Ryan was startled by the screams, and then looked into the box too. When he saw what was in the box, he couldn't help but let out a groaning sound.

Because there was actually a person in the box; to be precise, a skeleton, a skeleton wearing a golden helmet and covered in shining golden armor.

No wonder Hermione screamed, after all, for a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl, even in bright sunlight, a skeleton in a wooden box would be a shock.

The skeleton lay flat on the shock-absorbing cotton batting in the box, with a blue velvet cloth under it, and a gilded and carved halberd in his right hand. This appearance did not fall apart, which means that this skeleton should have been specially fixed, and it was placed there in a standing position before.

The skeleton is covered from head to toe by a knight's plate armor, which has exquisite embossed and gilded patterns, and is decorated with a large number of gems. The most peculiar thing is that the armor, which should be the thickest chest, was opened with two large holes. Leave the skeleton's ribs exposed.

In addition, there are a lot of hollows on the arm armor and leg armor. Show the bones inside. On the skeleton's face, the visor was pushed onto the helmet. The exposed face is covered with gold flakes inlaid with a large number of precious stones on the mouth and cheeks. Even the hollow eye sockets are covered with gold weave. Jewelry surrounded by a large number of pearl flowers with a large sapphire in the center.

What is even more exaggerated is that through the gap in the armor, you can see that every bone inside is wrapped with gold wire and inlaid with jewelry.

On the hand gauntlets, each finger wears a ring with a large gemstone. He even wore a thumb-thick gold chain around his neck, which was also inlaid with gems of various colors, and the largest piece even had a thumb.

In short, this is a bejeweled skeleton, the richness of jewelry on it is so exaggerated that you can't even find where there is room on the bones to add jewelry.

"What is this?" asked Mr. Granger in surprise. The three women present showed a regretful expression. Jewelry is really flattering, but this kind of jewelry set directly on the bone shelf is revered, no matter how beautiful it is, it will not make people want to have it.

Because he was writing an adventure novel recently, Mr. Lambert had read a lot of materials, and among them there happened to be materials about the thing in front of him. So after listening to Mr. Granger's question, he quickly replied: "In the late 16th century, some people excavated the bones from the 2nd to the 5th century AD. At the time of the Reformation, the church wished that these bones belonged to the famous early saints. , can be used to consolidate the authority of the church. This skeleton is also known as the "dharma body". The biggest difference between them and standard skeletons is that they are all dressed in 18th century luxurious royal costumes and jewelry. The church holds an annual event for gem skeletons Memorial Ceremony."

It's just that because of different sects, there are very few churches in England and Northern Europe. In the era of no Internet, some remote knowledge is basically unknown if it is not specially searched. So it makes sense that the Grangers couldn't recognize what it was.

"The people who do this are really rich." Hermione sighed on the side.

Indeed, there may be thousands of gemstones on it, except for the broken gemstones used for edging, the large gemstones appear to be several hundred. In particular, the red spinel the size of a pigeon egg inlaid on the chest of the armor looks no smaller than the one on the queen's crown, and it is very valuable after a little thought.

Looking at the jewelry inlaid on it, you can see that the person who made this thing was not only rich, but also powerful. Jewelry craftsmen who can at least do this level are hard to find.

"This should be something from the church, let's see if there are any clues?" Mr. Lambert said, Hermione replied: "This should be something from France, because you see the blue color under the skull. The velvet is marked with golden luan flowers, which represents the French royal family in the past. We saw a lot of similar things in France during the summer vacation.”

"and this.

' Lane finished and took out a wax seal from the box containing the gold and silverware, with a French word on it: Reims.

Because many Britons have chosen French as their foreign language, the word can be understood by everyone present. Mr Lambert looked at it and said: "Lane, you said the ghost told you that this was sent here about two hundred years ago. I think it happened to be Napoleon's time, and France was in chaos. Some French people put this Important things were transferred to England, and for some reason, they never came back. These treasures stayed here. Reims, as the coronation site of the French royal family in the past, it is normal for the church there to have such treasures. "

The question now is how to deal with this thing? Although everyone agreed to share 50% of the proceeds in accordance with the law (treasures on British private land, the discoverer and the landowner each share half). However, how to make a move is a big problem. Once the French are attracted, it will be really troublesome.

But Lambert quickly settled on a solution after consulting with Mr. Granger. Back in London, Lane found that his father had started calling reporters.

Now that his father has a way, Ryan has entered a normal holiday life. Until this weekend when he was studying in the library, Hermione suddenly came in from outside and put a newspaper on the table.

"The Sun? When did your taste become like this?" Ryan asked Hermione strangely after glancing at the newspaper.

"Look at the fourth edition." Hermione said briefly.

Lane turned to the fourth edition at once, pretending that the previous editions didn't exist. Then he was surprised to see a picture of his father and Mr. Granger standing in front of a silver-plated cross.

Below the photo is written: A dentist and a writer from London. Extremely valuable artifacts have been found in England. They decided to return the relics to the French, who were willing to pay more than two million pounds or so in return for the two of them.

"This is really good news." Ryan said excitedly.

"Indeed." Hermione agreed. "It's a pity that the management of the exchange of Galleons in the magic world is too strict, otherwise I would be able to buy those very expensive books."

The thinking of learning gods is indeed different from that of normal people. Ryan made a deep self-examination for the pile of money that appeared in his mind just now.

When I got home that day, I saw my parents happily discussing the use of the money to travel around the world and fulfill their dream of owning a farm when they first got married. There was also a smile on Ryan's face: he felt happy from the bottom of his heart that he could use his abilities to bring a better life to his family.
