Chapter 336 More Treasures
The two left Bavaria and came to the German New Village near the Czech border in Saxony, Germany.
There are some gold and silver treasures buried here, from the "Amber House" of Ekaterina Palace in Russia.
The "Amber House" was a gift given to the Russian Tsar Peter the Great by King William I of Prussia in 1716. In the mid-18th century, Russian female Tsar Katerina II ordered craftsmen to renovate it.
According to records, the world-famous "Amber Palace" was built in 1709. It has 12 wall panels and 12 pillars, all made of amber that was more expensive than gold at that time. It was also inlaid with diamonds, gems, gold and silver foil. The total weight exceeded 6 tons and an area of about 55 square meters. After the completion, the "Amber Palace" was known as the "Eighth Miracle of the World". In 1941, the German army invaded the "Amber House" from the Ekaterina Palace in Leningrad and transported it to Germany. These treasures disappeared in the war in the late World War II, and their whereabouts were unknown.
While Qin Di and Yan Xue were excavating fragments of the Amber Palace, they accidentally alarmed the nearby German defenders.
They had no choice but to knock out more than 100 German troops and erase their short-term memories.
Then, they dug out many treasures from Russia, and 7 of them were dug out for the Tsar Easter eggs alone and put them in a tight iron box.
The Russian goldsmith Faberge created the Tsar Easter eggs, and he used his ingenuity to turn the original ordinary easter eggs into a gorgeous legend. The Faberge Easter eggs elevated the art of jewelry to the highest level of decorative art since the Renaissance.
1885 marks the 20th anniversary of the ascension of the Russian Tsar Alexander III. On this special Easter, Alexander III wanted to prepare a special holiday gift for his beloved wife, Queen Maria Feodorovna.
Alexander III summoned a young jewelry designer, Faberge.
On the morning of Easter, Faberge presented Alexander III a resurrection egg that looked simple and unrestrained. But to everyone's surprise, there was an egg made of gold inside the shell on the outer layer of the white enamel. Inside the egg was a small golden hen, and there was a mini crown made of diamonds in the belly of the golden hen, and a miniature egg made of rubies. In a small Easter egg, several layers of "mechanisms" hidden to the queen brought great surprises. Maria couldn't put down Faberge's gift.
Alexander III issued an edict to Faberge to design an Easter egg every year for tribute, and required each easter egg to be unique and to make the queen happy.
Since then, Faberge has become the royal artist of the Tsarist court. He has devoted half of his life to serving the Tsar, and has been competent for the challenges year after year, designing 50 unique Easter egg art fine works for the Tsar and Queen of the two dynasties.
In addition to designing easter eggs for the royal family, Faberge has workshops in Moscow, Odessa, and Kiev, and also set up branches in London. At its peak, Faberge had as many employees as 500, making it the leading jewelry store in Russia. Due to too many orders, he invited top craftsmen from all over the country. He himself was mainly responsible for setting goals, providing design, and making product catalogs.
After the fall of the Romanov dynasty in 1918, Faberge's property was confiscated and part of it was looted. Faberge and his family boarded the last diplomatic train to Riga and left Russia.
The seven easter eggs dug out by Qin Di are real Tsar Easter eggs and are part of those 50 easter eggs.
Yan Xue couldn't put down her love when she looked at the easter eggs. As a carefully crafted work of art, these easter eggs were amazingly beautiful!
However, Qin Di couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, "Everything of this thing has been recorded. It falls into our hands. We can only put it at home to enjoy it and can't be taken out for auction."
Yan Xue still smiled and said, "When I turned around and made a window at home and put these seven easter eggs on it, every guest who came to visit might be scared to death. Sir, isn't this too high-profile?"
Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "This kind of treasure is placed at home in a noble way, and most people can't tell whether it is true or false."
Yan Xue smiled and said, "Then let's just say that!"
After that, they also went to Gastein, Salzburg, and Salzkamerk in Austria, where they found some treasure spots.
In addition to these national treasure sites buried under the order of Hitler, there are also some private treasures, which are also amazing.
They found some of Marshal Gore's private property in the steel and concrete cellar of the Villa Weltonstein near Nuremberg, including 36 large gold candlesticks, a silver bathtub, 50 million German marks, thousands of famous paintings, 1,500 rare jewelry, and 200 precious ancient furniture.
Green arranged a private guard of 30 people near his villa, but this small guard was not enough for Qin Di and Yan Xue to stumble between his teeth.
In addition, they found 200 million francs of property in the garden of Villa Oskriga in the secret police chief Katun Brenner; in the alpine ranch area of Braya Almer, they found 900 million francs of gold and silver treasures buried by Eichman, the head of Natue concentration camp.
In the end, Qin Di felt numb when he saw so much wealth.
"Enough! Annoying! No matter how much I have left, I don't want it anymore! Let's go, let's go home!"
They were too lazy to rob the British Museum and the Louvre in France again, so they used these two museums as a shameful memory to warn future generations!
The two broke south and walked east from the Mesopotamia.
When passing Iraq, Qin Di found several small spiritual veins in the desert, and was led by him to the Naxu gourd.
It’s not surprising that the Middle East is a “land of milk and honey”. A long time ago, immortals stopped and used secret techniques to lock the spiritual veins underground. Otherwise, how could so much oil come from? Just dig a well in the yard and you can dig out oil! It’s hard to say that there is no attention from the gods!
Qin Di also found two medium-sized spiritual veins, but unfortunately they were buried deep in the ground. The traction array plate he refined was too low to pull out the spiritual veins!
He could only sigh: "Forget it, I'll go back first and come back after I advance to the Nascent Soul in the future."
Qin Di had reason to believe that Africa also had spiritual veins, otherwise the devastating Egyptian civilization would not have been born. However, because the five elements spiritual veins were unbalanced, Africa in later generations became very drought.
Instead of going to Africa, they continued to go east, passed Pakistan to India, and then pulled out more than a dozen spiritual veins in India's Taj Mahal, Lotus Temple and Ganges River, then crossed the Himalayas and came to Samu Temple in Tibet.
