Chapter 212 Antiquities Protection Association (for Subscription~)

Xifa looked at the old man next to him for a moment, then knocked on the bar: "I need a quiet room."

San Qi said softly: "No one is using the card room tonight."

Xifa stood up and said to the old man, "Do you mind if we change places?"

The old man drank all the wine in his glass and put on his hat: "Please lead the way."

When they came to the card room in the tavern, Xifa closed the door and said straightforwardly, "Are you the seller of 'Devil May Cry'?"

"That's right, I've owned it for a while, not to mention its three extraordinary abilities, just the unique shape, which has fascinated me for a long time."

The old man took off his coat and hat, and exposed himself to Xifa's sight in a defenseless posture.

Cifar pulled a chair and sat down: "Since you like it so much, why did you sell it at such a low price."

The old man smiled and said, "Before answering this question, please allow me to introduce myself."

"I'm Oswald Kevin, and I'm one of the members of the Antiquities Conservation Association. Our association is engaged in the collection and protection of antiquities."

The old man who called himself Oswald Kevin spread his hands: "Our members are spread all over the north and south continents, and even Rorsted Islands and Gargas Islands also have our branches and workstations."

"By collecting ancient documents from various places, through local legends, combined with its history and other elements, we discovered many ancient ruins, and recovered various valuable ancient relics inside."

"We recycle, we protect, this is the original intention of our association, and it has been implemented."

After a pause, Oswald smiled and said, "Mind if I smoke?"

"up to you."

The old man took out a delicate iron box and opened it. Inside was a row of cigars. He looked at Xifa: "You want one too?"

Xifa shook his head: "I don't smoke, they will affect my judgment."

"Very professional."

Oswald picked up one of them, and picked up a tool from the box, a cigar cutter commonly known as the 'guillotine'.

After cutting off the cap of the cigar, the old man lit it with a match, put it to his mouth and took a puff. During the whole process, his movements were orderly, smooth and elegant, perfectly reflecting the image of a gentleman in Loen.

"Usually, when excavating ruins, we will hire local people as labor, but you also know that there are often dangers in some ruins. At this time, professionals are needed to explore."

Oswald shrugged his shoulders: "However, old guys like us don't have the energy to do this kind of work at all. So association members like me usually hire three or five professionals with good skills."

"I mean Extraordinary."

"Not long ago, a very capable guy under me failed to come back because of carelessness. Therefore, I need to add new blood."

Hearing this, Xifa roughly understood, but he asked another question: "If this is the case, why not open recruitment, but go around such a big circle, half selling 'Devil May Cry'?"

"Because we're not welcome."

Oswald smiled and said relaxedly: "Whether it is the official or some organizations, they don't like the many ancient relics we have, especially some of them are powerful sealed items."

"Under this premise, if the public recruitment is adopted, then I am already lying in the grave. Maybe there will be a beautiful girl shed a tear for me, but more people will be happy to see me turned into a corpse .”

Xifa said calmly: "You are very humorous."

Oswald sighed: "When you reach my age, you will be so humorous. Otherwise, you will be overwhelmed by the dull life."

Xifa has not yet reached the age of empathy with an old man, so he returned to the topic: "So, selling Devil May Cry is an alternative form of recruitment?"

"It can be understood in this way." Oswald spit out a smoke ring and said, "Although I urgently need to replenish new blood, it's not just anyone who likes it."

"First of all, those who work in this industry need to have a common language, so that getting along will be more pleasant, work efficiency will be higher, and you as 'employees' will be more active."

"So, liking ancient objects must be the first priority. Therefore, I bought the appraiser at the party and asked him to hide the detailed information of 'Devil May Cry', and only mentioned the two elements of ancient objects and magical items."

"Twenty thousand one hundred pounds is not a small amount. If it is only for magical items, given the unclear details, few people would buy Devil May Cry."

"Only collectors who are interested in antiquities and are keen on this aspect are willing to spend money."

The old man chuckled: "Of course, being interested in antiquities is not enough, I also need the 'employee' to be a Extraordinary, so after you bought that thing, I immediately launched an investigation on you. If you are just a Ordinary people, then I will buy back from you soon, of course at a more attractive price."

"But I'm very surprised. The results of the survey show that you are not only an extraordinary person, but also have remarkable achievements."

"That's the main reason why I'm here now."

"So, are you interested in joining us?"

Without waiting for Xifa to answer, Oswald said in a casual tone: "Oh, by the way, when I was investigating you, I found that some other people were also collecting your information."

"So I took it upon myself to mislead them a bit, and I hope you don't mind."

I don't mind at all!

Xifa said in a deep voice, "How do you know I'm here?"

He has the 'Embrace of the Night' and the 'Guilty Bandage' on him that can interfere with divination and psychic communication, so it shouldn't be so easy to be discovered.

But this old man actually found Enqi Town, which made Xifa have to be careful.

Oswald showed a proud smile: "First of all, I am rich. In this world, money can do many things; secondly, I have contacts. I have news channels from all walks of life and cities."

"So you see, with money and good information, it's not particularly difficult to find someone."

He didn't find it through extraordinary power!

"Don't worry, I have blocked the news about your current location and made some arrangements. If someone wants to find you in the same way, he will probably have to go to sea in the end."

Oswald lured like an old fox: "As long as you join, our association will provide you with services like this for free."

"We will also open a promotion channel for newcomers. You can accumulate contributions in exchange for some items, knowledge, and news in our association. When your contributions are enough, you can be promoted and have the opportunity to become a newcomer like me. committee."

"At that time, you don't need to take risks, you just need to sit at home and lie down to make money."

Tsk, why do you sound like an MLM organization?
