Chapter 342: Missing Treasure
I took out the Yuan Stone from the array plate, and then put the array plate away. I'm not ready to go back right away. So for the time being, I don't need this array disk in my hand at all.
The next day William sent someone to invite me again.
"Mr. Huang, William would like to invite you to his manor. He was given an item that Mr. Huang should be interested in. If Mr. Huang is useful, Mr. William is willing to transfer the treasure to Mr. Huang. "The man sent by William was very polite to me, but I remembered a common saying, "Nothing is done to be courteous, and you are either a traitor or a thief.
"Excuse me, thank Duke William, I don't think I have time to go to the Duke's manor. Mr. William's guess about my preferences may not be accurate. "I think William thought that just a collection or two of oracle bones or compass-like ones would make me happy. Naturally, I had to tell William that he was wrong.
William's subordinate obviously didn't expect that I didn't even ask clearly, so he directly refused William's invitation. Hurriedly said, "Mr. Huang, wait." ”
Seeing that I was about to leave, William's men were a little anxious. Hurriedly took out something from the bag in the hand of the attendant on the side.
"Lord William was going to come in person, but something happened at the moment, so he asked me to bring something with me. Please take a look, as for deciding whether to go to Duke William's manor or choose not to go after seeing this thing, the adults will not force you. The adult said, Mr. Huang is an extraordinary person, and any precepts will not work on you. William's subordinate handed over the item.
It looked like another compass, and this one wasn't quite the same as the one I had gotten from William before. But even if I was stupid, I could see that this compass must have some connection with the one in my hand. And, most likely, more than these two compasses. William must have more in his hands. Maybe it's two of a whole set of compasses. The combination of multiple compasses may have a greater effect.
William, a foreign devil, seems to really know me, and knows that as long as I see this compass, it is impossible for me to have the idea of refusing. As for what he said because he couldn't come because of something, it was simply impossible.
"Mr. Huang, my lord said, no matter what decision Mr. Huang makes, he will give you this precious collection as a gift. We are very sorry for the delay in your precious time. William's subordinate turned and left. When he saw that I had received the gift, he was sure to lead me there. But what he brought out really made it impossible for me to refuse.
"Let's go. Go to the estate of Duke William. I said dryly. I don't know exactly what these compasses relate to, though. But one thing is for sure, these compasses may be a huge surprise for me.
The roads here are not as congested as in the country, and the vehicles gallop happily on the roads, and soon reach William's estate.
As I got out of the car, William opened his arms to me.
"Dear Huang, I am very happy to see you again. "William was glad to see me, but I always felt the pleasure of a foreign devil succeeding in his scheme.
"You're always going to whet me with things I can't refuse, and it doesn't make me happy. I said with a feigned displeasure.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry, dear Huang. I've only just acquired this precious piece. William said apologetically.
"You only have this one in your hand?" I frowned, the words of this foreign devil didn't sound like the truth.
"It's absolutely true. Before I knew Mr. Huang, I had no idea that this thing was valuable. I just thought it was just a very ordinary piece of collectibles. But being able to make Mr. Huang attach so much importance to it will naturally not be an ordinary thing. So, when I saw the collection, I photographed it. Although I don't have any more of them. But I know the probable origin of this collection. I knew the owner of the collection, so after photographing it, I showed him that I was very interested in this collection from the East. William hurriedly explained to me. He originally wanted to be good friends with me, so naturally he didn't want to cause me to misunderstand.
"Do you know where this stuff comes from?" I asked.
"yes. In fact, the one I gave you before was the spoils of war that the royal family obtained from the East. But this is only one piece of the loot. When I saw the second piece, I knew there might be more to it. I knew that Mr. Huang valued this collection very much, so I made a special inquiry. One of the convoys loaded with treasures from a royal museum in the East was shipwrecked and sank into the sea with the shipwright. But now there is a treasure that should have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Illustrated, the truth is not as I know. In fact, someone hid a boatload of treasures on the way home. William said.
"How many other pieces of art do you think there are in that ship?" No matter how indifferent I am to the compass, I can't fool this treacherous foreigner.
"Obviously, Mr. Huang already understands what I mean. Yes, I know that the missing ship should have had those treasures. Because I found a list of those treasures in some of the royal family's old sources. Including the ship, although the ship is missing, the list is still there. There are a total of nine pieces in the set of the treasures you are interested in, which means that in addition to the two that have already arrived in your hands, there should be seven more hidden in some dark corner. William nodded.
"You're telling me so much, are you just letting me know there's more to this kind of thing?" I smiled and stared at William.
William wasn't in a hurry at all, "I know who owns these things, but I can't touch them. Any carelessness will make it very difficult for me. However, I know that Mr. Huang is not an ordinary person, and there must be a very good way to get what you want from them. ”
"What do you want?" I don't understand, William doesn't look like Comrade Bethune.
"As far as I know, there is a batch of oracle bones in that batch of treasures, and it is the same batch as the one in your hand. If Mr. Huang succeeds, can you give me those oracle bone rubbings?" William finally stated his purpose.
I nodded, no problem: "I think Lord William should be able to tell me the exact location of this batch of treasures by now." ”
"Guernsey. The foundation of the Saint-Vaal ****** religion. The captain of the missing transport was a member of the ****** Sect. He disappeared with the ship, but within a few years, the ****** Sect suddenly emerged. No one understands why ****** Sect has suddenly become bigger. But looking back now, the reason is clear. William said. (To be continued.) )
