On the wall of the corridor that is separated from the dining room, the genealogy of the Augustus family is written on the wall with a special dye. Jenkins had heard of the item in the Viscount's last flashbacks, and it had been brought up by his father and grandfather.
Touching the wall with his hand, starting from the first prominent name on the left side of the corridor, and then to the last familiar name, there are no witnesses for all of this.
After expressing some boring emotions, the man and the cat continued to wander aimlessly, and Jenkins kept the [Eye of Reality] always open.
After coming out of the cellar where the food was stored, he remembered that there was an underground library in the manor, where the rubbings of the [Devil's Document] were found.
The underground library is directly below the hall of the manor, and the entrance is in a guest room. Since the construction time is too long, the mechanism does not use steam equipment, but a relatively primitive gear structure.
The size of the library is not too big. After summoning the starlight ball to illuminate it, you can see everything at a glance by standing on the downward stone steps. At the same time, something was seen that was shining with a yellow aura in the wall.
"Are you saying I should take it?"
He turned to ask the cat standing by the entrance looking down.
"Meow~"
It's a pity that Jenkins can't understand cat language.
He thought about it, and thought that doing so would not harm anyone's interests, and if the next owner here was just an ordinary person, it might cause him some trouble, so he no longer hesitated.
From the intensity of the aura, it can be seen that it is behind the wall. Use the flame to heat first, then use the Frost Fist to cool down, concentrate on drawing a chisel in the air with chanting, and tap on the wall quickly, and soon found that there is actually a small chisel in the wall behind the bookshelf. square space.
He reached out his hand on tiptoe and groped on the inner wall of the square. After a few minutes, he took out two necklaces, three tiaras, one bracelet, seven or eight rings, a dozen gold coins of different styles, and four bracelets.
These were individually packaged in beautiful velvet cases and wrapped in waterproof tarpaulins so that they would remain pristine even after many years.
These are antiques, the kind of troublesome accessories worn by ancient nobles to show their status. Jenkins' target was one of the gold necklaces, a rare black gemstone set in a honeycomb-shaped silver case.
There are some letters engraved on the outer ring of the silver shell, but the light at this time is really hard to see. Draw some more blue ink to soak it, and rub the letters with the paper you have with you.
Under the silver light are some slender ancient characters, which themselves have extremely obvious characteristics of the tenth era. It is a pity that this text has been lost, and no one can translate it.
Tuck those velvet-lined boxes into your own pockets, then dab on the gaps in the walls, perfectly filling the gaps with the painted parts. He felt less burdened to take the items because the estate was legally unowned until it was sealed off by the auction house on Sunday.
(Chocolate yawning... )
jingle~
The bell rang, and Jenkins, who had paid his fare, pushed open the door of Papa's antique shop.
"Didn't you say you don't want to come? You should make more preparations for the next trip."
Dad, wearing a pair of glasses and holding a pencil, was reading some papers in a rocking chair in front of the fireplace. This was the first edition of Frozen, and Jenkins needed some suggestions from readers.
"The luggage is almost packed, there are other things."
He took off his hat and threw it on the counter, then put the chocolate on the rug in front of the fireplace, then glanced nervously at the door, and then began to take something out of his pocket.
"Why do you look like a thief... Oh, God, you robbed a jewelry store?"
I'm joking, of course, Jenkins, who only recently inherited an inheritance, would only do those things if he was crazy.
The old man temporarily put down the novel in his hand, took out his monocle, and leaned on the counter to start the appraisal. These things are genuine, that's for sure, but their dating back to the 16th century really startled Jenkins.
No matter how much gold and silver jewelry is treasured, it is difficult to remain as shiny as new after thousands of years. Therefore, no matter how poor the old aristocrats are, unless they are about to starve to death, they will seldom sell the jewelry handed down by the family . This is the only place where they can laugh at the "lucky ones" who got rich overnight, which is the real historical background.
"Are you short of money now?"
Dad asked an irrelevant question.
"There is no shortage of money."
The profit from selling illegal drugs is enough to support the inheritance.
"Then collect it yourself. It's hard to find such antiques on the market. It's the most correct way to keep them in your hands until they are passed on to the next generation. Besides, you also need a set when you get married... Okay, okay, I Don't talk about it, don't make that face, and don't let your cats scratch my rugs again. Now tell me, how did they get here? Why does fate always favor you like this ?”
There is no need to hide this matter, just tell the truth. At the same time, Jenkins also took out the black gemstone necklace, and asked his father to help him find the information.
It is very dangerous to find out the purpose of a spell item by yourself. Ever since he was forcibly invited into the gem party by rubbing the lid of the pot last time, he never dared to touch such potentially dangerous items lightly.
And Dad's moral sense is definitely at the same level as Jenkins, and he doesn't think it's wrong to take things from the manor, but just let him wait patiently for a few days, and he should be able to identify the result before leaving Nolan.
In the evening of that day, Jenkins was invited to Miss Audrey's house. Tonight was going to be his first astrology class, and he almost forgot about it.
Chocolate naturally followed, and the maid in Miss Audrey's house prepared a soft cat bed like a baby basket for it, but Chocolate only liked to lie on the sofa and watch the two of them.
"Although you will be away from Nolan for a while, our divination courses cannot be delayed."
"Isn't it astronomy?"
He only dared to think about it in his heart, imitating Miss Audrey and sitting cross-legged on the carpet.
Today she is wearing a white robe with a silver pattern, and the holy emblem of the Hermit of Destiny on the robe. This made the scene look very formal at this time. Jenkins didn't know whether his attire was appropriate. He just put on a brown thermal vest over a white shirt as usual.
