I took out the primeval stones from the formation plate and put it away. I wasn't ready to go back immediately. Therefore, I didn't need the formation plate in my hands for the time being.
The next day, William sent someone to invite me.
"Mister Huang, William wants to invite you to his manor as a guest. He has obtained an item that Mister Huang should be interested in. If Mister Huang has a use for it, William is willing to transfer that treasure to Mister Huang. " The person sent by William was very polite to me, but I thought of a saying. One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.
"I'll have to trouble you to thank Duke William. If not, I don't think I have time to go to the Duke's manor. Mister William's guess of my preferences might not be accurate. " I felt that William thought that as long as he took out one or two oracle bone inscriptions or something like a compass, I would be moved. I naturally had to tell William that he was wrong.
William's subordinate clearly didn't think that I would reject William's invitation without asking clearly. He hurriedly said, "Mister Huang, wait."
Seeing that I was about to leave, William's subordinate became anxious. He quickly took out an item from the bag in his subordinate's hands.
"Duke William was prepared to come personally, but something happened at the last minute. Therefore, he asked me to bring something over. Please take a look. After seeing this item, you can decide whether you want to go to Duke William's manor or not. My lord won't force you. My lord said that Mister Huang is an extraordinary person, and any rules won't work on you. "William's subordinate handed over the item.
It seemed to be another compass, but it was different from the one I got from William. However, no matter how stupid I was, I could see that this compass was related to the one in my hands. Moreover, it was possible that there were more than these two compasses. William definitely had more in his hands. Maybe these two compasses were part of a set. If there were more compasses, they would have a greater effect.
William, this foreigner, seemed to understand me well. He knew that as long as I saw this compass, I wouldn't have any thoughts of rejecting it. As for what he said about not being able to come because he had something to do, it was impossible.
"Mister Huang, my lord said that no matter what decision Mister Huang makes, he will give you this precious item as a gift. I'm very sorry for wasting your precious time. "William's subordinate turned around and left. When he saw that I had accepted the gift, he was sure that he would lead me there. However, I really couldn't refuse the things he took out.
"Let's go. Let's go to Duke William's manor, "I said simply. Although I don't know what kind of place these compasses are connected to. But what is certain is that these compasses may bring me a great surprise.
The roads here were not as congested as back in China. The cars sped along the road happily, and they soon arrived at William's manor.
As I got out of the car, William opened his arms to me.
"Dear Huang, I'm very happy to see you again." William was very happy to see me, but I had a feeling that the foreigner was enjoying the success of his scheme.
"You always whet my appetite with things I can't refuse. It doesn't make me happy," I said, pretending to be displeased.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry, dear Huang. I've only just obtained this precious item, "William said apologetically.
"Is this the only one you have?" I frowned. This foreigner's words didn't sound like he was telling the truth.
"This is absolutely true. Before I met Mr. Huang, I didn't know that this thing was valuable. I originally thought that it was just a very ordinary collection. But since Mr. Huang valued it so much, it naturally wouldn't be an ordinary thing. Therefore, after seeing this collection, I directly bid for it. Although I don't have any more of this collection. But I know the approximate origin of this collection. I know the owner of this collection, so after bidding for it, I told him that I was very interested in this collection from the East, "William quickly explained to me. He originally wanted to be on good terms with me, so naturally he didn't want to cause a misunderstanding.
"You know where this thing came from?" I asked.
"Yes. Actually, the one I gave you before was a trophy that the Royal Family obtained from the East. But it was only one of the trophies. When I saw the second one, I knew that there might be more of this collection. I knew that Mr. Huang valued this collection very much, so I specifically inquired about it. In the past, a fleet full of treasures from a Royal Museum in the East encountered a shipwreck on the way and sank into the sea with the treasures on board. But now, a treasure that should have sunk to the bottom of the sea has appeared. This means that the truth isn't as I know it. In fact, someone on the way back home hid the treasures on the ship, "William said.
"Do you think there are more of this kind of art in that ship?" No matter how indifferent I acted to the compass, I couldn't deceive this treacherous foreigner.
"Obviously, Mr. Huang already understood my meaning. Yes, I know that the missing ship should have those treasures. Because I found a list of those treasures in some ancient documents of the Royal Family, including that ship. That included the ship. Although the ship was missing, the list was still there. There are a total of nine treasures that you are interested in. In other words, besides the two in your hands, there should be seven more hidden in some dark corner, "William nodded.
"You told me so much just to let me know that there are more of these treasures?" I faintly smiled and stared at William.
William wasn't anxious at all. "I know who has those treasures, but I don't have the means to touch them. Any careless action will make things difficult for me. However, I know that Mr. Huang isn't an ordinary person. I'm sure you have a good way to get what you want from them. "
"What do you want?" I didn't understand. William didn't seem like Bethune at all.
"According to what I know, there is also a batch of oracle bone inscriptions among those treasures. Moreover, it's the same batch as the one in your hands. If Mr. Huang succeeds, can you give me a copy of those oracle bone inscriptions? "William finally revealed his purpose.
I nodded. "I believe that Duke William should be able to tell me the exact location of this batch of treasures now."
"Guernsey. It's the foundation of St. Val's Church. The captain of the missing ship was a member of the Church of St. Val's Church. He disappeared with that ship, but a few years later, the Church of St. Val's Church suddenly emerged. No one could understand why the Church of St. Val's Church suddenly became so big. But now, looking back, the reason is very clear, "William said.
