Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 117 Start digging

"The other party's price doesn't seem to have tricked you." Fan Meng, who drove back to the previous area after the negotiation and signing by the lawyers of the two parties early the next morning, talked about the previous transaction.

"You just didn't see the light in that guy's eyes when he heard you were a famous historian. I thought he was going to blackmail you."

"Even if he thought about it, he wouldn't dare to do it." After hearing what Fan Meng said, Liang En said with a smile. "Don't forget, he is a real estate developer. If he gets a bad name this time, his future business will be over."

"Not to mention that I have a bit of reputation now. Although the other party insisted that I have the money to buy the land, he didn't dare to raise the price too high."

"Otherwise, if I tell the story to the media one day, he will be able to bid farewell to various business activities forever. Because no one wants to deal with a guy who is too greedy for profit."

"And as a real estate businessman who can make a fortune in the UK, he is absolutely clear-headed. For him, the most important thing in this transaction is to put the piece of land in his hands. The land is sold."

From the time when the other party purchased the land, it can be seen that the other party originally planned to use the attraction of the Anton City Wall to increase the value of the land.It turned out that there were not many tourists in this place, and the investment naturally failed.

For Liang En, cards are far more important than money.Now that you have money, spending tens of thousands of pounds for the legendary power that has a high probability of appearing is definitely a very worthwhile thing.

"So things like land prices are indeed inexplicable." Fan Meng sighed while holding the steering wheel, "There are too many factors that can affect land prices, such as area and location. I can't understand it at all."

"For example, in the central area of ​​London, 100 million yuan can only buy a 60-square-meter apartment, but here, we only spent 900 pounds to sell an area equivalent to more than [-] acres of land measured by China."

"After all, land and land are different." Liang En smiled and shook his head and said, "For example, the land I just bought is in the wilderness, and there is not even a road. How valuable."

"I think if it is changed to the Sahara Desert, as long as there are no minerals underneath, I estimate that the money can buy land ten times larger than this land."

After solving the biggest land problem on the road to explore, Liang En and the others quickly returned to the previous place.After saying hello to Professor Brown and his students, Liang En and Fan Meng rode motorcycles and plunged into the hills.

Soon, they found the location recorded on those lead plates.Because even 100 years have passed, the traces left by the former Freemason who blasted the mountain to sample and cover the cave still exist.

The entire blasted area looked about the size of two basketball courts, and after so many years, these traces were also covered with a layer of green vegetation.

After standing in front of this gentle slope and simply comparing the surrounding environment, Liang En and the others quickly followed the gentle slope covered with gravel to the halfway up the hillside, and then came to a smooth gravel piled below. In front of the stone wall.

"That's right, it's here." After scraping off the moss mixed with a lot of mud on the stone wall with a shovel, Liang En nodded in satisfaction.Because in front of him appeared a rough-cut Masonic logo.

"We may not be able to get through the entrance today." After a brief inspection of the surrounding areas with this mark as the core, Fan Meng said to Liang En, "The amount of earthwork is too large, and the two of us may need to dig several times. Heaven will open."

"It's okay, let's dig first." Liang En took out an engineering shovel from his backpack and started digging, while digging, he said, "As for the evening, we can go to the excavation site of the ruins of the ancient Roman town below to set up camp. "

"After all, when I came here, I saw that there were some temporary board houses around the excavation site in the ancient Roman town below. Professor Brown and his students are definitely not satisfied with living here, so we should be able to find a room to live in if we talk about it in the past."

I have to say that Fan Meng's estimate is indeed very accurate. When excavating this kind of loose soil mound, it may be necessary to excavate a much larger amount of earthwork than that required on hard soil when clearing a certain area.

Therefore, Liang En and the others estimated that it would take three or four days to complete the task of clearing out the entrance of only 4-5 square meters in the lead record.

Naturally, under such circumstances, Liang En and the others don't need to rush to work.So when it got dark that day, they packed up their tools and went straight down the mountain to the excavation site of the ancient Roman town.

Perhaps considering the long-term excavation of this ancient Roman town, in addition to simple enclosures, a two-story eight-room prefabricated house and several ancillary buildings were built next to the ruins to facilitate the excavators' residence.

After getting the key from Professor Brown, Liang En and the others walked up the stairs to the second floor, and then opened the innermost room on the second floor.

The layout in the house is very simple, except for two bunk single beds, there are only two chairs and an electric lamp, and nothing else.

"This place is very good, at least there is a roof." After turning on the light and looking at the surrounding environment, Fan Meng nodded in satisfaction, and then the two of them put their luggage away, then left the room and went to the front of the building. on the clearing.

At this time, Professor Brown was leading the students around the bonfire to cook dinner, and Liang En and the others immediately stepped forward to help when they saw it.Soon, everyone was chatting about their day jobs.

"You mean that the target of your excavation this time is a pagan relic located in a cave?" Professor Brown's eyes widened when everyone was sitting around the campfire eating, "This is much more powerful than I imagined. .”

"Actually, we can't be sure that the clue we found before is true, but we saw the Masonic logo on that stone wall." Liang En said and showed the photo he just took.

"In this case, even if there's nothing hidden here. I'm able to make back the money I paid for the land by selling what I found earlier and the story."

"This is indeed a good idea. After all, the price of this kind of thing is apart from their own craftsmanship and age. The most important thing is the story." Professor Brown nodded and said.

"For example, if there is such a gimmick, let's not talk about the price of other things. It should not be too difficult to double the price of this land."

Like the price of antiques, the price of land is also closely related to the attachments on it.For example, the land where a secret Masonic base is located is naturally much higher than the pure wilderness.

"By the way, do you still need people for the clean-up work?" Just as everyone was eating and drinking, Professor Brown suddenly asked Liang En.

"Of course, I think you have seen it in the photo just now. The hole is blocked by collapsed rubble, so the workload of excavation is far better than everyone imagined."

"If that's the case, I think my students can pick out a few people to help you tomorrow." After hearing Liang En's answer, Professor Brown put forward his own suggestion.
