Chapter 959: Chapter 532 Proving Yourself and the Peril of the Night

The other people present, especially Elder Hassan, found it quite normal for Sean Knight to be questioned. After all, Sean Knight was so young and did not at all seem like an experienced treasure hunter.

Clarence Hughes also had a skeptical expression on his face, but he did not speak.

On the contrary, Elijah Hastings and others had no doubt about Sean Knight’s words.

They had seen more than once how Sean Knight turned the impossible into possible, turning decay into magic.

So when Sean Knight said that these slags were from a golden mine, Elijah Hastings and the others believed there must be a golden mine nearby.

"Trust my boss, there must be a golden mine nearby. This would explain why the Old Lighthouse built such a large base here and why there is so much engineering machinery we are unfamiliar with,"

Elijah Hastings also figured out the cause and effect of the matter, and he said to Elder Hassan and Clarence Hughes:

"Think about it, if there weren’t sufficient benefits, why would the Old Lighthouse establish such a big base here at great expense, air freight all sorts of equipment from other places?

If it were just because of that little bit of Lapis Lazuli and the poor amount of other ores you have, would the Old Lighthouse be so foolish?"

Elder Hassan said with a bitter smile:

"It’s not that we don’t believe, it’s just that this matter is a bit unexpected.

Before the Soviet Union came to our village to wage war, it wasn’t that no one had come to explore.

We also thought that if we have Lapis Lazuli ore, there should be other types of ore as well.

At that time, for this reason, we invited professional mining experts, and in the end, we only found that one Lapis Lazuli mine, which was not very large.

Later, there were rumors that we had precious metal mines, and some countries from Europe and America, including Japan, even sent people to explore.

But in the end, they all left empty-handed.

We don’t disbelieve, it’s mainly because there have been too many prior examples, we just can’t believe it.

Mr. Knight is a treasure hunt expert, this we understand.

But to say that you can tell at a glance that there is a golden mine here, that’s really hard to say."

Sean Knight waved his hand and said:

"I’m not asking you to believe right now, I’m just telling you that there is such a fact.

Of course, this doesn’t affect our cooperation, I will still try my best to find the whereabouts of those supplies.

Of course, if there really is something here, and it hasn’t been completely mined by those from the Old Lighthouse, we can discuss other ways of cooperation."

In fact, if it weren’t for Clarence Hughes’s comments, Sean Knight really had no plans to invest here.

The place is in need of significant restoration. Its investment environment is really not as good as the northern part of Mongolia.

The golden mine Sean Knight has in Mongolia is now producing stably, yielding about twenty kilograms of pure gold profit per month, which is already a very good return.

Sean Knight closed the topic, and then they walked into the base together.

Originally, Sean Knight had no plans of going inside the base, as he thought anything movable must have already been taken away.

But now, having discovered that pile of slag, he felt it was necessary to take a look inside.

In the empty base, the occasional rat scurried out.

A falcon flew out of a hole in one of the rooms with a rat in its beak, watching Sean Knight and the others warily, as if afraid they would invade its territory and take its food.

Sean Knight casually looked from one room to another, finding nothing of value.

The rooms were all quite large, and it was clear that they originally contained many items. Although the items had been removed, from the marks on the walls and floor, it was still possible to discern which were workspaces and which were living quarters.

The floor was covered with scattered glass shards, dust, and torn pieces of paper.

In the corner, there was even some dung left by humans or livestock.

Some of the walls had black graffiti that made no sense.

Seeing these familiar scenes, Sean Knight remembered his childhood experiences in old buildings, participating in treasure hunts.

He had Sky Eye activated the entire time, looking to see if anything had been overlooked.

In a room that must have been a dormitory, Sean Knight finally spotted something unusual.

Seeing Sean Knight stop in his tracks, Elijah Hastings immediately asked:

"Boss, is there something?"

"Let’s see if there’s anything here," Sean Knight said, taking a shovel from Elijah Hastings and digging in the corner of the wall.

There used to be a bed there, but now it was gone, leaving behind the marks from the bed’s iron corners and a pile of dust and garbage in the corner.

It was in the corner, in that pile of garbage, that Sean Knight began digging.

"Mr. Knight, are you looking for something overlooked in their garbage?" Hassan asked, puzzled.

"This place has already been searched many times by our villagers, and anything worth money has been taken away..."

Sean Knight didn’t pick up the conversation, continuing to carefully sift through the garbage.

Clarence Hughes watched Sean Knight’s actions curiously, without making any comment.

He knew Sean Knight had started an education fund to support teachers working in remote areas.

This had greatly improved Clarence Hughes’s impression of Sean Knight.

From yesterday to now, Clarence Hughes had actually been quietly observing Sean Knight. Apart from the slag, which he wasn’t sure whether it was just a pretense or really gold, he hadn’t noticed anything particularly extraordinary.
