Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

The reason why he is willing to accompany Pierce to Scotland this time is also very simple. In addition to helping each other between friends, the most important reason is that in his impression there are several treasures in Scotland.

So this time he went there and planned to do some on-the-spot investigation and see which treasures had not been dug up in this world.

So after arriving in Edinburgh and finding a hotel to stay in, Liang En went straight to visit the Scottish Museum.

After a brief tour, he found that just as he had imagined before, the differences between the two worlds meant that several famous treasures had not been discovered, and at the same time there were also a few more things that he had never heard of in his previous life. past treasures.

So at the last stop of the tour, in front of the clear glass case containing the Galloway treasures. Liang En slowly summarized and sorted out his findings this time, and then determined the target of his next search based on the memory in his mind.

But before that, the most important thing is to collect a sufficient amount of Victorian furniture. According to Pierce, the business was arranged by a super-rich American who had just arrived in London.

The rich man, who is often seen on TV and in newspapers, bought a high-end residence in Knightsbridge, London, so he needed some antique furniture to decorate his new home.

Early the next morning, Liang En and Pierce entered the old town of Edinburgh, and then began to look for those old townhouses, knocking on their doors one by one, and then asked the owners of those houses if they had any antiques here. furniture.

The owners of most of the houses refused their requests, and some even closed the door in front of them before they finished speaking. However, there were still some people who were willing to open the door and allow them to see if there was anything they needed. .

Unfortunately, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish different furniture. So many times the so-called Victorian furniture enthusiastically recommended by the owners of the homes is actually just old furniture in the Victorian style.

Fortunately, during this process, Liang En and Pierce collected a lot of information, which helped them greatly narrow down the scope of their search.

"Our next step can be to go directly to House No. 207 in the middle of this street." Liang En said to Pierce after coming out of a house.

"Because several people on this street just said that the old man of that family had always been fond of collecting all kinds of old things, and his children did not take away most of the things in the house when they divided the inheritance."

So the two people quickly arrived at the house. Unlike other houses on the street, the windows of this house were all nailed with wooden boards, and the front door also looked a little dirty.

Seeing that there was no one around, Liang En and Pierce took the ladder and took turns climbing to the windows on both sides of the door, and then looked inside through the gaps in the wooden boards.

Fortunately, maybe because of the wooden boards nailed to the window frame, the curtains were not closed inside the window, and the details of the room could still be seen through the gap in the window.

The overall condition of the interior of this house looks very good, although some cabinet doors and drawers are not closed, and there are some debris on the floor. But overall it looks complete enough.

More importantly, according to Pierce's judgment, the coffee table and side cabinets in the living room should all be Victorian furniture, and they are in good condition.

After checking the situation in the room, the two of them began to look for the contact information of the owner of the house. Soon, after cleaning a dirty wooden board nailed to the door, the two people found the contact information written on the wooden board.

It only rang three times before the call was connected. The person who answered the phone was a middle-aged man. After learning about Liang En's purpose, the middle-aged man said that he would come over immediately to interview them.

Ten minutes later, an electric car parked quietly at the door of the house, and then a middle-aged man in a suit and tie stepped out of the car.

"Nice to meet you. I'm the lawyer in charge of this house." The man came up and shook hands with Liang En and the others and said. "The owner of this house has given me full authority to handle this matter."

As he said that, the lawyer showed them a document to prove his statement, and then asked Liang En what they wanted to do this time.

After Liang En and the others stated that they wanted to purchase some antique furniture, the lawyer made a few phone calls and quickly announced his decision.

"As long as you are willing to pay 2,000 pounds, then everything in the room belongs to you. I will give you two days to take away as much as you want, and you do not need to clean the room."

"Okay, deal." After hearing the other party say that there was no need to clean the room, Liang En immediately reached out his hand and shook the other party's hand to announce the deal. After all, everyone’s time is limited, and their pockets are relatively big these days, so it’s more efficient to spend more money and save time.

After both parties handed over the money and the key, Liang En used the key to open the door that had not been opened for several years. Fortunately, the previous lawyer was more responsible, so the door was locked and not rusty.

Because they had two full days to move around in this double-storey townhouse with a loft, Liang En and Pierce did not rush to move the furniture to the car, but began to inspect the house.

"Let me see if there are any good things." While Pierce was rummaging around on the first floor, Liang En climbed to the second floor to estimate the structure of the room, then stood in a small corridor and used a [Detection (N)] .

In an instant, the entire room was wrapped in this power and within the detection range of the card. Then Liang En felt that a 3D map of the entire room suddenly appeared in his mind, and at the same time, a light point was marked on the attic.

"It turns out that this is the way to mark targets outside the field of view." Liang En observed the targets in his mind curiously, and at the same time, a clear expression appeared on his face, which meant that he had mastered something about Golden Finger. knowledge of usage.

After climbing up a rusty iron escalator to the attic, Liang En felt as if he had entered a garbage dump. Because a large number of things were piled up in the attic, there was only a narrow path left for people to pass.

Judging from the plastic bags surrounding it and the layer of dust that had accumulated on the floor, it was likely that no one had visited this place in several years.

After roughly looking around the attic, Liang En took out a filter mask and gloves from his bag and put them on himself, then took out an iron clip and an iron rod with a hook.

This is the experience summed up by some veterans in this industry, because many people have accidentally been wrapped in iron nails, broken porcelain pieces, or needles when facing such things before. Something pricked me.

Fortunately, the overall condition of this attic is pretty good, and there aren't that many dangerous items in it.

So after carefully unpacking the large cloth bag made of sheets that contained the target, Liang En quickly dropped the tools and began to clean up the contents of the original bag with both hands.
