Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 705 Plan
After confirming that everyone had left, Liang En and Joan of Arc immediately began to dig. Because there is no other reason, they can fully exert their inhuman physical strength.

Therefore, in just one day, Liang En and the others successfully cleaned up the 5-7cm layer of sand on the top, and exposed the situation below.

Under the sand is a layer of wood made of the same material as the previous door, but because it has been buried in the ground for decades, the wood has completely rotted and carbonized.

After these logs were easily shoveled away with a shovel, the completely rotten logs were finally seen.

With the help of a strong flashlight, Liang En and the others could clearly see the things at the bottom of the pit. At this moment, both Liang En and Joan showed shocked expressions.

"God, this is—" Looking at the silver bricks the size of city wall bricks that covered almost the entire ground in front of her, even Joan showed a shocked expression. "This is a silver brick!"

Although these things looked black, Liang En knew that they were formed after oxidation in the current humid and hot environment, so they were not normal silvery white.

After he and Joan of Arc pulled a silver brick out of the pit with the electric hoist that was left here before, Liang En immediately checked it.

Unlike the imagined situation, this silver brick is not the kind of bank silver brick. It looks very rough, without any words or numbers on it, and there are even honeycomb-shaped air bubble holes at the bottom.

From this point, it can be judged that the silver was not found from banks or certain financial institutions, but was directly re-melted from the plundered silver and cast into such large silver bricks.

The next step is to count the amount of silver. Fortunately, one of Liang Enduo's powers can form a space, so he can receive the silver into the space with a light touch.

But even so, it was not an easy task to collect all the silver. It took more than an hour for Liang En to use the card to collect all the silver.

The pit has a depth of about two meters and is basically filled with this kind of silver bricks. Only a platform made of mud in the corner has no silver bricks.

"We found a little more than 38m of silver." Liang En said to Joan of Arc who was waiting on the edge of the pit after bringing the last silver brick closer to the space. "About 400 tons."

"This is not a small amount of money." Joan of Arc smiled while standing on the edge of the pit. Although all countries have adopted the gold standard and silver is no longer a currency, it is still expensive as a precious metal with a wide range of uses.

As for the high probability that the silver was plundered from those Chinese families in Southeast Asia, those wealthy Chinese families have traditionally had the habit of hoarding silver, so they were naturally plundered after the devils invaded.

You know, except for the local sultans, kings and nobles, the rich people in Southeast Asia from ancient times to the present are basically Chinese, and some families have even lasted for hundreds of years.

In the hundreds of years of trade, even in the face of the maritime ban and the plunder of Western colonists, Chinese businessmen still have an absolute advantage in many industries.

Therefore, for the Japanese army who invaded Southeast Asia during World War II, they would naturally choose to plunder the wealth of those Chinese families as fuel for their war machines.

As for the fact that these silvers have not been discovered until today, it is also related to the fact that they are only silver. After all, the all-Japanese devils plundered thousands of tons of gold alone, so hundreds of tons of silver may not be considered the most important treasure in their eyes. .

So after those directly responsible devils went to meet Amaterasu, this secret escaped the search of the Japanese, Americans and Filipinos and has been preserved to this day.

But in any case, the silver now belongs to Liang En, but the biggest loss for him is that even if he adopts various tax avoidance schemes, he must hand over at least 1/4 of the silver.

Although I really don't want to pay it, I still have to pay this tax, because if I don't pay it, the time, experience, and risks required to legalize so many precious metals are not worth it.

"Okay, let's see what's inside this mound?" After sighing for a while about the silver that was about to be handed over, Liang En and the others began to dig up the mound in front of them.Soon, a touch of gold appeared in front of the two of them.

"Could it be a Buddha statue again?" Joan of Arc looked at this touch of gold and said a little depressed, because she had seen too many copper-plated Buddha statues before, which made her feel a little tired of this kind of thing.

"It's very possible." After cleaning up the surrounding dirt with a plastic shovel, Liang En felt that Joan's guess should be true, because he saw the spiral hair, which is a characteristic of Buddha statues.

Sure enough, as they dug, a life-size Buddha statue gradually emerged from the soil.As they had guessed before, this golden Buddha statue didn't look much different from the previous Buddha statues.

"What's wrong with the ghost? There must be a Buddha statue hidden in the ground." Looking at the Buddha statue, Joan even said the word devil in her unproficient Chinese.

Because there are so many Buddha statues on the ground just now, normal people should put all the Buddha statues together on the ground, instead of placing one or several Buddha statues separately in other places.

"Although all devils have problems, there are other reasons why this Buddha statue is here." Liang En looked at the Buddha statue in front of him and smiled, "Different from those gilded Buddha statues before, this one is made of pure gold."

"Pure gold!" Hearing what Liang En said, Joan of Arc froze. "You didn't lie to me, did you!"

"Of course I didn't lie to you. You only need to take a serious look and you will find the difference between pure gold and gilded gold." Liang En said with a smile, "It's just that it's absolutely troublesome to get this thing."

After all, this golden Buddha can be regarded as a national treasure, so even if there are laws, it is a question of whether the group of Filipinos are willing to abide by the laws they made.

Although according to Liang En's habit, he would return the things that were purely plundered during World War II to the victimized country, just like the way to deal with the cultural relics he found before, but he didn't want to pay too much extra in this regard.

"It's very simple to solve this problem, just change the location of discovery." Joan of Arc showed a smile. Her moral level is high, but she is definitely not rigid and dogmatic.

"We can do what we do with the silver and gold-plated bronze Buddha statues according to local regulations, but the golden Buddha can go to the high seas to make a fake relic and pretend it was salvaged."

For Joan of Arc, the most important thing is that these cultural relics looted by the invaders should be returned to their original owners, and it doesn't matter what method to take.

"You're right, this is indeed a good idea." Liang En also nodded.Because in terms of operability, with the backing of card skills, the whole process can be done seamlessly.

As for the follow-up finishing work, it is also very simple. After all, gold will not oxidize even if it is soaked in sea water. As for the fact that there are no traces of blisters, Liang En can say that he cleaned up the Buddha statue out of respect for religion.

Anyway, the statue will be sent directly back to its homeland, and in Cambodia, where Buddhism is the state religion, no one is going to take a close look at the situation.
