Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 82

[Chapter 82 Museum]

‘From the dawn of darkness, I saw the light! Aaron

muttered to himself and ended his first meditation.

Although his expression was calm, he was actually very emotional.

After all, after planning for so long and experiencing so many blows… he finally saw hope!

And hold it firmly in your hands.

Immediately, he noticed something strange in the eyes of the people around him.

He heard words like ‘madman’, ‘jumping into the river’, ‘bankruptcy’ and the like…

“Fortunately, the language didn’t change much. Although it sounded like a strong accent and dialect, it was barely understandable…”

Aaron didn’t care. The people around him looked at him, and when he touched his stomach, he became even more hungry.

“I arranged everything for my sleep, but I forgot to prepare for waking up. It was a mistake…”

He touched his pocket and found a few gold and silver coins in it, which were the pocket money he had brought with him before he fell asleep.

Of course it can’t be spent directly now, but it should be sold as ancient coins. The coat he wore before should also be sold at a pawn shop for a good price.

At this moment, Aaron felt two looks coming from him.

Among the crowd, two men in dark uniforms with white stripes, who looked like patrolmen, began to notice him and had a tendency to come over and question him.

This is an era that advocates ambition and honor.

Big businessmen and factory owners worked hard to squeeze workers, and then used the money they earned to buy land or donate to charity to gain fame and marry with nobles, thereby joining the so-called ‘upper class’.

Ordinary workers and the middle class work hard every day, are exploited, and live like zombies. If they make the slightest mistake, they will be fired.

Especially workers without special skills are like parts of a machine that can be replaced at any time if they break.

Therefore, they are often in a hurry, have pale faces, rough skin, and mostly suffer from occupational diseases.

And Aaron…whether it was physical appearance or demeanor, they were so incompatible.

In particular, it is impossible for workers to be leisurely and leisurely, stop to admire the scenery of Iver Bridge, and then suddenly become excited and look like they are about to jump into the river.

He turned around, merged into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.

At this time, the patrol officer’s sense of responsibility was obviously very low. He found that he did not disrupt public transportation and did not cause any big trouble, so he was too lazy to pursue him.

…

Aaron walked down the street.

In the surrounding corners, there were several half-sized ghosts wearing peaked caps gathered.

They may have been pickpockets or even robbers, and children their age were either child laborers or child prostitutes.

There are not many ways out for people at the bottom, and being in the underworld is one of them.

They stared at Aaron, keenly feeling the difference in this guy, and exchanged dangerous glances with each other.

Almost all child pickpockets are related to gangs.

Aaron sighed in his heart and walked into a pawn shop.

“Hello, guest… Is there anything Old Morgan can do for you?”

An old man wearing a monocle, gray hair, and a black vest was wiping a piece of porcelain. He saw Aaron coming in and greeted politely. Say hello.

This store is not large in scale, but it should be responsible for the sales of stolen goods by many gangs.

In fact, all pawn shops have some gray business.

Aaron didn’t take it seriously and took out a golden coin from his pocket and placed it on the counter.

Old Morgan picked up the gold coin and his expression changed slightly: “Real gold…please wait…”

He opened a small box, quickly took out many tools, and studied the gold coin: “Pattern, color…hiss… This seems to be an ancient gold coin, from the Kargash period? No…impossible!”

Old Morgan was full of doubts, although his experience told him that what he had in his hand was a genuine ancient gold coin.

But a subtle sense of incongruity made him feel that this gold coin was too ‘new’, as if it had not experienced thousands of years of historical precipitation…

Immediately, his expression became serious, and he felt that he seemed to have leaked something because of his gaffe.

“Guest, I’m sorry that I can’t determine the age of this gold coin. Maybe you can go to a big pawn shop…”

Old Morgan said this deliberately, because he felt that no matter how he looked at it, it came from the wrong place, and not a worker could do it. Take it out.

Maybe it’s stolen goods!

This often leads to a rush to make a big profit.

“What if I want to take action right here?”

Aaron showed a hint of anxiety, and a smile appeared on Old Morgan’s face: “Then I can buy it at the gold price, 1 gold pound!”

The gold pound in this era is directly related to It is linked to gold and is a fairly strong currency.

“Two pounds…otherwise I’d rather find another place.” Aaron muttered, pretending to get the gold coins.

“Deal!”

A smile appeared on Old Morgan’s lips. He felt that this ancient coin was worth at least 10 pounds!

…

Aaron walked out of the pawn shop and immediately noticed a child following him.

He showed a pleasant smile, walked around in circles, and then turned into a remote alley.

“He’s there!”

Amidst the screams of a little girl, several burly men gathered around, with a ferocious smile on their faces: “Boy, hand over all the money you have!”

They are all gang members, This kind of thing is commonplace.

At this time, in order to increase his persuasion, a dwarf also took out a dagger.

Aaron’s eyes swept over them and nodded with satisfaction: “Very good… I like your jacket, it belongs to me…”

After a moment.

Aaron, who was well-dressed and looked a bit middle-class, clapped his hands and walked out of the alley.

Even without extraordinary abilities, his physical fitness has reached the peak of human beings, and he is good at killing with cold weapons.

Not to mention, he also awakened a little spirituality of ‘Yao’, which is equivalent to half an extraordinary person!

This kind of ordinary thug just delivers food.

He looked at the petrified little girl, smiled, walked into the crowd, and disappeared quickly…

…

half a month later.

Suburbs of Green Forest City.

Sotos Museum.

A lady with long blond hair and well-dressed like a tour guide was introducing enthusiastically to the gentlemen and ladies in front of her: “Everyone… what we are seeing now is Sotos, which is listed on the Invis Historical and Cultural Heritage List. The museum… It is mainly expanded with the once-prominent Sotos family castle. We can see the huge banyan tree that is more than two thousand years old… The Sotos family madly worships the original belief symbolized by the green banyan tree. So this may be a kind of glorious proof. In fact… there is only one huge green banyan tree growing on the castle in the world! “

“As we all know, this is also the place where famous people in mainland history and culture, legendary inventors, founders of modern medicine, The father of the steam engine, the conqueror of Kargash, and the Earl of Greenson – the hometown of Aaron Sotos! “

“Although there have been many Earls of Greenson in history, when this title is mentioned, everyone will only think of Aaron! Sotos, it is regrettable that we cannot see the appearance of this celebrity a thousand years ago. Works such as oil paintings can only be preserved for hundreds of years, and the Earl of Greenson did not leave any Statue…”

The tour guide explained, her eyes sweeping over the crowd and lingering on a young gentleman for a long time.

The other party was well-dressed, with a pure white stand-up collar shirt neatly ironed without any wrinkles, a black woolen formal coat, and a black silk hat. Everything was the most popular fashion style in the kingdom.

What’s even more amazing is his handsome face, purple eyes like stars, and his aura that he comes from the upper class.

At this time, the gentleman looked at the castle that had been repaired many times and converted into an exhibition hall, with an extremely complicated look of nostalgia on his face.
