Chapter 1109 Discovery and Harvest

The purpose of binding, whipping and beating them is to help them exorcise demons; the pain will allow the demons to leave their bodies.

As for those ways that are not known to outsiders, they are meant to warm them and bring them back to the arms of the Lord.

This... why would a monk be needed to take action? Any man can do it.

Anyway, this parchment notebook written by the monks recorded that the final success rate was not high, and many of them still could not escape the stake.

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

There is another cellar under the main building, which contains the tribute that needs to be submitted to the Pope every year. The monk's status is too low to know what exactly is in it.

The situations recorded on the last few pages of the parchment notebook should be the reasons why this church is quiet and dilapidated.

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

Their church is a place mainly for punishment, and it is an existence that royal nobles and military officers need to be careful to flatter. Therefore, when they seize good things, they always send a copy here.

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

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

Among them, except for the bishop and the archdeacon who took a carriage to London to demand accountability and seek help, no one knew whether they were alive or dead.

The remaining monks, including sinners, died one after another.

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

This disease was incurable at the time, and the two bishops and archdeacon would have died even if they had fled to London.

So many years have passed now, and the cholera virus that killed all the people here has long since died out naturally.

After Han Li put away the parchment notebook, he explored the ruins of the row of rooms where the monks lived. Unfortunately, he only found some worthless horse swords and silver coins, and never found any interesting records like this one.

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

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

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

This may be because the church had just presented gifts to the Pope, or because the two bishops and archdeacon took some of the items with them when they passed away due to illness.

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

Han Li obtained several folding fan bones made of metal inlaid with gems from this cellar. Originally, there should have been fan blades on them, but so many years have passed, and even if there were fan blades, they have rotted and weathered away.

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

All the royal family members, including Queen Mary, Queen Victoria, and Queen Alexandra, have become obsessed with 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 used the most luxurious folding fans and had the largest collection of folding fans. It is said that she collected more than 400 folding fans made of different materials.

The craziest one was Queen Mary. She would mark every folding fan and had strict requirements on which folding fan to use in what occasion.

It is said that Queen Mary's habit later evolved into a rule among the nobility.

Apart from those fan bones, Han Li also collected some tableware here.

However, there is a set of silver tableware for the Eucharist ceremony, which includes wine glasses, plates, water containers, incense burners, reliquary boxes, crosses, religious ritual objects, etc.

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

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

Han Li selected one, wiped it and began to inspect it. Unfortunately, there was no pattern or mark of nobility on the silver tableware.

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

To put it bluntly, if there is nothing else, their value is at best about the same as those Queen Victoria version of the horse and 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.

When it comes to porcelain, the Dragon people are the ancestors of the whole world. Han Li believes that there is no good porcelain to be found in England.

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

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

Next, Han Li used his mental strength to go around the church and its vicinity, but found almost nothing of value.

However, Han Li discovered a large mass grave far behind the church, which contained at least three or four hundred skeletons.

More than 80 percent of these skeletons are female, and the rest include male and some children's skeletons.

There is no need to describe in detail how these skeletons came about. Han Li initially intended to dig them out, take some photos, and then bury them back. However, when he was about to decompose them, he thought of one thing.

Some things would be more shocking if revealed in the Internet age, so Han Li finally gave up this idea.

Next, Han Li whistled and called the little brown horse over from a distance.

He put on the reins, muzzle, girth and saddle, then mounted the horse and galloped away in the direction he came from.

Han Li originally planned to follow Hai Dongqing to another abandoned location, but he thought that the "Miss Chinese" competition was only a few days away.

Han Li wanted to go back and see the "Pretty Huang Rong" at this age, if there was a chance to have sex with her.
