Chapter 1387 Antiques Trading

Chapter 1387 Antiques Trading

"I don't know what I want to find!" Qin Long smiled helplessly, put down the things in his hand, looked around, and asked the old man: "Is this antique shop yours? Old gentleman!"

"Yes!"

"It seems that it has a history for many years!" Qin Long said.

"Indeed, this store has been preserved since my grandfather, and it has been almost three hundred years since my generation!"

"Three hundred years?" Qin Long was surprised. An antique store with a history of nearly three hundred years. Indeed, such a store itself has indescribable historical value. No wonder when you enter the store, you feel so simple and warm.

"Are all the things here antiques?" Qin Long asked.

"Haha, do you think there is something else in the antique shop?" Hearing this, the old man grinned. It seemed that Qin Long asked a joke-like question.

"I mean, how do the old man's store come from? Did he collect it himself?" Qin Long asked instead of being angry.

"Haha, this customer seems to be more interested in my store than in the antiques in my store. Could it be that you sent by those damn developers?" The old man looked at Qin Long suspiciously, and his eyes seemed to become alert.

"Developer?" Qin Long was stunned and shook his head and said, "I am not a developer. I just happened to pass by outside and found that the storefront of the old man's store was very interesting, so I came in and took a look!"

"Is that so? Then you are not here to buy antiques?" The old man was half-believing and half-doubted.

"It can be said yes, or it can be said no. You need to see if you can see what interests me. In short, I am not the developer that the old man calls him. You can rest assured this old man!" Qin Long said with a smile.

"That's good. Those damn developers said they wanted to develop my store into a high-end residential area. I wouldn't agree even if I beat you to death!"

"So that's the case!" Qin Long suddenly realized that such forced demolition was happening in many countries. After a pause, Qin Long smiled and said, "Actually, I would come to the old man's store, and I was completely attracted by the name of this store!"

"Shop name?" The old man was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Qin Long was talking about.

"Yes, a friend of mine used to work in Denmark, and he told me that he once bought something nice in an antique shop called Anderson!"

"Anderson?", hearing this, the old man was stunned again.

"I wonder if it's just the old man's store?" Qin Long said with a smile.

"Haha, it should be yes. There are dozens of antique shops in Denmark, but I am the only one named "Anderson". Your friend should be buying something from me!"

Hearing this, Qin Long was happy. If this is the case, it really means that this matter is too coincidental. He was just going to find Professor Holder, but he didn't expect that he accidentally discovered the antiques business that Nemo had visited. There are such coincidences in this world, so life is so colorful, right?

"So, I just passed outside and saw the old man's store name, and I couldn't help but want to come in and take a look!" Qin Long said happily.

"Although the business of my store is no longer as prosperous as before, there are still customers coming to visit every day. Please forgive me for not being able to remember your friend!"

The old man looked very kind!

"It doesn't matter!"

"What did your friend buy from me?" the old man asked.

"I don't know what he bought here. He only told me that the old man's things are very good. If I have the chance to come, I must take a good look!" Qin Long did not tell the old man about the fact that Nemo had bought the "nuclear weapon" development program here. Perhaps, when Nemo discovered the "nuclear weapon" development program, the old man didn't know what it was. Otherwise, he would probably not have sold those things to Nemo, and Qin Long would not be able to get the "nuclear weapon" development program.

Of course, when he said this, the old man was happy when he heard it. He could see that he cared about his store very much. When he heard someone praise the good things in his store, it would be strange if he was unhappy. People like to listen to good things.

"Haha, you can take a look at that respectful guest. If you don't understand anything, ask me again!"

Sure enough, after hearing Qin Long's words, the old man smiled happily. Obviously, Qin Long's words benefited him very much.

"By the way, old man, I'm a bit apt about antiques. I want to know how long it takes for things above age to be called antiques?" Qin Long asked.

"For ordinary people, things that are more than two hundred years old can be called antiques, but for us professionals, the truly valuable antiques are more than five hundred to one thousand years!", the old man explained.

"Oh, then, isn't it said that the longer the time, the greater the value of antiques, right?" Qin Long asked.

"Yes!"

"So, how many years can we go to the longest time?" Qin Long asked curiously.

"How many years ago?"

"Let me say this, if it was something from the 'Earth Era', does the old man have it here?" Qin Long asked. In fact, after asking so many questions, this question is what Qin Long wants to ask the most.

"'Era Earth'?", hearing this, the old man was stunned and asked, "This guest wants to find something from the 'Era Earth'?"

He seemed to be a little surprised by Qin Long's request. After all, what Qin Long said was the thing from the previous era. An era was not calculated in just a thousand years. Things at that time had no practical or collection value for people in this era, so few people would know about things from the previous era with him.

“Yes, if there is one!”

Hearing Qin Long's words, the old man became silent, as if he was trying hard to recall, and said for a while: "This... seems to be not here!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Long couldn't help but feel disappointed. It seemed that not everyone was as lucky as Nemo.

"No, it seems there is one!" Just as Qin Long was disappointed, the old man suddenly changed his mind and let Qin Long see hope again. Could this be Qin Long's unexpected discovery?

"Yes, I remembered that I happened to have something from the previous era!" The old man really thought of something.

"What is it?" Qin Long's eyes lit up, but it seemed to be a little too early because he didn't know what the old man was talking about.

"Please follow me!" The old man smiled indifferently, and led Qin Long through the aisle filled with antiques with a cane, and came to the deepest part of the store. Then he slowly took out a wooden box placed under the table.

The wooden box was covered with dust, and it seemed that it had been placed in this place for a long time. If Qin Long hadn't asked suddenly, such an inconspicuous box would definitely not have attracted the attention of others.

The old man gently wiped off the dust on the box. Qin Long looked at it attentively and found that the style of the box was very soft and unlocked, but the style of the box did not seem to be a product of Europe or America, but more like something from the "Tianyuan Kingdom".

Could this thing be left behind by people from the "Tianyuan Kingdom" during the "Earth Era"?

Qin Long couldn't help but feel curious.

"Pa~", in Qin Long's curious eyes, the old man opened the box, and Qin Long's attention was immediately attracted.

"Huh?" Qin Long showed a puzzled look when he saw the things in the box. He found that there was a very strange thing in the box, which seemed to be a scroll, but it didn't look like a scroll. Anyway, they were rolled together. At first glance, it looked like a scroll, but he didn't know what was written or painted inside.

"What is this?" Qin Long asked curiously.

"Scroll!", the old man replied.

"Scroll? What is the purpose of?" Qin Long asked.

"I don't know what to do!" The old man smiled faintly, picked up the scroll, and slowly opened it. The scroll was made of fabric. It can be seen that the materials are exquisite and well preserved. Although it was from the previous era, it still looks very new, which means that the owner is properly protected.

When the scroll was opened, Qin Long immediately stepped forward and looked at it. He found that the half-meter-long scroll turned out to be a painting, drawing something like a map.

"This is..." Looking at the painting on the scroll, Qin Long suddenly felt that the things drawn on it looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember them for a moment.

The old man flatly put the scroll down on the desktop, wiped it gently, and then smiled and said, "This is the map of the 'Sky Blue Star' in the 'Era of Earth'!"

"The map of the 'Earth Era'' "Sky Blue Star"?" Qin Long suddenly realized after being reminded by the old man. Yes, he seemed to have seen this map in a book before. At that time, it was because this map was different from the current 'Sky Blue Star' map that he looked curiously. No wonder he felt it looked familiar just now.

However, Qin Long was puzzled. This antique shop with a history of hundreds of years would actually use a map of "Sky Blue Star" from the "Earth Era" as an antique.

"Is this antique too? Old sir!"
