Chapter 0497 The Adventures of Tintin (86)
Let me first take a look. Guan Heng took the pieced parchment from the professor's hand. He just scanned it quickly for a few times, and then suddenly shouted in shock: "Oh my God, Ding Ding, come here and take a look."
Good guy, this content is really amazing. Guan Heng handed the thing to his friend casually. He then looked surprised and said to Calculus: Professor, your perseverance and wisdom really shocked me again.
Oh, my dear friend, this is just a trivial matter. Calculus still had a leisurely attitude, and he said lightly: Any careful person can put these things together in just a few days and nights.
Ah, after reading the contents on the parchment, Tintin was already dumbfounded. He turned to the hungover Captain Haddock and murmured: My captain, now your dream of sleeping on the Golden Mountain is really true.
It might come true
Ah Heng, what is written on it? Qin'er asked curiously.
Uh, how should I say it? Guan Heng thought about the wording, and he smiled and said to Qin'er: This letter is an ancient grant certificate, signed by Charles II himself.
Ding Ding, don’t just look at yourself. The captain was already dumbfounded. Qin’er is also waiting for answers. Guan Heng clapped his hands to his friends and said with a smile: Come on, read it again for everyone.
Okay, let me read it.
Tintin looked at the pieced together ancient letter, raised his head and read loudly: Charles II, in the name of the King of England, would like to grant our trustworthy and beloved Sir Francis Haddock a rich land. All the Haddock family
All the descendants of the Haddock family will be honored to live, grow old, sick and die here. This fiefdom will be named Marlinspike Hall in the name of the king. It will forever belong to every head of the Haddock family, praising the king's generosity.
Bang, the cup in Captain Haddock's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Oh my god, this letter says that Marlinspike Hall is my family property. The captain looked surprised and murmured to himself: Well, this news, how can I say it? It’s wonderful.
By the way, Ding Ding, Guan Heng, you haven't read yesterday's news report yet. The captain suddenly woke up. He stood up and ran into the bedroom. Then he rushed out with a newspaper: Look at the news here, it must be
surprise you
Bring it to me to read. Guan Heng grabbed the newspaper from the other party's hand and started reading: The latest news is that James Auction House will auction a property called Marlinspike Hall on the 9th of this month.
Guan Heng slowly raised his head and said to everyone with a wry smile: The ancestral property of the captain's family is going to be auctioned.
Alas, alas, what should we do now? At this moment, Captain Haddock was so anxious that he almost went to the room. He started pacing back and forth in the room, mumbling incessantly: The legacy of the ancestors, alas, it’s over.
It’s over, now I’m going to catch them all blind
Captain, Marlinspike Hall is the property of your ancestors. You cannot let it fall into the hands of others. Guan Heng and Ding Ding said at the same time: You must first redeem the property here.
Oh, you two little ancestors, what you said is so light. Captain Haddock frowned and murmured: What can I give to redeem the air?
You guys should know this clearly before you said bitterly to the captain: In order to rent the Sirius trawler and go out to sea to search for the sunken Unicorn, I have put all the coffins I have accumulated for many years on it.
Taking a step back, even if I still have a lot of my savings, I still can't afford to buy Marlinspike Hall brick by brick. Captain Haddock waved his arms exaggeratedly and said: You know it is a building.
A mansion with a private garden. Even if I wandered at sea for three lifetimes and worked hard to save money, I still wouldn't be able to buy it.
Guan Hengqin'er and Ding Ding looked at each other. When it comes to money, they can be said to be very poor. Although they can't be said to be rich, it is still a daydream to collect a huge amount of money in a short time.
The money matter was really difficult to solve. Ding Ding slumped down on his chair and began to think silently.
Oh, damn, if we get that shipwreck treasure, ten Marlinspike Halls can also redeem it. Captain Haddock was so anxious that he punched the table with his fist, and he said angrily: Well, now I have to watch.
Let one's ancestral property fall into the hands of others
Ah Heng, is there nothing you can do? Qin'er tugged on her boyfriend's sleeve and asked quietly.
Well, everyone, I plan to express my opinion before Guan Heng comes up with an idea.
Professor Calculus stood up at this moment and spoke slowly: Gentlemen, are you short of money? I have an idea.
Well, the Bureau of Ocean Exploration and several other departments took a fancy to my Shark submarine, as well as several other inventions. The professor smiled slightly and said: They have completely mastered the operation of the machine through the records made on my ship.
I want to thank you for driving the submarine into the deep sea and providing a good experiment in its actual operation.
After all, it was the state-owned assets department. They very generously promised to pay in cash, and the price they offered was not low. The professor then said to everyone: Although I was a little hesitant about this before, since you lack the funds to redeem your ancestral property, I decided to transfer the submarine patent to
Transfer and sale to solve your urgent needs
This is out of the captain's deep friendship for me and your small reward for helping me test the submarine. The professor walked to the coat rack and dressed up, then waved to everyone: "Let's go, let's get the patent fee back first, and then
Go to James Auction House and get the captain's ancestral property.
Oh, great! Long live the professor. Tintin and the captain cheered. Guan Heng and Qin'er also looked at each other and smiled, very happy for them.
Just when everyone was about to go out, they heard the sound of footsteps going upstairs suddenly, and Dupont Dupont hurriedly broke in: Everyone, I have some bad news to report.
What's going on? Dupont brother Guan Heng saw the two of them running and sweating profusely, and asked strangely: Is there another strange incident?
Uh-huh water, give me a glass of water first. Du Pang leaned on one side and held on to the door frame and said: Oh my god, I ran away and lost half my life in order to inform you of the news as soon as possible.
