The carriage gradually stopped, and Moss pulled the curtain and whispered, "Master Merlin, it's here." ”

Merlin nodded, and he jumped out of the carriage, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, a cold wind blew on his face, and it hurt like a knife.

Merlin hurriedly covered his face with his hands, and at this time, he realized how painful it was for Murphy to sit outside all this time.

"Moss, I'll go in and won't come out for a while, and you'll sit in the carriage in the meantime. ”

Moss nodded slightly with a look of gratitude on his face, and then got into the carriage, where he was blown by the cold wind outside, which was also a kind of torture.

Seeing Moss get into the carriage, Merlin turned and walked in.

In front of the counter is still the charming Xiao Lin, although this time without Anson and Gut's company, Xiao Lin has obviously remembered Merlin, and when she saw Merlin coming, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she respectfully opened the secret passage.

Merlin drove into the passage with ease, and in the passage, there was no cold wind pouring in, but it seemed much warmer.

Soon, Merlin came to the underground hall, maybe because it was morning, or maybe because the weather was too cold, so at this time, there were not many people, and it was very empty.

Nathan didn't seem to be here either, and Merlin was alone, casually strolling.

There is no sunlight in the hall, and all of them are lit by candles, but this kind of candle is made of grease from the body of a strange sea beast in the sea, although it is more expensive, but after burning, it does not leave an unpleasant smell of fireworks, but will emit a trace of natural strange fragrance.

Antiques are placed on stone platforms, surrounded by more expensive transparent crystals. However, Merlin didn't know anything about antiques, and after walking around, he didn't find an antique that could make him hallucinate like the relief, but this also indirectly proved that the relief was extraordinary.

Merlin was admiring the antiques when he suddenly heard a soft footstep behind him.

"Miss Cariss?"

Merlin turned around and found that the person behind him was still an acquaintance, it was the person that the little fat man Gut never forgot, she was indeed very beautiful, she was wearing a white fur coat on her upper body today, and tight cotton pants on her lower body, which set off her slender legs, it seems that women will never forget to dress up, and on such a cold day, they should also wear tight cotton pants to set off their slender legs.

Kelis looked at Merlin with some confusion, it seemed that she had no impression of Merlin.

Merlin didn't mind, but smiled slightly: "Miss Caris, we only met a few days ago, and here I am, I'm here with Anson and Gut......"

Kelis's brows furrowed slightly, and she nodded thoughtfully, "I remember, are you Wilson Merlin?"

Merlin nodded as well, and then took two steps forward, approaching Kelis.

"Miss Cariss, I heard from Anson that you are very proficient in antiques, especially those from the Morta Empire, and I have recently taken a fancy to some very special Morta Empire antiques, but Mr. Nathan has not satisfied me here. So, if Miss Kelis has some special antiques, can you show me?"

Merlin finished speaking, and looked at Kelis. Merlin knew that Kellies had collected a lot of antiques, and perhaps one of them was the mysterious relief he needed.

"Strange antiques? You are just as fond of an old gentleman I know, and he also likes to collect some strange antiques from the period of the Morta Empire, if you have time, I will take you to see it now, and I may be able to find an antique you like." ”

Caris and Merlin were a little close, so the hot breath in her mouth sprayed on Merlin's neck, there was a crispy and numb feeling, and Carys didn't know what perfume was wearing on her body, it was very fresh, which made him feel relaxed and happy.

"Then Miss Lau Carillis will lead the way. ”

Merlin naturally readily agreed, as long as he could find the mysterious relief, even if it was just a clue, he would be satisfied.

Merlin followed behind Caris and walked out.

There was still a little snow outside, and the cold wind was blowing on the face like a knife. Kelis also had a carriage, so she quickly got into it and drove slowly forward.

"Moss, follow Miss Carys's carriage ahead. ”

Merlin woke Moss and slowly followed behind Kelis's carriage.

Since the weather was very cold, there was still light snow, and the road was frozen, so it was a little slippery, and both carriages walked very slowly, and it took half an hour to reach their destination.

Kellies and Merlin came to an old wooden building, and there was a garden in front of it, which was planted with all kinds of flowers and trees, but at this time the garden was very messy, and the small trees that had not yet grown thick branches were all staggered and crushed by the snow.

It snowed all night last night, and the wind was very strong, and a small garden like this was basically ruined, and it had to wait until next spring to replant it.

Seeing that the garden was in a mess, Kelis shook her head slightly, and said helplessly: "Mr. Aita's garden has been destroyed again, poor Mr. Aita, who has spent months in vain repairing his garden, is now like this. ”

Immediately, under the leadership of Kelis, the two walked into the small building, and smoothly went up to the second floor, and came to a faded and old wooden door.

Kelis turned around and reminded, "Merlin, Mr. Aita likes to be quiet, so when you go in, be a little quieter. ”

Merlin nodded, and it seemed that the person she was looking for was in this room.

"Is Mr. Aita here? I'm Kelis, and I'm coming to see you today. ”

Kelis knocked on the door and whispered into the room.

"Squeak".

The old wooden door opened, and an old man in his mid-fifties appeared.

The old man was not tall, a little bald on the top of his head, and only very thin hair, but the old man carefully combed the thinning hair behind his head. He was wearing a black coat, a thin face, a slightly white complexion, and two beautiful mustaches on the bottom of his nose, and the whole person looked very energetic.

Merlin was looking at the old man, and the old man was also looking at Merlin and Kelis, but he only glanced at Merlin lightly, then turned his gaze to Kellys, and said in a hoarse voice, "Kelis, come in." ”

When the old man had finished speaking, he turned and walked back into the house, followed by Merlin and Kelis, who led the door shut.

There was still a roaring fire under the fireplace in the house, and the old man walked directly to a wooden chair in front of the fireplace, sat down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Say, Kelis, what is the matter with the old man who came to me today?"

With a smile on her face, Kelis led Merlin straight to the old man, the glow of the fire in the fireplace shining on his face, making the old man's originally fair complexion a little ruddy.

The old man didn't raise his head at all, but held a thread-bound book with a black cover to himself, reading it with relish.

"Mr. Aita, I'm bringing a friend to visit you today. ”

After Kelis finished speaking, she gave Merlin a look and asked him to introduce herself.

Merlin nodded, then bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Aita, I'm Wilson Merlin, and I'm very fond of some antiques, especially those from the period of the Morta Empire. Today, I heard Miss Carys mention that there are many unique antiques from the period of the Morta Empire in Mr. Aita's house, so I took the liberty to disturb Mr. ”

The old man added some more firewood to the fireplace, and he could clearly hear the "crackling" sound of the firewood burning in the fireplace, and after a long time, the old man slowly put down the book in his hand, stood up, and said lightly: "Come with me." ”

"Mr. Aita has a strange temper?"

Merlin felt that this old man Aita had a strange temper and was unpredictable.

"Shhh ”

Carys apparently knew the old man Aita well, and with Merlin, she followed Aita into another room.

This room is not big, and the three of them are still a little crowded inside, but in the room, there are two rows of huge bookshelves painted with red paint in a very orderly manner, and the bookshelves are not books, but some small antiques.

Some of these antiques are mutilated and some are intact, but unlike the ones Merlin had seen at Nathan, these antiques were unique, like some porcelain, with unique shapes, which Merlin had never seen before.

Merlin, for example, saw a slightly old bottle on the shelf, which had a curved mouth on the left and right, which was very peculiar.

Merlin wanted to reach out and touch these antiques, but the old man Aita next to him shouted fiercely: "Just look, don't move!"

Merlin was a little embarrassed and had to withdraw his hand.

There were about 100 unique antiques on the shelves, but Merlin looked at it, and there was nothing like the relief, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and casually asked, "Is there only these antiques?"

Old man Aita seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Merlin's tone, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that I have collected these things for a long time, why, you are still too little?"

Seeing that the old man Aita was a little angry, Carys hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, Mr. Aita, Merlin is just interested in antiques from the period of the Morta Empire, and he has only been in contact with antiques for a long time. ”

After that, Carys whispered in Merlin's ear, "Don't talk casually, Mr. Aita is a little angry." ”

Merlin nodded, Old Man Aita had a strange temper, so he still didn't talk much, so as not to make him angry.

Although the antiques here are very peculiar, Merlin did not find the mysterious relief he was looking for, so he couldn't help but show a trace of disappointment on his face, shook his head slightly, and said to Kelis, "Let's go out first." ”

Just as Merlin and Kelis left the room, the odd-tempered old man Aita squinted his eyes and stared at Merlin's back for a long time, with a strange look on his face.

After leaving the house, Carys asked in a low voice, "Merlin, you didn't find anything you liked?"

Merlin shook her head, and Kelis was no longer reluctant, so she had to say goodbye to the old man Aita: "Mr. Aita, I'm bothering you today, we'll come back later." ”

At this time, the strange-tempered old man Aita suddenly spoke: "Your name is Merlin?"

"Yes, Mr. Aita, what do you command?"

Merlin looked at Old Man Aita suspiciously.

"Would you like to follow me to learn the appraisal of antiques?"

Old man Aita's voice fell, Merlin was a little stunned, he felt a little inexplicable, why did this old man with a strange temper want to accept himself as a disciple?

Although Merlin did want to learn the identification of antiques, so that he could figure out the origin of the mysterious relief, but for this strange old man of Aita, Merlin did not know the bottom of his heart.

Just when Merlin hesitated, Kelis showed a hint of surprise on her face, and she hurriedly whispered to Merlin: "Quickly agree, Mr. Aita's appraisal of antiques from the period of the Morta Empire can be regarded as an absolute authority in Blackwater City, and it is your luck that he wants to accept you as a disciple, and others can't ask for this kind of opportunity." ”

Merlin was a little surprised, this old man who lived in such a humble house and had such a strange temper actually had such great ability?

"Why? You don't want to?"

The old man was gloomy and a little angry.
