Chapter 24 New Discovery
"Okay, I'm going back to deal with the next thing." After checking the hidden keyhole, Liang En waved goodbye to Pierce.
Because he had just figured out what the key should look like through X-rays, he was now anxious to go back and match the key to open the lock, and then see what secrets were hidden in this thing.
"Well, I wish you all the best!" Pierce said standing at the counter. "By the way, try to turn on your phone these days. Because my father needs to ask for your opinion when selling the things he got from Germany. .”
"Uncle Murphy moves very quickly." After hearing what Pierce said, Liang En took back one foot that had already stepped out of the store, then turned his head and said.
"I thought our batch was relatively unpopular, so it might take some effort to find a buyer."
"Yes, Cold War collection is indeed a very niche area." Pierce nodded. "But my father happened to know a collector in this field, and he was able to help us find a buyer through him in the past two days."
"Sure enough, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure." Liang En didn't think this was just a coincidence. After all, the old Pierce had been working in this industry for more than thirty years, so he naturally had some channels of his own.
"By the way, do you have anything else?" At this moment, Liang En suddenly realized that Pierce seemed to have something to say, so he asked directly.
"I do have something here." Pierce said, taking out a list from under the counter and handing it to Liang En. "This is something that a regular customer in the store wanted, so if you have time during this period, you can help find it."
"Victorian furniture? Okay, I'll keep an eye out for it." Considering that he had more than ten thousand pounds of liquid capital, he felt that it would not be too difficult for him to collect some furniture in this area.
After coming out of the Emerald Thrift Store, Liang En first went to a nearby place that specialized in matching keys and spent ten pounds to ask him to help match a key to open the lock according to the drawing he had drawn before, and then returned to his residence.
The first thing he did when he returned to his residence was Liang En, who took out his cell phone and checked his email.
Unfortunately, just like the previous week, apart from a few bills and advertisements, there was no reply from the Journal of the British Archaeological Society as he expected.
Of course, this is not bad news. Although the other party did not send an email stating that they would adopt that paper, at least they did not send a rejection letter.
As for why there is still no movement in the Journal of the British Archaeological Association after a week, it is actually not difficult to understand.
After all, it is the top archaeological magazine in the UK, so naturally a large number of people submit articles to them every month or even every day, including private archaeological experts like Liang En now.
Therefore, it is already a good idea for the other party to read every manuscript carefully. Therefore, manuscripts written by private experts like Liang En will naturally be ranked lower.
In his opinion, it is already a very good thing to receive the other party's response within half a month. If he is not lucky, he may be scheduled directly to next month.
Many workers here in the UK are not only inefficient, but also charge high fees. For example, getting a key not only costs ten pounds, but also takes five or six hours.
This means that for the next morning, he can only stay here and wait for the key master to send him a text message after completing his work, asking him to retrieve the key.
Out of boredom, Liang En began to study the cards in his mind. Soon he discovered that these cards could actually move in his mind according to his will.
"If this is the case, I can stack identical cards together." This new discovery immediately gave Liang En a bold idea.
After all, although he doesn't have many cards now, it can be expected that there will definitely be no shortage of such things in the future, so it is a good idea to sort out the pile of cards in his mind.
But when he stacked four [Detection (N)] cards together, a line of text suddenly appeared from the stack of cards.
[After consuming one (N) level card, three same (N) level cards can be synthesized into one (R) level card. 】
"This thing feels more and more like a card game." After seeing this line of text prompt, Liang En showed a helpless smile. "Now even the card synthesis has been released."
Considering that cards like [Detection (N)] are easy to obtain, and figuring out this cheat is a very important thing. So Liang En chose to synthesize cards.
Just after he selected the synthesis with his mind, the card at the bottom of the stack immediately turned into a ball of white light and enveloped all the cards above.
After a few seconds, the light dissipated, and the original stack of black cards disappeared, leaving only a bronze card in that position.
[Detection (R): When looking for items, just finding a good thing in a small space is no longer enough to meet the current needs. Fortunately, we now have the ability to find items further away.
Skill card (one-time use), after obtaining an item carrying information, by consuming this card and that item, you can find a certain existence related to that item.
This existence may be a treasure, a treasure or a relic. No one can know what they will find until they find it. 】
"A very random card." After reading what was written on the card, Liang En showed a helpless expression. Because the scope of this relevant existence is really too large.
For example, if he uses this card on the Kazan copper pot, the location he is guided to may be the treasure of the new army, their cemetery or even the military camp in Constantinople.
If it's the former, then consuming such a precious cultural relic can give you the opportunity to make a fortune, and you can still save money no matter what happens. Then the latter two are obvious loss-making businesses.
Therefore, for Liang En, he must carefully consider the items he chooses to use as guides to avoid the situation where he even loses his underwear in a wasted trip.
After thinking about the cultural relics in his hand, Liang En found that the things he had mastered lacked direct direction, and there was a high probability that he would lose money by using this card.
"It seems that this card can only be kept temporarily." After taking a helpless look at [Detection (R)], Liang En could only put the card away helplessly, and then sorted out the other cards. card.
When the time came to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Liang En finally got the key he had ordered before. As soon as he got the key, Liang En opened the rabbit lock.
With a soft click, the entire lock suddenly split into two halves to reveal the internal structure.
In addition to the mechanical structure that should be inside a lock, Liang En also found a brown thing that looked like a cigarette filter inserted between the mechanical parts.
"Things are getting more and more interesting now." Liang En thought as he used tweezers to gently pinch the thing out from between the gear and the connecting rod.
