I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 66 Treasure Hunt

Since the famous explorer Columbus traveled across the ocean four times in 1492 and traveled to the Americas for treasure hunting expeditions, treasure hunting, an exciting and adventurous activity, has become a fashion. The sunken ship of the "Titanic" was found, and the priceless jewels, gold and silver were like a hot wind, which set off an unprecedented treasure hunting boom in the world.

Regardless of China or foreign countries, as long as any treasure map appears occasionally, it will arouse countless joys, angers, sorrows and joys of treasure hunters.

In recent years, there has been another wave of treasure hunting in the UK, attracting many treasure hunters from home and abroad to join. Some American tourists have even traveled thousands of miles to sign up for treasure hunts, just to find ancient Roman coins and various ancient treasures left behind.

Most people are attracted by Britain's long history and are keen to find Roman, medieval and Bronze Age artifacts. . .

Different from the countries where all the relics are handed over, many countries passed laws early on to grant the right to claim remuneration for discoverers of relics, buried objects, hidden objects, etc., and clarified the proportion of the bonus to the total value.

Most Western countries generally stipulate that if a thing is found in one's own land or movable property, it belongs to oneself; if a hidden or hidden thing is found in other people's land or movable property, the discoverer and the owner will each get half.

As for family treasures, this mainly stems from an ancient custom in Western civilization, which is to bury some items, such as grains, newspapers, coins, etc., before major events occur or important buildings are laid, and are used to convey to uncertain people. Send some kind of message in the future. Later, the concept of buried objects was expanded, and objects representing human knowledge and achievements would also be buried in the ground, to be opened thousands of years later. Today's time capsule changes originated from this.

A time capsule can be said to be a postal package from the present self to the future. The postal time is the time specified by oneself. It can only be opened after the specified time is up, and some people will be designated to open it. The content of the time capsule can be what you want to say to yourself, friends, lovers, family members, or anyone else.

"The treasures in this world are not necessarily made of gold and silver. Most people's "treasure hunt" often doesn't know what they are looking for..."

Arthur looked at the simple and even ridiculous treasure map in his hand, shaking his head and laughing with emotion.

"Actually, treasure hunting games attract the attention of the puzzles themselves. The fun and sense of accomplishment in solving puzzles are the treasure hunters' pursuit goals." Paul, the butler beside him, said with a smile, his eyes suddenly became a little sad, as if he was missing something He continued: "I still remember the joyful scene of finding a trace of clues with your father at the beginning, the feeling of unraveling the dust-laden mystery in the long river of history and finding the answer is really unforgettable, although , we didn’t find any valuable treasures in the end.”

"Hehe, you didn't use professional treasure hunting tools such as metal detectors before?" Arthur picked up a notebook again, rummaged through the treasure map inside, looked at Paul with a smile and raised his eyebrows.

The housekeeper Paul shook his head slightly, "When there is no harvest for many times in a row, it is a waste of time to continue. The treasure hunt is just a game after all. Instead of pinning on those extravagant hopes that may not exist, it is better to create wealth down-to-earth."

"If I don't try, I won't give up!"

"Hehe, the world is really amazing. Your father said the same thing back then. I can only say, I wish you a happy treasure hunt and enjoy the process." Paul the housekeeper looked at Arthur kindly, and seemed to see the young man in a daze. The old earl at that time did not stop his interest in hitting Arthur's treasure hunt. Although he knew that it was just a waste of time, it could deepen the young earl's feelings for Boleyn Manor and his sense of belonging to the family. In Paul's view, , has all benefits but no harm.

"Yes, first of all, I need to buy a set of professional treasure hunting tools, and then I need the latitude and longitude of the manor..." Arthur was looking forward to his treasure hunt very much. Treasures found in country manors,

The Boleyn Manor, which has been passed down for hundreds of years and has never been interrupted, naturally has hope.

"Latitude and longitude?" Paul the housekeeper was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Arthur with some doubts.

"Yes." Arthur smiled confidently, raised a notebook in his hand and said, "If I follow these treasure pictures, I'm afraid I can only search the whole manor, but now is the age of technology... "

As he spoke, Arthur stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky, and continued to smile: "There are satellites in the sky, just input the latitude and longitude on a certain song map, and the satellite map will appear. The aerial view of Boleyn Manor is clear at a glance. According to these Compare it with the 'treasure map', and you can roughly delineate an area, so you don't have to wander around like headless flies!"

The butler Paul looked at the confident smiling face of the young earl in astonishment. This was really beyond his expectation and beyond his common sense, but it was really simple and convenient. . .

"Hehe, it seems that I really can't keep up with the times..."

Seeing the wry smile on the butler Paul's face and listening to his emotions, Arthur smiled and comforted him: "You just lost interest in treasure hunting and didn't think about it."

Regarding the comfort of the young earl, the butler Paul just smiled, with bright lights in his eyes, and said, "Lord, maybe you can really find something."

"Hehe, I hope!"

Arthur also smiled happily.

After afternoon tea, Arthur sat in front of the computer, found the satellite map of Boleyn Manor, saved it and printed it out, lay down on the desk, and began to concentrate on comparing those simple treasure maps with the bird's-eye view of Boleyn Manor. Carrying out terrain comparison, hoping to find out the area where these treasure maps are located from above.

If the butler Paul didn’t appear again to remind him that it’s time for dinner, Arthur would still focus on comparing the maps. I have to say that time flies by when you focus on one thing. However, concentration also makes people happy, and there is no time for worries. .

After a few hours, there was not much to gain, especially the treasure map that Arthur valued most was left by his ancestor Earl Thomas during the Armada. This was the treasure map that Arthur had the greatest hope for. , because when I was in Dunsford Village before, the housekeeper Paul jokingly said that after the death of Countess Thomas, many of her exquisite jewelry disappeared.

This is also the main reason why Arthur thought of playing the 'treasure hunt'. For hundreds of years, this manor has staged scenes of grievances and hatreds, just like TV drama stories. Maybe in a certain corner, just stay Dropped some collectibles.

Of course, Arthur didn't expect to find any treasure right away, that would be too dramatic, and the treasure hunt was a long game in his opinion, and it was useless to be impatient.

So after eating dinner, taking a short rest and relaxing, and talking on the phone with Emilia who was off the night shift, I went back to the bedroom, took the Italian salt bath, and went to bed.

A good night's dream, the next morning, after breakfast, Arthur asked the housekeeper Paul to drive him back to the city of Southampton again. Arthur has always been the kind of character who doesn't like to be procrastinated, and he does it when he thinks of it, and, The schedule at Southampton is packed.
