"What?!"

At that moment, Bradley almost suspected that he had misheard and hallucinated. He bent down and stared at the teller's face, his pupils constricting, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? I'm talking about the number ST101." ”

"That's right, sir. ”

The teller leaned back a little fearfully, turned the book in his hand, and showed him the handwriting: "According to the records, it was just five minutes before you came." There is a permission to directly query the items in the warehouse, and then select it. ”

Damn, someone got the first shot!

Bradley's face turned pale, and he slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Where are the people, where have the other people gone?!...... must not have gone far."

He lifted the teller's collar and questioned in a solemn voice. Soon, he realized his gaffe and quietly shoved a heavy money bag into the teller's hand:

"I'm sorry, I'm getting a little excited. Can you help me find out who the other party is?"

The teller weighed the weight of the money bag, and then let go of the frowning brow and nodded in satisfaction. But soon, as he looked it up, his expression became confused.

"Sir, this is an inter-district exchange. ”

The teller was a little dazed, "The other party sent an exchange request directly from the Holy City, although I don't know why the other party directly named it and asked for it, but this request has been signed and confirmed by Mr. Administrator." ”

Bradley was stunned, his expression stunned.

Did you make a mistake?

Generally, musicians tend to exchange things directly in their location, so that they can at least discern whether the exchange item meets the description and is what they need.

Moreover, how could the other party know that this thing was not publicized in the exchange catalog at all, but only existed in the archives!

"In the Holy City?"

Bradley's expression was full of anger and confusion, and he muttered in a low voice, "Then how did he take the Double Snake timepiece away?!"

"Well, according to the other party's message, this thing is temporarily stored here, and someone will come to pick it up. ”

Hearing him say this, Bradley's eyes lit up, and a hint of cruelty flashed.

He leaned into the counter, shoved a money bag into the teller's arms again, and whispered in his ear, "Tell me his name." I believe that gentleman gave our family a face. ”

The teller hesitated, but finally succumbed to the magic of money.

"Let me see, the other party's name is ......"

He flipped through the records, stunned for a moment, and stumbled out the name:

"Ye Qingxuan?"

Edmund was also stunned: "What?"

He subconsciously looked around the hall, but out of the corner of his eye, he swept to the back in front of the other counter, the familiar, disgusting white hair......

He gritted his teeth and pulled the corner of Labledley's coat:

"Uncle, look there!"

In the musicians' guild, Ye Qingxuan and Xia Er looked left and right excitedly, surrounded by the three stone tablets.

Today is the 17th of August, and according to the agreement between him and the wolf flute, the bounty of the rain master should have been received, and as long as he takes the emblem to any church of the Order, he can take it out.

According to what he knew about the wolf flute, this product was sometimes not very reliable, and the money might be a day or two late. But he didn't expect that this time the wolf flute would abide by the agreement so much and call the money several days in advance.

The amount is 300,000, and Charles is stunned.

With such a large amount of money, if you find a reliable intermediary, you can almost buy a villa in Uptown. If it is used for his studies, he will not have to worry about any tuition fees for five years. If you conservatively estimate it, three years should be no problem, after all, in addition to daily life, the various materials needed for the musician's practice and exploration are also very valuable.

Even with the addition of Baixi, it can support two years. According to Ye Qingxuan's own plan, he did not rely on the funding of the wolf flute. He had calculated his progress, and after two years, he would at least reach the rhythm level, be able to apply for off-campus internships, and take on various tasks on his own.

It's just that he didn't expect that in addition to the money, Wolf Di also mentioned the agreement between the two in the message: once he was admitted to the college, he would give him a gift.

Ye Qingxuan originally forgot about this matter, but he didn't expect him to remember. It happened to be not far from the musicians' association, so he stopped by to see what kind of 'mysterious surprise' the wolf flute had left for him.

Standing in front of the counter on the other side of the hall, he bowed to the somewhat old female teller, "Hello, ma'am, excuse me. ”

"First time here?"

The female teller raised her eyes to look at the somewhat nervous teenager, and couldn't help but smile: "Relax, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Not as serious as expected, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but relax a little and smiled: "I'll pick up something." It must be a gentleman named Wolf Flute who deposited it here. ”

"What is it?" the female teller flipped through the book in front of her and looked it up.

"I don't know. Ye Qingxuan was a little helpless: "It'......s probably a gift, right?

"Any credentials?"

"This should work, right?"

He handed over his ID and emblem. After a while, the female teller nodded, "No. ST101? ”

After a while, she came back again, with an extra box sealed with fire paint in her hand, "You check that it is not damaged, just sign it here." Originally, the first procedure was very troublesome, so I won't embarrass you. ”

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and laughed a little embarrassed.

－

"What is it?" Xia Er, who had been waiting for a long time next to him, was even more excited than Ye Qingxuan: "Now is the time to smash eggs, don't hesitate, junior brother!"

"I'll see. Ye Qingxuan took the borrowed paper cutter and cut the fire paint, and carefully opened the iron box on his behalf.

The palm-sized tin box is stacked with a thick sponge on both sides, and a piece of white silk is lined in the middle, as if it contains some luxurious jewelry.

But there was no jewelry inside, only an unpretentious pocket watch.

The iron-gray pocket watch looks a little old, and there is a heavy sense of weight in the hand. Instead of gemstones and diamonds, which have become popular recently, it is engraved with a delicate relief.

In the silence, two snakes coiled like a ring, one cold and the other frenzied, entangled and killed each other. The relief pattern carries a shocking tension that makes people can't help but hold their breath.

"Just by looking at the decorations, you can see that it's a good thing. Charles sighed: "Come, borrow me to play tricks......"

"Think beautifully. ”

Ye Qingxuan flashed his hand. Following what he had learned in the watch shop, he skilfully flicked open the lid and examined the roulette wheel inside. The hands on the dial were still moving steadily, Ye Qingxuan looked up at the table clock in the distance, and found that the time was exactly the same as the standard time.

He originally thought that someone from the association had adjusted it, but he soon found that there was no knob left on this pocket watch to adjust the time, and if he wanted to adjust the time, he had to disassemble it himself and adjust it directly from the watch movement.

But the seams are still tightly sealed, and it can be seen that they have never been disassembled, and the fine gaps can't even fall into the dust. Ye Qingxuan could only observe its existence through reflection.

In other words, it has not been timed since it was manufactured, and it is absolutely in sync with standard time.

"Amazing precision. Ye Qingxuan clenched his pocket watch, felt a faint tremor coming from his palm, and couldn't imagine how the internal movement worked.

"I'm afraid it's more than that. ”

Charles touched his pocket watch with one finger, and his expression became clear: "There is a ...... inside"

Just then, a voice sounded next to him.

"Can this gentleman take a step to speak?"

The well-dressed middle-aged man appeared beside them at some point, looking at Ye Qingxuan with a warm smile, his voice low. It's just that not far behind him, Edmund's expression is not very good-looking.

Seeing Edmund, Ye Qingxuan frowned, not paying much attention to him.

"I'm sorry, I'm busy, I'm in a hurry. He glanced at Bradley, "What's the matter?"

Sensing that the other party didn't want to pay attention to him, Bradley's expression was still gentle, with a little warmth, and he stroked his chest and apologized: "Sorry to disturb you."

Yes, the double snake timepiece in your hand is a very important thing for me, can you cut love?"

Bradley glanced at him, and saw that he was wearing a coat that was some years old, and his eyes were clear. He took out his cheque book: "I am willing to pay 50,000 pounds for the ...... in your hand"

"Wow! Did you say a zero less?"

On the side, Charles couldn't help laughing, he pushed the young man's shoulder, "Senior brother, you sell it to me, I'll pay 60,000!"

"You!" a fierce glint flashed in Bradley's eyes, and soon disappeared again.

"Is it called a Twin Snake Timepiece? Ye Qingxuan looked at the pocket watch in his hand, "Also, sir, is your valuation a little lower?"

"Fifty thousand pounds for you for a broken pocket watch is already good. Edmund said coldly, "Let us give you alms." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed his uncle's glaring gaze, his expression changed, and he obediently shut up.

"Huh, huh?"

Ye Qingxuan smiled when he heard this, and raised his palm: "The shell looks like iron, but in fact, the material is ancient silver, and the most obvious feature is this rare spot, which has been very rare in the mining of the associated mineral of green gold. The current exchange price of one gram should be around seven hundred pounds. The case of this watch is about 50 grams, and the price is 35,000 pounds.

Although I didn't inspect it, the watch movement with ancient silver as the shell, at least the handwriting of the top mechanics in the West, was temporarily priced at 20,000 yuan. ”

Ye Qingxuan's index finger held the bracelet, and after the pocket watch turned around beautifully on his wrist, he slapped it into his palm, pressed his index finger, and spread out the cover of the watch.

He reached out and groped, and finally stopped his finger at the edge of the cover, smiled for a moment, and then became mocking: "It should be more than ninety years."

Regardless of the rest, with the level of wear and tear above, it should be an antique. Referring to the prices of other items at the Holy City auction during the same period, there is no problem in making a price of at least 100,000 yuan...... If the signature on the internal movement is a famous craftsman, there is room for the price to soar. ”

With the young man's deep words, Bradley's face became more and more ugly, and in the end, Ye Qingxuan raised his head and asked in a good time:

"Are you sure the price of fifty thousand pounds is not a joke?"
