Chapter 366: Robbery of the British Museum
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone again over the port of Portsmouth, the once bustling military port had become a dead and silent white land. The once neat barracks were now in ruins, with scattered flesh and blood in between, clusters of unextinguished fires licking everything around them that could be burned, a breeze blowing, and a scorched smell came from the air.
On the top of the mountain, the tall and majestic forts have become stone pillars at this time, some hills were directly bombarded by naval guns, and some hills with insufficient greening also formed a small range of landslides and changed the terrain and landform. Huge twisted steel pipes are scattered among the rubble, once powerful fortress cannons, but now they are nothing more than a pile of scrap metal lying in the ruins.
At the foot of the mountain, once the world's best dock, home port of the world's most powerful fleet, hundreds of warships, dense forest-like masts are gone, only floating planks and broken flags remain.
"Childe, I have gained a lot this time, and the candy box is full again so soon." Shuang'er looked at the full candy box in his hand and said with some regret and resentment, "It's just that I reached the upper limit so quickly...... Such delicious candy can only be seen but not eaten, and it is really a torture. ”
"In that case, let's find an opportunity to consume my life." Li Mu rubbed Shuang'er's head dotingly, "Anyway, there is still stock, enough for you to eat." ”
"Really, thank you, Childe." Shuang'er's eyes showed a shining light, and Shuang'er suddenly remembered something, "Childe, don't you take these candies to the game space to sell, things that can increase your life must be worth a lot of money." ”
"Well, I don't really have that idea yet." Li Mu shook his head, "Selling a large number of things that can increase life will definitely attract the attention of people with intentions, and it will be a trouble if it is tracked down at that time, and I hardly buy things in the system mall, and those gamers don't have anything in their hands that I need, and the really valuable things are digested internally, so the value of something is really not of much value to me." Anyway, we'll keep the candy for ourselves. ”
"Hmm, you're so nice, childe." Shuang'er held the candy box and smiled happily.
"Now, Childe, where are we going next? Raid other military ports? Shuang'er was in a good mood at this time, and she spread out the chart and asked.
"No, killing is enough," Li Mu shook his head, "Killing is only a means and not a necessary way, remember not to kill for the sake of killing, then you will lose your heart and end up dominated by your own greed." So just do it in moderation. ”
"Moreover, leaving a surviving Britain and Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands fighting each other can also allow them to focus more on internal friction, saving them from having nothing to do with the world to colonize and expand." Li Mu further explained.
"Well, although I don't understand very well, but what Childe says is what he says, Shuang'er just listens to Childe's orders, so what are we going to do next?" Shuang'er asked, tilting her head.
"Well, let's go to London first." Li Mu thought for a moment and then said.
"London? Where to go and what to do? Is there anything good out there? Shuang'er asked with some confusion.
"Well, I heard that the British Museum has recently opened to the public, and I plan to see if there are any good things there, anyway, they are all treasures they have stolen from all over the world, and I will go and see if there are any useful ones, and by the way, return the other things to their original country." Li Mu said lightly.
"If you can talk about robbery so justifiably, only Childe can do it." Shuang'er covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Drive the boat well, if you do this again, you will be punished for a day without snacks." Li Mu leaned on the bow of the boat and said indifferently.
"Hmph, Childe is a bad person, ignore you." Shuang'er lay on the rudder with a loveless look.
"Hahaha......" Li Mu's laughter echoed across the vast Atlantic Ocean.
The Thousand Snows, which was the focus of British attention, naturally could not sail into the Thames so grandly. Since Li Mu didn't want to kill more and didn't want to cause too much trouble, he found a remote beach and included Qianxue in the Captain's Star, and then flew into the air with Shuang'er, and the two of them flew into the city of London under the cover of night.
London during the Age of Discovery is still full of legends of demons and monsters, and although it is no longer as atmospheric as that of Mary I (Bloody Mary), it is still an indispensable topic of conversation after dinner.
Since he didn't feel any powerful existence, Li Mu decided to wave it once, so he flew twice in the direction of the moon, as if a vampire had been passing over the moon, and this incident happened to be seen by several soldiers on night patrol, so they hurriedly reported it. At first, this news was not taken seriously, and it was believed that the soldiers were blinded by sleepiness, but later as more and more news came in, more and more people proved that they had seen this scene, and this news was taken seriously, and it was discussed several times at the imperial meeting, but after all, it was sealed because there were no more clues, and it became a mystery in history.
After wandering around the city of London, Li Mu landed in the British Museum. At this time, the British Museum was still in the early stage of its creation, and its collection of objects was mainly natural animal and plant specimens and various literature and books, many of which were very precious and unique. At this time, the cultural relics of various countries were only a small part of them, and the Rosetta Stone, which is the treasure of the town, will not come here until 50 years later. However, looking at the current form, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.
Of course, the British Museum is not only about these valuable things, it also has many strange things, such as Li Mu saw a branch gnawed by a beaver, a stone in the shape of bread, and a living turtle...... God knows what the caretaker thought of putting these things in the museum.
Li Mu is not interested in these things, and what he needs to pay attention to are those things that can be taken out of the game space. There weren't many of them, about a dozen, and they exuded faint magical fluctuations, all of which were used by witches in the Middle Ages.
These things are all black iron level things, and for Li Mu, the only role of these things is to become value points.
Li Mu walked around the museum, put all the things that could be brought out into his bag, and then picked out some items from other countries that were easier to take and took them away, which were to be returned to other countries in the future voyage around the world. As for what those countries think of these lost things, he doesn't care.
As for those who shouted that this was the wealth of all mankind and should be handed over to those who had the ability to keep it, and what to do if these things were destroyed by the war, Li Muzhen wanted to smack them in the face, and then slap them with a bow left and right.
"That's the wealth left to me by my ancestors, and I can use it as I want, and it's not the turn of outsiders to interfere. Can you take the inheritance I inherited from my own family and take it back for me if I am afraid that I will mess with it? It's just mentally retarded......"
