Chapter 808 A Big Gamble

"PS. I will take two days off at the beginning of next month, so don't wait for updates tomorrow and the day after.

After the plane arrived, it was still Barry's butler who came to pick him up.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that Butler Barry is much more energetic than the last time we met, and his movements are also more agile.

"Barry, you look a lot younger." Leon greeted enthusiastically.

It turns out he saw it too.

Barry responded with a smile: "During this period, I really feel that my body is better than before."

Judging from the way he was hesitant to speak, he probably had something to hide.

It's just that I didn't explain it clearly because I was outside.

At this point, Luo Quan basically made a guess. It seemed that his grandfather had a lot of antiques.

After driving all the way to the manor, my father, who arrived first after getting off the car, came up and gave my mother a hug after a long separation.

Luo Quan looked behind his father and found that his second uncle, three aunts and other elders were all there, and the whole family was gathered together.

After thinking about it, it seems that no elder has a birthday now, and I don't know what the important reason is that makes everyone so excited.

After everyone arrived, Wen Xia and Junzi were taken upstairs by Butler Barry to be settled, while the others followed the old man to a room guarded by several bodyguards.

"Why is it so grand? Old man, are you planning to divide the family property among us?" The fourth uncle chuckled, still looking so informal.

But this time the old man was not angry, he just nodded solemnly: "You can also say that."

Hearing this, the fourth uncle's expression changed: "Dad, you must be sick, don't scare me."

When he made a joke before, the old man would scold him at first, or directly attack him at worst.

But this time there was no expression, and the fourth uncle subconsciously thought that something had happened to the old man.

"I'm in good health, you don't need to worry." The old man glanced at him, as if to say, I won't die even if you die.

"The main reason I called you here this time is to tell you one thing. There have been some changes in the world we live in."

As the old man spoke, he pressed the button on the remote control, and a video began to play on the projection screen in the room. It was about the impact of last year's meteor shower and the resurgence of the aura sealed by the Mayan civilization.

After the video was played, some members of the family looked surprised, as if they thought it was some kind of joke.

Others had calm expressions, as if they had known for a long time.

"Actually, a friend of mine in the United States told me about it a long time ago, and I have been collecting antiques during this time."

Eric spoke softly: "Almost all the good antiques are now owned, and they can't be bought easily, so it seems it's still a step too late."

"It's the same here. All the good things are bought by others first." Second uncle Andre sighed.

Charles smiled slightly: "Fortunately, old man, I have prepared for a rainy day. I know that these antiques are priceless treasures, and I have been collecting them all these years.

You still say I spent my money in vain, what about now? "

Sure enough, ginger is still old and hot. As soon as the old man opened his mouth, the children immediately shouted wisely.

"However, my collection alone cannot be said to be very good, but there will be a gambling game jointly organized by all European nobles, and there will be quite a lot of treasures in this gambling game."

Charles stood up as he spoke and sent the gambling information to the screen.

This is a gambling game jointly organized by the British, Russian and Holy See.

All European nobles, rich men and even officials can participate, and the bets can only be on antiques.

Next, there will be a martial arts battle. The competition format is similar to the previous martial arts leader conference that was popular all over China. It is also a 1V1 arena competition. The winner will advance.

However, the scale this time is much smaller than that of China.

However, the small scale and few participants probably means that the proportion of experts will be very high.

"What's the winner's reward?" Luo Quan asked curiously.

"First option for the Shroud, and the right to use the Crown of the British Empire for one year."

Charles' voice was low and he made a shocking revelation.

I don’t know what the Shrouded Blossom Spring is, but the Crown of the British Empire is really thunderous.

This was created for Queen Victoria in 1838. It is set with the Cullinan II diamond known as the "Star of Africa". In addition, there are 5 rubies, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, 269 pearls and 2868 diamonds of various sizes.

Perhaps it is not the oldest crown in Britain, but the era in which it was born was the most powerful period when Britain was still known as the Empire on which the sun never sets, and witnessed the rise and prosperity of the empire.

Of course, the present also witnessed the decline of the empire.

However, as the crown that the current Queen wears most on important occasions, it still has a very lofty status. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a British national treasure.

Luo Quan said he couldn't understand that such a treasure would be used as a bet.

Can you imagine China taking out the imperial seal as a bet to bet with neighboring countries?

If this thing really happens, no matter how generous the reward is, even if it is 100% possible to win, the person who made the suggestion will definitely be criticized by the majority of netizens.

But that’s what Daying did.

"How dare the queen be willing to part with such a treasure? If she loses, wouldn't it be embarrassing and embarrassing?" Luo Quan, as an outsider, also felt that this was a bit outrageous, so he frowned and asked his grandfather.

The old man sighed: "There is no way. If you don't do this, how can you get the shroud of the Holy See?"

After being reminded by the old man, Luo Quan remembered that there was such a thing. She asked curiously: "Then what is this shroud?"

"It is said that it is for the human incarnation of God and has the magical effect of bringing the dead back to life.

But these are all legends, but it is true that this thing can increase lifespan. It has been tested before.

So the queen wanted to borrow this for use, but it happened that the Ekaterina family in Russia also wanted to use it, but this thing can only take effect once every six months, so the points are ranked in order.

In half a year, many, many things will happen, and neither party dares to gamble.

It just so happened that the Holy See also wanted a crown, so this bet came into being. "

After listening to what grandpa said, Luo Quan finally understood.

If you really want to extend your life, it's really necessary.

Nowadays, various regions in the UK are seemingly inseparable from each other. If the Queen hadn't been suppressing them, they would have been separated long ago.

With the Queen here, Britain can at least maintain its current status and maintain relative stability.

But if her old man is gone, there will definitely be trouble in Northern Ireland, and it will really turn into three families. It will be a lot of fun.

Therefore, if this shroud really has the miraculous effect of prolonging life, then the queen will want to get it and use it once, no matter how much she pays.

What's more, she would have done the same thing if she had only paid for the right to use the crown for one year.

After all, my life is gone, why do I need this decoration? After all, this national treasure belongs to the Queen, and it is up to her to decide how she wants to use it and who she wants to lend it to.

“Actually, this is a bet between these three forces, and winning or losing has nothing to do with us.

However, I don’t know who came up with the idea to make the battle even bigger, and that’s why this gamble that faced the whole of Europe was born.

Of course, what was announced to the outside world was just an ordinary martial arts competition, and the apparent gambling was only related to money and did not involve antiques.

Only those of us who have inside information can participate in gambling on antiques.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I also plan to take out a few antiques to play for fun. "

The old man paused, took a sip of water, and continued: "But letting you come back this time has nothing to do with the bet, I just want to give you these antiques at home.

The new era has arrived, and those who can master Reiki quickly will surely come out on top in the redistribution of resources. With these antiques, the speed at which we can master Reiki will be greatly improved. "

While the old man was speaking, the system gave Luo Quan a prompt:

"This crown and shroud are a good thing."

Luo Quan curled his lips: "Of course I know it's a good thing, I want you to tell me!"

One is a treasure that has been passed down by the world's largest religion for thousands of years. Just by virtue of its function of extending life, releasing it can make countless people lose their heads and blood.

The other one is a symbol of imperial power that has witnessed the rise and fall of the empire on which the sun never sets. Although the quality is not as good as the Imperial Seal, it is not much different.

After all, the Sun Never Sets Empire was still quite high at its peak, with its territory spread all over the world, and it was said that the sun never sets.

Even the current United States only opens military bases all over the world, and the gap can be imagined.

Of course, times have changed, and issues need to be viewed dialectically.

Compared with the Statue of Liberty, this crown is definitely inferior.

But that thing is so big that no one can take it for themselves. Compared with the Declaration of Independence, it may be easier to carry.

But none of these things could be obtained by her, and the British Empire Crown in front of her was actually taken out as a bet.

After thinking for a while, Luo Quan spoke: "Grandpa, are there any requirements for the contestants in this competition?"

"No, anyone can participate."

The old man raised his eyebrows: "My dear granddaughter, do you plan to participate?"

Luo Quan smiled shyly: "Just join in the fun and go practice."

The old man nodded: "This is indeed a good opportunity for experience, but it is also very dangerous."

He knows how good his granddaughter is at fighting, but now that spiritual energy is recovering and people's physical fitness is improving, just because they were able to fight before doesn't mean they can fight now.

Moreover, there are so many experts in this competition that it’s hard to say whether my granddaughter will be able to pass the first round if she participates.

"Don't worry, I still have some confidence in my skills." Luo Quan saw that his mother was hesitant to speak and quickly comforted them.

Fourth Uncle touched his chin: "I think it's still a little unsafe. What if I get hurt?"

"You can let Zart give it a try." The second uncle suggested.

Eric asked curiously: "Who is this Zart?"

"He is a fighting master sent by his family to participate in the competition this time. He has been using the antiques at home to assist his training during this period. He is very strong and is a favorite to enter the top eight."

The old man explained to everyone, and then felt that this proposal was quite good, so he said: "Let Zart come and compete with Luo Quan to see if she can participate in this competition."

Eric looked at Luo Quan: "Daughter, what do you think?"

Luo Quan shrugged: "I can do it, but you have to find a doctor in advance."

The third aunt nodded quickly: "That's right, if you get injured later, it's better to treat him immediately. In addition, you have to say hello to Zart and don't hit our Luo Quan in the face."

Hearing the elders' worries, Luo Quan was touched and amused at the same time.

She said that finding a doctor in advance was not for herself.

After hearing from her grandfather that this Zart was very powerful, she decided to open the eight doors to test his quality.

However, since it is the first time to fight against someone with the eight doors open, it is inevitable that you will exert too much force, so you need to find a doctor in advance.

As for her own injury, since she won the gold medal, mosquitoes can no longer bite her in the summer, and she still doesn't know how to write the word "injured".

Soon, Zart was called.

He was a giant sweater who was just over two meters tall. His whole body was covered in muscles. He stood up like a hill. His aura alone could scare the legs of most people.

However, this Zart looks very powerful, but his speech is quite honest.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Zalt walked to Charles and lowered his body respectfully.

"This is my granddaughter Luo Quan." Charles said to Zalt.

Zart grinned with an honest smile: "Everyone knows your name, little miss. In fact, my sister and I are both your fans."

"I'll sign autographs for you and your sister later." Luo Quan responded with a smile.

Zart showed a look of surprise: "Thank you so much, little miss."

"Let's get down to business first." Charles coughed twice and said:

"My granddaughter wants to participate in this Empire Warriors Competition, but we elders are worried, so we want you to compete with her to see if she can compete with those masters in this competition."

"I'm sparring with the young lady?" Zart looked at Luo Quan in surprise.

He didn't mean to look down upon him, but wouldn't he fall over if he touched someone with such thin arms and legs?

Luo Quan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not as weak as you think."

"Master, do you really want to fight?" Zart confirmed to Charles again.

Charles nodded, then moved his lips covertly: "Take it easy."

"Okay!" Zart understood clearly.

Luo Quan actually saw these little tricks, but he didn't point them out.

Because Zart will soon know how quickly he will lose if he takes his time.

"Little miss, you have to be careful with your fists and feet." Zart and Luo Quan stood in the open space, cupping their fists and holding their hands.

"You know how to do martial arts?" Luo Quan was stunned. She really didn't expect this development.
