Chapter 129 Breaking down doors and demolishing houses for transportation (Happy New Year!)
As expected, after prying open the hollow stone bricks, a dark corridor was exposed inside.
"You are relatively thin, go inside and see what's going on." Barty Crouch ordered.
Under Barty Crouch's order, two relatively thin men immediately packed up their things and went in with two burning torches.
At this time, all the defense forces in the temple have been cleared. In addition, no one comes to this building usually, so there is no need to worry about the torches being exposed.
What's more, burning torches can also make the situation in the corridor more certain. If oxygen is scarce, the torch will stop burning and give the two people an early warning.
After waiting for a while, the two people who had gone down climbed up, wiped their sweat and said, "Director, there is a complete corridor below. One side leads to the back of the statue, and the other side is deeper. The secret room. The door to the secret room is made of huge rocks, estimated to be dozens of centimeters thick."
Barty Crouch nodded calmly. Even when he heard the solid boulder door, he didn't panic at all.
"Get ready to blast. Since civilized means can't open those stone doors, we can only use violent means." Barty Crouch said with a smile.
One of the required courses for intelligence officers is the production of explosives. Because of this mission, Barty Crouch deliberately brought a lot of explosives in advance, just in case.
Continue to enlarge the hole opened to facilitate the entry of more people and explosives.
After walking along the long corridor for a while, Barty Crouch and his party finally saw the stone door of the secret room clearly.
After touching the material of the stone door, Barty Crouch took out a hand drill. Several people quickly drilled several holes of different depths in space and time, and then placed small explosives in these holes.
In order to ensure their own safety, these explosives are all delayed explosives, and the explosion time is a full three minutes.
This time is enough time for everyone to evacuate from the cave entrance to prevent themselves from being buried by the waves caused by the explosion.
Boom boom!
With a few muffled sounds, the ground began to vibrate slightly, and then calmed down again.
After waiting for a while to make sure there was no movement, Barty Crouch led everyone back into the corridor.
When we arrived at the door of the secret room, the stone door had been exploded into many pieces, which was much easier to solve than the intact stone door.
After everyone had moved all the broken stones, a dark secret room appeared in front of everyone.
"Director, what are you waiting for? There must be a lot of accumulated treasures here. If we give these treasures to His Highness, we should all get medals, right?" a subordinate said impatiently.
They don't care how much treasure there is in the secret room, and they also know that they cannot pry into it.
But if these treasures are successfully handed over to Arthur, does it mean that they can get a medal?
"Why are you so anxious? Have you forgotten everything you learned before?" Barty Crouch scolded, and then threw the torch in his men's hands.
The burning torch was instantly extinguished, like a bucket of cold water, dousing everyone's cheering mood.
"This secret room is completely sealed, and there is currently a lack of oxygen in it. Keep an eye on it, and we will go in after a while." Barty Crouch nodded and gave the order.
【

This temple has a history of hundreds of years. Who knows what it can store?
Barty Crouch, a wealthy man from an ancient Indian state, could not imagine that the prosperity of the British Empire was largely supported by India.
After waiting for almost half an hour, no matter how much torches were thrown in, they would not go out, so everyone entered one after another.
Lifting the torch, everyone's jaw dropped at the magnificent scene in the secret room. Even the well-informed Barty Crouch was a little surprised at this time.
Gold coins, jewelry, and tableware made of gold are piled up in piles, and another pile is a large number of brightly colored gems.
Among the two piles of treasures, the most eye-catching one is a small golden elephant that is as tall as a person. Some people even tried to lift it, but could not lift it at all.
Around the secret room, a large number of wooden boxes were piled up. Although they were covered with dust, they seemed unable to block the golden light leaking from the treasures inside.
"Oh, my God, how many medals does this have?" Everyone already had three medals in mind, and they had even started planning to show off to the people around them after getting the medals.
"Hurry up and get everyone in and move all these things out. Also, don't think about it anymore. As a qualified intelligence officer, it's best not to disclose the various merit medals you have received at will, let alone you haven't received them yet. !" Barty Crouch interrupted everyone's fantasy and ordered.
Everyone took action to transport the treasures outside the cave entrance, and then transferred them to the carriage from the cave entrance.
In order to facilitate the transportation of these treasures, I can only say sorry to everyone in the temple.
Under Barty Crouch's order, everyone turned their swords on all the monks in the temple and asked them to see their dear Buddha.
Even in order to facilitate the transportation of these gold beads, people demolished the temple gates and various buildings, just to find materials that can be easily transported.
The corridor is connected to six secret rooms. Although the number of treasures in the six secret rooms is different, the total number is definitely a huge number.
Even though more than a hundred able-bodied intelligence officers were used, this large-scale relocation operation lasted from night to dawn.
In fact, not all the treasures in the temple were transported. There are also some silver utensils and accessories that are simply discarded by everyone because they take up more space and are of low value.
But discarding is also a skill. The crowd threw all the silver and utensils near the temple, which was enough to cause looting and fighting among the people around.
No matter what, at least it can create chaos here and delay the attention of the British Empire.
By the time the local princes and the British really noticed the temple, Barty Crouch had already left India on a transport ship.
No one dared to count the treasures on the road. They could only speed up the transportation, arrive in Australia, and find a safe place.
Several fleets disguised as Australian transport fleets picked up these carriages and intelligence personnel in batches, and just like when they arrived, they first detoured to other surrounding regions and countries before turning around and heading to Australia.
The entire operation and transportation work took a lot of effort. Starting from September 3rd, it was not until September 20th that the fleet arrived at the Sydney port in a mighty manner.
Second update, please support! I wish you all a Happy New Year!
