Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 460

Chapter 460
When Zhang Tie wiped the dust off a counter and caught sight of the items beneath it, Gerri and Sam also cleaned up the dust off a counter on Zhang Tie's side out of curiosity and revealed the items inside .



Even after 1000 years, the items inside the counters were still as clean as before in the well-sealed counters .

Under the green light of their fluorite lamps, those items inside the counters became more shiny . They looked like a profound dreamland which had been buried for one millennium .

"These . . . these items are . . . " even Gerri and Sam became perplexed at once . Facing so many items in the counters, Gerri and Sam didn't even believe that they were in the real world as they were really shocked .

Like Sam and Gerri, Zhang Tie didn't believe that he could be that lucky either . Even in this age, there were still many liars such as in the flea market nearby the Blackhot city railway station . They usually counterfeited this special Eastern jewelries by green or deep-color glassworks so as to lure some idiots .

Such precious jewelries were the symbol of noble status among Chinese in the Eastern Continent before the Catastrophe . After the Catastrophe, such jewelries had more shocking meaning .



Such jewelries were called emeralds!

Unique emeralds!

In this age, such jewelries had another special name in the Eastern Continent——Immortal Stones .

Before the Catastrophe, such jewelries were very precious . However, emeralds were dwarfed by diamonds in that age .

"Who would sell counterfeit commodities here 900 years ago?" a whim flashed across Zhang Tie's mind as he glanced at those green jewelries and pendants in the counters .

"Peter . . . "



Hearing Gerri's voice, Zhang Tie turned around and found they were looking at Zhang Tie with nervous looks . Remarkably, they had already guessed something .

"Let's take a look . . . " Zhang Tie smiled . Even though he didn't lack money at the present, he still felt his throat dry when he posed this suggestion .

The moment Zhang Tie wanted to open the counter in front of him, he saw Sam running upstairs, "You . . . stay downstairs, I will take a look upstairs!"

Zhang Tie knew that Sam was standing sentry upstairs for them . Although Zhang Tie didn't believe that someone would dare to rush in at the risk of their lives but he knew that it was necessary to be careful .

When Sam went upstairs, Gerri just stared at Zhang Tie .

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Tie directly punched onto a counter in front of him .

After causing a loud sound and shaking off some dust, he still could not break the counter . Therefore, Zhang Tie became stunned . Although he only used 30% of his full strength, it was already very shocking . Even if it was a steel plate in front of him, it would have been left with a fist mark . However, the counter remained unchanged .

"Before the Catastrophe, such counters for selling jewelries and valuables were not formed by average glasses, but a special glass like alloy . It was used to protect the items inside from being robbed away . Although it looked like glass, it was even harder than steel and iron!" Gerri explained .

Zhang Tie revealed a slightly embarrassed smile as he moved behind the counter . He saw a movable drawer over there . After touching it for a short while, Zhang Tie forcefully tore away the lock on the drawer . After that, he casually took out an item from the counter .

That was a dark green bracelet . Based on Zhang Tie's experience in the grocery, he could identify that this bracelet was not a glasswork for sure . It was completely different than any other jewelries or stones that he had seen before .

The bracelet was clean and especially beautiful . Donder once told him how to simply identify emeralds . However, Donder added with a smile that Zhang Tie might barely have a chance to see a real immortal stone in his life . He told Zhang Tie that most of the immortal stones were monopolized by Chinese powers in the Eastern Continent . Few alchemists could have them . Those who could get immortal stones were not commoners for sure . At that time, Zhang Tie only had a few copper coins a day . He even had no surplus money to enjoy a bowl of rice brew which was worth a couple of copper coins . Of course, Donder didn't believe that Zhang Tie could have a chance to touch such jewelries in the future .

Zhang Tie put the bracelet onto his face slightly .

In a split second, he felt cool .

Taking out a lighter, Zhang Tie instantly burned that bracelet .

After over 10 seconds, Zhang Tie moved away the lighter . He then tried to wipe the place being burned with his sleeve . He found that the place was as new as before . No color changes at all .

As a pioneer, of course Gerri knew that it was the simplest way to identify whether this jewelry was real or not . Not to mention those low-grade green glasses in this age, even before the Catastrophe, there were still many counterfeited emeralds .

When Zhang Tie wiped the bracelet clean, he saw Gerri drawing close to him . Gerri even lifted his fluorite lamp to check it . Seeing no color changes at all, Gerri held his breath . After looking around so many counters being covered with dust on the 1st floor, Gerri instantly felt bewildered as he shook his body .

The priority was to carry these items away without arising the others' attention .
