After calming her for a while, Momoya Rie finally stabilized, and Jiang Hao let go of her, "Okay, we'd better get out of here quickly." ”

Laura helped Rie Momoya to stand up, hugged Rie Momoya again to comfort her, Jiang Hao glanced at the scene again, the corpses of mercenaries all over the ground, the remains of undead samurai all over the ground, this time there were really too many dead.

The three of them walked in the direction of Yongdao, and at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of Yongdao, and the three of them were startled.

"Professor Jones!" Jiang Hao screamed in surprise.

Professor Jones looked at the three of them, walked over quickly and hugged each of them, "Thank God for seeing you, this expedition is so dangerous, we have encountered too many dangers. ”

"Rie, are you okay?" Professor Jones looked at Rie Momoya again.

"Yes, professor, I'm fine, it was Jiang Haojun who saved me." Momoya said with palpitations.

"Okay, then let's get out of here." Professor Jones said.

When the three of them went down the mountain, Jiang Hao asked, "Professor Jones, why are you here?" ”

"I was caught by the mercenary leader Vogel and asked me to help him find the palace and sort out the antiques he found, and when I walked here, there was a sudden battle, and I was so frightened that I hid." Professor Jones said.

The four of them walked for a long time, and finally came to the river, they saw several hovercraft parked on the beach, after the four of them got on the boat, Jiang Hao checked it and found that there was a lot of oil stored on it, which should be enough for them to return to the land.

"Now that Queen Himiko is completely gone, the witchcraft here should be lifted, and we can leave." Jiang Hao said.

"What about the survivors who were left on the island?" Rie Momoya asked.

"When we go back, we can contact the Japanese government and inform us of the matter here, and I believe that the Japanese government will send someone to deal with it properly." Professor Jones said.

Sail

They did not leave Yamatai Island as soon as possible, but went around to the other side of the island, which is the location of Jiang Hao and Lao ** Island, and the two landed on the island again, and in that cave, they found the travel bag containing Laura's father, Count Crawford.

Of course, it was Jiang Hao who was the first to come in and secretly put it back.

Laura carried her father's bones on her back, and the two boarded the hovercraft again, the hovercraft headed towards the sea, this time they did not encounter a storm, and the boat left Yamadai Island smoothly, adjusted its direction, let the boat drive automatically, and headed towards Kagoshima, Japan.

"Okay, finally we can breathe a sigh of relief, we can go home." Professor Jones said.

More than ten hours passed, the hovercraft finally returned to Kagoshima, the hovercraft docked at the pier, Jiang Hao said: "Professor Jones, I will report to you about Yamatai with the Japanese government, Laura and I are going to take the bones of Count Crawford back for burial as soon as possible." ”

Professor Jones nodded and said, "We have left contact information, I will return to the United States in the near future, if you go to the United States, you can come to me, if you need any help with archaeology, you can call me." ”

Jiang Hao smiled and nodded, this time he became friends with this old man.

When saying goodbye, Rie Momoya hugged Jiang Hao again, with shyness on his face, bowed and said, "Jiang Haojun, if you come to Japan, remember to contact me, I can accompany you on a tour of Japan." ”

"Maybe there's a chance." Jiang Hao responded with a smile.

A day later, Jiang Hao and Laura finally got on the plane back to London, and the plane rushed into the air, and the mood of the two eased.

This adventure is really dangerous and exciting.

After the plane landed, the car of the Crawford family came to pick up Laura, and when the two said goodbye, Laura also hugged Jiang Hao and said: "Jon, thank you really this time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to find my father back, I will hold a funeral for my father tomorrow, I hope you can come to attend." ”

"Of course, I'll go, and Laura, don't be too upset, it's been a long time coming." Jiang Hao said.

"Yes, I understand." Laura smiled.

The half-month adventure finally came to a successful end, Jiang Hao returned to his own teacher's dormitory at the University of London, watching the sun shine through the window, a warm smell in the room, Jiang Hao suddenly had a feeling of happiness, sometimes people need stimulation, but more often peace is a blessing.

OK，

Next, let's count the loot of his war this time, Jiang Hao began to dig things out of the space.

Speaking of which, I have gained a lot this time.

Gold utensils are taken out one by one, gold plates, gold bowls, gold incense burners, gold pots, gold lamps, and so on, although these gold vessels are not extremely ornate, but they are also rare works of art.

At that time, he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to count it, but now he counted it carefully, and found that there were as many as 112 pieces, and the whole floor was arranged, Jiang Hao estimated it, just counting the price of gold, this batch of things is almost worth about 10 million US dollars.

Counting the gold coins with the portrait of Queen Himiko one by one, there are 186 pieces, and I don't know if this number has any meaning.

Two sides of the Han Dynasty bronze mirror.

The king of Wei rewarded the "King of Wa" with a gold seal, which was absolutely valuable.

Susanenghu's set of golden armor, including his bones, is in it, that's right, Jiang Hao even brought the bones of others.

There is also a set of gold hairpin ornaments on the head of Queen Himiko, which is very gorgeous and exquisite, Jiang Hao remembers that she saw this set of golden hairpins on those murals.

In the end, Jiang Hao took out the relic again, in the sun, this relic shone with colorful light, just like the effect of the sun shining on the diamond that had been cut, and Jiang Hao used spiritual power to probe this bead, and found that it contained a stream of energy, this energy Jiang Hao felt very much like spiritual power, he still can't understand this thing, he is going to keep it for the time being, and wait for a deeper understanding in the future.

It's okay to be curious about some things, but don't touch them randomly without being sure, because rash experiments will result in mostly bad things.

was bitten by a spider, but not everyone can become Spider-Man, and more likely to die of poisoning.

That's all he got out of this expedition.

Wrong

Jiang Hao thought of his golden space again, this time he found a large amount of golden sand, and the space expanded by 2.5 cubic meters to 13 cubic meters, which is also a very huge harvest, you know, dozens of tons of gold are a huge wealth in any era.

Looking at the room full of things, Jiang Hao felt that it was necessary for him to get a place where he could safely store these treasures, of course, it would be best if there was a manor, he would definitely go treasure hunting in the future, some equipment and firearms needed to be prepared, and it was very necessary to have a place of his own.

If you want to get a place like that, you need a lot of money, and now Jiang Hao is a poor bastard, he looked at these treasures again, and Jiang Hao decided to auction a batch.

The Japanese often auction Chinese antiques, and this time it's Lao Tzu's turn, let's get a special auction of the treasures of Queen Himiko in Japan, I don't know how those Japanese will react, will they be crazy, hahaha.

Following

Jiang Hao put on a decent black suit and came to the Crawford Manor in the suburbs of London, the cemetery was behind the manor, Jiang Hao found that many people had come, and in the backyard, Jiang Hao saw Laura dressed in black.

At this time, Laura was receiving everyone's comfort, Jiang Hao walked over and hugged her gently, "Count Crawford has gone home, and I can accompany you forever in the future, I believe this is the result he hopes for the most." ”

Laura whispered in Jiang Hao's ear, "Thank you for your comfort, Jon." ”

The funeral begins,

Relatives and friends saw off Count Crawford, and in the procession, Jiang Hao saw a person, a white woman in her 50s, if Jiang Hao was not mistaken, this woman should be the manager of Crawford's family company, Ms. Anna.

Jiang Hao's heart suddenly flashed all the information about this Ms. Anna,

This lady is a member of the Holy Trinity, Anna is the ex-girlfriend of the Count of Crawford, who later managed the family assets for the Count of Crawford and is the right-hand man of the Count of Crawford.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao felt that the Count Crawford was also a very playful person, his ex-girlfriend was an assistant, and he followed him without getting married all his life, and maybe he used it occasionally, which was a super relationship.

Before Count Crawford went on an expedition to Yamatai Island, he entrusted Anna with the management of the family assets and made her Laura's temporary guardian.

In the past, Anna was very loving and caring for the Crawford family and Laura, but later this relationship changed, Anna had an incurable disease, and his younger brother Constantine was a member of the Holy Trinity, and took him into the Holy Trinity, treated her with supernatural powers, and controlled her disease from developing.

Konstantin was a very ambitious fellow, and he knew that Count Crawford had joined the Holy Trinity before, but later withdrew, but Count Crawford still had many secrets about supernatural powers, such as Himiko.

Konstantin wanted to get these powers, so he threatened his sister with the treatment of diseases, and made him an undercover agent of the Holy Trinity, monitoring Count Crawford, but Jiang Hao felt that the commander of this Anna lady may not be the real Holy Trinity high-level, but his younger brother Konstantin, who has always been his ambition, and this expedition to Yamatai Island, the Vogel who led the mercenaries to Yamatai, the commander behind it is Constantine.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao couldn't help but glance at this Ms. Anna a few more times.

That Ms. Anna also seemed to notice that Jiang Hao was looking at her, turned her head to look at Jiang Hao, the two looked at each other, Anna smiled at Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao smiled back.

This is the first official meeting between the two.

After the funeral, everyone else left, but Laura left Jiang Hao and took him to visit his manor, the two walked in the corridor, Jiang Hao looked at the decorations with a simple atmosphere, and the corridor that could never be finished, and said with a smile: "You are really big here, won't you get lost." ”

Laura smiled too, "I did get lost when I was a kid, but then it got better. ”

"What are you going to do next, continue your studies?" Jiang Hao asked.

Laura shook her head, "In a few days, I'm going to inherit my father's title and accept the inheritance, which I didn't want to face before, but now my father has returned." ”

"I'm not going to go to school anymore, I've been thinking a lot about it these days, and I've decided to follow my father's career and continue to do archaeological expeditions, and I found that that's what I like, but before that, I think I still need to learn a lot of things, such as fighting, wilderness survival, bows and arrows, firearms, geography, history, nature, and so on."

Speaking of this, Laura turned her head to look at Jiang Hao, "Jon, I found that you are really amazing, as if you can do anything, how did you do it." ”

Jiang Hao smiled, "Insist on continuous learning and challenging yourself." ”

Laura was obedient and silent for a while, then nodded, "Jon, if we explore in the future, let's be a good partner, I know that there is still a big gap between me and you now, but I will study hard." ”

Jiang Hao smiled and stretched out a hand.

Laura looked at Jiang Hao's hand and slapped it hard, and the two became partners and exploration partners from now on.

Jiang Hao was about to leave, Laura sent it to the door, and when he said goodbye, Jiang Hao suddenly said: "Laura, after you inherit the family assets, I want you to take a closer look before signing the documents." ”

Laura was stunned, "Do you have something to tell me?" ”

"Do you remember the equipment brought by the mercenaries we saw during the expedition, and there were some company logos on those boxes, and I found some clues in those logos, which were about the companies of the Crawford Group?" After saying that, he waved to Laura and drove away.

Laura was a little puzzled, standing at the door and watching Jiang Hao's car leave, but since this expedition, Laura's trust in Jiang Hao has risen to a very high level, and she took Jiang Hao's words to heart.

Half a month later, Laura officially accepted the earldom and became the British countess and the eleventh earl of the Crawford family.

After inheriting the title of earl, in the presence of a lawyer, Laura accepted the inheritance of the property, and after signing, the property was officially transferred to Laura's name.

Anna brought a thick register with a list of family assets, and Anna smiled and said to Laura, "This is your father's inheritance to you." ”

Seeing this thick list, Laura was also extremely surprised, "Does the Crawford family have so many companies?" ”

"Most of them are investments, we are only shareholders, some of them are under the control of the Crawford Group, but there are also professional CEOs who are responsible for management, and before that, the affairs of the head office have been handled by me, and now after you receive these inheritances, if you want to continue to let me manage, you need to sign a new entrustment agreement." Anna said with a smile.

Laura suddenly sounded what Jiang Hao had said to her, and quietly took the thick list and looked at it very carefully.

suddenly

She saw the name of a "Butner Company" and looked closely at the company's logo badge, and her heart moved.

If she remembered correctly, the equipment box brought by the mercenaries on the island of Himiko was the icon of the Batna Company.

Laura's mind turned, this Butner Company is a subsidiary of the Crawford Group, and the logo of this company appeared in the hands of those mercenaries on Yamatai Island, so she has reason to suspect that this mercenary exploration of Yamatai may have something to do with the Crawford Group, and the only one who can command them is Aunt Anna who is standing behind her.

Laura continued to flip back, and finally finished reading it all and closing the information.

At this time, Anna took out a power of attorney from the clip in her hand and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Laura, this is a power of attorney, you need to sign it before I can continue to manage the company." ”

Laura looked at the power of attorney, pushed it aside and said with a smile: "Aunt Anna, I know that you have worked very hard to help your father manage the company over the years, and you have to be busy with a lot of things alone, so I am ready to hire a professional management team to help manage the company, and I will also invite professional lawyers and economists to join the team." ”

Anna's face froze, and she looked at Laura in surprise, "Laura, I have been managing the company for more than ten years, and I know the company's situation very well, if outsiders take over, I'm afraid they will mess up the company's operations." ”

Laura still had a sincere smile on her face, "Aunt Anna, I think the management team will manage the company more scientifically, and you really need to take a break." ”

Anna's eyes became a little dazed, she took back the power of attorney on the table, put it in the folder, and slowly walked out of the Crawford Manor hall, her back a little depressed and lonely.

......

Jiang Hao's days returned to peace, and he reappeared in the classroom on Monday to give a lecture on occultism to the few students.

In Japan, however, it has been very lively in recent days, because of one thing, Queen Himiko's Yamadai Kingdom appeared, and the Japanese government sent a ship to the island to conduct an in-depth investigation of Yamadai Island, and at this moment has sent a dozen expedition teams of nearly 300 people to carry out all-round exploration and excavation of Yamadai Island.

Queen Himiko is a true god in Japan, the supreme god of Shintoism in Japan, Amaterasu, and the discovery of her palace caused a sensation throughout Japan.

All the news media in Japan are all about the excavations of the Yamadai ruins and various reports about Queen Himiko.

Asahi Shimbun: "The Japanese government officially excavated the ruins of the Yamatai country, and on an island, found the ruins of the Yamatai country and the palace of Queen Himiko, its scale is incomparably huge, although it has gone through more than a thousand years, it is still preserved, before, there are many legends about Queen Himiko in China, and Yamatai has not been discovered, this time I don't know if I can solve some ancient mysteries." ”

Yomiuri Shimbun: "It has been rumored for a long time that Yamadai was rumored to be the Devil's Sea, and countless ships and planes have wrecked and disappeared in that area, and no one dares to approach it, but recently for unknown reasons, that area has become calm and calm, and any ship can approach it." ”

"As a result, the government is preparing to carry out large-scale excavations on Yamatai Island, and now the government has sent warships and coast guards to strictly cordon off the area, not allowing any private vessels to approach."

Japan Mainichi Shimbun: "The government expedition team excavated Yamadai Island, issued the first batch of excavation materials, a total of more than 100 photos, we can see that there are countless exquisite murals, these strokes are still well preserved after more than 1,000 years, the mural of this woman is Queen Himiko, our Amaterasu. ”

"These are photos of the palace complex, which shocked the entire archaeological community by its sheer scale, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare said it would devote its greatest efforts to conservation excavations."

Tokyo Shimbun reported: "Yesterday, the prime minister personally arrived on Yamadai Island, observed the ruins of Yamadai Province, and gave instructions on the excavation operation, saying that the history of Japan is recorded here, and it must be strictly protected. ”

Looking at these constantly fermenting news reports, Jiang Hao smiled, it seems that his own sale of antiques can be put on the agenda.

However, Jiang Hao knows that this matter must be very sensitive, and it is very likely to provoke the sensitive nerves of the Japanese, the Japanese government is conducting a large-scale investigation of Yamatai Island at the moment, and must have seen those mercenaries who died tragically, and knew that some of the treasures had been taken away, and if it was auctioned now, the Japanese government was likely to jump out to protest and even exert pressure in the name of the government.

So Jiang Hao felt that he should find someone to bear this pressure with him.

Jiang Hao picked up his mobile phone and dialed it out, and after a short time, the phone was connected, and a panting voice came from inside: "Jon, I'm exercising, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Count Laura Crawford, may I invite you to dinner?" Jiang Hao asked.

Laura's laughter came from the phone, "Dinner, I think about it, it seems that there is no reservation tonight, I can agree to your invitation." ”

"Okay, at 5 p.m., I'll pick you up at the manor." Jiang Hao said.

"That's it." Hanging up, Laura looked at the time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, she was no longer training, and shouted, "Horry, Horry!" ”

There was a rush of footsteps, and a butler in a tuxedo stood up to Laura, and said with a smile, "Laura, what do you need?" ”

"I need your professional advice, I'm going to have dinner with a gentleman in a moment, what do you think I should wear?" Laura asked.

Horry blinked: "Man? ”

"Yes man."

"Young or old?"

"Young."

"Do you think he will take you to a place to eat, a high-end restaurant or an ordinary place, will you have activities after eating, such as watching a movie or something?" Horry asked.

Laura thought for a moment, "I don't know. ”

Horry spread his hands, "I see. ”

"So, are you going to do something in the evening?" Horry asked vaguely.

Laura rolled her eyes, then bit her lip and said, "Who knows, it hasn't been before." ”

"Is he pursuing you?" Horry asked curiously.

"No, there isn't." Laura said.

"That's what you want to pursue him?" Horry squinted his eyes and looked probing.

"Hori!" Laura glared at her butler and shouted.

Horry immediately raised his hand, "I'm just trying to figure out what you need, Laura, you're 21 years old, it's normal, isn't it, okay, you go take a shower, I'll get you a set of clothes for tonight." ”

Walking into the incomparably large bathroom, barefoot on the marble floor, Laura's clothes were thrown on the floor one by one, revealing a perfect figure, long legs, breasts and hips, and perfect proportions.

Finally walked to the pool, stepped into the warm bath, looked at the rows of bubble baths next to him, and ran his fingers over them, "Will he like that scent?" ”
