Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Chapter 129 A strange combination of circumstances

Sure enough, as Liang En hammered and knocked, he discovered that there was a piece of wood just inlaid in the wooden board above the box. After using a knife to pry open the board, a note appeared inside.

"Show this scroll to the front desk of the British Library who is wearing a golden hourglass badge on his chest. He will give you the next clue."

"Sure enough, this is just a game." After reading the content on the note, Liang En smiled and said, "It is still different from our usual treasure hunting."

"You are right." Fan Meng nodded, then looked at the scroll curiously, "By the way, what is written on this scroll?"

"A poem that looks a little strange, but actually it should be the next instructions written in cryptic language." Liang En picked up the scroll and smiled. Then he raised his hand. Soon old Mike came over with a photographer.

"Congratulations to you for being the first to solve the puzzle in the box." Old Mike held up the microphone and said to Liang En. "Then you can act alone, and the photographer Hans will follow you."

"Understood, please stop the car now." Liang En nodded and said. Soon, the car stopped on the side of the road, and then Liang En, Fan Meng and the photographer named Hans jumped out of the car.

Because Liang En solved the puzzle very quickly before, they didn't go far from the city center now. Soon they were in a taxi heading straight to the British Library.

Soon, they arrived at the door of a modern building with red walls and gray roof on the west side of King's Cross Station. Then I entered and found the front desk clerk.

And this also confirms the call Dr. Caldwell made before, that is, this event is not just organized by the YouTube up owner, but also has the active cooperation of many organizations.

After showing the scroll, the young female front desk clerk quickly took out a book. This is a reference book describing the British royal family through the ages.

"Okay, now let's talk about what the Latin puzzle is written on this scroll." After getting the reference book, Fan Meng looked at the scroll in Liang En's hand and asked.

"It says, if you want to find what you are looking for, go where the true king is. For only the king of kings can give you what you desire."

"Then there is this book." Liang En took out the book and said, "There is a page in this book that is folded, and this page is the chronology of the Stuart Dynasty."

"So based on the contents of this book, the target we are looking for should be located in a palace used by the Stuart Dynasty."

"But I saw that the last page of this book also has signs of being dog-eared -" Fan Meng said after flipping through the book. "And what is recorded on that page is about Queen Victoria, the most famous king of the Hanoverian Dynasty."

"Let's look for the one in front first." After being reminded by Fan Meng, Liang En read through the book and then said. "The stamp on this book indicates that it is a retired book from the British Library, so it is normal for someone to dog-ear it."

So under Liang En's decision, they took a bus and went straight to Hampton Palace, which is more than 20 kilometers away from central London, because the most commonly used palace in the Stuart Dynasty was Hampton Court Palace. Dayton Palace.

Before setting off, Liang En summoned the three ravens that had grown into ravens through the soul connection, and then let them stand on the roof of the car and went to Hampton Court Palace with him.

But what Liang En didn't know was that when they boarded the bus, Old Mike, who had been watching the live broadcast, had a shocked expression on his face.

"Boss - I remember that according to the layout in that cardboard box, wouldn't Mr. Liang's team go to the gate of Buckingham Palace next?" The only screenwriter on the scene who knew all the layout looked at Old Mike with some confusion.

"There may be something wrong with that old book." Old Mike quickly reacted. "After all, we only asked the front desk staff to hand the books to the people who came with the scrolls, but we did not tell them that the dog-eared corners on the books had meaning and could not be moved."

"Then what should we do next?" the screenwriter looked at Old Mike nervously and asked. "Call Hans now and ask him to call Mr. Liang and the others back?"

"No, I won't call you back." After taking a look at the ratings on the computer screen, Old Mike made a decision.

"After all, no matter whether each group wins or loses, it is interesting to us, and everyone may also want to see a reversal such as amateurs defeating professionals, so it doesn't matter if Mr. Liang and others fail."

"And didn't the other party discover our real clue in the end? If the other party acted quickly, they wouldn't be far behind others after searching Hampton Court Palace and realizing something was wrong and then coming back."

Having said this, Old Mike shook his head gently, then looked at the screenwriter and asked. "Who else but you and me knows about dog-earing books?"

"There is no one else. We made these things ourselves. No one else knows what we did." The screenwriter shook his head.

"That's good, remember to keep this thing in your stomach." Old Mike looked at the screenwriter and said seriously. "That Mr. Liang is the person I spent a lot of favors and energy to specially invite. If we find out that there are mistakes on our side, we will be in trouble."

At this time, Liang En had already arrived at Hampton Court Palace in a car with Fan Meng and the cameraman, and then introduced the three ravens that flew to his shoulders and head to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Excuse me, why did you bring these ravens?" Hans asked, looking at the three ravens who looked very close to Liang En.

"Of course it's for the next search for clues." Liang En said, taking out the parchment scroll with Latin writing on it.

"Isn't it said here, the King of Kings?" he said, pointing to the line of words on the parchment. "I think the dual emphasis here should be a being that is just higher than the king, or a higher place that is purely geographical."

It seemed to Liang En that according to the prompts, the thing could only be placed in two places. Either on the roof above the throne room of this Tudor-style palace, or in the palace's attached chapel.

However, considering that if you put something in the room, it is likely to be accidentally taken away by someone in the daily process, the probability of putting that thing on the roof is higher.

Therefore, Liang En thought that if he took the scroll and went to the staff now. It is very likely that the other party will rent a drone to him and let him use the drone to pick up things from the roof.

Compared with drones, Liang En believes that sending his own ravens to work at this time should be more accurate and simpler. It can also avoid damage to cultural relics.

Sure enough, after a brief communication with the staff at Hampton Court Palace. The other party gave them permission for the raven to search the roof. In addition, an agreement was signed with him allowing him to take away the items searched from the roof.

For the staff at Hampton Court Palace, they have seen a lot of programs like this. So there is also a complete set of coping methods.

For example, Liang En's request to let his raven search on the roof is the easiest to agree to, because in their opinion, this kind of animal performance will not cause any harm to the cultural relics themselves. .
