The Mistery of Belicena Villca since his relatives were be very rich . Yes , Nikolaus Federmann would stick his neck out for the Lords of Tharsis . The plan seemed simple : he would have to transport six of them ; three were Knights and it would be easy to hire them ; two others , Dominican friars , already had ecclesiastical dispensation , and furthermore , to the satisfaction of the Welsers , were mining experts and specialists in fine metals , a highly prized art in those days when it was required to melt the unusual alloys of the objects of the indigenous people to rescue the gold and silver they contained ; the only problem was the Lady , who would have to wait in Coro until the return of her brothers and uncles ; and those of Tharsis offered to defray the expenses of ten Catalan soldiers from their own infantry troop , which did not offer any inconvenience since each American expedition required huge amounts of military personnel . Back in America , Nikolaus would try to guide them in the search for a strange stone construction that they claimed it existed " towards the South ". How they knew it was something that he soon gave up to find out due to the closed secrecy of the Spanish . But of something else was sure : they were not interested in gold , precious stones or pearls , which they could find in that search ; any valuables would belong to him since they just wanted to find that place .
The first ship sent by Francisco Pizarro with a sample of the ransom of Atahualpa arrived in Seville on December 5 , 1533 and the second , with Hernando Pizarro on board , January 9 , 1534 ; they transported 100,000 castilians of gold , about 450 kilograms , which only constituted a third of what corresponded to the King : in Perú , Francisco Pizarro had seized by then nine tons ( 9,000 kg .) of pure gold and fifty ( 50,000 kg .) of silver . Such events put the greedy Welser in a frenzy , who sought to obtain a similar profit from their American colony , and they accelerated the departure of Georg von Speyer and Nikolaus Federmann . At the end of January 1534 , sailed the fleet that brought to America Lito de Tharsis and the five Stone Men who supported him .
The Lords of Tharsis had supplied themselves with abundant provisions , military clothing and equipment , plus twenty horses , three Spanish bullmastiffs , and three dozen chickens from Castile . One week before leaving , Lito de Tharsis withdrew the Wise Sword from the Secret Cavern , covered the Stone of Venus with a bow ribbon crossed at the sword handle , and tying it around the waist , he began the path of no return to the port of Seville and America : for the first time in 1,800 years , since the fall of Tharsis at the hands of the Phoenicians and Golen , the ancient Sword of the Iberian Kings was leaving the Secret Cavern . Three Noyos would guard it on that uncertain journey , one of them the most perfect that the House of Tharsis ever produced . But would his Wisdom be enough to free them of the diabolical powers of Bera and Birsha , who would come out immediately in their pursuit ? Only in the near future would they check the affirmative answer .
As soon as the bow of the Welser frigate entered the Atlantic Ocean , the gaze of the Stone Men was directed towards the Costa de la Luz , which they left behind : seventy kilometers N . E . was Onuba , one of the ancient ports of the Tartessian Empire , and also Rus Baal , the Boulder of Saturn , where Quiblon received the Shekhinah . All six were leaning on a railing from the starboard bulwark , but their minds wandered towards Onuba , on the confluence of the Tinto and Odiel rivers ; and then they went up the Odiel , to Turdes , and they stopped at the citadel of Tharshish , now alive and powerful again in the stage of imagination ; they saw their ancestors , the Iberian Kings Lords of Tharsis , sustain with the commitment of their lives the guidelines of the Blood pact ; in solitude , that Lineage had faced Everything and everyone to fulfill the mission entrusted by the white Atlantean founders , to maintain loyalty to the Liberator Gods ; a solitude that is the price to pay for those who are truly Aliens in the Universe , for those who display the Fearlessness of Nimrod and the Courage of his Kassite warriors , by those who possess or seek the Blood of Tharsis : Absolute Solitude , which on Earth must suffer the Wise Warriors , the Hyperborean Initiates , the Men of Stone , the Uncreated Spirits ; and the mind was heading then to Cerro Char , in front of the Stone Face of Pyrene , at the time when the Mystery of the Cold Fire was officiated freely and the Chosen
