Chapter 808 You Auction Chinese Antiques, I Also Auction Japanese Antiques

After comforting her for a while, Rie Momotani finally stabilized, Jiang Hao let go of her, "Okay, we'd better get out of here quickly."

Laura helped Momoya Rie stand up, and then hugged Momoya Rie to comfort her. Jiang Hao glanced at the scene again. There were mercenary corpses all over the ground, and the remains of undead warriors all over the ground. Too many people died this time. people.

The three of them walked towards the corridor, and at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the corridor, and the three of them were startled.

"Professor Jones!" Jiang Hao called out in surprise.

Professor Jones looked at the three of them, walked over quickly and hugged them respectively, "I really thank God for seeing you, this expedition is really too dangerous, we have encountered too many dangers."

"Rie, are you okay?" Professor Jones looked at Momoya Rie again.

"Yes, professor, I'm fine. It was Jiang Haojun who saved me." Rie Momotani said with lingering fear.

"Okay, then let's leave quickly." Professor Jones said.

When the three went down the mountain, Jiang Hao asked, "Professor Jones, why are you here?"

"I was caught by Vogel, the mercenary leader, and asked me to help him find the palace and sort out the antiques he found. When I got here, there was a sudden battle, and I was so scared that I hid." Professor Jones said.

The four of them walked for a long time and finally came to the river. They saw several hovercraft parked by the sea. After the four of them boarded the boat, Jiang Hao checked and found that there was a lot of oil on it, which should be enough for them to return to land. Up.

"Now that Queen Himiko has completely disappeared, the witchcraft here should also be lifted, and we can leave." Jiang Hao said.

"What about the survivors who were left on the island?" Rie Momotani asked.

"After we go back, we can contact the Japanese government and tell us what happened here. I believe the Japanese government will send people to handle it properly," Professor Jones said.

sail,

They did not leave Yamatai Island immediately, but went around to the other side of the island. This is where Jiang Hao and Lao ** Island were located. The two landed on the island again. Earl Lawford's travel bag.

Of course, Jiang Hao was the first to come in and put it back secretly.

Laura carried her father's bones on her back, and the two boarded the hovercraft again, and the hovercraft sailed towards the sea. This time they did not encounter a storm, and the ship left Yamatai Island smoothly. After adjusting the direction, the ship drove automatically and headed towards Japan. Heading towards Kagoshima.

"Okay, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, we can go home." Professor Jones said.

More than ten hours later, the hovercraft finally returned to Kagoshima, and the hovercraft docked at the pier. Jiang Hao said, "Professor Jones, please report to the Japanese government about Yamatai. Laura and I are going to take Crowe as soon as possible." Earl Fu's bones go back to be buried."

Professor Jones nodded, and said: "We have left contact information. I will return to the United States in the near future. If you go to the United States, you can find me. If you need any help in archaeology, you can call me."

Jiang Hao nodded with a smile, this time he and the old man have become friends.

When saying goodbye, Momoya Rie hugged Jiang Hao again, with a shy face, bowed and said: "Jiang Hao-jun, if you come to Japan, remember to contact me, I can accompany you to visit Japan."

"Maybe there is a chance." Jiang Hao responded with a smile.

A day later, Jiang Hao and Laura finally got on the plane back to London. The plane soared into the sky, and the mood of the two eased down.

This adventure trip is really dangerous and exciting.

After the plane landed, the car of the Crawford family came to pick up Laura. When the two said goodbye, Laura also hugged Jiang Hao and said, "Jon, thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never It is impossible to find my father, tomorrow I will hold a funeral for my father, I hope you can come to attend."

"Of course, I will go, and Laura, don't be too sad, it has been a long time." Jiang Hao said.

"Yes, I understand." Laura smiled.

The adventure trip that lasted for half a month finally came to a successful conclusion. Jiang Hao returned to his own teacher's dormitory at the University of London. Looking at the sun shining into the window, there was a warm smell in the room. Jiang Hao suddenly felt a sense of happiness. Sometimes people need stimulation, but most of the time peace is the blessing.

OK,

Next, let's take an inventory of his spoils this time, Jiang Hao began to dig out things from the space.

Speaking of which, I have gained a lot this time.

The gold utensils were brought out one by one, including gold plates, gold bowls, gold incense burners, gold pots, and gold lamps. Although these gold utensils were not extremely gorgeous, they were also rare works of art.

At that time, he was in such a hurry that he didn’t even have time to count them. Now that he checked carefully, he found that there were as many as 112 pieces, which were placed on the entire floor. Jiang Hao made an estimate, and only counted the price of gold. It's worth almost tens of millions of dollars.

Pour out the gold coins with Queen Himiko's head and count them one by one. There are 186 coins. I don't know if this number has any meaning.

Han Dynasty bronze mirror with two sides.

The King of Wei rewarded the "Women King" with a gold seal, which is absolutely priceless.

A set of Susanoo's golden armor, including his bones, is right, Jiang Hao even took his bones.

There is also a set of gold hairpin ornaments worn by Queen Himiko, which is very gorgeous and exquisite. Jiang Hao remembered that she had seen this set of gold hairpins in those murals.

Finally, Jiang Hao took out the relic again. Under the sunlight, the relic shone with colorful light, just like the effect of sunlight shining on a cut diamond, and Jiang Hao used his spiritual power to detect the bead. He found that there was a wave of energy in it, and Jiang Hao felt that this energy was very similar to spiritual power. He still doesn't understand this thing, so he plans to keep it for the time being, and talk about it later when he has a deeper understanding.

It's okay to be curious about some things, but don't touch them casually when you are not sure, because the results of rash experiments are mostly bad.

Being bitten by a spider, not everyone can become Spider-Man, more likely to die from poisoning.

These were all the gains of his expedition.

wrong,

Jiang Hao thought about his gold space again. This time he found a lot of gold sand, and the space was expanded by 2.5 cubic meters to 13 cubic meters. This is also a very huge harvest. You must know that dozens of tons of gold are worth a fortune in any era. Great wealth.

Looking at the room full of things, Jiang Hao felt that it was necessary for him to find a place where these treasures could be safely stored. Of course, it would be best if there was a manor. He would definitely hunt for treasures in the future, equipped with firearms and so on. All need to be prepared, and it is very necessary to have a place of your own.

It takes a lot of money to build a place like that, and now Jiang Hao is poor, so he looked at these treasures again, and Jiang Hao decided to auction off a batch.

The Japanese often auction Chinese antiques. This time it’s my turn. I’m going to hold a special auction of the treasures of the Queen of Himiko in Japan. I don’t know how the Japanese will react, whether they will be crazy, hahaha.

the next day,

Jiang Hao put on a decent black suit and came to the Crawford Manor in the suburbs of London. The cemetery is just behind the manor. Jiang Hao found that many people had already come. In the backyard, Jiang Hao saw Laura in black. .

At this time, Laura was receiving comfort from everyone. Jiang Hao walked over and hugged her lightly, "Earl Crawford has returned home, and I can always be with you in the future. I believe this is the result he hopes most. "

Laura said in Jiang Hao's ear: "Thank you for your comfort, Jon."

the funeral begins,

Relatives and friends saw Earl Crawford off. In the procession, Jiang Hao saw a person, a white woman in her 50s. If Jiang Hao read correctly, this woman should be the manager of the Crawford family company. Ms. Anna.

Jiang Hao's mind suddenly flashed all the information about this Ms. Anna,

This Ms. Anna is a member of the Holy Trinity. Anna is the ex-girlfriend of Earl Crawford, and later manages the family assets for Earl Crawford, and is Earl Crawford's right-hand man.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao felt that Earl Crawford was also a very playful person. His ex-girlfriend was an assistant, and she followed him all her life without getting married. Maybe she would use it occasionally. It was really great. relation.

Before Earl Crawford went to Yamatai Island to explore, he entrusted Anna to manage the family property and let her be Laura's temporary guardian.

In the past, Anna was very loving and caring towards the Crawford family and Laura, but later this relationship changed. Anna suffered from an incurable disease, and his younger brother Constantine is a member of the Holy Trinity , took him into the Holy Trinity, treated her with supernatural power, and controlled her disease from developing.

Constantine is a very ambitious guy. He knows that Earl Crawford also joined Holy Trinity before, but later withdrew, but Earl Crawford still has many secrets about supernatural powers, such as Himiko.

Constantine wanted to get these powers, so he threatened his sister with a cure for the disease, making him an undercover agent of the Holy Trinity to monitor Earl Crawford, but Jiang Hao felt that the person who commanded this Ms. Anna might not be the real Holy Trinity. It was his younger brother Konstantin who was at the top of Trinity, and his ambition had always been at work, and this time the Yamatai Island expedition, the Vogel who led the mercenaries to Yamatai, the commander behind it The one is Constantine.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao couldn't help but look at Ms. Anna a few more times.

That Ms. Anna also seemed to notice that Jiang Hao was looking at her, and turned to look at Jiang Hao. The two looked at each other. Anna smiled at Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao smiled back.

This is the first official meeting between the two.

After the funeral was over, everyone left, but Laura left Jiang Hao and showed him around his manor. The two walked in the corridor. The corridor, said with a smile: "You are really big here, won't you get lost?"

Laura laughed too. "I did get lost when I was a kid, but it got better after that."

"What are you going to do next, continue your studies?" Jiang Hao asked.

Laura shook her head, "In a few days, I plan to inherit my father's title and accept the inheritance. I didn't want to face these before, but now my father has returned."

"I'm not going to school anymore. I've thought a lot these days and decided to inherit my father's career and continue to do archaeological expeditions. I found that that's what I like too. But before that, I think I still need to learn a lot , such as fighting, survival in the wild, bows and arrows, firearms, geography, history, nature and other knowledge.”

Having said that, Laura turned her head to look at Jiang Hao, "Jon, I found that you are really amazing, you seem to be able to do everything, how did you do it."

Jiang Hao smiled, "Keep learning and challenging yourself."

Laura was obedient and silent for a while, then nodded, "Jon, if we go on an adventure in the future, can we go together and be a pair of partners, I know that there is still a big gap between me and you, but I will study hard."

Jiang Hao smiled and stretched out a hand.

Laura looked at Jiang Hao's hand and patted it hard. From now on, the two became partners, adventure partners.

When Jiang Hao was about to leave, Laura sent him to the door. When he said goodbye, Jiang Hao said suddenly: "Laura, after you inherit the family assets, I hope you will take a closer look before signing the document."

Laura was taken aback, "Do you have something to tell me?"

"Do you still remember the equipment we saw brought by the mercenaries during our expedition? There were some company logos on those boxes, and I found some clues in those logos about the companies under the Crawford Group. .” After speaking, he waved to Laura and drove away.

Laura was a little puzzled, and stood at the door watching Jiang Hao's car leave, but since this expedition, Laura's trust in Jiang Hao has risen to a very high level, and she kept Jiang Hao's words in her heart.

Half a month later, Laura officially accepted the title of Earl and became the Countess of England and the eleventh Earl of the Crawford family.

After inheriting the title of earl, under the witness of the lawyer, Laura accepted the property inheritance, and after signing, the property was officially transferred to Laura's name.

Anna brought a thick book, which was a list of family assets. Anna smiled and said to Laura, "This is your father's legacy."

Seeing this thick list, Laura was also extremely surprised, "Does the Crawford family have so many companies?"

"Most of them are investments. We are just shareholders. Some of them are under the control of Crawford Group, but there are also professional CEOs in charge of management. Before that, I have been handling the affairs of the head office. Now you take over After these inheritances, if you want to continue to let me manage them, you need to sign a new entrustment agreement." Anna said with a smile.

Laura suddenly heard what Jiang Hao had said to her, and calmly took over the thick list and looked at it carefully.

suddenly,

When she saw the name "Butterner Company" and carefully looked at the logo badge of that company, her heart was moved.

If she remembers correctly, on the equipment boxes brought by the mercenaries on Himiko Island is the logo of the Butner Company.

Laura's thoughts changed. This Butner Company is a subsidiary of the Crawford Group, but the logo of this company appeared in the hands of the mercenaries on Yamatai Island, so she had reason to suspect that the mercenaries who were exploring the evil this time The Matai incident may have something to do with the Crawford Group, and the only one who can command them is Aunt Anna standing behind her.

Laura continued to scroll back, finally read all of them, and closed the file.

At this time, Anna took out a power of attorney from the folder in her hand and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Laura, this is a power of attorney, you need to sign on it before I can continue to manage the company."

Laura looked at the power of attorney, pushed it aside and said with a smile: "Aunt Anna, I know that you have worked very hard helping your father manage the company these years, and you have to do a lot of things alone, so I am going to hire a professional management team to help To manage the company, professional lawyers and economists will also be invited to join the team.”

Anna's face froze, and she looked at Laura in surprise, "Laura, I have managed the company for more than ten years, and I know the company's situation very well. If outsiders take over, I'm afraid they will mess up the company's operations."

Laura still had a sincere smile on her face, "Aunt Anna, I think the management team will manage the company more scientifically, and you really need to take a break."

Anna's eyes became a little dazed. She took back the power of attorney on the table, put it in a folder, and walked slowly out of the hall of the Crawford Manor. Her back was a bit desolate and lonely.

Jiang Hao's life returned to calm, and he appeared in the classroom again on Monday to give a lecture on the occult to a small number of students.

But in Japan, it has been very lively in recent days. Because of one incident, the Yamatai Kingdom of Queen Himiko appeared. The Japanese government sent a ship to the island to conduct an in-depth investigation of Yamatai Island. At this moment, more than a dozen have been sent to investigate A team of nearly 300 people conducted an all-round exploration and excavation of Yamatai Island.

Queen Himiko is a real god in Japan. The highest god of Japanese Shintoism, Amaterasu, was discovered. Her palace caused a sensation throughout Japan.

All the news media in Japan are all about the excavation of the Yamatai site and various reports about Queen Himiko.

The Asahi Shimbun: "The Japanese government officially excavated the ruins of the Yamatai Kingdom. On an island, the ruins of the Yamatai Kingdom and Queen Himiko's palace were found. The scale is extremely large. Although it has gone through more than a thousand years, there are still many preserved. Previously, there were There are many legends about Queen Himiko, and the kingdom of Yamatai has never been discovered, so I don’t know if we can solve some ancient mysteries this time.”

Yomiuri Shimbun: "Yamatai has been rumored for a long time. It was once rumored to be the Sea of ​​Devils. Countless ships and planes crashed and disappeared in that area. No one dared to approach it. Recently, for unknown reasons, that area has become When the sea is calm, any ship can approach."

"Because of this, the government is preparing to carry out large-scale excavation work on Yamatai Island. Now the government has sent warships and coast guards to strictly block that area, and no private ships are allowed to approach."

Japan Mainichi Shimbun: "The government investigation team released the first batch of excavation materials on Yamatai Island. There are more than 100 photos. We can see that there are countless exquisite murals. These strokes have lasted for more than a thousand years. Still well preserved, the woman on the mural is Queen Himiko, our Amaterasu."

"These are photos of the palace complex. The scale has shocked the entire archaeological community. The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Welfare stated that it will invest its utmost efforts in protective excavations."

Tokyo Shimbun reported: "Yesterday, the Prime Minister personally arrived at Yamatai Island, observed the ruins of Yamatai Kingdom, and gave instructions on the excavation operation, saying that Japan's history is recorded here, and it must be strictly protected."

Looking at these constantly fermenting news reports, Jiang Hao smiled, and it seems that the matter of selling antiques can be put on the agenda.

However, Jiang Hao knows that this matter must be very sensitive, and it is very likely to stir up the sensitive nerves of the Japanese. The Japanese government is currently investigating Yamatai Island on a large scale. If the people are gone, if it is auctioned now, the Japanese government is likely to jump out to protest, and even exert pressure in the name of the government.

So Jiang Hao felt that he should find someone to bear this pressure with him.

Jiang Hao picked up his cell phone and dialed out. After a while, the call was connected, and a panting voice came from inside: "Jon, I'm exercising, what can you do with me?"

"Earl Laura Croft, can I invite you to dinner?" Jiang Hao asked.

Laura laughed on the phone, "Dinner? Let me think about it. It seems that I don't have an appointment tonight. I can accept your invitation."

"Well, I'll pick you up at the manor at 5 pm," Jiang Hao said.

"That's it." Hanging up the phone, Laura looked at the time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and she was no longer training, and shouted: "Holly, Holly!"

There was a rush of footsteps, and a butler in a tuxedo stood in front of Laura and said with a smile, "Laura, what do you need?"

"I need your professional advice. I'm going to have dinner with a man in a while. What do you think I should wear?" Laura asked.

Horry blinked: "Man?"

"Yes man."

"Young or old?"

"young."

"Where do you think he will take you to eat, a high-end restaurant or an ordinary place, will you have any activities after the meal, such as watching a movie or something." Horry asked.

Laura thought for a while, "I don't know."

Horry spread his hands, "I understand."

"Then, what are you going to do tonight?" Horry asked cryptically.

Laura rolled her eyes, then bit her lip and said, "Who knows, it's never happened before anyway."

"Is he pursuing you?" Horry asked curiously.

"No, no," said Laura.

"So you want to pursue him?" Huo Li slanted his small eyes, searching.

"Holly!" Laura yelled, staring at her butler.

Horry immediately raised his hand, "I just want to understand what you need, Laura, you are already 21 years old, these are actually normal, aren't they, well, you go take a shower, I will prepare a suit for you today Evening clothes."

Walking into the extremely spacious bathroom, stepping on the marble floor with bare feet, stepping into the warm bath, looking at the rows of bubble baths next to it, and swipe your fingers over it one by one,

"Would he like that scent?"
