Chapter 430

This is a very shabby box. In terms of the box alone, it has no value. It is a product chiseled by an ordinary craftsman.

Jiang Le carefully opened the box and immediately saw several items contained in the box:

A yellow and angular black-and-white photo. Although the photo has become very blurred due to age, it can still be seen that the man in the photo is an aristocratic man. I don't know what relationship he has with count Bilson.

A rolled up sheepskin map looks amazing. Even if Jiang Le is not a professional connoisseur, he can feel the antiquity of the sheepskin map.

A brass telescopic telescope, a black envelope.

This is all the things in the box.

Instead of checking, Jiang Le looked at count Bilson and asked, "count, don't let me guess riddles. Just tell me what your commission is."

"This box contains all the items of my great grandfather. He was an aristocrat in Great Britain in the 16th century, a leader of the British bourgeoisie, and controlled 70% of the ocean company." Bilson's expression showed a trace of nostalgia.

His great grandfather hung like this. In his generation, he could only be an ordinary count, which could only be regarded as a decline in his family.

"Before 395 ad, the southeast of the island of Great Britain was always ruled by the Roman Empire. As you should know, the most powerful European empire in history, the Mediterranean is its back garden, spanning three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. In its heyday, it controlled nearly 5 million square kilometers of land, and is the indiscriminate overlord of Europe,

However, when the empire finally collapsed, the Roman Empire was later divided into Western Rome and Eastern Rome. The two countries each held half of the land, but the territory of the Empire continued to shrink. Finally, the Western Rome was invaded by the Germanic people, and the Germanic kingdoms were established at the same time of its demise. After the demise of the Western Rome, the eastern Rome became the only successor of the Roman Empire,

In 1453, Constantinople, the capital of Eastern Rome, was captured by Muhammad II, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. In 1460, the territory of Eastern Rome in Moria was occupied by the Ottoman Empire. In 1461, the Ottoman empire made another move. So far, the Eastern Roman Empire has withdrawn from the historical stage forever. Now the land has been disintegrated into Austria, Rhine Confederation and other countries. "

Jiang Le listened carefully to Bilson. As an earl, he could not ask the housekeeper to invite an outsider to popularize historical knowledge. His entrustment must be hidden in these many words, and each sentence is a clue.

"My great great grandfather, he is not an Englishman born and raised in Great Britain, but a man who migrated from Rome. His ancestors were the elders of the Western Roman Empire."

Hearing this, Jiang Le was shocked. During the Roman Empire, there were two famous forces, the Senate and the Roman people's assembly. The Senate was the political power organ of ancient Rome, composed of aristocratic elders of the clan, also known as the Council of elders, which had the right to assist the emperor in managing the whole country.

Count Bilson's ancestors were really wonderful to be a member of the Senate. Both his power and identity were terrible.

"My great grandfather's ancestors witnessed that the Western Roman Empire was invaded into Italy by the 'barbarian' Germans, besieged the Roman city, opened the city gate with the cooperation of the slaves in the city, plundered the wealth of the whole city, and established a Gothic Kingdom on the land of the Western Roman Empire. Those barbarians collected all the treasures of the former Western Roman Empire, When the Gothic Kingdom perished, he took all those treasures away and sailed into the Atlantic Ocean in a boat. He spent his whole life on going to sea to find the whereabouts of those treasures, but he didn't get much harvest. The task of finding these treasures was handed down by our family from generation to generation until my generation. "

Bilson looked at the box in Jiang Le's hand and couldn't help but show a trace of memory: "I once invited many explorers to help me complete this thing, but the final result is the same. No one can find the location of those treasures for me. It's also for this reason that Chris invited you here today, Mr. Jiang Le, I can feel that you are different from those adventurers. You are a very powerful person. If you are, I believe you can do what my ancestors did not do. "

"In this box is all the clues your family has got from the Western Roman Empire to now?" Jiang Le asked.

"Yes."

Jiang Le handed the box to Chris housekeeper and asked him to take it for himself. He opened the sheepskin map and looked at what was recorded on it. As expected, what was recorded on the sheepskin map was the chart of the Atlantic Ocean and some areas planned by lines, representing the sea area that had been explored by Bilson's family but not explored, It still accounts for six tenths of the entire Atlantic Ocean.

Through the efforts of unknown generations, we can barely explore four tenths of the Atlantic Ocean, which shows how difficult this inherited work is.

"Mr. Bilson, I can take over your entrustment, but I don't guarantee that it will be completed in the end." Jiang Le said sincerely, "after all, this is a matter of looking for a needle in a haystack, or your family's great business spanning nearly 1000 years."
