Lord of the Secret Art!

In the late autumn morning, the Kalmar Street, which has a modern European style, is already quite lively.

There are armored wagons that carry goods like wagons.

There are horse-drawn carriages that carry passengers like taxis.

There are luxuriously decorated private carriages pulled by solid-colored haired horses, just like luxury cars.

There are men and women walking on both sides of the street, eager to go to work.

There are housewives who have gone out to buy food and are returning home holding paper bags containing food.

There are newsboys carrying cloth bags on their shoulders and hawking.

...

After having breakfast, Feilin pushed open the door of "Feilin's Appraisal Office", and this was what he saw.

It has been twenty years since I watched such a scene, but Flynn still feels unreal, as if in a dream.

Flynn has a secret in his heart, his soul is not from this world, but from a blue planet.

It's just that, unlike many previous traversers, he has not been able to awaken Goldfinger, at least for now.

Although he doesn't have a golden finger, he has successfully learned a skill by virtue of his precocious wisdom.

At the age of twenty, he had his own jewelry and antique appraisal laboratory, which could earn about 4 gold pounds per week.

1 gold pound is equal to 20 shillings, 1 shilling is equal to 12 pence, and 1 penny is roughly equal to about 4 yuan in the previous life.

Calculated, his monthly income is roughly equivalent to about 15,000 in his previous life.

In Conston City, there are not many people whose income can reach this level. Although it is not enough compared to the top, it is more than the bottom, and it has properly reached the upper middle.

Today, he didn't wear his usual formal clothes, but a black suit.

Black represents solemnity and mourning, which is the dress requirement for funerals.

He put down his work and was going to a funeral.

I bought a bouquet of white chrysanthemums at a flower shop, and took a taxi to the cemetery outside the city.

An hour later, the carriage stopped at the cemetery outside the city.

A place in the cemetery had already gathered a lot of people in black, and Flynn walked towards that place.

After approaching, among the people in black, Flynn saw some acquaintances, and these acquaintances also recognized Flynn.

However, both sides just nodded slightly and did not greet each other loudly, because it was not a suitable occasion.

At one location in the cemetery, a rectangular earth pit has been dug and a tombstone has been erected.

On the tombstone, the name and life experience of the owner of the tomb are engraved.

The owner of the tomb is Ray Romano, an archaeologist who devoted his life to digging out the truth of history and made outstanding contributions to the archaeological community.

Numerous outstanding students have been cultivated and many outstanding talents have been sent to the archaeological field.

"teacher……"

Flynn muttered softly, and the image of a skinny little old man couldn't help appearing in his mind.

He is one of Ray Romano's many students, and his knowledge of jewelry and antique identification was taught by Ray Romano.

He was under the care of Ray Romano from the learning of jewelry and antique appraisal knowledge, as well as the opening of the appraisal office.

It is precisely because of Ray Romano's care that he can own a store of his own at such a young age.

One after another, some more people arrived, some of whom Feilin knew and some of whom Feilin didn't know.

At ten o'clock, a plate-armored carriage drove slowly. Inside the carriage was a coffin covered with cloth, and Ray Romano's body was lying in the coffin.

After the carriage came Ray Romano's relatives, including his son, his daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter.

As for his wife, she had died long before him.

Everyone faced the coffin, and an old man of considerable status stood in front of the coffin, reciting a eulogy.

"Mr. Ray Romano is a great archaeologist. During his lifetime, he has been working on..."

If we say the biggest difference between this world and the previous life in modern Europe, it is that there are no churches or priests in this world, and all religious beliefs are not allowed.

But anyone who believes in religion will be regarded as a cultist and will be wanted and arrested by the kingdom. Therefore, it is not the priest who recites the eulogy, but an old man with a high status.

After reading the eulogy, the coffin was buried, and everyone came forward to offer white flowers to express their condolences.

The funeral was over at this point, and everyone dispersed one after another. Flynn didn't leave immediately, but stayed behind.

After the funeral attendees had largely left, he approached Ray Romano's son, Josie Romano, and yelled.

"Mr. Romano."

"You are my father's student, what's the matter?"

Josie Romano's eyes were slightly red, and when he saw Flynn who came forward, he asked.

"Yes, I am a student of Teacher Romano."

Flynn hesitated and asked.

"When I saw you some time ago, the teacher was still in good health, why did you suddenly...?"

"He died of an illness during an archaeology not long ago."

Josie Romano was depressed and said in a low voice.

"How could this be... Isn't the teacher not going to the tomb now, why is he going to the tomb again?"

Knowing the cause of the teacher's death, Fei Lin couldn't help feeling even more sad, because the teacher's death could have been avoided.

"It was a tomb from the imperial period, which is of great archaeological value. My father was worried about handing it over to others, so he went down to the tomb."

Josh Romano sighed.

"Imperial tombs?"

Flynn's expression was startled. Some teachers who understood that they had not gone down to the tomb, why did they go down to the tomb again.

In this era, the Kingdom of Heidelberg, the Kingdom of Ercano, and the Kingdom of Porto, where he lives, stand together, which is called the Kingdom Period.

Before that, about 600 years ago, there were many principalities, and there were dozens of principalities, large and small, which was called the principality period.

Going forward, about a thousand years ago, there was only one empire, which was called the empire period.

It was an extremely powerful empire that ruled the territory of the three major kingdoms today, and the history of its rule lasted for thousands of years.

But such a powerful country suddenly collapsed one day.

Its demise has also become the biggest unsolved mystery in the archaeological world, and it has become a history that almost all archaeologists want to explore.

Teacher, as an archaeologist, how could he resist going down to investigate such a tomb?

"Shortly after going to the tomb, one of them coughed up blood and died soon after."

"Father and the others sensed something was wrong and left the tomb immediately."

"But even leaving immediately did not save their lives."

"Like the previous person, they also developed symptoms of coughing up blood one after another."

"Although the pharmacist was invited, the pharmacist was helpless, and they died one after another not long after."

Josie Romano said sadly.

"Teacher, did they come into contact with something poisonous in the tomb?"

Flynn asked with a frown.

In the tomb, due to the long-term closure and decay, highly toxic substances can easily be bred.

Although live poultry will be used to detect the tomb, it cannot be completely avoided.

Because some toxic substances are not gases at all, it may be moss on the wall, or it may be some kind of invisible mold.

"have no idea."

Josie Romano shook her head sadly.

"Please forgive me!"

Flynn comforted Josie Romano and left after a long time.

In late autumn, the sky is gray and there is no sunlight. It is clearly daytime, but it seems to be evening.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

At this time of year, many trees in the cemetery have lost all their leaves.

A few crows, all black and ominous, stood on the bare branches, making piercing and even piercing voices.

Their blood-red eyes stared down at the cemetery below, without blinking.

Obviously there is no one, but they seem to see some "people".

...

The next morning, Flynn, who had been closed for the day, started working.

The job of an appraiser, like its name, is to appraise jewelry and antiques.

Most of them are entrusted to go to the home of a certain wealthy businessman or a certain nobleman to conduct professional appraisal of antique jewelry for them.

Leaving from the home of a wealthy businessman, Flynn returned to the appraisal office in a rented carriage.

"The teacher's residence is just ahead..."

Passing a street, Flynn looked at a place.

As Ray Romano's student, he went to Ray Romano's residence, and Ray Romano's residence was located on this street.

"Well, what's going on, why are there police officers in front of the teacher's house?"

Several people in police uniforms appeared in front of the teacher's house, and the teacher's son, Josh Romano, was talking to them.

His intuition told him that something bad might happen.

As Ray Romano's student, he naturally couldn't turn a blind eye, and quickly asked the coachman to stop the carriage in front of Ray Romano's door.

"Mr. Romano, what happened?"

Looking at Josh Romano, Flynn asked.

"The cemetery guard discovered this morning that my father's tomb had been dug up and his body was gone."

Josie Romano said with an ugly face.
