The 36 art galleries of varying sizes display handicrafts and natural history specimens from around the world.
The exhibition rooms are arranged chronologically from bottom to top, guiding visitors to explore the entire process from the origins of Scotland to the 20th century. The main themes include early humans, the Kingdom of Scotland, the Industrial Age, Scotland in Transformation, and the Scottish Movement.
Finally, from the terrace on the 6th floor, you can overlook the entire city of Edinburgh today.
Li Yao thought to herself, "You took our treasures, so I'll gladly accept these precious items from you." So she quickly collected the two museum items and continued on her way, leaving behind a bunch of bewildered tourists.
The Royal Armory Museum of the Eagle Nation houses the famous Yongle Sword. It's somewhat ironic that the sword of a Chinese emperor has become the crown jewel of a Western museum. After quickly acquiring the entire museum, Li Yao began collecting other items.
LD Natural History Museum, National Gallery of the Eagles, Victoria and Albert Museum, LD Science Museum, etc.
Li Yao didn't stop; she took all these museums, leaving not a single brick behind.
After the museum, Li Yao set her sights on Buckingham Palace. Yes, that's right, the Queen's castle. If you're looking for a place with lots of treasures, Buckingham Palace is definitely one of them.
The palace was built in 1703 on a plot of land in Westminster for the Duke of Buckingham. In 1761, King George III purchased the property as a residence for Queen Charlotte.
In 1837, it became the official royal residence after Queen Victoria ascended the throne. Since then, it has been the principal residence of the British monarchs.
The palace is relatively large, consisting of 775 separate rooms, including 19 special rooms, numerous bedrooms and offices, and a total of 78 bathrooms.
The palace houses the jewels and treasures of successive royal families. These jewels include numerous diamonds, various crowns, brooches, necklaces, earrings, a diamond-encrusted sword used by Edward VII upon his accession to the throne, and a scepter. It also contains royal collections and gifts from diplomatic missions.
Li Yao certainly wouldn't let it go, so she took it all, including its large lawn, vegetation, shrubs, and small fountain.
At the same time, Li Yao also targeted Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
The castle is located in Royal Deside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, near the Swiss town of Kleine.
The Eagle Kingdom has resided here since Prince Albert purchased the residence for his wife, Queen Victoria, in 1852. The property is private royal property and is not part of the Royal Estates.
This private residence naturally includes many of the Queen's personal jewels and collections. The British royal family has many rules, so these residences contain a variety of jewels and crowns needed for different periods and occasions.
After visiting the Queen's private residence, Li Yao went to Clarence House and St. James's Palace in Westminster, which were the residences of Prince William and his brother Prince Harry when they were young.
The house was originally built in 1827 for the Duke of Clarence, who became King William IV in 1830.
Although these royal residences are open to the public regularly, Li Yao only stays there because of the jewelry and antiques, and doesn't care about them; she simply collects them all.
Of course, there's also Kensington Palace for William and Kate, Frogmore Cottage at Frogmore Estate for Harry and Meghan, and Gatescombe Park for Anne and Timothy.
Prince Andrew's Royal Cottage in Windsor Great Park, Eugenie and Jack's Ivy Cottage at Kensington Palace, and Butcher Park in Surrey—Li Yao didn't miss any of these royal residences.
Looking at the park and castle in the space, Li Yao seemed to be experiencing the same thrill that an emperor felt when confiscating property in ancient times.
After Li Yao finished collecting the museum and the royal residence, the Great Eagle Kingdom, viewed from above, resembled a scarred head, missing pieces here and there. The royal family members would probably get high blood pressure just looking at it.
Despite seeing the police and Royal Guards of the Great Eagle Army rushing around on the surveillance footage, and the crowd panicking and filming, Li Yao leisurely sat on the sofa and poured herself a glass of iced calamansi.
Anyway, these people can't catch her, they can't kill her and they can't catch her.
Li Yao took out the Yongle Sword from her spatial storage. This sword was made in 1420 and was a gift from the Yongle Emperor to a Living Buddha in Tibet. The animal on the hilt was the Buddhist auspicious beast "Qiong".
The sword has a spine down the middle to increase its strength, giving it a simple yet classic look. The scabbard features an interlocking pattern and a relief carving.
This sword has Mongol, Persian, and Sasanian styles, which are different from the traditional sword styles since the Song Dynasty; the Wanli sword unearthed from Dingling also has a strong Western style, with the entire sword's exterior made of iron inlaid with gold and well preserved.
The handle is three-lobed, with both sides outlined by inlaid gold scroll patterns.
The front panel is carved with a three-clawed golden dragon surrounded by flames, while the back panel is carved with a pattern of the Tibetan Buddhist mythical beast "Qiong," whose head is topped with a sun and a crescent moon.
Each piece is finished with inlaid gold and silver, and features human arms surrounded by flame patterns. The sides of the handle are inlaid with the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism, also known as the "Eight Treasures," which are the Dharma wheel, conch shell, parasol, canopy, lotus, vase, goldfish, and long plate.
The hilt is made entirely of iron and finished with inlaid gold. Tiny circular decorations (caviar-like texture) are stamped onto the grip, mimicking the grain of shark skin. A straight decorative band runs along the front of the grip, flanked by flame patterns parallel to its sides. The grip itself has a convex rectangular cross-section.
The handguard is identical to the design on the back of the pommel, also depicting the "Qiong" figure, with a gold-plated sun and a silver-plated crescent moon on its head, surrounded by curly mane.
Its face is engraved with tiny circular decorations, seemingly imitating the rough skin of a mythical beast; its eyebrows and beard are vividly depicted and decorated with gold inlay; its horns are shaped like crab claws and are inlaid with silver; and the beast's arms on both sides of its mouth are anthropomorphized to resemble human arms.
The back of the gauntlets focuses on depicting the lower jaw of the mythical beast, showcasing its silver fangs and sparse whiskers. The throat is vividly rendered using alternating layers of gold and silver.
The Yongle sword's blade is forged and folded from steel of different materials, with exquisitely detailed and vivid patterns. It is four-sided ground, with a straight ridge and double-edged blade. It was forged in the Tibetan region, but its production date may be slightly later than the outer casing. The hilt has a rectangular cross-section that gradually narrows, and after passing through the hilt, it is fixed to the pommel by a rivet.
The outer casing is made of wood, covered with dark leather, and finally sealed with iron-inlaid gold fittings, a style known as "Quzha," which is quite popular among high-grade Tibetan knives, but none are as exquisite as the Yongle sword. The scabbard opening has a V-shaped design, allowing the guard to fit snugly into the sheath when the sword is sheathed. Remnants of dark red silk remain nearby, indicating that there was originally an inner lining, which was later worn away. (The above content is from the internet.)
