Standing in the hall, Garen walked around casually admiring the treasures in the black pillars.
Leaving a delicately carved hollow golden bow, he walked to a row of guardrails beside the hall wall.
Inside the guardrail are thicker black pillars, and these black pillars display more precious collections.
After taking a few steps, Garen stopped beside a group of lively college students,
These college students were wearing uniform black and blue school uniforms, and there were eight of them standing together. Three boys and four girls. They seem to be having a heated debate about the collection.
"The blue wings of Antasi represent freedom and joyful bliss. The perfect kingdom of God yearning for the sky is a long-standing mythological symbol of Antasi. Only the great nobles are qualified to own it." A The girl with the blue ponytail said with a solemn expression. "It can't be the small merchant family you mentioned."
"As usual, it is true, but this one is different. Look at this part of him. It is the famous Asha mark, the most famous business alliance at that time. There are also some special details that can show his birth, such as Here, here, and there." Another boy with white curly hair retorted gently and unquestionably.
"I think Kelian is right. At that time, ordinary people were not allowed to create such things."
"Maybe it was secretly created and collected by others at that time? Just like many rich ladies like to attend receptions with carnival in the early morning."
The students split into two sides, each supporting two people.
Garen stood on the side quietly admiring the collection they were debating.
It was a sky-blue single-winged sculpture. It is more than one meter high and two meters wide, and it looks like it is flying. The feather texture is carved very delicately and realistically. Just like the wings of a real giant eagle.
Garen could tell at a glance that this was one of the imitations of antiques that the old man once talked about. While he couldn't get a closer look, a tiny spot on the base of the wing made him a little suspicious.
Involuntarily, Garen frowned, and his eyes stopped on the place where the base seemed to be cracked. The cracks were not actually cracks, but artificially made. Takes on a distorted S shape.
"You see it too?"
A white-haired old gentleman beside him seemed to have noticed where Garen was looking. Wearing a black tuxedo, he stood upright and powerful. He walked up to Garen and stood still, looking casually at Azure Wing.
"The Azure Wings, which are rumored to represent freedom and the Kingdom of God, are unfortunately just a fake." The old man sighed.
"Actually, I'm not sure. You're not as sophisticated as the old man." Garen smiled humbly.
"Not bad, already very good." The old man shook his head, "How much do you know about Antasi civilization? Can you tell me?"
"I don't really understand it, I just read relevant information in some classics." Garen selectively said something casual about the ancient civilization information before Baigadi.
The old man suddenly became interested.
"Have you learned a lot? Then tell me, what class of collection was this Azure Wing copied from?"
"Judging from the patterns, textures and detailed carvings, I feel that they are copied by small businessmen for their own collection." Gallon expressed his opinion directly.
"No, if it was a small businessman's collection, would he dare to engrave the royal family's logo?" The old man shook his head.
"Royal symbols don't mean anything."
"You don't understand the strict laws at that time. If you use the aristocratic coat of arms indiscriminately, you will be beheaded, let alone the coat of arms of the royal family." The old man said solemnly.
"That's because you didn't understand the special situation at that time. If I'm not wrong, this thing must have been made during a special period at that time. Antasi was already crumbling at that time, and the building of the regime was about to collapse. The royal family has long since not had such a strong binding force." Already." Garen shook his head slightly to express his disapproval.
"Where did you judge its specific age? After all, this is a fake. How do you know that counterfeiters won't falsify the original appearance?"
"Obviously, the shape of this wing is ready to fly. Such blue wings are everywhere, but you haven't noticed that it has a little heaviness and hesitation. The point is here." Garen pointed at the root of the blue wing and said carefully . "See the shape of the wing root? These are the wings of the Red Eagle."
"Red Eagle?" The old man was slightly taken aback, he had never noticed what the prototype of Azure Wing was.
"The blue wings were sculpted by the royal family's sculptor using the blue eagle domesticated by the royal family as a material. And the blue eagle cannot be found in the outside world, so people outside can only use the closest red eagle wings as a substitute. It's a pity After all, there are still subtle differences between the two. And only in a special period, the sculptors of Baigadi would use red carvings to imitate court supplies." Garen shook his head regretfully.
"Your observation is very careful, and your knowledge surprised me. But you still haven't noticed one thing, the inscription on this collection." The old man was still not convinced.
"There are three symbols engraved on the inscription, which represent the three participating sculptors. Coincidentally, I recognize this symbol. It is the symbol of Robert Negan, the most famous royal sculptor of the famous Azure Wing."
"This doesn't mean anything, old sir." Garen shook his head in denial.
"What about you? Whose opinion do you agree with?" The old gentleman suddenly turned his head, facing a female student who came over to listen unconsciously.
This is a delicate girl in a blue and black school uniform and white denim pants. She was obviously engrossed in listening just now, but she was suddenly hit by the old man, and she seemed to have no reaction at once, and she was a little dazed.
"I think it makes sense."
"Don't be nervous, kid." The old man lowered his voice kindly, "I saw your sight just now, among so many people here, only the three of us have noticed several abnormalities of this Azure Wing. You listened. It's been so long, tell me what you think?"
Garen stood aside and sized up the girl.
Eighteen or nineteen years old, with a delicate face, delicate and fair complexion, and long black hair like a fine silk. She stood on the side, dark and cramped, giving people a very simple feeling. Especially her pair of long legs, slender and round, the thin fabric clearly outlines the tight buttocks and thighs.
"You're too nervous." The old man shook his head. "Relax a bit. Think about it carefully. You should be a student of Baigadi Women's University, right? You can see so much at this age, which is not bad. Believe in yourself."
Garen and he both looked at the girl at this moment, waiting for her answer.
The girl hesitated.
"What the two gentlemen said is reasonable, but I think that this blue wing should indeed be the work of the royal sculptor in peacetime. I remember a detail, as if it was given to the royal family who was about to go to the territory at that time. The azure wings of my disciples have undergone slight changes."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard soft applause in front of her.
She raised her head and saw the two people in front of her looking at her with admiration.
"You noticed a detail that we didn't pay attention to." The old man smiled. "I didn't expect an ordinary female student to have such erudite knowledge. Can you tell me your name? Lovely child."
"My name is Ou Penny." The girl lowered her head in embarrassment, her face flushed a little, she was obviously not good at facing compliments from outsiders.
"O Penny." The old man took out a black business card out of nowhere and handed it to the girl. "Follow this, here's my business card."
Au Penny took the business card in a daze, but there was nothing on it, only a big eye symbol.
"Keep it well, this card will bring you good luck when you are in trouble." The old man winked at the girl mysteriously.
Garen stood aside, quietly watching the old man play tricks.
Obviously, this old man may be a big man who hides his identity. This can be seen from the vaguely scattered bodyguards around him.
"Congratulations, lovely Miss O'Brien, it seems that this old gentleman is not an ordinary visitor." He smiled kindly at the little girl.
O'Brien's face was reddish, and she didn't know what to say while holding her business card.
"What about you? Is it interesting to be so young and pretend to be an old man? Young people should look like young people." The old man looked at Garen admiringly, "Your knowledge is about the same as mine. I didn't expect that there would be a child like you in the current younger generation." He also handed out a black business card. "This is for you too."
Garen looked at the business card handed over by the old man, smiled slightly, and was about to speak.
"Who is it!!" Suddenly, a loud roar came from outside the exhibition. "alert!!!"
The sound stopped abruptly. It seemed to be cut off by something.
The people in the exhibition suddenly started to make noise, and people were disturbed. Some characters with bodyguards quickly gathered all their people to protect themselves.
The same was true for the old gentleman here, but within seconds, seven male and female bodyguards in different clothes quickly surrounded him, and under his signal, they protected Garen and the girl named Ou Penny.
"Stay still." The old man told Garen and Aubernie with a calm expression. Both Garen and the girl nodded quickly, looking a little nervous.
"Miga, go out and check the situation, be careful." The old man whispered to a bodyguard.
"Okay, sir." A grim-faced man with a hooked nose nodded and left the crowd, and walked carefully against the wall towards the gate, while taking out a black pistol in his hand.
There are also the same number of people who act the same as him.
Garen also had a dignified and forced calm expression on his face.
It looks like it's about to start. He didn't want to show abnormalities early and be targeted by others. Otherwise, the advantage in the dark that I worked so hard to create at the beginning will be wasted.
He saw the surrounding situation through the gaps of the surrounding bodyguards.
The group of students on the side was also led to hide in a corner by a middle-aged man at this time, each of them had curious, fearful, and even excited faces on their faces.
A few middle-aged people not far away seemed to be extremely dissatisfied at this time. They were pulling out their guns and directing their subordinates to cooperate with the exhibition personnel to maintain order in the venue.
At this time, the security guards in charge of the exhibition also came out. Under the leadership of several team leaders, they calmed down the emotions of the guests at the venue, and at the same time, a group of people walked out of the gate cautiously.
