Lord of the Witches

Chapter 287 The Old Anchor

It is possible to open a store on the main street, no matter what kind of store it is, it will obviously not be as cramped and shabby as the "Grandma Tree" bookstore.

Gold Goat Antique Shop!

When Tang Qi pushed open the retro door, what he saw was a scene that fit the name of the store. There was a lot of space inside, about the size of several bookstores, but there was not much space for activities, surrounded by various antiques. occupy.

Especially for large pieces like antique furniture, a random number of pieces can make it difficult to move an inch in a spacious space.

This scene is obviously not what a qualified antique store should appear.

At this time, in the store, apart from a few well-dressed customers behind the counter, who seemed to be the middle-aged obese man who seemed to be the store manager, there was only a thin young man with freckles in overalls, who was full of hair. Profusely sorting out those messy antiques.

Obviously, this is why the Golden Goat Antique Shop is looking for apprentices.

In the final analysis, they are still recruiting coolies.

"This guest, do you need...?"

The middle-aged obese man in a handmade suit, a monocle, and a magnifying glass in his hand, even though he saw Tang Qi's shabby clothes, he didn't show the slightest bit of discrimination, and asked politely.

"I'm here to apply!"

Tang Qi was not polite, pointing to the recruitment advertisement outside the store, and then said.

Seeing that it was not a customer, the fat store manager put down the magnifying glass in his hand, and his scrutiny eyes fell on Tang Qi. He squeezed the two mustaches above his lips, and said in a serious tone: "Although the person I want to recruit is an apprentice, it must be an apprentice. That kind of young man who is careful, has read some books, and is good at communicating with people."

"This is not a warehouse. If something is damaged, you probably won't be able to pay for it if you sell it. Especially I don't provide salary. In addition to giving some teaching, you have to create profits for the golden goat in order to get some compensation from it. "

"I think you are more suitable for simpler jobs. If you need, maybe I can introduce you to such a job."

It can be seen that this fat but decent store manager is very good at dealing with people.

Even for a "coolie" like Tang Qi, he can easily gain favor.

If it is the original John Watson, Dade should be grateful at this time.

However, this is Tang Qi.

He didn't mind looking at the fat shop manager, then smiled lightly and said, "No, I'm most suitable for this apprentice job."

"hum"

While speaking, a faint red light appeared in Tang Qi's eyes.

A solid suggestion flooded into the minds of the store manager, another clerk, and several customers who were wandering in the store at the same time.

They would think that the next scene would be: Tang Qi, a young man, with his serious and careful attitude and unexpected knowledge, was appreciated by the store manager and successfully applied for the job. The name John Watson appeared. In the list of members of the Golden Goat Antique Store.

The classic plot from "Shuangwen" was easily implanted in their minds.

It didn't even cost Tang Qi much mental power, "Crimson" was cast quickly and retracted quickly.

When everyone in the store came back to their senses, they saw that the store manager took out a new set of overalls, handed it to Tang Qi, and said with a smile on his face: "From today onwards, you are the second-in-command of the Golden Goat Antique Store." Apprentice, work hard, you have won the favor of Big Arthur."

The manager's name is Arthur Wilson.

At the same time, this obese middle-aged man is also the curator of the only museum in Winston Town.

According to his resume hanging on the wall, he is also an honorary member of the Michigan State Collectors Association, and is among the top ten collectors in Michigan State, including antique furniture, pirate antiques, ancient coins, firearms, and artwork...etc. category specialists.

Just looking at the resume, it is simply unclear.

But given that he can open an antiques store on Main Street in Winston and run a museum, one thing is for sure, this is a rich man.

And the rich, quickly showed their true colors.

After Tang Qi entered the job, he was ordered without hesitation to do hard work with another apprentice named "Taylor Wilson".

That's right, the other apprentice was actually Big Arthur's nephew.

Of course, it was not difficult for Tang Qi to move and organize those antique furniture or other objects. What was a little difficult was that he had to pretend that he had worked hard and that he had really done it.

Fortunately, this can still be fooled by the illusion spell and the body control spell. After both of them were sweating profusely, they finally ushered in the first opportunity to learn.

The store manager began to instill some skills in selling antiques to the two of them, and at the same time threw them each a thick copy of "Encyclopedia of Antiques and Related Introductions". After that, Shi Shiran left the shop to take care of his other copy. Industry, Winston Nobility Museum.

The reason why the fat shop manager left at ease was to leave Tang Qi, an apprentice who had been recruited for only half a day, in the shop. Besides Taylor being his nephew, there was another reason why Tang Qi was speechless.

The so-called "antiques" in the store are almost all fake.

The only real antique furniture, even if someone tried to steal it, they couldn't be moved at all.

As soon as he left, Tang Qi was planning to do something.

Suddenly, something in his arms began to feel hot, and Sally's voice came faintly.

One way iron!

Forcibly, Sally used the "speaking spell" to change it into a telephony.

The message she sent was very simple, Winston High School really didn't need to continue classes, but all the teachers and students were summoned.

It is said that Mihuang Prefecture sent a very powerful "superior detective" to ask the teachers, students, staff, or some people who attended the party last night to cooperate with the investigation.

To this end, the officials are also preparing to broadcast to find passengers who entered the campus that night.

The murder case started to ferment.

Although he was in an antique shop, Tang Qi could still vaguely feel that some housewives on the main street, passing customers, or store managers and clerks in other shops were all discussing the same content.

Taylor is also very interested, ready to move, seems to want to go out to inquire.

But he obviously got his uncle's private instructions, and he couldn't let Tang Qi, a new apprentice, be alone.

Tang Qi could sense this, but still didn't care.

Because, it doesn't do any good.

Even if it is a professional level, it may not be able to see through Tang Qi's illusion spell or "Crimson", let alone just an ordinary antique shop apprentice.

Tang Qi randomly released a little illusion, but the body turned into a shadow, and appeared in the warehouse of the Golden Goat Antique Store in an instant.

To be precise, it is the second warehouse.

The first warehouse is also full of fakes. Behind a hidden door on the wall is the place where the real antiques are stored.

Although he is not an expert on antiques, Tang Qi can still see that the texture of various antiques that are properly and neatly arranged in front of him is different from the outside world.

But no matter how different it was, it had nothing to do with Tang Qi.

He doesn't care about antiques, what he cares about is the "wonderful things" that may be hidden in antiques.

This is one of the reasons for applying for an apprenticeship.

Will there be many strange things hidden in the antiques?

This is an illusion.

However, the odds of strange objects appearing in antiques are indeed higher.

Especially the antique shop opened in Winston Town like Golden Goat. In addition to selling some fake goods to tourists, they also have items for collecting antiques. Most of the sellers they face are locals in Winston Town. And the antiques they took out are likely to be related to the earldom of that year.

This association, it is normal for Tang Qi to appear here.

"Buzz!"

While walking in the warehouse silently, he opened some hidden antiques, his eyes swept, and his special ability was activated.

Although there were many antiques in the warehouse, they couldn't resist Tang Qi's glance.

As a result, it will appear soon.

The first and only strange object came into Tang Qi's eyes at this time.

A faint light is flickering.

The rusty but well-preserved anchor.

It was placed in a wooden box, without ropes, with a heavy metal texture. Some skulls and sea monsters were engraved on the anchor body. Under the rust, some strange black stains could be seen faintly, which seemed to be bloodstains preserved for many years. .

Tang Qi focused his eyes, and a strong resentment, which seemed to be a fusion of many small resentments, was being released.

This breath is very similar to when I saw "Tebat's Sword" before.

Sure enough, some familiar scenes were generated in the next moment.

[Wonderful item: The anchor of the Blood Deer. 】

[Status: Scrapped. 】

[Information Fragment 1: It belongs to a pirate ship that was active in the off-shore waters of the Federation in the old era. Antiques for some price. 】

[Information Fragment 2: The anchor hides the resentment of the entire crew of the "Blood Deer". All the looting and killings were to help Winston accumulate primitive wealth, but in the end they were abandoned and silenced. 】

[Information Fragment 3: The crew of the Blood Deer know some secrets about Earl Winston, but they have been immersed in the seabed for many years, and the information fragments contained on it have long since disappeared, leaving nothing but resentment. 】

...

"A secret again?"

When only one or two fragments of information flowed through together with resentment, Tang Qi also frowned.

Once again, he saw words like secret and silence.

If it was the Tebat's sword last time, some explanations could be found.

The thing revealed in the anchor in front of him is enough proof.

Immortal Earl!

There is a clear gap between Samuel Winston and the portrayal of the witch leader in the comics.

In the comics, Earl Winston is a brave, powerful and righteous soldier and explorer.

But what Tang Qi saw at this time was a ruthless hero.

In the old calendar era, it is not uncommon for heroes to be born.

But there is a problem here, that is, what I have learned before and after, about Samuel Winston's character design, is beginning to be inconsistent.

If Tang Qi is asked whether he believes in comics or in his own special ability.

The answer, no doubt.
