Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

This small town is not far from the main Champagne production area, so the town is also using the grapes produced in the surrounding vineyards to produce various sparkling wines.

So in the following time, Liang En and the others found an outdoor tavern and each ordered a glass of wine and started drinking.

Although according to trademark law, the sparkling white wine produced here cannot be called champagne, in fact, in terms of taste, the difference between the two is actually only a little. At least Liang En's tongue couldn't taste the difference at all.

After chatting slowly and drinking the wine in the glass, time was almost up. So the two people returned to the parking lot and continued their journey.

To be honest, Liang En benefited a lot from this treasure hunt in the market. Because he found that in this part of Europe, most people had very little understanding of various non-European cultural relics.

Therefore, for him, if he wants to find treasures in the future, he can pay more attention to this aspect. In this way, you may get some unexpected gains.

At 9:30 that night, the three people finally drove the truck back to London safely.

According to the plan, the old Pierce will find a way to use the contacts he has accumulated in the past to sell the treasure obtained this time, while Liang En and Pierce can take advantage of this opportunity to do their own things.

For example, Liang En got up early the next morning after returning, and then started cleaning the rabbit statue he had obtained earlier.

I saw that he dipped a cotton swab in a little prepared lotion and tested it on the corners of the statue. After finding that there was no problem, he started to clean the statue bit by bit.

As he cleaned up, the yellow-green paint was gradually wiped off with cotton swabs, revealing the golden surface underneath. More than half an hour later, a golden rabbit appeared in front of him.

"It seems that the skills learned in school have always been remembered in my mind."

After checking the rabbit and confirming that the paint on the surface of the rabbit had been cleaned, Liang En dropped the cotton swab and muttered to himself, and then carefully inspected the rabbit statue.

After removing the outer layer of paint used to cover it, the sculpture finally revealed its original shape. The beautiful patterns that were previously hidden by the dark-looking paint were also revealed.

These patterns are all flower and plant patterns that look gorgeous and delicate. At the same time, the rabbit's eyes are also inlaid with two mung bean-sized rubies. The whole is full of the asymmetrical beauty of Rococo.

And unlike what was imagined before, this thing is not just made of a single piece of metal. For example, Liang En discovered that the head and tail of rabbits can move.

But before he figured out what this thing was, he didn't dare to touch the parts that seemed to be movable. Because he was worried that the thing might be damaged if he used the wrong method.

In addition, the most special discovery came from the rabbit's abdomen, where Liang En saw an emblem only the size of the tip of a little finger.

"This should be Queen Mary's emblem -" After carefully examining the emblem with a magnifying glass, Liang En quickly recognized who the emblem with a capital M and a capital A stacked together represented.

Queen Marie, full name Marie Antoinette. Marie Antoinette, the wife of King Louis XVI of France, made no political achievements after entering the French court. She was just passionate about balls, fashion, fun and banquets every day, decorating the garden, and was extravagant. She was known as the "Madame Deficit" and later died in the French Revolution.

There are many controversies about this person in history. Many people believe that she was one of the main culprits of France's crisis at that time, but others believe that she was just a victim of the times.

But in any case, as a queen, Marie Antoinette is still very competent, at least in terms of her taste in various items for daily use.

However, this badge also made Liang En fall into deep thought, because according to tradition, this kind of personal badge is different from the royal badge, and is often only placed on personal items that are close to the person.

But now that the rabbit statue is big or small, Liang En really has a hard time figuring out what role such a sculpture can play.

"Okay, now there is only one move." After a simple inspection, Liang En, who really couldn't figure out the origin of this thing, activated a [Appraisal (N)].

After the card was used, lines after lines of tiny text appeared in front of Liang En out of thin air, revealing the secrets inside the sculpture.

[King Louis XVI of France is not a qualified king. If we use Eastern terms, he is a bit like Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty. But what he likes is not being a carpenter, but making various locks. 】

[Of course, these complex and exquisite locks in that era were often used to hide some secrets, such as this lock that Louis XVI gave to his wife. 】

After all the words disappeared, a [Detection (N)] card appeared in Liang En's mind. This also means that he has completely figured out what this sculpture, or rather this rabbit-shaped lock, is.

Obviously, such a lock set by Louis XVI as a gift to his wife, Queen Mary, should be a valuable cultural relic. However, for Liang En, he is more concerned about what may be hidden in it. What is the secret.

However, it is not a simple matter to open this lock. At least now Liang En can't even find the keyhole of this lock anywhere. It's no wonder that Louis XVI thought that he had created a lock that outsiders could not crack.

Fortunately, times have changed. Faced with such complex mechanical equipment, Liang En has a simple solution.

"You said this thing is a lock made by Louis XVI as a gift to his queen, and there may be some secrets hidden in it?" In the Emerald Thrift Store, Pierce looked at Liang En in shock.

"A random gadget bought from a stall can be such a valuable good thing. Your luck has been very good recently. Do you have the magic to increase your wealth?"

"Of course not. You see, I used to buy a lottery ticket every week, but I have never won even the lowest prize." Liang En shrugged.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Please help me see the structure inside this thing."

"No problem, but I need a moment to check." Pierce stood up from behind the counter and walked towards the back of the room.

"You know that broken machine has been in our house for ten years, but the last time it was used was a month ago. So I have to check to make sure it still works-"

Fortunately, this machine is a bit old, but the quality is good. So after more than ten minutes, they successfully figured out the internal structure of the lock.

Then Liang En picked up the lock from the table, then gently pressed the rabbit's short tail upwards. With a click, the rabbit's head suddenly turned in another direction and exposed the keyhole below.

"It's so unlucky." Liang En, who looked at the rabbit-shaped lock turned his head to the side, complained, because he remembered that the king and his wife seemed to have been executed with a guillotine.
