Chapter 66

    Since Columbus, the famous explorer, made four expeditions to search for treasure in America since 1492, treasure hunting has become a fashion. The discovery of the Titanic wreck, the priceless jewels and gold and silver like hot wind, set off an unprecedented treasure hunt in the world.


    No matter at home or abroad, as long as any treasure puppet appears, it will cause countless happiness, anger and sadness of treasure seekers.


    In recent years, Britain has set off a wave of treasure hunting, attracting many domestic and foreign treasure seekers to join. Some American tourists have even traveled far and wide to sign up for a treasure hunt for thousands of pounds in search of Roman coins and other ancient treasures.


    Most people are attracted by Britain''s long history, keen to find Roman, medieval and Bronze Age artifacts...


    Different from all the countries that turn it in, many countries have given the discoverers the right to claim compensation for the remains, buried objects and hidden objects by law, and made it clear that the bonus should account for the proportion of the total value.


    Most western countries generally stipulate that what is found in one''s own land or personal property shall be owned by itself. If a hidden object is found in another''s land or chattel, the discoverer and the owner shall take half of it.


    For family treasures, this is mainly due to an ancient custom in Western civilization. Before major events or important buildings are laid, some objects, such as grains, newspapers and coins, are buried to send certain information to the uncertain future. Later, the concept of buried objects was expanded, and the objects representing human knowledge and achievements would also be buried underground and left to be opened thousands of years later. Today''s time capsule originated here.


    Time capsule can be said to be a mail package given to the future by yourself. The delivery time is the time specified by yourself. It can only be opened after the specified time is up, and some will designate someone to open it. Time capsules can be about yourself, friends, loved ones, family, or anyone else you want to say.


    "The treasures in the world are not necessarily made of gold and silver. Most people''s" treasure hunting games "often don''t know what they are looking for


    Arthur looked at the simple and even ridiculous treasure map in his hand, shaking his head and sighing.


    "In fact, what attracts people is the puzzle itself. The fun and sense of achievement in solving the puzzle are the pursuit goals of treasure hunters." Paul, the Housekeeper on the side, said with a smile. His eyes suddenly became a little sad, as if he was missing something. He continued: "I still remember the scene when I was glad to find a thread with your father. That kind of mood to solve the mystery in the long river of history and find the answer is really unforgettable. Although, we did not find anything valuable in the end Treasure. "


    "Ha ha, you didn''t use metal detectors, these professional treasure hunting tools?" Arthur picked up a notebook again, rummaged through the treasure map inside, looked at Paul with a smile and asked.


    Steward Paul shook his head slightly. "When there is no harvest for many times in a row, it''s a waste of time to continue. After all, the treasure hunt game is just a game. It''s better to create wealth down-to-earth than to rely on those extravagant hopes that may not exist."


    "I won''t give up if I don''t try!"


    "Ha ha, the world is really magical. Your father said the same thing in those years. I can only say that I wish you a happy treasure hunt and enjoy the process." Steward Paul looked at Arthur kindly. He seemed to see the old count when he was young. He didn''t stop him from fighting against Arthur''s interest in finding treasure. Although he knew that it was just a waste of time, it could deepen the young count''s feelings for Boleyn manor and his sense of belonging to his family. In Paul''s opinion, it was good for him.


    "Yes, first of all, I want to buy a set of professional treasure hunting tools. Then, I need the latitude and longitude of the manor Arthur was looking forward to his treasure hunt. He thought that since other people could find treasure from some country manors, the Bolin manor, which has been passed on for hundreds of years, will naturally have hope.


    "Longitude and latitude?" Steward Paul is a little stunned first, and then some doubt looking at Arthur.


    "Yes." Arthur grinned confidently, raised a note in his hand and said, "if you follow these pictures of treasure, I''m afraid you can only turn over the whole manor. However, it''s the age of Technology


    With that, Arthur pointed to the sky and continued to smile: "there are satellites in the sky. As long as you input them on a song map according to longitude and latitude, satellite map will appear. The aerial top view map of Bolin manor can be seen at a glance. By comparing these" treasure maps ", you can roughly delineate an area, so that you don''t have to go around like a headless fly!"


    Steward Paul looked at the young count''s confident smile with astonishment. It was beyond his expectation, beyond his common sense of thinking, but it was really simple and convenient...


    "Hehe, it seems that I really can''t keep up with the times


    Looking at the steward Paul''s bitter smile, listening to his emotion, Arthur said with a smile: "you just lost interest in the treasure hunt, did not think about it."


    To the young count''s consolation, the Butler, Paul, was just smiling, his eyes shining brightly, and he said, "Lord, maybe you can really find something.""Oh, hope!"


    Arthur also laughed happily.


    After tea, Arthur sat in front of the computer, found the satellite map of Bolin manor, saved it and printed it down. Lying on his desk, he began to focus on comparing the overlooking map of Bolin manor with those simple treasure maps, hoping to find out the area where these treasure maps are located.


    If the housekeeper Paul didn''t appear again to remind us that dinner time was coming, Arthur would still focus on comparing maps. It has to be said that focusing on one thing would make time really fast. However, concentration also makes people happy and there is no time to worry about.


    The countess Thomas said that the most beautiful picture left by the Earl of Thomas in the village of Dunford before her death was that she did not have a lot of beautiful pictures left by her ancestors The decorations are missing.


    This is also the main reason why Arthur wanted to play the "treasure hunt game". For hundreds of years, the manor has staged scenes of gratitude and resentment, like TV series. Maybe in a corner, there are some treasures left.


    Of course, Arthur didn''t expect to find any treasure at once. It was too dramatic. The treasure hunt game seemed to him a long game. It was useless to be anxious.


    So after dinner, after a little rest and relaxation, and after the phone call with Emilia, who was off the night shift, she went back to her bedroom, soaked in Italian salt bath, and went to bed.


    He had a good night''s dream. The next morning, after breakfast, Arthur asked Paul, the housekeeper, to drive him back to downtown Southampton. Arthur never liked to be sloppy, so he did what he thought. Moreover, his schedule in Southampton was full.
