Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

The last photo shows a group of people wearing various costumes walking out of a barricade to hand over their weapons and surrender. Behind them is a three-story ancient Roman-style building. If you guessed correctly, this should be a photo of the last group of rebels surrendering.

But what is different from the previous photos is that there is a black circle in this photo that circles the location of the flagpole on the roof of the building, and there is a short sentence written in black ink next to it.

"We got it - what does this mean?" Looking at this sentence of only three words, Liang En frowned, and saw Pierce staring directly at the photo.

"Did you find anything?" Liang En turned around and asked.

"Flag, this box contains the Irish flag." Pierce shook quickly after hearing Liang En's question, and then said in an excited tone.

"You mean, the national flag?" Liang En also reacted after hearing what Pierce said, and then looked at the faded green silk.

The Irish flag is made up of green, white and orange colors, so this folded piece of faded green silk is likely to be the flag that was hung on that building.

"This building seems familiar." Obviously, if it was just an ordinary flag, the other party wouldn't draw a picture on the photo to point it out, so Liang En quickly turned his attention to that photo.

"This is - Dublin General Post Office." After looking at the photo in a daze for several seconds, Liang En searched for the content of this picture in his memory.

"The headquarters of the rebel army was located here, and it was also the place where the first Irish flag was raised during the uprising - wait, do you think this flag could be..."

Although he said that he was just guessing, Liang En was already certain that the flag in front of him was the first Irish flag raised during the Easter Uprising.

Because the moment he thought of this, four cards shining with different colors appeared in his mind to verify his conjecture.

Among the four cards, two are [Identification (N)] and one is [Detection (N)]. In addition, there is a silver SR card. Unfortunately, the card this time is an item card.

[Flag of the Irish Rebels (SR): - Oh, night falls, rifles crackle, and the British troops hide in every direction. The sky was filled with bullets, and tongues of fire illuminated the bayonets——

Just as the Irish folk song "Misty Dew" sings, in order to get rid of British colonial rule, countless Irish children took up arms and went to the front line of the uprising and dedicated their lives for it.

This flag represents the indomitable spirit of those insurrectionists and even the entire Irish nation. Therefore, this item card can bring some power from this nation to the item holder.

Item card. As long as you own this flag, you can gain extra favor from the other party when negotiating with the Irish. In addition, this flag can be used to boost morale once a day, which can make all Irish within a radius of 100m full of fighting. courage. 】

After determining the specific content of this flag, the warehouse fell into silence for a while, because this flag was completely different from the East German small tanks or Hummingbird pistols they had dealt with before.

"What should I do with this thing?" After a minute or two of silence, Pierce broke the silence first. "With that photo album, we can basically determine the specific condition of this flag. But-"

"But it's really difficult to get rid of something like this." Liang En continued. "If you set a high price, you may get a reputation as a profiteer. If the price is too low, you will feel a loss no matter how you think about it."

"The most important thing is that if either the flag or these gold and silver nuggets are sold to rich people as usual, I will feel a little uneasy." At this point, Liang En suddenly figured out something.

After all, he has nearly one million pounds on hand, and Pierce also has a very well-run store. So they are not short of money for the time being. In this case, they naturally have the capital to pursue some higher-level things.

"We can take this thing to where it should go." Liang En looked at Pierce and said, "Of course, this may make us make less money this time, but in the long run it will be a good thing - —”

More than ten days later, amid the patter of rain, the hall of the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin was packed with people.

These people ranged from babies held in their mothers' arms to gray-haired old men, and there were even a few soldiers in military uniforms. But without exception, they all wore a green clover brooch on their chest.

After everyone waited for a few minutes, two honor guards wearing replicas of the military uniforms worn when the Army of the Republic of Ireland was first established walked in from the door.

Behind them, two other honor guards came in carrying a large glass photo frame, and that photo frame contained the tattered and old Irish flag.

As the small military band at the door played the Irish national anthem, everyone present saluted the flag. With everyone's attention following, the photo frame with the flag was hung firmly in the hall of the museum.

After the soldiers filed out of the hall, Liang En and Pierce followed the flow of people and carried a green wreath the size of a swimming ring in front of the small monument under the flag, and then left the museum.

Just when the handover ceremony was completed, Liang En found that the item card related to the national flag in his mind had also disappeared. It shows that those item cards are indeed related to the items he holds.

Because of the ceremony just now, the atmosphere in the car seemed a bit heavy. In the end, it was Liang En who drove the car that broke the atmosphere in the car. "I just suddenly felt that everything we did was worth it."

Liang En held the steering wheel and said, "And I didn't expect that everyone would take this matter so seriously."

"The only disadvantage is that it's not as famous as we imagined at the time." Pierce shrugged. "After all, the location where we got this thing was in London, England. It wouldn't necessarily be good for us if we publicized it completely. It’s a good thing.”

A week ago, after realizing the historical importance of the flag they found, Liang En and the others chose to take the flag back to Ireland and donate it to the National Museum.

Since the flag came from an abandoned British military camp, in order to avoid some diplomatic disputes, the names of Liang En and Pierce and the process of their discovery of the flag cannot be made public.

So even the small bronze plaque under the flag now used as a commemoration only records their surnames but not their full names.

This does not mean that the two of them received nothing. On the one hand, they donated the flag and accompanying letters and photos. But the gold and silver nuggets originally placed in the box were sold to the museum at the price of high-purity gold and silver.

Although the money earned from this transaction was far less than that of selling all the items, the two still received 13,000 euros each.

On the other hand, after this donation, they have also established a relationship with the museum. Then in the future, when museums and the private sector prepare to jointly carry out some activities, they will naturally become the priority.

This kind of connection with the museum may not be of much use in ordinary times, but it can invisiblely enhance social status.

For example, if you have a long-term relationship with a museum. Then everyone will know you as an explorer, not an antique dealer.
