Chapter 1235 Fort Davis (1/2)

Lu Guan looked very confident as he said, ”I've verified this news. That is the biggest spot for GSP in North America. There were many GSPs held yearly and some people would rent out the warehouse space to place their baggage and telescopes. I feel that there will be good stuff in that warehouse.”

The mention of the telescopes reminded Li Du of the time he played Conrad Anthony with Princeps' help.

At that time, he had bought a big telescope and placed it in a box. It was the bait he had used to get Conrad on the hook. In the end, Conrad had fallen into the trap.

Of course, Lu Guan's information was related to the price of a large astronomical telescope. He was really excited.

Thinking about the past, Li Du started to feel wary and asked carefully, ”Who did you get the news from? Are you sure the information is accurate?”

Lu Guan replied, ”I got the message from the official website. No one has tampered with it, so I don't think there will be any problem.”

Hearing that, Li Du relaxed.

He was only being careful. With the little bug, it was impossible for him to make a mistake. If the Anthonys were planning on using the same trick to take revenge on him, they would definitely fail.

However, Fort Davis was indeed quite a distance from Phoenix. Li Du would feel depressed if it were a hoax. Hence, he wanted to be very careful.

The auction would take place at the beginning of February. In Phoenix, spring would have arrived by that time and they might even have started preparing for summer. The weather was starting to get warmer.

It was no wonder that Luo Qun had been so anxious. To her, it would seem like it was already spring. However, in Siberia and its surrounding regions, it was still the middle of winter.

Before he left for the auction at Fort Davis, Li Du gave Steve a call and asked him about his arrangements for their trip to the Arctic.

The trip to the North Pole through Siberia would be considered as a favor transacted between them.

Steve had great confidence in Li Du, who would be accompanying him to the Arctic. He felt that Li Du had great skills and was lucky.

Steve would accompany Li Du and his group to Siberia first, where his connections and resources would be helpful to Li Du.

After receiving the call, Steve told Li Du that his team had started making plans for their journey. However, it would be best for them not to set off before March.

In reality, even in March many places in Siberia would be frozen and snowed in.

After learning the background to prepare himself, Li Du could relax and bring his troop towards Fort Davis. They would have to keep traveling southeast from Phoenix.

In 1854, the United States established a border fort in the southwest corner of Texas to ensure the safety of the trade route between San Antonio, the eastern city, and El Paso, the westernmost point. The route was 540 miles long and there were a lot of mail wagons, caravans, and immigrants on the road.

Later, when the Civil War broke out, the fort was destroyed. After the end of the war, the soldiers rebuilt the wall outside the fort with limestone and mud and restored the building.

Later, Fort Davis had become a small town. The fort that was originally used for military purposes has become a national historic site.

There were only eleven warehouses were up for auction this time around. Li Du estimated that there would not be many valuable items. Hence, he did not gather many treasure hunters and only brought a few of those who had been with him in Flagstaff.

The six trucks formed an entourage with Li Du leading the way in his showy Rolls-Royce. The procession of cars started towards the southeast.

The journey was long, and it was Li Du's first time bringing such a troop through three states before arriving at his destination.
