Chapter 430: 【430】The treasure of the Roman Empire

This is a very dilapidated box. As far as the box is concerned, it has no value at all. It is a product chiseled by an ordinary craftsman.

Jiang Le opened the box cautiously, and immediately saw several items in the box:

A yellowish black and white photo with missing corners. Although the photo has become very blurred due to age, it is still vaguely able to see that the photo is an aristocratic man. I don’t know that this person has a relationship with the Earl of Pilsen. what relationship.

A rolled up sheepskin map, this thing looks amazing, even if Jiang Le is not a professional appreciator, he can feel the oldness of this sheepskin map.

A single telescopic telescope made of brass and a black envelope.

This is all the things in the box.

Jiang Le didn't check it out, but looked at Lord Bilson and asked: "Mr. Earl, you still don't let me guess the riddle, just tell me what your commission is."

"This box contains all the belongings of my great-great-grandfather. He was a nobleman in Great Britain in the 16th century. He was the leader of the British bourgeoisie and controlled 70% of ocean companies." Pilsen's expression showed a trace of remembrance.

His great-great-grandfather is so hungry that he can only be a mediocre earl in his generation, and it can only be regarded as a fall in the family.

"Before AD 395, the southeastern part of Great Britain was under the rule of the Roman Empire. What you should know about the Roman Empire. The most powerful European empire in history. The Mediterranean Sea was its back garden. It straddled the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. Controlling nearly 5 million square kilometers of land, it is the unrelenting overlord of Europe.

However, when the empire finally collapsed, the Roman Empire was split into Western Rome and Eastern Rome. The two countries each held half of the land, but the territory of the empire continued to shrink. In the end, Western Rome was invaded by the Germans and perished at the same time. The Germanic kingdoms were established. After the fall of Western Rome, Eastern Rome became the only successor of the Roman Empire.

In 1453, the capital of East Rome, Constantinople, was captured by the Ottoman Sultan Muhammad II. In 1460, the territory of East Rome in Moria was occupied by the Ottoman Empire. In 1461, the Ottoman Empire took another shot. Has withdrawn from the stage of history, and now the land has been disintegrated into countries such as Austria and the Rhine Confederation. "

Jiang Le listened carefully to Pilsen's words. As an earl, it was impossible for him to specifically ask the butler to invite himself an outsider to come to popularize historical knowledge. His entrustment must be hidden in these many words, and every sentence is a clue.

"My great-great-grandfather, he was not a native of England who was born in Great Britain, but a person who migrated from Rome. His ancestors were the elders of the Western Roman Empire."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Le was shocked in his heart. During the Roman Empire, there were two well-known forces, namely the Senate and the Roman People’s Congress. The Senate was the organ of power in ancient Rome and was composed of the elders of the clan’s wealthy nobles. , Also known as the Council of Elders, has the right to assist the emperor in managing the entire country.

To be a member of the Senate, the ancestor of Earl Pilsen is truly amazing, both in terms of rights and status are terrifying and amazing.

"My great-great-grandfather’s ancestors witnessed the Western Roman Empire being led by the'barbarians' Germans into Italy, besieging the city of Rome, opening the city gates with the cooperation of the slaves in the city, plundering the wealth of the city, and on the land of the Western Roman Empire. Established the Gothic Kingdom, the barbarians collected all the treasures of the former Western Roman Empire, and when the Gothic Kingdom died, they took all those treasures away, and sailed into the Atlantic Ocean by boat. He spent his entire life on going out to sea. Looking for the whereabouts of the treasures did not yield much. The task of finding these treasures has been passed on from generation to generation by our family until my generation."

Bilson looked at the box in Jiang Le’s hand, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his tone: "I have invited many explorers to help me accomplish this, but the end result is the same. No one can Find the location of those treasures for me. Today, I asked Chris to invite you over. It is also for this, Mr. Jiang Le, I can feel that you are different from those adventurers. You are a very powerful person. If it is you, I believe you can do what my ancestors did not accomplish."

"This box contains all the clues your family has obtained from the Western Roman Empire to the present?" Jiang Le asked.

"Yes."

Jiang Le handed the box to Butler Chris and asked him to hold it for himself, while he opened the sheepskin map and checked the items recorded on it. As expected, what Jiang Le expected was recorded on the sheepskin map. It is the chart of the Atlantic Ocean, some areas planned with lines, representing that this sea area has been explored by the Pilsen family, and the unexplored sea area still accounts for six-tenths of the entire Atlantic Ocean.

After not knowing how many generations of people have worked hard, they can barely explore four-tenths of the Atlantic Ocean. This shows how difficult this inherited work is.

"Mr. Bilson, I can accept your commission, but there is no guarantee that it will be completed in the end." Jiang Le said sincerely: "After all, this is a matter of finding a needle in a haystack, or is your family's family business for nearly a thousand years. ."
