Starting My Treasure Hunting In England
Chapter 37 Going to the Island
After loading up all the trophies and handing them over to the lawyer, Liang En said goodbye to Pierce for the time being. Because Pierce collected everything he wanted in one go this time, he hoped to return to London quickly to complete the deal.
"I'm so sorry, but this business is really important." Pierce said to Liang En in a parking lot beside the highway. "So I have to sell our goods before anyone else does."
"So you can only hunt for treasures alone from now on, but I promise you, I will try my best to sell these furniture and the things I find at a high price, and then give you your share."
"Okay, it seems I can only be the one next." Liang En seemed a little helpless. After all, although the two of them are close friends, they each have their own careers, so they often need to be busy with their own things. .
After hugging each other, they each started their cars and drove in different directions. Pierce would go all the way back to London while Liang En continued to go north.
Liang En's target this time is the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides Islands in northern Scotland, because in his impression, a famous treasure that was not discovered in this world was unearthed there in his previous world.
Of course, an important reason why I wanted to pick up this treasure for the first time was the association I had after getting the "Harry Potter" books.
What's even better is that after searching on the Internet before, he found that the destination he was looking for was very suitable for treasure hunting from a policy perspective.
Both the UK and the US have a tradition of regional autonomy, so each region has different laws.
For example, according to the treasure law in England, the treasure acquisition fee or reward money should be divided equally between the discoverer and the land owner. But according to Scotland's treasure law, the amount divided between the two parties is determined by the discoverer.
Of course, according to the rules, the discoverer of treasures in Scotland will generally give half of the treasure to the land owner, and at most get a little more. This will allow more landowners to be willing to allow treasure hunters onto their lands.
The place Liang En is going to now is even more interesting. As a private territory, the other party directly opens its land to all treasure hunters and allows treasure hunters to take away everything found on their territory.
But correspondingly, every treasure hunter needs to buy a treasure hunting ticket from him when entering his territory. A treasure hunting ticket costs 120 pounds, and if you bring a metal detector, an additional 60 pounds is added.
Moreover, this kind of treasure hunting ticket also has a time limit. One treasure hunting ticket can only allow one person to move in the territory for two days. If you want to continue, you can only buy another one.
However, this did not prevent Liang En from taking the Isle of Lewis as the target of his search, so more than four hours after setting off from Edinburgh, he arrived at Ullapool, a port in the northwest of the Scottish Highlands.
This town is one of the most remote towns in Cromarty, but it is also an important port for the Outer Hebrides. If you want to drive to Stornoway, the largest city on the Isle of Lewis, you must go here.
When he first arrived at the seaside of Ullapool, he was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him. The blue lake surrounded by mountains is dotted with countless yachts. It is silent all around, with only clouds floating low in the sky. It seems like a fairyland on earth.
It was already past 5 pm when he arrived in the town, so Liang En went straight to a youth hostel to stay. After all, compared to the island, both accommodation and prices here are only a little more than half of those there.
After settling in, it looked like there was still some time until dark. Liang En simply took his mobile phone and power bank and went for a walk around the town.
Since this is a seaside town, the wind is relatively strong. Therefore, the buildings in the town basically have thick stone walls, narrow windows and double-glazed windows. However, the flowers hanging on the walls and planted in front and behind the house made the whole town feel more lively.
After arriving at the beach, Liang En found that the town was located in a bay. There are many seagulls hovering on the pier. Not only are they not afraid of people, they also swoop down from time to time to snatch food from people's hands.
The bay is surrounded by mountains. Every winter, many people come from all over the UK to climb mountains. This is why there are so many good-quality family hotels in the town. In addition, there is a large beach by the sea. campsite.
After shopping for a while, Liang En felt a little hungry and went to the only large supermarket in town to buy some cold food to take to the beach for dinner. Unexpectedly, he saw many people who were going to the same place as him tomorrow.
Although there is no difference between them and ordinary tourists from the appearance, Liang En, who has been working in this industry for almost three months, can still smell the smell from them.
There were many people sitting on the benches on the beach, and several people were standing there playing guitar and singing songs.
When he was shopping just now, Liang En learned that the annual Guitar Music Festival was held here just a few days ago, so these people should be the artists who came here before.
"——I want to sing a song now to commemorate Ron who died in the last Battle of Hogwarts." A voice came from a beach not far away.
"What the hell?" Looking at the guitarist wearing a Gryffindor school uniform, Liang En suddenly felt that his mind was stuck because he subconsciously felt that this was nonsense.
But after he recalled it for a while, he realized that this was a manifestation of the many differences between the two worlds.
For example, the first six Harry Potter films in this world are not much different from what Liang En saw in the previous world. But in the seventh part of this world, Ron died in the final battle of Hogwarts.
When Liang En returned to the youth hostel and opened the set of "Harry Potter" he had found before, he opened the book to the last chapter. Sure enough, in this chapter nineteen years later, we saw Harry and his wife Hermione sending their children to school together. Their youngest son was named James Ronald Potter.
"This is indeed another world." After seeing the sentence "The scar has not hurt in nineteen years, everything is peaceful", Liang En sighed softly, then turned off the light and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, he drove his car and boarded the first barge to the Isle of Lewis, and then drove west-north.
After two hours and forty minutes of boating, Liang En arrived at Stornoway, the largest city on the Island of Lewis. This is also a small city that looks very beautiful, but he doesn't have much time to waste here.
So after quickly applying for an excavation permit on the island, paying 180 pounds and receiving a GPS locator the size of a car key, he drove straight to the beach at his target location.
The roads on the island are very narrow and are only one-way in many places. If you want to miss a bus, you have to go to a special wrong bus location. Fortunately, there were not many vehicles in this place, so he drove more than ten kilometers to his destination smoothly.
Just when he saw the sea, Liang En also saw the small hills that had appeared in a travel magazine before. It's just that unlike the photo with the chess piece sculpture in the magazine, this hillside is just an ordinary hillside covered with weeds.
"Okay, we're finally here." After arriving on the beach in the drizzle, Liang En let out a long sigh of relief as he looked at the familiar bay. "Then it's time to work."
