Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 188 Japanese Knife
Considering the specific situation in this area, Liang En uploaded everything he found to the Internet and made it public in addition to reporting to the local responsible department.

In addition, he also used a [Detection (N)] card to help him find the thing with the highest historical value in the entire cave.

As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that the thing with the highest historical value was not the account book that recorded the numerous crimes of the Japanese devils, but the rusty Type [-] saber.

Looking at this strange scene, Liang En quickly fell into deep thought, because this kind of card finds things with the highest historical value rather than the highest monetary value.

So under normal circumstances, the book that recorded a period of history should be more valuable than an ancient Japanese sword, but the current situation is obviously abnormal.

However, considering the reason for handing over the items to the local responsible personnel later, Liang En only took a look at the knife with his headlight, then put down the knife and exited the cave, and then began to spread today's discovery as much as possible. .

When the person in charge of the area arrived a day later, the number of viewers of the criminal evidence about the Japanese devils photographed by Liang En had already exceeded 10, and it was still growing.

After simple negotiations, Liang En completed the handover of the items. According to local laws, these Filipinos paid Liang En 1 pesos, which is equivalent to a bonus of about 150 pounds.

In addition, at Liang En's request, the group of people consulted their superiors, and then allowed Liang En to take away the rusty Japanese sword as a souvenir of the treasure hunt under the condition of taking pictures and keeping them on file.

"Is there anything special about this knife?" Fan Meng asked curiously after walking back to the plantation. "The other party allowed to take something from that box as a souvenir, why did you choose this rusty broken knife!"

"Because this knife is a bit different." Liang En took out the knife and explained, "The blade of this knife is not tightly combined with the knife case, which means that this knife and the knife case are not matched. "

"This was very common during World War II." Fan Meng raised his eyebrows and said. "I remember that many devil officers were samurai at that time, so they would carry the samurai swords left by their families on the battlefield."

"You're right, but the problem is that if it's the kind of modified knife, the blade and the blade will be very tightly combined instead of loose as it is now." Liang En said, pinching the blade with two fingers Shake it lightly.

As Liang En exerted a little force, the entire blade visibly shook.Obviously, this should not happen under normal circumstances, because it is impossible for the shaking blade to cause damage to the target.

Especially for those who carry family heirloom knives on the battlefield, this loose assembly method can easily cause damage to the knives, which is obviously not conducive to the protection of knives.

"It's really strange." Fan Meng looked at the dangling knife and said, "If the owner of this knife is really a descendant of a samurai, it's hard to imagine that the other party would ruin the family symbol like this."

"More importantly, the rust on this knife is also very strange." Liang En stopped at this moment, and then gently rubbed the back of the knife against the bark on the side of the road.

Following Liang En's movements, some yellow-brown rust stains fell from the back of the knife, and then some black that looked like plastic was exposed.

"The rust is glued on." Fan Meng's eyes widened suddenly, and he found that the knife should have been painted with something similar to plastic, and then a layer of rust was attached to it.

"I think it should be so." Liang En nodded. "Before I suspected this thing because I thought the rust on it looked a bit fake, as if it was artificially made later, but I didn't expect it to be fake rust."

For Liang En, this knife was the most valuable thing in the cave. After all, although those psychotropic drugs were valuable, they were definitely not something he should touch.Therefore, even if the origin of this knife is not known for the time being, it is undoubtedly the most valuable.

After returning to the plantation, Liang En began to study the knife in his hand. After further inspection, he found that the condition of the knife was worse than he thought.

Although most parts of the knife body are still intact, there are also many places where the original layer of coating has disappeared, and a lot of rust has appeared in unprotected places.

Some of these rust spots are only on the surface, but others seem to have penetrated into the depths of the knife, which means that under normal circumstances, the knife cannot be repaired anyway.

After confirming this point, Liang En also understood why those Filipino experts were willing to give him the knife, because those experts also discovered this, so they chose to give Liang En the scrap iron in their eyes.

Obviously, this level of damage is basically irreparable with current technology.Even the [Repair (N)] card cannot be completely repaired.

Because a section of the main body of this knife has been completely rusted, although it is not broken now, according to the traditional repair method, this section of the knife body must be recast [-]%, so the value of the entire knife will naturally drop greatly.

What's more, [Repair (N)] can repair the card at the level of a top repair master, and if the knife blade is rotten and wants to repair it, even a top mage can only cut the knife completely , or add a paragraph in the middle.

In other words, if you want to restore the knife to its original state, you will probably need to consume a precious [Repair (R)] card.

Although this knife does not look like a new product, even if the Japanese knife is a historical knife, the value is very different, so how to repair it needs further identification.

So Liang En carefully removed the handle of the knife. This process was not easy, because the stem of the knife was obviously more rusted than the body of the knife. It took him a long time to remove the tattered handle of the knife. .

"Hey, it's actually a Taidao!" Liang En frowned slightly after taking off the deformed hilt.Because he discovered that the stem of the knife hidden in the handle was actually curved.

The reason why Liang En found it strange was that among the ancient Japanese knives that have been handed down to today, almost all of them are fighting knives, and this situation is mainly because compared with Tai Dao, the popular time of fighting knives is closer to today.

Although the history of a knife cannot completely determine the value of this knife, if two knives are very similar in other aspects, the longer the time of natural circulation, the more precious it will be.

At the same time, he also found that the shape of the knife stem and the groove carved on the handle to accommodate the knife stem obviously did not match well, and this was why Liang En could feel that the knife was not properly installed when he shook the knife body just now. stable reason.

For those devil officers who bring family heirloom swords to the battlefield, although they need to use the standard knife equipment issued according to the regulations, they must modify the knife equipment to suit their own blades when using them.

So this kind of rough installation feels like the previous owner of this knife got a good knife locally, so he replaced his original blade with the current blade to hide the current knife true identity.
