After leaving the library and seeing that it was still early, Dior found a place nearby to settle his lunch, and then found a carriage to sit on.

About half an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Hummingbird antique shop.

After getting out of the car, Dior settled the money to the driver and walked to the door of the antique shop.

At this time, the door of the antique shop was tightly closed, and it was quiet inside, as if it was closed today.

Dior looked up at the store sign, then looked at the crack in the door, and saw that there was no light leaking, so he raised his hand and slammed the door.

"Closed today, please come back in a few days. The owner's voice came from inside the store.

"Open the door, old man!" Dior continued to knock on the door, shouting loudly.

"It's coming, it's coming. Hearing Dior's voice, the tone inside suddenly changed.

Soon a series of footsteps sounded from the other side of the door, creaked, and the door was opened a crack, and without the boss's urging, Dior squeezed through this crack in the door, and then the door closed quickly.

The shop was dimly lit, except for a kerosene lamp on the innermost workbench, which was covered with a lampshade so that the light was concentrated in a small area, so that the light inside could not be seen from the outside of the store.

"Old man, why are you still so sneaky? The agents haven't left yet?" asked Dio, casually as he stepped inside.

"It's going to be chaotic for a while, although the rumors have loosened a little bit recently, but it's better to wait a while for the sake of insurance. The boss Heimer locked the door, listened to the movement outside, and then walked in with confidence.

During this time, the follow-up impact of the Yumu Street incident also affected Haimer's antique shop, especially his kind of store has always been in the gray area, like the origin of many antiques in his store, there is no way to explain the origin of many antiques in his store, and in the process of operation, it is rare to contact some gang-related organizations, so his store has been investigated and questioned by government agents and police during this time.

The tireless Haimer simply closed the store temporarily, waiting for the limelight to pass.

As for the relationship between Dior and Haimer, during this time, Dior went to the antique store to visit and chat with Heimer when he was free. Both of them have a common hobby for antique cultural relics, and one has a novel point of view, the other is experienced, and it is very speculative to chat.

Adjusting to the light in the store, Dior placed a large stack of books borrowed from the library on the table, making a loud noise.

"What did you bring with you?" said Hemmer walked over, picked up the top one, and looked at the cover.

"I borrowed a book from the city library, by the way, thank you, if you hadn't sued me, I really wouldn't have been able to find it there, and I would have troubled you to be my introducer. "The information about the city library was told by Hai a few days ago. According to the regulations of the city library, if you want to apply for the premium membership card that Dior now has that can be borrowed, you must first become an ordinary member for more than half a year or have a senior member as an introducer.

"It's all the little things. Hemmer flipped through the pages of the book at random, and then changed it, "The antiques of the Church of Berhrani are in high demand in the market, but the price is too high, and there is no room for further development, and the actual profit of doing this is not high." ”

"I know, I'm just a little interested in the history of this church, by the way, do you have any antiques from the Dark Ages?"

"How many of them are in the new batch of goods, do you want to see them?"

"Of course. Dior looked a little impatient.

Hemmer grinned, this child's love for antiques had long been accustomed to him, and Dior had real knowledge of antiques, which was why the two were able to talk about it together. It is very common in the collecting world to give the antiques that you are optimistic about to friends who have the same hobby, especially for the affirmation of the value of the collection, which can also be said to be the affirmation of the collector's vision, which is a very pleasant thing.

After making Dior wait for a while, Haimer went up to the second floor, and soon returned to the first floor with a suitcase, opened it and put it in front of Dior.

"Daloca's shimmering candlesticks, gilded guilloché bands, bay leaf pendants, blue enamel bodies, old man, this item looks like the real thing. Dio pulled out his chair and sat down, carefully took out a pair of blue candlesticks from his suitcase, turned up the kerosene lamp, and placed it below to look closely.

"What does it mean to be genuine, this is the real thing!" Hemmer glared at him, "This is a genuine Daroka work from a baron's house." ”

"The real thing is still so well preserved, how can it be sold to you?" Dior expressed some doubts, Daloca's works are all five or six hundred years old, and there are really not many that can be preserved to the present day.

"The descendants of the baron's family are not angry, and the descendants are not as good as the next, and they can only live by selling ancestral objects. In this generation, everything that can be sold is almost sold, and as a result, he is still addicted to gambling and loses his ancestral house to the casino. But the ancestral house is in the countryside more than 50 kilometers away from the city, the location is poor, and it is very dilapidated because of disrepair, and it can't be sold at all. ”

"So you still have cooperation with the casino?" Dior was speechless, the casino is not something that ordinary illegal organizations can open, no wonder he doesn't open a store these days when he sees federal agents wandering around.

"If you don't cooperate, you can rely on your own channels, how can you get so many new goods?" Hemmer gave him a blank look, looking rare and strange.

Dior knew something inside the house about these antique shops, and what Hemmer said wasn't too outrageous.

Putting down the candlestick in his hand, Dior picked up another jewelry egg inlaid with gold and silver jewelry in the box.

"This is Monet's easter egg made by the church as a virgin princess more than 400 years ago, symbolizing health, beauty, strength and wealth, it is said that a total of 108 zuò were made at that time, named Monet eggs after the princess, and the price has been high in the antique market, which is a rare boutique. ”

"Where is Monet's mark? It is said that she left a very secret back door on each Easter egg to engrave her mark. ”

"Yes, you flip it over and look at it...... Be careful...... There's a secret door on the base......"

"The handiwork is exquisite. ”

......

An old man and a young man had a heated discussion around a bunch of antiques, and I have to say that Haimer's vision is really good, as far as Dior has seen, a large part of this batch of new goods is genuine, and the rest are only some doubts, which cannot be completely determined.

Something is good, but I haven't seen what Dior wants to see the most. After the two of them had discussed all the new items, Dio asked, "Old man, do you have any mysterious objects related to witches here?"

"Witches' stuff is really rare, and during the church's rule, anything related to witches had to be destroyed, so very few have been handed down, not in my shop, and none of the other antique shops in our city as far as I know. ”

"So, is there any news about it?"

"This one really is. "I remember when I was younger, in a nobleman's house, I saw a jewel of the eternal secret called Ravenkelissa, a red jewel the size of a pigeon's egg, and I can say that I have never seen a more perfect gem until now." It is said that the origins of a witch of Raven Corissa were burned to death and the executioner picked up and hid from the ashes, and soon after, the executioner who found the gem went crazy and killed all the family, and then burned the house to the ground, killing himself in the fire. Then the gem spread, and everyone who owned it suffered disaster, and it is said that this was because the gem was incarnated by the heart of Ravenkelissa, and all her resentment was infused into the gem before she died, so everyone who owned it was cursed by her. ”

"What about the nobleman you're talking about?" asked Dio, curious.

"I heard that more than 20 years ago, when a family went to sea, they encountered a storm that was rare for ten years, and the ship sank, and none of the nobles escaped. ”

Dio frowned slightly, "So, this kind of witch-related thing will bring misfortune to the master?"

"Not exactly. I have also heard of another piece of jewelry called Thebes Tears, which was made by a jewelry craftsman for his wife, who was blind but had the most beautiful eyes, and this jewelry was what his wife's eyes looked like. It is said that after the zuò was finished, his wife held the jewel and shed tears, which dripped on the jewel and seeped into it, and from then on the jewel possessed a mysterious power, and those who possessed it would gain endless inspiration and become a famous master of the art. However, it is also rumored that this wife is actually a witch, which is why she can give Thebes tears extraordinary powers. ”

"I see. ”

"Whether this kind of thing is bad luck or luck, it is also fake on the market, and there will really be no one to make a move, let alone leak the news, so don't think about it. Hemmer persuaded.

"Well, I see. Dior inserted his right hand into his trouser pocket, touching the cold surface of the pendant, his face thoughtful.

"By the way, I wanted to tell you last time, you are always running alone in the wild now, this is not very safe, as far as I know, some people die for similar things every year, you are a single person, it will be dangerous if you really encounter something. As for how Dior got the three antiques that were sold to him, the elven Haimer had already guessed a ** not far from ten, but he didn't know, "If you need it, I can help you find some partners, all of them have a good reputation in the industry, how to cooperate happily can also form a fixed team, so that the security and income will be much higher." ”

"Thank you. Dio pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll think about it first." ”

"Well, if you think about it, just tell me, in fact, there are advantages to walking alone, and I know some people who specialize in doing this alone, but they all have good skills and a very high sense of vigilance. If you want to do it alone, it's best to train yourself first. Hemmer kindly reminded.

"I know, thanks. Dio nodded, "Speaking of which, old man, do you have any qualifications for 'Deathmatch'?"
