Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's Perspective)

Baguva City,

Elder Compton gave me a few names of antique shops which are quite popular in this city. One of the shop names is Green Field Store. The name is not at all suitable.

But I hope they have some interesting collections in their store.

The four-wheeler massive cab is moving towards the destination. The store is located in the southern part of the city. But with the speed of the cab, I believe there will be no delay.

On the way, I see different types of flight vehicles occupying the air space. The four-wheeler is one of the vehicles among many.

I see a long sized bus rushing past us at breakneck speed. The bus appeared to be more sophisticated than cabs. Suddenly, a look of understanding dawned upon me.

This city is different from my hometown. Here you can see many Trainee Warriors casually. This city has an existence of Elite warriors. So there are many things in this city that were upgraded.

Even this current air cab, I believe, can withstand the power of the average Trainee Warrior. After figuring it out, I stopped thinking too much then and began to observe the city casually.

Several minutes later,

The air cab slowly descends on the platform. But I stared at the glass building in front of me in disbelief. The glass building looked like a 7-star hotel.

The architecture doesn't resemble an antique. A trace of confusion appeared in my eyes. After paying the cab fees, I walked out and stride towards the entrance.

Two guards are standing in front of the gate. I quickly see through their strength. " Trainee Warrior," I uttered in surprise. But the next second, a wry smile appeared on my face.

As expected the city has many Trainee Warriors. What's more surprising is that they are doing normal jobs. Is it because of resources here?

Baguva city is like no other city. Richness and prosperity can be seen everywhere. Then shaking my head, I walked up to the gate.

The guards didn't stop me. So I walked past them. Only after walking a few steps ahead. I noticed some differences.

There is a scanning system installed at the gate to check the visitors. A quick glint flashed in my eyes. Before entering, I failed to notice such a thing.

Then a vague curiosity appeared in my heart. I'm quite looking forward to the store. Because it doesn't appear to be a simple antique store on the surface.

Then I continued to walk towards the entrance. There is an automatic entry/exit door. When I walked near, the door opened automatically.

Seeing that I walked inside the building. A plain-looking corridor appeared before my eyes. Then I see a shopkeeper walking towards me from the right side.

The male staff seems to access me. But his Trainee Warrior strength is not enough to access Elite warrior.

After a couple of seconds, he stopped staring at me and asked me about the purpose of the visit.

I told him that I would like to see their collection. The male shopkeeper didn't ask me any more questions and led me toward the second floor.

After a few minutes, we reached the second floor. The entire floor is allocated for antique pieces. I see both sides have antique pieces placed on the table. But the room is covered by a transparent glass wall.

For a moment, I stood in the same spot. The only thing that comes to my mind is the word "Rich"

Damn! I think things in this store cannot be bought by ordinary people. Especially people who come from Tier-8 cities like me.

A shock appeared in my heart but I didn't show it on my face. Then I walked forward to observe the artifacts.

The staff didn't leave, rather his job was to assist me with the purchase. A wry smile appeared on many faces. After some talk, I got useful information.

Instead of purchasing using credit points. We can also exchange the artifacts with another one.

My gaze swept through a variety of items. Like a broken vase, small daggers, an antique lamp, and a Treasure box.

On both sides, there are more weapon pieces than other ordinary stuff. I wanted to look for a book collection. So that I can find some blood element techniques.

Then I spent more than one hour observing each item on this floor. But I feel no blood induction.

Suddenly, I heard the staff's voice.

"Guest,"

"If you don't mind, can you tell me? What are you looking for?"

Hearing that, I nodded my head and replied, "I'm looking for any functional artifact."

A quick glint flashed in Staff's eyes.

"Like?" He asked back.

Hearing that a trace of conflict appeared in my heart. Should I reveal it? Then I remembered Jonathan's words.

He told me that the teacher has given me a free hand. So I can use my lightning element in competition without any worry.

The Crimson Hall competition will start in a few weeks. Even if the people behind the store will try to find something, there is no real danger to me. I have the teacher's backing.

But the problem here is that Crimson Hall's recent actions were alarming. So I have to show some caution.

"I'm here to buy suitable antique pieces. But these antique pieces were quite ordinary," I said.

Hearing that, A bright smile appeared on the staff's face. Now, I seem to be a valuable customer.

Seeing the staff's expression, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Guests, you should visit our 3rd floor. I believe you can find something there," the staff said.

The middle-aged staff's words brought me some hope. Then we walked towards the 3rd floor. So the real stuff is located on the 3rd floor. A thought appeared in my mind.

When we arrived on the 3rd floor. I felt blood induction in my body. "Okay," My eyes lit up with surprise. There is something important here related to the blood method.

I didn't show much expression on my face. I see a similar setup but artifacts here were carefully preserved.

There are no broken items here. Especially the flower pot in front of me. The beautiful design pattern in it belongs to the old era.

After glancing at it, I tried to feel the induction. Where it's coming from. I slowly walked past the staff and began to observe the items.

Slowly, one piece after another. I observed each item. Such as glass antiques, furniture antiques, art antiques, and weapon antiques. I see a change in the expression on the staff's face. But he didn't stop my actions.

Soon, I came across this black armor piece. There is a design with blood-red eyes in the armor chest. Upon observing it, I feel the throbbing in my heart. I let out a cheerful laugh in my heart.

My bet was right. I found items related to the blood method. I calmed down my heart and recovered my gaze. Then I started to observe other items to conceal from the staff.

After spending one more hour, I stopped my search and let out a disappointed sigh.

The staff hurriedly walked up to me and asked, "Guest, what happened?"

I raised my head and looked into his eyes.

"Well, there is no suitable item here. Which I can present as a birthday gift for my cousin," I replied with a disappointed expression.

Before he could open his mouth. I said, "I'll buy that beautiful flower pot." I pointed my fingers at the flower pot which I came across previously.

I hope it's not too expensive. The staff revealed a bright smile on his face after hearing my words.

Several minutes later,

After purchasing the ordinary antique piece using 10, 000 credit points. I left the store calmly. I hope that no one will buy that black armor.

It took me a great deal of acting to fool that staff. I don't want to use a similar method again.

I immediately entered the air car to visit another store.

On the way, I collected my thoughts. I think the blood method is connected to the red-eye drawing.

If I can come across a similar pattern, that would be helpful. I found some clues. This will further help in my findings. When it comes to black armor, it is better to tell Elder Thornton.

I believe he can buy that armor casually. A good plan appeared in my mind. But I don't know whether he got money for it.

Then shaking my head, I realized Elder Compton is a more suitable person. He is familiar with this city. I'll talk to him after this trip.

Sometime later,

On the other hand, the male staff met his manager and told him everything. The manager then checked the footage.

After seeing that the customer wasn't able to find a suitable item and left after purchasing some random flower pot. The manager found it strange.

Because the customer had spent hours observing each item. For what? Then once again he checked the footage. After seeing no abnormal behavior. He then stopped looking at it.

He assumed the young customer might be an antique collector. So it is normal for him to observe and appreciate each item.
