Chapter 25 The Stone of Immortality
While Zhang Tie swept away the dust on a counter and saw what was inside, Gerry and Sam, driven by great curiosity, quickly cleaned the dust on a counter next to Zhang Tie, revealing the counter. The truth of those things below.
Even after a thousand years, under the protection of the complete airtightness of the counter, there is still not much dust in the things inside the counter, which makes the things inside even more clear at a glance.
Under the bright green light of the three fluorite lamps, the brilliance of the things inside the counter became even more dazzling, like a deep dream that had been buried for thousands of years.
"This...these things are..." At this moment, both Gerry and Sam became a little uncertain, and an uncertain thought flashed through their heads, but this thought faced a When the counter on the first floor was full of things, it suddenly became "scary", so that both of them couldn't believe that what they saw could be real.
Zhang Tie was also stunned. His mood at the moment was similar to that of Sam and Gerry. He couldn't believe that he would have such luck, because even in this era, near the flea markets near the Black Rock City Railway Station , There are often such swindlers who use those green or dark glass products to pretend to be this expensive special gemstone that can only be produced in the East to lure some fools who want to make a fortune.
Even before the cataclysm, this kind of precious gemstone was also a symbol of the status and wealth of the few people in the Eastern Continent, or more accurately, but in this era, with the emergence of alchemists, this kind of gemstone is also It has been endowed with another more shocking meaning.
This precious gem is called emerald!
A unique emerald.
In this era, outside of the Eastern Continent, this gem has another name - the Stone of Immortality.
Before the cataclysm, this kind of gemstone was very precious, but it was not outrageous. Compared with the diamond gemstone that people admired in that era, the price was still very different, but in this era, the value of the two has been reversed coming.
No one should be so bored to sell fakes here 900 years ago——Zhang Tie looked at the various dark green jewelry and pendants on the counter, and a strange idea came to his mind.
"Peter..."
Hearing Gerry calling his life, Zhang Tie turned his head and glanced at Gerry and Sam who were nervous. It was obvious that the two had already guessed something, but it was really scary, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Just look at it..." Zhang Tie smiled. Even though he is not short of money now, his throat still felt a little dry when he said this.
Zhang Tie was about to make a move, but Sam rushed up the stairs all of a sudden, "You... stay below, and I'll watch from above!"
Zhang Tie knew that Sam was guarding the upstairs for two people. Although Zhang Tie didn't believe that anyone would dare to rush in to disturb them, it was always right to be careful at this time.
After Sam went up, Gerry didn't dare to do it easily, but looked at Zhang Tie.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Tie punched a counter in front of him.
There was a sound from the counter, and a layer of dust on it fell off, but the whole was intact. Zhang Tie was a little stunned. Although he only used three points of his punch just now, it was still very amazing. Even if the punch in front of him It was an iron plate, and it was estimated that it could leave a fist mark, but when it hit the seemingly glass counter, there was no movement.
"Before the cataclysm, the counters of shops selling precious gems and valuables were not made of ordinary glass, but special synthetic materials like glass made by humans in that era to ensure that these things in the counters are kept safe. The material for safety in case of robbers and various accidents looks similar to glass, but its hardness is stronger than steel!" Gerry explained on the side.
Zhang Tie smiled a little embarrassedly, and no longer tried to smash the counter open with violence, but turned to the back of the counter and started to grope. There is a movable sliding door behind the counter. With brute force, he tore off the rusted lock on the sliding door, and easily took out one item from the counter.
It was a bracelet, a dark green bracelet, and with Zhang Tie's vision trained in the grocery store, he immediately judged that this bracelet was definitely not glass, and it was completely different from any gems and stones he had ever seen.
There is not much dust on the bracelet, and it looks very beautiful. When chatting with that guy Tang De before, that guy Tang De once told Zhang Tie some superficial methods of identifying real and fake jade, but at that time Tang De said with a smile, I am afraid Zhang In his entire life, Tie rarely had the opportunity to see what the real stone of eternal life was. The Stone of Eternal Life from the Eastern Continent, in this era, was basically taken into the hands of the powerful forces of the Chinese people, and became the taboo of the alchemists in the Eastern Continent. It’s definitely not that he can’t be an ordinary person. At that time, Zhang Tie’s daily pocket money was only a few copper coins. I believe that he will have the opportunity to touch this precious gem in his life.
Zhang Tie gently pressed the bracelet in his hand to his face.
In an instant, a cool feeling came out from the bracelet.
Taking out the lighter, Zhang Tie unceremoniously moved the bracelet he was holding onto the flame of the lighter.
After more than ten seconds passed, Zhang Tie removed the lighter and wiped the area of the bracelet that had been subjected to the high temperature test with his sleeve—the bracelet was as good as before, without any discoloration, and the texture was as smooth as new.
As a pioneer, of course, Gerry also knew the simplest method to roughly distinguish the authenticity of this precious gemstone, not to mention the low-level green glass used to deceive people in this era, even before the catastrophe, the same There are many fake jadeites in China.
When Zhang Tie was cleaning the bracelet, Gerry also moved his head nervously, fearing that he might not be looking carefully enough, Gerry also lifted the fluorite lamp hanging from his waist and leaned over to his hand, seeing Zhang Tie After the iron was wiped, the bracelet remained unchanged. Gerry took a breath and looked at the counters on the first floor that were covered by dust. Gerry felt his brain congested all of a sudden, his feet swayed, and he stood still. Can't help it.
The most urgent thing is to get rid of these things in front of him, and get rid of them without disturbing anyone. [To be continued "This text is provided by the dawn update group x-on:我爱小娃t".
