Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 149 Auction

The reason why Liang En came to Toronto this time was because he was invited by the New York real estate tycoon Mr. Bruce who commissioned Liang En to come to the United States to find the lost gemstone brooch of his ancestors.

According to the email Liang En received in Newfoundland before, the other party invited him mainly because he hoped to have a reliable expert to help him when participating in the yacht auction.

Because Liang En had already demonstrated his ability in the last entrustment, Mr. Bruce's hospitality work was very good this time. For example, the accommodation he arranged for them was a five-star hotel.

For Liang En, who had only stayed in four-star hotels before, the five-star hotel gave him a significantly better feeling.At least the facilities in the bathroom alone make people feel worth the price of admission.

It's just that Liang En didn't enjoy the bathing facilities here. After hastily cleaning up the stains on his body, he returned to the living room and began to check the results of the enhancement just now.

The strengthening of body coordination can be said to be immediate. For example, now Liang En can easily stand on his head and maintain it for a long time.

Before, even if his body had been strengthened and had enough strength, he would wobble and fall to the ground not long after he stood upside down.

In addition, some of the previously mastered skills are now much smoother to use, instead of being able to do it right after the first enhancement, but a little stiff.

In addition to the fine-tuning of the body, Liang En found that a lot of knowledge related to navigation and combat appeared in his mind, which can be said to contain the wisdom crystallization of the Vikings in these two aspects for hundreds of years.

"If I can find a boat and eight men, I can go directly to the sea to rob now." After searching the dense list of knowledge in his mind for the first time, Liang En complained subconsciously.

It's just that after sorting it out briefly, he found that the part of the knowledge he acquired that is still useful today is rare.

For example, most of the knowledge related to navigation is how to determine one's own position and find the route in the vast sea.

If placed in the Viking Age, this is of course the most precious knowledge, because in Europe at that time, only the Vikings were able to sail in the open sea relying on this knowledge, while others could only rely on the coastline to sail.

But let alone the convenient navigation methods such as GPS, even novices can use clocks, sextants and compass after training to determine all the data needed for the boat to travel.

In the same way, no matter how ingenious the Vikings' method of using smoke and drying to preserve food is, it is far inferior to the food stored in cold storage or canned on board today.

So if there is anything about this thing that works in the modern age, it might just be how to live on a wobbly ship and quickly climb a rope mast.

The same is true for the inheritance of Viking berserkers. After all, times have changed now. A gun is far more useful in combat than holding a shield in the left and an ax or spear in the right.

However, Liang En is very satisfied with these skills. After all, he has been interested in such things since he was a child, so even if they don't have much effect, he still likes these skills from the bottom of his heart.

And for Liang En, who is a bit of a hamster fanatic.Before, just getting the body of a Viking warrior always made him feel that he hadn't finished his rewards, but now the newly acquired fighting skills of a berserker just complemented this aspect and made him feel full of a sense of accomplishment.

In addition, he also got an unexpected joy, that is, he harvested a variety of herbal medicines and special medicinal wine formulas used by the Vikings in their voyages and battles.And these formulas can just be used by 【Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (N)】.

Among them, the most useful ones for Liang En are some methods of making yogurt, cheese and beer.

If these technologies are used on the farm, it may be possible to produce some unique flavored dairy products and wine through 【Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (N)】.

"It's a pity that there are too few ruins of a level similar to the Vinland Colony, but think about it. If there are ruins of this level everywhere, how can it highlight its preciousness."

Just as he was thinking, Liang En lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep.This time he slept very comfortably, compared to the rough and narrow hard bed and the slightly cold cabin on the fishing boat.The environment in the hotel is just amazing.

As a result, when he woke up the next morning, Liang En turned on his phone and was surprised to see that the time displayed on the phone had already reached 9:30 in the morning.

Fortunately, all hotels of this level have food delivery services, so Liang En quickly called for a breakfast through the intercom to fill his stomach.

Because the agreed time is a week later, Liang En and the others are taking this opportunity to take a good tour of Canada's largest city.

Of course, because this period of time is not too long, their travel is limited to taking pictures and checking in at a few important places, and the rest of the time is mainly spent in the hotel to deal with their own affairs.

Among them, Fan Meng mainly sweated in the hotel gym and kept himself in shape, while Liang En began to study the details of this yacht auction.

This yacht auction was organized by a Swedish rich man. After the age of 60, the rich man handed over the family property to his son, and then started various adventures by himself.

It's a pity that this rich man is a standard person with a big food addiction. He spent a lot of money and energy for three years, but he didn't find any valuable historical relics.

Fortunately, this uncle is rich enough, so he was able to buy some good things through various auctions to satisfy his hobby of pursuing ancient history.

And the other party came to Toronto this time, hoping to hold an auction here to exchange collections with the local rich people, and then go south to Massachusetts for an expedition.

Before Liang En heard Pierce say that those rich people would organize some small auctions in private, and often some very valuable things would be circulated through such private auctions.

It's just that even an antique dealer like Pierce and his family, who have lived in this industry for more than a hundred years, can only provide some commodities for this type of transaction, and are not qualified to participate in the auction.

That's why Liang En agreed to Bruce's invitation, because he is in this business now, so he will naturally be interested in high-end auctions related to this business.

Unexpectedly, on the third day after he stayed in this hotel, he received a call from the shipping tycoon, and then got an invitation from a young man in a suit in the hotel auditorium.

There are two types of invitations for this auction, one of which is sent to the guest by the shipping tycoon, and the other is sent to the friend or entourage brought by the guest.

Originally, according to Liang En's previous thinking, he should have participated in this auction with the attached invitation of Bruce's invitation.

After all, it's good for an ordinary person to enter this kind of circle for the first time, and it doesn't matter what type of invitation he takes.It's just that Liang En didn't expect the organizer of the auction to make up an invitation for him.

In addition to the invitation, the other party also sent more than a dozen membership cards of entertainment venues all over the world. Maybe this is the way rich people communicate.
