MISSION #2: PAPER FACTORY ESCAPE
MISSION #2: PAPER FACTORY ESCAPE
Another invention created by the Chinese is paper made from trees (the Egyptians invented paper first but they created it from a water reed called Papyrus). While the Chinese government is not as concerned about this invention being stolen because paper already exists in other countries, they still don't want Chinese property stolen. AND it looks like there might be a plot brewing to take down a paper-making facility...

MISSION #5: SILKWORMS & HIDEOUT CAVES
MISSION #5: SILKWORMS & HIDEOUT CAVES
Silk, the final invention that you must protect, is very important to the Chinese because it is very valuable and makes a lot of money in global trade. You hear word that a group of thieves are going to try to steal a bunch of silkworms from a silkworm farm and then sneak them out of the country. They are likely employed by some king or noble in Europe who wants to grow their OWN silk.

You've discovered the thieves' hideout cave but were too late to catch them. You do see some markings they made on the wall and are pretty sure it shows their next location. These markings are in some sort of secret code, and you need the decoder/cipher to help you determine what the cave message says. The location on the wall is where you will find the thieves & take back the silkworms, so that city name is your mission 5 code.
