A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 165 109 Collect or plunder (page 12)

Seres is not China.

This is obvious, just like Cathay is not China, and Earth is not the Warhammer world.

They are very similar, very similar, and even the details of tracing the depths of history are not much different, but they are specious, just like the old lady at the wonton shop is not your mother.

After Levi realized this fact, he suddenly felt a little tired.

Why am I so excited about this thing... Idiot.

He dropped his hands and shook his head.

"It's nothing, it's just that you said its place of origin was wrong. It was produced in Siris...probably." Levi said.

Yes, it's actually such a simple thing, it's not worth going to war.

"Oh." Pierre suddenly realized again that for a self-proclaimed collector, it is indeed very embarrassing to tell the wrong place of origin of a collection.

Pierre apologized quickly and glanced at Levi with his peripheral vision, fearing that he would lose this rare financial sponsor.

To be honest, Pierre's wallet has reached a daunting level.

Not only did he have no money in his pocket, he also owed a lot of loan sharks, and even food expenses were a problem. If Levi didn't come, he would have to eat the sperm whale's beef.

Pierre also tried to work or earn money in other ways, but he felt panicked as soon as he left his collection. The boss said that he could hear the hip bone as a city gate building and then told his colleagues that he was a thin monkey.

The stocks he gritted his teeth and bought were all good, and his small savings were wiped out within a few days. Only then did he think of selling his collection, but Pierre touched his pocket and found that he even took the advertising fees. Not out.

He had to take good care of the person in front of him.

Levi shook his head, indicating that he didn't care anymore, and then looked at the main topic of his visit this time.

"What is that eye? I'm a little curious. It looks ordinary."

"Oh, you're talking about that." Pierre blinked, walked over, and picked up the glass jar.

He slowly walked over with the jar in his hand and said.

"Perhaps compared with other collections, it is not exquisite enough, but what is truly valuable is that it is very rare."

The jar was placed on the counter in front of him, Pierre leaned down on the counter, pointed with his finger and said.

"Look, it has two pupils. This is something that only has a one-in-a-billion chance of happening."

Levi looked over, his eyeballs seemed to be staring at him aimlessly. The two pupils were large on the right and small on the left, like some kind of glass product. It can be seen that the color of the iris is emerald green.

He suddenly remembered that these eyes were exactly the same as those of the girl Miss Mira took away, and he couldn't help but think of something.

"What's the origin of these eyes?" Levi asked.

"Haha." Pierre scratched his head and laughed, "I bought this from a drunkard. He was so drunk that he was delirious. He was holding a bunch of bloody things in his hand and yelling to throw them away. Order something like that while walking along Fisherman's Wharf. I happened to be shopping there."

"I noticed something unusual about him, so I exchanged a bottle of whiskey for something in his hand. It turned out that I was lucky." Pierre pointed to the eyes floating in the jar again, his voice filled with pride.

"You may not know that many wealthy people are happy to collect such things, such as specimens of indigenous people from the Oceanic continent, specimens of one-legged or conjoined twins, and Indian scalps..."

Pierre introduced endlessly, but Levi didn't listen. He looked at the dilated pupils in his eyes again. The beautiful double pupils seemed to be looking at him, and they seemed not to be looking at anyone.

Faintly, Levi had a guess.

"Not every call can be saved..."

Levi muttered.

"What did you say?" Pierre asked doubtfully.

"No, it's nothing." Levi shook his head and stood up, then turned to look at Pierre with a polite smile.

"I think I've visited enough and it's time to make a decision."

Pierre's face showed a mixture of joy and reluctance, and he asked: "What are you interested in?"

"At once……"

Levi held out his finger. He originally wanted to buy just the eye of his target, but he was afraid that it would appear that he was too purposeful, so he planned to buy an inconspicuous-looking collection and add that eye.

But just as he looked around, looking for the target, the small tea cup jumped into Levi's eyes again.

It is as blue-black as the sea at night, dotted with star-like spots and sparkling waves.

And the flares on it were like teardrops at this time.

In an instant, it was like a strong magnet, locking Levi's gaze.

He couldn't help but sigh again.

"How much does that tea cup cost? You bid."

Levi said lightly.

"what?"

This sentence made Pierre a little embarrassed. He turned his head and stared at the small tea cup again and again, and an indelible feeling surged into his heart.

The Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl is also the most outstanding item among Pierre's many collections. At least he thinks so. The starry sky-like colors and patterns on it always make him unable to put it down.

However, Pierre never found out about other such porcelain, and the Japanese warrior couldn't explain it clearly. Pierre didn't know its specific value.

But... in order to get the money...

Pierre gritted his teeth and planned to report higher.

"Then...6000 Philippine dollars?"

"6500." Levi replied.

"Can...eh?"

Pierre was shocked, how could there be a higher price?

"But I still want to buy that eye again." Levi pointed calmly, "After all, you only spent a bottle of whiskey on it, and my price is five hundred times your cost. This is a lot of money." Good deal.”

Pierre then turned his head and looked over slowly, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

That eye is also his favorite collection. Although he likes every item in the collection, Pierre especially likes it because he picked it up. It can prove that Pierre's vision is valuable to him. special meaning.

In fact, 6000 Philippine dollars is enough to last for a while, otherwise... Pierre was just thinking about it when he heard the sound again.

"Also, I either want them all or I don't want them all." Levi said, revealing Pierre's little thoughts.

"And...I also bought all of those Siris porcelains."

"Buy them all?"

Pierre was stunned and took a breath.

"Yes, you can keep a few pieces if you don't want to, but then I will be in a bad mood and won't buy anything in the end."

Levi noticed Pierre's weakness, and his tone gradually became domineering.

Pierre swallowed hard, feeling deeply entangled in his heart.

He needs money very much now, but losing so many collections all at once makes it difficult for him to let go.

By the way, Mr. Li’s conditions are too unreasonable, right?

Only then did Pierre realize this problem. He turned his head to look at Levi, only to find that the latter was calmly looking at the artworks in his display cabinet, seemingly entranced, not paying attention to himself at all, as if he had nothing to say. It's like he has nothing to do with it.
