From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 373 Extraordinary Temptation? Making Money! (Bonus Chapter 48 for Monthly Tickets)

Originally, according to Margaret's idea, even if this matter was urgent, she should have had time to complete an investigation into it.

At the very least, she needed to find the connection between the ship and the historically famous "Blackbeard," but unfortunately, she didn't have the time.

On her seventh day in Houston, a group of people broke into the research institute, calling themselves members of the 'Special Affairs Administration,' and arrested three of the six professors.

The remaining three followed Professor Thomas to the White House.

Margaret asked Thomas curiously what had happened, but he only said one sentence:

"What else could it be? It's been exposed! Someone leaked it, and now all the major powers in the world know about it, and..."

Thomas shook his head, holding a document he had obtained from the research institute. "Let's go to the White House and talk about it. It's hard to say now!"

So, this group of people once again boarded the president's private plane and flew to Washington, D.C., to meet the blond-haired man.

It was still that same conference room, and still there were President Trump, Barron, Vice President Chien, Secretary of State Luo, and others, looking at these historians.

It was Qian Si who spoke first, "Someone has leaked state secrets. According to the latest War Department decree, they are now guarding Alaska!"

Let this group of elderly people, whose average age is over fifty-five, guard the land in the Arctic Circle? Everyone knew what he was trying to say, so no one said anything unnecessary.

Since this group of people betrayed the country, they should have been prepared for this.

"Alright, Qian Si, there's no need to talk about these things. Let's talk about what happened today!" The blond man's words made the people who were still thinking stop. They turned to the eighty-year-old president and found that he was holding a remote control.

As the remote control was pressed, the scene slowly appeared before our eyes: "The Caribbean Sea is bustling right now. In addition to our Second and Sixth Fleets, there are at least hundreds of ships from thirty countries here!"

"This is international waters. No one can stop them. These people are circling around, and everyone knows what they're doing!"

The golden retriever squinted, "And our friends in California are also very interested in this. Everyone seems to want to get something out of this ocean!"

"Therefore, I hope you can give me a more accurate answer based on some new information!"

Is this true? If so, what can we learn from it?

Upon hearing the golden retriever's question, Professor Thomas quickly replied, "It should be true. We've been studying the shipwreck for several days, and we can now confirm that the ship sank in 1717, while Edward Teach, the Blackbeard, died in 1718!"

He waved the documents in his hand, which contained the latest research information, exactly matching some of his guesses.

"In other words, the timing matches up, and according to information from the Vatican, the destruction of this ship is most likely related to the graveyard here!"

"Because the Windless Cemetery is also recorded in the Vatican's archives!"

Upon hearing this, the blond man was taken aback. "The Vatican has records of this? I've never heard of it."

“This is recorded in the Catholic Codex, and even the Vatican isn’t sure if it’s true or false!” Thomas said. “Because the Vatican has so many stories about artifacts, relics, and the supernatural, many of which are baseless tales, but some can still be verified.”

"Take the Shroud of Turin for example! This fragment of the shroud itself should originate from the 1675 incident of the Shroud of Turin being contaminated with holy blood. According to Vatican records, it was a sacred object requested by the Spanish Inquisition at the time, in order to combat the Aztec sun god cult..."

It is common knowledge that Thomas has a deep relationship with the Vatican. He has a close personal relationship with Cardinal Angus and was once a Catholic priest and bishop. It is not surprising that he has this source.

The golden retriever nodded. "Go on."

"According to the Vatican's records, the Governor of Havana melted down the Aztec crown of the sun god and cast it into a sac. When the Dominican friar Diego de la Cruz carried it to Port-au-Prince, it caused a terrible tsunami, resulting in the destruction of a city and the raging of a sea!"

"Ultimately, Father Cruz threw the Shroud of Blood into the ocean, where it collided violently, before leading the survivors back to the Vatican!" Thomas explained in detail. "Therefore, judging from the timeline, this shroud belonging to the cemetery is very likely from this special operation!"

“This is the Vatican…you can always find records in all sorts of places…” the blond man said silently, then looked at Margaret, “Professor Carlos, have you had any results from your research?”

Margaret Carlos nodded slowly. "Yes, Mr. President!"

She gave an answer that surprised everyone: "I examined the sharkskin paper and found that the graffiti on it wasn't graffiti at all, but a simple map, a map marking three special items!"

"But I still don't know what the three items mean, so..."

“The three items mean the Three Relics!” Barron suddenly said. “The Special Affairs Bureau received some information from the CIA that some materials about this cemetery have appeared in the British Museum. They clearly indicate that the Three Relics are three things that can allow us to enter the cemetery unharmed!”

"In other words, without the three sacred relics, anyone who enters this graveyard will become a dead person, right?" Professor Thomas said immediately.

No one spoke, but they had already tacitly accepted his judgment. Even extraordinary beings, ancient priests, and Mayan high priests had become corpses; how could they possibly escape unscathed? Clearly not.

Before Baron could finish speaking, he continued, "Our agents in Europe have gathered information about these relics: fragments of the Shroud of Turin, the crystal monkey head, and the runic compass!"

"Secret files of the Spanish royal family also record that a rib of that priest seems to have the same effect, temporarily repelling curses!"

"And this so-called graveyard, in essence, is the testing ground and battle graveyard of the gods. What exists inside should be those extraordinary powers, the treasures belonging to these extraordinary forces!"

"At that time, all the pirates and nations wanted to gather these sacred relics and retrieve these treasures from the graveyard, because they were the true manifestation of the extraordinary!"

Barron's words drew the attention of everyone present. They naturally agreed with him, because the sharkskin had clearly shown what was in the graveyard!

Christian mythology, Norse mythology, Greek mythology, American mythology, and even unique African mythology... The power of these mythologies all appeared during that terrible Age of Exploration. Were they just for show?

Even priests go there; perhaps there is true supernatural power hidden there, and it is supernatural power that can be used!

Isn't that what the pirates were after?

Many people immediately thought of the spirit conveyed in "Pirates of the Caribbean," and the manifestation of using extraordinary items to wield extraordinary power. Isn't that the embodiment of this extraordinary power?

The golden retriever listened to this information and nodded slightly. "Yes, that's why I brought you here. We need to continue using this information to find out what exactly happened in this sea area three hundred years ago!"

Thomas immediately understood what the blond man meant. "Your Excellency, you sent us here to find these sacred artifacts in order to gain extraordinary power?"

The blond-haired man shook his head. "No, in fact, the Special Affairs Administration is already doing this. Your task is to continue disseminating information from here to the world! To get more countries to come here in search of the so-called extraordinary!"

The old man said with a sly look, "We already have extraordinary abilities, but they don't! They're more anxious than we are, aren't they?"

"Let them come! Let their armies, their wealthy, and even those who seek the extraordinary come here! After all, this isn't America's territory; it's Central American territory!"

"The people who come here are the richest and most extravagant people in the world. America is the only place in the entire Americas where they can find supplies!"

“We’ll send our people to them with supplies! Food! Tools! Everything! America will sell anything for money!”

"That will be the time for us to unleash our full potential!"

Everyone was shocked. Could this really be done? Extraordinary deeds could become a way to make money?

But thinking about it, it seems reasonable. The government is about to shut down. If they don't make money, how will they maintain the country?

Taking advantage of this extraordinary opportunity to develop the economy, our leader really knows how to have fun, huh?
