If you can 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.

Golden Goat Antique Shop!

When Tang Qi opened the retro door, he saw a scene that was very in line with the name of the store, the space inside was very large, about the size of several bookstores, but there was not much space for activities, and it was occupied by all kinds of antiques.

Especially for large pieces such as antique furniture, a few pieces at random can make a large space difficult to move in.

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

At this time, in the store, except for a few well-dressed customers behind the counter, who seemed to be the manager's middle-aged obese man, there was only a thin and freckled young man in overalls, who was sweating profusely sorting out the messy antiques.

Obviously, that's why Golden Goat Antiques is looking for apprentices.

In the final analysis, it is still recruiting coolies.

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

The middle-aged obese man in a handmade suit, wearing monocles, and holding a magnifying glass in his hand, even if he saw Tang Qi's shabby dress, did not show the slightest discrimination, and still asked politely.

"I'm here to apply!"

Tang Qi was not polite, pointed to the job advertisement outside the store, and then said.

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

"This is not a warehouse, and if you damage something, you probably can't afford to sell it. In particular, I don't offer pay, and you have to make a profit for the Golden Goat in order to get some pay, except for some teaching. ”

"I think you're better suited for a simpler job, and if you need one, maybe I can introduce you to one like this. ”

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

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

If it was the original John Watson, he should be grateful to Dade at this time.

However, this is Donch.

He didn't care about looking at the fat store manager, then smiled faintly and said, "No need, the most suitable for me must be this apprenticeship." ”

"Buzz"

As he spoke, a faint red light flashed under Tang Qi's eyes.

A solid hint poured into the minds of the store manager, another clerk, and several customers who were wandering around the store at this time.

They would think that the next scene would be: Don Qi, a young man, with a serious and careful attitude and unexpected knowledge, was appreciated by the store manager, and the job was successful, and 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, and the "Crimson" was quickly cast and quickly recovered.

When everyone in the store came back to their senses, what they saw was that the store manager took out a new set of uniforms, handed them to Tang Qi, and said with a smile on his face: "From today onwards, you are the second apprentice of the Golden Goat Antique Shop, do a good job, you have won the appreciation of Great Arthur." ”

The manager's name is Arthur Wilson.

At the same time, this obese middle-aged man is also the director of the only museum in Winstontown.

He is also an honorary member of the Collectors Association of Missile, ranked among the top 10 collectors in Missi, according to his biography hanging on the wall, for antique furniture, pirate antiques, ancient coins, firearms and art...... and so on.

Just looking at the resume, it's just confusing.

But considering that he was able to open an antique shop on Main Street Winston and run a museum, one thing is for sure, this is a wealthy man.

And the rich soon showed their true colors.

After joining the company, Tang Qi was not hesitated to be instructed to do hard work with another apprentice named "Taylor Wilson".

That's right, the other apprentice is actually the nephew of the store manager of Big Arthur.

Moving and organizing those antique furniture or other objects is certainly not difficult for Tang Qi, but some of the difficulties are that he needs to pretend to be very hard.

Fortunately, you can use the "body control spell" to fool the past, and after both of them are tired and sweating, they finally ushered in the first opportunity to learn.

The store manager began to instill some antique sales skills in the two of them, and at the same time threw them a thick copy of the "Antique Categories and Related Introductions", after which Shi Shiran left the store to take care of his other property, the Winston Noble Museum.

The reason why the fat store manager left with peace of mind, leaving Tang Qi, an apprentice who had just been recruited for only half a day, was in the store. In addition to being because of Taylor, the nephew, there is another reason that makes Don Qi a little speechless.

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

The only real antique furniture, even if someone wants to steal it, can't move it at all.

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

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

One-way iron sheets!

It was forcibly changed into a telephony by Sally with a "spirit spell".

The message she sent was simple, Winston High School, sure enough, there was no need to continue classes, but all the teachers and students were called over.

It is said that it is because the state of Mirhuang sent a very powerful "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 official is also preparing to send a radio to find passengers who entered the campus that night.

The homicide case began to ferment.

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

Taylor was also intrigued, and seemed to want to go out and inquire.

However, he had apparently received a private order from his uncle that he could not leave Tang Qi, the new apprentice, alone.

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

Because, it's useless.

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

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

Second warehouse, to be exact.

The first warehouses are also fakes, and behind a hidden portal in the wall is a storage place for real antiques.

Although he is not an antique expert, Tang Qi can still see that the various antiques in front of him are properly placed and neat, and the texture is not the same as the outside world.

But no matter how different it is, it has nothing to do with Tang Qi.

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

This is one of the reasons to apply for an apprenticeship.

There are a lot of strange things hidden in antiques?

It's an illusion.

However, the probability of strange objects appearing in antiques is indeed higher.

In particular, the antique shops in Winston Town, such as the Golden Goat, not only sell some fakes to tourists, but also have antique items, and most of the sellers are locals in Winstontown. And the antiques they took out were probably related to the county of the year.

This association, Tang Qi appears here, it is normal.

"Buzz!"

While walking silently in the warehouse, he opened some hidden antiques, swept his gaze, and his special abilities worked.

Although there are a lot of antiques in the warehouse, they can't resist Tang Qi's glance.

As a result, it didn't take long to appear.

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

A faint ghostly light is flickering.

That one piece was rusty, but a well-preserved anchor.

It was placed in a wooden box, without rope, with a heavy metal texture, and some skeletons and sea monsters were engraved on the anchor body, and under the rust, some strange black stains could be faintly seen, which seemed to be blood stains that had been preserved for many years.

Tang Qi's gaze condensed, and a strong big resentment that seemed to be fused together by many small resentments was being released.

This aura is very similar to when I saw the "Sword of Tebat" before.

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

[Strange Object: The Anchor of the Blood Deer.] 】

[Status: Scrapped.] 】

[Information fragment 1: It belongs to a pirate ship that was active in the waters off the coast of the Federation in the old era, and when it was in good condition, it had some extraordinary abilities such as calming the tsunami and stabilizing the hull, but now it is just a piece of broken iron and an antique that can be sold for some price. 】

[Information fragment 2: The anchor hides the resentment of the entire crew of the "Blood Deer", although they are feared and cruel pirates, but secretly they are loyal to Samuel Winston, who was still a naval officer at the time, and their looting and killing are all to help Winston accumulate primitive wealth, but in the end they are abandoned and destroyed. 】

[Information fragment 3: The crew of the Blood Deer knows some secrets about Count Winston, but after years of immersion in the seabed, the fragments of information contained on it have long since disappeared, and there is nothing but resentment. 】

......

"Secret again?"

When the only remaining fragments of information flowed past along with the resentment, Tang Qi's brows furrowed.

Again, he saw the words of secret, of extinction.

If it's the Sword of Tebat from last time, you can still find some explanations.

What was revealed in the anchor in front of me was enough to prove it.

Immortal Earl!

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

In the comics, Count Winston is a bold, powerful, and righteous soldier and explorer.

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

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

But there is a problem here, that is, what I have known before and after, about Samuel Winston's character, is starting to be wrong.

If you ask Tang Qi if he believes in comics, or if he believes in his special abilities.

The answer, there is no doubt about it.

ps: From today onwards, the 2,000-word chapter will be changed to a 3,000-word chapter, and it will still be 6,000 words a day.
