Chapter 303: Aztec Gold Coins
The clean and bright windows are filled with items ranging from fine porcelain from the Orient and pottery from Native American tribes, and although some of the cabinets look a little empty, it is understandable to know that the store has only been open for less than a week.

Dressed in a crisp and breathable robe, Romon casually took a duster to clean some dust from the window, as if he really was an antique shop owner who loved his treasures.
"After all, the small store has just opened, and my personal vision is relatively high, and I will not buy some items that I don't look at...... here."
Facing the complaints of the customers in front of him about the number of goods in the store, Romon had a friendly smile on his face, which made people feel good, and Elizabeth, who had just walked into the store, heard Romong's explanation, looked at the internal environment of the store, and nodded subconsciously, obviously agreeing with Romong's explanation.
After the middle-aged couple who had just talked left, Romon walked over to Elizabeth, who had been wandering around the shop for a while, still asking in a friendly voice.
"Welcome, beautiful young lady, I wonder if you want to sell some antiques, or do you want to buy some nice goods from me to use as decorations for your home?"
Sure that Romon's eyes were really as mysterious as they were rumored, Elizabeth narrowed her crescent-like eyes in contentment, as if she had fulfilled her own wish.
But it was only in the blink of an eye, Elizabeth recovered, thinking of her goal today, Elizabeth did not directly say what she meant, the girl who had just begun to develop straightened her small breasts, and rolled her eyes slyly, but a gesture of concern for Romone.
"I don't know what criteria you use to buy items, sir, I haven't seen any appraisers or anything like that in you, so don't you worry about being deceived by someone selling you a fake?"
Chuckling and shaking his head, Romon looked into Elizabeth's lovely and agile eyes, stretched out his index finger and pointed at his own eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up in a mysterious arc.
"No one can fool my eyes, at least so far......"
Elizabeth seemed to be infected by Romon 's confident smile, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, before blinking her eyes twice, calming her suddenly accelerated heartbeat, and letting out a burst of laughter like silver bells.
"Sir can have such self-confidence, I'm afraid that in addition to excellent eyesight, sufficient knowledge is also the capital that you can have such self-confidence, right?!"
"Your compliments make me feel ashamed, and I am just an insignificant shrimp in the endless ocean of knowledge. But your way of complimenting my wisdom really makes me feel happy, and in return, Miss, you will get a 7% discount on the items you buy in the small shop today, you must know that this is the first discount since the opening of the small store!"
"Huh...... Your shrewdness is equally commendable, but I'm sorry I'm not here to buy something today......" Covering her mouth with her little hands in white lace gloves, Elizabeth said what she meant, "Actually, I wanted to ask the knowledgeable gentleman, do you know the origin of such a thing?"
Not feeling disappointed that there was no business, when Elizabeth took out a gold coin from her hat, a flash of understanding flashed in Romon eyes, he already knew the identity of the girl in front of him......
His gaze shifted from Elizabeth's delicate face to the gold coin, and a solemn look flashed in Romon's eyes, and he nodded towards Elizabeth and said with a serious face.
"If you want to know the origin of this coin, please come in, for here you may always have guests come in and hear some secrets that they should not have known. ”
Elizabeth hesitated slightly, showed a hint of determination on her slightly immature face, nodded to Romon who was waiting for a response, and walked towards the room in the depths of the store.
"Wren, if you come back, go and take care of the store for me, don't let the thieves who don't have long eyes stain my floor!"
It seemed that Romon just shouted casually, and Elizabeth saw a young blond man who came out of nowhere and made a strange etiquette to the boss, took the feather duster handed to him by the boss, and walked towards the shop behind him.
"It turns out that this owner is not the only one in this shop......
With inconsequential matters in her mind, Elizabeth clutched the gold coin in her hand tightly and followed Romon as she walked inward.
A stylish room, Elizabeth's first thought when she stopped after a minute, a delicate little round table, comfortable chairs, and a few small knick-knuckles, all of which made Elizabeth feel that this was a nice place.
After motioning for Elizabeth to sit down, Romon prepared some black tea, and soon came to sit down opposite Elizabeth, and stretched out his right hand to Elizabeth.
"Can I take a closer look at this coin?"
After staring into Romon's geared and pointer-like eyes for a few seconds, Elizabeth reached out and put the gold coin in her hand into Lomon's palm.
After carefully scrutinizing it, Romon recalled the records in the nautical travelogue collected in the past few days, combined with his previous memories, and put the gold coin back into Elizabeth's palm, before he said lightly.
"You can call these gold coins 'gold Aztec coins' because their origins are closely related to the long extinct Aztecs. ”
Greeting Elizabeth's curious eyes, Romon continued.
"In order to avoid the extinction of their tribe under the muskets and cannons in the hands of Hernando Koster, the Aztecs looted the gold of the entire tribe to create these gold coins, and the skull pattern on them was specially printed to cater to Hernando Koster's preferences, in an attempt to exchange gold coins for the survival of the tribe. ”
However, Hernando Coste, after receiving the gold coins, did not withdraw as agreed, but was stimulated by these gold coins, believing that the Aztec tribe had more wealth in it, and led his sailors to destroy the Aztec tribe. ”
However, greed, while the driving force of human progress, can also bring misfortune, and the Aztecs, who had long been wary of it, used small tricks on gold coins that could be exchanged for goods and enjoyment as long as Hernando Coster withdrew. ”
"And if Hernando Coster breaks the agreement, then the gold coins will be stained with a curse, and anyone who takes them out will be haunted by the curse......"
The last account of Hernando Coste is that he was shipwrecked on a voyage after the destruction of the Aztec tribes. ”
