Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 28 National Treasures and Pranks
When Lin You returned to heaven, he received full of praise from God.

To add a casual note, if we move the timeline of the real Flint in the Treasure Island story forward a few years, the Flint who appeared out of nowhere in the big world would become a swindler and a fake who changed his name in order to get treasure.

In this way, the two identical treasure maps have an explanation: the fake Flint was so determined to find the treasure that he even changed his name, so it was not surprising that he had a map in his hand. Perhaps it was because he got the treasure map that he wanted to change his name?

Wouldn't the logic that was disrupted by the man behind the scenes become more logical?
No wonder there have been so many people who have tampered with history since ancient times. It is true that anyone with a pen can do it. If a word or two is added or deleted in a key place, the meaning will change completely.

In his previous life, Lin You had seen too many cases of little girls dressing up arbitrarily in the real dimension. Especially in the Internet age after he grew up, the situation became more and more serious, and anyone could be said to be ridiculous.

In the real dimension, nonsense will eventually be exposed, but in the virtual dimension, random alterations made with a quill pen will directly become real history.

Back to the topic, the most difficult Treasure Island story has been properly handled, and the remaining National Treasure series story is not difficult at all.

Whether this movie series is a good box office is one thing. Judging from the world view alone, minor flaws may be inevitable - for example, the hacking ability of the four-eyed assistant is too exaggerated - but there are no logical contradictions that are enough to shake the foundation of the story. Even without Lin You's intervention, the integration process can be completed smoothly.

It can be said to be a truly "harmless" world.

Although the plot is very imaginative, the development of the story is very smooth, and the script editor really put a lot of effort into it.

Under Lin You's supervision, the two worlds merged smoothly.

Then, he followed the plot of the movie and found his way into the treasure house. For a mortal, there were traps and traps that were full of dangers, but for a wizard, it was easy to walk on flat ground.

The only unfriendly thing may be the polluted air caused by lack of ventilation for one or two hundred years.

The treasures of the Knights Templar filled the underground space. Although the visual impact of this underground treasure house was not as good as the previous 240 tons of gold due to insufficient light, in terms of actual value, this batch of treasures was much higher than just 200 tons of gold.

In the industrial age, gold was just a precious metal and industrial material; but the treasures before us embody two thousand years of history of the Western world.

The oldest antiques here can be traced back to the time of King Solomon; and then to ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and even the North American colonial period.

From a horizontal comparison, it also covers ancient Jewish civilization, ancient Roman civilization, medieval Christian civilization, Arab civilization and even a small part of Indian civilization.

In terms of cultural value, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "priceless treasure"; if one is really so greedy that one cannot hide the smell of money, and has to send these bottles and jars and "shiny things" to an auction house to be sold by the pound, the value would be tens of billions - that is, US dollars; and this was tens of billions in 1991, so their value will become more and more valuable in the future.

Lin You put in a lot of effort, and the space expansion spell and reinforcement spell alone consumed a small half of his magic power; he finally managed to get most of the treasure into his own cellar.

The remaining parts that were not taken away were mostly Indian artifacts and precious metal reserves from the former Thirteen Colonies; these things were either not worth much or had specific owners, and if they were exposed in his hands, it would only cause trouble.

After getting all the things, Lin You suddenly had an idea. He first dug out a WM-SXF1991 tape Walkman, which was newly produced in 30, from his own manor, and then ran to find a cassette player that could record.

The best thing about living in the Muggle world is that you can keep up with the latest electronic devices. "If you followed the clues behind the Declaration of Independence to find this place, then congratulations, you have successfully discovered the largest and most mysterious treasure since the founding of the United States; but at the same time, you may also be wondering why this place looks empty, as if something is missing?"

"Yes, your guess is correct. Someone got there before you."

"Perhaps you will wonder where the clue to my treasure comes from. Isn't there only one original copy of the Declaration of Independence? Then I can tell you a secret you never knew."

The tape was spinning in the deck, recording Lin You's voice faithfully.

"You should already know that this treasure was originally prepared as funds for the War of Independence. They were buried underground as a preventive and protective measure against the bad consequences that the war might face."

"But since it is a fund, it must be spent somewhere in the future. Gold and jewelry cannot directly destroy the British colonists. The Continental Army must find a supplier willing to provide arms and war materials."

"Looking around the world, only France has the ability and willingness to play this role."

"In order to prove to the honorable King Louis XVI the ability of the Thirteen States Congress to pay, General Washington, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, personally took General Lafayette to visit the treasure; and General Lafayette also took away information about the hidden location of the treasure."

"Although the French Revolution caused the loss of these documents for many years, fortunately, they were finally rediscovered by chance."

After recording the long passages that were enough to cause diplomatic disputes between France and the United States, Lin You jokingly put the tapes into his Walkman and solemnly placed it in the center of the underground treasure house in New York.

"Dr. Gates, it's time to demonstrate your authority in history and archaeology." The eight-year-old boy carefully wiped off the fingerprints inside and outside the Walkman, and even erased the product serial number with magic, leaving only the smirk of a successful prank echoing in this underground space.

Lin You made up his mind that when the timeline of the big world progressed to the point where Gates and his son discovered the treasure, he would definitely go to the scene to see with his own eyes the expressions of the protagonists when they discovered the Walkman.

As a result, he had just returned to Forrest Manor and had not yet found his feet when he was called by God again.

A handsome and dignified middle-aged man with a golden headband decorated with golden eagle tail feathers was waiting for him here.

"Amon?" Lin You greeted him, curious about the purpose of this ancient Egyptian supreme god's visit. As the two sides of the sun god Ra, he usually represented the ancient Egyptian gods in participating in the Great World Plan.

After all, he was the only one among the ancient Egyptian gods who had enough leisure time; because his main power as the god of the sun could be shared by Ra.

"Let me explain." God took the initiative to speak, "Just now, the ancient Egyptian pantheon proposed a temporary motion to integrate the story of "The Mummy" into the big world ahead of time."

When Lin You heard the word "in advance", he felt a little uneasy. It should be a reaction to post-traumatic stress disorder; mainly because the experience in the Saint Seiya story was too impressive.

"What happened again?"
