The Troubles of the Young Wizard

The black market ushered in a group of special guests. Unlike others who need to cover their heads and faces, they wear uniform uniforms (members of the Archaeological Appraisal Society wear Drake Senior Academy uniforms, and the Boy Scouts wear military uniforms). The main entrance walked in, and groups of three or five started to scan the goods at the stalls on both sides of the black market at the same time.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Carter? Would you like to look at my baby and give me some advice by the way." A stall owner is very familiar with Mr. Carter, and at first he was a little confused about the origin of these people and why each student was behind There were one or two "soldiers" personally protected, and now when I saw the figure of Teacher Carter, I immediately guessed a lot of things.

Leading students to do social practice is something that many senior college teachers would do, but they didn’t expect that Teacher Carter would not take them to dig graves and inspect the monuments, but instead took them directly to this place where the real and the fake are indistinguishable. Up.

　　Ms. Carter is their main customer and also a very popular customer, because he needs a lot of "antiques", even if he knows it is a fake, he will buy it back at a relatively low price, as long as he comes, he is not afraid of no business.

"Although I really want to patronize your business, let's forget it this time. I'm still taking the students. I will definitely take a closer look next time." Teacher Carter didn't think he was disgusted, and he didn't care if he was regarded as a fat sheep. You won’t lose a piece of meat, and you can see some good things that other people can’t see. It doesn’t matter what your reputation is.

Mr. Carter, the Big Sheep of Drake Advanced College, brought a group of little Sheep to the black market. The news spread throughout the black market in an instant, so the contents of the stalls behind quickly nearly doubled, and the stall owners who originally planned to take a rest also renewed one by one. Apply for an opening.

"Teacher, I have found the goal of authenticating today. I want to identify this ancient artifact!" Soon the first student who applied for the appraisal appeared, and others cast their surprised glances. This speed is too fast, isn't it? .

　　 Seeing the exquisite but old-fashioned sailing compass in the student's hand, Carter couldn't help but understand that the student's father seemed to be a maritime merchant. No wonder he was so confident.

　　 "Are you here or me?" Teacher Carter cast his gaze on Little Will, who shook his head slightly: "Listen to what he said first, and then we two will make comments together. I hope he won't be too disappointed."

So a group of members of the archaeological appraisal society gathered around, and the student holding the nautical compass started his own appraisal process under the instruction of Teacher Carter: "The nautical compass is one of the important inventions of ancient people’s navigation, and it has an indelible position in the history of navigation. And credit. As early as five thousand years ago, our human race invented the navigation compass. The original compass was not what it is now, but it is called Sinan."

"Si Nan consists of a "spoon" and a "ground". Sinan spoon is made of a whole piece of magnet. Its magnetic south pole end is cut into a long handle, and the bottom of the circle is its center of gravity, which is very smooth. The site is a copper square plate, with a smooth circular groove in the center, engraved with grid lines and words indicating 24 directions."

"This is the earliest HNA pointing tool, but although Sinan can point, it is not easy to make, and because Sinan's clumsy precision is not enough, the difference in the vast sea is a thousand miles away. It has been improved by countless navigators. Later the guide fish and now the more and more accurate navigation compass. "The student is obviously very proficient in the history of navigation.

"This is a HNA compass of the great nautical era. It has a history of more than two thousand years. It is also the first masterpiece of the nautical compass. According to the record, "The boat master knows geography, while watching the stars at night, while watching the sun during the day." Observing the navigation compass.” When the original navigation compass was just emerging, the accuracy is still somewhat inaccurate, at least not as accurate as the straight direction of the sun, moon, and stars."

"Look at this part of everyone. Early nautical compasses actually needed water injection. The friction was reduced under the buoyancy of water, making the compass needles rounder and pointing more accurate. This compass is slightly exquisite in workmanship, which fits the style of the time. The whole is generous and simple, with some decorations. It should be dedicated to a sailing family. As for which family you need to go back and compare it carefully."

　　 "So, my conclusion is that this nautical compass is a genuine product, more than two thousand years ago, and it belongs to the product of the great nautical era. Please give me some advice." The student raised his brow very proudly.

　　 Teacher Carter couldn't help being a little funny, and turned his gaze to Ville, who shook his head and said, "I'll do it, and I won't let the smug guys in the dark say that there is no one in our academy."

Little Ville took the compass in his hand, pointed to an inconspicuous ornament and said, "Have you seen this ornament? I don't know what the producer thinks, or that he is processing multiple antiques at the same time. It was easy to carve the pattern, so I carved the ornamentation of a big family in the kingdom of Carmen. Do you know how long the history of the kingdom of Carmen is?"

This question is a little bit smashing. The kingdom of Carmen was only 500 years old. The student was slightly dissatisfied and said: "It may also be similar decorations, not necessarily the same, perhaps just a coincidence. The style of this nautical compass is simple and simple. , Obviously an old object."

"Of course it's more than this. Don't you feel the weight when you hold it in your hand?" Little Weir said casually. After all, the student was born in a sailing family and was stunned. Suddenly his face turned red, as if thinking about it. what.

"The material for the chassis of this nautical compass is only available in the last few hundred years. It is lightweight and waterproof. It is the standard equipment of most nautical compasses. It seems to be very similar to copper in appearance, but in fact it is not the same thing at all. It's a fake, and I'm sure the history of this thing is not more than 20 years, do you know why?" Ville squeezed his eyes abusively, and the group of students shook their heads.

　　 "Take out the magnifying glass and look at this place carefully." Ville pointed to an inconspicuous corner.

　　 The student hurriedly removed the magnifying glass, and after a closer look, he blushed like a cooked crab, "Damn bastard, actually carved the production time in this place using micro-engraving technology."

　　 Everyone laughed in unison after reading them one by one. The imitation maker was actually an elegant man and liked to make such jokes. The stall owner is unknown. So, after seeing the black line on the forehead according to the instructions of Xiaoweier, there is actually time for production, and it is also written in the Kingdom of Carmen calendar. The source is already obvious~www.wuxiaspot.com~Your identification failed. , So it’s a pity that you won’t score this part of this authentic verification activity, but you can buy it back and store it to test other people’s eyesight. It should be known that apart from the incorrect use of materials, this compass is slightly rough, and the old methods rudely affected its lifespan. It is good as an exhibit. "Every time Ville talked about a shortcoming, he made the boss's face darker, and in the end he was almost a match for the bottom of the black pot.

The sailing compass originally priced at one hundred and fifty gold coins was finally bought by the student at the price of eight silver coins. Carter’s evaluation was slightly higher than the real value. The bargaining level needs to be improved. It will be ranked according to the group’s post-group ranking. Give bonus points. The other students just broke up and started their own journey of finding truth.

　　 Lilith quietly leaned to Vill's side and asked softly, "That's a low-level magic weapon."

"The low-level gadget that hasn't gotten started can't be called a magic weapon at all. It is a low-level rune equipment, and I can make it. The value is probably between one hundred and five hundred gold coins." Even the lowest level of extraordinary equipment , Is also more valuable than ordinary antiques, but now Little Ville really looks down on this thing.

　　 In fact, if the stall owner is not misled by him and think about it carefully, he can understand, will the people who are proficient in micro-engraving technology be the general generation? At least he is a master at the master level. Even if the things made by a master are fakes, it is impossible to sell them at such a low price. Therefore, this student has taken a lot of bargains.

　　 "Hey, being able to meet Miss Lilith here is really the refuge of the goddess, the arrangement of fate." Suddenly a surprise voice came from the front, Lilith and Little Weir looked up, um, don't know.
