I can return to the age of mysterious

Chapter 36: 036 Crown Cross Star (third watch of the night)_1 Chapter 36: 036 Crown Cross Star (third watch of the night)_1 “What did you say?” came the voice of the old man from behind the counter.

“I said! How much are these coins?!” Casio raised his voice so that the slightly hard-of-hearing old man could hear him.

“Oh, I heard that, let me come over and have a look.”

In no time at all, the old man came over to the shelf. Casio handed over the seven or eight coins he had in his hand.

The sun shone through the window into the antique shop, and these copper coins had a bit of a reflection. Both of them could clearly see that there was a raised crown logo on the surface of the coins, and even the gemstones on the crown were traceable, and at the top was a cross.

The only thing is, this cross was veered a bit to the right.

“These are Crown Stars coins, I’ll take ten bucks each, not something of value. But if you’re a coin enthusiast, you might want to collect them…”

The old man put down the magnifying glass in his hand and said.

One for ten, all eight total to eighty, quite cheap.

Casio is actually quite principled in his actions. If he really encounters antiques that contain Obsession Energy, after absorbing it, he mostly buys them back on the spot. Otherwise, even though the shop owner might actually be unaware, Casio himself would feel a bit put off.

Of course, if he encounters some antique that really exceeds his tolerance range, Casio would not nor want to be pretentious about it.

After all, he’s the only one who can absorb Obsession Energy, and no one else can identify it. After absorbing the Obsession Energy, the antique remains the same, and the shop can still sell it to others to make money.

Regarding the matter of increasing one’s strength by reasonably using the Golden Finger.

Casio has flexible principles.

“Then I’ll take them all.” He paid for them right away.

A light yellow federal paper money from the Hong Li Federation was pulled out of his pocket. The front had ‘100’ printed on it, and the back had a hairy middle-aged man with a striking hook nose. This middle-aged man was the great Duke of Hong Li from a hundred years ago.

“Wait a moment, I’ll go to the counter and get you your change.”

“No need, old man. The extra twenty can be considered as the cost of the soybean sandwiches, I actually quite like the taste.”

“I’ll find a box for you.” The old man couldn’t help but smile when he heard Casio say he liked the taste of the soybean sandwiches, then immediately picked up a beautiful and delicate wooden box from the shelf.

To be honest.

The price of this delicate box alone is worth more than twenty.

Casio who wanted to be generous actually earned, he felt a bit helpless, but he didn’t haggle over this small matter.

Sometimes, when old people do this, it shows they respect you. Too much modesty will make old people feel that you’re not valuing their good intentions.

Next, Casio found an opportunity to ask the old man about the origin of the coins. These copper coins are obviously from a series, the back is all crowns, and the front is all marked with ’50’.

Although the old man is a bit forgetful, he is familiar with these antiques. This coin with a slanted crown is known as the Crown Cross Star, and its prototype name is: Saint Baswe Crown.

In North Reef Continent, there is a Duchy of Ryant in the north of the Hong Li Federation. The Duchy of Ryant was originally a duchy under the rule of the Puka Dynasty. Of course, that is hundreds of years ago. Now the Puka Dynasty is no more. Going back 700 years…

Duke Baswe inherited his father’s position and became the Duke of Ryant, and later was crowned king. He built the first crown in Ryant Duchy’s history, which is later known as Crown Cross Star. Because he was religious, he placed a golden cross on the top of the crown, which was very luxurious.

Unexpectedly, about two hundred years ago, the crown accidentally fell to the ground and the golden cross on top was knocked askew.

None of the kings at that time and the successive kings thereafter thought to straighten it, and they all wore the slanted crown for their coronations. The subsequent fifty Ryan coins were stamped with this askew crowned cross.

One hundred and fifty years ago, not long after the founding of the Hong Li Federation, a revolution broke out in the Duchy of Ryant. The emperor was pushed onto the guillotine. During the beheading, the spectators scattered coins, staining them with the blood of Volly IV at the time.

Due to its special significance, many people in later generations have collected this kind of coin. However, these items are often imitated. Fifty Ryan coins are abundant, and many are one or two hundred years old.

Who knows which coins are really stained with the emperor’s blood, so this kind of coin is not valuable. Twenty years ago, during the boom times for antiques, it was quite popular. After all, one could buy an antique coin of unknown authenticity with just a little money and brag to friends about the little story behind the coin.

As for now, it’s rather unpopular, only some coin collectors would buy. Regarding the origin of these coins in the old man’s antique shop, the old man himself wasn’t too clear. Because most of the strange and exotic antiques in the shop were sent back by Uncle Yun, who was drifting outside. And Uncle Yun only comes back once a month.

“A month… hopefully, I can stay in Baichuan City until then.” Casio bid goodbye to the old man, picked up the box and walked out of the antique shop. The streets were deserted, with few pedestrians.

The tram car and horse carriage probably wouldn’t pass by here.

“Seems like I can only walk to the main road first…”

*********************
From two o’clock in the afternoon until three fifty, Casio visited more than half of the antique shops in Baichuan City. In fact, most of the time was spent on the road, and the search in the shop was rather efficient. He only needed to check the antiques that had arrived in the last two days.

Other than the unexpected harvest at Daddy’s antique shop, today was the same as usual. On the other hand, he spent over a hundred bucks on transportation.

Thud, his shoes landed on the hard ground.

A tall youth wearing a wide-brimmed hat got off the tram, He looked up at Red Tower Street not far away and then strode towards it, casually throwing the ticket into the trash can on his way.

Creak, the gate of Grey Stamp Martial Arts Hall was pushed open.

At the counter by the door, the old man with bat-like hair was engrossed in reading the newspaper, completely unaware of Casio’s arrival. Only when a shadow blocked the book page did he notice.

“…..” Casio, who lowered his head, retracted his gaze in speechlessness.

The old man had disguised an outer layer of Baichuan City morning newspaper around a thick porn magazine. The pages of the book were printed with sexy, curvaceous girls dressed in the most fashionable clothes. There were also accompanying descriptive stories next to them, including their bust, waist, and hip measurements.

“Ahem…” The old man placed the magazine underneath, coughed awkwardly: “Ah…Trainer Li Wei is here, your booked students are already waiting, here’s the key to the training room.”

Casio smiled, took the keys and turned around to leave.

“How come there’s no sound when you walk, like a ghost…”

The old man muttered a complaint, looked around left and right for a bit, then was reassured and returned to his previous act. Bending down, tucking in his neck, squinting at the middle. His lewd, completely absorbed expression made him look like a pervert.
