The Cambronchaux a very large Cistercian farm outside of
Wodecq had an extremely large barn. This was an ideal site for the destination
of the Treasure. No one would question
monks going about normal farming activities.
Warrior monks escorting carts of hay, wool, livestock, and other
agricultural items also would not have attracted attention. This also would be a common sight because of
frequent thefts and pillaging from soldiers in the area from the frequent
battles with France over the last several years.
The Flemish Knight and brother Yves had their work cut out
for them. In the back of a distillery on
the grounds of the Paris preceptoy they had acquired 21 large barrels and had
transferred the gold, silver, jewels, precious stones, and documents to the
barrels and covered them with a thick coat of grease.
One at a time they
were loaded onto a cargo vessel in the Seine River and they made their way to
the Atlantic. At a property close to the
mouth of the Seine river they were transferred with other cargo to ships from
the seaport at le Rochelle which in turn delivered their cargo without a lot of
pomp and splendor to Luys Flanders where they were again met by brother warrior
monks who assumed they were just transferring agricultural products to the barn
at Cambronchaux.
They were escorted in company of knight Templar's in full
battle dress, to protect them from the highway robbers, unemployed soldiers,
laying around waiting for another war, pillaging the local fields and farmers
to survive.
With a large frame in
the barn other young monks were waiting to unload the barrels and set them
along the side of the interior of the barn one at a time, under the supervision
of brother Yves. The young monks thought
it strange that such a man of intellect was doing mundane chores around the
barn, but the old monk just smiled and said he had writers block from time to
time.
