Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"There should be a water source behind this collapse point." Liang En said after briefly checking the surrounding traces, "And judging from the stones at the bottom of the cave, this place can gush out hundreds of tons of water every day."

"It is indeed a gift from the gods to have a spring in a place like this that can produce hundreds of tons of water every day." Old Mrs. Nell also looked at the traces on the ground and said.

"But now it seems that some kind of change has occurred inside the mountain and cut off the water veins, so the entire valley has become as completely desolate as it is now."

Obviously, the previous geological changes in this area were not limited to the little bit seen in the cave. The gravel may also block the flowing water, so the drying up of the water source is most likely related to the changes inside the mountain.

And when the people brought by Mrs. Nell successfully cleaned up the rubble in the passage, a huge cave hall with many traces of running water appeared in front of everyone.

The reason why it is said to be huge is that the cave seems to be able to fit in the small building in Liang En's ranch, and in the center of the cave there is a large pit that takes up more than half of the area.

"It seems that we have found the right place." The first time he entered the bottom of the big pit, Liang En saw something shining under the light of the flashlight. When he picked it up, he found that it was an otter engraved on the bottom of the pit. gold ring.

This ring overall looks real, and even feels a little heavy when placed on the hand. But something strange is that the carvings on it look a bit rough, giving the impression that they were carved by a layman with a knife.

"Yes, this thing is an item of our tribe." After taking the ring and looking at it carefully, Mrs. Nell nodded. "This was originally the personal belongings of the wizard back then. It was thrown into the pool as a sacrifice."

"You see, the otter above was probably carved by the wizard himself at that time. He did this to show his identity to the gods. If I am not wrong, there should be items belonging to the Spear Tribe nearby."

After hearing this, Liang En continued to search, and sure enough, he found a rough-looking quartzite spearhead on the other side of the bottom of the pool, which was the wizard's token of the Spear Tribe.

"In other words, we have found the right place now?" Liang En said after looking at the completely dry pool and the two tokens, "But the water source of this pool looks like it has been dry for decades."

"I think this is the reason why we sent people to search for it but couldn't find it after we established a firm foothold in the past half century or so. After all, after there was no water source, this place was completely different from our legend." Old Mrs. Nell sighed.

"But I really didn't expect this place to be like this. I originally thought this place would become a pearl in our reservation."

For this old man who has been fighting for her tribe for half her life, she still hopes that her tribe can develop.

In fact, this time everyone was organized to search the Holy Land. Apart from some religious needs, the most important goal was to find a vibrant valley in the desert.

Because more than half of these reservations are in the Gobi Desert, such a water source near a transportation artery is very important.

"Then what should we do next?" Liang En looked at Mrs. Nell and asked, because now this situation has exceeded all of their previous guesses.

According to their previous thoughts, there were only two possibilities for this operation, either they successfully found this holy land and blocked the target, or they found nothing and returned empty-handed.

It's just that this time the situation is different from everyone before them. They did find the holy land and caught the attackers, but due to changes in nature, the holy land disappeared.

"Next we have to hold a ceremony here, a comfort ceremony." Mrs. Nell told Liang En what to do next.

"The task of this ceremony is to appease the local natural spirits, and then see if the ancestor spirits and natural spirits can restore life to this place."

"Of course, in addition to holding the ceremony, we also want to give you the status of a distinguished guest of our entire tribe, so I hope you can stay and participate in our next ceremony."

Naturally, Liang En would not refuse this kind offer, and when he met Pierce and the others, he learned from Pierce how valuable the status of this Indian VIP was.

"You think this is just a simple title? No, this VIP status is not just a title." After learning that Liang En had become a tribal VIP, Pierce explained the situation to him.

"You know, Indian reservations have their own operating rules, and for this more traditional tribe, after you become a honored guest of the tribe, you will be able to obtain many rights that only tribal members have."

"To take the simplest example, you can choose everything sold by this tribe before others. At the same time, as long as your bid is similar to the market price, you will get the first right to choose the items."

"For example, we can now buy authentic aboriginal handicrafts from them, and we can guarantee that they are absolutely handmade, not some kind of machine-made industrial product."

What Pierce said is a big problem in the market now. Native American handicrafts are indeed more attractive, but the problem is that most of the things on the market now are industrial products.

Although ordinary people don't care too much whether these things are purely handmade or machine-made, for customers of Emerald Thrift Store, they come here to buy the most traditional handicrafts.

Unfortunately, they did not have a stable source of goods before, so even if they knew someone liked these things, they could only buy them when they occasionally saw good ones.

So now that Liang En has become a distinguished guest of these Native Americans, he will be able to have a stable channel to obtain handicrafts in the future, and this time it is very conducive to the next development of the Emerald Thrift Store.

"It seems that asking you to become a shareholder of our store is one of the most important decisions our family has made." At this point, Pierce patted Liang En on the shoulder and said.

"I can assure you that if we can really negotiate those contracts for handicrafts, we will definitely have no problem increasing our profit margin by about five points this year."

Perhaps because of the importance of this ceremony, they stayed at the temporary camp at the entrance of the valley for two days before being notified of the start of the ceremony. After receiving the notice, Liang En and Fan Meng each wore traditional aboriginal costumes. The others walked towards the valley together.

Unfortunately, neither Pierce nor Joan of Arc were able to participate in this ceremony. This was mainly because this ceremony had an aboriginal religious nature, so it would naturally exclude them as two more devout believers.

Pierce was a little regretful about this fact, because he was really curious about what the traditional ceremonies of these Native Americans were like, but he also knew that he had to respect the local traditions at this time.

As for Joan of Arc, she didn't feel any regret about not being able to participate in such a ceremony. At least based on her belief, participating in such a religious ceremony that was different from her own beliefs was something that made her feel a little uncomfortable.
