want to see it. "
"Of course you can. Alright, since that's the case, let's go back." Linda came up and held Xia Lei's arm, "You're not feeling well, let me help you walk."
Xia Lei, "..."
Before leaving, Xia Lei turned around to look at the stone pillar. After urinating out the hidden secret of the Sun Temple, he couldn't wait to go back and decipher the bronze valuable book that he had snatched from William Arthur's hands.
