Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh old anchor(1/2)

If you can open a store on the main street, no matter what the store it is, it will obviously not be as narrow and shabby as the "Grandma Tree" bookstore.

Golden Goat Antique Store!

When Tang Qi pushed open the retro door, he saw a scene that suited the store name very much. There was a lot of space inside, about the size of several bookstores, but there was not much space for activities, and it was occupied by various antiques.

Especially for large items like antique furniture, a random number of items can make a spacious space difficult to move forward.

This scene is obviously not what a qualified antique shop should have appeared.

At this time, in the store, besides the middle-aged fat man who was well-dressed and looked like the store manager, there was only one young man wearing work clothes, thin and freckled face, sweating profusely tidying up the messy antiques.

Obviously, this is why the Golden Goat Antique Store is hiring apprentices.

In the final analysis, it is still recruiting coolies.

"This guest, do you need...?"

A middle-aged fat man wearing a handmade suit, monocle glasses, and a magnifying glass in his hand, even though he saw Tang Qi's shabby dress, he did not show any discrimination at all, and he still asked politely.

"I'll apply for the job!"

Tang Qi was not polite, pointed to the job advertisement outside the store and said.

Seeing that it was not a customer, the fat store manager put down the magnifying glass in his hand, and his scrutiny eyes fell on Tang Qi. He pinched the two beards above his lips, and said in a serious tone: "Although I am hiring for an apprentice, I must be the kind of young man who is careful, has read some books, and is also good at communicating with others."

"This is not a warehouse. If you damage a thing, you may not be able to pay for it if you sell it. Especially I don't provide compensation. In addition to giving some teaching, you must create profits for the Golden Goat in order to get some compensation from it."

"I think you're more suitable for a simpler job. If you need it, maybe I can introduce you to a job like this."

It can be seen that this fat but decent store manager is very good at dealing with people.

Even a "cool" like Tang Qi can easily gain favor.

If it was the original John Watson, he should be grateful at this time.

However, this is Donqi.

He looked at the fat store manager without any concern, then smiled faintly, and said, "No, the most suitable thing for me is definitely this apprenticeship job."

"Buzz"

While speaking, a faint red light appeared in Tang Qi's eyes.

A solid hint poured into the minds of the store manager, another store clerk, and several customers who were swaying in the store at this time.

They would think that the next scene was: Tang Qi, a young man, was appreciated by the store manager with a serious and careful attitude and unexpected knowledge. He successfully applied for the job. The name John Watson appeared on the list of members of the Golden Goat Antique Store.

The classic plot from "Shuangwen" is easily implanted into their minds.

It didn't even consume much of Tang Qi's mental power, and "Red" was quickly cast and quickly recovered.

When everyone in the store came to their senses, they saw that the store manager took out a new set of work clothes and handed it to Tang Qi, and said with a smile: "From today on, you will be the second apprentice of the Golden Goat Antique Store. Do it well and you will win the appreciation of Great Arthur."

The store manager's name is Arthur Wilson.

At the same time, this fat middle-aged man is also the director of the only museum in Winston Town.

According to his resume hanging on the wall, he is also an honorary member of the Mihuangzhou Collectors Association. He is among the top ten collectors in Mihuangzhou. He is an expert in antique furniture, pirate antiques, ancient coins, guns and artworks... and other categories.

Just looking at the resume, it makes people feel unsightly.

But considering that he could open an antique shop on Winston Main Street and run a museum, one thing is certain, this is a rich man.

And rich people soon showed their true colors.

After joining the company, Tang Qi was ordered to work hard with another apprentice named "Taylor Wilson".

That's right, the other apprentice is actually the nephew of the store manager of Big Arthur.

It is certainly not difficult for Tang Qi to move and organize antique furniture or other objects. Some of the difficulties are that he needs to pretend to be very hard.

Fortunately, I could use the "body control curse" to fool me. After both of them were so tired that they sweated profusely, they finally had their first chance to learn.

The store manager began to instill some skills in selling antiques in the two, and at the same time threw them a very heavy "category of antique types and related introductions" to each of them. Then Shi Shiran left the store and went to take care of his other property, the Winston Noble Museum.

The reason why the fat store manager left with confidence was that Tang Qi, an apprentice who had just been recruited for only half a day, was left in the store. In addition to the nephew Taylor, there was another reason why Tang Qi was speechless.

The so-called "antiques" in the store are almost all fake.

The only real antique furniture is impossible to move even if someone wants to steal it.

As soon as he left, Tang Qi was about to do something.

Suddenly, something in his arms began to get hot, and Sally's voice faintly passed.

One-way iron sheet!

Sally used the "Shistoric Spell" to change it to a soul phone.

The message she conveyed was very simple. As expected, there was no need to continue classes at Winston High School, but all the teachers and students were summoned.

It is said that because Mihuangzhou sent a very powerful "detective" to ask teachers, students, staff, or some people who attended the party last night to cooperate in the investigation.

To this end, the official is also preparing to send a radio to find passengers who entered the campus that night.

The murder case began to ferment.

Although he was in an antique shop, Tang Qi could still vaguely feel that some housewives coming and going on the main street, passing guests, or store managers and clerks in other stores were all talking about the same content.

Taylor was also very interested and was ready to move, as if he wanted to go out and inquire.

However, he obviously received private instruction from his uncle and could not let Tang Qi, the new apprentice, be alone.

Tang Qi was able to detect this and still didn't care.

Because, this is of no use.

Even at the professional level, he may not be able to see through Tang Qi's illusion curse or "red"; let alone just an ordinary antique shop apprentice.

Tang Qi casually put a little illusion, but his body turned into a shadow and appeared in the warehouse of the Golden Goat Antique Store in an instant.

To be precise, it is the second warehouse.

The first warehouse is also full of fakes. After a hidden portal on the wall, it is the real antique storage place.

Although he is not an antique expert, Tang Qi can still see that the pieces in front of him are well arranged and neatly arranged, the texture is different from the outside world.

But no matter how different it is, it has nothing to do with Tang Qi.

He doesn't care about antiques, he cares about "strange things" that may be hidden in antiques.

This is one of the reasons why you apply for an apprentice.

Are there many strange things hidden in antiques?

This is an illusion.

However, the chance of strange things appearing in antiques is indeed higher.

Especially for antique shops like Golden Goat, which are open in Winston Town, in addition to selling some fake goods to passengers, there are also antique collection projects. Most of the sellers faced by Winston Town are locals. The antiques they took out are likely related to the Earl Corps of that year.

It is normal for Tang Qi to appear here for this association.

"Buzz!"

While walking silently in the warehouse, some hidden antiques were opened, their eyes swept, and their special abilities were activated.

Although there are many antiques in the warehouse, they cannot resist Tang Qi's glance.

As a result, it appeared soon.

The first and only strange thing was reflected in Tang Qi's eyes at this time.

A faint light is flashing.

That one has rust but well preserved anchor.

It was placed in a wooden box without ropes, with a heavy metal texture. The anchor was engraved with some skeletons and sea monsters. Under the rust, some weird black stains could be seen faintly, which seemed to be blood stains preserved for many years.

Tang Qi's eyes gathered, and a strong big resentment, which seemed to be fused with many small resentments, was being released.

This aura is very similar to when I saw the "Sword of Tebat" before.

Sure enough, some familiar pictures are generated the next moment.

【Strange thing: Blood Deer anchor.】

【Status: Scrapped.】

[Information Fragment 1: It belongs to a pirate ship that was once active in the offshore waters of the Federation in the old calendar era. When it was in good condition, it had some extraordinary abilities such as calming tsunamis and stabilizing the hull, but now it is just a piece of broken iron and an antique that can sell for some price.]

[Information Fragment 2: The resentment of all the crew members of the "Blood Deer" is hidden in the anchor. Although they are cruel pirates who are terrified of the news, they are actually loyal to Samuel Winston, who was still a naval officer at the time. Their robbery and killing were all to help Winston accumulate primitive wealth, but in the end they were abandoned and silenced.]

[Information Fragment 3: The crew of the Blood Deer knows some secrets about Earl Winston, but after soaking in the sea for many years, the information fragments contained on it have long disappeared, and there is nothing except resentment.]

...

"Another secret?"

When only one or two pieces of information left flowed through with resentment, Tang Qi frowned.

Once again, he saw words like secrets and silence.

If it was the last time the Sword of Tebat, you can find some explanations.
To be continued...
