Chapter 59: Exhibition 2
Standing in the hall, Gehr walked around casually while admiring the exquisite antiques. In the process of walking, Gehr also found several antique weapons that could provide energy, but the energy that could be provided was not much, and the value was too far worse than the bronze spear, Gehr just wrote down the number, if there was extra money, he could also consider buying some of them in the auction, but everything was based on getting the bronze spear.
After turning around the antiques of weapons and antiques, Gehr went to the sculpture section and walked to the fence against the wall.
Shown here is an obsidian statue of a cheetah, which looks rough on the lines, but has a mysterious beauty, as if the statue has vitality, and each carved muscle line seems to be alive.
Seeing this statue, Gell suddenly remembered the obsidian charm he had obtained after killing Blide, which was very similar to the style of the statue in front of him. Due to a series of events that had taken place, the question of this ornament had long been placed in the corner of memory, until I saw this statue.
"The statue of the tribal civilization in the Seven Seas State is beautiful, isn't it?"
Just as Geer was looking at the obsidian statue a little distracted, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
The man who spoke up took a few steps forward between the words and came to Gehr's side, so that Gehr could see the man's face clearly with his head tilted slightly.
It was an old gentleman, with a straight black tuxedo, his white hair combed straight, and his back not bent in the slightest, and he walked up to Gehr and stood still, looking at the statue casually.
"Indeed, it's beautiful. Gehr nodded approvingly.
"The tribes in the Seven Seas worship all kinds of beasts, each tribe will choose a beast as the guardian god of their tribe and make obsidian statues for it, whenever a new member of the tribe is born, they must go to the statue to sacrifice, in order to seek the protection of the guardian spirit, I heard that some children who are favored by the guardian god will be blessed, born with special abilities, and slowly become stronger as they grow older. The old gentleman continued to make an introduction.
"What kind of special ability is it?" said Gehr, curious about what the old gentleman was talking about.
"It may be that the strength is great, it may be the wisdom of the ears and eyes, or it may be the speed of the sky, according to some people who have been to the Seven Seas, but they have not been confirmed. The old gentleman smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Even if there is, it is difficult to prove that it is due to the blessing given by the Patronus, like the ordinary children here also have these abilities, I personally think it is a personal talent." ”
"Well, I also agree that the difference between the individual and the group is inherently a small probability event, but it does not mean that there is none. Gehr continued to agree.
"It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer such sculptures in the future. The old gentleman sighed.
Geer knew what this was for, and he had taught the history of the Seven Seas State in his history class at the academy. The Seven Seas is said to be a state, but in fact it is just a chain of many large islands, with a history of human activities dating back thousands of years, but there has never been a unified civilization on the Seven Seas, and it has been a scattered tribal civilization for a long time.
Since the Republic of Gadjo 200 years ago, after possessing sufficient seafaring skills, he began to capture the natives of the Seven Seas and trade them into slaves. Now with the gradual increase in the impact of the industrial revolution, the domestic thirst for human resources can be said to be to the point of starvation, and after a large number of domestic farmers turned into industrial population, the vacant fields and plantations can only rely on these slaves to fill, so the plundering of the Seven Seas is more intense, in recent years, the tribes on the Seven Seas have been much less, as long as this plundering is maintained, the tribes on the Seven Seas will be completely destroyed in about fifty years.
Gehr said that he did not deny this, and the former Colbenson Collar had also used slaves, although it was not too much, but it was also a profitable party, so naturally he would not pretend to sympathize with it.
"Forget it, let's not mention this sad topic, the tribal sculptures of the Seven Seas are better than rough and mysterious, and if you want to see the exquisiteness of the precipitation of history, you have to look at this. The old gentleman said, pointing to the golden statue in one of the pillars.
Gehr looked over and saw that it was a golden statue of a human, a man with angry eyes and eyes that seemed to be roaring, but at this time, the statue that originally showed anger seemed a little ridiculous, because it was amputated from the chest down, and the two arms that were supposed to be waving were also amputated, just like the more popular armless plaster bust that was cut like this because it was easy to transport.
"This is Hamilton Efsyard, known as 'The Growler', who made the Republic of Gadrow so great. The old gentleman walked up to the armless bust with admiration on his face: "This is a golden full-length statue specially made to commemorate his outstanding contributions, a total of four, but unfortunately all of them were lost in the civil war, and I didn't expect to be able to see ...... again today."
The old gentleman gave Gehr an introduction as he walked, and it was clear that he enjoyed the feeling of explanation, and Gehr followed him with great interest to learn about the history behind the antiques on display.
The atmosphere in the hall was already very lively, and with the old gentleman's explanation, more and more people noticed this, and came over one after another to join in the whispered discussion, and sometimes there were some more fierce debates.
After listening for a while, Gehr left the crowd, after all, he still had a mission on him, and patrolling was his job.
Listening to Prince Fajellino say that this antiques exhibition is a five-year exhibition, Gehr really feels extraordinary in his eyes, not only the number of items on display, but also the quality of the high-quality, Gehr can see the crowd gathered and discussed fiercely every time he passes by a stone pillar.
Some people are skeptical about the accuracy of the judgment, some are suspicious about the value of the collection, and some are ready to contact the owner of the collection to try to buy the desired item before the auction takes place.
It's only the first day of the show, and the atmosphere is already very good, and Ger has heard from Lucarin that the show has become the hottest topic in San Rotaro recently.
"Hello, team leader. ”
Just as Gehr arrived at a new exhibit, Kang, one of his men, came up to greet him.
"What about Iona and Stone?" Ger looked around Kang, but didn't see the other two who were supposed to be with him.
"They said they were on patrol. Kang said with some embarrassment.
Gehr frowned slightly. Among his three novices, except for Kang, who is the worst in skill, he took the initiative to approach Gehr as soon as he came up, and the other two middle Iona had a good relationship with Lucarin, and kept a long distance from the other three men in the group, and had always been alone. The other stone, on the other hand, is pure and free, and his outstanding talent gives him a very selfish personality, and he has never been very disciplined.
And although Kang is very close to Gehr, he also has his own unique careful thinking, anyway, none of these three subordinates can make Gehr worry.
Now Gell had already guessed the outcome, and he walked away without saying anything.
Shifting a few more directions, Gehr returned to the weapons exhibition area.
The weapons exhibition area is the outermost part of the entire exhibition hall, and since most of the visitors enter the inner exhibition areas of the exhibition hall, the people appear to be a little sparse.
Suddenly, the entrance to the hall suddenly began to be lively, and Gehr looked up to see a group of people surrounded by people thinking about the exhibition hall, surrounded by a few reporters, asking questions and writing a few strokes in their notebooks.
It should be those dignitaries who came.
Seeing that the group was about to enter, Gehr had no interest in mixing with such a group of people, and walked a few steps to the side to a corner.
"What a person!" a loud roar came from outside the exhibition hall at this moment. "Alert !!"
Then the sound stopped abruptly, as if it had been cut off by something.
Something happened!
The crowd at the door suddenly became noisy and began to stir up uneasy, and the guards immediately began to move and surrounded the dignitaries for protection.
Seeing this, Gehr also hurried towards the door, his right hand also on the hilt of the sword.
"Lie down!"
Gehr hadn't taken a few steps when there was another slightly mournful roar from the door.
With this roar, a sense of extreme danger immediately entangled Gehr, who fell to the ground without hesitation, and rolled and hid behind a booth.
Rumble!!
A large cloud of golden flames exploded outside the exhibition hall, and after the loud roar, the white smoke spread in all directions with the shock wave, and the screams, wails, and cries for help were connected with the sound of broken glass and the neighing of frightened horses.
All of a sudden, the originally harmonious exhibition hall was in chaos.
