Volume 1: The Gold Pocket Watch Chapter 7: The Situation

No. 31 Mink Street, second floor of Frank Apartment!

Weinerson looked at Irene's scrutinizing eyes and touched his cheek unnaturally. This was an action left over from the original owner. He didn't have to do it at all, but he was afraid that Irene would notice something. After all, Weinerson now

Compared with the original Weinerson, it is quite different.

Well, keep the actions of the original owner properly so as not to arouse suspicion and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Weinerson touched it, and he suddenly realized that he was using his left hand with a bronze ring, but it was too late, because Irene's eyes were already focused on it.

"Weinersen, actually you don't have to wear this ring all the time. It doesn't look good."

"I know you miss your dad and mom, and I miss them too, but people always have to move on. In addition to mom and dad, you also have me, Mies, and Gropius. We are all family members."

family......

With his mind blurred, Weinerson recalled one of the memory fragments.

Seven years ago, Jason Vandero went to an ancient temple for archeology in the Chaos Sea of ​​the Northern Ocean. When he came back, he did not bring any valuables. Instead, he just took out this strange-looking stone from his suitcase.

ring.

In Weinerson's memory, the ring was not elegant in color, blue-gray, and it was engraved with intricate patterns and mysterious symbols with symbolic meaning.

It was unknown who it belonged to specifically. Jason could only vaguely speculate that it was a product of the Third Age's natural disaster era. After his death, this ring became one of the few relics.

The memory fragments flashed by, and Weinerson frowned slightly.

But the ring on my hand was something I brought with me when I traveled through time. It is not the same one as before. Even the shape is different.

Or is it that this ring originally looked like this, and my memory was biased or confused because of time travel?

No, that's not right, my memory will not be confused.

Wait, I understand, this should be caused by the hidden power in the ring. It allows people who have seen it to overlap with the same things, thereby silently tampering with memory and cognition, a bit similar to dreams overlapping reality.

means that they influence and interfere with each other to achieve the effect of secret replacement.

That's why Erin thought this ring was the one Jason brought back, because in her eyes, the image of the ring on my hand was actually the same as the image of the previous ring, but in fact they were not the same.

Are not the same.

This also explains why the night watchman didn't notice that the shape of the ring I was wearing last night was exactly the same as the sketch in the portrait.

Maybe in their eyes, the ring on my hand is something else. To be bolder, let alone a ring, it's not even a thing at all.

I have to sigh, it is really a magical power...

"I know sister, I am actually used to wearing this ring. Of course, I have always been relying on you and my brothers, and I have always wanted to do something for you to reduce the burden on the family."

As Weinerson spoke, he felt relieved. At least this ring did not cause trouble in front of other people. It just subtly allowed outsiders to overlap it with other things. This is not a very bad change. It is completely acceptable.

Acceptable range.

"You have worked hard to get into college and change your family's future destiny. This is the greatest help to us. In one week, the Heston Academy of Fine Arts will start a new entrance exam. Weinerson, come on!"

"Um...ah...ah, exam?"

"Yes, exam!"

Weinerson was a little doubtful that he had heard it wrong, but after carefully calculating the time, he found that next week was indeed the university entrance exam. Speaking of which, this would be the second major exam in his life.

Eileen took back the yellow crystal, stretched out her slender palm, gently touched Wei Nason's forehead, then lowered her head and kissed her:

"Don't worry Weinerson, you will succeed."

Irene's kiss-like encouragement made Weinerson stunned for a few seconds. He didn't know how to respond, and he didn't expect that the world's encouragement method was so special. He could only smile back awkwardly and politely.

.

"Okay, I should go to work. There is breakfast in the cupboard, which is brown bread and shepherd's purse soup."

"Okay sister, I will eat." Weinerson replied softly.

"Well, now is the time for you to grow, so I don't need to say anything else."

After Irene finished her instructions, she took a deep look at her youngest brother, turned around and walked towards the door. The moment she opened the door and walked out, she suddenly stopped again.

Irene, do you have anything else to tell me?

But having said that, I must not be young anymore, but this makes me feel like I am not good at anything, and I am the first to eat, right?

Weinerson shook his head and cursed himself, and his guess was accurate enough. As expected, Eileen turned around in the next second and warned him again.

"I almost forgot to mention it. Today is Friday. Mies and Gropius will come back from the pier in Prydzhavn. Weinerson, you will need to buy some lamb and black bread later. They are tired at the pier.

You should make up for it in two weeks, and you also need to make up for the upcoming college exams."

"Okay, okay."

Weinerson answered softly, and at the same time, he memorized the words "Friday" and "two weeks" in his mind.

In the continent of Phaedras, a year is divided into twelve months, and a week is also divided into seven days. But unlike Earth, there are a fixed 365 days here every year, and the New Year happens to be the last day of each year.

One day, this cycle goes on and on, no more, no less.

Of course, the determination and replacement of this date are recorded in the creation myths. It was created by Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth. She is also the mother of the legendary dragons, giants, elves and other ancient gods.

I can guarantee that Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, is an ancient god who is afraid of trouble, or has obsessive-compulsive disorder, otherwise she would not be able to order the replacement of old and new things neatly.

While thinking, Eileen took a step forward, took out three banknote-like things from her handbag and handed them over, and said:

"I buy the lamb from Uncle Cotterman's. Not only is his lamb fresh, it's 2 pence cheaper than others."

"Remember, it's Uncle Cotterman's lamb. It costs about 3 pounds. You know the location of his house, right?"

Sure enough, in Eileen's subconscious, the youngest brother is a child who does not understand the world. I must emphasize again...

Weinerson took the dark green and white banknote, held it in his hand, smiled and nodded: "Okay sister, I know."

"OK."

As the door clicked shut, Weinerson breathed a sigh of relief, and then focused on the banknotes in his hand.

In the monetary system of the Kingdom of Ghent, the decree is located at the second level. It is derived from the ancient Solomon coins, which was an ancient empire that existed in the era of natural disasters. In that era, one decree was equal to twelve copper pennies, with one, five and

Thirteen denominations.

At the top of the currency is the gold pound, which comes in two forms: banknotes and gold coins. The gold list is made of gold. It can be said that each gold pound is genuine gold. One gold pound is equal to twenty decrees. There are also one or five gold pounds.

, ten of these three denominations.

Weinerson unfolded the crumpled banknotes, which were three 1-farm banknotes. He brought his nose close and sniffed, smelling the very light smell of ink on them, as well as the special fragrance of money itself.

This is the taste of money. Sure enough, no matter where they are, these cute little guys are always so attractive, making people feel extremely happy and joyful.

Weinerson admired it carefully for dozens of seconds, then neatly folded it and carefully put it into his wallet.

After spending five minutes getting dressed, Weinerson heard the melodious ringing of the church bell in the distance again. After ringing seven times in succession, he walked to the elm mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

The upper body is a black low-quality leather vest, the jacket is a longi coat, the lower body is wearing black trousers and Martin boots, plus a peaked cap. This is the most common outfit for the working class in Faslanca, and it is also the only one worn by Weinerson.

Decent clothing.

"Well, it's not bad. He looks a bit like a young boy who came out of the Victorian era."
