Marvel’s Princess Chapter 346: The last clue
Ben Gates was stunned for a few seconds. He has been tracking down this so-called Knights Templar since he was very young. At that time, his grandfather actually made him a knight. It can be said that he was right. I have a favorable impression of the knights I imagined.
But once the knights came before him and came into reality, his perception was different.
Ye Gong's love for dragons does not distinguish between East and West. Many devout believers have been praising God all their lives, but if God really comes to earth, they cannot accept it!
Ben Gates expressed doubts about the true identity of the agent in front of him.
He refused to talk to the FBI agent and insisted that his lawyer be present before he could talk about what happened next.
The FBI agent saw that he was uncooperative and didn't mind, so he sneered and left.
In the next two days, the Ben Gates incident began to arouse heated discussion in the society. It is estimated that many Americans have not read the Declaration of Independence carefully. What is specifically written is not a special study of American history. No one knows.
But! The symbolic significance of this thing is huge. The White House, major news media, experts and professors all expressed their opinions immediately.
Ben Gates has not been tried, so legally speaking, he is now innocent. Reporters from all walks of life gathered in Washington to interview him.
He was also clever, disguising himself as a fanatical scholar and insisting on claiming his innocence.
He kept saying that the National Archives' protection of national treasures was not adequate, and the National Archives would definitely not take the blame. He asked the other party, how could a scholar with no ability like him steal a national treasure? Is it tightly managed?
The United States is a country that values scientists and scholars very much. Ben Gates has no criminal record and has some reputation in academia. In addition, he surrendered and did not cause irreparable damage to the Declaration of Independence. The police in Washington, DC He was asked to post bail pending a court hearing and asked not to leave Washington, then released him home.
Ben Gates temporarily regained his freedom, but the fact that there was no clue behind the Declaration of Independence severely damaged his self-confidence, and he was a little decadent when he returned home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw the old FBI agent who claimed to be from the Knights Templar.
"Please go out, I'm not in a good mood."
The FBI agent was unmoved: "Dr. Gates, do you think the Knights Templar care about that treasure? Will the Knights Templar, composed of many big nobles and big capitalists, be short of money? Only those of the Assassin Brotherhood Only poor people care about this kind of thing."
Ben Gates saw the name of the Brotherhood when he was researching many ancient books, but he didn't know if this organization is still alive today.
The FBI agent seemed to have everything under control: "The Brotherhood was severely damaged by the Knights three years ago. We heard that they just elected a new mentor recently. It's really pitiful. It was once an ancient organization alongside the Knights. , now it has become so miserable.”
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because we suspect that you have met the new mentor of the fraternity, is he this person? Can you tell me his name?" He threw a stack of photos on the table.
The photo is very blurry, but it can be seen that it is Ben Gates talking to a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man has his back to the camera, and only his back can be seen.
Although it was just a back view, Ben Gates could tell at a glance that this was the wealthy British businessman ‘Ian’ who funded his search for the Charlotte.
It turns out that Ben Gates is quite a friend. 006 funded him to search for the Charlotte for free. Even if the relationship later became tense, it was far from the point where he drew a gun against him in the original time and space. Plus, he He believed that he had stolen the Declaration of Independence, causing 006 to throw away more than 30 million US dollars. In the end, he got nothing. He felt huge guilt in his heart.
At this time, he denied it: "I haven't seen it before, I don't know it."
The FBI agent smiled, smiling like a villain. Before Ben Gates could speak, two burly men held his arms on the left and right.
"You are breaking the law..." Before Ben Gates could finish his words, the strong man on the right injected a medicine into his neck, and he fainted quickly.
Before he was completely unconscious, he heard the FBI agent saying to the strong man: "Take him away and tell Abstergo that this is the new Experimental Subject No. 17. His bloodline is very interesting. Maybe Can help the Knights master powerful magic..."
Magic? Ben Gates' consciousness quickly blurred, and soon he knew nothing.
......
Bella and the others waited for two days in New York. Sean Hastings returned from Philadelphia successfully. He deciphered the clues contained in the hidden text on the back of the Declaration of Independence and found it in the brick wall in the shadow below the Liberty Bell tower. A very cleverly designed pair of glasses.
This thing has three layers of lenses and functions a bit like the 3D glasses in a movie theater.
Bella was wearing her glasses, adjusting the lenses to look at the back of the Declaration of Independence.
The final clue hidden in the back appears.
"Here at the wall? Under the Buckington Trail?" She read the information she saw softly twice.
Then give the glasses to Sean and 006 and let them each take a look.
"What does the wall refer to? Is it the city wall originally built by the Dutch colonists?"
"No! It should refer to Wall Street! Wall Street was originally a city wall!"
"DeHeere is Dutch, referring to street. It should be the name of a street, Broadway! The instructor's previous inference was correct. In any case, these treasures must be in New York!"
Several analysts in the brotherhood are expounding their opinions. 006 is like a fool. He looks at this person and then that person. He feels that everyone's opinions are reasonable.
Bella ignored these arguments. For her, when all the existing conditions were met, there was no need for her to think about it.
Facing a completely unfamiliar world, the conclusions drawn by divination will be very different from the actual situation. Divination is actually an interpretation of the existing world. If you don’t understand it at all, you will naturally not be able to interpret anything. .
On the contrary, when all conditions are met, the accuracy of divination will be astonishingly high.
It doesn't matter if there is magic to prevent detection. She has found the last clue, and now she just takes the final step with the help of magic.
She sat on the chair, surrounded by a layer of fine and obscure psychic energy. The members of the Brotherhood quickly became quiet. They knew that the new mentor was using some occult method to make the final determination.
006, Sean and others watched patiently, and soon they saw a clue. A blood-red cross mark vaguely appeared in the air.
"The blood-red cross is the symbol of the Knights Templar..." Sean explained to 006 in a low voice.
