NOVEL SIMPLE Treasure hunt begins in England
Chapter 25 Ireland
Chapter 25 Ireland
After carefully examining what looked like a cigarette filter, he found that it was a small note sealed in wax.
It's just that because of the passage of time, the wax on the outside has become darker due to oxidation, and it looks like those cigarette filters.
Putting on gloves and carefully peeling off the wax on the roll of paper with a special tool, Liang En gently unfolded the roll of paper.
Perhaps because of the wax seal, this note is relatively well preserved, so the text on it is also very clear, and it can be read without further processing.
The note was written in French, and from the slightly messy handwriting and the several holes in the note, it could be seen that this note should have been written under some kind of emergency.
"Whoever sees the note, please hand over the things I stored there before." After gently reading this line of words, Liang En showed a puzzled expression on his face.
Because this sentence has no beginning and no end, if it is just the content on the note, it is impossible to see what the note is trying to express.
After a simple inspection, Liang En discovered that the seal at the end of the note belonged to King Louis XVI of France, that is to say, this note was written by Louis XVI.
However, it is obvious that the complete wax seal proves that this order was not sent to the person who should receive it, but has been sealed in those wax seals to this day.
After checking the note over and over several times, I realized that there was no more information on the note.Liang En began to use his mobile phone to search for all the information he could think of.Soon, he discovered something interesting.
According to the Internet, Saint-Mernould, where they stopped for a lunch break and bought this lock, is actually a town with a long history and an important traffic node. Even the French were there hundreds of years ago. A post station was established.
More importantly, when King Louis XVI of France fled abroad on June 1791-6, 20, he was found in the post station in this town and was later arrested.And this incident also became an important historical turning point in that era.
"If this is the case, then this note is likely to be one of the instructions sent to the outside world by the imprisoned French king at that time." After reading the information on the Internet, Liang En quickly had a guess.
Although this conjecture may not be true, the coincidence of the location of the discovery still makes this conjecture quite possible.
According to historical records, Queen Mary gradually smuggled her clothing, jewelry and cosmetics out of Paris in the month before her escape, and many of the items at that time were fortunately passed on to later generations.
Although the record only mentions that the queen will transfer wealth, but in the case of going into exile in another country and preparing to regain her rights.The king will also transfer a lot of things to prepare for future life in exile or restoration.
At least from this note, it is likely that Louis XVI also transferred a large amount of things.
However, this note should have been issued with an order back then, so it is impossible to tell what is going on just by looking at the note.
"Just to try the new card." After thinking for a few seconds, Liang En suddenly realized that this note was the best object for him to test the new card.
Because the direction of this note is very single, if you use the card, there is a high probability that you will find the part of the note that this note refers to, or an important clue related to this matter, and will not lead to some useless things. on target.
After a brief analysis of the pros and cons, Liang En made up his mind to use that card.After all, keeping the cards will not give birth to children, and now this note may lead him to discover a king's treasure.
After confirming the use of the card, the bronze card turned into a little bit of light.However, unlike before, these rays of light did not spread out, but formed a globe composed of light spots.
On this globe, a light spot appeared, and the entire map could expand or shrink according to Liang En's own thoughts.
After constantly zooming in on the map, the place where the light spot appeared exceeded Liang En's expectations.Because this location is not in France, or even on the European continent, but in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.
"Why are the clues there?" Liang En frowned. When he thought about it, if the French king really sent something ahead of time, it should naturally stay on the European continent, not Ireland, which has no connection with France.
"But that's good too. I can just go home and have a look." After looking at the light spot on the globe in his mind for the last time, Liang En began to make preparations.
At the beginning, he also planned to ask Pierce to go treasure hunting together.It's a pity that Pierce just took a few orders with very good profits during this period, so he really couldn't leave in a short time.
Ireland, a country known as the emerald country or emerald country.So the representative color of this country is green. Even on St. Patrick's Day, many people will wear green clothes and green hats to celebrate in the streets.
Of course, although Liang En's family has immigrated to this country for more than 20 years, they can only accept wearing green clothes and going out with everyone during this festival, but they firmly reject green hats.
Perhaps because of ocean currents, Ireland is like spring all year round.It's not too cold when it's cold, and it's not too hot when it's hot. This is what Liang En thinks is better than his hometown in another world.
Also because of this reason, the animal husbandry industry in Ireland is very developed.But correspondingly, the planting industry has been a little bit down. The staple food that is often eaten on the island is potatoes, potatoes and yam eggs.
Because of the series of agreements between Britain and Ireland, crossing the border between the two countries was a very simple matter for Liang En.
So at 4 pm the next day, he had already appeared on the pier in Dublin dragging a large suitcase.
The reason why he chose to take the train from London to Liverpool and then take the boat from Liverpool to Dublin instead of flying directly is also very simple, that is, he needs to take the Kazan copper pot home.
Obviously, neither the security level of the station nor the wharf is high.Therefore, although the big copper pot in the box, which he stuffed a lot of utensils made of copper and tin, attracted some attention, it was quickly released.
These utensils were previously found together with the copper pots. A large part of them were put on sale in Pierce's store, but some were kept by him to take home as gifts for his parents.
"Welcome to travel to Ireland, dear foreign friends." After leaving the dock area and getting into a taxi, the driver said quickly in English with a strong Irish accent.
It is normal for the other party to have such an understanding, because with the development of China, there are more and more international travelers now.And a young Chinese with a big suitcase like Liang En would naturally be considered a traveler by the taxi driver.
"Go to Baojian Town near the airport." Liang En replied with the same accent, then looked at the surprised driver and said. "I grew up there, but now I'm working in the UK."
