Soon, Earl Bogé called a few gardeners, took the horses in the stables, and temporarily put the big guys on the grass behind the castle, allowing them to gallop freely.
When being led away from the stable, the black steed still rubbed Ye Tian's arm reluctantly, and even bit his shirt with his teeth, seemingly reluctant to leave, but was eventually led away.
In this tender scene, everyone else in the stables looked straight, and everyone was amazed.
In particular, Earl Boge was envious and even jealous, and his eyes were red!
That is his favorite thoroughbred horse. He has devoted a lot of effort and time to that thoroughbred horse, but has that thoroughbred ever been so affectionate to him? Always an arrogant posture!
Facing Ye Tian, the always arrogant thoroughbred horse put down his figure and behaved so affectionately, even if they only just met, can it not make people jealous and crazy?
But this is just a small episode, and everyone's focus is not on this.
The focus of everyone's attention here is the metal objects hidden deep underground. Are they treasures or something else? The answer will be revealed soon!
Derek and Tommy, who were waiting for the gardener of the Argeny Castle to take the horses, left the stables and went to the convoy to fetch digging tools, also returned to the stables.
They brought back two engineering shovels, crowbars and other tools, as well as a hand-held electric drill to break through concrete floors and rocks that may be encountered during excavation.
But this possibility is very small. Since there are a lot of metal objects buried here, it is basically impossible for a large rock to block the way, otherwise it will be difficult to bury those metal objects deep underground.
In a blink of an eye, everything is ready for excavation work.
There are four people who perform this work, two gardeners from the Argeny Castle, and Derek and Tommy.
"Guys, let's get to work. Dig down along the designated area. The four of you will be divided into two groups. You will alternate when you are tired. Try to dig as fast as possible to those buried deep underground."
Ye Tian said with a smile and issued an action order.
When the voice fell, Derek immediately said:
"Okay, Steven, let's do it first"
As he said, he picked up the electric drill, and Tommy picked up the crowbar, ready to break the ground.
The next moment, the sound of the motor rotating at high speed rang out from this empty stable, followed by a sudden loud noise, which was the sound of a drill hitting the concrete floor.
The cement layer on the floor of the stables is not too thick, only less than ten centimeters. Its function is mainly to prevent moisture and facilitate cleaning. Breaking the ground with an electric drill is naturally not as troublesome as demolition.
In a blink of an eye, there have been a few more holes on the ground, just along the area delineated by Ye Tian, and there are many cracks around each hole.
When Derek took the electric drill and turned to the other side, Tommy immediately walked forward with a crowbar, inserted one end of the crowbar into the holes just drilled, and started prying the cement on the ground!
Soon, more than an hour passed.
Jason and the others, who were exploring with a pulsed metal detector, had thoroughly probed the inside of the Arzhny Castle, and did not miss any corner.
During the exploration process, they discovered several places where metal objects were buried. They were located at different locations and had different depths of burial. The detected signals were strong or weak.
Whenever such a place is found, the corresponding detection team will notify Ye Tian and ask him to check the situation.
After arriving at the detection site, Ye Tian will learn about the specific detection data, analyze the specific meaning of those data, and then carefully observe the ground conditions.
However, instead of asking his employees to dig immediately, he marked the locations where the treasure might be buried and prepared to explore and dig them later.
The work must be done step by step, and time is available, so there is no need to rush.
In fact, Ye Tian knew better than anyone about the specific conditions and what was buried deep underground in the places where the metal objects were buried, so there was no need to worry.
After exploring the interior of the castle, Jason and the others took a short rest, then began to act again, and expanded the scope of exploration to the outside of Arzhny Castle.
As several detection teams walked out of the castle one after another, their ongoing exploration operations naturally could not hide those guys who gathered outside the castle and were blocked by the Lyon police from the first line of defense.
Seeing the situation on the other side of the castle, the guys who were stopped in the distance immediately started talking.
"Sure enough, the joint exploration team has already launched an action, but they don't know what they found? Have they found the treasure of the Knights Templar?"
"Judging from the current situation, the guys Steven should have not found the treasure yet, otherwise they wouldn't have sent so many people to explore around the castle. Isn't that unnecessary!"
While there was a lot of discussion, these guys were also relieved a lot, not as anxious as before, and eagerly wanted to know the situation inside the Arzhny Castle.
But how do they know what is going on in the castle of Arzhny.
After more than an hour of excavation, there was a huge pit that was two meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and three meters deep in the stables behind the castle, and the pit became bigger and bigger as it went down, in the shape of a funnel.
The large amount of dirt and stones dug from this big pit has filled the four stables on the edge of the big pit, just like four hills.
Because Arzhny Castle is located at the top of a hill, the location is relatively high. Although the large pit in the stables is as deep as three meters, there is no groundwater seepage and it is relatively dry.
This situation is of course conducive to excavation operations, and there is no need to use a pump to pump water while digging.
At this moment, Derek and Tommy were sweating and digging at the bottom of the pit, continuing to move deeper underground.
The two Arzhny Castle gardeners standing on the edge of the big pit kept hoisting up iron buckets filled with dirt and stones, and then poured them into the stables next to them.
As for Ye Tian and the others, as well as the French guys, they stood a little farther away, watching the ongoing excavation work, talking, laughing and chatting.
"boom"
A strange noise suddenly came from the bottom of the big pit, which was completely different from the previous sound.
Following this strange noise, Derek's excited voice also came from the pit.
"Steven, we dug it up. It's a metal box!"
"Thank God, the hard work was not in vain! If you can't dig any more, you guys will collapse!"
Tommy said immediately, his voice was equally excited, and also a bit of liberation.
Hearing the sound from the bottom of the pit ahead, Ye Tian and the others standing outside the pit, as well as the French guys, all walked forward in unison. Everyone's excited eyes shone straight.
In a blink of an eye, everyone has come to the edge of the big pit.
Anxiously, Earl Boge, who was walking in the front, even almost fell into this three-meter-deep pit. Fortunately, he was grabbed by Ye Tian, who was following, so that he could avoid being thrown into disarray. result.
Before getting a firm foothold, everyone has looked towards the bottom of the pit, and everyone is curious.
Derek and Tommy at the bottom of the pit had already shoveled away the soil on the top of the first box they found, revealing the box that had been buried deep underground for many years.
"Wow! There are things buried deep underground. It's really painful! I don't know what treasure is hidden in this box? It's so exciting!"
There was cheers on the scene, and everyone was overjoyed.
Although I only saw the top of a box and didn't know what was in the box, this discovery was enough to excite everyone, especially those who participated in the treasure hunt for the first time!
When the cheers fell slightly, Ye Tian immediately said loudly:
"Derek, Tommy, clean up the dirt around this box, and then tie the rope. We lift it up from the bottom of the pit. We must be careful during the cleaning process and never bump the box.
These boxes may be antique cultural relics, have been buried in the ground for many years, and may be fragile. Once the engineer shovel is knocked up, it is very likely that a hole will be knocked out, causing irreparable damage.
According to the signal detected by the pulse metal detector, there are 100% other metal objects around this box and deeper below it. It is likely that it is also a metal box similar to this one. Find them! "
"No problem, Steven, don't worry, leave these things to us!"
Standing at the bottom of the pit, Derek and Tommy replied in unison. Both guys were very angry, as if they were resurrected instantly full of blood.
After speaking, the two guys began to clean the top of the box at the bottom of the pit and the surrounding soil, while Ye Tian and the others stood on the edge of the big pit and watched condescendingly.
Soon, more than twenty minutes passed.
At this moment, Ye Tian and the others had already had five more muddy, rusty, and huge metal boxes, lined up in the central passage of the stables.
This treasure, which has been buried deep underground for an unknown number of years, consists of five boxes, each of which is extremely heavy, and it is obviously full of things.
Although these rusty boxes have been picked up and all hung up and placed in front of everyone, Ye Tian did not open these boxes immediately, but continued to wait.
What he was waiting for was Derek and Tommy who were still at the bottom of the pit.
Those two guys were the first to discover this treasure, and they must be present when the veil of this treasure is unveiled.
When this joint exploration operation ends they will also receive a special reward to reward their work.
Under the reward, there must be a brave man! Ye Tian always believed in this!
If not, why do these foreigners with the highest interests give you their lives?
After taking out these five boxes, Ye Tian put the pulse metal detector into the bottom of the pit again, and asked Derek and the others to explore the bottom of the pit, so as not to miss any treasures!
The answer came out quickly, and Derek's voice came from the bottom of the pit.
"Steven, the bottom of the pit has been cleaned up, and the metal detector cannot detect any signal!"
"Okay, you can come up. Let's open these five rusty boxes together and see what is in these boxes!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and threw the safety rope into the bottom of the pit again.
Following his remarks, everyone on the scene looked at the five rusty boxes, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot!
