Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

In the next five minutes, Liang En quickly stated his findings and judgment in English with an Irish accent, and finally sent the portrait to the other party through the mailbox.

"——Thank you very much for your cooperation with our work. Everything you did today is very important to us." When Liang En finished all this, Officer Burke thanked him very seriously.

"Although I can't tell you the specific situation, what I can tell you is that because of your help, we have now avoided the trap set by criminals and successfully found an important clue——"

Because he got enough information from Liang En, Officer Burke obviously had a lot to do, so he quickly ended the call.

"Finally, we accomplished something important." After hanging up the phone, Liang En breathed a long sigh of relief, and then walked towards the hotel. Because he still remembered that he bought two interesting things at the auction this time.

After taking things out of the safe and taking them back to his room, Liang En began to examine the two items. The first of them, the Book of the Dead, was a masterpiece of its kind in ancient Egypt.

Although many unsightly black and yellow spots have appeared on the papyrus due to thousands of years of time, the lines on it are beautiful, the colors are bright, and the overall preservation condition is very good.

"One [Legendary Power (R)] and one [Appraisal (N)]. It seems that this thing does have historical value." After counting his harvest this time, Liang En nodded with satisfaction.

It is definitely an unexpected surprise to get two cards from something that I have only passed through once. Unfortunately, considering the personality and strong character established now, the opportunity for such a good thing will not be encountered in the future. too much.

Another wooden box contained more than half a box of German mail, which can be said to be an important material for studying the history of German life more than a hundred years ago. Through these mails, Liang En was able to get a glimpse of a corner of German life for a hundred years.

Of course, this thing is only meaningful to scholars who study folk history, but for ordinary people, these letters can even be said to be worthless.

"If I remember correctly, I seem to have heard the name of this monastery somewhere in my previous life." Liang En thought as he looked through the letters. "Damn, I just can't remember right now—"

In addition to the letters, Liang En also found a dozen various notebooks from under the boxes. Some of them were empty, but some had a lot of interesting information written on them.

For example, one of them is a list of various supplies purchased by the monastery for eight months after it was requisitioned by the German military as a field hospital in 1915.

Most people may only find this information boring, but for those who study the history of the Western Front in World War I, this information can help them analyze a lot of information about the German troops on the Western Front.

It can even be said that the contents of this book could be regarded as military secrets during World War I and were basically impossible to be known to outsiders.

Unfortunately, these things don't mean much to Liang En. However, he felt that he could keep this thing and give it to a museum or other familiar scholars someday in exchange for favors or other things.

Because there is always something interesting to be found in these letters and notebooks, as I was reading through them and recording them, it was night time before I knew it.

"After reading this, go and order room service." As he muttered, he opened a black book and a piece of yellowed letter paper fell out of the book.

"This is -" After quickly translating the recipient's name at the top of the letter, Liang En became somewhat interested because the recipient of this letter was Brentano, a poet of the Heidelberg School of Poetry.

According to the information he just read, this Erenberg monastery once had an abbot who was a relative of Brentano, so his relics were preserved after his death.

Considering that the poet was somewhat famous, Liang En felt that these relics might contain manuscripts of his exchanges with some celebrities at the time, so he continued to translate.

"We will abide by our promise and send you all the collected oral folk culture for your use. Please return these manuscripts to us at an appropriate time in the future - Jacob Green."

"This name looks so familiar." After translating the entire letter, Liang En immediately searched in his memory, and soon he remembered who this person was.

"This person should be the older brother of the Brothers Grimm." Soon, he searched for information about this person from his mind. "One of the authors of Grimm's Fairy Tales!"

After realizing this, Liang En immediately looked through the black leather notebook and found that the notebook was not a ready-made notebook, but a notebook made by binding some manuscripts together.

Considering that the next work required a lot of energy, Liang En first ordered room service to barely fill his stomach, and then looked through this precious notebook.

A total of 53 fairy tales were recorded in the notebook. Judging from the handwriting, 27 of them were written by Jacob Green and 14 by William Green. The rest come from someone who left no record in history.

It was at this time that Liang En searched out memories related to this note from his own memory. If he remembered correctly, these things were called the Erenberg Manuscript in the previous world, and were part of the "Grimm" manuscript. The earliest prototype of "Fairy Tale".

It's just that it may be due to the difference caused by the different worlds, so the manuscript in Liang En's hand now contains five more stories than the manuscript in memory, which is closer to what the Brothers Grimm left for him in the original world. That manuscript.

After briefly looking through the manuscript, Liang En discovered that as the earliest beginning of "Grimm's Fairy Tales", the fairy tales in this manuscript were very different.

For example, quite a few of the chapters are unfinished drafts, with only a fragment or fragment. For example, the eighth story named "Poor Girl" has only one beginning:

A folk fairy tale about a poor girl. Although she has no dinner, no parents, not even a bed or a roof, she never does anything wrong. However, when the meteor fell, she found a beautiful gold coin on the ground...

The story in the manuscript ends here. According to Liang En's memory, if he guessed correctly, this article should be the "Star Silver Coin" in the final completed book.

Similar situations abound in this manuscript, even with various low-level problems with numbering and titles. For example, the titles of Parts 13 and 18 are both "Fool".

On the whole, these things should be a true record of the most primitive oral fairy tales without any modification. In some places, you can even see the handwriting left by the Brothers Grimm: "The meaning here is unknown."

"This should be a very valuable thing." Liang En muttered after checking the manuscript, "A world-famous fairy tale manuscript must have very high historical and economic value!"
