Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"Thank you and your companions for your hard work." After hearing Liang En confirm the results of his investigation. The Robuchon butler immediately relaxed.

For him, this search mission was passed down from his father's generation, so every year, people are automatically sent to carry out this search mission, and it has even become a part of his life.

Therefore, when he realized that this long road was about to come to an end, even with his decades of experience as a housekeeper, he suddenly couldn't control his emotions and showed excitement.

"Then what else do my companions and I need to do now?" Liang En asked after hearing a sniffling sound coming from the other side of the phone.

"I will summon the experts now and contact the people in Finland, and then go to Helsinki early tomorrow morning. You just need to wait for me to arrive at noon tomorrow." Butler Robson said immediately.

Early the next morning, Liang En and Pierce arrived at the Helsinki airport with the things they had found before, and then delivered them to the housekeeper Robuchon who flew over.

"Where should we go next? Back to England?" Pierce asked after handing over the things. "

Of course not. Since we are all here, we can take this opportunity to replenish the store with some Eastern European specialties. After all, everyone is more interested in these exotic things. "

"You're right. I heard that when the Soviet Union collapsed decades ago, many senior colleagues found a lot of good things here." After Liang En said this, Pierce suddenly became interested.

Anyway, it will still be some time before the earl's men can confirm the information, and Liang En and the others also hope to figure out the final outcome of this matter as soon as possible.

So Liang En and Pierce simply took this opportunity to start work and see if they could find anything interesting in Eastern Europe, far away from home.

Of course, another important reason why the two of them were willing to stay here was that the housekeeper was willing to pay for their travel expenses during this period.

So the two of them returned to St. Petersburg and rested for a day. Early the next morning, Liang En and Pierce drove their cars to their destinations.

Unlike Pierce who chose markets in cities that he was familiar with as targets, Liang En chose to explore the wild. A few hours later, he drove his rented off-road vehicle to the edge of Lake Ladoga.

This largest freshwater lake in Europe is located more than 60 kilometers northeast of the center of Leningrad. During the more than 900-day siege of Leningrad, the supply route that passed through this lake was the entire lake. The lifeline of the city.

Although this area was not occupied by the Axis forces at the time, it was completely within the range of their artillery and air force attacks.

Therefore, countless heroic Soviet soldiers braved artillery fire and drove vehicles and ships back and forth to transport various materials and personnel. Of course, many things naturally sank to the bottom of the lake in the process.

But Liang En didn't come here to disturb those brave soldiers. After all, this lake covers an area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers. Even if there are good things in it that were retreated from Leningrad, he can't fish them out by himself.

"This should be it." After driving the car into a valley on the east bank of the river, Liang En said while looking at the surrounding areas. This is a forest that looks a bit messy, with swamps and rivers scattered around.

If you find a tree and climb five or six meters up. You can also see the wavy Ladoga Lake not far away.

There is indeed no difference between an ordinary jungle here now, but if we go back about 1,000 years, a Viking town with a trading station as its core would stand here.

According to Viking tradition, they would bring furs, amber honey and wax to Russia via the Baltic Sea. Then they headed south to the Dnieper River and sailed down the river to their final destination, Constantinople.

The journey would take a full year, and after completing their trade in Constantinople, they would follow the road back to their homeland.

These Viking traders and raiders began with a small range of activities because they needed to return to their homes before winter came to avoid sailing the seas during the dangerous season.

But after 850 AD, these Vikings no longer returned to their hometown every year, but chose some areas to establish camps as their bases for business and plunder.

This was the case in this small town in the jungle back then. The group of Vikings chose to settle here, built a circular fortification with wooden planks, and filled the trench with water from a lake not far away.

The reason why a strong stronghold was built here was, on the one hand, to provide shelter for passing caravans and avoid attacks by the local indigenous Pechenegs. On the other hand, it was also used as a starting point for plunder to rob local indigenous people as slaves.

Historically, some of these strongholds gradually developed into large cities. For example, Dublin and York were the earliest strongholds of the Vikings.

But this stronghold was unlucky and was unfortunately destroyed in a Pecheneg attack.

Of course, this is not bad news for Liang En, because unlike those abandoned strongholds, such strongholds destroyed by war often leave some valuable treasures.

Following the map in his mind, Liang En quickly found the location of the town's leader's residence and the sanctuary. Then he used the metal detector in his hand to detect it.

Nothing was found on the ruins of the sanctuary, but just two steps into the ruins of the leader's residence, he heard a buzzing sound coming from the metal detector.

After squatting down and digging with a small shovel for a while, Liang En felt something hit between his shovel, but it didn't sound like metal from the knocking sound.

"It looks like a stone that has been polished manually." Liang En thought as he expanded the scope of his excavation. Soon, a round object appeared in the pit that was at most 20cm.

It was at this time that he recognized that what he dug out was a stone bowl carved from soapstone, with some simple patterns carved on it.

Obviously, this is not what the metal detector found just now. So after carefully putting the basically complete stone bowl aside, he continued to clean up the soil below.

Soon, a piece of black metal that could fit in the palm of your hand appeared at the bottom of the pit. This piece of metal looks like a capital letter T, and there is a metal ring at the bottom of the T.

The moment this thing was cleared out, Liang En recognized it as an amulet in the shape of Thor's hammer. Often warriors would carry this amulet with them to pray for strength.

Liang En was shocked when he discovered the amulet, because it meant that not many people had disturbed this place, and it could be regarded as a rich mine.

Unfortunately, the good luck seemed to leave him next.

It wasn't until he explored the entire leader's house that he found an Arabian dinar silver coin, a thumb-sized piece of amber with a hole in it and an ax with a thick layer of rust on it.
