Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

When Liang En used the repair skill before, it was the first time that Liang En saw that completely unscientific power displayed in front of his eyes. But compared with that skill, the current skill called Hellfire is more than one level stronger.

He had seen the profile of his career as a historical explorer, which specifically stated that the power possessed by this profession at this stage could convert the information condensed in time into energy, and then project it into the real world in a way that modern people could not understand.

But at that time, he thought at most that it was a simple power operation similar to code deciphering or item repair. He never thought that he could actually control flames like the legendary magicians or even gods.

However, after calming down from the excitement of mastering the new skill, Liang En also discovered that although this skill looked very cool, it actually didn't have much value.

Compared with firearms, the range of the Greek Fire skill, whether it is jetting flames or projecting fireballs, is obviously much shorter, and it is easier to reveal one's position.

Even excluding long-range weapons such as firearms, this Greek fire-throwing device is more than one and a half points behind its modern counterparts.

For example, this Greek Fire flamethrower, which looks to be more than half the size of a minivan, can only spray flames 18 meters away. But during World War II, Germany's individual flamethrowers could spit flames up to 35 meters away.

Therefore, Liang En felt that unless he encountered enemies in an emergency or needed to clear some tunnels or caves, this skill would be basically useless.

"But no matter what, this skill is still popular enough." Even though he realized that this skill is not very practical today, Liang En was still very happy. After all, whether you are strong or not is a matter of version, and whether you are handsome or not is a matter of life.

And compared with the repair skill that must avoid people when used, the skill of Greek Fire can be used openly as magic, and the restrictions on its use are much smaller.

After settling the questions about this new skill and getting a card that could be said to be relatively powerful, Liang En began to prepare some popular science lectures on history and archeology.

In fact, on the third day after he returned, the National Museum of Ireland sent him an invitation letter, hoping that he could go to the museum to give a lecture about this discovery.

After all, Liang En is now a scholar, so he is often invited to participate in some social activities, such as accepting invitations from the National Museum to give lectures.

Most of these social activities are of a public welfare nature. Not only do you not earn a penny each time you participate in such activities, you even sometimes need to pay for travel expenses and meals.

But these things are linked to social status. Since you enjoy the benefits brought by certain statuses, you naturally need to bear corresponding obligations. After all, there is no free lunch in this world.

Fortunately, compared with those papers, this kind of article that mainly targets ordinary people to popularize science is a little simpler. So after spending a day writing the manuscript, he called the museum and made an appointment to give a lecture there early the next morning.

The speech went very smoothly, but he felt a little overwhelmed by the various strange questions raised by the children who came to visit during the free question and answer period.

Fortunately, the personnel sent by the museum had sufficient experience in dealing with this situation, so Liang Encai was able to barely resist the children's unrestrained questions without making a fool of himself on the spot.

"I really want to trouble you this time, Mr. Liang." After the speech, a deputy director of the museum came to the lounge and said to Liang En, "I am really glad that you can accept our invitation."

"This is what I should do. After all, cultivating people's love for archeology and history is as important as archeology itself." Liang En said with a smile.

Compared with those veteran archaeologists or historians, Liang En is still too young and has much less qualifications. Therefore, if you want to improve your reputation in this area, it is naturally essential to do more public welfare activities of this type.

Because it was already past meal time after the event, the museum provided Liang En with a free lunch in the attached restaurant.

While eating, he got a lot of news about recent antiques in Dublin and surrounding areas from the museum staff.

"I heard that a collector in Chinatown recently passed away, and his children decided to sell the collection for cash in order to share the inheritance equally." A staff member in charge of acquisitions said to Liang En.

"The acquisitions department of the museum looked at them before, but those things were not very suitable for the museum, so we gave up. But these things are not bad for a private collection."

The staff of these museums naturally knew that Liang En had the identity of a treasure hunter, so at this time they consciously revealed this type of information to bring the relationship closer between the two parties.

Compared with other methods of bringing the two parties closer, using this information to build relationships is naturally the most cost-effective for the museum. After all, this kind of information is very important to Liang En, but it is difficult for him to collect it.

For the museum, the difficulty of collecting this information is naturally much easier than that of Liang En. At the same time, the museum that has no intention of participating in the procurement naturally does not have to worry about any disadvantages caused to itself by the leakage of this information.

So after leaving the museum, Liang En took the bus straight to Parnell Street. Although there is no official Chinatown in Ireland, Parnell Street, where the Chinese live, is actually the de facto Chinatown. This is the place the clerk was talking about before.

According to museum staff, the family had been selling these items for some time. Unfortunately, Ireland is not the UK after all, and not many people are willing to come and buy.

Originally, this group of people hoped to package and entrust them to auction houses, but the quality of their items could not attract big auction houses. And the prices at small auction houses are very low.

Soon, Liang En took the bus and arrived at the intersection of this street. Although this is in fact Chinatown, it does not have a Chinese-style archway as an entrance sign like San Francisco or London.

From a distance, there is not much difference between this street and the surrounding streets. The whole street is made of three or four-story red brick buildings that are common in Dublin, or five or six-story buildings painted with white paint or cream. Yellow painted apartment building.

However, when you step into this neighborhood, you will find that both sides of the street are full of advertising light boxes in Chinese and English. Whether it is a supermarket, restaurant or Internet cafe, you can say that you have everything.

However, after walking into the street, he did not go directly to the residence of the collector surnamed Li. Instead, he turned a corner and came to the outside of a splendid restaurant. He raised his head. The four characters "Fan's Restaurant" were written on the door plaque of the restaurant.

That's right, Fan Meng's restaurant is right here. Liang En had already made an appointment with Fan Meng on the bus just now, and was going to invite him to go to the collector named Li.

In addition, Fan Meng's family immigrated here for a relatively long time, so Liang En also planned to ask them about the details of the collector surnamed Li.
