Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 632 Special Cargo
The new store of Emerald Thrift Store in Knightsbridge is not large. It is a traditional Victorian-style two-story red brick house. The appearance of the small building looks the same as many residential buildings in old London.

Although the whole store can only be seen from a bronze plate of A4 paper size on the side of the gate, it is a commercial building, but the decoration style of the whole area fits perfectly.

With the sound of an old bell, the door opened, and Pierce quickly opened the door of the room to let Liang En into the room, and then led him to the warehouse on the second floor.

"What's the situation now." Liang En asked Pierce while following him up the old staircase, "And what exactly are your things?"

"The business is really good now, I think it's mainly because your reputation is so famous in this respect." Pierce shrugged and said.

"The prestige our family has accumulated over the past hundred years is not even as high as yours in just a few years, but this is not a bad thing. This is very beneficial for us to open up business in this rich area."

No matter which country you are in, the main customers of the antique, cultural and play industry come from those rich people, so it is very meaningful to move the store into the rich area.

At the same time, because of the prestige Liang En had accumulated before, these wealthy customers who lacked sufficient professional skills were more willing to choose shops related to him to buy these things.

Of course, this is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that these reputations will naturally help this brand new store gain a foothold in this place. The bad thing is that they are under greater pressure. Once a major problem occurs, it will definitely be fatal.

So Pierce was very nervous during this period, because he was worried that if he accidentally smashed the sign one day, he would drag his family and his friends along the way.

So today he called Liang En not only to see what he found, but also to chat with Liang En to relax his tense nerves a little.

"This is what I bought recently. Although there are several people who came to sell it before, I can see that most of these things should come from a relic."

After coming upstairs, Pierce opened a box and said.Inside the box are small acrylic boxes, and the cushions of each box are filled with metal fragments, which look inconspicuous.

"Let me see—" Liang En stepped forward to pick up a box and then opened the lid, only to find that the box contained two bronze nails full of green rust.

After taking a closer look, Liang En found that although the bronze nail was stained and stained with rust, traces of patterns and gold plating could be vaguely seen showing its former glory.

"This thing should be some kind of textile decoration." After putting on his gloves and taking out the thing to observe for a few minutes, Liang En quickly came to a conclusion.

"And judging from the style and exquisite workmanship of these gilded copper nails, these things should come from an ancient Roman officer of middle rank or above."

"Where did you see that?" After hearing Liang En's words, Pierce asked curiously. "I looked at it for a long time before, but I didn't see any information about it at all."

"From the coat of arms on it, you can see that it has the sun, the moon and the stars, and traditionally these symbols represent Mithraism, which was very popular during the Roman Empire."

As someone who had dug the Sun Cave before, the cards he had obtained before gave him a good understanding of the ancient religion of Mithraism, so he could naturally see the meaning of the symbols on these copper buttons.

"Can you tell me about the people who sold these things before? I'm a little interested in this group, because they probably found something very important."

Liang En said after checking all these things.Because after looking at all these things, he found that they were all consumables like armor fragments, weapon fragments or arrows.

To know that so many weapons and equipment can be excavated in an area can only explain two possibilities, either this place is an arsenal, or it is an ancient battlefield.

Now Liang En is more inclined to the second option, because there are quite a few weapon fragments with traces of physical damage, which means that these things are likely to be completely destroyed in the war.

In addition to the ancient Roman weapons, Liang En also found a fragment of a helmet that was not in the Roman style. If there is no mistake, this fragment should belong to an elite Celtic warrior at that time.

In other words, these armor and weapons should have come from an ancient battlefield. Unfortunately, the number of these samples is too small and too complicated, so that Liang En is unable to conduct a detailed investigation at all.

After using a [Identification (N)] card on a Roman-style helmet fragment, Liang En learned that the helmet fragment came from Nero Claudius Drew, the last emperor of the Julia-Claudian dynasty The age of Seuss Germanicus.

The Julia-Claudian dynasty was formed by the founder of the Roman Empire, Octavian, and his family. It was also the first dynasty of the Roman Empire, but the last emperor of this dynasty was also a notorious generation of tyrants.

For example, the most famous legend about this emperor is that he created the famous Great Fire in Rome, but according to today's historians, although this emperor was cruel, he was not so perverted. A lot of dirty water was poured on him by later generations. body.

The reason for this is purely that the emperor vigorously suppressed Christianity during his tenure, so in the future, when European Christianity becomes the mainstream, he will naturally vigorously pour dirty water on him.

In addition, Liang En also knew that this helmet did not come from the Italian mainland in ancient Rome, but from Lundnim, which is today's British capital London.

At that time, the southern part of England was also the territory of the ancient Roman Empire, and London was the largest settlement of the Romans on the British Treasure at that time, so naturally there were arsenals producing various weapons and equipment.

"—Those diggers are not a group of professional diggers." Just as Liang En used cards on these items, Pierce began to tell stories about the people who sold these items.

He is quite familiar with handling such incidents. After all, their family has been in this industry for more than a hundred years, and the accumulated experience allows him to see something naturally.

"From my judgment point of view, those people are likely to be some local criminal groups who accidentally discovered this secret, and at the same time they don't know the internal situation of the archaeological community at all."

The reason why Pierce said this was because those people sold things to him, and now anyone in the whole of Britain who has a little knowledge of this business will know Liang En's attitude towards those illegal items.

"Will the other party sell the things to other shops?" Liang En asked nervously, because he was worried that these people would spread and sell these precious items to many places. If so, it would definitely be troublesome in the later stage.

"No, this is selling stolen goods. The rules are different from ordinary people selling goods." Pierce shook his head and confirmed, "For them, they can ship as much as possible to minimize the possibility of being discovered. sex."
