Lin Jie was very satisfied with the efficiency of the Tree Merchant Guild.
Of course, he felt that this efficiency was mostly due to Cherry.
It had only been a few days since he had called Cherry. Now, she had sent her housekeeper over. It could be seen how much this little girl cared about his kindness in the past.
Yes, she was a good child who knew how to repay kindness.
"Hello, Butler Edmond." Lin Jie stood up and pulled Moen over, patting her shoulder. "This child needs a new identity, one that is legal and clean."
Edmond said respectfully, "You can call me Edmond."
He then bowed to Moen and said, "Our master has already conveyed your request to us. Your wish is our wish."
"Alright, stop playing." Lin Jie asked Moen to put down the box and cooperate with the ID.
"Oh …" Moen put down the box reluctantly, obviously engrossed in her research.
Edmond's gaze was attracted to the box for a moment. The runes on the box must be a complicated seal set by a light wizard. Who knew what kind of dangerous supernatural item was sealed inside?
And this kind of thing, the owner of the bookstore actually treated it as a toy for this girl to play with … Remember the website: m.9biquge.com.
The next moment, he became alert again and quickly shifted his gaze back. 'Don't look, don't touch!'
His master's warning rang in his heart. 'This bookstore is indeed not simple!'
Although Edmond was shocked, as an experienced butler, he naturally would not show his emotions. He only paused for a moment before he regained his composure.
Edmond asked two people behind him to come out. One of them had a camera, and the other had a strange and complicated device.
A Zier's ID was also a card, but it had extraordinary means that ordinary people did not know about. The real identity was registered on the Truth Society's ether network. Even if ordinary people wanted to forge it, it was impossible to do so.
But the Tree Merchant Guild could. When the ID was first printed, the Truth Society's mechanical science had just started, and their technology was far from enough. It was the druids who helped to contact the remaining dwarven craftsmen to make the machine.
Unlike Luo Er, which had a monopoly on the development of resources, Ying Tree Chamber of Commerce was best at investing and networking. Even the righteous knights from Miiyi Tower, who abhorred evil as their foes, had more than half of their funds sponsored by Ying Tree Chamber of Commerce …
Of course, even if they had the ability, the Bamboo Tree Merchant Guild would not blatantly forge identities. They must have come secretly and rarely used them.
Unless someone at Cherry's level asked directly.
Next, all he had to do was to collect information about the appearance and the aether flow in the deeper layers. After making some slight modifications, he could print the card on the spot.
Lin Jie looked at them and couldn't help but think of himself three years ago.
Steward Edmund spoke again, "Master is currently busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, so he can't come in person for the time being. To express his apologies and gratitude for your help back then, he specially prepared a gift for you. I hope you'll like it."
It's fine if you're here, but you don't have to bring gifts …
Lin Jie smiled from ear to ear. "Since it's from Qili, I'll like it no matter what it is."
The old steward also smiled. "Thank you for your kindness. I'll pass on your message. I'm sure Master will be very happy to hear it."
He asked another follower to come over, and the follower carefully handed over a small black box in his hand.
Edmund was also very cautious. He took the box, put it on the counter, and slowly opened it.
"This is …"
Lin Jie's gaze fell on the box. He reached out and moved the box closer to him, carefully examining it. "An ancient coin?"
There was an ancient coin about two fingers wide in the box. It was engraved with three concentric circles and a vertical spindle pattern in the center.
Edmund nodded and explained, "This is a coin that has been passed down since the first era. We call it the 'Coin of Misfortune'. Legend has it that it was once transformed by the eye of the God of Fate. It has powerful magic power and a long history."
This coin was very valuable. As a powerful casting tool coveted by countless wizards, it should have been auctioned in the branch of the Bamboo Tree Merchant Guild as the final item of the next auction.
However, as the chairman of the branch of the Bamboo Tree Merchant Guild, it was too easy for Qili to seek private gains.
She immediately removed this item from the auction warehouse with the reason that it was "not completely eliminated from danger", and replaced it with another item on the auction list.
This coin indeed had two sides. It could be used to cast powerful causal spells, but at the same time, it could bring misfortune to the caster.
If the caster was too weak, it was possible that he would be directly killed by the backlash.
Usually, even touching the coin could bring misfortune, so Edmund and the others were very careful.
After all, when this coin was discovered, its owner, a destitute Magus, had accidentally knocked over the Petrification Potion that he had refined and petrified the lower half of his body. After that, he lost his balance and was stabbed in the throat by a stalk of Iron Thorn Grass that was placed at the side.
His innocent disciple had also slipped and fell after being frightened, and ended up together with the Magus.
"It sounds interesting and has a lot of research value. Recently, I want to know the history of A Zier from the First Era to the Second Era."
Lin Jie took out the coin and observed it in his palm with great interest. He did not forget to say to the old steward, "Thank Qili for me."
Such an antique must be very valuable … Cough cough, the value was not important. The most important thing was that it had a long history and rich cultural content.
When Edmond saw Lin Jie take out the coin with his bare hands, his expression changed instantly. It was as if he saw Pandora's box being opened. However, when he heard Lin Jie's casual words, he coughed twice and regained his composure.
After all, he was a powerful wizard who was highly respected by his master. A little misfortune was not worth mentioning.
Look, he didn't even want to use it as a casting medium. This coin was just a tool to learn about ancient history.
However, according to legend, this misfortune coin must be combined with another lucky coin to become a complete coin of fate.
Edmund said, "As long as you like it."
"Oh right," Lin Jie said, "I have one more thing to ask for your help."
"Go ahead."
Lin Jie told Edmund about his idea of renovating the bedroom and the second floor. Edmund naturally said that it was a small matter and that he would do it immediately.
Lin Jie was in a good mood after solving two of his biggest worries. Looking at the coin in his hand, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "The Goddess of Fortune should have two eyes. Since there is a 'coin of misfortune,' there should be a 'coin of fortune' …"
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of the door being kicked open. A fat and huge figure rushed in with his arms raised.
"Ahhhh?"
Collin looked at the ferocious Tree Merchant Guild members who were glaring at him, and his aura suddenly withered.
He had the courage to face the demon, but not the Tree Merchant Guild.
He still owed the Xingshu Merchant Guild ten thousand dollars.
This demon was indeed vicious! He actually controlled the people of the Tree Merchant Guild! You win!
Colin laughed dryly and hid the holy water behind his back. Then he shook the coin in his hand and slowly moved over to put the coin on the counter.
He was sweating profusely and said, "Uh, I, I came to thank you for turning off the power switch for me last time. You really helped me a lot. This, this is my family heirloom. I'll give it to you!"
After Colin finished speaking, he immediately scrambled out of the room.
Only the people in the shop were left looking at each other and then at the coin on the counter. Edmund's eyes almost popped out.
This coin was exactly the same as the misfortune coin in Lin Jie's hand!
Wasn't this another "lucky coin"?!
