Chapter 664: Quid pro quo
These artifacts looted from China by the British, along with the Dunhuang murals and scrolls that Stein stole from the Dunhuang Cave between 1907 and 1914, became the treasures of the British Museum's Oriental Art Gallery.
Under this plunder, the collection of cultural relics in the British Museum has grown rapidly from 70,000 to 7 million today! A large part of them are precious cultural relics plundered by England from China.
And a large number of precious Chinese cultural relics have been preserved, and England is not the only country. A copy of the British Museum. France has the Louvre, the Slavs have Hermitage, and the Mayflower Confederation has the Metropolitan......
According to the previous statistics of the Chinese Cultural Relics Society, during the catastrophe of the past 100 years in China, more than 10 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics were lost to the countries of Europa, the Federation of Mayflowers, Dongying, and other countries and regions.
Although, there are already international conventions with the slogan "Give cultural heritage back to its creators".
However, these international conventions are not very binding. In other words, because the countries of Europa, the Mayflower Federation, and the people of Dongying knew the value of these things, they deliberately left a back door for themselves, and they were not willing to return these things at all.
To give a very simple example - on July 12, 2005, Huaxia Yuan blue and white "Guiguzi Descending Mountain" jar was auctioned at Christie's in England. It was sold at a sky-high price of 230 trillion Chinese coins.
230 trillion yuan of Huaxia coins, this number is enough to change the life trajectory of a few, or even a dozen people.
And this Yuan blue and white "Guiguzi Descending Mountain" jar is just one of the precious cultural relics that were plundered by England and other Europa countries, the Mayflower Federation and Dongying. The value of these hundreds of thousands of high-quality products is multiplied by a sky-high transaction amount. Its total value is comparable to the annual gross national product of some of the world's larger countries.
How could the Europa countries, the Mayflower Federation, and the East Ying return something of such value? If they did, their museums would be empty. What's more, with the revival and rise of China, the influence of culture is expanding day by day, and the valuation of these things will further rise.
Therefore, when the relevant international conventions were concluded, the Europa countries, the Mayflower Federation and Dongying left themselves two ways back - one is that there is a corresponding limit on the retrospective period, and if the loss period exceeds this period, it will not be protected by the convention. The other is that the Convention is not binding on all States and must be signed by two States that have ratified the Convention for it to enter into force.
In this way, many of the cultural relics that were taken away from China have no power and qualifications to recover!
With such a thing in advance, the people of Europa and the Mayflower Federation naturally couldn't say anything. As for the people in the generations of the Dongying Divine World, they have already been taken down by Xiao Yu'er. I don't even have the qualifications to speak at all.
However, this Mjolnir is indeed very important to the people of Europa and the Mayflower Federation. This top-level innate spirit treasure that they called an artifact did not have many pieces in the Europa and Mayflower Federations.
And a cultivator who holds an artifact and cultivates to reach the existence of the Yuan Infant Stage is basically equivalent to a nuclear weapon in terms of deterrence and destructive power over a city!
But without this artifact, the deterrent power of this infant monk will inevitably be greatly reduced. Just like some small countries have built nuclear weapons in a crude way at home, the yield is insufficient. It is naturally no problem to deter the surrounding small countries. But if you want to use these shoddy things to threaten the Mayflower Federation, or Huaxia, I'm afraid you won't be able to.
I'm afraid that before I can do it, I will be destroyed.
Therefore, as soon as this Thor's hammer is lost, this Mayflower Federation is equivalent to losing a strategic nuclear weapon that can deter one side. It's no wonder if you're not in a hurry!
Even if it was a loss, the two cultivators in the Mayflower Federation, who were second only to Allen in status, one black and one Indian, had to take action. The black man with a huge stature took a step forward and said to the sky: "Mayflower Federation, we must not lose Thor's hammer. If Huaxia is willing to take the initiative to return Thor's hammer, then, I, Babu, am willing to guarantee that I can let Huaxia people pick up a few treasures of Chinese cultural relics in the Metropolitan Museum and bring them back to Huaxia. In exchange for this. Moreover, the Huaxia people can also enter the Mayflower Federation this time and search for heavenly and earthly treasures. ”
"All the expenses should be borne by Mayflower. Huangshi National Park is open to the Taoist friend who took the hammer of Thor in all directions and without dead ends. Let that fellow Daoist find what he wants!"
And the Indian also took a step forward towards Baburu, and said to the sky: "Next to the Huangshi National Park, there is the territory of our Indians, if the Huaxia people can return the hammer of Thor." Then the Chinese are my friends in Montezuma. We will try our best to help the Taoist who needs to enter the Yellow Wet Region to find the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, and find the things he needs. ”
"Moreover, I can also summon the souls of our Indian ancestors, borrow the memories of our ancestors, and look for clues of those rare treasures!"
Such conditions made Yun Lei very moved when he heard it. After all, he wanted to enter the Yellow Wet Region of the Mayflower Federation in order to find traces of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. Rescue Raoya. If there is the help of these people in the Mayflower Federation, especially the Indians who have lived in that land for thousands of years and still have a trace of blood relationship with China, through the ancient legends that have been passed down among the Indian tribes.
It was really possible for him to find some clues about the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.
If he insists on not returning this Thor's hammer, although the benefits to Yunlei are not small. However, it is difficult to enter the Mayflower Federation again to find the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire. Although he and Allen had an agreement before the fight. However, he forcibly took away the Mjolnir of the Eren family. The Allen family, which is deeply rooted in the Mayflower Federation, is strange if he can be spared!
Even if you release cloud thunder and enter the Mayflower Federation, if you want to find the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, it is still a dream. A few days is not enough time for the fight. Therefore, just when Yun Lei secretly sighed and planned to return the Hammer of Thor in exchange for a glimmer of life for Rao Ya, a trace of voice suddenly fell into Yun Lei's ears!12910
