Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Chapter 40 New Cards, New Locations



It is indeed a national treasure antique, so this time the Lewis Island chess piece gave Liang En one (SR) card, two (R) cards and three (N) cards, a total of six cards.

After careful inspection, Liang En found that four of the six cards had appeared before, namely one [Detection (R)], two [Detection (N)] and one [Identification (N)]. N)].

After placing these cards in the place prepared before, Liang En began to look at the two new cards he had obtained. Because according to his experience, new cards often give him some unexpected surprises.

And this is exactly the case. The two new cards this time are unexpectedly interesting. Perhaps because the items found this time belong to the ancient Vikings, both cards are related to ancient Viking culture.

[Trade (Robbery) Map (R): The Vikings were the most famous pirates, adventurers and traders in the Western world of that era. Their earliest homeland was in Northern Europe, but later they spread throughout the Mediterranean region.

According to records, they ranged from Greenland in the Americas in the west to the Black Sea coastal grasslands in the Eastern European plains and even Mesopotamia. The northern border reaches directly to the Arctic Circle, while the south has left its footprints mainly in various regions of North Africa.

Skill card (permanent), the user can open this map in the soul at any time. The map records various settlements, robbery locations and information about these locations controlled by the Vikings throughout the Viking Age. 】

"This is really a treasure." Liang En summoned the map in his mind, then opened the map and pointed at London and clicked lightly.

After he clicked, a row of text and a small scroll bar appeared above the red dot. The scroll bar is used to adjust the time on the timeline, and the text above continues to change with the scroll bar.

It's just that the information exposed by those words is not much. Apart from the population of these settlements, simple maps in a hand-drawn style, and the main industries they are engaged in, there is nothing.

But this is enough for Liang En. At least he can find some Viking Age settlements that have never been discovered before from this map, and those places that have not been disturbed often contain precious treasures.

Of course, it is not easy to find a suitable excavation location.

For example, some settlements with simple agriculture or animal husbandry basically have only archaeological value and little economic value. So even if he really wanted to dig these places, he would have to wait until a long time later to do it.

However, there are still some places that cannot be mined even if there is wealth. For example, the Viking map records that London in that era became a very prosperous city after the management of Alfred the Great, but the core area of ​​the city is not the same as today's London. The core areas overlap.

After a curious search, Liang En discovered that the castle on the map that was most likely to contain treasures was today's Tower of London.

Considering that the Queen of England's full crown and scepter is usually kept inside today, the surrounding area is heavily guarded. He felt that as long as he dared to dig there with a shovel, he would probably go to prison and sing like a chrysanthemum for a few years.

After observing the map excitedly for a while, Liang En turned his attention away from the map and began to observe the newly acquired (SR) card. Different from the previous item card, this was a first-class card. The skill card that appears.

[Vikings (SR): Today, everyone may call the Russians a fighting nation, but 1,000 years ago, the Vikings were a real fighting nation, and even berserkers were born among them, beings who risked their lives in battles. .

In addition, they also have their own special language and writing, as well as their own gods and epic stories.

A true Viking not only needs to have a strong body, but also must have wisdom hidden under the muscles. Only then was that era named the Viking Age

Strengthening card (one-time use), effect 1: After using this card, the user will permanently master the poems and stories in "Ida" and "Saga" that were once passed down orally by the Vikings to this day. . And be able to read and write these stories and poems in ancient Viking language and runes.

Effect 2: After using the card, the user can get a chance to strengthen his body and have a body as powerful as an ancient Viking warrior.

Note that obtaining such a body requires adequate nutritional supplements, so for the safety of the user, please make corresponding preparations before using the card. 】

"No wonder this one-time card can be (SR)." Looking at the prompt on this card. Liang En showed a clear expression. Because the effect of this card is equivalent to comprehensively strengthening his body.

Compared with the previous skills or techniques, this kind of physical enhancement is obviously more valuable, because it means that his power has crossed the line between illusion and reality and can gradually affect the real world.

Moreover, the cards this time also refreshed Liang En's understanding of his golden fingers, because this time the cards were revealed the moment he discovered the chess piece, instead of him paying the money and receiving the certificate. Cards that appeared later.

So after considering various situations, Liang En realized that in addition to getting cards after getting items, he also found some important things that had been hidden in history for a long time but had never been discovered, and he could also get cards. without confirming its ownership.

This means that if he excavates something that has never been discovered in this world, such as the ruins of Troy, he will still be able to obtain a large number of valuable cards even if he does not take anything away in accordance with the law.

After reading these two new cards, Liang En quickly fell asleep. Early the next morning, he drove south to the Blair Drummond Wildlife Park and Adventure Park.

Because in the map he obtained, this area was only a dozen kilometers away from the river's mouth. In the Viking Age, it was once a relatively famous small trading center.

According to the map, this trade center was built on the basis of an ancient town.

This area was already inhabited hundreds or even thousands of years before their arrival. During the construction of this trading town, many traces of human life were dug out.

More importantly, the place name reminded him of another treasure. If my memory serves me right, the size of this treasure is not that big. But it can make Liang En earn a lot of cash.

After driving into the park, he did not get out of the car, but drove around where driving was allowed. Soon, he discovered the small hillside in his memory that was located on the dividing line between fields and woods.

After parking the car there, Liang En took out the unused metal detector that he had brought with him all the way and even paid 60 pounds to go to the island.

It's a pity that this place has been a park for a long time, and it was also a famous licensed hunting area in the UK. So after the metal detector rang a few times, all it dug out were bottle caps or shotgun bullet casings.

Although the metal detector in his hand claims to be able to distinguish gold, silver or iron below the ground. But this is not the case in practice.

At least several times in a row, the metal detector showed gold, but all they found were copper coins or shotgun shells.

But as he gradually expanded the scope of his search, Liang En found a large stone that had been buried under the ground for nearly a thousand years. Then, using this stone as a location, we began to search for traces of the trade center back then.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the edge of the large field and found the core facility of this trading center: a circular religious place.

Of course, because of the passage of time. All existence on the ground of this religious site has completely disappeared, but after more than thirty centimeters of surface soil were excavated in selected places, some stones that seemed to be disconnected appeared in the pits.

"Finally found it." Looking at the rough stones, Liang En wiped his sweat and smiled on his face.
