Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 592 Clues
For this type of excavation, targeting on private property is one of the worst problems anyone can encounter in a search.

Because in this case, if you want to excavate, you must obtain the permission of the owner of the land, and in this case, once you meet some kind of strange owner, you can't move forward at all.

Fortunately, it is not so difficult to find that location in the Internet age. After a simple search, they found the location of the manor.

According to the information they found, this manor has been abandoned for more than 200 years, and now it is almost a pile of ruins, but it is still a private territory.

The good news is that although it is a private territory, the owner of the territory found out after some inquiries that it belonged to a certain member of the Golden Dawn, and Liang En also knew this person.

"I didn't expect this manor to belong to your family." After arriving at the manor around London the next day, Liang En looked at Nelson who was already waiting here and shook hands and said.

In fact, Nelson is the one Liang En contacts the most in the current Golden Dawn. Although they meet less frequently, they are young people who are not many in the Golden Dawn, and they often communicate on the Internet and share some interesting things.

"In fact, if you hadn't called us, our family would have almost forgotten about this ancient manor." Nelson said after shaking hands with Liang En.

"This manor should be the oldest property in my family, but it was abandoned for a series of reasons after World War II."

"Later, the manor became part of a series of tree plantations around London, so it was exempt from various estate taxes, so we even gradually forgot about the manor until you called me before."

After speaking, Nelson led them through the dilapidated iron gate to the main building of the manor, chatting while walking.

"You said earlier that this place has some treasure hidden in the cellar of the manor? But we've never heard of it, especially since we checked the place before it was abandoned."

"It doesn't have to be a treasure, it just means that there are 50 barrels hidden in the cellar." Liang En explained the details to Nelson. "But it is definitely not something ordinary that can be written specifically by the Jesuits."

"But what I can confirm is that no gold, silver or jewelry has ever been excavated from this manor since its establishment. Even the simplest gold and silver coins and house money have never been found." Nelson shook his head.

"Especially in places like the cellar where things might be hidden, my ancestors even conducted a special exploration, but unfortunately nothing was found."

"But you said that there are hidden things in this manor. I don't think it's strange. After all, this manor has a history of at least seven or eight hundred years. It's not strange to really want to hide some little secrets."

This manor is built on a flat land, about [-] to [-] hectares, and the height of the whole manor seems to be no more than two meters.In the past, this place should have been a very good manor, able to produce all kinds of agricultural products,
However, as the manor was abandoned and then converted into a shelter belt, human traces were gradually erased by nature, and only a small number of ruins survived.

After asking Nelson, Liang En and the others confirmed that there were roughly three target locations, two of which were ordinary cellars used to store materials, and the other was a wine cellar in the past.

However, Nelson also said that when his family took over the place, there were only two cellars left. As for the third wine cellar, they only knew about it, but they had never seen it.

"This is a facility in your family's manor. How could it be possible that you have never seen it before?" Liang En felt a little puzzled by Nelson's statement, because the wine cellar was also considered an important facility of the manor, so it would be a bit strange if you didn't pay attention.

In particular, although the Nelson family is well-known in history, the wealth accumulated by their family is not very large. Obviously, there should not be much wealth at the level of a manor.

Considering that ordinary people will look at all the rooms when buying a house, it is basically impossible for the Nelson family not to study this important property carefully.

"Don't look at me, I really don't know about this." Nelson shook his head. "Because the manor has a long history, we only know that the wine cellar exists, but it's really unclear where the wine cellar is."

"The reason for this is that the surface buildings in the manor were built after our family acquired them. When our family came here, they only found the foundation and two cellars, but never found the wine cellar."

"Then you didn't know about this when you handed over?" Professor Alexander stepped forward to ask at this time, "Whether in ancient times or now, when real estate is handed over, it must be handed over one by one."

"But we really don't know." Nelson said with a sigh. "This manor is actually an estate bestowed on our family by the royal family, but the royal attendant at that time only mentioned that there was a buried wine cellar, but did not say where it was."

"Well, it seems that I can only find it slowly by myself." After hearing what Nelson said, Professor Alexander sighed, because a wine cellar that has been buried for hundreds of years is definitely not easy to find.

To give the simplest example, an abandoned wine cellar that is landfilled will most likely not contain much metal, which means that it is basically impossible to search with a metal detector.

At the same time, after such a long time, the wine cellar has basically disappeared even if there are ground buildings, so the layers of accumulation are definitely the biggest obstacle for them to find the wine cellar.

After sighing, they entered the working state, but after only a few hours, they confirmed that there was absolutely nothing in the two known cellars.

To be honest, if it was a small thing, they would suspect that they might have missed something, but it is definitely not that easy to hide the 50 wooden barrels of the Age of Discovery.

"It seems that the problem has come back to the matter of finding the wine cellar." Liang En, who was eating lunch with a disheveled face, concluded the search work in the morning.

"We have always wanted to avoid such work, but we didn't expect the situation to slip in the worst direction now. It is not so easy to find a wine cellar that has disappeared for at least 200 years on this land .”

"Sorry, I really can't help you with this." Nelson scratched his hair helplessly and said, "I asked my housekeeper to help me find information about our family, but there is indeed no information about the old wine cellar."

"However, this search also allowed us to find some more important information, such as the survey work on the geological environment of the entire manor, which may be useful to you."

"Thank you." Hearing what Nelson said, Liang En immediately used the computer he carried with him to check the data. Sure enough, the data were all investigation reports on the geology of the entire manor.

Although these reports are made from an agricultural point of view, there are many clues in them that can be used as clues in the search for the hidden wine cellar.
