I draw a card first

Chapter 97

Some clumsily pour the coffee powder into the small pot on the fireplace, and the wood burning flame brings the right temperature, allowing the faint aroma to waft out quickly.

Take the hard baguette found in the kitchen, cut it into small pieces and bake it on the shelf next to it, let it gradually soften and exude the aroma of wheat, soon Aiwen's first meal in the copy world Breakfast is done.

“I just couldn’t find any milk, it’s always weird to drink coffee early in the morning”

After washing up, Ivan in his shirt looked like the real owner of the place, holding the newspaper that had just been delivered to the door in the morning, drinking coffee and eating bread, while looking for news he might need in the newspaper.

"A homicide occurred in a lumberyard outside the city, and a lumberjack died!"

On the first page of the newspaper was a message about a dead person. Ivan took a look and found nothing strange, and immediately lost interest in it.

Take a sip of coffee and turn to the second page. First, there are some jewelry advertisements and job advertisements.

Below the ad, there were some news pieces divided into small pieces, one of which caught his attention immediately.

[The Allenburg serial murder case was solved, and the murderer was directly shot dead by the tough detective! 】

This is about the recent sensational serial murder case in this city called Ellenburg.

The murderer murdered five innocent passers-by with extreme cruelty in four days and nights, and removed the victim's heart. This caused great panic in the city, and even led to the deserted night, no one dared to go out .

As for why Aiwen knew so clearly.
Mrs. Yulia's husband was actually one of the victims of this case. Yesterday's letter probably mentioned some of the content. Ivan went to look through the old newspapers before and learned more about some related news.

"Speaking of which, what would be the stuff you're digging your heart out of?"

According to the current style of painting, could it be a werewolf?
As for the news that the police station had already killed the criminals, Ai Wen didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.

If, as the newspaper said, an ordinary mental patient killed someone, and then dug out the victim's heart and threw it away, then there would be no copy of this role-playing.

Among them, some extraordinary power must be involved.

"From the looks of it, this Mrs. Yulia should be the key character who cuts into the plot?"

Touching his chin, Aiwen, who was thinking more and more in his mind, was suddenly a little irritable. He was still more used to the kind of quests where he would face-to-face and fight if he didn't agree.

Such an environment full of weird atmosphere, coupled with the loss of strength to rely on, made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Forget it, if you really can't do it, just quit. There's no need to make things difficult for yourself. At most, it's just a waste of an R card."

After thinking this way, someone suddenly became calmer.

If you look at the world without quests, there are still many things worth studying.

Through newspapers and some books in the study, Alvin learned that the background of the current world should be similar to the West in the early 19th century.

It is in a stage from the late stage of the first industrial revolution, but has not yet started the second industrial revolution.

In terms of rights, the aristocracy has not completely withdrawn from the era, and the power of capital is ambitious to rise, but the crown of kingship has become dim.

In society, various machines have begun to spread, gradually replacing pure manual labor.

Mechanical creations typically represented by steam engines began to appear in major factories and became the main driving force for production, and even some simple steam locomotives began to appear.

The latest transportation line, which is similar to a train, was just completed and opened to traffic last year.

Of course, the economy began to prosper and develop rapidly driven by machinery, and rights began to merge with wealth, which naturally inevitably brought many problems.

Wealth began to be further concentrated in the hands of a very few people, and large monopoly capital began to emerge.

The civilians who lost their land in the merger can only work crazily in sweatshops, but it is still difficult to get enough food in return.
"Wealth and crime, desire and madness, what a terrible time."

Looking at the crowds that began to appear outside the window in the early morning, there were well-dressed gentlemen in carriages, ladies in lace fluffy skirts, and civilians in shabby clothes and sallow faces. From time to time, some city law enforcement officers with batons would drive away some beggars trying to beg. I don’t know where these disabled people have gone.
Shaking his head, Ivan drank the last sip of coffee, then got up and put on his windbreaker. The scheduled time was noon, and he still had time to do other things.

The weather outside today is a bit gloomy and it looks like it might rain.

As soon as the door was opened, the wind with a strong moist breath blew across the cheeks and neck. The wet and slippery touch made Ivan tighten his neckline and lowered the brim of his hat.

Picking up the umbrella at the door, his figure quickly blended into the crowd like water falling into a river.

Aiwen first walked around the nearby streets and alleys to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment and terrain, and then went to the store to buy some food with some gold and silver coins found under the bed in the room.

现在他全部的资产为3金币18银币9铜币，经过采购之后又少了5银币3铜币。

If the stay is longer this time, how to get some money enough to spend is obviously an urgent problem to be solved right now.

Holding bread, jam, vegetables, sausages and a milk bottle, someone soon came to another shop.

This is an antique store.

The old mottled metal door plate seems to tell the vicissitudes of time, and the black wooden door that has been corroded by rain seems to be carved with the texture of time.

But when Ivan looked from the window, he saw at least half of the fakes on the shelves.

Whether it is the seemingly exquisite ancient armor, or the vases and porcelains that are full of shelves, they are not really old objects, and the production time may not exceed five years.

As for the remaining things that can't be seen in a short time, it must be hard to be a real guy.

Aiwen doesn't understand antiques, nor has he studied professional identification, but relying on his powerful vision and perception abilities that surpass humans, as long as he wants to, it is actually not difficult to vaguely distinguish the time of an item's existence .

"Zerivin's antique shop is here."

Ai Wen finally confirmed the name of the store, pushed the door sideways with a bunch of things and walked into the store.

At this time, a white-haired, skinny old man was carefully cleaning some antiques. Seeing him, he immediately put down the music box-like thing in his hand and asked:

"Sir, what do you want to buy?"

"No, I'm not here to buy anything, but I want you to help identify this."

While talking, Ivan took out an old-fashioned pocket watch from his pocket.

He found this by accident from under the bed this morning.

The metal pocket watch looks a bit old. At first glance, it doesn’t seem to be anything unusual. It’s even broken.

But if you look closely, you will find that the corners of the front and back are carved with strange patterns, the front is like a distorted five-pointed star, and the back is like a superimposed figure of multiple triangles.
