Chapter 1109 Discovery and Harvest

Binding, whipping, and beating are to help them exorcise demons, and the pain will make the demons leave their bodies.

As for those methods that are not known to outsiders, they are to warm them and let them return to the arms of the Lord.

This. Why does it need monks to do it? Any man can do it.

Anyway, this parchment notebook written by the monks records that the final success rate is not high. Many of them still cannot escape the stake in the end.

This parchment notebook also records that this church has two cellars, one of which is used to store the monks' daily necessities, food and other items. This cellar is next to where they live.

The other cellar is under the main building, where the tribute that needs to be handed over to the Pope every year is placed. The monk's status is too low to know what it is.

There are also the situations recorded on the last few pages of this parchment notebook, which should be the reason why this church is silent and dilapidated.

The last scribbled record on this parchment notebook was why this church fell into decline. At that time, English warships often intercepted some cargo ships at sea.

As a place mainly for punishment, their church was a place where the royal nobles and officers needed to be careful to flatter, so they would always send a copy of the good things they seized here.

This parchment notebook recorded that after the church received the gift from the royal family, everyone began to have diarrhea and vomiting, and no one could get up in just three days.

Because it was uncontrollable, the whole church seemed to have returned to the streets of London a few years ago.

Except for the bishop and the archbishop who took a carriage to London to ask for accountability and seek help, their lives were unknown.

The rest of these monks, including the sinners, died one after another.

Han Li saw that according to the date recorded above, they should have been infected with cholera.

This disease was completely incurable at the time, and the two bishops and archbishops would have died even if they ran to London.

Now so many years have passed, and the cholera virus that killed everyone here has long since died out naturally.

After Han Li put away the parchment notebook, he explored all the ruins of the rooms where the monks lived. Unfortunately, he only found some worthless horse sword silver coins, and no interesting records like this were found.

Next, Han Li came to the cellar used by ordinary monks and explored the interior of the cellar with his spiritual power. There were only piles of items that had rotted and weathered.

Finally, Han Li came to the ruins of the main building and found the cellar used to store gifts for the Pope. A mental scan made him very disappointed because there were really few things in it.

Moreover, the iron door of the cellar, which was buried under the rubble and almost lost its function, was relatively intact, indicating that no one had gotten there first.

This situation may be that the church had just offered gifts to the Pope, or that the two bishops and the archbishop took away some items when they were sick.

Of course, it is also possible that the bishop deliberately put this cellar in the open and advertised it, and the real treasure was hidden somewhere else.

Han Li got several folding fan bones made of metal inlaid with gems from the cellar. Originally, there should be fan blades on them, but after so many years, even if there were fan blades, they would have rotted and weathered away.

After the folding fan was introduced from Longguo to the Western Continent, it immediately became popular, especially in Victoria's England.

All the royal family members, including Queen Mary, Queen Victoria, and Queen Alexandra, have reached a very obsessive level for folding fans.

Royal family members and nobles not only use folding fans decorated with various treasures to set off their status and taste, but also folding fans have become their standard equipment for sending secret signals to lovers in public.

Among the royal family members, Queen Alexandra uses the most luxurious folding fans and has the most folding fans. It is said that she has a total collection of more than 400 folding fans made of different materials.

The craziest one is Queen Mary. She will mark each folding fan and has strict requirements on which folding fan to use on which occasion.

It is said that this habit of Queen Mary later evolved into a rule among the nobles.

In addition to the fan bones, Han Li only got some tableware here.

However, there are sets of silver tableware for the Eucharist, including goblets, plates, water containers, incense burners, reliquary boxes, crosses, religious ritual objects, etc.

There are also silver tableware used by the church's high-level officials when entertaining guests, including teapots, sugar bowls, cream pots, tea cans, urns, egg cups, wine pots, vases, large and small candlesticks, and two sets of knives, forks and spoons of different sizes.

These silver items have all appeared a thick layer of dark brown because no one has used them for many years.

Han Li selected one and wiped it and began to check it. Unfortunately, there is no pattern or mark about the nobility on this silver tableware.

Unless these silver tableware contain the works of a master, otherwise their inherent value becomes very low.

To put it bluntly, if there is nothing, their value is at best about the same as those Queen Victoria's version of horse sword silver coins.

The tableware of course included plates. Many of these porcelain plates were broken. Han Li didn't care about those that were not broken. He just put them into the decomposition space and considered it a done deal without even wiping them.

In terms of porcelain, the Dragon people are the ancestors of the whole world. Han Li believes that there is no good porcelain in England.

This is because Han Li lacks knowledge in this area. Although the porcelain in England is not as good as that in Dragon Country.

But they also have expensive porcelain here, especially those with a history, which are very expensive at auctions.

Next, Han Li used his mental strength to go around the church and the surrounding area, but found almost nothing valuable.

However, Han Li found a large mass grave far behind the church, where at least three or four hundred skeletons were buried.

The number of female skeletons accounted for more than 80%, and the remaining ones were male and some children's skeletons.

There is no need to describe how these skeletons came from. Han Li wanted to dig them out and take some photos before burying them, but when he was about to decompose them, he thought of something.

Some things will be more shocking when they are revealed in the Internet age, so Han Li finally gave up the current idea.

Then Han Li whistled and called the little brown horse from a distance.

Put on the reins, muzzle, belly band, saddle, and jump on the horse and gallop in the direction from which they came.

Han Li originally planned to follow Hai Dongqing to another abandoned place, but he thought that there were only a few days left before the "Miss Chinese" competition.

Han Li wanted to go back to see "Pretty Huang Rong" at this age, if there was a chance to get close to her.
