Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 563 Departure, target New York

For Steward Lubzon, finding the missing Duke's crown as soon as possible is obviously the most important thing.So early the next morning, they received four full kraft paper bags.

"I think it's really difficult to find the crown now." After turning out the things inside, Liang En looked at the photos with a pensive expression, because these photos looked really bad:

Some of them are remakes of oil paintings, and the only seven or eight photos facing the real thing are all very old black and white photos, so that the details cannot be seen clearly at all. "

"No way, the information just now said that they sold these things in the early 20th century, and it is very good to have so many images left in that era." Fan Meng, who was helping to search for them, shook his head and said.

Liang En had to admit that what Fan Meng said was right. After all, it was very rare to take pictures or portraits at that time, and many people might not be able to keep images of themselves in their lifetime.

Fortunately, such things will have detailed written records and drawings, so it is not too difficult to rely on these ancient materials according to the pictures.

"Actually, this is just a small problem, two gentlemen." Joan of Arc, who was also reviewing the information on the side, knocked on the edge of the table and said, "The biggest problem now is how to solve the problems brought about by 100 years of time. The problem."

"Don't be nervous about Rangna, I already have my own ideas about this." Liang En smiled and shook his hand and said, "At least we found the sales records of that year, so we should be able to trace the past step by step."

Unlike those more common jewelry, there is not much gold and no gemstones on the crown of the British Duke, so the real value lies in the history of the thing itself rather than the raw materials on it.

This means that if the crown still exists, it should still appear in the form of a crown, instead of being destroyed and remade into new jewelry like those ordinary jewelry.

And this is an important reason why Liang En is willing to take over this job, because at least he can be sure that what he can find does exist, not a fake or destroyed thing.

"That means we have to go on a business trip again." Jeanne shook her head helplessly and said, "Because the records show that the crown was sold to a millionaire in the United States at that time."

"Why Americans?" Fan Meng asked with some doubts. He has lived in England for so many years and he also knows the habits of the British, for example, he always vaguely looks down on Americans.

And a duke can be said to be the face of the United Kingdom. In this case, it always seems strange to sell the crown of honor to the Americans.

As for Americans buying this kind of thing, there is not much surprise, because at the beginning of the 20th century, those wealthy people in the United States were very envious of the nobles in Europe, so they naturally pursued everything they had.

The most famous of these is the legendary Million American Bride, when many daughters of wealthy families from the United States married British nobles.For example, the mother of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during World War II was a bride from the United States.

Of course, there are not many such unions for love, and most of them are a transaction: the rich Americans have obtained capital to show off, and these European nobles have obtained much-needed money.

"You are right, but the problem is that even if the British look down on the Americans, they are willing to pay." Liang En shrugged and smiled.

"For those down-and-out British nobles, they naturally sell what they have to the person who is willing to bid the most. At this time, they must not care about the so-called decency."

"Well, this is quite in line with the British character." After listening to Liang En's explanation, Fan Meng nodded in approval. "I'm going to book a ticket now. If there are no accidents, we can leave tomorrow."

Because of the habit of traveling on business, Liang En and the others actually packed their luggage, and they could take off directly by plane as soon as they bought the air tickets.

There is another piece of good news for Liang En on this trip, that is, this time he can finally take his ravens out together, instead of keeping them at home like before.

The reason for this good news is that Liang En accidentally discovered [Treasure of Atreus (SR)] when he was busy at home these days, this card can hold living things in addition to things.

Of course, it is also true in most cases that the card said that this space cannot hold living things. For example, Liang En used insects and small animals to experiment before and found that they could not be locked at all, and it was even more impossible to put them in. .

It wasn't until after returning home this time that he wanted to put some food in it, but the raven jumped in front of him, that he unexpectedly discovered that the raven could be put into this space.

After further experiments, he found that the creatures that had a direct connection with mysticism were the only living creatures that could be contained in this space.

That is to say, the only ones who can enter that space now are Joan of Arc, Elizabeth Barto, and the three fat birds who are obviously more than a lap larger than ordinary ravens.

Although it's a pity that we can't hold all the living things, it's great to be able to do this now. After all, even carrying three birds with him can bring Liang En a stronger detection ability, let alone two. alive.

Because they wanted to depart as early as possible, Liang En and the others simply bought a ticket for 6 o'clock in the morning of the day. In this way, during the 7 hours and 40 minutes of the plane's flight across the Atlantic, the three of them all caught up on sleep on the plane.

After all, they set off at 3:40 in the morning in order to catch up with the plane. Even if the three of them were much stronger than ordinary people, they still couldn't handle it so early.

When the plane landed at Kennedy Airport, the local time was 8:40 in the morning. Because they didn’t have breakfast before, Liang En and the others had breakfast at the airport as soon as they got out of customs. The beginning of the trip.

This was Liang En's second visit to the city of New York, but because there were very urgent things to do when they came last time, they didn't take a good look at the city before.

As the largest city and port in the United States, New York is a world-class city that directly affects the global economy, finance, media, politics, education, entertainment and fashion.

Many international organizations, multinational companies and banks, including the headquarters of the United Nations, are headquartered in New York. For many multinational companies, it is a dream to arrange their headquarters here.

It is also for this reason that people in this city are always in a hurry, and countless people come here from all over the world to pursue their dreams.

Strictly speaking, Liang En and the others also came here to pursue their dreams, but what they pursued was a cultural relic that had been missing for nearly a hundred years.

Because the work this time is either urgent or urgent, or neither urgent nor urgent.So on the first day they arrived in New York, Liang En and the three of them didn't put themselves into work directly, but simply found a hotel and stayed for a good day.

It wasn't until the next day when they were about to rest that the three of them took what they needed and went straight to the New York Public Library, ready to find what they wanted.
