Chapter 838: Searching for the 'Prophet'
Return to the hostel.
Hall and Bryce went back to their rooms to rest, Jiang Hao and Laura returned to their rooms, put down their backpacks, took out the box and opened it, and took out the map from inside.
"What is this?" Laura looked at Jiang Hao curiously and asked.
"I don't know, but I suspect that the place marked on this map has something to do with some 'prophet,' you see here." Jiang Hao pointed to the sentence under the map for Laura to see.
"Where the Prophet Falls, Syria --- Marela."
"Who is Marella?"
"Check it out."
turned on the computer, the two looked up the name Marella, and suddenly there were many identical introductions, there were politicians and businessmen, the two swept through them one by one, and finally fixed on one person.
"Marella, a French explorer, was born in 1909 and explored the jungles of Southeast Asia and the ruins of West Asia."
At this time, Jiang Hao said: "Laura, I remember that in your house, your father's notes also have a record of the prophet, which says that there is a certain prophet's relics in Syria, and it is said that finding the prophet can make people have the power of eternal life. ”
Laura nodded vigorously, "I remembered, too." ”
"People of the two eras, Marella and your father have no intersection at all, but there are records of the Syrian prophet at the same time, which means that this relic is likely to exist, and what is marked in this map is probably the address of the prophet's tomb." Jiang Hao analyzed.
The two turned on the computer, called up the map of Syria, and compared it with the yellowed map, and finally let the two find a very similar location, and Laura gently pronounced the name: "Turkmen Mountains." ”
"Oh, now there is a war going on in Syria, and the Turkmen mountains are a war zone, and there is a certain danger." Laura said with a frown.
"I think we can end this treasure hunt in Germany and go back to check the information and see if it is possible to explore the site of this 'prophet' tomb." Jiang Hao said.
"What now?" Laura asked.
Jiang Hao smiled, "Now, of course, it's time to rest." ”
Two days later,
When the four-man team returns to London, Laura goes into her study and studies her father's books and notes, hoping to find more information about the Prophet in the literature and notes.
The two of them found Count Crawford's notes, and in the notebook containing the information of the 'Prophet', they saw a more detailed account of the Prophet by Count Crawford.
And it can be seen that the Count of Crawford is also very persistent in pursuing the mystery of eternal life, because at the end of the notebook, a paragraph of the Count of Crawford's exclamation is recorded.
"Life is like a merciless river, everything is fleeting, we grow old, we decline, we die, but what do we leave behind? A pile of skeletons? Or dust? What about the soul? Will the body remain in the world after it returns to dust? I'm sure it will. ”
"There is some truth at the heart of many myths and stories, and it is not a scientific truth, but something more esoteric, something that will solve the mystery of eternal life, and I may have found some clues, but I am not the only searcher.
They were following me and watching my every move, the people of the Holy Trinity, and although I had withdrawn, they had not given up spying on me, an ancient organization that was plotting to control the future of humanity. ”
Jiang Hao and Laura glanced at each other, this is already the figure of the 'Holy Trinity' that I don't know how many times, they are powerful, they seem to know everything.
Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said, "We must be cautious when probing the information of the 'Prophet', and we must not let anyone know about our actions. ”
"I know, I'll be careful." Laura said.
"Okay, you can find the information, I'll go back to the manor." Jiang Hao was going to go back and put the oil paintings piled up in the space into the underground treasure house, which took up too much space in the space.
"When I come back for dinner in the evening, I'll check the information first." Laura smiled sweetly at Jiang Hao.
In the communication between lovers, sometimes with a look and a movement, you can understand what the other party means, and Laura naturally wants Jiang Hao to accompany her here at night.
Back in his Jon Manor, Jiang Hao put all the oil paintings he got from the mine into the underground treasure house, and as for the gold, Jiang Hao directly absorbed it.
At this time, Jiang Hao was in the mood to slowly appreciate these oil paintings.
There are portraits and landscapes, impressionism and fauvism, all kinds of painters, some of these painters Jiang Hao knows, some do not know, if you want to find out the true value of these oil paintings, I am afraid that an appraiser needs to be specially appraised.
For now, let's put it in the pantry first.
If I have time, I may be able to let Charlotte Auction House have another oil painting sale.
Back at the villa, Steven came over and asked respectfully, "Sir, if you want to eat something in the evening, I will tell the chef to do it." ”
"No, I'll go to Crawford Castle for dinner in a moment." Jiang Hao said.
There is no way for his girlfriend to have money, the manor is much bigger than his side, Jiang Hao spends more time in Crawford Castle than in his own home, and Steven, the housekeeper, has become the housekeeper.
Coming to Crawford Manor and walking into the study, Laura looked up and saw that it was Jiang Hao and immediately shouted, "Jon, come here, I found something." ”
Jiang Hao went over and sat next to him, Laura picked up a thick book and put it in front of Jiang Hao, pointed to one of the paragraphs and said, "Look here, there is a legend about a prophet who entered Syria. ”
Jiang Hao looked carefully.
In 970 AD, the prophet Jacob came to Constantinople, the capital of the most powerful Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) at the time.
Before coming to Constantinople, Jacob was already famous, and it was rumored that he had god-like powers, and he traveled all the way to preach in search of his supporters and followers, and to give his own speeches in Constantinople.
Jacob's sermon was a success, gaining a large number of supporters, many of whom were nobles, which caused panic in the Orthodox Holy See, which began to spread the word that Jacob was a god and a liar, causing believers on both sides to fight with each other, and Jacob chose to leave and go to Syria.
At that time, Syria was also a Byzantine territory, but in the border area, but on the way, the Holy See sent a knight to assassinate Jacob, and the spear pierced Jacob's heart, but Jacob had the ability to live forever, and he was resurrected.
Jacob had immortality and healing powers, but he didn't know how to fight, so the believers wrapped his body and continued on to Syria, where they built the Prophet's Tomb in an attempt to hide it.
However, the news of Jacob's death was still known to the Holy See, who did not believe it at first, thinking that it was the self-consolation of the believers, but still sent the Knights to investigate again, and in Syria, the believers and the Knights fought a battle, and finally the power of faith was glorious and defeated the Holy See Knights.
This is the end of the record.
Jiang Hao looked up at Laura, "You mean, the prophet recorded by your father and the prophet recorded in this map should refer to this Jacob prophet?" ”
"I think so, because there is a striking resemblance to the time and events." Laura said.
Jiang Hao nodded.
The two took out the map again and studied it, and this time Laura found a more detailed map of Syria, and the two compared and analyzed it, and finally came up with a latitude and longitude coordinates, latitude 36.73, longitude: 37.01.
Syrian Turkmen Mountains.
