[Tomorrow Monday, a new week, I hope everyone can vote for Laoyue tomorrow and help Laoyue rank on the list, please! 】

Although Merlin felt that old Aita was a bit baffling, since Kelly said that the old man was highly accomplished in identifying antiques from the Morta Empire period, he had no worries, and bowed slightly to old Aita and shouted respectfully. Said: "Merlin is willing to learn from the teacher!"

"very good."

The old man Aita had a livid complexion just now, but his expression changed in an instant, and he began to laugh: "Merlin, you will come in the afternoon and start learning some basic knowledge of antique identification."

Merlin was not sure about the temper of the old man Aita and did not dare to object, so he nodded and said that he would come in the afternoon, and then the old man Aita sent Merlin and Kelly out of the door.

"Miss Kelly, who is Teacher Aita?"

Merlin finally couldn't help it and asked Kelly.

Kelly pondered for a while, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Aita seems to have come to Blackwater City from somewhere else. He is the only one who has never seen any relatives. He is a bit withdrawn and only likes to collect some antiques. I I also met Mr. Aita by accident and asked him for some knowledge about antiques. Even when I encountered some antiques that I did not understand, I also came to ask Mr. Aita. As for other things about Mr. Aita, I am not very interested. clear."

Merlin nodded, then separated from Kelly and returned to the castle in a carriage.

In the afternoon, Merlin came to the old man Aita's small building again.

Originally, Merlin had an aristocratic etiquette class in the afternoon, but thinking of the eccentric temper of old Aita, Merlin finally decided not to go to the etiquette class for the time being, and came to old Aita to learn the appraisal of antiques first.

At this time, the sky had cleared up, and the snow had fallen for a full day. It has finally stopped, but the air was still very cold. Merlin also wrapped his coat tightly, went up to the second floor, and knocked on the door of old Aita.

Soon, the door opened, and when old Aita saw that it was Merlin, his face was very indifferent.

"It's on time, not bad."

The old man Aita didn't say anything, and let Merlin enter the door.

The room seemed to be warmer than it was in the morning. Merlin was wearing a fluffy coat, and he felt a faint heat. After hesitating, he took off his coat.

Merlin came to the fireplace. Old Aita seemed to like sitting here. Merlin saw a thick book by the fireplace.

Old Aita looked up at Merlin, and then said: "Antique is the precipitation of history. An antique may carry a special historical period. Therefore, if you want to understand antiques, you must be knowledgeable and profound. The historical background of antiques, such as the antiques of the Morta Empire that you like, if you want to truly identify the antiques of this period, you must first understand the Morta Empire. You know that the most important thing in the Morta Empire is what?"

Merlin shook his head, he knew very little about the Morta Empire.

"It is writing, a unified empire. Writing is essential. Only through writing can we understand many things during the Morta Empire. Of course, writing is also a good way to identify antiques during the Morta Empire. ."

Old Aita immediately picked up the booklet on the table and handed it to Merlin.

Merlin flipped through a page at random, and found that it was densely packed with weird symbols.

He had never seen it before, and the old man Aita explained: "This is the Morta script, the script of the Morta Empire!"

"Morta text?"

Merlin's eyes lit up, these Morta characters are very different from the bright characters used in the Kingdom of Light now. The bright characters are a bit like the Western Latin alphabet of the previous life, and each letter forms thousands of words.

The Morta characters were like strips of tadpoles. From Merlin's point of view, it was impossible to tell the difference between these characters.

"Merlin, if you want to identify the antiques of the Morta Empire, you have to start by learning the Morta script."

Therefore, at Old Man Aita, Merlin began to learn the complicated Morta script.

Learning characters is very boring, but Merlin is full of enthusiasm for learning Morta characters. Perhaps this body is naturally sensitive to characters. When learning Morta characters, Merlin is also quite talented. In one afternoon, He has mastered more than a dozen words.

Of course, learning a new language requires perseverance, and it takes months or even years to master it.

However, although Merlin has some talent in learning words, in other aspects, such as some tips for identifying antiques, checking the materials, patterns, paintings, etc. of antiques, he is much worse, making the grumpy old Aita look angry. livid.

The afternoon passed quickly. Seeing that it was getting dark, old Aita threw the stack of documents on the table to Merlin, and said in a cold tone, "These are some of my experiences in appraising antiques. , take it back and take a good look at it, and ask me if you don’t understand anything. Remember, Morta’s writing is the key, go back and study it carefully.”

Merlin held the information in his hand. Although old Aita's tone was very rude, Merlin was very grateful. The stack of documents in his hand was old Aita's notes. It was quite precious. It was right to give it to Merlin. He takes it quite seriously.

"Mr. Aita, I will definitely study hard when I go back."

After all, Merlin bowed slightly to old Aita, then turned and left the small building.

"call……".

It was cold outside the door, and Merlin was blown by the cold wind, and his mind, which was dizzy, was much clearer. He had already seen Moss' carriage.

"Moss, go back to the castle!"

Merlin got into the carriage, straightened his legs, leaned his back on the carriage, and rubbed his head lightly with both hands. Today, he was studying with old Aita. Although it was very tiring, it was the most fulfilling time he had ever had since he came to this world. one day.

*****

After a sumptuous dinner, Merlin returned to his room, sat in front of the writing desk, put the information given by Old Aita in the afternoon on the table, and looked at it carefully.

It was indeed old Aita's experience in the appraisal of antiques, especially some details, which gave Merlin a new understanding of antiques.

After watching it for a while, Merlin stopped reading it. It involved a lot of professional knowledge in the identification of antiques. Merlin was still far behind, and it was useless to read it.

So Merlin began to practice the more than a dozen Morta words he had just learned. Merlin picked up the white quill in the pen holder, and gently practiced the Morta words on the white paper.

He wrote it over and over again to deepen his memory, but Merlin suddenly felt that these Morta words seemed familiar.

"Where have you seen it?"

Merlin frowned, Morta's words, he remembered very clearly, it should be the first time he came into contact with old Aita in the afternoon, but this kind of feeling that made him feel familiar should not be wrong.

So Merlin closed his eyes gently, and pictures kept flashing in his mind.

Finally, Merlin remembered, he opened his eyes suddenly, immediately got up and took out the mysterious relief from the head of the bed, he carefully stared at the weird lines on the relief.

Merlin drew the pattern on the relief on the paper, and then compared it with the Morta character. It was clear at a glance that the pattern on the relief was not a pattern at all, it should be a Morta character.

It's just that Merlin has only just come into contact with the Morta text, and he doesn't know the Morta text on the relief, but this is a very valuable clue.

If you figure out the meaning of the Morta text on the relief, you may be able to know the origin of the relief.
