LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 30 Reason
The moment the box was opened, four cards appeared in Liang En's mind.
Three of them are N cards, namely two [Detection (N)] and one [Identification (N)]. The other card is the first card obtained this time: [Logic Enhancement (R)]
[Logic enhancement (R): Many times, those who hide their wealth will choose a series of riddles as a protective shell, hiding their treasures under layers of puzzling puzzles. At this time, some extra help is essential.
Skill Card (Passive) (Permanent) When holding this card, the card will have an effect, making the user's logical thinking more rigorous and making it easier to find clues from the information they master. 】
"Ah, finally there is another skill card." Liang En had a smile on his face after looking at the new card he got today. Because he prefers this type of skill card to those one-time consumption cards.
After saving up four [Appraisal (N)] cards, Liang En discovered that just like the previous [Detection (N)], the [Appraisal (N)] card also showed that it could synthesize new cards. However, due to various considerations, he did not choose to synthesize those cards.
After reading the content on the new card, he began to check the items in the box. Most of this small box contains gold bars of the same size, which appear to be only slightly larger than an adult male's thumb.
After taking out a few gold bars and looking at them, Liang En found that these gold bars were probably cast privately. Not only were they very rough in appearance, but there was also only a stamp with a capital B in a box on the surface.
Although these gold bars are not large in size, each one is heavy in the palm of your hand. After weighing it with the electronic scale he carried with him, he found that each of these gold bars weighed about 200 grams.
After roughly counting, there are more than 570 gold bars in the box. Considering that each gold bar is about the same size, the total of these gold bars is about 110kg.
In the middle of these gold bars are two silver boxes the size of soap boxes. When you open the boxes, they are all filled with jewelry.
The difference is that the jewelry in one box is inlaid with a large number of gems, while the jewelry in the other box is not inlaid with many gems, but it is decorated with enamel mosaic and other crafts, which is exquisite.
After spending some time moving the gold bars and jewelry in the box back to the car, Liang En sat in the darkness of the cab and took a few deep breaths to calm down before starting the car and returning to the city.
Early the next morning, Liang En got up at 6 a.m. after almost no sleep all night, and then drove back to his home in Baojian Town.
After saying hello to his mother, Liang En went directly back to his room to study the gold and jewelry he had found before.
As a result, during detailed inspection, he found that several pieces of gold were densely engraved with many words.
Obviously, the treasure hunter also considered that time might corrode various things, so he simply chose to engrave the message he wanted to leave on gold.
It has to be said that the treasure hoarder made the right choice. Even though the reinforced wooden box used to contain these treasures had undergone multiple anti-corrosion treatments, it was still severely corroded, but the words on the gold were just as if they were engraved yesterday.
These texts are all in French and were left by Jacques de Briand. The content inside tells the life of a nobleman who was exiled overseas during the French Revolution.
The whole story begins with the escape of Louis XVI. When Louis failed to escape and was trapped in St. Menourde, he was not completely isolated, but had the opportunity to communicate with the outside world.
But what Louis XVI didn't expect was that the National Assembly could react so quickly and escorted him back to Paris the day after he was discovered, leaving almost all of his contacts with the outside world empty and unable to do so. Save yourself.
It was at that time that Jacques de Briand met Louis XVI as a messenger. At that time, Louis XVI asked him to give the previous rabbit lock to a count.
But what I didn't expect was that the National Guard was already active around St. Menoulde at that time. Although Jacques had disguised himself as much as possible at that time, he was still captured and imprisoned for several days.
After he was released, the rabbit lock was nowhere to be found. Then, the political situation in France changed dramatically. Louis XVI and his wife were pushed to the guillotine, and the nobles also began to flee.
It was during this process that Jacques and the count he was looking for met together on the way to escape, and then fled to England together.
A series of impacts brought about by the French Revolution spread throughout Europe, especially for Britain, which was a trouble maker. It was naturally a very routine operation to support various organizations that opposed the French Republic at that time.
Naturally, as a loyal minister of the Bourbon dynasty. Jacques and the previous count also joined one of the organizations. And the earl became the person responsible for raising funds for this organization because of his title and ability.
This organization continued for many years, but a large number returned to France when Napoleon became emperor. After all, for these nobles, so-called loyalty is just a bargaining chip to obtain benefits.
Since Napoleon was willing to recognize their identity and return some of their wealth, it was not unusual for them to kneel and swear allegiance to Napoleon.
Those who returned to France also included the count, but after Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena and Charles X was restored, the count severed ties with the British side for various reasons.
For Jacques de Briand, this was a very bad thing, because at that time, the organization still had a lot of wealth left in the UK, and at the same time, during the long period of exile in the UK, everyone was also in the UK. Many properties were purchased.
Therefore, even though most of the personnel in the organization have returned to France, Jacques De Briand has remained in the UK and is working diligently to manage those industries.
After severing contact with the count, some people did come to Jacques and wanted to take away the wealth.
However, because the organization at that time only stipulated that the earl had the right to take away the wealth from his hands, Jacques did not hand over the wealth to other people out of compliance with the promises among the nobles.
It was not until 1842 that a serious illness made Jacques de Briand realize that he was likely to die soon. So the 70-year-old man at that time began to deal with the wealth belonging to the organization that he was in charge of.
He sold off all the properties of those organizations in the UK and exchanged them all for gold bars. He hid them in this box together with the wealth that the previous organizations had raised from the nobles, and then left them in the Bible he often used. Secret records.
The reason for this is also very simple, because he really couldn't find anyone reliable to help him continue to search for the earl and return these things to the other party, so he decided to use this method to let the gods choose an inheritance for him. By.
But what he didn't expect was that he had to wait for more than a hundred years. Until Liang En found the information left by Jacques De Briand through a series of mistakes, and then followed the clues to finally dig out the wealth.
