"You know almost all the theoretical knowledge. As long as you integrate these two books and add practice, you will be considered an introduction. Today's task is to officially start reading these two books. You can also take them home and read them yourself. Oral Everything I can say is in this book, after you have finished reading, you still have doubts and then ask me." The old man said slowly.
Garen nodded, opened the book, and began to read carefully from the beginning.
Time passed, quickly, more than two hours passed. Garen breathed a long sigh of relief, wrote down the pages he saw, and gently closed the book.
"Today is the carnival, old man, I have to go back to celebrate the festival with my family, it's almost three o'clock now, I have to go back."
"Take the book and go quickly. I have to meet some old friends here soon. Don't delay my business." The old man looked down at the book and waved his hands impatiently, as if wishing him to leave quickly.
Garen smiled and picked up two books.
"Then I'll go back first. Come back tomorrow."
"Well, hurry up! It's annoying to see you slowing down!" The old man still didn't look up. "Remember to write down the questions you need to ask tomorrow on paper."
"knew."
Garen walked out of the shop with his books in his hands, and looked back at the old man with a smile on his face.
"Obviously no one is with you for the holidays, and you still talk about seeing old friends. If you really have friends, no one will come to see you for so long. This old man is just stubborn."
Walking a few steps along the street, the street is full of festive pink petals, white paper flowers, some pigeon feathers and trampled pastries.
Before Garen could go far, he saw Grace standing beside the white car at the entrance of Pennington Street, with a serious expression, as if she was waiting for him.
Garen quickened his pace and walked over.
"What's the matter?"
"Tari Mercury is here, and he asked my company to help identify something!" Grace replied in a low voice, "Let's talk in the car first."
Garen frowned. When he heard that Tali Shuiyin came to find Grace, his heart skipped a beat.
Opening the door, the two of them sat side by side in the front seat, slammed the door shut, and rolled up the window. The sound of the festival team outside also suddenly became much quieter.
Grace then took out a photo from her bag and handed it to Garen.
"This morning Tali Mercury came to visit suddenly and took out this thing, saying that he wanted me to identify it."
Garen took the photo, looked at the things on it, and was suddenly startled.
On the photo, it was the Bronze Cross that he had left in Silver Yarn Castle.
"It's this." He carefully looked at the medal on the photo. This is a black and white photo taken from a very close angle, and it looks very clear.
"Hasn't Quicksilver in the tower already investigated Silver Yarn Castle very carefully? Doesn't he know the origin of this medal?" He asked in a low voice.
"Of course I know, but what the great detective wants to investigate is not the origin of those materials." Grace looked very seriously, "It's the origin of this medal before Silver Shade Castle!"
"Before!?" Gallon's heart was shocked, and he suddenly recalled the series of weird events that he encountered in Silver Shade Castle. At that time, his arms were almost broken, and he fled back in embarrassment.
"It seems that they have encountered the same trouble as me." He looked at the festival team passing by outside the window, a group of children wearing knight fake armor kept waving balloons and feather bats.
Garen closed his eyes and opened them again, with a hint of heaviness and seriousness in his eyes.
"Where is the big detective now?"
"It's in our company."
"Go, find him." Garen said in a deep voice. He looked out of the window and muttered, "If possible, maybe with the help of this great detective, I can figure out what it was that I encountered in Silver Shade Castle last time."
He had a vague feeling that the Silver Shade Castle might be the beginning of everything.
"Okay." Grace responded, started the car, and slowly drove forward along the flow of people.
*****************
In a small room in a building facing the street.
"Hahaha Mr. Tali Quicksilver, long time no see." Garen laughed and gave Tali Quicksilver a hug.
"It's really been a long time." Tari Mercury smiled happily, "Mr. Kelly, the person from the Golden Ring didn't make things difficult for you, did he? I asked someone to look for you everywhere afterwards, but unfortunately there has been no news. I didn't expect to I met you here. Everything in the world is really amazing."
The big detective was still holding a pipe and wearing a black trench coat.
Standing beside him was a beautiful lady, wearing a white dress and a round feather hat, with her hands naturally folded on her lower abdomen, with a graceful and elegant temperament.
"Who is this?"
"This is my wife Marianne." Quicksilver introduced the woman.
"Hello, dear Mrs. Quicksilver." Garen nodded with a smile.
"Kelly, you are being polite first." Marianne responded with a gentle and elegant smile.
The three of them sat down on the sofa.
After Garen sat down, he carefully took out a photo, which was the photo of the Bronze Cross.
"Mr. Mercury, in fact, I am a professional appraiser of the Manleyton Company. The thing you want to appraise happened to pass through my hands. As soon as I heard that it was yours, I immediately took it on my own initiative and came to have a look in person. It has been a month or two since the last farewell, time really flies by."
"That's right. I didn't expect Mr. Kelly to hinder the work of the Manleyton Company. This is also a coincidence." Tari Mercury nodded and smiled, "I just don't know if Mr. Kelly has identified the origin of such a thing?"
When Garen heard this, he frowned and fell silent. It seems to be thinking about remembering something.
The other two were not in a hurry, they just sat quietly, waiting for him to speak.
It took several minutes for Garen to speak slowly.
"To be honest, this kind of thing is probably a product left over from a certain huge country more than a thousand years ago."
"A product from thousands of years ago?!" The Mercury couple were shocked.
"Yes, thousands of years ago, there was an ancient empire named Natama, which existed in the current federal territory. There is very little information left over from this empire, and I can only judge from the style of this medal. The product at that time, the specific origin... I am sorry I can't do anything."
Garen sighed. This was not identified by him himself, but the appraisal result given by the appraiser of Manleyton Company itself, and she was just imitating the truth.
"Is that so?" Tali Shuiyin and his wife met each other's eyes, their complexions were a bit ugly.
"But." Garen hesitated to speak. "I don't know what to say or not to say."
Tali Shuiyin narrowed his eyes and said hastily: "Mr. Kelly is straightforward, we are a friendship through thick and thin, and we have nothing to worry about."
Garen glanced at him, saw the affirmation in his eyes, and made a determined look.
"Since this is the case, whether you believe it or not, I will tell you another point of appraisal results."
He paused, "No, maybe it shouldn't be the result of the appraisal, but a special feeling of mine." He glanced at the two of them, "I think this medal should be a doomed antique."
"Antique of Doom!?" Tali Shuiyin was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized, and murmured, "I should have thought of it earlier! I should have thought of it earlier."
Mrs. Mercury was sitting on the side, with sweat dripping from her forehead, she looked worried at her husband's actions.
"That's right, it's an antique of doom." Gallon affirmed, "I personally have an extraordinary talent for antiques of doom. As long as it is this kind of antique, I have enough confidence to identify it. I just... don't know if Mr. Quicksilver can identify it. Let me see this medal for myself, before I returned to the company, other appraisers returned the item to the two of you, and I haven't had time to get it."
"This is no problem." Tali Shuiyin immediately reacted, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, and hurriedly took out a small black box from the inner pocket of his jacket.
Garen took the box and opened it with a snap. Inside was a purple medal lying quietly in the black velvet. It was the medal he had left in Silver Shade Castle.
Garen carefully placed the box on the coffee table, and gently picked up the copper cross with his hand.
As soon as he started, his face was shocked.
I feel that the potential contained in the medal is even greater. A biting cold breath slowly flowed from the medal into Garen's body. Holding the medal in hand is no different from holding a block of ice. This already has one-tenth of the potential content of the black jade plate. At least twice as many medals as before!
"Could it be?!" Gallon's heart skipped a beat, suddenly thinking of a possibility, he raised his head to look at Tali Mercury who was sitting across from him and said in a deep voice. "Mr. Tari, please answer me a question, did someone have an accident before you got this medal!?"
"How do you know?!" Tali Shuiyin opened his eyes, stood up abruptly, and breathed rapidly.
"Calm down! Calm down!" Mrs. Quicksilver hurriedly supported her husband, and firmly pushed him down to sit down. "Listen to Mr. Kelly first."
call.
Terry Mercury took a deep breath.
"Sorry Mr. Kelly, I was being rude."
"It's okay, call me Kelly, we should be considered friends, right?" Garen nodded.
"Okay, Kelly, can you tell me why you were able to see that someone had an accident?" Although Tari Quicksilver sat down, his eyes were still fixed on Garen's. "This is very important to me!"
"Did something happen to your relatives and friends?" Garen continued without waiting for his answer, "I'm sorry, but this is actually a talent of mine. I can actually identify the state of doomed antiques. Maybe this is right for me It must have something to do with the fanatical attitude held by Doom Antiques, it’s a feeling, it’s hard to describe clearly.”
"Feeling? Well, your feeling is indeed very accurate. Presumably because of your hobby, you are an expert who is extremely sensitive to doomed antiques. Just now I need your help." Tari Mercury said seriously, "You know how to undo it. This kind of doom and antique doom? Something happened to my friend Bai Ying's son!"
"What happened?! What's going on!?" Garen asked in a deep voice.
He owed Tali Shuiyin a favor because of the black jade plate, but he had paid off the favor after saving someone last time. Although he doesn't like Tari Mercury's daughter very much, he still has a favorable attitude towards him. After all, no matter what, the black jade plate helped him a lot. Now he is getting stronger every moment.
