A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Of course, this can only be a pleasure.

Although Levi did have such an idea in a moment, his reason stopped him.

Who knows what Pierre's social relationships are like. If he kills and sells goods without knowing the other person at all, there is a high chance that he will be discovered.

Once discovered, BOI didn't even need to put any thought into it. Miss Westin could push Levi down as soon as he opened the door in the morning.

He probably won't be easily paroled then.

BOI is a ladder that I can climb up, but...it is also a shackle.

Thinking of this, Levi sighed.

"It's nothing, just a joke." Levi smiled helplessly, "I'm a little dazzled by your collection. I mean I can't wait to snatch them all away."

Just like what some people did in the Old Summer Palace...

"Oh, you're so flattering." Pierre, who shed a drop of cold sweat, smiled relievedly. He almost thought he was serious just now. Is this also an Eastern sense of humor?

"But my wallet can only buy the rarest parts of them." Levi said, "You can just take me to see those."

After vaguely understanding the origins of most of the cultural relics in this museum, he no longer had the intention to appreciate them quietly.

Pierre suddenly realized it and said with a smile.

"Okay, then please follow me, Mr. Li."

The two people walked through the exhibition hall and went up a staircase to the second floor. Levi looked sideways and found that there were many small oil paintings hanging on the wall next to the stairs, with their own styles. They are very different, there are serious and dark classical religious paintings, and there are brightly colored modernist paintings.

"Do you have such a wide range of aesthetics?" Levi raised his head and asked.

"Haha, I told you, my collection is very miscellaneous, I have some of everything." Pierre smiled.

After walking up to the second floor, Levi found that the layout here looked almost the same as the first floor.

However, the collections displayed here are obviously more diverse and complex, not only limited to handicrafts, but also various bronze weapons of different lengths, biological tissues soaked in light brown liquid, strange-shaped machinery and animal specimens...

Levi couldn't help but become interested again.

"what is this?"

Levi pointed to a huge glass cylinder two meters high. Inside was a twisted columnar object, about as thick as Martha, with wrinkles formed by skin extrusion on the surface.

"Ah, this is the dick of a sperm whale." The collector said with a smile, "I bought this from a whaler on Island Island, and only the part outside the body is exposed."

"A complete whale dick can reach 5 meters long. God, it is bigger than my whole body. Unfortunately, I can't bring it back whole, so I can only cut off half of it."

Li Wei couldn't help feeling awe after hearing this, and looked up at the huge sacred pillar again.

"This thing must have a hard time getting through customs."

"Yes, the customs staff questioned me for a long time as to why I wanted to bring it back. But fortunately, when they heard that I was a Baroque, they all smiled with relief and just patted me on the shoulder to express my gratitude. It’s really fun.”

Pierre shrugged.

"Okay, stop looking at those, let's take a look at this thing."

After passing through a collection of collections, the two entered a small room. Pierre smiled and turned on the switch, and two lights lit up the room.

The room is covered with a wool carpet that can cover the entire room. The wallpaper is equally luxurious, in matte yellow with decorative patterns.

Levi looked around. The collections inside were smaller and more complex, and were enclosed by glass covers, but it could be seen that the level of sophistication had been raised to a higher level.

At this time, a collection appeared in Li Wei's sight, which made him feel refreshed.

It was a small glass jar filled with formalin, and floating in it was a small eye with long nerves attached to it.

"What's inside are the rarest and rarest items that I have collected. They are all from real masters or the miraculous craftsmanship of nature itself. Usually, there is only a one in 100 million chance of appearing in front of us."

Pierre said proudly.

"Can you introduce me?" Levi looked at the eye with his peripheral vision. He did not rush to ask, but withdrew his gaze and looked at the glass box closest to him.

"Oh, what you have in front of you is a golden scarab found in Ptolemy's Pyramid of Khufu. I bought it from a Hampton man who claimed to be the grandson of Hall Weis. It cost me A lot of money.”

The glass box was made into a miniature landscape, with a branch stuck diagonally on the yellow sand, and the precious golden scarab was leaning against the branch.

Levi leaned down and frowned: "There won't be any strange curse on this thing, right?"

After all, supernatural powers are real in this world.

"No, how is it possible? Look at me, how lucky my life is now, does it seem like I have been cursed?" Pierre smiled nonchalantly and spread his arms, showing his thin body and messy hair. hair.

"Forehead."

Levi shook his head.

It seems very similar.

"Where are the other things? Please introduce them to me." Levi's eyes moved away from the scarab and looked at other things.

"Oh, and this, this is an arm of an ancient Aegean sculpture, belonging to a man. I bought it in the Vatican in 1906... Of course it is not as clever as other works, but you see, it It’s in color!”

Levi looked over carefully and realized that his arms were not pure white, but a light flesh color.

"This is a discovery that can overturn people's current understanding! Sculptures in the classical era were probably colorful!" Pierre said excitedly.

"Well, it's really interesting..." Levi remembered that the terracotta warriors and horses he had heard about in his previous life were also colored.

But the colored marble statues and terracotta warriors and horses... always feel a bit like farmhouse. To be honest, I still hope they have no color.

Li Wei, the unartistic young man, shook his head and looked away.

Surrounded by small objects that he couldn't name, Levi hesitated for a moment and was thinking about whether to ask about that eye now, but suddenly he saw a small tea cup quietly placed in a glass cabinet. Light.

The tea cup is old blue-black, with dark blue flares on it. Tiny white crystals are inlaid on it, reflecting the luster of the metal, like the wings of a butterfly, the goddess of light.

Li Wei couldn't help being attracted to this tea cup, and held his breath to look at it carefully.

You know, in this era when color aesthetics are still very primitive, such a small tea cup is like Van Gogh's starry sky surrounded by classical paintings, proudly declaring its uniqueness.

Levi clearly remembered this tea bowl. His old man liked to drink tea, and his father gave him a tea set like this on his 70th birthday. It was just a modern restoration.

"Haha, this is the 'Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl', but I prefer to think of it as the starry sky in the bowl."

Pierre came over and said with a proud smile: "Its origin is extraordinary. I got it from a Japanese man. Its father was a samurai of the Japanese emperor. He was attacked by a coup during the Restoration period. He was implicated, so he stole this thing from the palace and fled to Phoenix."

"But later his father made a fortune, so he was reluctant to sell it... But his son was a gambler. Not only did he lose the family fortune, he also lost the tea cup to me."

Pierre smiled, lowered his head and said: "It's very beautiful, isn't it? This is the pinnacle of Japanese skills..."

However, upon hearing these words, Levi trembled slightly.

"Japanese country?"

"Yes." Pierre did not notice Levi's mood changes.

"Fart, this is our thing,"

Levi stood up. In Pierre's surprised eyes, his words turned cold at this moment. He pointed at the tea cup and spoke.

"This is a treasure of China. She comes from the distant Song Dynasty, from Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang. Her body comes from the uncanny workmanship of skilled craftsmen. Her glaze color comes from the creation of Zhongli, a furnace with a thousand and two hundred degrees. She declares a great ancient times. The prosperity and abundance of the empire.”

"She traveled across the ocean, but it was given to our country as a gift. The so-called emperor was just a minister who knelt down to accept her, not her master." Li Wei said coldly.

"It's just that we haven't been able to guard her for the time being, but that doesn't mean that she can be defiled by a group of foreign devils."

"How much does this tea cup cost? I..."

However, the next moment, Levi's fingers suddenly stopped, and the words he blurted out were stuck in his mouth.

Because he realized something at this moment.

It was as if a giant hand had closed around his throat, making his anger look ridiculous for a moment.

Pierre spoke before him, and he asked the question cautiously.

"Sir...where is China?"

The air was quiet.

The tea cup quietly reflected the faint blue light, and the flares on it were like drops of tears.

Levi's fingers slowly lowered.

Pierre was too slow to notice that the anger in Levi's eyes disappeared.

Instead, there was a hint of sadness.
