Chapter 359: Chapter 358 Mr. Karen’s Diary (3/5) Chapter 359: Chapter 358 Mr. Karen’s Diary (3/5) “Ouch~”

The deer, seeing Shao Zifeng’s face change from sunny to cloudy, quickly bit his sleeve and tugged.

Shao Zifeng snapped back to reality and looked at the deer, smiling apologetically at its worried gaze.

Something’s not right.

If he had traveled through time, surely he couldn’t have brought the snowmobile and Ma Zhiliang with him.

After re-sheathing the short sword and setting it aside, Shao Zifeng was just about to pick up the notebook when he paused and grabbed the purse instead.

He decided to start with the purse for clues, after all, the notebook was quite thick.

Opening the purse, he poured out two Gold Coins and a Ruby ring.

The Ruby ring looked majestic and opulent, but it was devoid of any color properties, so Shao Zifeng picked up the Gold Coins instead.

On the face of the Gold Coin was the bust of a woman wearing a crown, surrounded by the inscription ‘Queen Anne’. The reverse side featured a crest with a sword and shield, with the year 1705 engraved at the bottom.

Wait a second.

1705!?

Looking at that year, Shao Zifeng was utterly baffled.

If he remembered correctly, the first time humans landed on the Antarctic was supposed to be in 1911.

Yet, how could there be a 15th-century short sword and 18th-century Gold Coins that were no longer in circulation in the 20th century here?

Shao Zifeng’s mind was a mess, struggling to accept the possibility that people from the early 18th century could have landed on the Antarctic.

What’s more, this place was Ross Bay, not George Island outside the Antarctic Circle.

Even with 21st-century technology, landing on the Antarctic was risky; how did people from the 18th century manage to arrive here?

Shao Zifeng hurriedly picked up the old notebook and unfastened the thread binding it.

Just by looking at the first page, Shao Zifeng’s eyes widened. The dim yellow title page was clearly inscribed with the year 1693 and the phrase ‘presented to someone of the Karen family’ written in fountain pen.

“Perhaps descendants brought the notebook to the Antarctic.” Shao Zifeng consoled himself as he turned to the last page with written records, the date fixed on 1713.

No date, or rather, the diary’s owner no longer knew the date.

Shao Zifeng stared at the notebook, lost in thought, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh.

Flipping back to the first page, Shao Zifeng prepared to seek clues from the diary.

Star-like particles of light emitted a faint glow as Shao Zifeng held the notebook in both hands, quietly reading.

The deer looked at him for a while, then closed its eyes again.

After a while, Shao Zifeng rubbed his long hair with a slight headache.

To be honest.

He didn’t quite understand this part.

Having been a poor student in the last timeline, he barely passed Level 4, but the diary from hundreds of years ago was filled with a vast array of archaic English vocabulary and slang. Moreover, the author of the diary was in his adolescence during this time, using words and sentences that were disjointed, which made reading a real headache for him.

Eventually, Shao Zifeng simply skipped the beginning and flipped to a spot he could roughly make sense of.

“July 1705, praise be to God, under the great leadership of Queen Anne, the mighty imperial navy triumphed over the cursed XXX’s forces. Forgive a nobleman for using such language, I’m simply overjoyed.”

“September 1705, Oh God, this is the first time I’ve seen such wealth and slaves. Over a hundred carriages laden with Gold Coins and treasures cracked the flagstones of Regent Street, the cursed sweet-smelling Gold Coins rolling off the carts and chiming clearly.

The Queen said these fallen Gold Coins were blessings the empire bestowed upon the people. Praise the Queen, I wish to be blessed too… but as a nobleman I must maintain the damned decorum. Those filthy swine…they seemed as if they had never seen Gold Coins before, so greedy.”

“November 1705, Sir Charson’s mistress is not bad at all, just that the lard smell in her hair is nauseating. After a good night last evening, the generous Mr. Karen decided to bestow upon her two blessings… damn it, they’re Gold Coins.”

“November 1705, Sir Charson’s daughter is quite something as well, God, she’s but sixteen years old. Waking up, Miss Charson left me five blessings… damn woman, does she really think Mr. Karen is XX? For your father’s sake I…”

“November 1705, Sir Charson says he has taken a fancy to me… such a disgusting fellow, Mr. Karen would rather die, even die atop his daughter, than ever let that balding old man get his way.”

Shao Zifeng grimaced darkly; this guy was planning to sleep with Sir Charson’s entire family, wasn’t he?

Quickly flipping through a few pages, he finally found something that wasn’t related to the Charson family.

“March 1706, the brave imperial forces triumphed once more, and various previously unseen precious treasures and Gold Coins were continuously brought into Buckingham Palace. While no one was looking, I picked up a Queen’s blessing from the cracks between the flagstones… oh God, Jack has gone mad, he’s planning to set sail in search of gemstones for the Queen.”

“May 1706, Jack is back, bringing with him several slaves and a whole chest of gemstones, which has caused quite a stir in the nobility circles. Jack has really showed off this time… It’s said that Sir Charson’s mistress visited Jack yesterday… this woman with her greasy hair, am I, Mr. Karen, truly inferior to a chest of gemstones?”

“May 1706, Sir Charson’s daughter went to see Jack…”

Again with this Charson family–are they specialized in this or what?

Shao Zifeng rubbed his sore eyes speechlessly and paused his reading for a moment.

Although this heir of the Karen family seemed rather boring, it indirectly revealed how the British Empire had amassed incredible wealth from numerous invasions and wars, with some nobles unable to resist the temptation to go to sea and plunder.

This information seemed insubstantial, but it allowed Shao Zifeng to put his mind at ease for the time being.

Because if… if he truly travelled to a third parallel world, then Shao Zifeng would be at a loss for words.

Skipping past the descriptions of the chaotic lives within the nobility circle, Shao Zifeng turned directly to the page where Mr. Karen decided to set sail.

“July 1711, more and more people are returning to the empire with overseas gold, silver, and jewels as well as slaves, saying I dare not venture to sea. I swear upon ‘the glory of the Karen family,’ bestowed by God, that I shall return to the empire with an immense amount of gold, silver, and gemstones, and then offer them personally to the beautiful Queen, in exchange for the honor of kissing her toes.”

“November 1711, my ‘Karen family’ sailboat is ready at the dock. Yesterday, I finally accepted Sir Charson’s invitation, at the price of one ‘Vigo’ Gold Coin from Her Majesty the Queen. Praise the Queen, for this war commemorative Gold Coin limited to 20 pieces, I am willing to do anything.”

Limited to 20 pieces?

Shao Zifeng looked in surprise at the Gold Coin he had casually thrown on the ground; he hadn’t expected this blessing…

Spit, this Gold Coin to actually be a limited edition.

Lingling would surely like it.

Shao Zifeng picked up the Gold Coin to compare.

Hmm…

He couldn’t even tell which one was the limited edition that Mr. Karen had paid a great price for.
