Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 465 Party
It was an ordinary morning, when Liang En finished washing up and was about to eat breakfast, Joan of Arc came in from the outside, holding a thick letter in her hand besides the newspaper.

"I have a strange letter today." Joan put the letter on the table and said, "I feel that this envelope is not a normal letter, because the envelope looks a bit too big, and the style looks like Also different."

"Let me see." After hearing what Joan said, Liang En was also aroused and took the letter. Sure enough, this letter looked completely different from ordinary letters. There is a wax seal.

To be honest, in this era, very few people use wax seals in the process of writing letters. Except for some young people who find it fun, only some old antiques may still use these things.

After turning over the envelope curiously, Liang En immediately understood the source of the letter, because the sign of the Golden Dawn was clearly printed on the wax seal.

When the envelope was opened, there was a thin piece of parchment inside, on which was written an invitation letter in a special blue ink, inviting Liang En to a summer gathering of the Golden Dawn.

After seeing this letter, Liang En immediately called to inform him that he would participate in this gathering. After all, for Golden Dawn, which is a loose organization, there are only two big gatherings a year except for special events.

One of them is summer, and the other is winter, which happens to be staggered from the annual social season in London, England, so that everyone's schedule is easier.

After all, most of the people participating in this organization are the upper class in the UK, and only this group of people have money and spare time to do research in this area, but this group of people will always be busy during the social season, so everyone's gatherings should be as much as possible. Stagger social season.

In fact, Liang En has never been very interested in aristocratic salons or banquets. Fortunately, although most of the participants in the Golden Dawn organization are upper-class people, this kind of gathering is generally very relaxed and not as troublesome as the aristocratic gathering.

More importantly, at this party, everyone often exchanged a series of secret information and various items that could never be obtained in public, and these things were also what Liang En needed.

According to the regulations, each participant had better bring some things for communication, but the participants can choose whether to bring items or information. The only requirement is that it must be related to the supernatural.

This was definitely not a complicated matter for Liang En. The archaeological survey report of the palace on Crete could fully meet the internal requirements of the Golden Dawn.

So two days later, Liang En came to London, England alone, and then went to a mansion in the Knightsbridge area that was owned by a member of the Golden Dawn.

As imagined before, this gathering was held in a very relaxed salon format. Everyone got together in twos and threes, and from time to time someone came to the stage to show their knowledge or items.

Liang En's eyes were naturally wide-opened on such an occasion. This place indeed displayed many things that he had never seen or even heard of before.

For example, an old man showed a manuscript marked as Paracelsus, which recorded some seemingly mysterious alchemy runes.

Because Liang En had mastered alchemy, he quickly saw that this manuscript was about the effect of alchemy's separation method, and even poisonous substances could be used to make powerful medicines.

According to the statement above, poisonous substances can be divided into three primitive elements of mercury, sulfur, and salt by means of distillation, sublimation, corruption, and dissolution.

It's just that the manuscripts collected by the other party are not complete, and only a part is displayed, so there is no part of the more critical three original elements that are purified and recombined to achieve sublimation.

At the same time, from this manuscript, Liang En also saw that the members of Golden Dawn have a very solid academic level in this area, because the translation on this manuscript is very accurate, and it can be seen that the translator has a solid foundation in cryptography and linguistics .

This also proves that the group of people in the Golden Dawn participated in the organization as individuals, but most of them have a whole animal behind them, including archaeologists, antique appraisers, historians and even cryptographers. team.

Although there are often scenes in movies where an explorer or archaeologist reads out ancient texts after seeing them, or sees something and then identifies what it is, these are actually just deductions.

After all, whether it is archaeology, cultural relic identification or linguistics, it is worth learning for a lifetime. Few people can achieve considerable achievements in many aspects, but human energy is limited.

Of course, Liang En is a special case in this regard, but opening cards and learning honestly are two concepts, so his case has almost no reference value.

In the first two days of the exchange meeting, everyone exchanged their knowledge and items with each other. Because the relic dug up by Liang En on Crete happened to be related to ancient European legends, he was specially arranged to discuss this aspect during the prime time. speech.

As the discoverer, Liang En has the right to obtain all archaeological-related materials, and after a period of joint excavation by the international joint archaeological team, the veil of the Minoan palace was gradually lifted.

So in this speech, Liang En focused on the intricate structure inside the palace, a large number of objects and murals related to cattle, and a large number of weapons found in the palace, especially many double-headed axes.

The members of the Golden Dawn were very excited about this discovery, because it all fits with the legend of the tauren in the labyrinth of Crete.

For the Golden Dawn in pursuit of all kinds of paranormal, this is definitely a very valuable discovery, because it proves that some legends are not just legends, but actually exist in the real world.

So during the free question-and-answer time that followed, Liang En gathered at least 1/3 of the members of the Golden Dawn here and began to ask about various details, especially about a lot of content that he was interested in inside the ruins.

In the free discussion that followed in the evening, most of the discussions were related to the information Liang En brought this time.At least in everyone's eyes, this can be regarded as the most valuable discovery since the establishment of the Golden Dawn organization.

It's a pity that everyone can't discuss much valuable things just by talking about it, so many people began to apply directly to Liang En at the small-scale reception after the dinner to go to the archaeological site to get close to the ruins and cultural relics.

This type of archaeological site is often semi-public. After all, the Western world is very important to public opinion, and semi-public archaeology is an opportunity to popularize archaeological knowledge to the public.

Of course, there are certain thresholds for entering the archaeological battlefield. Fortunately, for these people present, their identities allow them to easily cross those thresholds.

Therefore, Liang En also made a favor, counting up a list of those who were willing to go and sending it to the archaeological site, and then the other party sent an invitation letter directly to the list.
