Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After finishing the excavation work, they quickly contacted the archaeological department in England. After all, the real value of these things lies in being recognized by everyone. If they keep them at home, they will be no different from ordinary silver or wood.

Although some people like to hide some important items in secret rooms, Liang En and the others are not such people. In their eyes, many things can only show their true value if they are made public.

However, they didn't mind getting benefits from it, so in addition to the archaeological department, they also mobilized their own efforts to find several museums, because these things are very valuable to museums, so finding a few at a time is conducive to improvement. purchase price.

"I'm very glad that I didn't donate the land belonging to the building in the manor." Nelson sighed quietly while waiting for the archeology department to come over.

At that time, their family did not do this not because they knew there might be treasure hidden here, but because they simply felt that it was too shameful for a nobleman to completely abandon his manor.

So the Nelson family chose to donate most of their land to the state to reduce property taxes and gain business convenience, but still retained ownership of the land where the manor's yard used to be.

The only regret is that the land owned by the Nelson family was acquired in the 19th century, so it only has ordinary property rights and no ancient noble territorial rights.

Noble territorial rights are also one of the important differences between this world and another world. In this world, people with noble territorial rights can enjoy more privileges on their own land.

Among them, those privileges related to people have basically been abolished today, or even if they are not abolished, they will be directly given up. After all, this type of rights is far behind the times.

To give the simplest example, something went wrong in 2007 when the British Crown Prince bought a large manor covering an area of ​​196 acres in Carmarthenshire, Wales for vacation.

The feudal territorial rights in that area have not been abolished and are still legally valid. However, when the crown prince bought the estate, he did not sign a document giving up this right. As a result, the matter was quickly ranked by the world-famous British paparazzi and then published in many street tabloids.

This also caused the spokesperson of the British royal family to quickly issue a statement stating that the crown prince would never exercise this ancient and backward feudal right. In short, the whole matter was very embarrassing.

Now think about it, although the British Crown Prince is not a model of morality, he is not so bottomless in public. This situation is purely because the prince is old and basically no one pays attention to this kind of power, so he bought the manor. I just forgot about it.

However, compared to the privileges for people, many privileges related to real estate have not been abolished. For example, this was the case with Liang En's previous fishing rights and collecting rights in Scotland.

However, Liang En did not forget to sign a series of documents at that time, allowing the surrounding residents to collect firewood, collect mushrooms or harmlessly walk through the jungle for their own use.

It is a pity that real estate with such privileges is very rare now, because according to regulations, except for traditional lands in Scotland and noble territories, once the real estate is transferred to civilians, the privileges attached to the real estate will also disappear directly.

As for Scotland, all privileges in the region follow the land rather than people. In addition, these lands are in some remote places, so these privileges are retained.

However, although there are no feudal privileges, there are still property rights, so although the things have to be handed over, the museum that accepts the cultural relics still has to give the corresponding money to Liang En and the others.

According to the British Treasure Act of 1996, the ownership of treasures outside Scotland belongs to the Queen of England. Treasure hunters can only get paid, not the treasure.

In fact, it is not a bad thing that these things can be exchanged for bonuses, because when multiple parties participate, it is obviously easier to divide the money, especially if the participants are all members of the Golden Dawn.

Golden Dawn has detailed and reasonable regulations on how to distribute the harvest after such a joint treasure hunt. If it is money, just follow the regulations.

The only one who is a little unhappy about this is the museum. For museums, keeping treasures in the hands of their colleagues is one of the most difficult problems they encounter, because everyone is a professional, and it is basically impossible to buy them cheaply.

Not to mention that the power behind Liang En and the others cannot be underestimated. Even a famous museum can only impress Liang En and the others with bids instead of other methods.

Therefore, when Liang En and others took turns to fight, the British Museum, the final winner, could only choose to spend 13 million after tax instead of the planned 13 million before tax to buy these cultural relics with special historical value.

While the museum staff and archaeologists were preparing to burn the midnight oil, Liang En and the others had already driven to Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, London's top community, to have dinner today.

"We are lucky today because Chef Gordon Ramsay is here." Nelson said with a smile after taking a look at the situation in the kitchen through the glass.

Gordon Ramsay can be regarded as a very famous chef in this era, and he often participates in various activities. In this case, the other party may not often be in your store.

It can only be said that Liang En and the others were indeed lucky today, and the dishes behind them also reflected the Michelin three-star level that the chefs could perform when the boss was in charge.

Whether it's the quail and wild mushroom pie as an appetizer, the Angus beef shank and grilled fish fillet as the main course, or the chocolate ice cream balls in a silver bowl at the end of the meal, they are all very delicious and worthy of three Michelin stars.

This proves from another perspective that although Gordon Ramsay is a chef who is very good at promoting himself, he at least has a sufficient level of cooking skills as a basis.

After dinner, several people came to Nelson's nearby home and began to discuss the summary of the event and about dividing the money.

Several people are very satisfied with the results of this exploration, because they can be regarded as deciphering a mystery in the calendar. Although this mystery has nothing to do with occultism, it is very meaningful to solve the mystery.

"It seems that ancient people were sometimes able to hide their secrets in ways that are difficult for modern people to decipher." Professor Alexander said as he took a sip of the coffee in front of him.

"Especially as time goes on, things that may not have been that complex in ancient times become completely enigmatic today, like the ancient Syriac language."

Many characters that could be used in ancient times have now become dead characters, and very few people understand them, which once again adds more difficulty to the cracking work.

If Liang En hadn't accidentally understood the ancient language, it would never have been as easy to decipher this thing, let alone find these clues through these messy contents.

"You are right, so we plan to check all the internal files of Golden Dawn recently to see if there are any similar situations." Nelson nodded and said.

Because of the study of occultism, Golden Dawn collected a large number of documents written in various secret languages, and Liang En's approach this time has obviously opened up a new way of deciphering.
