Chapter 120: I Really Found the Treasure!
The blue sky and white clouds, the endless mountains and hills and lawns and woods under the golden sun, accompanied by the murmuring water and the lazy sheep scattered in the lawn and trees, the small flowers blooming on the grassy slopes, the lake is as horizontal as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, and the occasional waterfowl passing by, which has not disturbed it at all, but has made it more quiet.
Wangwong –
Arthur sat lazily on the natural gently sloping grass, leaning against a large tree with a canopy like an umbrella, and old Dean lay obediently on his lap, with a metal detector on the side, raised his hand and threw out the toy ball in his hand, and the three Labradors screamed while running on the lawn like black lightning and chased them out.
And old Dean, who was lying on his stomach, also raised his head vigilantly, looked at the three 'puppies' who were chasing and fighting, let out a low roar in his throat, and then barked twice.
"Wang-"
"Huh. Arthur couldn't help but smile and reached out and stroked its head, "Okay, let them play, you can't run." ”
As if Arthur's words had done their job, old Dean whimpered a few times, then lay down on his stomach again, his chin pressed against the lawn, his eyelids blinking lazily.
The three Labradors who had found the toy ball rushed back, Arthur took out the toy ball from Bert's mouth, smiled and reached out to stroke Bert's head, and praised: "That's good!"
Bert was very happy with the compliment of his master, and his tail wagged like a rattle, and kept arching into Arthur's arms.
"Hehe, come, continue—"
As he spoke, Arthur raised his hand, and the three dogs all raised their heads, staring at the orange toy ball in Arthur's hand, Arthur threw it hard, and the three dogs ran out again.
I have to say that the idyllic life in the English countryside is indeed comfortable, and you can kill time by doing anything.
Taking out the treasure map in his pocket again, he picked up the pen and crossed out a circle area, and ruled out another place, looking at the other two red circles left on the printed satellite map, Arthur couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, if these two circles could not be found again, then his treasure hunt would have to come to an end for the time being.
Thinking of this, Arthur got up from the lawn, patted the dust on his pants, and while bending down to pick up the metal detector, he said to old Dean who looked up at him: "Let's go, let's try our luck near the Temple of Diana!"
Old Dean got up from the lawn, walked to Arthur's lap, and followed Arthur down the hill, while the other three dogs chased and ran back, Arthur took the toy ball out of Anna's mouth, put it in his pocket, turned on the metal detector, and scanned it all the way.
"Hum—"
Suddenly, the metal detector emitted a high-frequency buzz, which made Arthur shake all over, and with an expression of disbelief, the metal detector in his hand re-arced, returning to the area where it had been buzzing as soon as it had been swept before.
"Buzz—"
The frequency of the humming sound became higher and higher, and there was a clicking sound, Arthur's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his hands holding the metal detector trembled a little, and he immediately began to readjust the detection depth of the metal detector excitedly.
Didi Di Di –
Sure enough, after the detection depth was readjusted, Arthur was scanning the area before him with the probe, and the metal probe immediately chirped.
“yes!yes!”
Arthur shook his fist a few times in ecstasy and shouted loudly, causing the four dogs to bark along.
"Haha, what is called double happiness, what is called joy and joy, luck is coming, it can't be stopped, haha... ”
On the slope, Arthur happily looked up to the sky and sighed that he must have found something this time.
Luck is like this, many things, always feel difficult, like a moat as insurmountable, but inadvertently, it is not very effortless to do, and sometimes, seemingly inconspicuous little things, try your best to work hard, but just can't do it well. Is it not enough ability?
Neither. No matter what you do, strength is one thing, and luck is also not negligible.
"Five meters, haha, it's still not shallow!"
Arthur said with ecstasy on his face as he took out some small red flags from a small bag hanging from the metal detector and began to carefully scan the detector to delineate the scope of the 'treasure'.
"Don't touch the flag!"
Arthur loudly stopped the three dogs who were playing with the flag with their paws, and looked at the area of about two square meters on the grassy slope that was encircled by the red flag, although it was an irregular shape, but the area was not small, which showed that the scale of the underground 'treasure' would not be too small.
Taking out his mobile phone in his pocket, Arthur called the castle, and soon the call was picked up by Paul, the butler.
"Haha... Paul, I have good news, do you want to know?" Arthur didn't directly tell Paul that he might have found the 'treasure', but laughed and sold off.
"Hehe, Lord, whatever the good news, I'll congratulate you first. Butler Paul smiled and said on the phone, to be honest, with a profit of $60 million ahead, no matter how good news there is, I am afraid it will not shock him.
"I may have found the treasure ... ”
"Hehe, congratulations. Are you really lucky that I need to come over and help you?"
Paul, the butler on the other end of the phone, was also slightly stunned, but soon congratulated with a smile, he didn't think much about it, just thought that his earl had found some small things.
"I really need help, it's at least five meters deep, and the metal detector detection area is at least two square meters in size, this time, I may have found some great treasure!"
"What?!" Hearing Arthur's words, the butler Paul suddenly became calm, and raised his voice in astonishment and asked, "Lord, are you sure, a five-meter-deep area of two square meters?"
"Hehe, I'm pretty sure, I've planted all the red flags, circled all the areas that have reacted, you can come and take a look now, manual excavation is definitely not good, it's too deep, I can only find a small excavator to come over." ”
"Oh God, this is really ... It's unbelievable!"
After making sure that it was not a joke, the butler Paul was completely shocked this time, his own earl's luck was simply going against the sky, if he really dug up the treasure, he had to wonder if his own earl was the son of God.
"I, I'll come right over, where are you?"
Arthur stood on the grassy slope and looked at the castle that was becoming more and more majestic in the sunlight in the distance, smiled and said the specific location, and after hanging up the phone, he looked at the area under his feet and stomped his feet happily.
"Hehe, I hope don't let me down, you are a real treasure, not a prank of your ancestors, otherwise, I will be angry to death... ”
After about ten minutes, the butler Paul trotted all the way up the hillside, looking at the one man and four dogs standing at the bottom of the hillside with a strange expression, and the area circled on the lawn with a small red flag, his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly, and he looked at the young earl who was waving at him with his head up, and his face was full of excitement and happy smile.
"God, Lord, it was like a dream that he had really been wrung to find something, who would have thought that the treasure would be hidden here. ”
Listening to the housekeeper Paul's emotion, Arthur smiled and said, "I measured it just now, and it is almost 150 steps from the direction of the tree on the hillside, I don't think it will be a coincidence. ”
"The tree?" said Paul, the butler, as he looked at the towering tree with a huge canopy on the grassy slope, standing alone on the lawn of the entire area, his eyes shining brightly.
"God, this can't be!" exclaimed Paul, the butler, with a change of face.
"Why can't it be?" Arthur frowned a little inexplicably as he looked at Paul the butler, waiting for his explanation.
"It was eight hundred years ago, and His Excellency Thomas, the first Earl of the Boleyn family, got this fief and planted an oak tree himself, and God, if this is really a treasure related to Count Thomas, oh my God... I can't imagine that this is not just about money, but the value and meaning they represent will shock the whole of England and the whole world!"
Butler Paul was so excited that his tone had changed completely, his face was slightly red, and today's shock and surprise were simply the most gaffes he had in so many years.
And Arthur was also shocked, eight hundred years, the first Earl of Boleyn?
"Ahem... Probably not... Probably, I'm just guessing that it has something to do with this tree, don't everyone like to find a reference when hiding treasures, how many steps to the east, how many steps to the south, I guess. Arthur's eyes widened, swallowed, and explained unconfidently.
