Chapter 35 Rewards
Hearing David Rochela's question, Fehling put down the bottle-shaped bronze vessel.
With a master-level appraisal of antique jewelry, the loopholes in this bottle-shaped bronze ware became very clear in front of his eyes.
he said.
"This is a high imitation, but although it is a high imitation, it is very realistic in terms of shape, craftsmanship, inscriptions, decorations, etc. No wonder the chief appraiser of Rochera can't see it."
David Rochela wanted to embarrass him, and he naturally wouldn't save face for David Rochela.
Since you said that you are not sure, but I will assume that your level is limited, and you are really not sure.
"Oh, I don't know where Director Socks judged that this is a high imitation?"
Hearing Fei Lin say this is a high imitation, David did not panic at all.
"Guessing" is useless, it is useful to be able to find out where the loophole is.
And for that loophole, he was extremely confident.
Even he discovered the loophole several times later, and he didn't think the other party from the small laboratory could find the loophole.
"This is a high imitation of a bronze ware from the late imperial period more than a thousand years ago. The inscription is indeed the Yela script of the imperial period. There is no problem, but."
Having said that, Fei Lin paused before speaking.
"The text of each period has its own font style. Although this bronze ware has no problem in terms of text, it has the serpentine style of the Duchy period in terms of font style."
"The style of writing in the Principality period will appear on the relics of the Empire period, which is obviously problematic."
Felin glanced at David Rochera and said.
"It seems that Rochera's chief appraiser's skills in inscription style need to be improved."
‘I actually saw it, I was actually seen by this guy! ’
Hearing Fei Lin point out that there is a problem with the font style, David was easily absent, and was extremely stunned.
The opponent who only came from the small laboratory, actually has this level of identification, not only can he find the flaws that he almost failed to find, but it takes far less time than him.
And when he heard that the other party mentioned him with "the identification knowledge he has mastered", he was depressed and aggrieved, and there was a strong anger in his heart but he couldn't vent it.
Forced by the formality, he responded sullenly.
"Director Sawkes... said it."
Obviously he wanted to lose face of Ferrin Sookes, but he didn't want to lose face on the contrary, one could imagine how aggrieved he was at this time.
"Crack."
Sudden applause sounded, and David's face became gloomy.
He actually dared to clap his hands and ridicule himself. He couldn't deal with Feilin Sookes. Couldn't he still deal with a small clerk?
He looked towards the direction of the sound.
However, when he saw the person clapping his hands, the gloom on his face disappeared again, and his heart became more and more aggrieved.
This is also a person he can't deal with!
"Awesome, it's really amazing, it was indeed the right decision to hire Mr. Sookes as the appraisal supervisor!"
A man with glasses and a small beard stepped forward, smiled and stretched out his hand to Fei Lin, and said.
"Mr. Sookes, I'm Nissa Hallowan, general manager of Daweed Auction House."
Everyone in the appraisal department saw that the chief appraiser and Fei Lin, the appraisal supervisor, were not dealing with each other, and they chose to stay out of it and were unwilling to get involved.
But as the general manager of Daweed Auction House, he doesn't care about this, because he is the one with the highest position in the Constant City branch of Daweed Auction House, and he doesn't need to look at anyone's face.
"Okay, General Manager Nisa."
Seeing Nissa Hallowyn's kindness, Fei Lin reached out and shook hands with Nissa Hallowyn.
"Director Sox is really young and promising."
Nishahalo looked at Fehling and said with a smile.
The reason why he appeared here is because he arranged for someone to pay attention to the situation on the appraisal department. As soon as Ferrin Sookes appeared in the appraisal department, he immediately got a report.
A little over a month ago, the eldest lady of the main house, Lindy Hallowen, asked him to arrange a vacant post in the auction house for the person in front of him.
Being able to let Lindy Hallowin personally open the back door for her at the Daweed Auction House, the relationship between the person in front of her and Lindy Hallowin must be unusual, which made him curious about the person in front of him.
"General Manager Niza, you have won the prize."
Flynn responded with a smile.
The same words, uttered from Nissa Hallowyn's mouth, and from David's mouth, have obviously different meanings.
"Director Felin is here today for the first time. Why don't I take you around the various departments and get to know each other with the managers."
Nisa Hallowin said enthusiastically.
"That's trouble."
Felin naturally agreed. After all, his purpose in coming to the auction house today was to show his face in the auction house.
Soon, Feline and Nissa Hallowan left.
The people in the appraisal department looked at the ugly chief appraiser with different expressions, and then dispersed.
The chief appraiser wanted to embarrass the new appraisal supervisor, but apparently failed.
Moreover, the new appraisal supervisor seems to have a very deep background, which can be seen from the polite attitude of the general manager of Niza towards him.
After having a "staff meal" at Daweide Auction House at noon, Fei Lin left Daweide Auction House and bought some cakes to go to his sister's house.
After teasing little Kai'Sa for a while, he left his sister's house before his brother-in-law returned.
…
When Feline was spending his rest time, two people visited the Office of the Minister of Guards at the Guards Department in downtown Constantine.
One of them is beautiful, wearing a purple skirt, with curly brown medium-length hair, and a tear mole under his left eye. It is Lindy, who is the deputy director of the Constant City Security Bureau.
"Cough cough..."
The other person is not very old in appearance. He looks like he is in his early forties, but he already has white hair, and he doesn't seem to be in good health. He coughs from time to time.
He is the extremely mysterious Conston City Security Director Dorgi Bai, whom Felin has never seen before.
"Ashamed, the security department has such a scum."
The Minister of Guards was named Duff Campbell, a man with a rich stature.
Facing the incoming security bureau chief and deputy chief, he said with a look of shame.
"Minister Campbell doesn't have to blame himself, the cultists are deeply hidden, and you are just an ordinary person, so it's normal not to find out."
Dorji Bai said comfortingly.
"Don't console me, Ariel Soto is my promoted subordinate, and I can't blame him for failing to detect his true identity."
Duff Campbell shook his head.
"Minister Campbell, Ariel Soto's whereabouts are unknown now. We are here today to ask people who are familiar with Ariel Soto to see if we can get some useful information."
Lindy said.
"No problem, the security department must cooperate fully, I just hope that the security bureau can catch this scum of the security department as soon as possible."
Duff Campbell made a quick statement.
"Thank you very much. In addition, in order to ensure the authenticity of the news, the Security Bureau will use some extraordinary measures, and I hope to understand."
Lindy hesitated and said.
"I know the rules of the Security Bureau, don't be embarrassed, please do it with confidence."
Duff Campbell nodded in understanding.
He naturally knew what the extraordinary means Lindy was talking about, it must be a secret technique such as hypnosis and lie detection.
Naturally, he was unwilling, but when such a thing happened in the Ministry of Guards, he had no right to refuse at all.
…
After the holiday ended a day later, Fehling took a car to the Security Bureau in the morning and pushed open the Security Bureau 201 lounge.
In the heated room, Ivy was sitting on the sofa wearing a white sweater and a black skirt, flipping through a book in her hand.
The close-fitting sweater completely revealed her figure, showing her golden-ratio figure.
Fei Lin pushed the door and was noticed by her, and she raised her head to look at Fei Lin who entered the door.
"morning."
Flynn greeted Ivy.
"morning."
responded indifferently, and Ivy lowered her head again and looked at the book in her hand.
Felin didn't bother her anymore, but came to his safe and opened the secret book that took out the mysterious gun.
Now that the mystery is more than enough, the only thing missing is the cultivation method of the second ring and the third ring. He must read the contents of the back of this secret book as soon as possible in order to improve the mysterious gun.
Moreover, he lacks mysterious knowledge, so he urgently needs to read relevant books to fill his mysterious knowledge.
There is a lot to read, and I hope he can relax for a while so that he has enough time to read related books.
Bang, bang, bang!
It was almost noon when someone knocked on the door of the lounge.
"Come in!"
Feelin said, and a woman with blond hair and thin-rimmed glasses pushed the door and walked in. It was Julie.
She looked at Feline and said.
"Felin, the Deputy Bureau asked you to come to her office."
"Okay, I'll go right now."
Felin remembered Lindy's promise that day, and his heart became hot.
immediately stood up and rushed to Lindy's office impatiently.
Ivy glanced at Julie who came to inform, and then at Fei Lin, a little puzzled in her heart, not understanding what happened.
However, she is not a person with excess curiosity, and her attention soon returned to her book.
Came to Lindy's office, Fei Lin knocked on the door and entered the office.
"coming."
Seeing Fei Lin rushing in, Lindy, who was sitting at the desk, opened her slightly wrinkled brows and smiled.
"Deputy Bureau, have you caught Ariel Soto?"
Knowing that he had written his expectations on his face, Fei Lin asked a little embarrassedly.
"Those eyeless monsters should have something to do with Ariel Soto. After that, Ariel Soto hid and hasn't caught it yet."
Lindy shook her head.
"Ah, didn't catch it?"
Feelin was taken aback, and he asked casually, but he didn't expect that something really happened.
The eyeless monster was actually connected to Ariel Soto, and Ariel Soto knew in advance that it had been exposed.
"Don't worry, even though you didn't catch Ariel Soto, you made the Security Bureau aware of the resurgence of the gnawing tooth. You have done a great job, and your reward will not be small."
Lindy said with a smile.
"I'm not worried about this..."
Fehling explained quickly.
"Don't be nervous, I'm joking with you."
Lindy raised her hand to stop Fehling from explaining.
The little joke eased her annoyed mood just now, she said with a smile on her face.
"After consultation with Director Dorji, I decided to reward you with an alchemy item."
(end of this chapter)
Chapter 36 The Eye of Appraisal
"Alchemy items?"
The ?? reward was actually an alchemy item, and Fei Lin's face showed surprise.
Alchemy items are items with extraordinary powers refined by occultists who master alchemy abilities.
Unlike the cursed thing, it has no side effects, but the price is also extremely expensive. Even the cheapest one is worth thousands of gold pounds, or even tens of thousands of gold pounds.
Even though he knew that the Security Bureau has always been very generous, he did not expect the Security Bureau to be so generous and actually reward him with an alchemy item.
"It's this alchemy item, take a look at it."
Lindy pushed a palm-length and wide wooden box to the edge of the desk. Fehling stepped forward and picked it up with some excitement.
Opened the wooden box, and in the wooden box, a strange puppet appeared.
The puppet is carved with the heart of the white boli tree, and the carving process can only be regarded as ordinary according to Fehling's appraisal level, far from being a fine product.
However, on the surface of the puppet, there is a strange blue pattern.
This blue pattern does not seem to be carved or drawn, but it looks like a natural growth.
But according to Fehling's identification knowledge, it is impossible for the heart of the white boli tree to grow blue lines.
The ?? blue pattern is like a strange tattoo, which fills the puppet with a strange and indescribable sense of mystery.
"Deputy Bureau, what is the extraordinary ability of this alchemy item?"
Flynn asked expectantly.
"This alchemical item is called a dummy puppet. It can transfer the damage suffered by the owner to itself. After use, the corresponding position of the dummy puppet will be damaged, and the damage can be automatically repaired, but it cannot be used again until the damage is repaired."
Lindy introduced.
"Stupid puppets? Can you transfer damage?"
Hearing Lindy's introduction to the puppet, Fehling's eyes suddenly became eager.
Good stuff, absolutely good stuff.
Although ?? has no attack power, it is a very valuable alchemy item. After all, this kind of thing can save lives at critical moments.
Whether it is damage transfer or negative state transfer, it can save his life at a critical moment.
What's more precious is that this kind of thing is not a one-time thing, but can be repaired automatically and used repeatedly.
Alchemy items like ?? are absolutely extremely precious.
"Looks like you're satisfied."
Seeing Fei Lin's infatuation, Lindy smiled slightly.
"Satisfied, very satisfied."
Fehling replied quickly.
"This is a Type II alchemy item, and it has no market price, because it is impossible for any occultist and occult organization to sell it."
Lindy said.
"Type II alchemy item?"
Fehling found that he still underestimated the value of this alchemical item.
He was completely blank in mystical knowledge, but because he had seen alchemy items and cursed items, he once inquired about the classification of alchemy items and cursed items with Ivy.
Alchemy items and cursed items are graded by numbers. The higher the number, the stronger the extraordinary power they have.
Type II, the extraordinary ability that can be exerted is at least the level of the fourth ring, and the powerful ones can even exert the extraordinary ability of the level of the sixth ring.
As a Type II alchemy item, it is conservatively estimated at tens of thousands of gold pounds, of which the high value may even exceed 100,000 gold pounds.
He didn't expect the Security Bureau to reward him with such a precious alchemy item.
"The use of this alchemy item requires a drop of blood to establish a connection. Once a drop of blood establishes a connection, it can be activated in a dangerous moment by simply carrying it with you."
Lindy explains how to use it.
Although the ?? Kingdom Security Bureau treats subordinate mystics extremely favorably, it is impossible to treat them to such an extent.
The reason why ?? was rewarded with such a precious alchemy item as Fei Lin is that, on the one hand, the information on the resurgence of the gnawing tooth is extremely important to the Security Bureau, and the other is because of a piece of news about Fei Lin that was obtained not long ago.
Thinking of this, she said.
"Felling, I have something to ask you."
"What's up?"
His attention was withdrawn from the avatar puppet, Fehling wondered.
"Has the current jewelry and antique appraisal level reached the master level?"
Lindy asked with a look of anticipation.
Hearing this question, Fei Lin was surprised.
Although I know that the Security Agency attaches great importance to the information of master-level technology, I have been paying attention to relevant information.
But he didn't expect the Security Bureau's intelligence capabilities to be so strong, and it was inferred that his jewelry and antique appraisal reached a master level from just one antique appraisal.
However, he doesn't need to hide, there is no need to hide his clumsiness, only by showing a high enough talent can he get more training.
He organized the wording and said.
"It should be, but I'm not sure, after all, there is no suitable reference."
"Should be right."
Lindy said with a smile on her face.
"The Security Bureau has paid attention to David Rochela for a while. His appraisal level is very close to the master level, and it is possible to reach the master level."
"But after observation, I found that his potential has been exhausted, and he is a master. Your appraisal level is stronger than that of David Rochela. It should be a master."
A single secret technique is already the limit when it reaches the 12th level. If you want to go further, you need to practice the second secret technique.
Fei Lin can reach the master level in marksmanship and identification, indicating that Fei Lin has the possibility of reaching more than 12 rings.
Even if it was only possible, it was enough that the Security Agency invested heavily in Flynn.
Because of this, the Security Bureau rewarded Fei Lin with a precious Type II alchemy item when Fei Lin was only in the second ring.
"Deputy Bureau, what is the secret technique corresponding to the master appraisal?"
Taking this opportunity, Fei Lin asked for the information that he originally planned to read through books related to mystery.
"It is the eye of esoteric identification."
Lindy said.
"Eye of Appraisal? What kind of secret technique is this?"
Flynn continued to ask.
Lindy said, placing her elbows on the desk with her hands together.
"This is a secret technique that turns eyes into secret organs. It is more of an auxiliary type. It can identify items including alchemy items and cursed items, and obtain information about their abilities and side effects."
"Just have the ability to identify?"
Hearing this, Fehling was a little disappointed.
The ability of ?? identification is very practical, and its ability is indispensable in any organization. After all, before the cursed object is contained, it is essential to identify the cursed object and obtain information on its ability and side effects.
However, he still wanted a secret technique that could work with the mysterious gun and make up for the lack of the mysterious gun.
From this point of view, the Eye of Appraisal does not meet his requirements.
"Not more than that."
Lindy shook her head and said.
"The Eye of Arcane Appraisal has a second ability."
"There is a second ability, what is the second ability?"
Flynn asked expectantly.
"The second ability of the Eye of Arcane Appraisal is to reduce the side effects of the cursed object, enabling the cursed object to be used at a lower cost."
Lindy smiled.
"Reducing the side effects of cursed things... The Eye of Secret Art Appraisal actually has this ability?!"
Fehling was surprised.
Cursed objects have side effects, and this side effect restricts the use of cursed objects, so that cursed objects cannot be used at will like alchemy items.
Eye of Appraisal can reduce the side effects of cursed objects, and can make some powerful cursed objects that could not be used to be used. The significance of this ability can be imagined.
"You must have been able to guess the meaning of this secret technique."
Lindy looked at Fei Lin and said.
"Um."
Feelin nodded in a good mood. The disappointment and dislike of the Eye of Appraisal just now disappeared.
However, a doubt arose in his heart, he asked.
"Deputy Bureau, how can the Eye of Appraisal have the two very different abilities of appraisal and curse reduction?"
"There is no accepted explanation for this issue."
Lindy thought about it and said.
"However, there is a saying that the generation mechanism of the cursed thing is likely to be similar to the identification mechanism of the Eye of Appraisal."
"Because of this similarity, the Eye of Appraisal can reduce the side effects of the cursed thing to a certain extent."
"Is the production mechanism similar to the identification mechanism?"
Fehling wrote down this explanation, hoping to have a chance to test whether this conjecture is true in the future.
"What are you going to do, do you wait until the mysterious spear is upgraded to the 12th level in the future and then practice the Eye of Appraisal, or do you practice the Eye of Appraisal now?"
Lindy asked with a slightly serious expression.
"I plan to practice the Eye of Appraisal now."
Felin thought for a moment and said.
He knew the drawbacks of ?? concurrent cultivation, it would slow down the speed of the original secret art practice, after all, the energy was scattered.
When ?? applied to him, the mystery points were scattered to the eye of the secret technique appraisal, resulting in a decrease in the number of mystery points used on the original secret technique and mysterious spear, and the speed of improvement was relatively slow.
Even so, he intends to do both.
On the one hand, it’s because you have to practice both in the future anyway, so it’s better to practice both in advance, so that the secret arts can complement each other and make up for the weaknesses.
On the other hand, as a member of the Security Bureau, he is destined to deal with monsters and cultists with various abilities.
In the face of monsters and cultists with various abilities, mastering a variety of secret techniques makes it difficult for you to be restrained, and your survivability will be stronger.
"For you, there are pros and cons to practicing in sequence and practicing concurrently. Since you have already decided, I won't say much."
Lindy nodded and said.
"The training of the Eye of Secret Art Evaluation requires the combination of the Enlightenment Ceremony and the Secret Art Potion Wrangle Potion. The two together are worth about three thousand gold pounds."
"As a special talent, the Security Bureau will prepare an enlightenment ceremony for you to practice the corresponding secret arts for free, but it means the first time. Now you are the second time, and it is not in the category of free."
"Considering that you can't take out so many gold pounds now, the Security Bureau will advance it for you, and then it will be deducted from your weekly salary until it is repaid."
"I have no opinion."
Flynn agrees.
rewarded him with an alchemy item worth at least tens of thousands of gold pounds. The Security Bureau has already treated him extremely favorably, and he did not expect that the cost of the second practice of secret arts would also be exempted.
After all, as a huge organization, it is impossible for the Security Bureau to concentrate all its resources on him.
he asked expectantly.
"When can the initiation ceremony take place?"
"Julie can complete the arrangement of the enlightenment ceremony, but Wrangell's Pharmacy cannot be stored for a long time. It needs an occultist with the ability to refine secret medicine to prepare it now."
"The Constant City branch of the Security Bureau doesn't have a magician in this area. I'll go to a place with me in the afternoon and entrust someone there to help refine the Wrangell's potion."
Linthillo said after thinking.
