Chapter 36: In the Auction House (Part 2)
I don't know if it was because of the grand auction in September or because the staff here were too efficient, but it took less than ten minutes for someone to come and receive Kira, because the others were not very interested in this kind of thing, and in the end, it was only Kira and Yalu who left with the service staff.
Before leaving, Jesse didn't forget to remind Kira: wood carving! Woodcarving! Don't forget my 500-year-old wood carving!!
After passing through a dark red door, Kira and the two came to a slightly smaller room, where a middle-aged man in a suit and leather collar was waiting quietly, wiping his glasses with a towel in his hand.
Seeing that the guest had finally arrived, he stopped what he was doing and waved his palm to the soft chair in front of the table next to him: "Please take a seat."
"My name is Fit Clear, the auction's three-star appraiser, if you think I'm qualified to evaluate your lot, then we can proceed to the next one, and if you think I'm not qualified, then I can help you summon a more senior appraiser." A glint reflected in Fit Clear's glasses, and he explained Kira in a rather sincere tone.
"If ......"
"Yes, it's enough to have you." Kira interrupted the middle-aged man in front of him, who looked quite gentlemanly, and didn't know how he had cultivated this kind of mind, but in the face of the young guest, he was still able to treat and explain with such a steady state of mind, as if everyone in front of him was the same in his eyes.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, Kira is just to sell what he has in his hand for money, and then buy those items that contain the energy of faith, he doesn't know much about antiques and collectibles, and how much the things he brings can be worth depends on the intermediate appraiser in front of him.
"Alou."
"Yes." Hearing Kira's order, Aru bent slightly, as if to salute someone else.
In Fit Clear's field of vision, the young man in front of him had an unusual temperament, and what surprised him was that after the girl's bowing action was completed, he actually took out a skull with horns on his head directly from under the table!
And that's not all, after this skull, Yalu also took out bottles, paintings, and a few strange things, anyway, as long as Kira was on the collection shelf, oh, and of course, Jesse's 500-year-old wood carving.
After the initial astonishment, the appraiser Fit returned to his original state, and watched unfazedly as Yalu took things out one by one, and when Yalu stopped bending down and bowing ten times, he took out a pair of white gloves from the drawer next to the table and put them neatly on his hands.
Holding up the skull that was in first place, Fit's eyes flashed.
"The skull of the Yijiao clan is in good condition, and the age is more than three hundred years, which belongs to the first level of cherished treasures." Fit glanced up at Kira, who had an indifferent face, and continued: "I was just taken away from here for a lot of money a few months ago, but I didn't expect to be back here now." โ
That's not what happened to Kira's ears.
"Damn, this meow! Spencer bought it from this?? Although he thought so in his heart, Kira looked at him quietly: "Do you still have to ask for the way to sell things?" โ
Hmph, if you don't accept it, it's a big deal to change places, or just find some rich people and sell them cheaply, if the guys here dare to stop it, hehe......
"Don't worry, distinguished guest, it was my mistake just now, as an appraiser, I shouldn't be too big about the origin of the goods, I'm sorry." Fit also realized his mistake, but he was a little surprised.
But since the skull of this Horn Clan is here, then ...... The corner of Fit's eyes swept over the items lined up on the table.
Really! The painting of the wicked woman and the sacrificial bottle that had been auctioned off with the skull were here before his eyes.
Although he was curious in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, this kind of thing was not his turn to worry about, it was good if the thing was real, anyway, it was always the auction house that profited.
As a three-star appraiser of Youkexin Auction House, Fit Clear obviously has real talent, and the nine items were quickly marked with prices in his hands, and when he was about to take off his gloves, Kira's voice came, I don't know if it was an illusion, Fit felt that there was still a trace of embarrassment in it.
"That, this wood carving is also an auction item, please appraise it." When Kira saw that the appraiser was about to take off his gloves, he had the heart to say sorry to McCree, his so-called 500-year-old wood carving had really been directly ignored!!
After Kira's reminder, Fit saw the "unpretentious artwork" in the dark on the edge of the table, and let out a surprised "huh", Fit put on his white gloves again, and reached out to hold the wood carving in his hand. He had to be surprised, this wood carving seemed quite good in his hands, but it was unbelievable that he would subconsciously ignore it when it was placed on the table just now.
Fit flicked the lenses with his hands, the surface of the wood carving expanding in his vision, and he turned it very slowly, often taking a long time to see a place.
Just as Kira had already figured out a reason to comfort McRae, Fit finally looked up.
"I didn't expect it to be his work."
"Yes, yes, it's just a prank to tease you, please...... Wait? What do you say? Kira, who was already about to apologize, seemed to have heard something terrible, what did Fit mean by this, did this wood carving really have a background?
Fit's eyes were full of surprise: "Respected guest, I don't know if it's convenient to tell you where this wood carving was obtained and what happened?" โ
Yes? Kira was stunned by his excitement, what a quiet person he was.
Realizing his gaffe, Fit quickly calmed down his mind and returned to his previous state.
"Guest, in the bottom line of this wood carving, there is a letter abbreviation engraved - Kยท F, which means that this is the work of the famous Kaftin master in the carving world, and I have identified this wood carving of about 500 years ago as a work of Kaftin at that time. โ
What you said is really nice, can you pick it up and sculpt it by a celebrity?
It seems to see the suspicion in Kira's eyes, and this suspicion is an insult to his profession! Fit's mood rose again: "Guest, you may not know that the works carved by Master Kaftin throughout his life were stone carvings and not wood carvings!" โ
