"A hot potato has finally been disposed of." After Princess Eleni left the room and walked away, Ao Lei, who had been recording in the back half of the office separated by a screen, walked out and said.

The reason why she said this is because many of the Eastern Romans in exile were indeed talents needed for territorial development, so how to retain talents became a necessary thing.

But after this period of observation, Ao Lei realized that the core of this group of Romans was Princess Eleni. They will be where the princess is, and they will leave when the princess leaves.

This is not to say that the princess has any ability to make her followers so loyal, it is purely because this long journey has caused the less loyal followers to leave, and the rest is naturally the most loyal.

Therefore, stabilizing this princess is the most important thing, and through previous observations, they have found that it is not so easy to keep this princess.

She is not short of money and strength, so there is naturally a demand for a sense of need, but the problem is that many of the positions she can do on the island are not suitable for her.

Fortunately, after Liang En's return, he used the vision of modern people to open up a new direction, so that the princess found a job that could reflect her own sense of existence, and solved the thorny problem before.

"It's still a bit rude to say that." Liang En shook his head at Ao Lei, then took out the boxes he had just put away and opened them. "After all, the other party also knows about these things, so he also sent compensation."

"Yes, I was rude just now." Ao Lei nodded, in her opinion, although the princess was a little troublesome, her attitude was still very correct, and the comment just now was really a bit mean.

After all, gods are not omnipotent, let alone people, it is very good to be able to do it to this extent as the other party, and there is no need to be too demanding.

After finishing their discussion, they examined the gifts from each other behind the screen, and as the first lid was opened, various treasures appeared in front of Liang En's eyes.

"A bronze axe, a handle made of ivory and a blade made of bronze, a figurine made of ebony and ivory, a fan handle made of gold, a chalcedony sculpture, and some jewels — but not the usual gold and silver."

After counting the first box, Ao Lei looked a little uneasy, because the contents of the box may be valuable from an archaeological point of view, but they are really not worth much from a point of view of wealth.

That's right, the things inside are indeed beautifully made, and Liang En also found the names of many famous pharaohs who have left their names in history, but the texture is difficult to describe.

At least with a simple touch of spiritual power, Liang En could be sure that there were absolutely no extraordinary items in several boxes, whether it was a finished product or a raw material.

What's worse is that not only that, but he also has no valuable things, such as gold jewelry, which is not even 1/3 of the number of all items, and basically those are beautifully made. But the materials used in each piece are very economical.

At the same time, the purity of both gold and silver products in the chest is obviously not high enough, and the only good news is that the purity of metal products has increased over time, which means that those left behind are often more old.

The same goes for gemstones, there are only a few semi-precious stones of average texture, and they have obviously depreciated a lot due to age and wear, so bad that they can be sold.

"That's a bit excessive." After perceiving all the boxes, Ao Lei subconsciously complained. "It looks like it's taking everything of value away."

"Indeed, this is clearly screened. But I guess it's not her who is sucking away something valuable. Liang En said after taking a serious look at the box.

"I guess the vampire princess hadn't been born when this box was opened last time, just look at the dust that has accumulated around those things inside and on the box."

As a professional archaeologist, the combination of his extraordinary perception and expertise allows him to uncover many places that would otherwise be unnoticed.

For example, he can now tell from the details in the box that it was last opened more than 30 years ago, and that there should be only about half of what is left.

"I think this princess was most likely cheated by her own elders, and someone had already sorted out these things and taken away the valuable part of them before her."

Liang En shrugged his shoulders, and at the same time guessed what was going on.

Although now the Eastern Roman Empire still exists. But it is only an empty title of the empire, not only is the territory now gone, but the country's finances are also on the verge of collapse.

So for the Empire, they are trying to raise money by almost every means. For example, sell all kinds of goods that represent the glory of the country and exchange them for money.

According to historical records, when Constantine 11, the last emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, ascended the throne, the gold crown had been turned into a gilded crown, and the gems on it had been sold and turned into stained glass.

Therefore, it was already beyond Liang En to have six chests of treasure in this embarrassment, and in his opinion, if it were not for the importance of this marriage, which led the Romans to gather the last treasures as a dowry, he might not have seen these treasures from ancient times at all.

"It seems that this princess is really unlucky." Ao Lei shook her head helplessly, and then continued to check the other treasures, and soon she found something interesting.

"Hey, Liang Gongzi, I see that there seem to be a few characters on these things repeatedly, what does this mean?" When she saw the fourth box, Ao Lei suddenly pointed to the text on the handle of a golden dagger in her hand and asked.

"Heriopolis, Ra God Protection." Glancing at the text, Liang En quickly translated what the word was about.

"In other words, these things were supposed to be placed in Heriopolis, which is some of the temple of the sun god in the city of Cairo today."

This line of text also made Liang En understand why these chests could span so much - because the temple often preserves many historical relics, even for thousands of years.

"Hey, I found a big thing." Ao Lei snorted as he flipped through the fifth box, and then took out an almost 1:1 marble sculpture from inside.

It is a very fine sculpture carved with a bust of a noble woman. Since the statue is in a realistic style, it is easy to see that this is a person of European or even southern European descent.

"I don't know why such a large statue is stuffed into a box, how much less jewelry does it contain—"

"I think it's probably because this sculpture is more important." Liang En carefully placed the sculpture on the table, then examined it, and soon found a line of text at the back of the sculpture's neck.

"Wang Mingquan?" Look at the circle on the periphery of this text, Liang En got it, after all, there are not many female pharaohs in history, and there are even fewer Greeks, so after seeing this, he probably guessed the identity of the other party.

"Sure enough, Cleopatra VII." After reading the text, Liang En understood who the owner behind the sculpture was. "Hello, Cleopatra."
