Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 459 Geneva

"I am very glad that you can donate such things to us." Two days later, in a church in downtown Osaka, the local bishop solemnly took over the 300-year-old priest from Nagasaki. Jesus grieves.

"I believe that the hall will be able to preserve this precious historical relic completely, and let the glory of the gods continue to shine in this city."

Because the old and important oil painting was kept in the hands of the priest during the whole process, so it was on this donation occasion that Liang En saw the whole picture of this thing for the first time.

This oil painting obviously came from Europe, no matter from the painting method or the style of the picture, it should be brought directly from Europe by the missionaries at that time.

However, this oil painting is not just a simple oil painting, but is packed in a golden wooden box, or a shrine, and this lacquer shrine is obviously made in the local Japanese style.

The strange thing is that the two things with different styles are perfectly integrated at this time, giving people a sense of unity. If you don't look carefully, you can't see that the box is a post-matching.

Obviously, after the missionaries came to Japan with this icon, the local believers specially prepared a shrine to preserve the image.

From this point, we can also see the preciousness of this shrine and portrait, because it is far more difficult to carry such a big guy than a painting in the era when Catholicism was strictly prohibited in Japan.

Interestingly, there are black scorched marks on one corner of the shrine. Of course, this mark is not due to poor preservation, but comes from a certain period of history.

According to the previous priest, this shrine came to their small church more than 70 years ago. At that time, a severely burned believer came here from Nagasaki and handed this shrine to them.

What made the priest feel a little regretful was that the believer was burned so badly that year, so he passed away less than a day after handing over the things to them. They didn't even know where the things came from.

But thinking about it now, this thing should have been stored somewhere in the city of Nagasaki in the past, and was taken to a remote countryside after the nuclear explosion.

Because at that time, almost all Japanese believed that the US military would land next, and then a brutal war would break out across Kyushu.

So after finding this thing, the believer's first reaction was to take this thing to the sparsely populated countryside to prevent it from being destroyed by the flames of war in the ensuing war.

And the stone carvings and relief slabs in this country church also came from the ruins of Nagasaki, and they were dismantled and reused from those destroyed buildings. That's why Liang En felt that these things were a bit inappropriate.

"Now Mr. Kimura's last wish has been fulfilled by you, so according to the will, I will now give you the previously agreed remuneration prepared by Mr. Kimura."

After the donation ceremony, Mr. Kimura's lawyer came over and said to Liang En, and then handed him a small box with a wax seal on the top of the box and opened the box under everyone's gaze.

The box contained a seal, a key, and a stack of letter paper. After opening the stack of paper, Liang En found that the location of a Swiss bank and the number of the vault were recorded on it.

And at the bottom of the box is a printed piece of paper with the process of how to get those things out of the bank.

"Very good, I think we are clear now." After carefully checking the items in a corner and making a phone call, Liang En shook hands with the lawyer and confirmed that the items had been handed over. Then she left the church with Fan Meng and Joan of Arc.

"Now I just don't know what this Mr. Kimura left for us." After walking out of the church for a while, Fan Meng looked at the box and said curiously, "I hope it's not some cheap stuff."

"Probably not, because I got some information from Pierce." Liang En was quite confident about the value of the last item, mainly because he had contacted Pierce before.

As a Japanese antique dealer who has long-term cooperation with the European antique industry, Pierce easily found the previous track of Mr. Kimura through his own relationship.

Through a series of investigations, Pierce was able to determine that Kimura left a considerable amount of wealth in Europe before leaving Europe for the last time, but the specifics could not be found out.

But only with these vague information, Liang En was able to use the [Prophecy (SR)] card to divination that the wealth really existed, and it was waiting for him in a certain bank vault in Switzerland.

After obtaining the detailed information and keys of the bank vault, Liang En and the others immediately left Japan and took a direct flight to Switzerland, and then came to Geneva, an important city in Switzerland.

As the most famous city in Switzerland, many people regard this city as the capital of Switzerland, but in fact the capital of Switzerland is Bern, the fourth largest city in Switzerland.

Geneva is located at the southwest corner of Lake Geneva where it flows into the Rhone River.It borders France on the south, east, and west sides. From the map, Geneva protrudes from the territory of Switzerland. The narrowest place in the middle is only 4 kilometers. Many facilities are shared with France, such as Covent Half of Lan International Airport belongs to France.

The word Geneva in the local language means the birth of water, which is also related to the special local environment. After entering the city, no matter from which angle of the city, you will notice a huge water column straight into the sky, which is the 140 in Lake Geneva. a meter high water column,

Contrary to what they had imagined, after entering the city, Liang En and the others found that the city environment was not as tidy as they had imagined, and it felt a bit chaotic.

Of course, this kind of chaos is just some fireworks, just like ordinary people's rooms.It is not like Paris, which gives people the kind of chaos that makes people feel that their personal safety is threatened.

Although there is still the prospect of spring, the tulips in the city are blooming one after another.Along the wide sidewalk by the lake are neat small flower beds full of tulips of various colors.

Looking from a distance, the splashing water droplets of the Grand Fountain, which is the symbol of Geneva, also refract colorful rays of light in the sun, against the colorful tulips that bloom like a brocade. Such a beautiful scenery will become an eternal memory at a glance.

However, Liang En and the others just glanced at these beautiful scenery, and then walked directly to a bank with a history of more than 200 years in the city center.

After all, the scenery is here, and it is impossible to run away with long legs, so rather than enjoying the scenery in the city, Liang En and the others hope to have a look at the prize after completing the task before.

Because they brought a full set of documents, and Mr. Kimura's lawyer had notified this side before, Liang En and the others used the things in their hands to go to the vault below the bank smoothly.

To their surprise, Mr. Kimura didn't just rent a small safe as his own treasure, but rented a whole warehouse in a bank warehouse.
