Sherlock looked down at what Richard had handed him.

I saw that it was the size of an egg, with a metal shell, and a smooth surface, like a refined work of art. There is a gap in the surface that looks like it can be opened.

With a click, Sherlock opened it and saw a glass dial with three different hands of different lengths moving underneath the skin.

The shortest of them all, the slowest to go, is barely noticeable.

The hands, which are not short or long, can be seen to move slowly.

The longest slender hand is a blink of an eye.

"Click-click-click......"

The hands constantly make a crisp and pleasant sound.

What Richard gave Sherlock was a pocket watch. In the Middle Ages, which had not yet been fully popularized at the present exact time, it was a novelty, and Lee sensed that Sherlock was definitely interested in collecting.

However, Sherlock's reaction was a little different from what Richard had imagined.

Sherlock stared at the dial of his pocket watch for a few moments, and exclaimed, "My dear friend Richard, are you going to give me this thing and then go to my warehouse to find it?" But ......"

In the end, Sherlock hesitated slightly.

"But what? what's wrong?" asked Richard.

"No, no. Sherlock shook his head, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just ...... I already have a similar collection, so I don't need you this, of course, that Baras silver, if you find it, you can still take it, after all, we are friends. ”

"Wait!" Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Sherlock and asked, "You say...... Do you already have a similar collection?"

"Yes. Sherlock nodded.

Richard was silent: "......" was silent this time, but was thinking quickly about something.

The pocket watch is not a simple creation, and the technology content is not low. On the earth, it was only developed after the Middle Ages in the great navigation stage, because on the boundless ocean, people need to use a more accurate clock to determine their specific position, so as to adjust the course in time to prevent getting lost.

In the current medieval-like wizarding world, although it cannot be said that there must not be anything similar, but as far as he knows, it is not available on the market, so where did Sherlock get similar collectibles?

Turning his head to look at Sherlock, Richard exclaimed, "Can I take a look at your collection?"

"Of course, if you want to take it, that's fine, my dear friend. Sherlock said generously, turning his head to the side of the door and shouting, "Lucia!"

Lucia, who was dressed as a maid, quickly walked out of the small door, and the blush on her face had not completely faded at this time, and she looked at Sherlock a little shyly and asked, "Xia...... Mr. Sherlock, is there anything you need?"

"Well, Mr. Richard is more interested in one of my collections, which is the round box that I keep in my bedroom that makes a 'click' sound, do you have an impression? Take her, okay?" Sherlock said with a smile as he looked at Lucia.

Lucia frowned, as if reminiscing, and nodded, "Okay." "Run quickly into the small door.

After a while, Lucia ran out and took a palm-sized object to Sherlock.

Sherlock pointed at Richard, and Lucia immediately handed it to Richard.

Richard took it and observed it carefully.

I saw Sherlock's collection, the shell is silvery-white, with a metallic luster, very beautiful, with a dial and hands in the middle, quite a work of art, but compared with the pocket watch in his hand, it is a little different.

A pocket watch is a pocket watch, and this one in your hand is ...... Small clocks - the volume is two times larger than the pocket watch, the three hands of the hour, minute and second, simplified into two hour and minute hands, the accuracy is somewhat poor, the error of one minute is about one second, and the difference may be more than ten minutes a day.

But it is undeniable that the pocket watch and the thing in the hand can be regarded as the same kind - the technology in it may be a lot worse, the lack of parts such as escape wheels and limit nails leads to a lack of accuracy, but the technology is the same generation - just like the flintlock pistol and the automatic rifle are very different, but they are both thermal weapons.

Richard suddenly became curious about the maker of this small clock, and wanted to get in touch with the other party, to see what kind of identity the other party was, and how he made such a thing that was ahead of his time.

He was able to create it because of the wisdom crystallization accumulated by more than 100 billion people who once existed on the earth, what did the other party rely on?

However, he quickly suppressed this thought, after all, the main purpose of his coming today was to get the metal palladium to complete the ongoing research, and this kind of "extraneous branch" thing is better to deal with it after completing the research.

Paying attention, Richard handed the collection to the girl Lucia, then took out the auction painting from his bosom, handed it to Sherlock and said: "Your collection is indeed similar to what I gave you, since you don't need two similar collections, then you can take this thing - a painting made with the heart of the king, after all, I don't like to take things for nothing." ”

"Painting?" Sherlock's eyes flashed, and while returning his pocket watch to Richard, he took the scroll of paper from Richard's hand, opened it and looked at it a few times, "A picture of hell, this is more in line with my taste, I can hang it in the study." But what do you mean by that, painted with the heart of a king?"

"It means that its dyes are special......," Richard said briefly from the host of the auction, "off the east coast, there is the island of Lisburn, and on the island there is the kingdom of Prussia ......."

After listening to Richard's story, Sherlock's expression became wonderful, and he looked at the words in his hand again, his eyes glowed with a strange brilliance, and he sighed: "It's amazing, it's a painting made of corpses! Anyway, you should have taken this thing out just now, this is a truly meaningful collectible! I collected it, and I decided to put it in the deepest part of the warehouse!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Sherlock exclaimed, not at all perfunctory, "I've collected so many things, but I've never had such a special existence.

For me, this is not a simple painting, but a great art, art!

Drawing a picture of hell with the heart of a king, tsk, I really seem to hear the wailing of the souls in hell. Death and equality, kings all end up like this, which is simply the best explanation for hell.

Wow, I can't wait, I'm going to go to the warehouse, put it away, and save it by accident. ”

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the next moment Sherlock walked out the door, and Richard had to follow.
