Chapter 37
Chapter 37
After packing up all the trophies and handing over to the lawyer, Liang En and Pierce said goodbye temporarily.Because Pierce collected everything he wanted at once this time, he hopes to return to London to complete the deal as soon as possible.
"I'm so sorry, but this business is really important." In a parking lot by the highway, Pierce said to Liang En. "So I have to sell our batch before others."
"So you can only go on a treasure hunt alone, but I promise you, I will try to sell these furniture and found things at a high price as much as possible, and then give you your share."
"Well, it seems that I can only be alone next time." Liang En seemed a little helpless. After all, although the two of them are good friends, they each have their own careers, so they often need to take care of their own affairs .
After embracing each other, they each started their cars and drove in different directions. Pierce would return to London all the way south, while Liang En would continue north.
Liang En's target this time is the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides in northern Scotland, because in his impression, a famous treasure that was not found in this world was unearthed there in his last world.
Of course, one of the important reasons why I thought of getting this treasure for the first time was the association I had after I got the "Harry Potter" book.
What's even better is that after he checked on the Internet before, he found that the destination he was looking for was very suitable for treasure hunting from a policy point of view.
Both the UK and the US have a tradition of regional self-government, so each region has different laws.
For example, according to the treasure law in England, the acquisition fee or reward of treasure should be divided equally between the discoverer and the landowner.But according to Scotland's treasure law, the amount divided between the two parties is determined by the finder.
Of course, according to the rules, the discoverers of treasures in Scotland generally give half of the treasures to the owners of the land, at most a little more.This will make more landowners willing to let treasure hunters into their land.
But now the place Liang En was going to was more interesting. As a private territory, the other party directly opened up his land to all treasure hunters, and allowed treasure hunters to take away all the things found in their own territory.
But correspondingly, every treasure hunter needs to buy a treasure hunting voucher from him when entering his territory. A treasure hunting voucher costs 120 pounds, and if you bring a metal detector, add 60 pounds.
Moreover, this kind of treasure hunt ticket also has a time limit. A treasure hunt ticket can only allow one person to move in the territory for two days. If you want to continue, you can only buy another one.
However, this did not prevent Liang En from taking the Isle of Lewis as his search target, so after more than four hours from Edinburgh, he came to the port in the northwest of the Scottish Highlands: Ullapool.
The town is one of the most isolated in Cromartyshire, but is also an important port to the Outer Hebrides.If you want to drive to Stornoway, the largest city on the Isle of Lewis, this is the place to go.
When he first arrived at the seaside of Ullapool, he was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him.Surrounded by mountains, the blue lake is dotted with countless yachts, surrounded by silence, only clouds drifting low, as if it is a fairyland on earth.
It was already past 5 pm when we arrived in the town, so Liang En directly found a youth hostel to live in.After all, compared to the island, both the accommodation and the prices here are only a little more than half of those on the other side.
After settling in, it looked like there was still some time before it got dark.Liang En simply took his mobile phone and power bank and went for a tour of the town.
Since this is a seaside town, the wind is relatively strong.Therefore, the buildings in the town basically have thick stone walls, narrow windows and double-glazed windows.However, the flowers hanging on the wall and planted in front of and behind the house made the whole town look a lot more alive.
After arriving at the seaside, Liang En discovered that the town was located in a bay.There are many seagulls hovering on the pier. Not only are they not afraid of people, they also swoop down from time to time to grab food from people's hands.
The bay is surrounded by high mountains. Every winter, many people come from all over the UK to climb mountains. This is why there are so many good-grade family hotels in the town. In addition, there is a big beach by the sea. campsite.
After shopping around for a while, Liang En, who felt a little hungry, went to the only big supermarket in the town to buy some cold food to take to the beach for dinner, but unexpectedly saw many colleagues who went to the same place as him tomorrow.
Although there was no difference between them and ordinary tourists from the outside, Liang En, who had been in this business for almost three months, could still smell that smell from them.
There were many people sitting on the benches on the beach, and several people were standing there playing guitar and singing.
When shopping just now, Liang En learned that the annual guitar music festival was held here a few days ago, so these people should be the artists who came here before.
"—I'm going to sing a song now to commemorate Ron who died in the final Hogwarts battle." A voice came from a beach not far away.
"What the hell?" Looking at the guitarist in Gryffindor uniform, Liang En suddenly felt that his mind was stuck, because he subconsciously felt that this was nonsense.
But after he recalled it for a while, he realized that this was a manifestation of the many differences between the two worlds.
For example, the first six Harry Potter books in this world are not much different from what Liang En saw in the last world.But in the seventh part of this world, Ron died in the last battle of Hogwarts.
When Liang En returned to the youth hotel and opened the set of "Harry Potter" he found earlier, he turned to the last chapter of the last book.Sure enough, in this chapter 19 years later, I saw the scene where Harry and his wife Hermione sent their children to school together.At the same time their youngest son was called James Ronald Porter.
"This is indeed another world." After seeing the words "the scar has not hurt for 19 years, everything is peaceful", Liang En sighed softly, then turned off the light and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, he boarded the first barge to Lewis Island in his car, and headed west by north.
Two hours, four and 10 minutes later, Liang En came to Stornoway, the largest city on the Isle of Lewis.This is also a very beautiful small city, but he doesn't have much time to waste here.
So after quickly applying for an excavation permit on the island, paying 180 pounds and receiving a GPS tracker the size of a car key, he drove straight to the beach at the target location.
The roads on the island are very narrow, and in many places there are only one-way lanes. If you want to miss a car, you have to go to a special stop.Fortunately, there were not many vehicles in this place, so he drove more than ten kilometers to his destination smoothly.
When he saw the sea, Liang En also saw the small hill that appeared in a travel magazine before.It's just that it's different from the photos with chess piece sculptures in the magazines. Now this hillside is just an ordinary hillside covered with weeds.
"Okay, it's finally here." After coming to the beach in the light rain, Liang En let out a long sigh of relief looking at the familiar bay. "Then it's time to work."
