Chapter 269: Fellow Practitioners, Temporary Team
Eric's words made Zhu Yu feel a little moved.
Billions of dollars!
It's not hundreds of millions, it's billions!
The treasures that Zhu Yu has found before and after now add up, that's all, right?
Of course, it would be more than enough to sell all those sacrificial items at their current prices.
But can it sell that much?
It's definitely impossible.
After all, scarcity is expensive.
Those people are also well-informed, and in their cognition, they have never known that there is such an energy that can increase people's vitality.
So a few hundred million dollars a piece.
In their minds, there are probably only a few of them in the world.
Who knew how many hundred pieces could be there at once?
Now Zhu Yu can't release them all, it's going to be messy.
What makes Zhu Yu even more excited is that he is now accustomed to the exciting life of treasure hunting, which is a part of his life.
So there are new treasures that exist, how can you not look for them?
To be on the safe side, Zhu Yu still asked:
"And who else is participating?"
If Eric can find himself, he can also find someone else.
It can't be just the two of them.
"And two teammates." Eric heard the possibility in Zhu Yu's tone, and was a little excited:
"These two are treasure hunters, treasure hunters, and their records are also very dazzling.
And they provided extraordinary support for this treasure hunt. ”
Hearing him say this, Zhu Yu was really moved, and then asked one last question:
"When is the treasure hunt?"
"Three days later if you have time." Eric was a little anxious, "The sooner the better!" ”
Zhu Yu immediately shook his head:
"No, I can't. I brought my girlfriend over to play. She took a few days off, and I had to accompany her for the next few days. ”
Eric's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
Billions of dollars in treasure, it's not as good as playing with your girlfriend?
"How many days do you need, then?" Eric asked, he was very optimistic about Zhu Yu. Otherwise, if it were someone else, he would immediately refuse.
Looking for you to find treasure is to give you face, since you don't want it, then others don't have the mood to wait for you!
But Zhu Yu's luck and his magical ability made Eric feel that in fact, if it didn't take long, the wait would be bearable.
"Four days." Zhu Yu thought about it and said, "Three days to play, one day to send people away." ”
"Alright, we'll wait for you." Eric gritted his teeth, just one more day, nothing wrong, right?
】
No hurry to get on this day!
"Okay, I'm participating!" Zhu Yu nodded and agreed, to be able to hold such a big treasure hunt competition, and to see tens of millions of euros of treasure, this Eric has a big plan, Zhu Yu feels that it is necessary to get involved.
You need to sign a confidentiality agreement to enter the team, and you need to wait for Zhu Yu to enter the team four days later.
This is naturally as it should be, and Zhu Yu didn't think it was inappropriate.
Leaving his contact information, Zhu Yu went to leave by car.
Three large boxes and four people filled the large off-road vehicle to the brim.
Back at the guesthouse, it was already dark.
Joanna was a little worried, so she called on the way.
After the car was parked, Zhu Yu asked a few people to go first, and he said that he would find someone to put the box away.
Ran Jie and the others were already accustomed to Zhu Yu's mystery, so they went upstairs first.
Zhu Yu put the three boxes into the space, and then waited for a while before going upstairs.
Joanna was waiting a little anxiously, so she waited in the lobby of the hotel.
Seeing Zhu Yu appear, Joanna pounced, hugged him and kissed him, before asking:
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay, I won the first place." Zhu Yu hugged her upstairs with a smile.
For the next three days, Zhu Yu took Joanna to have a good time in Paris, including nearby cities.
He told Joanna that when he left, he needed to stay here and hunt for treasure.
Zhu Yu didn't tell Joanna that he almost lost this opportunity because of her. Taking some risks or pressure for the sake of a loved one is normal in Zhu Yu's opinion.
And there is no need to ask for credit. This is what you should do.
At the same time in Paris, Heine took David to stay in another hotel.
Heine didn't go out these days, but David went out early and returned late every day, very busy.
"In the past few days, that Zhu Yu first participated in a treasure hunt held by the famous treasure hunter Eric, won the first place, and found the genealogical record of the legendary Golden Rose family."
"Eric?" Heine was not familiar with Eric. He is not in the treasure hunting world, he is only concentrating on finding the treasure left by those people in Wanzi.
"Yes, in the treasure hunting world, he is known as the Mole, and several of the more famous treasures have been unearthed by him. This time, he organized this treasure hunt in the name of the World Treasure Hunters Federation, and it really attracted a lot of people. ”
"I see...... And what about the next three days? Heine nodded, noting down Eric.
"He has been playing with his girlfriend for the next three days, and it is said that the people of the Blue Rose family came to him to get back those genealogies, but they didn't find him."
David has been tracking Zhu Yu's whereabouts in various ways in the past few days, so he is very clear about these.
"Then then, we still have to keep an eye on his whereabouts." Heine, like David, now feels that Zhu Yu is very suspicious.
No one else was found to be suspicious now. Their trail is now broken. So Heine could only stare at Zhu Yu with all his might, hoping to find something.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on him." David was also very suspicious of Zhu Yu, so he gladly accepted this task.
At this time, Zhu Yu was in the hotel, negotiating with a beautiful woman about thirty years old.
Yes, negotiations.
Joanna sat quietly beside Zhu Yu, looking curiously at the aristocratic woman in front of her.
Amandina, the sister of Duwight, the current heir to the title of the Blue Rose family.
"We're sincere." Amandina is thirty years old, about 1.65 meters tall, 50 kilograms, very beautiful, very aristocratic, with a quiet face, more like a teacher than a professional manager.
But she introduced herself as a manager of a financial company.
Zhu Yu guessed that it should be the kind that is in power.
"I didn't feel any sincerity." Zhu Yu shook his head, "One hundred thousand euros just want to take these things away?" I don't think you value the history of your ancestors. Rather than that, let me continue to collect. ”
Zhu Yu's words sounded logical, but the subconscious meaning of these words was heard by Amandina.
He's cursing!
If the things of your ancestors are collected in the hands of others, and it is because the price you pay is not enough, what does it mean?
Show yourself stingy!
I don't even want the history recorded by my ancestors!
This is not the same thing as those things in Huaxia being snatched away in the era of weakness.
"So how much does Mr. Zhu think I have to pay to get back what belongs to our Blue Rose family?"
Armandina is very cultured. Although Zhu Yu's words made her angry, she didn't show it, but asked rhetorically.
"Exchange it for the corresponding cultural relics of China that you think are worthwhile." Zhu Yu said casually, "Of course, it is best to use historical materials, documents, and the like." Those porcelain or something, forget it. ”
It's not that porcelain isn't valuable. Zhu Yu felt that if he could exchange the cultural relics of Huaxia back, it would naturally be the highest priority for those things recorded in writing.
Appreciation and entertainment can prove artistry, but it does not necessarily have the inheritance here in Zhu Yu.
Armandina didn't expect Zhu Yu to choose like this, she was also stunned, and then admired the young man in front of her.
In any case, he was visionary.
Amandina is in charge of a financial company in her family, but she is interested in things like art.
If it weren't for her family, she would probably have been a painter, a teacher, or a writer.
Now these have become her hobbies.
And because of her profession, she also understands the market of some antique cultural relics.
The porcelain and paintings that Zhu Yu didn't need were relatively good, and the auction prices had been relatively high in recent years.
The ancient books he needs that carry words and the like, on the contrary, are unpopular, collectors don't like much, and the auction often can't be priced.
If it's not content that the public is particularly familiar with, it will even be unsold!
But Amandina knew that the most important thing that really carried the inheritance of civilization was these books, stone carvings, scriptures, etc., which are not much valued now.
Therefore, in the face of Zhu Yu's conditions, Armandina rarely did not talk about it again, but said seriously:
"We don't have anything like that in our family museum. But I'll try to collect as much as I can. ”
"That's good. I'm waiting for your news. Zhu Yu nodded, he could hear the sincerity in Amandina's tone.
Leaving her contact details, Amandina leaves.
That night, Zhu Yu and Joanna turned on Crazy Mode again. Maybe in a different place, Joanna's strength increased slightly, but after all, there was a huge difference, so she was defeated in the end.
Seeing off Joanna the next day, Zhu Yu contacted Eric.
Eric sent Zhu Yu an address and asked him to come over.
Ran Jie and the three of them drove Zhu Yu to a villa, he went in alone, and the three of them waited outside.
Entering the villa, in the living room, Zhu Yu saw Eric, as well as a man and a woman.
The man is about 50 years old, with gray hair, but he looks very energetic and powerful. The eyes are full of vicissitudes, and at first glance, it looks like the kind that will coax girls.
The woman is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, very beautiful, but she has a neat and somewhat alternative hair, wears a camouflage uniform, and has no jewelry on her body, which is a bit masculine.
But that face is too pretty, and the front armor is more prominent, so you can tell at a glance that it's a girl.
When Eric saw Zhu Yu come in, he said with a smile:
"Come on, Mr. Zhu Yu, welcome!
Let me introduce you to it. ”
"These two are Mr. van Derick and Ms. Croya. Both of these are very well-known treasure hunters and often partner together in search of treasure, this time our teammates. ”
Van Derick smiled and shook hands with Zhu Yu and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhu Yu, congratulations on winning the first treasure hunt competition!" Seeing you young people so powerful, I can only sigh that time flies so fast! ”
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"Because you didn't participate, I won first place."
Van Derrick didn't expect Zhu Yu to compliment him so much, and he was very happy.
Kroya shook hands with Zhu Yu without smiling, and then asked:
"What are you good at?"
"Good at?" Zhu Yu understood that she should be asking about treasure hunting, and after thinking about it, he said:
"I know a little bit about it."
As soon as she said this, Cloya was a little silly.
What does it mean to know a little bit?
"Well, let's put it this way. I understand fengshui," Zhu Yu felt that what he said was a bit of a mock lake, but the character had to stand, so he explained:
"There are a lot of feng shui in China, and treasure hunting is just one of them. In addition, I also dabbled a little bit in appraisal, valuation, and so on. ”
Of course, the eye of the sky has evolved to the point where it is now, and it is easy to see the age and quality of items.
Then Zhu Yu pointed to the special cup in front of Cloya and said:
"This cup of yours is made of oak core, it must be seventy or eighty years old, right?"
Eric, Van Derrick and Croya were all sitting, all with cups in front of them. But Croya's cup is more special, and Zhu Yu guessed that it should be Croya's own common use.
Luo Fei showed his hand so little, and Croya showed a trace of surprise and curiosity, but he didn't ask any more questions.
There are some things that need to be tested experimentally, and this is not a treasure hunting place, so I can't say one, two, three.
However, obviously, Zhu Yu's small appearance, coupled with Zhu Yu's "record" that they knew before, made it easy for these two people to accept him.
"Okay, now that the non-disclosure agreement has been signed, I need to say something specific." Eric, as the organizer of the treasure hunt, called the three of them to his study, and each handed them a piece of paper to read and talk to themselves.
"What we are looking for this time is a batch of treasures that originally belonged to the Golden Horde."
Golden Horde?
Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, isn't this the khanate established by Temujin's grandson Batu?
He glanced at Van Derrick and Croya and saw that the two were not at all surprised.
Did they already know beforehand?
Eric didn't give him time to think, and continued:
"I once helped a small nobleman in Central Europe to find their family coat of arms when I found a set of parchments. The book contains such a story that was passed down by their ancestors.
At that time, the Golden Horde went all the way west, as far as Poland and Hungary. However, because the Mongol Great Khan died at that time, the troops returned east.
On the way back, they broke through one of the successor states of Kievan Rus', captured their Grand Duke, and demanded that the country pay for the gold to redeem the Grand Duke.
At that time, the finance minister of the duchy was the younger brother of the Grand Duke, and he looted the gold of the whole country to prepare for the return of the Grand Duke. However, the procession carrying the gold disappeared on the way. At that time, the Principality received the news that the Golden Horde had obtained the gold but did not release the Grand Duke, but had killed the Grand Duke.
However, the record of the Golden Horde is that the team that handed over the gold never came, so they killed the Grand Duke and left.
Later, I checked a lot of information and found that the gold never appeared again. And by studying the route they traveled. I guess the gold is still there, but something happened to the team transporting it. ”
Speaking of this, Eric raised his head and glanced at the three of them, and then said seriously:
"According to my estimates, that batch of gold is worth at least two billion euros!"
