Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 733 Clues
Basel-stadt is the smallest canton in Switzerland, but also the most densely populated.It is also traditionally called "half state".

It is located in the western part of Switzerland and was once an urban part of the canton of Basel.But in 1833, due to the urban-rural war, it was divided into two and a half states, Basel (city) in the north and Basel (township) in the south.

The state is located at the tri-junction on the Upper Rhine, bordering France to the west and Germany to the north.Basel is the core city in the northwestern region of Switzerland, the bridgehead from the German-speaking part of Switzerland to the European Union, and the only river port in Switzerland leading to the sea.

In addition to water transport, the European railway north-south trunk line and east-west artery cross here.Basel, Mulhouse and Freiburg EuroAirports have direct access to European and world aviation networks.

The convenient transportation facilitated Liang En and his group's actions, allowing them to easily reach the city and then go straight to Basel Cathedral.

Although they come here with some errands to do, they prefer to take a little tour of the city before getting to work.

This cathedral is a red sandstone Gothic building. It is not unique in Europe where there are many churches, but its charm is all in the details. In summer, the red building fits perfectly with the grove next to the church.

In particular, there is a large piece of glass inlaid on the edge of a passage in the church, and standing at the window, you can see the Rhine River passing through the city through the glass, and feel the perfect fusion of human landscape and natural landscape.

Because the church is located on a high ground, the platform behind the church is an excellent place to take pictures. Here you can have a panoramic view of the Rhine River, the city of Little Basel on the opposite bank and the Black Forest Mountains in Germany farther away.

Of course, this is also a good place to take pictures. For example, Liang En and Joan of Arc took a lot of group photos with selfie sticks.

After punching in the cards at the popular places in the city, Liang En and the others walked down the narrow path in front of the church, and then came to the City Hall Square.

Different from the deserted church square just now, small vendors gather in front of the city hall square, which looks like a lively market, and the antique shop is opened on the side of the market, which looks quite smoky.

But then again, the antique shop that sells grilled sausages and muffins in front of the door looks a bit weird anyway. After all, it is always a bit strange to look at antiques while smelling the smell of barbecue and sweet aroma.

But in any case, the situation at the destination did not prevent Liang En and the others from taking action, and soon the two passed through the tourists on the square and walked into this not-so-large shop.

The middle-aged man who greeted them both had a long beard and hair and looked more like an artist than an antique store owner.

"So it was my mother who introduced you here." The middle-aged man said after seeing Liang En and the others took out the business card. "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"We want to know where this box and the coins in it come from." Liang En said as he took out the box he bought earlier and opened it, pointing to the pile of coins inside.

"Let me think about it—" Looking at the dusty box in front of him, the shopkeeper thought for a while and took out a notebook from under the cabinet and flipped through it.

Liang En observed the shop while the other party was flipping through the documents. Like most small antique shops, the shop was packed to the brim and looked very historic.

After careful observation, Liang En found that although the shop looked a bit messy, it was actually not.From a professional point of view, these things can be said to be miscellaneous but not chaotic, and the classification is extremely neat.

It is a pity that to do this requires those users to have a deep understanding of antiques and history, so it is not so easy. For example, the emerald thrift store in the past could not do this at all.

"It seems that the owner of this store is indeed a person with a story." Liang En nodded after inspecting the antique store roughly, and at this moment, the owner finally found what he was looking for.

"The origin of my item, this item came from this city, and was sent to me by an amateur treasure hunter." The boss pointed to a line on the record.

"As for the identity of the other party, we don't know. From the appearance of those two people, they should not be locals, but treasure hunters in Europe."

"Oh, so that's the case." Liang En nodded. After all, he had done the job of being a treasure hunter before, and this kind of job really required the whole of Europe.

Back then, he didn't run away purely because he loved his family more, and because he didn't know many people in the European continent, so he limited his footsteps to the three islands of Britain instead of going to the European continent.

As for getting the card, he quickly got rid of the initial embarrassment, so naturally he didn't travel all over Europe like many predecessors in this industry did odd jobs all the way.

Although it is now impossible to find out the identity of the other party, and then find out where the other party is carrying out the excavation work.But one thing to be thankful for is that the antique shop clearly remembers the time when the other party concluded the deal.

"This thing should have been sold to me two weeks ago, and judging from the condition of the box at that time, it took them no more than two hours to dig it out." The store manager nodded and said.

"So if I'm not wrong, the other party should have dug this box in this city, and the place should be some distance from the river."

It is too easy for a professional antique shop owner to guess this point. After all, judging the location of the unearthed items from the mud carried above should be regarded as the basic skill of professionals.

But for normal human beings, there is not much difference between the presence and absence of this clue. After all, this city has a lot of land besides the river, and it is almost impossible to find the target from it.

Fortunately, Liang En was not an ordinary person. After getting all the clues from the shopkeeper and leaving, he quickly found a chair in the square and sat down, then used a [Appraisal (R)].

As the card was used, Liang En quickly adjusted the time to three days forward based on the shipping time, then observed, and soon he found the excavation site of this thing.

"I think I know what to do next." After finishing the work, Liang En said to Joan with a smile, and then rented a bicycle and rode towards the target location.

These bicycles come from a company in Huaxia, and they are really convenient to use.The only bad thing is that the city's terrain is not flat, so it is still very troublesome to ride up and down hills.

Finally, after riding for 20 minutes, they came to the bottom of a small hill on the edge of the city.The hillside is a small park covered with vegetation, but the remains of the stone walls hidden in the vegetation can still be seen.

"The excavation site of the other party is right next to the wreckage." Liang En frowned after seeing the appearance of the land, "But it is not easy to excavate this place, at least it is difficult to apply for a permit. "
