Chapter 373: Calling for air support

When the secret door was opened, the expected secret data room did not appear.

What came into view was just an empty small room with nothing in it.

It cannot be said that there was nothing, there were still some things.

For example, there was a thick layer of dust on the ground.

Just looking at its thickness and flatness, it was known that this secret door had not been opened for a long time.

Now it was suddenly opened, and some dust was raised in the rolling airflow, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of corruption.

Oh! By the way, there was a pair of shackles with iron chains nailed to the wall opposite.

Looking at the rusty spots, I don’t know what they were used for.

Maybe this was once a place to hold prisoners, but now it has been abandoned. Volibear thought so.

Since there was nothing to find here, Volibear wanted to leave, so he said to Catherine: "Let's go! There is nothing we want here."

After that, he was about to take Catherine away.

But Catherine held Volibear's hand, staring at the wall with shackles, with a thoughtful expression.

"Wait! There seems to be something. I'll go check it out."

Just as Catherine was about to go in, Volibear said, "Wait!"

"What's wrong? Is there danger inside?" Catherine asked.

"No!" Volibear shook his head and looked at the door: "I heard footsteps. Someone should be coming in.

The man who just knocked out needs to be dealt with, otherwise he will be discovered."

At this time, he turned his head to look at the secret room and smiled slightly: "Just put him in the secret room."

As he said, Volibear picked up the man on the ground, threw him into the secret room, and then asked Catherine to go in and hide for a while.

He stayed outside to restore the mechanism of the secret door.

As the secret door slowly closed, Catherine fell into darkness.

However, she did not feel scared because she knew Volibear was outside.

She carefully stretched out her hand and groped forward to the wall with shackles.

When her fingers touched the cold wall, she gently stroked the wall.

After a while, I felt all kinds of dents on my fingers.

Catherine thought to herself, as expected.

It turned out that when she was at the door just now, she noticed some messy scratches on the wall.

As she touched it, Catherine became more and more sure that her guess was correct.

These seemingly messy scratches are actually Hebrew characters.

Hebrew is a kind of ancient writing. Because so much time has passed, there are not many documents left.

There are not many people who can understand this kind of writing, let alone writing.

But someone actually left a message in Hebrew.

It is obvious that a very knowledgeable person has been here. In addition to these shackles, it can be concluded that the person was imprisoned here.

And he used Hebrew, obviously not wanting to be discovered by the enemy.

Catherine roughly knew what happened here, so she began to carefully interpret the messy scratches on the wall.

After an unknown amount of time, when Volibear opened the secret door again, he found Catherine squatting by the wall with red eyes and a pursed mouth, as if she had suffered great injustice.

Volibear thought that Catherine felt wronged because she had been locked up for too long, so he quickly explained: "The man just stayed for a long time, and you were wronged.

You see, as soon as he left, I immediately..."

"It's none of your business!" Catherine interrupted Volibear before he finished speaking: "There was a man named Simmons imprisoned here. He was very knowledgeable.

Not only did he know Hebrew, but he also knew ancient Hieroglyphics.

I admire him very much, but unfortunately he has been killed here.

And he was starved to death."

"Uh..." Volibear was speechless.

He looked at the wall behind Catherine. There were indeed some scratches there, but...

Volibear also knew some Hebrew, but those scratches didn't look like Hebrew at all.

Instead, they looked like they were scratched by someone struggling when he was tortured.

There is information left on these messy scratches?

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is Hebrew or not.

The key is that you don't know him, why are you sad for him?

Volibear couldn't understand Catherine's feelings for a while.

However, he immediately thought of the [Dance of Death] in the North.

When he felt the other party's aggressiveness in military force, he unconsciously felt a hero cherishing a hero.

Maybe Catherine is the same at this moment!

Thinking of this, Volibear comforted: "Maybe you will meet someone else in the future, and you should cherish him when you meet him, right?"

Catherine nodded vigorously.

Volibear smiled slightly: "Then let's leave here first."

...

After leaving the Iris Society, Catherine did not dress up as Matthews, but changed into the original bearded man.

Because Matthews' identity has been exposed, it may be a problem to use him again.

However, this also means that the mission has failed.

Catherine was sitting in a rented carriage, holding her head in her hands, not knowing what to do.

Volibear guessed that Catherine might be like this because she had not completed the task, so he suggested: "Since we can't find the information on making banknotes, let's go directly to their mint.

Then you transform into one of them and sneak in, and then trick the person in charge of the factory out.

We could just arrest him and ask him directly where the information is. "

"Didn't the master say to be silent?" Catherine objected: "If we use this method, the Iris Society will definitely know that someone is stealing their coin-making technology.

And if the commotion can be so loud, why do you need me to do it!

The master came directly by himself, caught a few high-level officials at random, and tortured them, and he was able to find out the coin-making technology no matter what.

Why should we go to such trouble?

Remember, we need to be quiet.

Even if we take action, at least we can't let the Iris Society know our true purpose.

However, you said it would be a good idea to find their coin factory.

Maybe the materials for the coin-making process are in the factory. "

The more Catherine thought about it, the more she realized this. It was obviously very reasonable to put the process materials in the factory.

"How can we find the coinage factory?" Catherine murmured to herself.

"It's very simple! Let the eagle find it!" Volibear suggested: "The mint must be next to the paper mill. We only need to let the eagle fly a few more times to roughly confirm the location."

Catherine nodded: "It makes sense! However, there is another question here. Does the mint have to be in the ports of Marseille?

It is entirely possible that it could be built somewhere else along with the paper mill. "

"Wouldn't you know if you look for it?" Volibear replied: "This is the headquarters of the Iris Society after all. It is most appropriate to build such an important facility right under your nose.

Obviously the probability is greatest here.

Even if it's not, it's just a waste of time, and we have plenty of time.

If we don't find it, we will think of other solutions at that time. "

Catherine nodded, her eyes flashed blue and she called for air support.

The three extraordinary eagles who were playing on the roof of the Bertner Manor suddenly had a look in their eyes at the moment Catherine's eyes glowed blue,

Then he flapped his wings fiercely and flew high, speeding towards the Marseille ports.

"I've already called Eagle over. It may take some time. Let's take this opportunity to do something else. Hehe!"

As soon as he heard "hehe", Volibear knew what Catherine was going to do.

Although he felt that this was not good, he did not stop it this time.

However, things were a little beyond his expectation...
