Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.
Chapter 1200 What is this?
Chapter 1200 What is this?
Han Li never dreamed that among these treasures piled up like a small hill, silver actually accounted for almost half of the amount.
Moreover, the quality of the silver is not very good, which further reduces the expected harvest.
However, Han Li thought that these were all picked up in vain, so he still patiently investigated bit by bit.
The next things Han Li investigated were the more valuable gold bars, gold bricks, gold coins, gold and silver products, diamonds and rough jewelry. Ivory and rhino horns only accounted for a small part.
Most of the remaining things are similar to cultural relics, and these things are very miscellaneous. They probably had no value at the time, and may not be valuable in later generations.
For example: a statue of the high priest made of bronze and crystal, objects with snake heads on both sides, and several stone statues of Sekhmet, the ancient goddess of war and destruction, with lion heads and human bodies.
A painted mummy mask in gilded bronze, a statuette of an Egyptian cat deity made of an unknown black stone inlaid with gemstones, a scarab handle, and a fish-shaped handle inlaid with gold on a turquoise stone.
All of the above are small items. Although the workmanship is okay, Han Li is not optimistic about their value.
However, among these seemingly not very valuable "cultural relics", the largest number are those with a strong Indian style. Perhaps they were the ones who were exploited the most by the British at that time.
For example: bronze statues of Vishnu and Shiva, sculptures of celestial dancers, gold bracelets with two snakes entwined, jeweled snake-shaped scepters, and other objects from several Asan sects.
Of course, there were also objects of other styles that Han Li could not recognize, such as a statue of a human head with blue skin and bulging eyes like balls, a statue of a naked little boy wearing a gourd-like object on his head and a pair of small wings behind his back, and so on.
When Han Li found out about this, he guessed in his heart that the unlucky captain named Elvin Kidd was a person with absolutely no cultural knowledge and was short-sighted.
Otherwise why would he rob these things, and finally someone would go to great lengths to hide them here.
Not to mention those things that have the same style as the mummy, and those objects whose style Han Li cannot tell.
Just talking about the things in India, the English royal family ruled there for nearly two hundred years. There must be all kinds of good things there that the royal family and the queen have seen.
Including the most eye-catching light blue "Mountain of Light" diamond and the pink "Sea of Light" diamond, these rare gems in the world are inlaid in the Queen's crown.
Could the things that Elvin Kidd collected be pleasing to the Queen? Even if he felt that he had accumulated enough things like this and wanted to present them to the Queen, what awaited him might not be a title, but a gallows.
After all, pirates like Elvin Kidd were called "sea dogs" by the English royal family at the time.
It's just like raising a dog. If the dog can bring back prey for its owner, it will naturally get the owner's praise and a bone.
But if the dog brings back poop that it thinks is delicious, then it is hard to say what will happen to it.
If your master is in a good mood, his legs will be broken and you will be sent to prison to do hard labor until you die. If you can offer some money and property to smooth over the relationship with him, you may be given the chance to be sent to Kangaroo Island to fend for yourself.
If the owner happens to be in a bad mood, he will just beat the fish to death. Anyway, the English royal family and the Queen don't lack such a "sea dog" at all, especially a "sea dog" that has no vision and cannot bring any benefits to them.
Before Han Li finished complaining in his heart, his spiritual power discovered a very strange object with a strong Dragon Country characteristic.
This discovery made Han Li no longer bother to explore the remaining things. He put it into the decomposition space with a thought, and took it out without stopping to examine it carefully.
This is a sheep's head made of brass, to which other materials may have been added, or special craftsmanship may have been used.
In short, it was placed in this damp seaside cave, and there were still not many signs of erosion or corrosion on the surface. Han Li took out a soft towel and wiped it gently, and it restored its original appearance.
Han Li took the approximately 50-centimeter-long sheep's head in his hand and examined it carefully. He saw that it was cast very finely and delicately, with the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears vividly defined. Even the hair on the sheep's head was unusually clear.
The more Han Li rubbed the sheep's head in his hands, the deeper and brighter its color became. In the end, it gave him a feeling of deep color, inner brilliance, and full of charm.
The more Han Li played with it, the faster his heart beat, and he kept muttering softly.
"No way, no way, this sheep head can't be the sheep head among the twelve animal heads, right?
It must be, it must be. Apart from the skilled craftsmen in our country, it would have been impossible for other countries at that time to make such precious treasures that are so detailed, clear, and lifelike, and that have remained almost rust-free after so many years.
Later generations? The Sheep Head never appeared in later generations. Either the sea level rose and blocked the entrance to this remote seaside cave, or the sea rushed in and swept it to an unknown seabed, or…”
Han Li held the sheep head and played with it for a long time before carefully tying a long red rope on it. He confirmed it several times before putting it into the decomposition space.
Han Li did not intend to hand over the sheep head immediately, nor did he intend to keep it privately. He needed to seriously consider when to let it appear in the public eye.
Han Li would never agree to something like a certificate or a few hundred dollars. It's not that he cares about the money, but he wants the other person to help him or his family in some way.
The arrival of the sheep head made Han Li examine the remaining items more carefully. Unfortunately, he only found a copper-gilded Qilin among the treasures in the country, let alone a treasure like the sheep head.
After Han Li wiped the bronze Qilin clean carefully, he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
The color and patterns on the surface of this bronze Qilin should be cloisonné, and the workmanship is also very delicate and lifelike. At first glance, it is obviously made by craftsmen from the Dragon Kingdom's palace.
This bronze Qilin stands on all fours, with its mouth open as if roaring, and looks like it is about to jump up.
Although Han Li didn't know the origin of the Bronze Qilin, he had already figured out its function.
The bronze Qilin is an incense burning device. When the spices are lit in the belly, the fragrance spreads outward from the round hole in the mouth.
Han Li played with it in his hand for a while and then put it away, but he decided in his heart that he would use this beautiful cloisonné qilin when reading or burning incense in the future.
After that, Han Li did not find any objects with Dragon Country style and craftsmanship. He secretly cursed Elvin Kidd in his heart, saying that he was a fool who didn't know the value of things and actually threw such a treasure in the back.
However, at this time, he no longer had the desire to feast his eyes or take treasures. Instead, he wanted to be like an ancient rich man, so he waved his hand and took in all the broken boxes and treasures in front of him.
Finally, after a rough count, we found that there was about one and a half tons of average quality silver, and about two hundred kilograms of various gold bars, gold bricks, gold coins, and gold and silver products.
There are more than 300 diamonds and rough gemstones of various colors, 55 ivory tusks of various sizes, 97 rhino horns of varying lengths and thicknesses, as well as a number of statues, sculptures and other "cultural relics" from different countries.

After Han Li put away all his things, he took off his clothes, stretched out for a while, and then swam out.
I returned to the shore, wiped myself clean, put on my clothes, released the RV, lit the stove, and made myself a cup of hot tea. While sipping the hot tea, I thought about what had just happened.
At this time, Han Li slapped his forehead. He was so busy going back to the car to warm up that he forgot about the blue langoustine, which was the biggest contributor to this harvest.
But how to carry it? The sea Tai Sui has not yet been transformed. Do I need to take a large basin, fill it with sea water and carry it with me?
Big basin? Thinking of this, Han Li sank his spiritual power into the vast peach garden and dug a pit about one meter in diameter and only about thirty centimeters deep on the rock at the edge of the foot of the mountain.
Next, Han Li came to the beach, took some sea water to fill the pit, and took some more and put it in the decomposition space for use. Then he grabbed the blue langoustine that was staring blankly at the beach and threw it in.
Han Li returned to the RV and started the car without stopping. He drove onto A99 highway and continued driving south.
What Han Li didn't know was that because he had just dug a pit filled with sea water on the edge of the vast peach garden, this pit or the sea water was like a medicine inducer, triggering the next step of the transformation of Hai Tai Sui, which had not been completed for a long time.
Han Li was now almost multitasking. While driving, he was trying hard to search in his mind for the information about treasures in England that he had seen in his previous life.
Han Li couldn't go to other countries, so he was too lazy to think about it.
However, most of this kind of news is true or false. When Han Li saw this kind of news in his previous life, he would usually just ignore it.
So until it got dark, Han Li didn't find any very useful information in his memory.
However, Han Li did not give up. After parking the car and having dinner, he made himself a cup of tea and took out the maps he had bought from various places and started to look through them.
Han Li wanted to find familiar place names on the map, combining them with those insignificant memories from his previous life to give himself some inspiration and enlightenment.
Han Li didn't have much hope for this seemingly stupid and unreliable method at first. He regarded it as a pastime before going to bed.
But when Han Li's finger slid across the map to a small village called Hoxne in Suffolk, England, some familiar memories immediately emerged in his mind.
This treasure was accidentally discovered by a villager in this village at the end of 1992 while he was renovating his house.
据说有各个时期、各个造币厂的14191枚银币、565枚金币、24枚铜币、79个银汤匙、20多个银烛台、一些银制的小雕像和29件纯金制成的、做工精细的首饰、珠宝,还有250公斤左右的金块。
Some of the coins can be traced back to the period between 394 and 405 AD, which is the ancient Roman period (99 cents coins), a coin with a gold content of %.
That was the time when the largest number of ancient Roman coins was discovered, and it was also the most important cultural relic discovery in Ingolan's history.
Han Li didn't care about what was discovered, nor did he care whether there was any historical excavation in this country.
Han Li's thought after recalling the news was that it would be a waste if he didn't take the ownerless treasure from the foreigners' underground. Even if he took a hundred or a thousand times the treasure, it would still not be as much as the fraction of what they had robbed from his home before.
At this time, Han Li thought of a lot of things that happened in the country before and after. Finally, he thought of his golden finger, and then a very practical idea emerged in his mind.
