Chapter 8 Relief

[After going up for a while, the 12th place was exploded, so depressing! Let's work harder to vote and collect, the gap is not big, let's help Laoyue up! 】

Inside the carriage, soft plush animal skins were padded on the wooden benches, which made people feel very warm in the cold weather. Although Merlin didn't know the price of the world very well, he knew that this animal skin was sitting under his buttocks. , definitely worth a lot.

Even Merlin, the aristocratic son, had to sigh in his heart, what a luxury! Although the nobles have a high status, they rely on some taxes in the territory. In terms of wealth, the Wilson family is far inferior to the Dougland family.

Sitting in this ultra-luxurious carriage was really enjoyable. It didn't take long for them to arrive at their destination, and the carriage gradually stopped.

"Okay, get out of the car."

Anson was already eager to get out of the car.

After getting off the bus, they came to a small shop. The shop looked empty, and there were only some handicrafts on the shelves.

Merlin was not familiar with this place, and even if he had doubts, he would not say it, but followed closely behind Anson and Gut.

Anson and Gut seemed to be familiar with each other, and the two walked directly to the counter. In front of the counter, there was a young woman dressed in scantily attire. When they saw Anson and Gut, a smile appeared on her face.

"Master Anson, Master Gut."

The young woman clearly knew Anson and Gut.

"Okay, let's go in. I heard that your boss has brought in some new products recently?"

Anson rubbed his hands together and asked the exposed woman.

"Yeah, our boss has recently bought a new batch of goods, including some fine products, to ensure that Master Anson and Master Gut are satisfied." The young woman said while pressing something under the counter. The wall actually began to turn, revealing a dark passage inside.

"Xiao Lin, let this young master see if you have grown up recently?"

Gut came to this girl named Xiaolin and stretched out a fat hand, which went straight into the girl's chest and rubbed it hard.

"Fat man, let's go."

Seeing Gut not following in front, Anson shouted urgingly.

"Hey, it's here."

Gut took out his fat hand, stretched out his hand and threw it, a golden coin was thrown into Xiaolin's hand, and then Gut followed Ansen's footsteps and entered the dark passage.

The passage was a little dark at first, but after a few steps, you could see the fire. It turned out that there were candles on both sides of the passage, illuminating the passage.

Merlin squinted his eyes and looked forward, and found that the passage had always been sloping downward, and it was about seven or eight meters deep into the ground. This tunnel was dug deep enough.

After walking 100 meters, finally, some voices appeared in front, accompanied by some exclamations, An Sen's footsteps obviously accelerated a lot, and he quickly passed the passage.

At the end of the passage, there is an extremely spacious hall, about the size of two football fields. There are not many people in it, but they are all standing together in twos and threes, facing some antiques placed in the hall.

Presumably this is where Anson and Gut are coming.

An Sen came to the hall, looked around, and then saw a middle-aged man in black walking up quickly: "Master Ansen, Master Gut,

You are a little late today. "

An Sen's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Nathan, are all the good things sold out?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Of course not, but it's almost there, let's go, Miss Kelly in front is admiring this batch of new products."

"Oh? Miss Kelly is here too?"

Gut's fat face showed a hint of joy.

"It's not too long ago."

After a while, the middle-aged man took Merlin and the others to a secluded room. In this small room, there were five or six young men and women, whispering something around some antiques on the shelves.

"Hi, Miss Kelly, you came so fast."

As soon as Anson entered the door, he greeted a woman in a green dress and short curly golden hair.

Gut also stepped forward quickly, staring straight at Kelly.

Kelly frowned slightly. When looking at An Sen, she forced a smile and said, "An Sen, you came just in time. Come and see this new batch of goods. The quality is not bad."

Kelly also saw Merlin, but she ignored it. It seemed that she was also a woman who was very obsessed with antiques.

An Sen took three steps and two steps, came to the shelf, and looked at the shelves full of antiques, almost all of which were made of jade.

For example, Merlin saw that on the shelf, a piece of white jade almost the size of a palm was actually carved into a fish-headed human body, with a strange appearance of water spouting from its mouth.

There were also some monsters with hideous faces, their bodies covered with spikes, holding iron chains and beating some people in different costumes. This kind of portrait and this carving style made Merlin, a layman, feel very strange.

"Tsk tsk, these are antiques from the Morta Empire period."

Anson has some attainments in antiques, and he can see the origin of these antiques at once.

Kelly was holding a slightly yellow ancient jade, which was also carved into a monster shape, she frowned and asked An Sen: "An Sen, this antique is a bit special, look at the shape, I used to I have never seen an antique like this, but looking at the material and carving style, it is indeed an antique from the Morta Empire period, that is for sure.”

Anson also frowned, obviously a little confused.

At this time, the middle-aged Nathan on the side said: "This batch of new goods comes from the ruins of the Morta Empire, and the things found there are very strange, but I promise, it must be More. Antiques from the Tower Empire period."

Merlin was also looking at the shelves casually. He didn't know anything about antiques, so naturally he couldn't speak. These antiques were really weird in shape. In his eyes, not only did he not feel aesthetic, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

Most of the shelves are made of jade, which is also in line with the style of the Morta Empire. Merlin continued to look down. At the bottom of the shelf, in an inconspicuous corner, Merlin saw a somewhat broken relief.

Yes, the relief, at first glance, was knocked down from the building.

This relief is only the size of a palm, and it depicts a naked man sitting cross-legged on the ground in a very strange posture.

Merlin gently picked up the relief, and fixed his eyes on some of the lines on the relief.

Suddenly, Merlin felt a flower in front of him, and he saw the relief in his hand as if it was "alive". The naked man in the relief was doing a very strange posture step by step.

"call……"

Merlin was startled, the illusion in front of him disappeared immediately, and he still held this strange relief in his hand, and there was no movement at all.

"Dazzled just now? A hallucination?"

Merlin couldn't help rubbing his eyes, and then stared at the relief again, especially the lines on the relief. Gradually, the illusion reappeared. The relief in his hand seemed to be "alive", and the nakedness on the relief appeared. Man, very slowly doing the very weird movement on the relief.

"Merlin, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Merlin felt someone supporting him behind him, he immediately woke up and found that it was Anson who was supporting him.

At this time, everyone looked at Merlin with strange expressions. Just now, they saw that Merlin, who followed An Sen, was holding a relief sculpture in his hand.

"This relief, what do you think it is?"

Merlin hurriedly handed the relief to An Sen. He had hallucinations twice in a row. It was definitely not accidental. There must be something wrong with this relief.

An Sen glanced at the relief over and over, nodded slightly and said, "This relief is also very delicately carved, and it is also an antique from the Morta Empire period, but it looks broken, and there should be more than one such relief, why? do you like it?"

Merlin had been observing Anson all the time, and found that there was nothing unusual about Anson at all, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "That's all? Haven't you noticed anything special about this relief?"

"special?"

Anson looked at it carefully again, then shook his head and said, "It's just a little more unique. I only like the jade products from the Morta Empire period. I don't like this relief."

After that, Anson handed the relief back to Merlin.

And Merlin has calmed down after the previous panic. He is very clear that those just now are definitely not hallucinations, but everyone here seems to be no one but himself can see the uniqueness of this relief. here.

"Am I the only one who can have hallucinations?"

Merlin kept playing with this relief in his hands. Although he didn't know what was going on, it was obvious that there was something wrong with this relief.

"Mr. Nathan, how much is this relief?"

Merlin wanted to buy the relief sculpture and go back and study it carefully.

Nai Sen glanced at An Sen and smiled slightly: "Master An Sen, who is this?"

Before Anson could answer, Gut grinned beside him, patted Merlin and said, "Hey, Mr. Nathan, this is Wilson Merlin."

Nathan's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he had never seen Merlin, Wilson's name was too loud. In Blackwater City, there were only a few nobles, so Nathan could not be unaware.

"It turned out to be Mr. Merlin. Since Mr. Merlin likes it, we will only charge the cost price for this relief, ten gold coins!"

An Sen also attached to Merlin's ear, and said softly: "Yes, ten gold coins, the price is very fair, if you really like this relief, you can buy it."

Merlin naturally believed in Anson, so he nodded, and then took out ten gold coins from his arms and bought this strange relief.
