Silent Crown Chapter 72: Joke
"What?!"
At that moment, Bradley almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, and hallucinated. (Baidu search network is the fastest and most stable) He bent down and stared at the teller's face, his pupils contracted: "Are you sure you are not mistaken? I am talking about the serial number ST101."
"Yes, sir."
The teller leaned back in a little fear, turned to the classics in his hand, and showed him the writing on it: "According to the record, it was five minutes before you came. There is a permission to directly inquire about the item information in the warehouse, and then I chose it."
Damn it, I got listed first!
Bradley's face was sullen, and his fist hit the table angrily.
"What about people! What about people! Where did the others go?! They must not have gone far..."
He raised the collar of the teller and asked in a solemn voice. Soon, he realized his gaffe, and quietly stuffed a heavy purse into the hands of the teller:
"Sorry, I am a little excited. Can you help me find out who the other party is?"
The teller checked the weight of the purse, then let go of his frowning brow, and nodded in satisfaction. But soon, as he looked up, his expression became confused.
"Sir, this is a cross-regional exchange."
The teller was a little at a loss, "The other party sent the exchange request directly from the Holy City. Although I don't know why the other party directly called for it, this request has been signed and confirmed by the administrator."
Bradley was stunned, his expression surprised.
Did you make a mistake?
Most musicians tend to directly exchange things at their location, so that after inspection, they can at least distinguish whether the exchange item meets the description and is what they need.
Furthermore, how could the other party know that this item was not published in the redemption catalog at all, but only exists in the file record!
"It turned out to be in the holy city?"
Bradley's expression was full of anger and confusion, and he whispered: "Then how did he take away the Twin Snake timepiece?!"
"Uh, according to the other party's message, this item is temporarily stored here, and someone will come and take it away."
Hearing him say this, Bradley's eyes lit up, and a sullen flicker flashed.
He leaned into the counter, once again stuffed a moneybag into the chest of the teller, and whispered in his ear: "Tell me his name. I believe that gentleman gave our family a face."
The teller hesitated, and finally gave in under the magic of money.
"Let me see, the other party's name is..."
He flipped through the records, was stunned for a moment, stumbled and pronounced the name:
"Ye Qingxuan?"
Edmond was also stunned: "What?"
He looked around the hall subconsciously, but the corner of his eyes swept to the back in front of another counter, the familiar and disgusting white hair...
He gritted his teeth and pulled La Bradley's clothes corner:
"Uncle, look there!"

In the Musician's Guild, Ye Qingxuan and Charles watched excitedly, surrounded by three stone steles and wondered.
It’s August 17th today. According to the agreement between him and Wolfflute, the bounty of Master Bu Yu should have already arrived. As long as you take the holy emblem to any church of the Order, you can take it out. .
According to his understanding of the wolf flute, this product is sometimes not very reliable, and the money may be delayed by a day or two. But he did not expect that this time Wolfflute followed the agreement so that he would call the money several days in advance.
The amount was as large as 300,000, and the Shire was stunned.
For such a large sum of money, if you find a reliable intermediary, you will almost buy a villa in Shangcheng District. If it is used for studies, he will not have to worry about any tuition issues for five years. In a conservative estimate, three years should be no problem. After all, in addition to daily life, the various materials needed in the practice and exploration of musicians are also valuable.
Even if Bai Xi is added, it can last two years. According to Ye Qingxuan's own plan, he did not rely entirely on Wolfflute's funding. He has calculated his progress. After two years, he will at least reach the rhythm level, can apply for an off-campus internship, and take on various tasks on his own.
It's just that he didn't expect that in addition to money, Wolfflute also mentioned the agreement between the two in the message: once he is admitted to the academy, he will give him a gift.
Ye Qingxuan had forgotten this incident, but he didn't expect him to remember it. It was not too far away from the Musicians Association, so he ran over to take a look at what ‘mysterious surprise’ the wolf flute left to him.
Standing in front of the counter on the other side of the hall, he nodded to the somewhat old female teller: "Hello, ma'am, excuse me."
"Come here for the first time?"
The female teller looked up at the a little nervous teenager and couldn't help smiling: "Relax, what can I do for you?"
Without the seriousness he expected, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but relax a little, and smiled: "I'm here to pick up something. It should be stored here by a gentleman named Wolf Flute."
"What is it?" The female teller opened the classic book in front of her and looked it up.
"I don't know." Ye Qingxuan was a little helpless: "Probably a gift? It's mysterious..."
"Are there any credentials?"
"This should be ok?"
He handed over his certificate and holy emblem. After a while, the female teller nodded, "No. ST101? It is indeed stored here. Wait for me to find it for you."
After a while, she came back again, with a fire-lacquered box in her hand, "You can check that there is no damage, and you can sign here. The first time the procedure was very troublesome, I won’t I am embarrassed."
Ye Qingxuan was taken aback for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly.
-
"What is it?" Charl, who was waiting for a long time, was even more excited than Ye Qingxuan: "Now is the time to smash the egg, don't hesitate, brother!"
"Let me see." Ye Qingxuan took the borrowed paper knife and cut the flame paint, and opened the tin box carefully.
The palm-sized iron box is covered with a thick sponge on both sides, and a piece of white silk is lined in the middle, which seems to hold some luxurious jewelry.
But there are no jewels in it, only an unpretentious pocket watch.
The iron-gray pocket watch seems to be a few years old, and it feels heavy in the hand. It is not inlaid with the more popular gems and broken diamonds recently, but is engraved with a fine relief.
In the silence, two snakes coiled around like a ring, one cold and the other frantic, entangled and killed each other. The embossed pattern carries a kind of shocking tension, which makes people unable to hold their breath.
"Just look at the decoration on the top, you know it's a good thing." Charles exclaimed: "Come on, let me play around..."
"Think beautiful."
Ye Qingxuan flashed his hand. According to what he learned in the watch shop, he skillfully opened the cover and looked at the roulette inside. The hands on the dial were still moving steadily. Ye Qingxuan looked up at the clock in the distance and found that the time was exactly the same as the standard time.
He originally thought that someone from the association had tested it, but soon he discovered that this pocket watch did not leave a **** for people to adjust the time. If you want to adjust the time, you can only disassemble it from the watch. The core is directly adjusted.
But the seams are still tight, and it can be seen that they have never been taken apart, the kind of fine gaps, even dust can't get in. Ye Qingxuan can only observe its existence through reflection.
In other words, since it was manufactured to the present, its time has not been adjusted, and it is absolutely synchronized with the standard time.
"What a great precision." Ye Qingxuan squeezed his pocket watch, felt the faint tremor in his palm, and couldn't imagine how the internal movement works.
"I'm afraid it's more than that."
Charle touched his pocket watch with a finger, and his expression became clear: "There is something inside..."
At this moment, a voice sounded nearby.
"Sir, can you take a step to speak?"
The well-dressed middle-aged man did not know when he appeared beside them, and looked at Ye Qingxuan with a gentle smile, his voice low. Only not far behind him, Edmund's expression is not very good.
Seeing Edmund, Ye Qingxuan frowned, and didn't seem to care about him.
"Sorry, I'm busy, I'm in a hurry." He glanced at Bradley: "What's the matter?"
Feeling that the other party didn't want to pay attention to him, Bradley's expression was still gentle, with a kind of gentleness, he stroked his chest and apologized: "I'm sorry to disturb you.
This is the case. The Double Snake timepiece in your hand is a very important thing to me. Can you cut love? "
Bradley took a look at him, and when he saw his old coat, his eyes became clear. He took out the cheque book: "I am willing to pay fifty thousand pounds to buy what you hold..."
"Pump! Did you miss a zero?"
Beside, Charles couldn't help laughing, he pushed the young man's shoulder, "Senior brother, you sell it to me, I will pay 60,000!"
"You!" A fierce light flashed in Bradley's eyes, and soon disappeared.
"Is it called the Double Snake Timepiece? It sounds good." Ye Qingxuan looked at the pocket watch in his hand, "In addition, sir, is your estimate a little bit lower?"
"It's a good idea to buy you a broken pocket watch for fifty thousand pounds." Edmund said coldly, "Let us give you more."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed his uncle's staring gaze, his expression changed, and he shut up obediently.
"Hehe, isn't it?"
Ye Qingxuan smiled when he heard the words, and raised his palm: "The outer shell looks like iron, but the material is actually ancient silver. The most obvious feature is this rare spot, an associated mine of cyan-gold, ancient silver. Mining has been seldom. At present, the price of one gram should be around 700 pounds. The outer shell of this watch is about 50 grams, and the price is 35,000 pounds.
Although I haven't inspected it, the watch core with antique silver as the outer shell, at least the handwriting of the top Western mechanics, is temporarily priced at 20,000 yuan. "
Ye Qingxuan's index finger is holding the bracelet~IndoMTL.com~ After turning the pocket watch beautifully on his wrist, he makes it into his palm, presses down his index finger, and opens the cover.
He stretched out his hand and fumbled, and finally stopped his fingers on the edge of the watch cover, his smile was startled, and then he changed into mockery: "The time should be more than ninety years.
Regardless of other things, with the degree of wear on it, it should be antique. With reference to the prices of other items at the Holy City auction during the same period, there is no problem with a price of at least 100,000...If the signature on the internal movement is a famous craftsman, the price still has room for soaring. "
Following the low voice of the young man, Bradley's face became more and more ugly. In the end, Ye Qingxuan raised his head and asked in a leisurely manner:
"Are you sure that the price of fifty thousand pounds is not joking?"
