Chapter 288: Earl's Relic Exhibition
Samuel Winston, who was active in the Old Calendar era.
That is, he was a historical figure.
And the collapse of the character of historical figures is not a very unusual thing. The truth of most events is actually hidden in the fog of time, and unless there is a large amount of evidence, it is difficult to fully know what a person is like.
Before that, Count Winston's "personality" was all derived from the comics of the witch chief.
Now it looks like there are signs of collapse.
At this moment, a thought suddenly crossed Tang Qi's mind.
A plan is starting to take shape.
With other transcendents, under the interference of a powerful person of the level of the witch leader, I am afraid that it is impossible to find out what kind of person Samuel Winston, the earl hidden behind the fog of history, is within seven days.
The truth of that catastrophe is the same.
But Tang Qi is not the same.
The plan was not complicated, and Tang Qi didn't even think much about it, so he directly finalized it.
With a thought in his mind, he asked the Night Beast to restore the storehouse, and then returned, continuing to look like he was obsessed with the "Encyclopedia of Antiques and Related Introductions".
From start to finish, Taylor did not notice his departure.
Regarding the seriousness of Donch's new apprentice, Taylor, a "second generation collector", said that there was no threat.
This freckled young man, because of his status as the nephew of the store manager, will not take any apprentice seriously.
Because Arthur Wilson, the store manager and museum director, has the outskirts of a successful man, but at this age, he is neither married nor left children, and it is no wonder that Taylor's parents sent him as an apprentice.
The idea couldn't be simpler.
Probably thinking that after the death of Great Arthur, Taylor would inherit everything.
Is it possible to succeed in a normal idea?
It had nothing to do with Donkey, he just pretended to be immersed in the book while listening to Sally's voice on the other end.
The homicide case is indeed fermenting.
The town seems to be relatively quiet, but inside Winston High School, the teachers and students are a little restless.
So much so that the principal and the leadership had to come out to comfort them, this time the police detective who was sent by the Secret Phoenix State to be in charge of the case was not only the most famous detective in the Secret Phoenix State, but also had an incredible reputation in the entire Condor Federation.
It is said that the FBI invited the detective to join several times, but all of them refused.
At the same time, the detective also brought a powerful "advisor".
The latter and the detective, a combination that has just gained fame, have collaborated several times, each time perfectly solving a far more horrific case than the Winston High School homicide.
For example, the collective disappearance of hundreds of villagers in Balaki Mountain, or the murder of devil dolls, and the most implausible of all, the ice lake monster incident in Sina.
These cases all sound like plots from fantasy movies.
But according to the official version, each one is real, just specific details, and is classified as a classified document.
Compared to the above, the murder at Winston High School is indeed nothing.
It sounds like nothing unexpected is going to happen.
"Detective and Advisor? ”
Tang Qi listened to the brilliant achievements of the two and muttered.
However, he didn't have to guess to know that this pair must have been sent by the officials of the Secret Phoenix State to spy on Winston Town.
Although the town at this time is considered calm.
But the official is not stupid at all, those transcendents who covet the "blood of the gods" can be mixed in, and the officials naturally knew about the immortal earl, the curse, the blood of the gods, and the daughter of destiny early on...... These events are also understood if they are not intervened.
Winston Town is bound to cause a terrible disaster.
Not to mention other transcendental, just an "immortal council" makes the official have to pay attention.
Official Missile, and even the FBI.
There are a number of ratings for the extraordinary organizations in the Missa region.
It was very coincidental that Tang Qi had dealt with them one after another.
Order of the Shepherds!
Immortal Council!
These two forces are clearly side by side.
The former, although he was hit by the Investigation Bureau, but according to some sources, after paying some price, Lecter, who was the leader, lived first, and went underground with the Order, becoming hidden and more dangerous.
The latter can be placed alongside the Order, and one can imagine its terribleness.
When Donkey took Sally and took the train into Winstontown, he met one of the descendants of Anna from the five ancestral families of the Immortal Council, and one of them was an "Elder" ghost, which left a deep impression on Donkey.
Since the official believes that this pair of detectives can play a monitoring role here, it shows that they are not weak.
Thinking of this, Tang Qi reminded Sally.
Although the effect of the half-finished transformation elixir is powerful, for the sake of safety, a "spirit spell" can be added.
At some point, Sally's phrase "no one can see through my disguise" may be even more effective than a half-finished transfiguration elixir.
Of course, the downside of the Soul Charm is that it is not constant.
It is also limited by Sally's magical powers, as well as her casting status.
Keeping Sally on her toes, Donkey pulled her attention back.
Because at this time, Arthur Wilson, the store manager, came back after wandering around his museum.
Take a break and take advantage of the fact that there are no customers in the store.
Arthur Wilson continued his previous lectures, explaining some precautions for Donch and Taylor, as if he wanted to get the two of them up to speed as soon as possible, so that he could help himself take care of this "huge" antique shop.
He unbuttoned his coat to reveal his waistcoat inside, and lay himself in a near-supine position in his chair, with his feet on the table, as if completely oblivious to his previous boast, which was an antique table from Europa, with a pipe in his mouth and a mustache while lecturing.
Pointing to the two old-looking flint guns hanging on the wall above his head, he said proudly: "I just talked about how to sell antiques, now I will tell you about those antiques that you can collect, such as this pair of flint guns from the old calendar." ”
"Their original owner was a lucky one, who inherited this pair of treasures from the family, and it was probably a relic from Earl Winston's Castle, which ruled most of the Secret Phoenix State back then, and they were simply priceless. ”
With his boasting, Tang Qi glanced at it.
No surprises, not a strange thing.
Perhaps they were indeed from the Earl's castle, but they certainly did not belong to the Count himself, and were most likely the weapons of the guards or even the servants.
It's worth some divine grace, but it's not big.
However, Tang Qi did not expose it, and let the store manager continue.
His next words immediately made Tang Qi interested.
"In Winstontown, there are some antiques that must be taken once they are confirmed, especially the relics in the Earl's Castle. ”
"This town, in fact, was founded by a group of desperate refugees, their home was invaded by monsters, in order to survive, fled to the county, and unexpectedly found that the originally extremely prosperous county was in ruins. ”
"The people inside have all disappeared without a trace, leaving only an empty territory and an incredible Earl's Castle. ”
"These lucky refugees, who had divided all the good things in the castle, not only survived, but also possessed a lot of wealth, and in honor of the immortal earl, these ancestors called this place Winstontown. ”
"If there are local residents who come here to sell antiques while I am away, once it is confirmed that it is a relic of the earl, be sure to accept it, and I will teach you how to identify ......"
......
Tang Qi pretended to be listening, and his thoughts flickered.
Arthur Wilson's statement is no different from what Donkey has learned.
In other words, the "relics" that may contain all kinds of precious information in Earl's Castle were not destroyed or entered into a museum, but were scattered in Winstontown, the homes of local residents.
Don Qi wants to investigate the truth about the disaster of that year, and what kind of person Samuel Winston was, which is obviously the best place to start.
Moreover, there is an excellent target for use right in front of you, and you can achieve your goals without arousing anyone's suspicion.
With a move in his heart, Tang Qi pretended to be curious and said, "Mr. Arthur, how well do the local residents sell antiques?"
"No, very little, they are all rich. ”
"And those guys are so stingy that they won't let me look at it, as if I, the big collector, would rob them of their stuff. ”
When it was mentioned as sad, Arthur Wilson said with an unhappy face.
Tang Qi complained directly in his heart: "You do look like a profiteer, Mr. Arthur." ”
On his face, Tang Qi first showed a thoughtful look, and then seemed to think of something, but he hesitated a little, but finally plucked up his courage and said to Arthur Wilson: "Mr. Arthur, I have thought of a way that may allow you to see all the Earl's Castle antiques in the hands of the local residents at once. ”
"Oh? really?"
Seeing that Arthur Wilson was really interested, Tang Qi didn't have the slightest intention of selling off.
He said directly: "Since you own the only museum in the town and are an honorary member recognized by the Collectors Association of Mihuang, you must be qualified enough to issue appraisals for residents?"
"Of course, my certificate is enough to be used in the Federation. ”
As if tickled, Arthur Wilson smirked.
Tang Qi smiled, and continued: "In this case, Mr. Arthur can contact the residents who own the antiques of the Earl's Castle, as well as the official, to jointly hold an exhibition of the Immortal Earl's relics, and all the residents who lend the antiques can obtain the appraisal certificate issued by Mr. Arthur for free." ”
"The exhibition can attract a large number of visitors, and Mr. Arthur can use the Golden Goat Antique Shop as the sole sponsor, which not only satisfies the desire to see the antiques, but also has a large advertising effect, and the residents get valuable appraisal books for free. ”
"There should be a high level of viability for everyone to benefit. ”
Every time Tang Qi said a word, Arthur Wilson's eyes lit up.
After listening, he thought about it seriously and said: "What about the government, will those guys agree, you must know that holding exhibitions is expensive and laborious, especially the police force used to protect antiques, it sounds very troublesome." ”
"Mr. Arthur, believe me, the government will hear your request and will definitely grant it as soon as possible. ”
Tang Qi smiled mysteriously and said with great certainty.
