"How do you plan to deal with this treasure?" After calming down from the excitement of discovering the treasure just now, Pierce asked Leonard Ethan. "Let's be clear, don't involve me in this. Given the scale of my family's business, even my old man wouldn't be able to handle it."
Perhaps it was due to the [Detailed Observation (R)] card, Leonard Ethan noticed that Pierce's eyes were filled with envy and happiness, but there was no negative emotions like jealousy.
Because of this discovery, Leonard Ethan felt that he could give Pierce a little more trust.
"What do you suggest? After all, I'm a newbie in this field and there are many things I don't understand."
"Me? I think there are only two options right now." Pierce thought for a few seconds and said, "Either sell this pot directly to a museum, or hide it and wait for the right opportunity."
"Don't you have any connections to sell this pot on your side?" Leonard Ethan asked. Not to mention the second choice, the first one is safe, but the price is really a loss.
In theory, museums will buy cultural relics based on market prices, but the pawnshop's price and the auction price are two different things.
Especially for newcomers like him who don't know many people in the United Kingdom, the other party might cut the price in half, or even worse, cut it from the knee.
"If I get to know those nobles well in a year or two, it might be possible, but not now." Pierce shook his head helplessly.
"The people I know either don't have much money or spill all their secrets after a few beers."
In fact, under normal circumstances, this pot, which might sell for 700,000 to 800,000 pounds, could be sold if they found customers slowly. The problem is that the impression that the Russian tycoon gave was too strong.
It is well known that those rich Russians often have unclean backgrounds. If the news of the pot leaks out while looking for a customer, the biggest problem is not the pot being robbed, but being killed with five bullets.
"I think it's more appropriate to hide this pot for a while." After weighing the pros and cons, Leonard Ethan made a decision.
"After all, no one besides us will think this is a Victoria-era servant's stew pot. So as long as we don't tell anyone, there shouldn't be any danger."
Compared to some large items found by others, such as antique cars or even tanks, hiding this copper pot is much easier.
Especially since this pot has no carving or gold-plating on the exterior. If you don't turn the pot over and intentionally search for it, most people might just think it's a regular pot.
"You're right, and we can make some modifications to this pot," Pierce said, while taking out a small barrel filled with old black wax blocks from the bottom of the cabinet.
"As long as we melt this beeswax and pour it on the bottom of the pot, then adhere a layer of charcoal ash, no one will notice any difference between this pot and others, and it can protect the pot as well."
Soon, the two men finished dealing with the pot and went to rest separately. After lying down on his own bed, Leonard Ethan began to examine the new cards in his mind.
Three black cards were two [Detection (N)] and one [Identification (N)]. It seems that every time valuable discoveries were made, these types of cards were obtained.
After briefly looking at these three previously obtained cards, Leonard Ethan quickly focused his attention on the new silver card that had appeared.
[Kazan Copper Pot (SR): Ancestors, Grandfathers, lineage, fathers - whenever the familiar melody sounds, many people would think of the Green Rome army sweeping across the entire Eastern Mediterranean region, and the New Military Forces are the sharpest edge of this army.
This pot represents the spirit and soul of this powerful army, so this card can also bring some of the powers of this army to the holder.
Item Card - as long as you have this copper pot, you can gain one hour of New Military weapon operation skills every day, and can use Solak's 62nd Group volley attack once a month with no accumulation.]
"I've really hit the jackpot this time!" Looking at the introduction on the card, Leonard Ethan was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed, because the abilities of this item card were indeed too powerful.
Firstly, although it only includes Turkish bow shooting skills and Nail Hammer usage skills, it does not have the New Military Forces' famous Turkish scimitar skills or firearm shooting skills. But it is more practical.
At least, it is difficult to get permission to carry a gun or scimitar on a Vehicle, and it can be very troublesome when encountering Police inspections. But with bows and arrows and a steel pipe or short stick, it's a different story.
Moreover, Leonard Ethan's profession allows him to have sufficient reasons to carry a bow, arrows and a steel pipe on a Vehicle.
More importantly, this ability is not just a memory in the mind but a nearly instinctive combat skill after thousands of exercises.
So, when it's activated, it not only affects the brain but also affects every neuron and muscle of the body; otherwise, it would be impossible to use those skills.
Therefore, every time you use this skill, those skills would not only leave an impression in the mind but also have the body remembering those skills.
So, if you use this kind of skill every day, after a while, Leonard Ethan should be able to master these combat skills.
As for the last bit, there's no need to mention it. This special skill has only one chance per month and cannot be accumulated. But it can save lives in case of real danger.
Although times have changed, and bows and arrows have withdrawn from the stage of history, there is not much difference between thirty arrows and thirty bullets in the range of a pistol.
"Unless there's no other way, this pot must be kept for good." After reading about the skills that this pot brings, Leonard Ethan decided just before sleeping.
In the following days, they began to deal with their gains. Although the clay and tin tableware and kitchen utensils cannot fetch high prices, they can still be exchanged for some money after being cleaned up.
After spending five days cleaning up the pile of things, Leonard Ethan was planning to continue his treasure hunting journey, but an unexpected message changed his plans.
"You say that the butler called you again and offered you another chance at a warehouse auction and a truck rental?"
One day, Leonard Ethan was preparing to go to the Full Cup Bar, where treasure hunters often gather to hear about new opportunities, but he received a call from Pierce before leaving his home.
"On the one hand, that truck is not mine, but the one lent to me for free while they gave me this warehouse auction opportunity, of course, I have to pay for the oil myself on the way." Pierce's voice came through the phone.
"On the other hand, this auction event is at a large warehouse in Leipzig, which used to belong to the East German National Reserve. Most of the warehouses inside have not been opened since the end of the Cold War, so there should be a lot of good things, and it's worth running a long distance."
