Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

The reason why Liang En planned to spend a lot of time and energy searching for the ruins was also very simple, that is, he hoped to figure out what was behind the ruins in this place.

On the one hand, since Liang En has found a ruins, he naturally hopes that everything can be done perfectly. On the other hand, because no cards appeared in this search, it meant that Liang En had not completed the entire search.

So in order to avoid going back empty-handed, Liang En planned to study the relics of the British man who had died in the temple secret room to see what he had not discovered.

Of course, they don't need to stay in the wild for the next research. They only need to stay comfortably in the Varma family's mansion and wait for the results of the search here.

I have to say that although the lives of many Indians are very bad, for rich people in India, living in this country is like living in paradise.

For example, this is the case in Mr. Varma's manor now. Although Liang En has been to many very high-end occasions, this place should be said to have the best hardware and software conditions, especially since Liang En is a distinguished guest of the host here. .

However, Liang En also declined the eight servants sent by Mr. Varma to serve him. He just asked the other party to send someone with flexible hands and good English to run errands for him.

"No problem, this thing is indeed a silver pocket watch produced in Manchester." After comparing it with the information on the computer, Liang En confirmed the specific situation of a key item.

Unfortunately, this did not help much in the tracing work, because Manchester was one of the most prosperous cities in Britain at that time, and there were countless similar jewelry manufacturers.

If this watch is a high-end luxury product, or a top-level watch produced by a very famous manufacturer, then there may be clues to trace it, but for this ordinary silver pocket watch, don't expect any records to exist.

"But this watch always feels a little weird. Let me see where the blame lies." Liang En said to himself after holding the watch in his palm and observing it for a long time.

Although he has not yet found out where the specific suspicion lies, after holding it in his hand and observing it, he always felt that something about this thing looked a little unusual.

Fortunately, after looking over and over for a few minutes, Liang En realized that this pocket watch was not original. In other words, the beautifully carved case was added later, and the movement was another one.

Although Liang En didn't know much about the watch, he could tell that the movement was a cheap movement, at least it didn't look like the same product as the beautifully made watch case.

This practice was not particularly uncommon in the Victorian era. Many people would go to jewelry stores to get a more stylish case for their pocket watch.

Especially for some people, old pocket watches may be very meaningful to them, especially those that have been passed down from ancestors, so they will not throw away these watches when they get rich, but they will make them more valuable by adding a gorgeous case to the watch. The watch is worthy of his current status.

This discovery made Liang En suddenly excited, because if it was really such an important commemorative watch, the previous owner might have engraved important information on the movement.

So he quickly asked the servant to bring a set of tools, and then he carefully opened the back cover of the pocket watch by placing the gaps in the pocket watch bit by bit. Soon, Liang En discovered some problems with the back cover of the pocket watch.

Because there was a lot of rust on it, many details were covered up. However, when Liang En started to open the back cover of the pocket watch, he found that all the original screws on the back of the pocket watch were missing, and the back cover was just stuck on the watch. .

This is obviously not normal, because if there are no screws, the back cover of such a watch is very easy to fall off. The reason why it is so firmly glued now is purely because of the rust on the copper watch case inside. It was estimated that this thing would have easily fallen off back then. .

Fortunately, this also made it easier for Liang En to open the watch cover. He only used a bamboo stick to gently remove the rust on it, and then used a special tool to penetrate into the gap and pry off the watch cover.

"Eh-" When the watch cover was removed, Liang En let out a small exclamation, because there was no movement at all inside the watch cover, but a silver inner cover.

The material of the inner cover should be silver, but it looked a little black because it had been left in a humid environment for too long. After a few simple attempts, Liang En used a special tool to slowly unscrew the back cover. Come down.

At this time, he had realized that this pocket watch was probably the crucial clue that he had been looking for, so when the cover was opened, he immediately looked under the cover.

Sure enough, this pocket watch had been completely transformed as he had guessed before, and there was a secret compartment inside for hiding certain things.

After a brief inspection, he found that there was a key inside and a place name and a number engraved on the inside of the back cover, which should be where the answers to all the questions were.

Perhaps because the box is made of very pure silver, the entire box is sealed very well. Both the bronze key and the engraved text inside are very clear and have not been eroded by time.

"You really found a clue. No wonder His Excellency the Earl is full of praise for your talent in archeology and history." Seeing Liang En coming to him with these things, Mr. Varma also showed a surprised expression.

"I believe that what you have found this time is the greatest archaeological discovery in the entire state of Kerala and even the entire southern India in the past 20 years. If you need my help in any way, I will do my best to help you."

For a rich man like Mr. Varma, he already has most of the things he needs, so he is even more eager to participate in this series of activities to make himself famous.

Especially compared to Chinese people, Indians prefer to show off themselves. For something like this that has a high probability of becoming famous, Mr. Varma definitely hopes that he can participate in the entire process.

After the temple was discovered, many media came to interview him. Since Liang En was very busy at the time, Mr. Varma took over the work in this area and made a good public appearance. No matter how much he did about this kind of thing, Nor will I get bored.

Anyway, for him, his servants are enough to help him handle all the daily things, so it is no problem to take some time to participate in the current search work.

"I really need your help with something." Liang En said, pointing to the words engraved on the inside of the back cover, "This place looks like it should be an Indian bank, but I didn't find any clues about this bank. .”

"Let me see -" Varma took the silver back cover, glanced at the text, smiled immediately, and then said to Liang En. "Ah, my friend, that is not the name of the bank, but of the temple."

"Temple?"

"Yes, and this temple is one of the five or six temples that our family still manages. It has always had a tradition of storing items for outsiders." Varma showed a proud expression.

"This temple is much more reliable than those banks. I can guarantee that things like this from more than a hundred years ago will still stay there quietly. As long as you can provide the key and the number of the warehouse, you can get it from the temple. Something to save before leaving.”
