July 18?

Su Xian pinched his fingers and counted.

Today is July 16, and the day after tomorrow is July 18.

At eight o'clock sharpest the night after tomorrow, there will be a party somewhere in the city of Brut.

The initiator and the theme of the meeting are not yet known, and the invitation is not clearly stated.

Obviously, these are secrets that cannot be passed on.

Su Xian picked up the golden chrysanthemum badge from the table and observed it carefully.

This Golden Chrysanthemum badge should be proof of eligibility, as long as you bring this Golden Chrysanthemum and an ancient item, you can participate in the party.

But if you don't know where the meeting will be, then it's all empty talk.

"I just wonder if this party has anything to do with the people who sent the puppets?"

……

Just as Su Xian was thinking about this, Professor Buck finally finished reading the three letters, and after a little summary in his heart, he sighed:

"Eternal, unfamiliar, crimson...... These three words refer not to vampires, but to a thousand-year-old medicine that can give people eternal life. It's a pity that this thousand-year-old medicine was refined at least three thousand five hundred years ago, and after three thousand years, even the medicine refined by the best alchemist has long since decayed and deteriorated. I'm afraid that there is not one in a thousand medicinal properties. Even toxicity is unknown. ”

In fact, the truly intelligent people will basically not be fooled by the name of this "thousand-year-old medicine".

Not to mention how much the medicinal properties of the "millennium medicine" will change before and after the millennium, even if it is a human being before and after a millennium, its physical characteristics must be different, the same medicine may be a good medicine for humans a thousand years ago, but it may be a poison for humans a thousand years later!

Professor Buck was not fooled by this, he put the letter down, and said, "The man who sent the puppet to Wal-Mart must have harbored evil intentions, and he killed Wal-Mart!" ”

He has limited information and will never think that he is the real murderer of Walmart directly.

Su Xian blinked and handed him the invitation: "Professor, you can take a look at this invitation again." ”

Professor Buck took the invitation letter and read it carefully, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "I didn't expect Walmart to be qualified to be invited to the Relic Club one step ahead of me." ”

He apparently knew the origin of the invitation.

Su Xian asked, "Professor, what will the relics be?" ”

"It's a secretive organization that specializes in ancient relics. We antiquarians study the monetary value of antiquities, but they study deeper values, such as culture, heritage, history, totems, and some mysterious things that involve supernatural powers. There is a theory circulating in circles that it is an organization created by some spellcaster elders left over from the age of the gods. I'll tell you the truth, I've always wanted to join this organization, but I haven't even found a way to reach them. ”

Su Xian picked up the Golden Chrysanthemum badge: "Even if you have this qualification certificate, you can't find them?" ”

Professor Buck pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I think so." ”

This is not good news.

Su Xian pinned the golden chrysanthemum badge to his chest, lowered his head to look at it, and asked, "Then if I wear this golden chrysanthemum and walk around under the blue sky and white sun, will anyone take the initiative to contact me?" ”

Professor Buck looked up at him with surprise in his eyes.

Su Xian said: "Not long after Wal-Mart got the qualification for this invitation, it sent the puppet to him, I don't think it's a coincidence. Besides, since the relic will study those mysterious things, if we can get into it, maybe we can actually get some of the things we want, you say? ”

Professor Buck frowned slightly, "But we don't know what kind of organization the relic will be, and if they find out that your badge is not their own, you will be in danger." ”

Su Xian said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger?" If you don't even dare to take this risk, how can you prepare for a rainstorm? ”

Professor Buck looked down and thought for a moment before he said, "Since you've decided, so be it." We checked the contents of the house again, and if there were no other clues, we took them away and notified the Walmart family...... Prepare for the funeral. ”

……

Su Xian couldn't tell if Professor Buck was acting too devotedly, or if he was really sad.

After continuing the search to no avail, he parted ways with Professor Buck and got into a carriage and headed back to College Street.

In the carriage, he took off the golden chrysanthemum badge again and examined it carefully.

The badge seems to be made of pure gold, and the chrysanthemum is carved to life, shining in the sun.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is a less obvious "growth ring" mark on the bud of this chrysanthemum.

Chrysanthemums represent longevity, growth rings are traces of time, and gold is a noble color.

The meaning symbolized by this golden chrysanthemum badge is self-evident.

What kind of organization will this relic society, which was born after the fall of the gods, be?

He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

The sound of the carriage is even and gentle, and the wheels of history have been rolling forward, but the dust left behind has never been forgotten.

……

At dusk when the sun was setting, Su Xian's carriage drove into College Street and stopped at the door of the rare treasure antiquities store.

Get off, pay, and say goodbye to the carriage.

He stood in the doorway for a moment, then took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole of the roller shutter, and twisted the bracket.

A middle-aged man who had been hanging around here saw him open the door, his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly.

When he got closer, the middle-aged man asked, "Excuse me, are you the owner of this rare treasure antiquities shop?" ”

Su Xian pulled up the roller shutter door, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, and responded, "Yes, that's right." ”

This middle-aged man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his head was smeared with wax, which was shiny and shiny, and he looked quite energetic.

When he saw Su Xian, he said happily: "Are you a shop that sells rare antiquities?" ”

Su Xian nodded: "This is also one of the business scopes, if you need anything, you can come to the store to have a look." ”

Then he opened the main entrance inside and invited the middle-aged man in: "Your surname? ”

Speaking of which, after two days in a row, this middle-aged man is still the most decent-looking guest at present.

The middle-aged man said, "Niko." ”

……

As soon as the lamp was lit, the Mr. Nico looked at the antiquities shop, and he seemed to have been looking for the antiquities shop for a long time, and seemed to be in a hurry.

After looking at it for a while, he pointed to a bronze statue that looked very old and asked, "Boss, how old is this bronze statue of yours?" ”

Su Xian glanced at it and said casually: "At least fifty or sixty years, this is a masterpiece dug out of the mine by a person who is interested in mining, and a mysterious element in the mine has affected this bronze statue, and its true age cannot be identified by conventional methods." ”

Mr. Nigu stared at the bronze statue for a while, and shook his head with some regret: "If it is only fifty or sixty years, some are too little. Boss, do you have any antiquities from at least a hundred years ago? ”
