Chapter 225: A Photograph

"Your father owes a medicinal herb, and he asked me to go to his place tomorrow to help him find that medicinal herb." Wanli said with a smile.

"Dad, it's true." Hua Jingya pouted.

"He's your father, I'm going to help him, why aren't you happy?" Seeing Hua Jingya's pouting appearance, Wan Li said strangely.

"If it were anything else, I wouldn't be upset. But I don't like the study of drugs. Because, every time he researches drugs, he leaves us aside. Hua Jingya said.

"Hehe, don't be a child. Your dad is also a good thing for the benefit of all mankind. Wanli said with a smile.

"I know, but I'm just not happy. This time, he told you to go, afraid that there will be some time again, and you will not come back. Hua Jingya said unhappily.

"No, it won't." Wanli pretended to say.

It will definitely take some time to find the 'Amber Palace'. Of course, Wanli won't tell Hua Jingya.

"Of course, you can watch." Hua Jingya is very sure of the authenticity. For her father, Hua Jingya is still very clear.

"If it's really like you said, then I'll have to accompany my baby Shiyan more." Wanli said.

However, when Wanli was about to hug his daughter, he suddenly found that the corner of his clothes was pulled by Hua Jingya.

"Now, my family has agreed, when did you want me?" Hua Jingya blushed and said softly in Wanli's ear.

"Are you ready?" Wanli asked.

Hua Jingya didn't speak, just looked at Wan Li and nodded without hesitation.

"If, if you will, then tonight." Wan Li said in Hua Jingya's ear.

Hua Jingya blushed and nodded.

Wan Li smiled at Hua Jingya, walked to Shiyan's side, and went to play with her.

In the evening, Wanli and Hua Jingya are united in the luxurious suites of the hotel. Hua Jingya was the first time, and of course Wanli wanted to be in a place with her that only belonged to the two of them.

"Wanli, we're going to be together forever, okay?" Hua Jingya lay in Wanli's arms and said.

"Of course, we will live happily and happily together forever." Wanli Road.

"Husband, I still want it." After listening to Wan Li's words, Hua Jingya suddenly became excited.

And Hua Jingya's request, of course, Wanli has to meet her.

Suddenly, the flames of war ignited again.

The next day, after Wanli and Hua Jingya separated, they flew to Jinwei.

Although Hua Jingya was reluctant, she also knew that Wanli was here to help her father. Therefore, I could only hold back my reluctance and temporarily separated from Wanli.

After Wan Li got off the plane in Jinwei, Hua Guoqiang was already waiting for him outside the airport.

"Wanli, do you know the 'Amber Palace'?" Coming to Hua Guoqiang's office, Hua Guoqiang asked Wanli.

"You know, one of the Eight Wonders of the World." Wanli nodded.

"Do you know who the 'Amber Palace' originally belonged to?" Hua Guoqiang continued to ask.

"I don't know, I don't know anything other than that it's one of the Eight Wonders of the World." Wanli Road.

"Then I'll popularize it for you first." The Amber Palace was originally a treasure of the Germans. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Kingdom of Prussia was economically developed and the country prospered. Friedrich, who had only chosen the title of Marquis, felt that he should be on an equal footing with the kings of the rest of Europe and emulate the luxurious life of King Louis XIV of France. ”

So in 1701 he was crowned the first king of Prussia. The Amber Palace was built in the Berlin Royal Palace to celebrate the accession of Friedrich I to the title of King. From 1701 to 1711, it took craftsmen from all over the world more than 10 years to complete this magnificent and vast project. Covering an area of about 55 square metres, the 'Amber Palace' has 12 parapet panels and 12 bases, all made of amber, which was 12 times more expensive than gold at the time, and is also decorated with diamonds, precious stones, gold and silver leaf, which together number 100,000 pieces and weigh more than 6 tons. ”

"In the 17th century, when the European continent was in constant war, Prussia and Russia decided to form an alliance against foreign invasion. Wilhelm I and Friedrich I had completely different personalities and hobbies from their fathers, and he did not like the opulent buildings. So he took the 'Amber Palace' as a gift and gave it to Peter the Great without hesitation. ”

"In 1941, Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. They dismantled the "Amber Palace" and transported it back to Königsberg, Germany, filled with 27 boxes, where the "Amber Palace" finally stopped. Since then, the "Amber Palace" has disappeared and disappeared. ”

Since then, there have been many legends about the Amber Palace, some saying that it was destroyed in World War II. Some say that the 'Amber Palace' is buried in a forest in the town of Bad Schlema, near the city of Zwickau in the eastern German state of Saxony. Some say that the 27 boxes containing the Amber Palace were sunk by Nazi Germany at the end of World War II to the bottom of Lake Toplitz in central Austria. Some say that the 'Amber Palace' is buried in a basement. Some say that in a 20-meter-long crater in the small Czech city of Deteschenudov. ”

"If you had to choose, where would you choose?" Hua Guoqiang said.

It seems that Hua Guoqiang has also done a lot of homework for this amber palace.

"I chose the bottom of Lake Toplitz. Because, only by feeling the bottom of the lake, it is possible to quietly take it out again. Wan Li thought for a moment.

"Yes, well analyzed. However, analysis is only analysis, and evidence must be required. As he spoke, Hua Guoqiang knocked a few times on his computer, then turned the computer screen and said. Look"

Wanli saw a picture on the screen of an elderly foreigner with a thick beard at the back of his hairline, standing by a lake with an amber in his hand.

"He must be next to the Lake Toplitz you just mentioned. However, even if this is the case, it is not proof. Anyone can take a picture of an amber on the shore of Lake Toplitz and say that their amber is from the Amber Palace. Wanli looked at the photo and said.

"Of course, you talk a lot. But you see it a little more clearly. As he spoke, Hua Guoqiang enlarged the photo.

Soon, the picture was big enough to see what's inside the amber.

Wanli saw a beetle with blue stars in the amber, but Wanli had never seen this kind of beetle.

"See? The beetle's name was the 'Blue Star Beetle', and it became extinct thousands of years ago. It is said that there is amber of this beetle in the Amber Palace. So, I'm sure that this amber should have been the one that the man got from the lake. It's just that I don't know how he got it. However, he was very wrong to put this photo online. Because, the wealth in the Amber Palace has always been the prying eye of many treasure hunters. He sent the photo like this, and I believe that he will be targeted immediately. However, the photo was released two days ago. So, if you rush over now, you'll still know from this person's mouth where the amber came from. If it's late, I'm afraid this person won't be a scumbag. Hua Guoqiang said.

"Uncle, you don't want me to go to this person, do you? It's so big, and this person doesn't have to be Austrian, where do you want me to find this person? Wan Li looked at Hua Guoqiang speechlessly.

"Don't worry, I'll narrow it down for you. I don't know, have you noticed that behind him, there is a fishing rod. If you're not a local, who would be so bored to go fishing in this place? So, this person must be someone near Lake Toplitz. Alright, go ahead, I'm sure you'll bring back the compass grass seeds. Saying that, Hua Guoqiang made a gesture of cheering for Wanli.

Seeing Hua Guoqiang actually make such a cute posture, Wan Li was suddenly petrified.

Finally, with the encouragement of the cute Hua Guoqiang. Thousands of miles and get on a plane to Austria.

Shaped like a violin, Austria is located in the middle of Europe, with 70% of the country's land area covered by mountains and famous for its beautiful Danube River and forests. The wonderful arrangement of the Alps makes up Austria's natural beauty.

It has been said that romance is the soul of Austrians, and it is the innate nature of Austrians to be careless. They are the complete opposite of their neighbors, the Germans, whose gaze is sharp, cold, condensed, focused, like a small piece of broken glass. This may be an expression of their national character of being rigorous, demanding, meticulous, and good at logical thinking. And this small sound of broken glass, when it came into the deep, soft eye sockets of the Austrian, melted instantly. Like a small spoonful of water scooped up from the Danube, crystal clear and gentle, calm and casual.

In this small mountainous country full of poetry, it seems that there is a loose atmosphere everywhere. The undulating green hills, the red-and-white small buildings, the old cows with their bells, all look like sleeping men, lazy and free.

On the plane, Wanli spent 500 points from the system to exchange for German and learn German. In this way, there will be no misunderstandings in Austria due to language barriers.

Eight or nine hours later, at Vienna Airport, Wanli got off the plane.

After getting off the plane, Wan Li first went to rest in the suite of the Sach Hotel in the hotel that had been booked a long time ago.

After a night's rest in the hotel, the next day, Wanli set off towards Lake Toplitz. Lake Toplitz is located 60 kilometres southeast of Salzburg near Bad Ausse, a mountainous area with rocky rocks and dense pine forests.

Lake Toplitz is a small reservoir in the area, originally a salt mine about 2,000 meters long and less than 400 meters wide, but very deep, up to 103 meters deep. The treacherous mountain trails and more than 50 years of terrifying rumors about it daunt many travelers, even if they just want to take a curious look.

It took three hours to get from Vienna to Bad Ausse.

Walking on the streets of the town, Wanli saw some shops outside the street, with all kinds of fences and all kinds of flower ponds to circle half of the side road, set up a few small tables, or wine or tea, some people drink alone, and some friends gather. Depending on their casual appearance, perhaps a glass of wine or a cup of cappuccino will allow them to spend half a day.

In Austria, there are nearly 100 legal public holidays in a year, and there are many religious holidays. Someone has calculated that Austrians spend half their days on vacation. Moreover, in Austria the store is closed on weekends. This is because shop assistants and their trade union organizations oppose the opening of shops on weekends, believing that they are violating their human rights by affecting their reunification with their families.

The Austrian parliament also held a special debate on this issue, but the result was that it was not decided, and in the end it was not resolved.

Despite the glorious history of the Austrian Empire in the history of former Europe, the ambition of our ancestors to annex the world has long since become a sense of history. With the exception of a few politicians, the majority of ordinary Austrians are deeply fascinated by the culture of yesteryear, the godsends, the wine and the waltz. They're enjoying life to the fullest, they're enjoying everything. That's why they seem so chic, casual, casual and free.

Wanli walked out into the street, and as an Asian, Wanli still attracted the attention of the locals. After all, it's very unusual for a town to have an Asian.

"Hey, buddy, would you like to have a drink?" A man with a thick beard said to Wanli.

"No need." Wan Li said in German.

"You speak German so well? Come, come and have a drink, I'm in for a treat, friend from the East. The man said enthusiastically.

Probably because, Austrians are naturally hospitable. In addition, Wanli is another face from the East. Naturally, the Austrian was very welcoming.

Originally, Wanli was ready to refuse again. However, after seeing a man coming out of the store, Wanli changed his mind.

"Oh well. However, it's up to me to treat you. Wanli walked over to the Austrian and said.

What made Wanli change his mind was the man who came out of the store. Because, this man is the man holding amber that Hua Guoqiang let him see.

Coincidentally, this man happened to be a companion with the man who called Wanli to have a drink.

"Friend of the East, what country are you from, from the Celestial Empire?" The man asked curiously, looking at Wanli.

"Yes, you have a good eye, I am indeed from the Celestial Empire. By the way, are you locals? Wan Li asked.

"Yes, my name is Will, his name is Bauer, and we are brothers. You are a mysterious Celestial Empire, do you know kung fu? What is your name? I like to eat the food of your Celestial Empire. Hot. "At the end, Will said the word 'spicy' in Chinese.

Will may be the first time to contact the Celestial Empire, and he is a little excited, basically thinking of what to say.
