Chapter 58: Exhibition 1
The breeze blew through the half-open window and fluttered the white curtains, and the mischievous wind was still not satisfied, and came to the open notebook on the desk, and turned the pages hard, making a soft rustling sound.
Gehr sat by the window, holding a tome in his hand, and studied it carefully.
At this point, Gehr could finally access most of the materials within the Brotherhood at will, and what he was looking at now was the stratification of the power in this world, and the history and sociology in the academy had their limitations after all, and it was only at this time that an unknown part of the world world was revealed before his eyes.
The current power rating is a continuation of the regular military system of the Sefrusa Dynasty, known as the Radiant Empire, some 500 years ago, and has remained largely unchanged.
The first level, civilians, this doesn't need to be described too much, the vast majority of people are at this level.
The second level is people who have received a certain amount of military training, such people are generally engaged in militia, mercenaries and other professions, which are considered semi-professional soldiers, and also include new recruits in the army.
The third level, elite soldiers or veterans, such people who have received complete military training and have some combat experience, this level of strength is the main force of the Sefrusa dynasty.
The fourth level, knights, this is the elite strength of the Sevrusa Dynasty, and it is also the backbone of the army, these two words are not the code names of the troops, but represent a class, a rank that surpasses the category of ordinary people regardless of strength and combat skills, they are the grim reaper on the battlefield, the eternal nightmare of the enemy, and the Sevrusa Dynasty, which had the largest number of knights at that time, was the well-deserved overlord of the world at that time. There is a very detailed set of criteria for measuring whether a person is a knight or not, and there are strict considerations for physical fitness, combat skill mastery, military knowledge, etc., but in Gehr's summary, the average value of physical fitness exceeds 1.5, which can kill ten heavily armed elite soldiers in one go.
The fifth level, the Great Knight, this rank is divided into three small stages, the first stage, the physical fitness has crossed the barrier, the peak period of the body is extended, this level is a lord or general, called the initial stage; the second stage, the physical strength reaches the limit, the amount of origin power is stimulated, and the alchemy magic pattern can be fused on the body, which is called the maturity stage; the third stage, the existence of the door can be seen......
Gehr frowned and flipped back to the information, and found that there was a cover behind it, and there was no more content to record.
Origin Power Quantity, Alchemy Demon Pattern, Gate?
Gehr flipped through it again, making sure that there was no more information to explore, and then closed the book.
But Gehr remembered the author, Charmien Hubbard.
"Although some things are not very vague, there is also a lot of useful information, just to complete the reference of the combat power level, compared to the above standards, the knight rank is just a beginning, my current strength is not bad in this country, but in that unknown world, it is just an ant, like the woman in Garro Manor last time, there must be more than one or two on the other side, especially the Ratchford Assassin Academy who doesn't even know the Iron Brotherhood, I don't know if there is a person with a big knight rank or even higher on the side of the road, and I should concentrate on improving my strength in the future, everything else is a trivial." 。 ”
Writing down a few key names for later searching, Gehr sorted out all the information, stood up, picked up the straight knife, and walked into the cultivation room on the side.
This exotic Vincent Straight Knife was the weapon that had been with Gehr for the longest time so far, and Gehr felt that he should give it a name, so he named it Missing, hoping that it would fill in the lack of something in his heart.
The cultivation room has been slightly renovated according to Gehr's requirements, all the windows in it have been blocked, soundproofed and the door has been thickened, as long as the door is closed after entering, there will not be any light in the room.
Closing the door, Gehr came to the middle of the room by feeling, and as the footsteps slowly dissipated in the echo, the space in the room turned into a dead darkness, there was no space and no time, only self and lack remained, which could maximize his focus on the cultivation of sword skills.
Closing his eyes, the straight knife was unsheathed, and when he opened his eyes, a man in black appeared in front of him, with a slender figure and an ordinary face, some narrow eye sockets flashed with purple light, and he held a straight knife in his hand that was exactly the same as the missing one, like the reflection of Geer.
"Here we go. ”
The two saluted each other, then swung their swords......
......
San Rotalo is the best time to travel after the rain. The rain swept away the dust in the air and went down the ditch into the sewers, making the air in the city very fresh, and pedestrians stepped on the slightly wet pavement to find the items they were interested in, some of them aimed at the Royal Museum on the west side of the city, where an antique fair was being held, and it is said that the last treasures from the Saphorosa dynasty had arrived, and today was the first day of the exhibition, with the participation of dignitaries, including members of the royal family.
More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and after the initial run-in of the team, Geer finally ushered in the first task - to be an exhibition security guard.
Originally, this task had been taken over by other groups, but due to the sudden participation of dignitaries, the security level needed to be improved, and the nine groups that happened to have nothing to do were sent over.
In a large and luxurious hall, the ceiling is covered with hot gold patterns, and the surface is inlaid with a layer of glass, from which soft light is sprinkled into the hall, making the whole space bright and comfortable.
Pillars stand on the ground and connect to the ceiling, and the hall is divided into relatively independent areas according to the different colors of the pillars to distinguish the areas where the different exhibits are located.
In the middle of each pillar is a cube space, the surface is sealed with glass, which contains the more valuable exhibits of the exhibition, and the relatively lower value is placed on the table in the aisle, just surrounded by ropes.
Whether it is a pillar or a booth, there are many people around to visit. Most of the items here will be auctioned after the show, so many people who are interested in collecting antiques will come to see it up close and determine the list of bidders to bid on at the auction in advance.
Dressed in a black suit in the uniform style of security personnel, with a straight knife at his waist, Gehr was slowly patrolling the hall.
He came to a golden stone pillar and stood behind the crowd of onlookers, quietly looking at a bronze spear in the stone pillar.
This is a typical ritual vessel for sacrificial purposes, one-time pouring and molding, the spear body is carved with a variety of exquisite patterns everywhere, and the spearhead is still as bright as new after thousands of years, flashing with a compelling cold.
This is the thing that Gehr cares about the most in this exhibition, it contains much more energy than the crossed broken sword that Gehr has, as long as he stands beside it, Gehr feels as if his consciousness is constantly impacted by the turbulent ocean, if it is not for the consciousness is still clear, he will directly break the glass and snatch the spear out.
The number of the spear was memorized, and it was ready to be bought when it was time to be auctioned.
Now Gehr comes and walks around every day to see how many people are interested in the spear and to hear what their psychological price is.
"That's right, this style should be the ritual weapon used in the Tigana Dynasty, and only the guards around the emperor are qualified to hold it. A young man with glasses who looked like a scholar was a little fascinated and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, I heard that the use of bronze reached its peak at that time, and this pattern, this luster, ......"
"I don't think so, it's more like a ritual weapon of the Briggs dynasty, you see, the compound triangle emblem on the spearhead, that's the representative emblem of the Briggs dynasty. A white-haired old man disagreed with the judgment of the previous young scholar.
"You don't know the way of this, because the Tigana Dynasty was established on the ruins of the Briggs Dynasty, in order to show that they inherited from Orthodoxy, all their ceremonial vessels use the emblem of the Briggs Dynasty, and only their own insignia are used for general supplies......" The young scholar was very confident in his own judgment and did not agree with the old man's statement.
According to the records of the Briggs Dynasty, the rulers at that time were very fond of using live sacrifices as a way of sacrifice, because the ritual vessel at that time was not only a symbol, but also used as a tool for slaughtering sacrifices, and during the Tigana Dynasty, the living sacrifice ceremony began to be completely abolished, and the original role of ritual as a killing tool has been diluted, and this blood groove should not appear again. The old man pointed to the head of the spear and said what he thought.
"This is not a decisive basis, the abolition of the living sacrifice in the Tiganian dynasty was about 30 to 40 years, during which the living sacrifice continued one after another, until the Florian revolt was suppressed, the living sacrifice disappeared completely, you look at the pattern under the emblem, I remember correctly, it should be the most famous picture of the victory of the Levian in the Florian uprising, which is depicted in the famous painting of the Opton Art Museum, A Song of Ice and Fire, so this spear would not have appeared in the Briggs dynasty. ”
The old man looked in the direction pointed by the young scholar, took out a magnifying glass and put it in front of him to study it carefully for a while, and then nodded again and again: "So that's the case, young man, I am very surprised by your knowledge, Xie Lu, thank you for solving my doubts." ”
The onlookers all gave a kind applause.
"And what should be the auction price for this spear?" said Gehr, who, seeing that the discussion was over, interjected to ask about the possible estimated auction price.
It is not uncommon for people like Gehr to ask about auction pricing in the exhibition, they can't determine the price themselves, and often ask some scholars present, so the young scholars don't care, touch their chins and think for a while, before slowly saying: "I think it can be sold within 20,000 yuan, although this kind of ritual is old, but there are not many that have been handed down, and it may not be sold at a high price." ”
"Oh, Xie Lu Xie pointed. ”
Gehr bowed his head in thanks, looked at it for a while, and then headed for another area.
