Chapter 57: The Scepter of the Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun
Li Jianchun greeted many bosses in medicinal materials business. He kept the good medicinal materials, but the price was not a problem. He also started to go to the mountains to collect herbs with his equipment, hoping to find some rare medicines.
Cao Zhi went to the UK to study and studied. With Cao Zhi's computer skills, he passed the Oxford University assessment very smoothly. He was admitted without tuition and directly applied for two courses, computer subjects and electronic hardware design subjects.
Everyone is busy and has their own plans. This time, I entered the Immortal World in Yunzhong, sobered everyone. Although my strength is good in the outside world, it is not enough to explore this kind of secret realm.
If you don’t have enough strength, you will be completely a waste of death. Another thing, Guo Xiaotian said, if you don’t have enough strength, you will have to withdraw from the Truth-seeking lineage. If you don’t want to be eliminated, you can only try your best to increase your strength. Everyone is holding their breath in their hearts.
The same is true for Guo Xiaotian. Arthur didn't call him, so Guo Xiaotian would leave Macau and go to Africa and Mauritius.
There is an island there that belongs to Portugal. Although it covers an area of only a few square kilometers, it costs a lot. It has been bought by Guo Xiaotian and is a permanent property.
The reason I chose this island is because there is a freshwater resource on the island, and Mauritius has no rights to the island. This island belongs to Portugal. It doesn’t care about it at all. As long as the annual fee is received, you can do whatever you want on the island.
At the beginning of last year, Portugal urgently needed a lot of money due to domestic economic problems. The relevant Portugal departments found Guo Xiaotian and the two sides signed a new agreement.
Guo Xiaotian paid a large fee at one time. For a hundred years, the Portuguese government had sovereignty on the island, but it did not have management rights and was not bound by the Portuguese Constitution. All rights of the island belonged to Guo Xiaotian, and the two parties also signed legal contracts.
Quadruple copies, Guo Xiaotian, Portuguese court, one copy, one copy of the competent department, and one copy of the parliament, used for stubs. This matter was very secretive, and the ruling party also voted in the parliament and passed the contract so as not to take the blame in the future.
In other words, as long as Guo Xiaotian does not pursue independence on the island, even if he sells drugs on the island, Portugal doesn't care. No matter how much you do, there are zero living facilities in all aspects, and Portugal doesn't care at all.
If Congress hadn't approved the sale of sovereignty, the ruling party would have wanted to sell sovereignty directly in exchange for funds, but what's the difference between this contract now and selling sovereignty?
Maybe when there will be another economic crisis, Portugal will sell its sovereignty to the island. Anyway, it is stolen. It will not be a pity for the place where birds do not shit.
The construction of the island has been started for almost a year and is now in its finale. It mainly involves decoration and greening. After the supervision company conducts a comprehensive inspection, it will be completed completely.
Moreover, there are a team of twenty mercenaries stationed on the island all year round, and they are rotated every month. The mercenaries are from the French Earl Mercenary Company. Guo Xiaotian owns shares in this company and is the fourth largest shareholder.
I don’t care about my business and enjoy dividends every year. After I get the island, I will give the company a direct order and hire a team of mercenaries to protect the island. The company makes money, and Guo Xiaotian also increases the safety of the island and everyone is happy.
The island's electricity uses wind and solar power generation, which can fully meet all the costs of the island. The network uses a satellite network, which connects the global network anytime and anywhere, which is very convenient.
There are various food stored in the large cold storage, even if you don’t leave the island for a year, you can withstand it. There are also an armed yacht, a submarine, two armed helicopters, several weapons, and an oil depot. It is very safe and is an ideal place to retreat on the island.
Now Arthur's phone call is coming, and Guo Xiaotian can't go to the island to inspect, so he can only postpone it later. Once there is no need for his own needs at the auction, Guo Xiaotian will go to the island to inspect directly.
Four days passed slowly, and the special commissioner of Fujiby Auction House Asia sent the album over, which was very detailed. Guo Xiaotian looked through it, but there was no expression on his face, but he felt a little uneasy.
There was actually the scepter of ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. This is a bit incredible. Pharaoh Tutankhamun became famous not because of his achievements in his rebirth, but because of his reputation after his death.
Tutankhamun died at the age of 19 and did not leave any political measures. Because when he died, his pyramid was not built and could only be buried in a very small place.
During the colonial era, his tomb was discovered by Western archaeologists, and since then Tutankhamun became the representative of ancient Egyptian pharaohs because many rare treasures were unearthed in his tomb, and even the coffin was made of more than 200 kilograms of gold.
What's strange is that the "Pharaoh Curse" about him is said to have been killed without any warning, and the Pharaoh's curse seems to be becoming more and more mysterious.
According to incomplete statistics, the official data given by the person who participated in the excavation of his tomb was that only five percent of the people died, but in fact they all died of unlimited deaths. Forensic identification was natural death, and no reason could be found.
Only Professor Howard Carter, the person in charge of excavation at that time, did not die. However, strangely, Professor Carter's family all passed away inexplicably, and Carter eventually lived alone for life.
The strangest legend is that his burial items must be isolated with a glass cover, otherwise, those who collect him will die inexplicably, which is very strange and scary.
Others don’t know, but Guo Xiaotian is indeed very clear that the scepter of each pharaoh is not that simple, but has mechanisms. As for what kind of mechanism it is, he doesn’t know.
"It seems that this auction is really going to be attended," Guo Xiaotian said to himself, and his fingers slowly tapped on the chair, thinking about this matter.
A European archaeologist, Katherine, who Guo Xiaotian knew, once said that his mentor Bo Fei died of this curse and found a cemetery in Egypt and a scepter of the pharaoh.
The scepter was used by a pharaoh, and there was no record of it. A parchment scroll was obtained from the mechanism on the scepter, which was written with an unrecognizable text and an indistinguishable map. Even if it was compared by satellite, there was no similarity to the map.
After Bo Fei used special channels to bring his staff out of Egypt for sale in France, he wanted to enjoy his life with the money from the auction, but in the end, he began to suffer from internal organ failure a month later.
In order to survive, the best hospitals in the UK, the United States and Switzerland conducted examinations, but no cause was found. Even if the organ was sliced through surgery, no cause of organ failure was found.
