Chapter 185 Ancient Market in the Sun
From the direction of Syntagma, follow Metropolitanstreet, pass a cathedral, and come to a square covered with polished marble. This is the beginning of the Monastrar*i second-hand market.
Fell. Nanke was in front, and the scorpion was behind. Everyone gathered Qier, Ye Feng, Locke and Pluto and walked to the market.
Monastir is one of the busiest markets in Athens. Today happens to be a day off. Fortunately, everyone came early. If they come a few hours later, there would be more people at that time, and it would be difficult to walk. Because the alley is very narrow and the street is not wide. However, they are all paved with bluestone slabs, clean and tidy.
Don't underestimate these seven-fold alleys. It seems that everything in the world is concentrated here. From antiques to old newspapers, from Nazi uniforms to Mickey Mouse clocks, even old-fashioned Roman helmets can be seen here.
Everyone is amazed that the things here are good and cheap. Especially Pluto, he never knew that there would be such a rich thing in the human world, and his eyes could not see it. Locke had to hold Pluto's hand tightly and remind him from time to time: "Let's go. If you don't go, you will get lost."
Along the way, you will see a lot of strange things. They even saw some sellers directly use van boxes as stalls. Many things are suspected to be antiques, because they can't tell whether they are old or new imitations.
"You can do whatever you like. As long as you can hold it, I won't help you carry anything. Scorpion, remember to pay the bill. Phil. Nanke was also attracted by antiques and distinctive gadgets that did not know whether they were true or false.
You can't resist and can't help but want to buy it, which is the greatest charm of Monastir.
The streets are very long, and the alleys are also folded. There are not only locals in Athens, but also yellow people and Africans from Asia.
The pine cabinet between a jewelry store and a furniture store is full of ceramics, marble products, terracotta pottery, various copper and silver plates, old-fashioned chandeliers and phonophonics... Finally, everyone saw all kinds of ancient swords, helmets, lock armor, shields, sharp axes and * piled up on the ground. Miscellaneous things.
Fell. Nanke stopped in front of this store. The seller is a sophisticated and smooth young man. Seeing that the guests were interested in the ancient sword, he immediately enthusiastically introduced: "This, look at this one, this is the golden sword used by the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Kafler; this sword killed countless enemies, accompanied by Caesar for 60 years, claiming that 'draw the sword will see blood, and come out of the sheath will take the soul'; this, look at this bronze sword, which is buried underground. More than 5,000 years later, the sword body is still shining with dazzling blue light, cold, and there is no trace of rust. It is the ancient Chinese Yuewang sword; this, and this, this, is Napoleon's diamond sword... Hey, why did you leave? You haven't made an offer yet. It's very cheap. It only costs ten euros.
In the sigh of the seller, everyone walked forward talking and laughing.
"What a pit brother. Do you think we don't understand history?" Locke laughed back and forth.
"That's right, Caesar died at the age of 58. He actually said that the sword accompanied Caesar for 60 years. Fainted, did Caesar start to dance the sword in his mother's womb? Even Ye Feng, who is a little introverted, has already laughed so much that his stomach hurts.
"And he also danced in his mother's womb for two years. No wonder he didn't hurt his mother to death." Qi'er almost burst out of breath with a smile.
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!" Phil. Nanke laughed until tears flowed out, "Do you know? Napoleon's diamond sword was auctioned for $6.4 million in Paris by Tom. Billcha's aunt went to bid. Oh, by the way, I heard from Bill that his aunt is a descendant of Napoleon. Hahaha..."
A group of young people laughed all the way, and their laughter attracted many passers-by and traders. People cast surprise and envious eyes on these handsome men and women.
"Napoleon's diamond sword is not a mascot. It is said that the diamond inlaid on the hilt is quite evil." Ye Feng said.
"Why? Then let me tell you about it!" Qi'er asked curiously.
According to records, in 1701, in a mining area, an Indian slave killed three slaves who found diamonds, cut his legs, hid diamonds in wounds, and escaped from the mining area. When a sailor tried to sell diamonds, the slave was killed, the sailor was killed by other sailors, and the captain killed the sailor with diamonds. Later, the captain died, the diamond fell into the hands of a merchant, the merchant died, and then fell into the hands of a general... When the diamond was turned over to Napoleon and set it on the supreme sword, the diamond took dozens of lives. Napoleon himself failed to escape bad luck. In the end, he was defeated by Waterloo and exiled to a desert island.
"It's too bloody and cruel!" Qi'er was so frank that she felt scared.
"The most dazzling is often a poppy flower blooming in blood." Phil. Nanke summed it up.
"Classic, so incisive!" Locke couldn't help raising his thumbs up and praising.
"What, I saw it on the Internet, do you think I said it?" The corners of the lips have a curvature, Phil. Nanke's face opened a naughty smile.
"That Tom. Has Billcha's aunt suffered any bad luck? Locke asked curiously.
"Yes, of course there is. Not long ago, Dulo. Perez came to talk about Tom. Hills was assassinated.
Tom. What does it have to do with Hills and his aunt? Pluto finally withdrew his eyes from those dazzling goods.
"It's related, of course it's related. Because of Tom. Billcha's aunt is old Tom's lover. She is a widow, didn't she suffer bad luck? Hahaha..." Phil. Nanke laughed again.
The scorpion shook his head with a wry smile. He felt that the master was becoming less and less like the master, just like a child. At this time, the scorpion is both a bodyguard, an accountant and a nanny. He wears the helmet of an ancient Roman warrior, which is wanted by Ye Feng; he hangs a small golden bow on his shoulder, which is said to be Cupid, which is wanted by Pluto; he holds a bronze mirror in his left hand, which is said to have been used by the ancient Chinese court queen, which is wanted by Qier; he carries a guitar on his back, which is said to be Michael. . Jackson played what Locke wanted; he still carried the suitcase in his right hand, which contained all the possessions of everyone's trip.
The scorpion shook step by step, and his eyes had to stare at the group walking in front of him, and he had to protect them. Alas, it's tiring to be a bodyguard! The scorpion sighed in his heart.
After walking one street after another, I didn't see Yao. When everyone was tired, they sat down in the coffee shop next to the street to drink coffee and eat snacks.
When Locke saw a young man reading a newspaper sitting in front of the window near the street, he got up and walked over and said, "Hello, can I borrow a newspaper to read?"
The young man did not speak, just nodded, and then took a few copies of the newspaper in his hand and handed them to Locke's hand.
"Thanks!" Locke took over the newspaper. Locke stood and looked down. He saw the young man's face. This is an Englishman. He has short brown hair and a slightly curved nose as sexy as an eagle hook. Locke couldn't help looking at it, but the British were wearing sunglasses and Locke couldn't see his eyes.
Everyone drinks coffee, eats snacks, and reads the newspaper by the way. Locke was reading the newspaper while chatting with Ye Feng and Qier. Pluto saw the magazines piled up on the counter. He picked up a lot and sat down to read them. Pluto saw the " Playboy" magazine. The cover was full of beautiful girls. With just a glance, his eyes lit up.
"It is not suitable for children." Phil. Nanke grabbed the " playboy" and threw it behind the counter.
"You... are so domineering!" Pluto stared at Phil with resentful eyes. Nanke. He couldn't beat it, and he couldn't grab it. He had no choice but to frown and drink bitter coffee while staring at the street boredly.
"It's true!" Tom, the leader of the American mafia. Hills was assassinated, causing a romantic Carlo. Dan is suspected of being hunted down by little Tom.'" Locke saw the headlines in the newspaper.
"Quick, show me!" Phil. Nanke grabbed the newspaper in Locke's hand, "Well, have I guessed it? Carlo. Dan has always been bold. A year ago, he became a supermodel Ou Ye. Flonie has been by Tom. Hills chased the rat. Now Tom. When Hills dies, he will naturally suspect him. Alas, maybe he is looking for me everywhere now. In the past, he always looked for me and muddy. I'm afraid you have to drag me into the water again this time. However, based on what I know about him, he should not have the courage to kill Tom. Hills should have someone else.
Although Phil. Nanke spoke in a small voice, but the Englishman sitting in front of the window heard it, and his two hands holding the newspaper shook.
"So, who is so bold to pull out his teeth in the tiger's mouth?" Locke asked.
Fell. Nanke turned his eyes to Ye Feng and said, "I suspect the assassination of Tom. Hills, the assassination of Chiki Hoshino and the pursuit of Ye Feng may be the same person or the same gang.
Locke thought of "Nanke". In the Nan chair, Ye Feng and Qier were once attacked by the Yamaguchi Group.
"Is it the Yamaguchi Group, fighting in the nest?"
Fell. Nanke lowered his voice and said, "I have received the news that the leader of the Hoshino Group, the branch of the Yamaguchi Group in the Americas, has been taken over by Mihimiko, the daughter of Chiki Hoshino. It is said that this Mijiko is a master of judo and kendo that have reached seven stages. I also heard that Mijizi often goes in and out of Lanweika Fantasy Century Restaurant.
Fell. Nanke's words were already very quiet, and he was almost biting his ear with Locke. However, the Englishman sitting at the window with his hand holding the newspaper shook again.
"Do you suspect that it was done by Meijizi?" Locke said.
"Well, it's very likely." Phil. Nanke said, "Do you remember the female killer who shot me? Now I suspect that she is Mijiko.
How is it possible? Even if she is a master of judo and kendo, how can she have so much power? Also, didn't you say that she ran faster than any sports car?
"This is also what I don't understand. However, I have a feeling that we are not far from the answer.
"However, we haven't found it yet."
"No hurry, wait, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
The two stopped talking. Locke wanted to rest. He stood up to return the newspaper. He didn't know when the Englishman had left.
Locke put the newspaper on the counter. After eating and drinking, everyone lay in the lounge to rest. Fortunately, it is the off-season for tourism. There are not many people, and everyone has a place to rest.
When they walked out of the Monastilla thrift market and came to the square, night had come.
