One hundred and thirtieth antique shop pick up leaks
In the end, after John said goodbye to the female detective Theresia, he did not wait for John Salvatore to return. Apparently, the playboy might have had a little too much fun last night.
Now that there is a second commission, John is not in a hurry to settle the payment for the trip to the mine with the other party. Anyway, the fine gold has not been refined yet, and there is no trace of the fine gold weapon he planned to distribute to the other party.
Woolen cloth.
When John returned to the manor, he was busy with his own affairs except for pulling Klaus out who was addicted to experiments so that he could have a good rest.
During the day, I would pay attention to the decoration of the store, and then buy a batch of antiques through previous acquaintances and family channels. After all, it is an antique store. Although I don't plan to make money by selling antiques, I still want to buy some products to show off.
At night, I devoted all my energy to warming up my already formed Feijian.
Now it feels a little awkward to call this sword the sword of Marquis Nicholas. Someone asked him what the name of this flying sword was, and then he said "sword of Marquis Nicholas"?
The painting style immediately became crooked, and there was no fairy-like style at all.
What can it be called?
Kill immortals? Kill gods?
I feel like I'm a little bit in the middle.
"Forget it, let's call it the Sword of Nicholas. It just so happens that this sword was originally given to me by Klaus, and it can be regarded as commemorating the brotherhood between him and me."
In the end, John chose to name the sword after Klaus, which is also in line with the common habits of this world. People in this world like to name their beloved weapons, pets, and even battleships after their relatives, especially women.
.
"You'd feel more honored than Klaus to know, right?"
John, whose name was abandoned, thought so confidently and continued to immerse himself in the process of refining and cultivating the flying sword.
…
The next morning, John called the Salvatore brothers to go to the antique store to select the goods to be purchased.
In the past few days since returning to Jinsha Port, the two brothers have stayed in the manor without going out, especially when John told them an unacceptable fact, that their uncle turned out to be a demon hunter who specializes in hunting dark creatures.
The two brothers were even more afraid to go out casually in case they met the uncle.
It was not that they were worried that their uncle would kill them with a sword when they met. The Salvatore family, like most down-and-out aristocratic families, had deep feelings for their family and relatives. They were afraid of disappointing each other, so they did not dare to meet.
The reason why John wanted to take the Salvatore brothers was because the two elites in the family were involved in the antique business. They had a certain understanding of these things since they were young. Brandon, a rough guy who only knew how to fight and kill, had a certain understanding of these things since he was a boy.
The two Arthurs, who were homeless, couldn't do this at all.
Arriving at his own shop on Daffodil Street, John inspected the decoration process. The main body is now basically completed. Because of the novel idea of integrating wall panels and ceilings provided by John in his previous life, the family's craftsmen used ready-made wooden boards to cut, polish and shape them.
It greatly shortened the renovation process that originally took at least a month.
In just two or three days, the main walls, floor and ceiling were completed, leaving only the counter, furnishings and lamps.
John nodded with satisfaction and came to the warehouse in the backyard of the store. An antique dealer was already waiting here. This was a steward under Old Salvatore and could also be the shopkeeper. The person in charge was the wealthy man in Sands Harbor.
The acquisition of an antique shop on Ailong Street in the District.
Old Salvatore, who happened to have concluded a deal in Rem Town and came to Sands Port, was visiting his two sons and learned that John wanted to get involved in the antique industry, so he guaranteed to provide John with a large supply of goods.
Anyway, his antique shop actually doesn't make much money. It was opened in Jinsha Port just to communicate with the wealthy businessmen in Jinsha Port. As long as it doesn't lose money every year, it's fine.
The table prepared in the warehouse has been covered with at least hundreds of antiquities, which at least look like antiquities.
Among them, there are mainly gold and silver jewelry and household utensils, as well as local indigenous-style masks, spears, pendants and the like.
Even with John's inexperienced eyesight, he could see that some things were obviously new and could not be called antiquities at all.
The steward who received the instructions from old Salvatore also told the truth.
"Sir John, most of these are just to fool people and are used to show off. All antique shops operate like this. Only when important customers come, they will bring out the real things. Of course, if a customer takes a fancy to these,
So if you don’t slaughter such a fat sheep, wouldn’t it be cheaper than other antique stores?”
John felt amused and laughed.
It seems that no matter where in the world, the antique industry does this.
Generally, fakes are just to fool those stupid people who have a lot of money. If a real expert has noticed it, it is because you have no eyesight. According to the rules of the antique shop, as long as the seller does not deliberately design a trap, he will generally not be affected.
Legally accountable.
Although most of the antiquities in front of him were fake, John still turned on his spiritual vision and observed the side in line with the principle of making three poles if there was no date. He could see the problem at this glance.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, John discovered an unusual spiritual light.
"This pendant is very interesting!"
John took the thing, but it was a pendant in the shape of a flying eagle carved from brown-red wood. Although the carving was relatively crude, it had a magical charm of flying in the sky, just like the ink paintings of the freehand masters of the previous life. It was considered a pendant.
A rare piece of art.
When John looked at it with his spiritual eyes, he saw that there was a faint magic aura, that is, spiritual fluctuations. Judging from the situation, the faint white light should be a kind of magic power such as protection and blessing.
The steward took a look and explained:
"Sir, these are the amulets of the aboriginal tribes. They are all made by the aborigines for external sale. They are not real antiques of the aboriginal tribes. The real antiques there are sacrificial artifacts. Unless the tribes die, they cannot be passed down.
In the hands of outsiders."
John nodded, but he knew in his heart that just like those local minority ornaments, this humble amulet should be a real treasure mixed in ordinary handmade amulets.
Through his experience with extraordinary items, he quickly analyzed the details of the spell of this flying eagle pendant. It should be a positive energy spell for purification and protection similar to the eight most common Taoist spells in previous lives. However, the runes engraved on it are relatively simple.
The refining technique is very rough, and the effect can only resist some Yin Qi erosion. A slightly stronger ghost attribute can break this defense with one blow.
The so-called positive energy and negative energy are the terminology of this world. John also went to college with his young master Klaus. People in this world divide the basic energy in the world into six types: positive and negative and the elements of earth, air, water and fire.
Energy, according to his understanding, is actually the four origins of yin and yang and earth, water, wind, and fire in the previous life, that is, yin and yang and the four phenomena.
As for the Five Elements Theory and Bagua Theory of Taoism in previous lives, they have not been found in this world. The latter should be the conversion and expansion of material energy, and are not considered the most basic source of energy.
