The carriage stopped, and Mosla drove the curtain, whispering, "Master Merlin, here."
Merlin nodded, 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 her face with her hands. At this time, he knew how painful Moss was sitting outside.
"Moss, I won't come out for a while and a half, and you'll sit in the carriage during this time."
Moss's face was grateful, and he nodded slightly. Even if he got into the carriage and was blown by cold wind outside, it was also a kind of torture.
Seeing Moss got into the carriage, Merlin turned around and walked in.
The charming little Lin was still in front of the counter. Although this time without Anson and Gut's company, Xiaolin obviously remembered Merlin. When she saw Merlin, a smile appeared on her face, and she opened it respectfully. Secretly.
Meilin's light roads penetrated into the aisle. In the aisle, there was no cold wind pouring, but it seemed a lot warmer.
Soon, Merlin came to the underground hall, perhaps because it was morning or because it was too cold, so there were not many people in the hall at this time, and it was very empty.
Nathan didn't seem to be here either, Merlin was alone and wandered casually.
There is no sunlight in the hall, and all of them are illuminated by candles, but this candle is made of grease from a strange sea animal in the sea. Although it is more expensive, it will not leave an unpleasant firework after burning. The smell, on the contrary, will emit a hint of natural and strange fragrance.
Antiques are placed on stone platforms, surrounded by more expensive transparent crystals for viewing. However, Merlin didn't know anything about antiques. After walking around, he didn't find any antiques that can make him illusive like the relief, but this also indirectly proves that the relief is extraordinary.
While Merlin was admiring these antiques, she suddenly heard a light footstep behind her.
"Miss Kellys?"
Merlin turned around and found that the people behind were still acquaintances. It was the little fat man Gut who never missed. It was indeed very beautiful. Today she wore a white fur coat and tight cotton pants on the bottom. Slender beautiful legs, it seems that women will never forget to dress up. On such a cold day, they also need to wear tight cotton pants to set off the long beautiful legs.
Kelly looked at Merlin in doubt, and it seemed that she had no impression of Merlin.
Merlin didn't mind, but smiled slightly: "Miss Kellys, we only met a few days ago. Here, I came with Anson and Gut ..."
Kelly's eyebrows stretched slightly, nodding thoughtfully, "I remember, are you Merlin Merlin?"
Merlin nodded, and took two steps forward, approaching Kellys.
"Miss Kellys, listen to Anson saying that you are very proficient in antiques, especially antiques from the Morta Empire. I have recently fallen in love with some very special antiques from the Morta Empire. But Mr. Nathan did not order here I'm satisfied. So if Miss Karis has some special antiques, can you show me? "
After Merlin spoke, she looked at Kellys. Merlin knew that Kellys had collected many antiques, and maybe there was the mysterious relief he needed.
"Weird antiques? You like an old gentleman I know. He also likes to collect some weird antiques from the Morta Empire. If you have time, I will take you to take a look now. Maybe you can find the antique you like. "
Kelly and Merlin leaned a little closer, so the hot air in her mouth sprayed on Merlin's neck, and she felt a tingling sensation. Moreover, Kelly didn't know what perfume was applied on her body. It was very fresh and made him feel refreshed. a feeling of.
"Then Miss Lau Kelly leads the way."
Mei Lin naturally agreed, as long as he could find the mysterious relief, even if it was only a clue, he was satisfied.
So Merlin followed Kelly's behind and walked outward.
There was still snow outside, and cold wind was blowing on his face, just like a knife cut. Kelly also had a carriage, so she quickly got into the carriage and drove forward slowly.
"Moss, following Miss Carlis's carriage in front."
Merlin woke up Moss and slowly followed Kelly's carriage in her carriage.
Because the weather was very cold, there was light snow, and the road was frozen, so it was slippery. Both carriages went slowly. It took half an hour to reach their destination.
Kellys and Merlin came to an old wooden building with a garden in front of which was planted with various flowers and trees, but at this time the garden was very embarrassed and those had not grown thick The small branches of the tree were crooked and crushed by snow.
It was snowing all night last night and the wind was very strong. A small garden like this is basically ruined, and it can only be replanted until the following spring.
Seeing a mess in the garden, Kelly shook her head slightly and said helplessly: "Mr. Aita's garden has been destroyed again, poor Mr. Aita, in vain for several months to repair his The garden now looks like this. "
Immediately, under the leadership of Kellys, the two entered the small building and smoothly went up to the second floor. They came to a faded, old wooden door.
Kelly turned back and reminded: "Merlin, Mr. Aita likes to be quiet, so when you go in, be a little quieter."
Merlin nodded, and it seemed that Kelly was in the room.
"Is Mr. Ata here? I'm Kelly, and I'll see you today."
Kelly knocked on the door and shouted softly into the room.
"Squeak".
The old wooden door opened, and an old man about fifty years old appeared.
The old man was not tall, with a little baldness on top of his head and only thinning hair, but the old man carefully brushed the thinning hair behind his head. He was wearing a black coat, a thin face, a slightly white complexion, and two beautiful beards on the bottom of his nose.
Merlin was looking at the old man. Similarly, the old man was looking at Merlin and Kelly, but he only glanced at Merlin a little, then turned his eyes to Kelly, and said hoarsely, "Kelly, come in."
After the old man had finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the room. Merlin and Kelly were also following. Merlin took the door with him.
There was a blazing flame under the fireplace in the room. The old man walked directly to a wooden chair in front of the fireplace and sat down. A hoarse voice said, "Kellys, let's talk to me today. What is there for the old man? thing?"
There was a smile on Kelly's face, and she brought Merlin straight to the old man. The fire in the fireplace shone on his face, which made the old man's white complexion a little rosy.
The old man didn't lift his head at all, and took care of himself holding a black-covered wire-bound book, which he read with interest.
"Mr. Aita, today I brought a friend to visit you."
After Kelise finished speaking, she winked at Merlin and asked him to introduce herself.
Merlin nodded, then said slightly: "Mr. Aita, my name is Wilson Merlin, and I really like some antiques, especially those from the Morta Empire period. Today I heard Miss Kerris mention Mr. Aita There are many unique antiques from the Morta Empire at home, so I took the liberty to disturb Mr.
The old man added some wood to the fireplace, and he could clearly hear the "snap" sound of the wood burning in the fireplace. After a long time, the old man slowly put down the book in his hand, stood up, and said lightly: "Follow Let me do it."
"Mr. Aita has a weird temper?"
Merlin felt that the old Etta had a weird temperament and could not understand it.
"Shh, keep quiet. Mr. Aita is only a little bit lonely, but he's fine. OK, follow Mr. Aita in."
Kellys apparently knew the old man Aita, and with Merlin, followed Aita into the other room.
This room is not large, and the three of them are still slightly crowded. However, in the room, two rows of huge bookshelves painted with red paint are arranged in an orderly manner. It is not books but books that are placed on the bookshelves. Some small antiques.
These antiques are incomplete and intact, but unlike the antiques Merlin saw at Nathan, these antiques are unique, like some porcelain, with unique shapes, Merlin has never seen.
For example, Merlin saw a slightly old bottle on the shelf. This bottle has a curved mouth on each side, which is very strange.
Merlin wanted to reach out and touch the antiques, but the old Eta beside him sighed loudly and said, "Just watch, don't move!"
Merlin was a little embarrassed and had to retract her hand.
There were about a hundred uniquely shaped antiques on the bookshelf, but Merlin looked away, but there was nothing like the relief. He couldn't help but be disappointed and asked, "Is there only these antiques?"
The old man seemed to be dissatisfied with Merlin's tone, and Shen said, "It's all I have collected for a long time. Why, are you too few?"
Seeing that the old man in Aita was a little angry, Kellys hurriedly explained, "Mr. Aita should not be angry, Merlin is only interested in antiques from the Morta Empire period, and he has just been exposed to antiques for a long time."
After all, Kelly whispered in Merlin's ears: "Don't talk casually, Mr. Aita is a little angry."
Merlin nodded. The old man Aita had a weird temperament and kept talking less. Don't make him angry.
Although the antiques of the old man here are very strange, Merlin did not find the mysterious relief he was looking for, so he couldn't help showing a disappointment in his face, shook his head slightly, and said to Kalith: "We Go out first. "
Just after Merlin and Kelly left the room, the ill-tempered old man Eita squinted and stared at Merlin's back for a while, with a weird look on his face.
After leaving the house, Kelly whispered, "Merlin, didn't you find one you like?"
Merlin shook her head, and Kelly no longer reluctantly, but had to say goodbye to the old man in Aita: "Mr. Aita, I have disturbed you today, and we will visit again later."
At this time, the old-fashioned Aita man suddenly said, "What's your name Merlin?"
"Yes, Mr. Aita, what do you command?"
Merlin stared at the old Eta in doubt.
"Would you like to follow me to learn about antiques?"
The voice of the old man Aita dropped, and Merlin was a little faint. He felt a little inexplicable. Why did this weird old man want to accept himself as a disciple?
Although Merlin really wanted to learn the appraisal of antiques, so that he would be able to figure out the origin of the mysterious relief, but Merlin had no idea about this quaint old Aita man.
Just as Merlin was hesitant, there was a hint of surprise on Kelly's face. She hurriedly whispered to Merlin and said, "Hurry up, Mr. Aita's appraisal of the antiques of the Morta Empire, which is in Blackwater City. It can be regarded as absolute authority. It is your luck that he will accept you as a disciple. Others can't ask for this opportunity. "
Meilin was a little surprised. This old man who lives in such a humble house and has such a weird temper, actually has such great patience?
"What? You don't want to?"
The old man was sullen and angry.
