    Chapter 92: Sky-high price treasure

    Lin Jingbao and Luo Shaoqi, led by the housekeeper, came to the hall and met Alice, who had just been separated for several months.

    Her face was a little haggard, but her expression was excited. She was discussing things excitedly with Franco. When she saw the two of them coming in, she stood up and said happily: "Xiaobao, Mr. Luo, long time no see! It's great to see you."  I'm so happy. Thank you so much for taking care of me when I was in Donghai. Father, have you told them what happened?"

    Franco shook his head with a smile, holding the pipe in his hand and smiling: "Alice, I am waiting for your good news to tell them together. It seems that my point of view is correct. Mr. Lin, Mr. Luo, everyone is now  Now that we are all together, we can officially start discussing this matter."

    Having said that, he took out the "Scepter of Power" from the iron box on the table. It was the golden scepter that the two of them had found, and it was still so dazzling.

    "First of all, I am honored to invite you two to come here to help our Catalon family find the lost glory. Everything is centered around this 'Scepter of Power'. So, for more  Okay, so that you can understand the whole story of this matter, please allow me to tell you a story. After this brief story is narrated, I believe you will also be able to be of some help to this mission."

    Fran?ois picked up the black tea on the low table, took a sip, and told the story of that year.

    "At the end of the 18th century, the entire country F was caught in the quagmire of war. The country's economy was in constant turmoil, and smoke and war were everywhere. At that time, the king mispredicted the situation in Europe, and the entire country's economy was in ruins.  Almost collapsed.

    But, the ancestor of our Catalon family, Josh?  Fox?  Catalon has an extraordinary and very wise mind, and he had predicted the situation at that time more than ten years ago.  In order to avoid the coming of war, we are also afraid that under the purge of war, the hard work of dozens of generations will be destroyed in one day.

    Therefore, he ordered people to sell off many of his real estate and real estate properties and replace them with gold and other valuable value-preserving gold and silver instruments.  At the same time, let the loyal servant Hokarson?  Loggins has built a mysterious treasure house somewhere in the country.  In order to have a safe refuge for most of the treasures.  In this way, it can be avoided that during the war, the entire Catalon will decline under such circumstances.

    His idea is very correct and wise, but no one can predict the future direction of things, not even God can interfere.  The Catalan family already had wealth that rivaled that of country F. According to my estimation, if converted into US dollars, they might have a wealth of nearly 200 to 300 billion.  "

    "Hiss"

    Lin Jingbao and Luo Shaoqi both gasped. Although they were mentally prepared and knew that this treasure was very large, no one could have guessed that it would be so big!

    Fran?ois seemed to be trying to keep his words quiet, and continued with a smile: "Of course, this is only our preliminary estimate, and it is only an inference based on the documents and materials left by the family during the war. However, the treasure's  The historical value of the item itself is even greater and cannot be estimated. It can be said that unless my ancestor Josh Fox Carter is resurrected in this world, no matter who it is, there will be no way to get the specific number.

    Having said this, Fran?ois narrowed his eyes, held his pipe in his mouth and looked at the two of them with a smile, his pupils still showing light from time to time.

    When Lin Jingbao and Luo Shaoqi heard the astronomical figure just now, they were both stunned for a while, but they quickly came to their senses.

    Seeing Fran?ois staring at the two of them, Lin Jingbao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "Mr. Fran?ois, there is an old saying in our country that a gentleman's heart is judged by his villain's heart. We brothers  Although it is not difficult for the two of them to claim to be gentlemen, when it comes to money, it is always enough. No matter how much they have, it is just a figure on the deposit. There is no special concept. Of course, they were also shocked by the huge amount just now.  "Mind, if you say you are not moved, you are lying to others and yourself, but there is a difference in severity. We are not poor people, so we don't need to take that kind of risk, don't you think so?"

    "Ha ha!"

    Fran?ois laughed heartily, and after a long time, he said: "It seems that Mr. Lin is quite knowledgeable about human nature. Yes, I just did what you said, and it is precisely because of this that I can clearly see  I can see the true expressions of the two of you. I also like Eastern culture very much, and I have done in-depth research with Alice. I remember that there is a sentence that is very appropriate to describe the scene just now, that is, you cannot do harm to others.  Yes, it¡¯s important to be on guard against others, but I actually don¡¯t have any malicious intentions.¡±

    At this time, Luo Shaoqi couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fran?ois?, please let me also add a word.  We two brothers are not rich, but we have enough food and clothing.  Now, I still have nearly ten million US dollars in savings. If I don't spend it lavishly, I can spend my whole life leisurely just relying on bank interest.  Besides, Xiaobao's money is several times more than mine. Do you think we will take a fancy to those so-called treasures?  "

    When Alice saw this scene, the atmosphere did not seem to be as pleasant as it was at that time. Instead, it was a bit tense and gunpowder, so she hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, my father's original intention was not what you imagined. Please believe it."  Me. Please forgive me if what happened just now gave you any bad thoughts."

    Lin Jingbao also responded calmly: "We all understand these things, so it doesn't matter. Just like Mr. Franco said, you can't have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. We also understand. Oh,  By the way, let us forget this unpleasant incident. Mr. Franco, please continue to explain what will happen next."

    Franco is indeed an old fox who has lived half a hundred years. He didn¡¯t take anything to heart about what happened just now. Instead, he was very satisfied with their performance. Judging from his rich experience in reading people, he can be completely assured of their attitudes.  From this, I let go of the uneasiness in my heart, and then explained to them.

    "Well, the matter has been made clear, so don't take it to heart. Sorry, where did I just say it? Oh, I remembered, it was about the buried treasure. When Josh? Fox? Catalon let Zhong  The servants transported the treasure to the mysterious hiding place, and the war finally broke out. When the two of them finally secretly executed those who transported the treasure, within a few years, something unfortunate happened.

    The war spread very quickly, and the manors at that time were all ignited by the flames of war.  The rebels burned, killed, and looted in the manor, committing all kinds of evil, and the ugly side of human nature was revealed without reservation.  At that time, no one with knowledge of the entire treasure could escape, and they all died in the hands of the rebels. Even Josh?  Fox?  Catalon is no exception.

    On his deathbed, he held his son's hand firmly and said: Everything is in the 'Rod of Power'. He passed away like this, and the treasures of the entire Catalon family became a permanent mystery.  .  But Nottingson at that time?  Catalon is Josh?  Fox?  Catalon's son did not have the ability to preserve the 'Scepter of Power' in that situation.  Finally, a key item related to the fate of the entire Catalon family was lost in the war.

    Since then, every generation of our members of the Catalon family has had a sacred mission, which is to recover the ¡®staff of power¡¯, to recover our lost glory, and to restore the glory of the Catalan family!  For this mission, the Catalon family has spent dozens of generations and countless money and time.  Finally, by me Franco?  Catalon recovers a treasure that has been missing for centuries.  "

    Franco¡¯s face was flushed, and he was obviously overly excited. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he picked up the black tea on the table and drank it slowly.  After a while, when the mood calmed down, he continued: "You all know what happened next, so I won't repeat it again. Alice, please give an explanation of your harvest this time to the two distinguished guests.  So they know."

    Alice nodded to her father, took the documents in the box and said: "I went to consult a lot of older generation archaeologists from country F this time, and everyone has rich archaeological experience. However, they all have little idea about this.  I was at a loss as to the secrets contained in the 'Scepter of Power'. Only an old man in his eighties said that this 'Scepter of Power' was the key to a door somewhere."

    "key?"

    Lin Jingbao and Luo Shaoqi both asked suspiciously.

    "Yes, it's the key. But first of all, we can't even determine the location of the treasure, so how can we open the door? This is why you two are invited to come. Since this matter is of great importance, we can't pretend to be anything.  We are publicly looking for the truth and secret of this scepter, so we can only invite Mr. Lin and Mr. Luo to come to country F. I believe that Mr. Lin will have a way to solve the mystery."

    Alice was full of hope and stared at Lin Jingbao eagerly, praying in her heart.

    Lin Jingbao and Luo Shaoqi looked at each other. Sure enough, they were right. Things were exactly as he expected.

    "Since Miss Alice has so much confidence in me, I would be disrespectful to you. Let's give it a try. Please don't mind whether it succeeds or not."

    After saying that, he took the "Wand of Power" from Alice's hand and played with it carefully. At the same time, he also used his six senses to carefully examine every suspicious place. When he thought of the mechanisms made by the skilled craftsmen in his previous life, he couldn't help but  He frowned, thinking secretly in his heart.

    Franco and Alice both stared at his face nervously, hoping that he would give themGet some good news and discover the secrets.

    After a long while, their hearts felt cold. The greater their hopes, the greater their disappointment.

    but!  Just when they couldn't help but lower their heads, they suddenly heard Lin Jingbao's surprised voice.

    "No! It seems a little weird here!"
