"Squeak".
The old wooden door opened, and an old man in his fifties appeared.
The old man was not tall, and the top of his head was a little bald, with only very thin hair, but the old man carefully combed the thin hair to the back of his head. He was wearing a black coat, with a thin face, slightly pale complexion, and two beautiful mustaches on the bottom of his nose. He looked very energetic.
Merlin was looking at the old man, and the old man was also looking at Merlin and Kelly, but he only glanced at Merlin, then turned his attention to Kelly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Kaelis, come in."
After the old man finished speaking, he turned and walked back to the house. Merlin and Kelly also followed, and Merlin closed the door.
There was still a roaring flame burning under the fireplace in the room, and the old man walked directly to a wooden chair in front of the fireplace and sat down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Kelise, tell me, what's the matter with this old man who came to me today? thing?"
A smile appeared on Kelly's face, and she led Merlin to the old man. The roaring fire from the fireplace shone on her face, making the old man's originally fair complexion a little rosy.
The old man didn't lift his head at all, he was holding a black-covered thread-bound book to himself, reading it with relish.
"Mr. Aita, I brought a friend to visit you today."
After Kelly finished speaking, she gave Merlin a wink and asked him to introduce himself.
Merlin nodded, then bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Aita, I am Wilson Merlin. I like some antiques, especially those from the Morta Empire. I heard Miss Kellys mention Mr. Aita today. There are many unique antiques from the Morta Empire period at home, so I took the liberty to come to disturb Mr.
The old man added some more wood to the fireplace, and he could clearly hear the "crack" 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 me. Let me do it."
"Mr. Aita has a weird temper?"
Merlin felt that this old Aita had a weird temper and was unpredictable.
"Shhh, be quiet, Mr. Aita is just a little withdrawn, but he is very nice. Okay, let's go in with Mr. Aita."
Kelly obviously knew the old man Aita very well. Together with Merlin, they followed Aita into another room.
This room is not big, and the three people are still crowded inside, but in the room, there are two rows of huge bookshelves painted with red paint placed in a very orderly manner. On the bookshelves are not books, but Some small antiques.
Some of these antiques are broken or intact, but unlike the antiques Merlin saw in Nathan, these antiques are very unique, like some porcelain, with unique shapes that Merlin has never seen before.
For example, Merlin saw a slightly old bottle on the shelf. The bottle had a curved mouth on the left and right, which was very strange.
Merlin wanted to reach out and touch these antiques, but the old Aita next to him shouted in a low voice, "Just look, don't move!"
Merlin was a little embarrassed and had to withdraw his hand.
There are about a hundred antiques with unique shapes on the bookshelf, but Merlin looked around, but there was nothing like the relief, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He asked casually, "Is it just these antiques?"
The old man Aita seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Merlin's tone, and said solemnly: "I just collected these for a long time. Why, you still think it's too little?"
Seeing that the old man Aita was a little angry, Kelly hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, Mr. Aita, Merlin is only interested in antiques from the Morta Empire period, and he has just been in touch with antiques for a short time."
After that, Kelly whispered in Merlin's ear, "Don't talk casually, Mr. Aita is a little angry."
Merlin nodded, the old man Aita had a weird temper, so he should talk less and not make him angry.
After looking at the antiques on the shelf, Merlin looked at the yellowish wall. There were also some oil paintings hanging on the wall. One of the oil paintings used bright colors, but there was only a huge black eye in the painting.
After looking at this painting, Merlin was immediately attracted, as if the huge eyes in the painting had a magical power, which made Merlin fall into it.
Merlin felt that the surroundings suddenly became dark, and there was only this strange eye in front of him.
"Merlin, what's wrong with you?"
Kelly's voice rang out. I don't know when, Kelly was already behind Merlin and gently supported Merlin.
"What happened to me just now?"
Merlin was startled and asked hurriedly.
"Just now your face suddenly turned pale, and it seemed that you were about to faint. Isn't it too stuffy here? Would you like to go out for a breath?"
Kelly only thought that Merlin was in poor health and was a little uncomfortable with this room with completely closed doors and windows.
Merlin did feel his head dizzy, but his heart was full of shock, he looked up at the oil painting with a huge eye again, and asked Kelly, "This painting will not be a memory Send oil paintings?"
Kellis followed Merlin's gaze. After a long time, she shook her head slightly and said, "This painting is very ordinary. Of course it's not a memory painting. It's just a bit of a peculiar color rendering, nothing special."
"I'm fine, let's go out first."
Merlin finally held back and did not express the doubts in his heart, because he knew that even if he said it, Kelly would not believe it.
Just after Merlin and Kelly left the room, the eccentric old man Aita took a deep look at the painting on the wall with a strange look on his face.
Kelly and Merlin left the room, turned to the old man Aita and bowed slightly: "Mr. Aita, if I disturb you today, we will leave first and visit Mr. later."
Old Aita narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said, "Your name is Merlin?"
"Yes, Mr. Aita, what are your orders?"
Merlin looked at old Aita suspiciously.
"Would you like to follow me to learn the appraisal of antiques?"
The words of the old man Aita fell, and Merlin was a little stunned. He felt a little inexplicable. How could this eccentric old man want to accept himself as a disciple?
Although Merlin really wanted to learn the appraisal of antiques, so that he could find out the origin of the mysterious relief, but Merlin had no idea about this quirky old Aita.
Just when Merlin hesitated, Kelly's face showed a hint of surprise, she hurriedly whispered to Merlin: "Promise, Mr. Aita's appraisal of antiques from the Morta Empire period is in Blackwater City. It can be regarded as an absolute authority, it is your luck that he wants to accept you as a disciple, no one else can ask for such an opportunity."
Merlin was a little surprised. This old man who lived in such a simple house and had such a weird temper had such great ability?
"What? You don't want to?"
Old Aita looked gloomy and a little angry.
