Chapter 13 Mr. Aita (1)

Merlin was a little disappointed, but he saw Kelly next to him, staring intently at the oil painting on the wall, and obviously liked it very much.

"Miss Kelly liked this painting?"

Merlin asked softly.

Kelly nodded and said softly, "The memory oil painting is the pinnacle of painting art, of course I like it."

"Then why don't you buy it and enjoy it at home?"

Merlin also knew a little about Kelly's background. Kelly is the direct descendant of the Mandy family. The Mandy family is the real head of the Blackwater City. Although it is not a noble, it has been in business for generations, and the business is also spread over several large cities around it. Otherwise, Kelly would not have so much money to buy these valuable antiques.

Kelly gave Merlin a strange look, then shook her head and smiled bitterly, "You bought this oil painting? Master Merlin, do you know how much this painting is worth?"

"Is this painting expensive?" Merlin asked in surprise.

"It's more expensive?" Kelly rolled her eyes and continued: "This oil painting is the treasure of the town hall here. Mr. Nathan also mentioned that this painting is 10,000 gold coins less, which is absolutely incredible. not for sale."

"hiss."

Hearing that this painting cost at least 10,000 gold coins, Merlin couldn't help taking a breath. One gold coin was roughly equivalent to 10,000 yuan in his previous life, and 10,000 gold coins was 100 million yuan. This oil painting was actually worth over 100 million yuan. No wonder Kelly also said she couldn't afford it.

For 10,000 gold coins, even the Douglan family of the little fat Gut, the richest man in Blackwater City, would have to negotiate carefully if they wanted to buy this painting. After all, this was an almost astronomical price.

Merlin was secretly shocked. This expensive oil painting was hung on the wall so casually, and Merlin looked around. There were no security guards in the hall. Wouldn't it be very unsafe?

"Isn't anyone interested in an oil painting of 10,000 gold coins? Miss Kelly, Mr. Nathan doesn't seem to be very well protected here."

Merlin observed very carefully, there were indeed not many security guards in the hall, and Merlin's hearing was very quick now, and he didn't hear any masters hiding around in the dark. In such a relaxed place, he dared to put such precious antiques. Here, it really made him a little curious.

"Merlin, didn't Anson tell you?"

"What does Miss Kelly mean? Anson just showed me casually."

"It's no wonder."

Kelly nodded slightly, then moved a few steps to the side, approaching Merlin's side. Kelly was tall and slender, only half a head shorter than Merlin, she attached to Merlin's ear and said softly, "Merlin, don't look at the defense here seems to be very loose, there are no people, but so far no one has ever beaten him. The idea of ​​going over here, you know why?"

"Why?" Merlin blurted out. He found that Kelly didn't know what perfume was on her body. It was very fresh and made him feel relaxed and happy.

"This is because there is no need for any protection here. In fact, every antique here has a mechanism. If you dare to touch the antique here, the mechanism will be activated. Do you see the only passage? That is from The only passage from here to the outside, once the mechanism is activated, there will be a thick stone gate falling down in the passage, completely closed, who can get through the thick stone gate? So, if someone wants to buy antiques here,

They were all taken out by Mr. Nathan himself, and only Mr. Nathan knows about the institutions here. "

The hot air from Kelly's mouth sprayed on Merlin's neck, and there was a tingling feeling, and the whispers of Kelly and Merlin seemed to be a little ambiguous.

When Kelly was aware of it, her face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly shrank back.

Merlin smiled a little embarrassedly, then turned his eyes to the only passage in the hall, he looked up, and sure enough, there was a huge stone door at the entrance, one meter thick, if it was blocked, who would Can you break this stone gate?

Therefore, it seems that the protection here is loose, but in fact, the protection measures are almost perfect, there will be no flaws, and there is no need to rely on people to protect them.

"Miss Kellys, although there are many antiques here, none of them I like. I prefer those very unique and bizarre antiques, especially during the Morta Empire, just like those new arrivals from Mr. Nathan before. Same."

Merlin and Kelly looked at other antiques again. With Kelly's introduction, Merlin was no longer smeared and knew nothing. However, most of these antiques, especially the antiques from the Morta Empire period, are mostly made of jade, and the styles are very similar, which is very different from the reliefs of Merlin before.

Kelly pondered for a while and said, "Odd antiques? You like an old gentleman I know. He also likes to collect some bizarre antiques from the Morta Empire period. If you have time, I will I'll take you to have a look now, maybe I can find an antique you like."

Merlin naturally nodded in agreement, so he followed Kelly and walked out.

There was still light snow outside, and the cold wind blew on his face like a knife. Kelly also had a carriage, so she quickly got into the carriage and drove forward slowly.

"Moss, follow Miss Kelly's carriage ahead."

Merlin woke Moss, and slowly followed Kelly's carriage in the carriage.

Because the weather was very cold, there was still light snow, and the road was frozen, so it was a little slippery, and the two carriages walked very slowly, and it took half an hour to reach the destination.

Kelly and Merlin came to an old-fashioned wooden building. There was a garden in front of the building. There were all kinds of flowers, plants and trees. The branches of the small trees were all tossed, crushed by the snow.

It snowed all night last night, and the wind was very strong. A small garden like this is basically ruined. It can only be replanted in the spring of next year.

Seeing the mess in the garden, Kelly shook her head slightly, and said helplessly: "Mr. Aita's garden has been destroyed again, poor Mr. Aita, spent months repairing his garden in vain. The garden is like this now."

Immediately, under the leadership of Kelly, the two walked into the small building, and went up to the second floor smoothly. They came to a wooden door that had faded and looked very old.

Kelly turned back and reminded: "Merlin, Mr. Aita likes to be quiet, so after entering, be a little quieter."

Merlin nodded, it seemed that the person Kelly was looking for was in this room.

"Is Mr. Aita here? I'm Kelly, and I'm here to see you today."

Kelly knocked on the door and whispered into the house.
