Lord of the Secret Art!

Chapter 1 Funeral

In the morning of late autumn, the Kalmar streetcars, horses and pedestrians with European modern style are already quite lively.

There are plate armored vehicles that carry cargo like a wagon.

There are rental carriages that carry passengers like taxis.

It is luxuriously decorated and pulled by solid-colored fur horses, like a private carriage of a luxury car.

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

There is a housewife who has gone out to buy food and is returning home holding a paper bag with food.

There are newsboys hawking cloth bags on their backs.

…

Having eaten breakfast, Fei Lin pushed open the door of the "Fei Lin Laboratory", and this is what caught his eye.

It has been 20 years since I watched a scene like this, but Fehling still feels a little unreal, it feels like a dream.

Felin has a secret in his heart, his soul is not from this world, but from an azure planet.

It's just that, unlike many of the traversal seniors, he has not been able to awaken Goldfinger, at least for now.

Although he does not have a golden finger, with his early wisdom, he has also successfully learned a skill.

At the age of 20, I have my own jewelry and antiques laboratory, and I can get about 4 gold pounds a week.

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

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

In Constantine, there are not many people whose income can reach this level. Although it is less than the top, it is more than the bottom, and it has properly reached the middle and upper levels.

Today, instead of wearing his usual formal suit, he was wearing a black suit.

Black represents solemnity and grief, which is the dress code for funerals.

He put down his job and will attend a funeral.

I bought a bunch of white chrysanthemums at the 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, where a lot of people in black have gathered, Fei Lin walked to that place.

After ?? approached, among the people in black, Fei Lin saw some acquaintances, and these acquaintances also recognized Fei Lin.

However, both sides just nodded slightly and didn't say hello to each other, because it was not the right 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 named Ray Romano, an archaeologist who has devoted his life to excavating historical truth and has made outstanding contributions to the archaeological community.

has cultivated many outstanding students and delivered many outstanding talents to the archaeological field.

"teacher…"

Fei Lin muttered softly, and an image of a thin little old man appeared in his mind.

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

From the learning of jewelry and antique appraisal knowledge, and the opening of the laboratory, he was taken care of by Ray Romano.

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

One after another, some people came, some of whom Fei Lin knew, and some Fei Lin did not know.

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

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

As for his wife, she died long before him.

The crowd faced the coffin, and an old man of considerable standing stood in front of the coffin and recited a eulogy.

"Mr. Ray Romano was a great archaeologist who devoted his life to..."

If the biggest difference between this world and the past and modern times in Europe is that there are no churches or priests in this world, and all religious beliefs are not allowed.

Anyone who believes in religion will be regarded as a cult, and will be wanted and arrested by the kingdom, so it is not a priest but an old man with a higher status who recites the eulogy.

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

The funeral was over now, and everyone dispersed one after another. Fehling did not leave immediately, but stayed behind.

After the funeral was basically gone, he walked up to Josie Romano, son of Ray Romano, and shouted.

"Mr. Romano."

"You are my father's student, right?"

Josie Romano's eyes were a little red, and when he saw Fei Lin who came forward, he asked.

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

Fehling hesitated and asked.

"When I saw you a while ago, the teacher was in good health, why did you suddenly...?"

"He died of a disease during an archaeology not long ago."

Josie Romano 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?"

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

"It was an imperial tomb with great archaeological value. My father didn't mind giving it to others, so he went down to the tomb."

Josie Romano sighed.

"Imperial tombs?"

Fei Lin looked startled, some teachers who understood that they were no longer in the tomb, why did they go to the tomb again.

In this era, the kingdom of Heidelberg, the Kingdom of Ercano, and the Kingdom of Porto, where he is located, are at odds, which is called the kingdom period.

And earlier, about 600 years ago, there were many principalities, with 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 is called the Empire Period.

That is an extremely powerful empire, ruling the territory of the three kingdoms today, and the history of rule is thousands of years.

But such a powerful country suddenly collapsed one day.

Its destruction 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, when he encounters such a tomb, how could he be unable to resist the tomb exploration?

"Not long after he went to the tomb, one of them coughed up blood and died soon after."

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

"But even leaving immediately did not allow them to save their lives."

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

"Although the pharmacist was invited, the pharmacist was helpless, and they all died soon after."

Josie Romano said sadly.

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

Fehling asked with a frown.

In the tomb, because of the long-term closure and decay, it is easy to breed highly toxic substances.

Although live birds will be used to probe the tomb, it cannot be completely avoided.

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

"do not know."

Josie Romano shook his head sadly.

"Please also condolences!"

Felin comforted Josie Romano before leaving after a long time.

In the late autumn, the sky is gray and no sunlight can be seen. It is obviously day, but it seems to be evening.

“Wow, wow, wow…”

In this season, many trees in the cemetery have lost their leaves.

A few ominous crows with black bodies stood on the bare branches, making harsh and even penetrating sounds.

Their blood-colored eyes stared at the cemetery below without blinking.

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

…

The next morning, Fehling, who had been out of business for a day, went to work.

The appraiser's job, as its name suggests, is to appraise jewelry and antiques.

Most of them are entrusted to go to the homes of so-and-so wealthy businessmen and so-and-so nobles to conduct professional appraisal of antique jewelry for them.

Leaving the home of a wealthy businessman, Fehling returned to the laboratory in a taxi.

"The teacher's residence is in front..."

Passing a street, Fehling looked at a place.

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

"Well, what's the matter, why is there a policeman in front of the teacher's house?"

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

Intuition told him that something bad might happen.

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

"Mr. Romano, what happened?"

Looking at Josie Romano, Flynn asked.

"This morning, the tomb keeper found that my father's tomb was dug up and the body was gone."

Josie Romano said with an ugly face.
