Treasure hunt begins in England

623 Threat
"Sorry, this is indeed our mistake." After Chairman Charles finished speaking, the middle-aged male person in charge of the auction said with an apologetic face. "We'll get that sorted out pretty quickly."

For the auction side, this is definitely a big mistake, especially since this crown can be regarded as the finale of the auction in the first half, theoretically there shouldn't be so many problems.

Therefore, after confirming the news brought by Liang En and the others, they quickly organized an investigation into the interior of the auction and the merchant who provided the auction item, and began a large-scale traceability work on this item.

As the top auction in the UK and even in Western Europe, the organizers had a huge amount of resources and manpower at their disposal, so Liang En and the others had just finished drinking a cup of tea when the auction brought information about the crown.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Charles, there are indeed some problems with this crown. We will refund your auction fee and pay 20.00% of the compensation." After a young man came in and said a few words in the person in charge's ear, the person in charge stood up and said.

"Can I ask what happened?" Mr. Charles asked curiously, "Of course, if it's not convenient for you to tell me, you don't have to tell me."

"Well—it's not inconvenient to tell you, as long as you don't publicize it in public." The person in charge said with a smile, "We can confirm that the diamonds and gems on this thing are of unknown origin."

"When you informed me of this matter just now, we conducted further investigations on these things, and found that there was a problem with the certificates of the gemstones. Most of the certificates came from an appraiser who has a special relationship with the jeweler."

After detailed investigation, the organizer of the auction found a suspicious point, that is, the appraiser of C.DUNAIGRE, a Swiss gem consulting agency, and the jeweler were both Eastern Europeans who immigrated to the UK as children, and the two have always maintained contact.

This is a completely non-compliant matter. The avoidance principle is an international principle, so theoretically it is impossible to issue a test report, let alone a wrong test report like this.

"This is the worst thing since our auction was held. It can even be said to be a huge scandal." The person in charge of the auction shook his head and said, then looked at Liang En and the others. "But I assure you that this is just an accident."

"I hope so." Chairman Charles shook his head and said. "But don't worry, I will keep this matter a secret for you."

Because of such a incident, Liang En and the others were naturally not very interested in the auction in the afternoon.Fortunately, there were not many people interested in those alchemist manuscripts, so Liang En finally bought the manuscript at a price of 37000 euros.

Not all auction items in this kind of auction are very expensive. Although the expensive auction items are the mainstream, there are also some special auction items that exist to satisfy some people's special hobbies.

The price of these things in terms of money is not high, and the profit is even higher, but in order to attract more people to participate in the auction, even if they know that they will lose money sometimes, they will put those things on the auction.

But it was a bargain for Liang En, who let him buy this thing at a price that was at least [-]% cheaper than the outside auction.

"This should be a note left by a warlock in the Renaissance era. It's a pity that the recorder's name was not left on it, but judging from the content, it should be a master alchemist." Liang En said immediately after returning to the room. Study the notes.

"From the perspective of alchemy, there were very few alchemists in that era who could achieve the level of the master of this notebook. So this should be the content left by a master.

"It seems that you have a good eye." Jeanne smiled and said, "It's a pity that I can't understand these contents at all, otherwise I can understand your excitement now."

"Dong dong dong—" Just as Liang En and the others were celebrating this harvest, there was a sudden knock on the door. After opening the door, they found a hotel waiter outside. "We don't seem to have called room service, what can I do for you?"

Liang En looked at the waiter and asked, with a curious expression on his face.Because the waiters in this kind of top hotel generally don't take the initiative to disturb those guests.

"I saw a letter at your door, is this for you?" The waiter nodded politely, then took out a letter and handed it to Liang En and the others.

"What?" Liang En looked down at the letter. He really didn't know when it was placed at his door. He and Jeanne were talking just now, and the carpet at the door was very thick, so he really didn't know. No one heard anyone passing by the door.

Such a letter naturally aroused Liang En's interest, because it was absolutely impossible for normal letters to be thrown directly at the door of other people's rooms like now.

"Who do you think will send us a letter in this way?" After the waiter closed the door and left, Joan looked at the letter on the table with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know, but I think this is definitely not a good thing." Liang En frowned as he looked at the letter, because under normal circumstances no one would use this method to deliver letters.

For safety's sake, Liang En used a card to perform a divination to confirm that the letter was not in danger, and then carefully opened the envelope of the letter with a tool.

"Huh?" After opening the envelope, a thumb-sized piece of metal fell out of it with a crisp sound. It turned out that a small piece of surgical blade fell out of the envelope.

"Could it be that someone is urging the update?" After seeing the blade, Jeanne of Arc asked with a teasing expression on her face, and the word urging the update was also used in very accurate Mandarin.

After coming to this world, it seems to be to make up for the lack of knowledge in the previous life, so now I am working hard to learn everything I am interested in from Liang En.

Various languages ​​are naturally one of Joan's favorite contents. For example, recently she is learning Chinese in addition to learning several ancient languages.

The reason for choosing Chinese is also very simple. On the one hand, it is because this language is far more versatile than other languages ​​on a historical scale, and on the other hand, it is Liang En’s mother tongue.

Of course, learning a new language is not easy, especially one whose linguistic tradition is very different from that of one's own mother tongue. Fortunately, it was not difficult for Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc's not-so-low intellectual foundation plus repeated strengthening can now be called a genius, at least several times faster than normal people in terms of language learning speed.

For example, now she has learned English, German and Spanish, and mastered at least [-]% of ancient Egyptian, and is now learning Spanish and Chinese.

Naturally, it is impossible to learn a language simply through textbooks, so Joan of Arc will naturally use other things to learn, such as Huaxia's online novels, so she knows some popular memes on Huaxia's Internet.

"I don't think so." Liang En carefully took out the paper inside the envelope with a large tweezers, and then his face suddenly became ugly.

Because there is a blood-red handprint on this piece of paper, and at the same time, it is written in crooked English at the bottom: "Don't mind your own business, or you and your family will be next."
