Chapter 77 Inheritance and Inheritance

"Dongdong"

There was a burst of rapid footsteps coming from the corridor behind him. Arthur, who was smiling, looked back at the butler Paul who was walking quickly and Emilia with excitement, and smiled and said, "Paul, I seem to have discovered something. Haha."

As he said that, he placed the metal detector on the wall again, and a "beep" prompt sounded, causing Paul, who was originally a little suspicious, to express a surprised expression.

Paul did not expect that the young Count had really found something. He seemed to see his own Count scanning the castle with a metal detector, digging the entire manor with a terrible scene. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chill, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "Congratulations, lord."

"Haha, don't rush to congratulate me, let's see what's in it..."

Hearing that Arthur wanted to tear down the wall, the housekeeper Paul hurriedly said, "If it is really a treasure, it should be left by your ancestors. It should be a secret lattice and will never be stuck in the cracks of the wall. This is not in common sense."

As he said that, the housekeeper Paul walked to the wall, reached out to knock, looked left and right, and said to Arthur: "Lord, this should be near the load-bearing wall between the studio and the smoking room, which ruled out the possibility of a mezzanine inside the wall, and there should be a secret lattice."

"Haha, is that right? Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and find the secret wall!" Arthur really wanted to find a hammer to smash the wall, but when he heard the butler Paul's very reasonable words, he temporarily suppressed this idea.

"Click"

The housekeeper Paul opened the door of the smoking room. Since the smoking room was no longer in need of fire, the place was not as smoky as imagined, but had long been changed to a famous painting collection room that was eye-catching.

But to be honest, Arthur did not know very well about the so-called famous paintings hanging on the wall, and he didn't know how much it was worth. He had never heard of European painters such as Dutch painter Janvinix, but it is certain that all the things in it are genuine. After all, the accumulation and inheritance of time is not new in front of this castle.

Time is the thing that caught people the most unexpected. The paintings of painters who were not famous back then may now be famous paintings by famous artists. However, these paintings are an orderly collection of family heritage, so he can't make any mistakes in making them casually.

"Lord, if there is no guess, it should be the wall behind this cabinet." The butler Paul stood at the door, compared it, and walked to a cabinet in the corner and said.

"Come on, let's move it away!"

Without saying a word, Arthur walked forward and carefully moved the one-person-high cabinet away from the corner with the butler Paul, revealing the green patterned wallpaper behind him. Arthur picked up the metal detector and monitored it again.

"Ding ding ding"

"Pai Pa"

"That's right, it's here. Listen, it's empty." Arthur reached out and patted. Hearing the sound, his eyes emitted a bright light, and he said with some excitement.

"But what to do with this wallpaper? These are all Victorian wallpapers, which have been around for more than a hundred years." The butler Paul said reluctantly with a look of confusion.

"Haha, I think the many heirs, including my father, did not find the secrets in it because of these precious wallpapers. Maybe someone knows it, but he can't bear to destroy it and chooses to ignore it."

Arthur analyzed with a smile, then reached out to take a paper cutter and cut a hole without hesitation. He followed the hole with his fingers and untied the wallpaper on both sides, revealing the white wall under the wallpaper.

"Haha, it's really a secret space!"

A gap on the white wall made Arthur laugh happily, and Paul, the housekeeper who felt sorry for the cut wallpaper, felt much better. Emilia, who had not spoken, had her beautiful eyes flashed with bright colors. Seeing Arthur trying to destroy the wallpaper, he hurriedly stopped him: "Dear, just open a skylight for the wallpaper along the gap, there is no need to destroy it like this."

"Okay, okay, I'm a little excited." Arthur did not continue to destroy it rudely. He used it to split up and down along the gap, and then split left and right along the gap. A white dark grid appeared in front of the three of them, which was more than 40 cm long and more than 20 cm high.

"Lord, you back and let me do it..."

Seeing Arthur excitedly using a paper cutter to try to pry open the secret wall, the housekeeper Paul hurriedly reached out to stop it, took the paper cutter, took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and then used the paper cutter to pry the secret wall hard.

Arthur and Emilia both stared at each other until the "bang!" sounded, and the wooden door that was secretly tightly clamped was pried open. The three of them showed excitement, curious and extremely expectant expressions on their faces.

Paul, the butler who covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, reached out to open the wooden door. A moldy smell and dust of wood products floated away. The three of them covered their mouth and nose with their handkerchiefs, fanned the dust with their hands, and stared at the things in the dark square with their eyes brightly.

"Good guy, there are so many things!" Arthur exclaimed with his eyes lit up.

Paul reached out and took out the hidden objects one by one. Each time he took out, Arthur and the other were very excited. There were thirteen small antiques, including carefully carved tobacco leaf boxes, jewelry boxes with statues of goddesses, exquisite gold jewelry and three ancient Egyptian gold coins.

"These are Egyptian antiques." Arthur picked up a small gold medal with gold hollowing out, and the image of a very Egyptian character was distinguishable at a glance.

"If it is a treasure of Egypt, they should be from your great-great-grandfather, Major Julian, the 26th Earl of Boling, who had been stationed in Egypt for two years. He died of typhoid fever at the age of fifty-seven.

Unexpectedly, he left behind so many treasures, they lie quietly in this unknown corner, and stayed for more than a hundred years. Unexpectedly, today we finally saw the light of day again. Congratulations, lord, you have added new members to the inheritance and collection of the Bolin family!"

The housekeeper Paul looked at the exquisitely carved tobacco leaf box in his hand, and immediately made a judgment like a few things, and congratulated Arthur with great satisfaction.

Arthur naturally heard the subtext in the words of the butler Paul, because he was afraid that he would take it out for auction again.

"Paul, look at these things, do you know what I'm thinking?"

The housekeeper Paul was slightly stunned, looked at the smiling young count and asked curiously: "What are their worth?"

"No." Arthur shook his head and denied with a smile, "Seeing them makes me believe more here..." As he said that, he stamped his feet and continued with a bright smile: "There must be no treasures found in Bolin Manor, I firmly believe!"

Emilia, who was holding a cobra hovering golden ring, couldn't let go of her eyes and watched her when she heard Arthur's words, raised her head, her eyes flashed, and looked at Arthur and the contemplative housekeeper Paul, and sighed in her heart about the family background of the nobles.

It is said that the British aristocrats are gradually declining. Except for a few nobles and rich people, most of the aristocratic classes have faded out of people's sight. However, if we really want to talk about the background and inheritance, it is impossible for other classes to imagine or understand.
