At this moment, Duncan thought about all the similar amulets he had used in the past period of time. After thinking for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As far as I can remember, the only two amulets given out as special gifts were the two given to Morris, and the others were just ordinary commodities. After such a long time, no one who bought the amulets came forward to report anything unusual.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Duncan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although the reason for the change in the amulet is still unclear, the news brought by Vanna undoubtedly reminded him, allowing him to have a further understanding and psychological preparation for the "weird phenomena" that might happen around him.
From now on... it seems that I can no longer give gifts to others casually, nor can I promise to do things casually.
Duncan's brief silence also attracted Vanna's attention, and she looked at him curiously: "Did you remember anything?"
"… I've thought carefully about what's happened recently, and nothing seems wrong," Duncan shook his head, speaking calmly and sincerely, "Could it be that Heidi made a mistake?"
"It's unlikely. She is a senior psychiatrist who has a certain understanding of the supernatural field and is very clear about her own mental state," Vanna shook her head. "But the problem with the amulet may indeed lie in other links... Maybe it's just a supernatural item mixed in with ordinary goods, or it may be in the production process..."
Vanna spoke slowly, but it didn't seem like she was explaining to Duncan. Instead, she was hypnotizing and convincing herself.
As an Inquisitor, she should not have been so unprepared for potential paranormal events, but her attention was eventually diverted from the matter of the amulet.
She shook her head, seeming completely confused.
"Maybe it's because of the work pressure," Shirley said casually, getting up from behind the counter. "After all, my boss is coming soon."
"The tea is ready," Pland's voice came from the side. She brought a cup of hot tea and placed it on the counter, pushing it towards Duncan. "Please enjoy it."
"I'll give it to you. It's not worth much anyway. I'm just selling it as a gift," Shirley said with a half-smile. "Or I can make up a product introduction that sounds impressive for you. Do you want a historical relic version or a health care version?"
The gentleman was sitting behind the counter with a friendly smile on his face.
"Oh, sorry, I was distracted," she seemed to wake up suddenly, and suddenly coughed violently a few times, as if she was choked by something. She frowned and glanced at the empty teacup in front of her, then shook her head, "No, I came here just to ask about this matter."
"You finally came out," the young subordinate who stayed in the car said as he slowly started the car, "It's been almost an hour and a half, and I was thinking that if you didn't come out, I would go in..."
A blond man named Shi Caibo was busy by the big stove.
The sounds of traffic on the street in the shop sounded a little far away. The kettle in the shop was making sharp sounds little by little. There seemed to be some creeping and jumping shadows in the corners of the shelves next to it. The stairs leading to the second floor seemed to extend into the infinitely high darkness.
Shi Cai was immediately shocked when he saw this situation - it was the first time he saw someone who could swallow the tea brewed by Pland so calmly. This lady was indeed worthy of being the number one beautiful and brave girl in Alice, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Duncan silently picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth, took a sip, and then chewed it. The boiling hot tea and tea leaves were swallowed into his stomach with an expressionless face.
Duncan nodded slightly and turned away. After a while, Shi Cai finally couldn't help but break the silence when he found that Duncan was just looking around and didn't want to speak. "Apart from the amulet, is there anything else?"
In the antique shop, Vanna was the first to run to the counter. She looked back anxiously at the direction where Duncan had just left, then turned to look at Shirley: "What is this judge doing here? Is he here to arrest me?"
Nina also came over at that time. When he heard Shi Cai's words, he immediately reacted: "My boss... you
Are you talking about the news in the newspaper a while ago? Cathedral of the Storm?"
Shi Cai had lived in the upper city since he was a child. He entered the church for training when he was a minor, and when he became an adult, he took up his sword and joined the battle against heretics. He had never seen anything like this in his twenty-plus years of life, and was a little confused: "Two...two hundred tickets?"
Shirley looked at him with a half-smile: "What?"
Shirley smiled and nodded, her eyes swept over Nina, Vanna and Plande, and suddenly asked, "Are you interested?"
Storm Cathedral is here. "It's the same next time. The store is right here anyway," the young subordinate said casually. Then, he saw the crystal amulet on Vanna's neck through the rearview mirror and was a little surprised. "Is this the new pendant you bought? I'm surprised. You don't usually buy these."
"Let's not talk about this any more. Drive faster and go straight to the port."
As she spoke, she tapped her forehead lightly, feeling as if she had missed something. She couldn't help but mutter, "I left in such a hurry just now, I didn't even say goodbye."
Duncan thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I may need this - but I can't take your things for free."
Shirley wanted to say something when she saw Duncan stand up and pick up the crystal pendant.
"There won't be much business today anyway - most people are either attending mass at church or visiting the port, so they're just sitting around doing nothing," Shirley said as if it was a matter of course. "Let's go take a look. The grand spectacle of the Storm Cathedral docking is not something you can see every year."
"Pendant?" Duncan looked down at his chest in confusion. After two seconds, he spoke with a little hesitation, "Ah, I bought it..."
Duncan looked at the "crystal" amulet in front of him with some surprise, and after a pause he asked, "How much?"
"It was a pleasant meeting," she smiled slowly, and suddenly said with an extremely serious expression and tone, while raising her hand and putting the crystal pendant around her neck, "I look forward to seeing you next time."
The gentle sound of the waves echoed in her mind, bringing waves of comfort and making her gradually forget the purpose of her coming here in the first place.
The entire building seemed to be filled with faint whispering sounds.
Although Pland didn't know what was going on, he also started clapping when he saw Nina so excited. Only Alice looked shocked: "But... But... But this is the Cathedral of Storms! If we go there, we won't..."
She meandered through the store, walked out the door, came to the open space in front of the antique shop, and then stopped here.
Shirley felt that the other party was a little strange for a moment and frowned subconsciously, but in the end she didn't say much, just nodded politely: "Okay, welcome next time." Shirley nodded with satisfaction.
Duncan raised his head and looked around the antique shop silently.
Nina was also helping out in the store. "If you're interested in the amulet, I can sell you one," she said with a smile, pushing the amulet she had just taken forward, "You can go back and study it slowly."
Vanna looked up at Shirley, lowered her head to think for a moment, and shook her head vigorously: "Nothing!"
Duncan was stunned: "You...is this how you sell things here?"
However, in his transcendent perception that spread throughout the entire city-state, he was still unable to sense that an "existence" emitting a majestic aura was gradually approaching.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nina jumped up happily: "Great!"
"For colleagues," Shirley said seriously, "and for young people to give to their lovers..."
Then I raised my head and looked across the street outside the door, across the city, and towards the port.
Suddenly, a horn sounded from the roadside in the distance. As she spoke, she rummaged through her pockets and took out two ten-sola bills and placed them on the counter.
"An hour and a half?" Duncan was a little surprised. "I thought... only twenty minutes had passed."
"Business in good faith," Shirley spread her hands, "If you really want to sell it, this thing
The original price is four sola, plus a set of health care theories for eighteen, plus a historical story for twenty-two, and you have to pay forty-four to get a white walnut box - the box is promised not to fade within six months, and you can also get a seven hundred ticket. "
Duncan blinked, then noticed the car parked on the side of the road, and remembered the arrival of Storm Cathedral today, so he walked over quickly, opened the door and got in.
The girl named Vanna had not returned to the store yet. She was placing things on the shelves while looking over there carefully.
"You think too much." He glanced at the anxious girl with a helpless expression, "I'm here to investigate something else. It has nothing to do with you."
"Interest?" I was stunned for a moment.
After realizing what was happening, he immediately looked shocked, "Wait, are you going to...?"
"The original price is four solas - the rest is to thank you for your cooperation and for the cup of tea just now."
"Oh, as long as you're not here to arrest me," Vanna breathed a sigh of relief, but then couldn't help but mutter, "You seem strange today, and your words are incoherent."
