As Saladin later marches upon Jerusalem. Arn is given the order to march with all his knights, and they successfully ambush Saladin's army in a mountain pass (the ambush taking the place of the historical Battle of Montgisard figuring in the novel). Arn gains the right to return to his home country, but is forbidden by one of the crusades masters to do so. He finds himself engaged in a new campaign with the crusaders. They are violently defeated by Saladin and his men, where Arn is injured but survives. At Saladin's request, he is brought in Damascus where he is healed by Saladin's people. He leaves Damascus for his home country where he meets Cecilia and his son Magnuss; together they start a new life.

Mr. Tomasz, who sometimes introduced himself as Tomasz the Vagabond, was called by his friends Mr. Samochodzik. He owed his nickname to an unusual vehicle inherited from his uncle-inventor. This car, although ugly, "a cross between a canoe and a wheelbarrow", as the malicious people called it, had incredible capabilities: with a Ferrari 410 engine, it could run at a speed of 280 km per hour. Thanks to the screw used, it served as a motor boat. In this vehicle, Mr. Tomasz went to Poland to decipher another historical mystery, to catch thieves and smugglers trying to steal valuable historic items. Treasure hunting is great, but... it's better that no one interferes with it... In the meantime, some Danes and a suspicious group of Polish youth follow the trail of Mr. Samochodzik's search in the Teutonic castles and the headquarters of the Templars. To find the treasure you need a lot of knowledge, cunning and... a lot of luck. Who will have more?
