Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 68 Trading
After night fell, Liang En and the others finally drove to this place with the highest per capita income in the United States and the widest gap between rich and poor.

Then, under the driving of Barry, the two drove through this small but very modern-looking small city, and then stopped in front of a creamy yellow two-storey building.

"Welcome, welcome my friends!" When Liang En and the others parked their car and walked into this room, Mr. Bruce welcomed them in the living room.

Soon, the three came to the study together, and then talked about the adventure.

"It's really hard work for you this time, especially when you unexpectedly encountered gunmen halfway along the way." After listening to Liang En and the others' narration, Bruce said with a sigh.

After the story is told, it's time to divide the spoils.At this time, Barry left here directly, because for him, everything is over now.

In this operation, in addition to sharing half of the cash seized from the black gun dealers, Barry will also get a bonus from Bruce.

After Barry left, two middle-aged men walked in quickly outside the door.They were antique jewelry appraisal experts invited by Bruce to confirm the true identity of the loot Liang En was looking for this time.

"That's right, these things are the treasures lost in several important bank robberies at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century." Ten minutes later, one of the experts put down the magnifying glass in his hand and said.

"And your brooch has also been confirmed. Both the brooch itself and the blue diamond on it are real. So it should be the brooch that your family lost before." Another expert continued. .

"As for the loss of those small gemstones above, it is very normal. After all, compared with this big blue diamond, those small gemstones are easier to get rid of without revealing their identities."

Then, the two experts began to examine other things in the treasure.However, unlike the brooch, the other items were only inspected hastily, so after half an hour, these treasures were estimated to have a rough value.

"Excluding the two pistols, the overall value of these things is about $75. It's just that it may take a long time for those banknotes to be sold."

"And the price of the two legendary revolvers is not very easy to determine, because this thing needs to find someone who likes it, otherwise it will be difficult to sell for a good price."

"As for these two guns, I hope to buy them." After the two experts estimated the price, Mr. Bruce said, "I am willing to pay $15 for it."

It turns out that Bruce's wife is an avid western fan, so Bruce naturally hopes to get these two commemorative pistols.

"Well, I might have to refuse your request." Liang En said after hearing Bruce's request. "Because I have a dream to open a museum, so it is natural that something of historical value like this can be preserved."

This is not Liang En making excuses, but a long-term goal he set for himself after he found out that he had a golden finger.After all, compared to ordinary people, it is entirely possible for him to find treasures that fill up a museum.

So compared to the short-term goal of making money, Liang En's long-term goal is to build his own famous museum.At the same time, it can also become a driving force for him to continue to take risks.

"Of course, although I won't sell these two pistols for money, if there are antiques I'm interested in in exchange, then I'm willing even if those antiques are cheap."

In the end, Liang En didn't say it to death, but left a tail behind.After all, in interpersonal communication, except for some principled issues, it is not a trivial matter to speak too hard.

And compared to the pistol that has already been picked up, Liang En is really eager to get some antiques that he has never seen before, so as to supplement his card library.

"You mean these things can be exchanged for other antiques?" After hearing Liang En's words, Bruce not only did not show a look of frustration, but became excited all of a sudden.

"If this is the case, you can go to my treasure house to have a look. If there is something you like, I can exchange these two pistols with you."

Soon, Liang En was brought to the basement of this house.This is a basement similar to a bank vault, and after entering the door, he found various antiques on the shelves on both sides.

"Ever since my grandfather was rich, he started buying all kinds of antiques, and this habit has continued into my generation."

Seeing Liang En's surprised eyes, Mr. Bruce said proudly. "Everything in this warehouse is what I am willing to trade. As long as the item you are interested in is less than $18, then we can trade it."

"Then thank you." Liang En bowed slightly, and then began to walk around the room. Of course, it was impossible to see so many things at once.

So he used four [Detection (N)] cards to scan the entire house, and identified the most historically valuable cultural relics in the three rooms.

Although in many previous attempts, Liang En found that the historical value does not represent the value of these things in terms of wealth, but compared to searching for a needle in a haystack, it is obviously easier to find valuable things in this way.

"Is this a holy object?" After checking, Liang En went straight to a shelf placed in the middle on the left hand side, and then pointed to an old small wooden box on the shelf and asked.

He asked because there was a small wooden cross on the box.In the Western tradition, generally only religious objects will have the sign of the cross.

"My grandfather bought it for more than 100 pounds at an auction in England, but there was no identification of the object at that time."

After taking the box and turning it over to see the label pasted on the bottom, Mr. Bruce walked to the computer by the door and knocked a few times, then said.

"The only thing that can be confirmed is that this silver-gilt ring is a 15th century ring, and the earliest owner was probably a woman because the ring is relatively small."

"How much is this ring worth?" As the most historically valuable item on the left hand side of the entire warehouse, Liang En naturally chose it first.

"$2500 is more appropriate." After looking at the ring and whispering to each other, the two experts said. "Because no matter in terms of texture, workmanship or story, this ring is a little bit worse. And in the whole of Europe, there are too many relics of various saints."

In fact, what the expert said was already very euphemistic.Since the Middle Ages, many unscrupulous priests and even other people of all kinds have been forging all kinds of fake holy objects, so that all kinds of fake holy objects are flooding.

And because there are no other documents that can be used to prove this ring, it is difficult to tell whether this thing is a real sacred object or a fake made by people at that time.

As for the $2500 price, really, it's just for Mr. Bruce's sake and to avoid the embarrassment of the ring being considered a fake.
