Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Considering the specific situation in the region, Liang En not only reported it to the local responsible department, but also uploaded everything he found to the Internet and made it public.

In addition, he also used a [Detection (N)] card to help him find the thing with the highest historical value in the entire cave.

As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that the thing with the highest historical value was not the account book that recorded the numerous crimes of the Japanese devils, but the rusty 1994-style saber.

Looking at this strange scene, Liang En quickly fell into thinking, because this kind of card found something with the highest historical value rather than the highest monetary value.

So under normal circumstances, the book that records a period of history should be more valuable than an ancient Japanese sword, but the current situation is obviously abnormal.

However, considering the reason for handing over the items to the local responsible person later, Liang En just looked at the knife with the help of a headlight, put down the knife and exited the cave, and then began to spread today's discovery as much as possible. .

When the person in charge of the area arrived one day later, the number of views on the incriminating evidence about the Japanese captured by Liang En had exceeded 100,000, and it was still growing.

After a simple negotiation, Liang En completed the handover of the items. According to local laws, these Filipinos paid Liang En 10,000 pesos, which is equivalent to a bonus of about 150 pounds.

In addition, at Liang En's request, the group asked their superiors for instructions, and then allowed Liang En to take away the rusty Japanese sword as a souvenir of the treasure hunt while taking photos for their files.

"Is there anything special about this knife?" Fan Meng asked curiously after walking back to the plantation. "The other party allowed one thing to be taken from that box as a souvenir. Why did you choose this rusty knife!"

"Because this knife is a little different." Liang En took out the knife and explained, "The blade of this knife and the knife attachment are not tightly integrated, which means that the knife and the knife attachment are not matching. "

"This was very common during World War II." Fan Meng raised his eyebrows and said. "I remember that many Japanese officers at that time were samurai, so they would carry samurai swords left by their families on the battlefield."

"You are right, but the problem is that if it is the kind of knife that has been modified, the blade and the blade will be very tightly combined, instead of being loose like it is now." Liang En said, holding the blade with two fingers. Shake it gently.

As Liang En exerted slight force, the entire knife blade visibly shook. Obviously, this cannot happen under normal circumstances, because the shaking blade cannot cause damage to the target at all.

Especially for those who carry family heirloom swords to the battlefield, this loose assembly method can easily cause damage to the knife, which is obviously not conducive to the protection of the knife.

"This is indeed a bit strange." Fan Meng looked at the shaking blade and said, "If the owner of this sword is really a descendant of a warrior, it is difficult to imagine that the other party would ruin the symbol of the family like this."

"More importantly, the rust on this knife is also very strange." At this time, Liang En stopped, and then gently rubbed the bark of the roadside tree with the back of the knife.

As Liang En moved, some yellow-brown rust stains fell from the back of the knife, and then some black that looked like plastic was revealed.

"These rust stains are stuck on." Fan Meng's eyes widened suddenly. He discovered that the knife should have been painted with a layer of something similar to plastic, and then a layer of rust was stained on it.

"I think it should be like this." Liang En nodded. "I suspected this thing before because the rust on it looked a bit fake, as if it was artificially added later, but I didn't expect it to be fake rust."

For Liang En, this knife was the most valuable thing in the cave. After all, although those psychotropic drugs were valuable, they were definitely not things he should touch. Therefore, even if the origin of this knife is not known for the time being, it is undoubtedly the most valuable.

After returning to the plantation, Liang En began to study the knife in his hand. After further inspection, he found that the condition of the knife was worse than he imagined.

Although most parts of the knife body are still intact, there are also many places where the original layer of wrapping has disappeared, and a lot of rust has appeared in unprotected places.

Some of these rust spots are only on the surface, but other parts seem to have penetrated deep into the depths of the knife, which means that under normal circumstances, this knife cannot be repaired anyway.

After confirming this, Liang En also understood why those Filipino experts were willing to give the knife to him. Because those experts also discovered this, they chose to give Liang En what they considered scrap metal.

Obviously, this level of damage is basically irreparable with current technology. Even the [Repair (N)] card cannot be completely repaired.

Because a section of the main part of the knife has been completely rusted, although it is not broken now, according to the traditional repair method, this section of the blade must be 100% recast, and the value of the entire knife will naturally be greatly reduced.

More importantly, the repair level of the [Repair (N)] card is equivalent to that of a top repair master. If the blade of this knife is rotten to the extent that it wants to be repaired, even a top mage can only cut the entire knife short. , or add a paragraph in the middle.

In other words, if you want to repair this sword to its original state, you will probably need to consume a precious [Repair (R)] card.

Although this knife does not look like a new one, the value of Japanese knives, even if they are knives with a history, is very different, so how to repair it requires further identification.

So Liang En carefully removed the handle of the knife. This process was not easy, because the handle of the knife was obviously more rusty than the body of the knife. It took him a long time to remove the tattered handle. .

"Hey, it's actually a sword!" After taking off the deformed handle, Liang En frowned slightly. Because he found that the knife stem hidden in the handle was actually curved.

The reason why Liang En finds it strange is that among the ancient Japanese swords that have been passed down to this day, most of them are katana swords. This situation is mainly due to the fact that katana swords were popular much more recently than tachi swords.

Although the history of a knife does not completely determine the value of the knife, if the two knives are very similar in other aspects, they will naturally become more valuable the longer they circulate.

At the same time, he also found that the shape of the knife stem did not match the slot carved on the handle to accommodate the knife stem. This was why Liang En could feel that the knife assembly was not installed properly when he shook the blade just now. The reason for stability.

For those Japanese officers who brought their heirloom swords to the battlefield, although they were required to use the issued standard sword uniforms according to regulations, they would definitely modify the sword uniforms to suit their own blades when using them.

So a rough installation like this gives people the feeling that the previous owner of this knife got a good knife locally, so he replaced his original knife blade with the current one to hide the current knife. 's true identity.
