Chapter 298: A 30-Year-Late Distress Letter
Teacher Carter, I really don’t know what to say about you. You have eight hundred if not one thousand collections, but less than one percent of the authentic ones. But what I call authentic refers to the authentic ones that you identified correctly. There are Many things that are more precious than the so-called genuine ones have been identified as fakes by you, and of course there are also some fakes that you have regarded as genuine ones.
Xiaoweier chose the animal skin scroll that used giant text to record the dwarven treasure, the spine of a one-horned python (actually a dragon tailbone), a thousand-year-old gloomy wood (treasure necromancy wood), and a wood carving of an earth goddess ( Contains a wizard's storage bag, the contents of which are unknown), and an antique water jug from 500 years ago that was certified authentic by Smallville.
The kettle will be the experimental product for the next archaeological identification club activity. The other things are all bought by Xiaowei with ten gold coins from thousands of years ago and a real antique ornament. Teacher Carter is slightly displeased with the "fake" Sorry, I insisted on letting Xiaowei take a few more pieces, but Xiaowei, who took advantage of the big advantage, also felt a little embarrassed, so he could only use an excuse to say that he would do a good job of appraising it next time, and take away more valuable good things from the teacher. Teacher Carter laughed out loud.
"This is where most of my net worth is. Although most of it is fake, there are merits without exception." Teacher Carter said proudly: "For teaching, I almost put all my net worth into it." , I love my profession and my students.”
This is one of the main reasons why a teacher in the Delek Senior Academy, a respected teacher, can become the major with the best atmosphere in the Delek Advanced Academy even though he has only a handful of students every year.
Xiaowei was silent, and he suddenly discovered one thing, that is, Mr. Carter seemed to have lost money, but he actually made a lot of money. The authentic products he identified as genuine products can probably offset one-third of his investment, although the identification is somewhat inaccurate. The accuracy and general error rate are not high.
Mr. Carter is a very rigorous person, and he puts aside all the things he is not sure about, and definitely does not say they are genuine products. There are also a few of this kind of things that are genuine products, and the value is not bad, at least much higher than the purchase price. The real ones among the fakes are just the few things that Xiaoville got in his hands. They are worth a lot, enough to offset all the investment of Mr. Carter and there is still a surplus. Well, as for how much is left, we have to look in the storage bag of the wizard. There's something good about it.
This seems to be a very good method. Xiaowei touched his chin and went to the black market every month. Although he covered his appearance and concealed his figure, he made money most of the time when he went to the black market. People are targeted, especially if they can avoid the traps of those people most of the time, this is very problematic. Now that I am optimistic about something, I have to ask others to buy it for me, otherwise I will be yelled at by the other party.
So can I change my identity now? Teacher Carter’s students, according to Teacher Carter’s method, if it’s true, it’s true, if it’s fake, it’s fake. I also buy the fake ones, and even buy them more actively than the real ones. The reason is very good: for teaching!
"Mr. Carter, after a few more archaeological appraisal activities, I plan to take them to the black market to see them. Do you want to lead a team?" Xiaowei suddenly made a request.
Carter froze for a moment and hesitated slightly, "This is not good, I'm afraid they will lose control and be tempted."
"It's very simple. Let them each bring a notebook. With us following the whole process, each person chooses three items and bargains with the owner and finally refuses to buy. We explain to them one by one afterwards and let them know that they should have lost money. Just pay as much as you want." Xiaowei's words made Teacher Carter's eyes light up, and this seemed to be okay.
"What if they are really sure?" Mrs. Carter asked back, Xiaowei shook his head slightly and said: "Our purpose is to only buy elephants,
Don't buy it really, it's really too expensive and not suitable for teaching. "
Mrs. Carter has black lines, and the relationship is really to hone them, but it is still very good to deal with it this way, "Will this cause dissatisfaction among those black market dealers?"
"It doesn't matter, we have a lot of people and we are in the name of Delake Senior Academy. They dare not do anything to us. At worst, just bring a security officer from the security department of the city hall to go there. I still have this means " Xiaoville was full of confidence, but Carter could only give a thumbs up. You are amazing, and you bring your own law enforcement officers so that those people don't dare to mess around casually.
Since joining Wanshiwu, Xiaowei spends less and less time at home, even not at home for breakfast and dinner, which makes Mojiesi and Xiaoweiya quite dissatisfied, but Leya doesn't care, she will always follow Xiaowei anyway. Now she is also a nominal first-level clerk in the master house, and she has her own salary, but she rarely performs tasks, and the treatment of her companions is also free, which makes her very unhappy.
You must know that there are rich women and millionaires everywhere in Master House, but I belong to the middle and lower classes. Although I have a job in the youth activity center, my job is far inferior to that of Guai Liluo, and my salary is naturally less.
It was rare for Xiaowei to go home early today, which made Mojiess and Xiaowei very happy. Wizard Starshan also showed approval, but he glanced at Xiaowei meaningfully. There must be something wrong with this kid, otherwise he would not So cute. Moreover, this kid actually brought back a lot of food from the Wan Shi Wu Wu, which made Xiao Wei Ya's belly round, and Mojies was full of praise. Only Xiao Weier and Leiya felt good and got used to eating.
"Tell me, come back so early today, do you need me for anything?" Wizard Starshan is very confident, this kid is definitely looking for him, because there is no need to do this to please Mojies.
Xiaowei shook his head lightly and said, "Grandpa guessed wrong, this time I'm looking for my mother."
Speaking of which, he took out a wood carving and put it on the table. The wood carving is very exquisite, but overall it is just average. The wood is not expensive, and the style is also the style of the human race. Although it is good, it cannot reach the level of a master. , If you take it out and sell it, it is not worth a few gold coins.
There must be something wrong with this wood carving, otherwise this kid wouldn’t be so grand. Wizard Starshan went down with an identification technique, then nodded clearly, and turned his eyes to Mo Jiesi, who immediately understood after a moment: “The identification technique is just , Did my father underestimate me too much?"
As she said that, an identification technique also came, but the result of the identification made her a little dissatisfied. Although the materials and techniques were identified, there was nothing abnormal.
No abnormality is the biggest abnormality, Mojiesi frowned, looked at the wood carving carefully, but found nothing, and said casually: "My dear Leiya, come and help mom see if this wood carving is right. There's something queer about it, no one in the family knows as much about plants as you do."
"Okay, mom." Leiya didn't resist calling Mojies her mother at all. Isn't it normal for a future mother-in-law to call her mother?
But Xiaowei could only roll his eyes in protest, well, you two are mother and daughter, I am an outsider, I picked it up on the side of the road, and ordered takeaway to buy bread as a gift, but Mojies obviously found the wrong person, No matter how reasonable Leiya analyzed this piece of wood, it was just an ordinary piece of wood.
Sure enough, Leia's conclusion did not satisfy Mojies, but this was the truth, Mojies looked at her son and father suspiciously: "You are not kidding me, are you?"
"My lord, do you think I have the guts? What I want my mother to help is not the wood carving, but the things inside the wood carving." If Xiaowei pointed out something, Mojies immediately understood that the things inside the wood carving, That is to say, this is a hollow wood carving? Knocked, did not hear a very clear echo, is it really hollow?
"Try using the door opening technique directly." Wizard Starshan reminded, although it seems to be seamless, there is actually a small door hidden, but this small door is placed at the bottom, and it is very solid, ordinary people can't find it Yes, the profession only discovered some ways after the appraisal.
"Door opening?" Mojies was slightly taken aback, why not scouting? But since my father said so, let’s try it. After a simple door opening technique, there will be a soft "click" sound at the bottom of the wood carving, and it will fall off neatly. Folded with a small bag.
"Storage bag?" Mojies was a little surprised.
Si Dashan nodded affirmatively, "Ordinary woodcarvings require door opening skills to open, and ordinary handwork cannot be opened or assembled. Isn't it normal that there is a wizard's storage bag hidden inside? It should be a Unowned storage bag, open it and have a look."
"Hee hee, I've wanted a storage bag for a long time, but my father has been refusing to prepare it for me. Now I finally have my own storage bag. Let me see how big it is." Acknowledging the Lord, and then couldn't help but let out an exclamation, which made Wizard Starshan and Xiaowei a little curious, what could make Mojies react in such a way?
Mojies blinked mischievously, and a gorgeous wizard robe appeared on her body with a wave of her hand. It was a mid-level wizard weapon, a wizard robe that can only be worn by formal wizards, and then a magic wand appeared in her hand. The fluctuations show its extraordinary.
More than 200 magic stones, 2 diaries, more than a dozen other materials, more than 20 pieces of joyful clothes (for women), three magic accessories (primary witchcraft level), more than 3,000 ordinary gold coins, and finally one A map and a suicide note.
"This is something like a drifting bottle that was released through a narrow underground river after a wizard was trapped underground. It contained most of her wealth. This is a female third-level wizard apprentice of the Traveler School. I have been trapped for about 30 years, and the place where I was trapped is actually in Mabster County." Mojiess couldn't help shaking her head slightly, it is basically impossible for a third-level wizard apprentice to survive, after all Thirty years have passed.
"Mabster County is the territory of a foreign race. How did she go to that place? Thirty years ago, our family hadn't moved here. Maybe Wizard Kendall will know some details. Don't move the things inside, tomorrow I'll go and ask." Wizard Starshan suspects that the wizard of the Traveler School probably came out of Draek City, after all, this is the closest place to the Wizard Islands, and it was also after the negotiations between human wizards and alien wizards. , the mouth of the human race, Mabster County has become a concentration of alien races.
