Standing in the hall, Geer walked around casually while admiring the exquisite antiques. While walking around, Geer also discovered several antique weapons that could provide energy, but they did not provide much energy and were of great value.
It was far inferior to the bronze spear, so Geer just wrote down the number. If he had extra money, he could also consider buying part of it at the auction, but everything was based on getting the bronze spear.
After visiting the weapons and antiques exhibition area, Geer came to the sculpture exhibition area and walked to the fence against the wall.
What is displayed here is an obsidian statue, which looks like a cheetah. At first glance, the lines look a bit rough, but it has a mysterious beauty. It is like this statue has vitality. Every carved muscle line is like
It's like being alive.
Seeing this statue, Geer suddenly remembered the obsidian pendant he got after killing Bullide. It was very similar in style to the statue in front of him. Due to a series of events that had happened before, the problem with this pendant had long been known.
It was placed in the corner of my memory, and I didn't think of it until I saw this statue.
"The statues of tribal civilizations in Qihaizhou are beautiful, aren't they?"
Just when Geer was looking at the obsidian statue in a trance, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
The person who spoke took a few steps forward while speaking, and came to Geer's side. Geer tilted his head slightly and could see the man's face clearly.
He was an old gentleman, wearing a straight black tuxedo, with his white hair combed straight, and his back not bent at all. He walked to stand next to Geer and looked at the statue casually.
"Indeed, it's beautiful." Geer nodded in agreement.
"The tribes in Qihai State worship all kinds of beasts. Each tribe will choose a beast as the patron saint of its own tribe and make an obsidian statue for it. Whenever a new member of the tribe is born, they must go to the statue to offer sacrifices.
, in order to seek the protection of the patron saint. I heard that some children who are favored by the patron saint will receive blessings and be born with special abilities, which will gradually become stronger as they grow older." The old gentleman continued to introduce.
"Special ability? What kind of special ability is it?" Geer was very curious about the special ability mentioned by the old gentleman.
"It may be because of his extraordinary strength, his sharp ears and eyes, or his extremely fast speed. According to some people who have been to Qihaizhou, these have not been confirmed." The old gentleman showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "Even if
It is difficult to prove that it is due to the blessing given by the patron saint. Some ordinary children like us here will also have these abilities. I personally think it is a personal talent."
"Well, I also agree that the difference between an individual and a group is a small probability event, but it does not mean that it is not possible." Geer continued to agree.
"It's a pity that there will be fewer and fewer sculptures like this in the future." The old gentleman sighed.
Geer knew why. He had learned about the history of Nanhai State in his college history class. Nanhai State is said to be a state, but in fact it is just a chain of many large islands. There is a history of human activities that can be traced.
Until thousands of years ago, there was no unified civilization in Qihai State, and it had been in a state of scattered tribal civilizations for a long time.
From the time of the Gardero Republic two hundred years ago, after possessing sufficient navigation skills, they began to capture the natives of the Seven Seas State as slaves and sell them into the country. Now, with the gradual increase of the influence of the Industrial Revolution, the country's thirst for human resources
It can be said that hunger has reached the point where no one can choose what to eat. After a large number of domestic farmers turned into industrial workers, the vacant fields and plantations could only be filled by these slaves. Therefore, the plunder of Qihai State has become more intense. In recent years, the tribes in Qihai State have already
Much less. As long as this intensity of plundering is maintained, the tribes in Qihaizhou will be completely destroyed in about fifty years.
Geer refused to comment on this. The Colbenson Territory also used slaves in the past. Although it was not too many, it was still a party that benefited. Naturally, it would not be hypocritical to sympathize with this.
"Forget it, let's not mention this sad topic. The tribal sculptures in Qihaizhou are more rugged and mysterious, but if you want to see the exquisiteness accumulated by history, you have to see this." The old gentleman pointed to the golden statue in a pillar on one side.
said.
Geer looked over and saw a golden statue based on a human being. It was a man with angry eyes and roaring. But at this time, the statue that originally showed anger seemed a bit ridiculous because it was cut off below the chest.
, the two arms that were originally supposed to be waving were also amputated, just like the more popular armless bust plaster statues. It may have been cut like this for convenience of transportation.
"This is Hamilton Everyard, known as 'The Growler'. It was he who made the Republic of Gardero glorious." The old gentleman walked up to the armless bust with admiration on his face: "This is to commemorate
There were four full-length gold statues specially made for his outstanding contribution, but unfortunately they were all lost during the civil war. I didn’t expect that we could see them again today..."
The old gentleman introduced Geer as he walked. He obviously enjoyed the feeling of explaining to others, and Geer also followed him with great interest to learn about the history behind the antiques on display.
The atmosphere in the hall was already very lively. As the old gentleman explained, more and more people noticed this and came over one after another to join in the discussion in low voices. Sometimes there were some heated debates.
After listening for a while, Geer left the crowd. After all, he still had tasks, and patrolling was his duty.
I heard Prince Fayelino say that this antique exhibition is a major exhibition held every five years. In Geer's eyes, he really felt that it was extraordinary. Not only were there a large number of exhibits, but they were also of top quality. Geer could see it every time he passed by a stone pillar.
A crowd gathered for a heated discussion.
Some people doubt the accuracy of the collection's judgment, some have doubts about the value of the collection, and some are directly preparing to contact the owner of the collection to try to buy the collection they like before the auction is held.
It's only the first day of the exhibition, but the atmosphere is already very good. Gale also heard Lucaline say that this exhibition has become the hottest topic in San Lotaro recently.
"Hello, team leader."
Just when Geer came to a new exhibition area, Kang, one of his men, came up to say hello.
"Where are Iona and Stone?" Geer looked near Kang, but did not see the other two people who were supposed to be with him.
"They said they were on patrol." Kang said awkwardly.
Geer frowned slightly. Of his three new subordinates, except for Kang, who was the least skilled and took the initiative to approach Geer as soon as he came up, Iona, the other two, besides having a decent relationship with Lucaline, had a good relationship with the other members of the group.
The three men all kept a long distance from each other and always lived alone. The other one, Stone, was purely free and undisciplined. His outstanding natural strength gave him a very independent personality and he never followed discipline.
Although Kang was very close to Geer, he also had his own unique little thoughts. Anyway, none of these three men could make Geer worry-free.
Now Geer had already guessed this outcome, and he walked away without saying anything.
After moving in a few more directions, Geer returned to the weapons exhibition area.
The weapons exhibition area is the outermost part of the entire exhibition hall. Since most visitors entered the inner exhibition areas of the exhibition hall, the number of people seemed a little sparse.
Suddenly, the entrance to the hall suddenly became lively. Geer looked up and found a group of people walking towards the exhibition hall. There were also several reporters surrounding them, asking questions and writing in the notebooks in their hands.
Make a few strokes.
It should be those dignitaries coming.
Seeing that this group of people was about to come in, Geer was not interested in mixing with such a group of people, so he walked a few steps to the side and came to a corner.
"Who!" At this moment, a sharp roar came from outside the exhibition hall. "Alert!!!"
Then the sound suddenly stopped, as if it was cut off by something.
problem occurs!
The group of people at the door suddenly became noisy and began to make an uneasy commotion. The guards immediately took action to surround the dignitaries for protection.
Seeing this situation, Geer also walked quickly towards the door, and put his right hand on the handle of the knife.
"Lie down!"
Before Geer took a few steps, another shrill roar came from the door.
Following this roar, an extreme sense of danger immediately gripped Geer. Without any hesitation, Geer fell to the ground, rolled and hid behind a booth.
boom!!
A large ball of golden flames exploded outside the exhibition hall. After the huge roar, thick white smoke spread in all directions along with the shock wave. People screamed, wailed, called for help, and the glass broke. Horses were frightened.
The hissing sound became one.
Suddenly, the originally harmonious exhibition hall fell into chaos.
