Rise of Australia

Chapter 128 The Mystery in the Temple
As time went on, only the footsteps of the three of Val were left on the hot road. Although they were not clear, they could travel far in this dry and open field.

"Hey, look quickly! This is the mark of our people, it seems that the destination should not be far away." Val suddenly saw something on the side of the road, and shouted happily.

"Shut up! Val. Do you want everyone to know about our mission?" The captain yelled again, but there was a bit of joy in his tone.

Although I can endure it, but walking on such an empty and hot road, the sun above my head alone can make people's mind collapse.

Now that they are very close to their destination, it proves that their boring journey is coming to an end.

"Rest for 10 minutes under the shade of the tree, and then continue on your way. Try to get to the temple before the sun sets today, and explore the road at night." The leader first glanced at the still hot sun above his head, and then looked at the other people. Said the shade in the distance.

When Val and the other person heard the order, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and each chose a shaded place to rest.

At night, a temple somewhere in southern India.

In the dead of night, some people in dark clothes quietly appeared near the temple. They wandered around the temple first, and headed to different areas in a tacit understanding.

After inquiring about the surrounding terrain and situation, they gathered next to the temple and looked into the temple.

Barty Crouch's order was to inquire about the news around the temple. Since he didn't say that he was not allowed to enter the temple, the inside of the temple was naturally within the scope of inquiring news.

As the largest temple in India, this temple named Padmanabaswamy naturally also has its own defense force.

Especially in the case of a large number of believers in India, the donations of believers are also a considerable fortune.

In order to protect these wealth from malicious prying eyes, the temple's defense force is also considered strong. Even in the dark night, there are two patrol teams holding torches to patrol.

But it is obvious that these guardian forces, all composed of Indian civilians, are definitely not opponents of the Royal Security Intelligence Service.

In a corner that the monks and guards didn't notice, a few capable intelligence personnel slipped in without anyone noticing.

The area of ​​the temple is very large. It is not a complete building, but a huge temple composed of several disconnected buildings.

After exploring all the buildings, the intelligence personnel still found nothing.

According to their investigation, this temple is the same as other temples in India, except for its relatively large area, there are basically no other differences.

But Chief Barty Crouch wouldn't be entertaining them, would he?Australia is so far away from India, everyone believes that their purpose of coming here is definitely not as simple as exploring an ordinary temple.

"Hey! Here, look here!"

The people who were searching immediately heard the obvious call and rushed towards the source of the sound.

This is a somewhat dilapidated building, located in the hinterland of the temple.Unlike other palatial-looking buildings around, this one is old and in disrepair, and doesn't look like it's been used very often.

Even the path in front of the building was overgrown with weeds, obviously not many people came here.

Everyone looked at each other and felt that this building must be weird.Is it really normal that there is a dilapidated building in such a magnificent temple, and almost no one comes?
You must know that there are countless believers in this temple during the day, and most of the buildings are crowded with people.

Under such circumstances, such a dilapidated building that is rarely visited by people is a bit special.

Everyone sneaked in quietly and found the difference between this place and other places.

Most of the defense forces of this temple are on the periphery, that is, patrols with torches outside.

There is basically no protective force in the temple, which is why everyone explored so smoothly.

But now, there are actually two guards standing guard in such a dilapidated building. Although the guards are already so sleepy that they are about to fall asleep, it is absolutely undeniable that there must be something important hidden in this building.

Because they didn't want to scare the snake, everyone chose to retreat after a simple exchange.

Tonight, the news of the temple has been inquired almost, and the strangeness in the temple has been discovered.

The next step is to wait for Barty Crouch's next order, and then decide whether to go inside that building or not.

What all the intelligence personnel did not expect was that the purpose of this operation was really the building in the temple.

Although he missed a good opportunity to enter in vain, he did have a clearer understanding of the situation around and inside the temple.

Barty Crouch made a decisive decision. After gathering everyone, he decided to re-enter the temple that night.

Barty Crouch knew what was in the temple, so he was well prepared.

Except for a small group of people who continued to explore inside the temple, the rest of the people were looking for opportunities to deal with the patrolling guards outside the temple and guard the people inside the temple.

As long as all the external guards are resolved, the people inside the temple can transport it to the gate and load it after they find out the specific treasure.

It was still the dilapidated building, and there were still two guards who were standing and falling asleep.

This time the action was very decisive. Two intelligence officers sneaked behind the guard, took out a dagger and wiped it hard, and the two guards fell down like cartilage.

The intelligence personnel had inspected it, and there were basically no guards inside the temple, except for these two people.

The temple used most of its guarding forces on external guards and patrols, which is why everyone dared to kill these two guards directly.

With a look from Barty Crouch, everyone entered the building one by one.

The interior of the building is one statue after another. Because no one has entered for a long time, the statues have already been covered with dust.

"Inspect each of them separately, and gather immediately when they find the situation." Barty Crouch ordered.

Everyone began to inspect the building, knocking left and right at the statue, trying not to miss any details.

Boom boom boom!
An intelligence officer noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Director! This place is empty!"

In an instant, the busy people gathered one after another, looking at the place pointed by the person who made the sound.

Boom boom boom!
Barty Crouch's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "Pry it open!"

　First update, Happy New Years Eve everyone!
