Chapter 1426: Chapter 688 Picking Up a Treasure, So Tiring!_3

And on the surface of this statue lay a thick layer of ash, but if you wiped away the layer of ash on top, you could see that these were actually two golden statues!

They were so huge, this guy... was a bit exaggerated!

Footsteps could be heard from the corridor outside, and Sean Knight quickly stowed away the two double-headed eagle statues.

A few team members appeared at the entrance of the basement. They saw the flintlock gun in Sean Knight’s hand and their faces revealed an ’as expected’ expression.

"There are even more, and more advanced guns inside," Sean Knight said. "Move them all up, and we can make a small fortune."

With that, he picked up the flintlock gun and walked out.

The team members began to laugh as they tied up the boxes.

The boxes here were preserved better than the ones outside and were easily moved out.

Sean Knight reached the cave entrance, pulled himself up with the rope to the outside, and handed the flintlock gun to Elijah Hastings.

"This gun... not bad!" Elijah Hastings examined the condition of the gun and then aimed it, "There’s no damage or rust inside the gunbore, a little maintenance and it might still be usable."

"Forget it, wait to sell it as a collector’s item to those who are interested."

"Then I’ll keep one," Elijah Hastings said with a smile. "I’m quite interested in this."

"Where will you put it?"

"On Big Island," Elijah Hastings replied. "That’s the only place I can store it. I want to keep it domestic, but that’s not allowed, is it!"

Sean Knight laughed. Indeed.

"I need to make a phone call and get a van over here; otherwise, it’ll be difficult to transport all this stuff," Elijah Hastings said, watching as boxes of guns were being brought up.

"Go ahead," Sean Knight nodded and then walked towards the outside. He heard people talking at the front gate.

Indeed, as he emerged from the military fort, Sean Knight found the professor with the students still standing guard at the front gate. Sam Baker and his group were standing inside the door, silent and not opening the door.

The professor and students outside were likewise silent, just vigilantly standing there.

Sean Knight showing himself just spoiled the situation.

The professor had been watching this side the whole time, and now seeing Sean Knight, he immediately shouted loudly.

He called out "Comrade"!

Sean Knight was a bit stunned, thinking that this term was indeed a blast from the past—at least in China, one seldom heard it.

Since he had been discovered, Sean Knight no longer hid and walked over with Viola.

The professor was very happy to see Sean Knight, waving his arms and vigorously beckoning over here.

Approaching the entrance, the professor asked:

"Sir, is it you who rented this place?"

Sean Knight nodded.

"Then, could you let us go inside to have a look? I brought some new students this time... they haven’t studied this yet."

"Not right now," Sean Knight shook his head and said: "We are busy inside. It might be more convenient if you come back tomorrow."

The professor had a disappointed look and explained:

"Tomorrow... we have other plans. It’s not very convenient for us to come here..."

"Then you have to wait a while," Sean Knight said. "If you’re not in a hurry, it’ll be about another hour."

Sean Knight estimated that the truck would arrive in half an hour. Once it came and the stuff was loaded, the cave entrance restored, these people could still be let in for a visit.

He still supported educational work.

The professor looked at his watch, nodded, and then said:

"Comrade, thank you!"

Sean Knight smiled.

The professor then enthusiastically introduced his students to Sean Knight and continued to share with the students about their previous interaction with Lincoln Harrington regarding Huaxia Ancient Castle.

The professor was talking in English this time, and Sean Knight could understand.

However, within five minutes, the truck had already arrived. Actually, the two places were not far apart; Elijah Hastings had just made the call, and in this short time, the truck had arrived.

The team members opened the gate to let the truck in and then closed it again.

"Professor, you’ll have to wait a bit longer, we have some things to handle inside," Sean Knight said. "Half an hour, after that, you can come in."

The professor looked at the truck, nodding thoughtfully.

Sean Knight didn’t care what he was thinking and followed the truck into the military fort.

By the time he got inside the fort, Elijah Hastings and the others had already started loading the truck.

"Boss, is there something happening outside?" Elijah Hastings asked.

"Yeah, that professor brought a bunch of people over," Sean Knight replied. "It’s an educational thing, so letting them have a look isn’t a problem. Let’s load quickly and then pull out, restore the cave entrance, and let them look around here."

"Okay," Elijah Hastings said. "Guys, let’s speed things up!"

The team members immediately sped up their work, and a dozen boxes of items were quickly loaded onto the truck.

Meanwhile, the cave entrance had been restored. The detail-oriented team members even scattered some soil into the crevices of the pried-open stones and sprinkled some sand on top of the stones, rubbed them with their feet, making a successful camouflage.

The truck drove out, and the team members followed, climbing into the off-road vehicle.

"Sam Baker, let the professor and his group in," Elijah Hastings called out, and then Sam Baker opened the front gate.

The professor led his students into the military fort.

"Professor, please go ahead and visit. However, this is a one-time only allowance; after this, you won’t be able to come in here again," Sean Knight said from the car to the professor passing by. "We have rented this place, and it has some other uses, so...".

Sean Knight didn’t finish his sentence, but the implication was clear.

The professor quickly nodded:

"I understand."

Sean Knight and his group drove their cars and followed the truck towards the castle, while the professor took his students inside the military fort.

Like before, the professor started explaining the structure of the fort, the uses of certain special places, and so on.

After finishing the main content, the professor let the students visit the various places on their own, and he started to stroll around.

Having come here many times, the professor was very familiar with the fort and quickly noticed something odd about the ramp.

It was the subtlety of tire tracks and the fact that there were more footprints here.

With a thoughtful look, the professor gazed at the ramp area, approximately guessing the purpose of Sean Knight and his team’s visit to this place.
