Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After the time entered April, Liang En and the others went straight to a small town in the Cochrane District of Ontario, Canada, where the crucial Bible was found.

It feels like the temperature here is much warmer than expected. Looking at the lush scenery outside the car window, Joan of Arc glanced at the thermometer inside the car and said, It can actually reach 9 degrees Celsius above zero.

This is normal. In fact, even further north in the Arctic Circle, the summer is above zero, and the ice and snow will melt. Compared with the summer over there, the average temperature is just a little lower. But the winter in this place is often cold. It’s fatal.”

Liang En looked through the information in his hand and said to Joan who was driving. Ever since she got her driver's license, Joan suddenly became interested in driving. Whenever she had the chance, she would find a way to touch the steering wheel, and this time was no exception.

After making all preparations, Liang En asked Fan Meng to go to Ottawa alone to meet up with the temporarily mobilized White Knights to sort out the equipment and be on standby, while he and Joan of Arc flew to this small town to investigate clues.

He came to this town this time to find clues about the Bible, because he hoped to figure out how the book got here.

Because according to the information they searched before, the team should have disappeared in the Yukon Territory in northwest Canada, but their current location is in eastern Canada.

The fact that a book actually traveled thousands of kilometers from the westernmost part of Canada is questionable, so after starting the action, Liang En immediately came to the place where the book was found to see where the book came from.

This is a very small town, and most of the people in the town are Canadian aborigines. However, compared with the aboriginal people we met during the last search for the sunken ship, the overall condition of the aboriginal people here is much better.

The main reason for this situation is that there is nothing in this area except a small amount of agriculture and plantation. There is no gold, no oil, and no valuable minerals.

Although this gives the indigenous people in this area little opportunity to make a lot of money, it also avoids becoming the target of Canadian plunder, so they are much happier than the group of indigenous people in the Arctic.

Sorry, none of us remember where this book came from. After seeing Liang En showing the book in his hand, the aboriginal librarian who looked to be in his forties shook his head helplessly.

As I said before when I sold this book to you, the records only say that this book was donated in 1959 among a large number of books donated by the church.

According to the librarian, their small library here was donated by the Toronto Church, and this Bible was just one of a large number of books donated at that time.

Can I read these books? Liang En asked after listening to the administrator's introduction.

Of course, please do.

In the next hour or so, Liang En flipped through the books that were donated here in the same batch as the Bible. Because of the time, only less than 1/10 of the original books were left, and most of them had Severe damage.

After checking all these books, Liang En found that the contents of these books can be said to be diverse, ranging from popular novels, poetry collections to reference books, which perfectly meet the requirements for charitable donations.

By examining these books, especially the notes inside them, Liang En basically determined that these books came from around Toronto, and through the seals on them, he determined which church these books were collected by.

Okay, thank you for your help. After hearing what the other party said, Liang En nodded slightly to express his thanks, then put two hundred dollars into the donation box at the door of the library and left.

Looking at your expression, there should be nothing to gain from this place. When Liang En opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, Jeanne looked at his expression and said.

As we suspected before coming here, there is indeed nothing to gain from this place. Liang En said, buckling his seat belt. The real clues can be found by going to the church.

After returning the borrowed car to the rental company, they took a plane to Toronto again. Because of the sparse population and poor infrastructure in this area, taking a small commuter airliner has become the most common way to travel in the area.

After leaving the airport, Liang En and the others immediately went straight to the Cathedral of St. Michael's Basilica, because during the previous inspection, Liang En discovered that the donation was organized by this church.

According to the information Liang En found previously, this donation was also part of the assimilation plan for the indigenous people at that time, so there were very detailed records of the source of the books and so on.

It is not a simple matter to check the church's information and archives, because these things are not public content and are theoretically prohibited from being inquired by outsiders.

However, because Liang En and the others had returned sacred objects in France before, after communicating with the church in France, they successfully entered the church's archives with the guarantee of several French clergy.

Look for the donation activities made by the church between June and August 1959. After entering the archives, Liang En quickly greeted Joan and began to search for information.

All the information in the archives was arranged in chronological order, so they quickly found the file bag they were looking for from the shelf and took out the yellowed files inside and looked at them one by one.

Found it, here! Seven or eight minutes later, Jeanne stood on tiptoe and took out a document from the shelf, looked at it, and whispered to Liang En, who was not far away.

The donation to the Indian area on July 17, 1959, included 1,000 Canadian dollars and 370 books. Unfortunately, there was no list of the books. It was only mentioned that the books had been reviewed and determined to be ethical.

It must be ethical. After all, this is a donation event organized by the church. We can't produce a bunch of messy books. Liang En said, taking the document and starting to read it word by word carefully.

Soon, he discovered that the most important piece of information was marked at the end of the file: some of these books came from donations from believers, and some came from the storage of the church itself.

All the Bibles come from the church's storage. Joan of Arc, who came over at this time, looked at a line of text in the document and said, In other words, the Bible with the notes on it came from the original storage of the church?

Yes, that means the book entered this church between 1923 and 1959. Liang En frowned as he looked at the file in front of him. This period of time is really too long, and it is really difficult to find this part of the clues.

But it's not hopeless. Joan of Arc comforted, At least for these churches, if they have a Bible, they will habitually record it.

Wait, I seem to have thought of something. Liang En walked out of the archives at this time, then took out his previous Bible and quickly flipped through it. Sure enough, he found the words Saint John XXIII at the back.

Sure enough, the other party should have left this book to leave some information. Liang En said with a sigh. I have found the key to this secret, at least part of it.
