Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"I'm glad you can donate something like this to us." Two days later, in a church in downtown Osaka, the local bishop solemnly took over this 300-year-old pair from the priest from Nagasaki. Jesus grimaces in front of him.

"I believe that our church will be able to completely preserve this precious historical relic and allow the glory of God to continue to shine in this city."

Because the ancient and important oil painting had been kept in the hands of the priest during the entire process, it was on this donation occasion that Liang Encai saw the complete picture of this thing for the first time.

This oil painting obviously comes from Europe. Judging from the painting technique and the style of the picture, it should have been brought directly from Europe by the missionaries at that time.

However, this oil painting is not just a simple oil painting, but is installed in a golden wooden box, or a shrine, and this lacquer shrine is obviously made in Japan.

The strange thing is that the two things with different styles are perfectly integrated at this time, giving people a seamless feeling. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that the box is a later one.

Apparently, after the missionaries came to Japan with this icon, local believers prepared a special shrine to preserve the image.

From this point, we can also see how precious this shrine and the portrait are, because in an era when Catholicism was strictly prohibited in Japan, it was much more difficult to carry such a big guy than carrying a painting.

Interestingly, there are black scorch marks on one corner of the shrine. This mark is certainly not due to poor preservation, but comes from a certain period of history.

According to the previous priest, this shrine came to their small church more than seventy years ago, when a severely burned believer came here from Nagasaki and handed the shrine to them.

What made the priest feel a little regretful was that the believer was so badly burned that he died less than a day after handing the things to them. They had no idea where the things came from.

But now that I think about it, this thing should have been stored somewhere in the city of Nagasaki. After the nuclear explosion, it was taken to a remote countryside.

Because at that time, almost all Japanese believed that the US military would land next, and then a brutal war would break out across Kyushu.

So after finding this thing, the believer's first reaction was to take this thing to the sparsely populated countryside to prevent this thing from being destroyed by the flames of war in the subsequent war.

The stone carvings and relief slabs in this country church also came from the ruins of Nagasaki. They were removed from the destroyed buildings and reused, so Liang En felt that these things were a bit inappropriate.

"Now Mr. Kimura's last wish has been fulfilled by you, so according to the will, I will now give you the previously agreed rewards prepared by Mr. Kimura."

After the donation ceremony, the lawyer of Mr. Kimura came over and said to Liang En, then handed him a small box with a wax seal on the mouth and opened the box under everyone's gaze.

The box contained a seal, a key and a folded piece of letter paper. After opening the folded paper, Liang En found that the location of a Swiss bank and the number of the vault were recorded on it.

At the bottom of the box was a printed piece of paper with the procedures for how to take out those items from the bank written on it.

"Very good, I think we are clear now." He went to a corner to check these things carefully and made a phone call. Liang En shook hands with the lawyer and made sure that the handover of the things had been completed. Then he left the church with Fan Meng and Joan of Arc.

"I just don't know what Mr. Kimura left for us." After walking out of the church door for a while, Fan Meng looked at the box and said curiously, "I hope it's not some worthless junk."

"Probably not, because I got some information from Pierce." Liang En was quite confident in the value of the last thing, mainly because he had contacted Pierce before.

As a Japanese antique dealer with long-term cooperation with the European antique industry, Pierce easily found the previous trajectory of Mr. Kimura through his own connections.

Through a series of investigations, Pierce was able to determine that Kimura left a considerable fortune in Europe before leaving Europe for the last time, but the specific investigation could not reveal what it was.

But with just this vague information, Liang En was able to use the [Prophecy (SR)] card to divine that the wealth did exist and was waiting for him in a bank vault in Switzerland.

After obtaining the detailed information and keys of the bank vault, Liang En and the others immediately left Japan and flew directly to Switzerland, and then arrived at the important Swiss city of Geneva.

As the most famous city in Switzerland, many people regard this city as the capital of Switzerland, but in fact the capital of Switzerland is Bern, the fourth largest city in Switzerland.

Geneva is located at the southwest corner of Lake Geneva where it flows into the Rhone River. It borders France on three sides to the south, east and west. From the map, Geneva protrudes from the territory of Switzerland. The narrowest part in the middle is only 4 kilometers. Many facilities are shared with France, such as Kwant. Half of Lan International Airport belongs to France.

The word Geneva means the birth of water in the local language. This is also related to the special local environment. After entering the city, no matter from any angle in the city, you will notice a huge water column rising straight into the sky, which is the 140-meter water column in Lake Geneva. A meter-high water column,

Contrary to what they imagined, after entering the city, Liang En and the others found that the city environment was not as tidy as they imagined and felt a bit messy.

Of course, this kind of chaos is just some fireworks, just like ordinary people's rooms. Rather than giving people the kind of chaos that makes people feel that their personal safety is threatened, like in Paris.

Although there is still the excitement of spring, the tulips in the city are blooming one after another. Beside the wide sidewalk by the lake are neat little flower beds, filled with tulips of various colors.

Looking from a distance, the water droplets splashing from the Grand Fountain, the symbol of Geneva, also reflect colorful light in the sun, setting off the blooming tulips of various colors. Such a beautiful scenery will become an eternal memory at a glance.

However, Liang En and the others only took a quick glance at these beautiful scenery, and then walked directly towards a bank with a history of more than 200 years in the city center.

After all, these scenery are here, and it is impossible for Long Legs to run away on his own, so instead of admiring the scenery in the city, Liang En and the others hope to take a look at the prize after completing the task before.

Because they brought a complete set of documents, and Mr. Kimura's lawyer had notified them before, Liang En and the others successfully used the things they had to reach the vault below the bank.

To their surprise, Mr. Kimura did not just rent a small safe as a place to hide his treasure, but rented an entire warehouse in a bank warehouse.
