Sun Jian looked around the area where he found the jade box, but he couldn't find the key. Sun Jian ignored him and threw the jade box into the Mountain Sea Space.
He looked at the time and realized that it was almost four o'clock. Sun Jian planned to return to Hill Manor first.
Come back to Wash Bay tomorrow night.
Regardless of whether King John's treasure was real or not, he had to find it to know if it was real or not.
On the way back, Sun Jian's eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a huge black shadow that was crawling on the cliff of Wash Bay like a giant beast.
"This…This is Sylve Manor.”
Sun Jian recognized the black shadow as Sylve Manor, which he had visited during the day.
Looking at Sylve Manor's terrifying and strange eyes, Sun Jian touched his chin and thought,""That's strange. Why did King John build Sylve Manor on the edge of the cliff? Was he not afraid that the cliff would collapse one day?”
Sun Jian thought of the strange legend of Sylve Manor and suddenly became interested in exploring it alone.
Looking at the time, it was four o'clock. It was not too late. There were still three to four hours before Earl Hill woke up. There was still a long time to go and take a look.
Thinking of this, Sun Jian changed his direction and moved toward Sylve Manor.
"Um…that's…"
After Sun Jian went to Sylve Manor, he saw a huge space under the cliff of Wash Bay. It was as big as half a football field.
Sun Jian looked at the huge space and couldn't help but be shaken. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
In the space, there were piles of gold coins, gold items, and gold statues. They were piled up in piles, shining with golden light, almost filling half of the space. They were as tall as a person. In addition, there were many wooden boxes placed in the space. There were many skeletons piled around the wooden boxes. They were densely packed, and the white bones were dense. It made people's scalps go numb.
Sun Jian walked into the space and carefully examined the corpse.
From the distribution of the corpses, most of them were near a stone door, which should be the exit.
Most of the corpses in the space were wearing armor. Judging from the tattered armor on the corpses, these armors should be the typical White Crusade bucket armor of England in the 13th century.
Treasures…Soldiers…13th century…Sylve Manor…King John.
Looking at the space in front of him, Sun Jian roughly understood what was going on.
The treasure in front of him should be the legendary King John's treasure, and the corpses on the ground should be the soldiers responsible for escorting King John's treasure.
In the 13th century, King John discovered a secret underground space here. For some reason, he built Sylve Manor above this secret space.
King John could be said to be one of the most unsuccessful and unpopular kings in the history of the Ying country. His reign was a period of extreme weakness for the Kingdom of England.
King John was a warlike but defeated king. In the years of foreign wars, he lost almost all of England's territory on the European continent.
They lost most of the King of England's possessions on the European continent (most of which were located in western France), as well as the right to radiate to Iceland and Scots.
In order to maintain the war, King John stepped up the exploitation of the citizens and nobles. He increased the inheritance tax of the nobles by 100 times and the military service exemption tax by 16 times. At the same time, the prices of cattle, sheep, and wheat also doubled.
Gradually, John I became more and more unscrupulous. He kept levying new taxes and increasing taxes, which broke the unwritten but long-standing custom between the nobles and the king. In the spring of 1215, the angry nobles gathered and attacked the king.
In the end, under the pressure of the nobles, King John signed the famous " Magna Carta of Liberty " and lost a part of his power as king, causing the Norman royal family's feudalism to fail.
When the nobles attacked King John, John I was afraid that his treasures would be taken away by the nobles.
Just as he was thinking about how to hide the treasure, he suddenly thought of the underground space under Sylve's manor. It was a good place to hide the treasure, so he ordered the soldiers to transport his treasure here. In order to not let the location of his treasure be exposed, he killed all the soldiers who transported the treasure. Then, he released the news that his treasure had been lost in Wash Bay. It diverted the nobles 'attention.
"Greedy enough, vicious enough, cunning enough.”
Sun Jian commented to King John as he looked at the scene of the corpse and the gold interacting with each other.
Sun Jian walked up to the boxes and gently opened them. He found that they were filled with all kinds of gemstones and statues made of gemstones. They were extremely dazzling.
He counted the boxes in front of him and found that there were more than a hundred boxes. If the items in the box were similar to the one in front of him, then the value of this treasure was similar to the value of the San José he had found. Sun Jian didn't know how much it was worth, and he didn't have time to count it now. In any case, someone would help him count it in the future.
Looking at the space filled with treasures and corpses, it was another crazy treasure trove.
Sun Jian dusted off his hands and didn't keep the treasures into the Mountain Sea Space.
This was because the popularity he wanted now was to expose the treasure in front of him. Therefore, he planned to buy Sylve Manor.
As long as he bought Sylve Manor, the treasures would automatically belong to him. At that time, he would not be afraid of anyone.
Looking at the time, it was already past five o'clock. Without any hesitation, Sun Jian turned around and used the Earth Evasion to move quickly towards Hill Manor.
………………
At 8 am, Sun Jian 'woke up' on time. After washing up, he went to the living room of Hill Manor Castle.
He found that Earl Hill was already sitting there reading the newspaper and enjoying his breakfast.
"Good morning, Earl Hill. I didn't expect you to wake up so early.”Sun Jian greeted Earl Hill.
"Good morning, Jian. Did you sleep well last night?”Earl Hill put down the newspaper and greeted Sun Jian. After a pause, Earl Hill continued,""I wanted to sleep more, but I can't do it now. I'm old and my sleep is very light. I wake up very easily in the morning.”
"It's good to sleep early and get up early, Mr. Hill. You don't look old at all.”Sun Jian sat at the dining table and teased Earl Hill.
"Hahaha…Jian, you really know how to please the elderly!!!”Earl Hill laughed loudly.
Sun Jian smiled and said,"I'm just telling the truth."
After Sun Jian sat down, a maid quickly served breakfast.
(All kinds of requests!!!)
