Chapter 0479: In the Gift
Those who dare to speak sarcastically are from wealthy and powerful backgrounds, and for them, Renard is a country rich man, a nouveau riche, and it is easy to understand some outrageous words under the influence of jealousy.
Besides, with the prince's son taking the lead, what were they afraid of, so they gradually grew bolder.
A relatively wealthy nobleman said in a mocking tone: "There is nothing good in the desolate place of Nanhuang County, everyone should understand." ”
Although he seemed to be speaking for Lei Ye, anyone could hear the disparagement in his words.
Renard sighed secretly, I really didn't expect that he would take precautions and this kind of bloody episode would still appear on his body.
Fortunately, there were people who knew the goods on the field, and Earl Mackinto coughed lightly and said: "This sword box is carved from complete rosewood, and it is from the East Earth Continent full of Venus small-leaved rosewood, and I am afraid that it will cost thousands of gold coins to buy this raw material alone." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lei Ye with an inquiring look.
Renard smiled incredibly, "That's right, this sword box cost me a full two thousand gold coins. ”
He is proficient in nonsense, after all, this piece of rosewood was provided by Shangguan Wan'er, and he didn't ask for money at all.
However, since the other party said so, he must have taken the opportunity to raise the price and beat the fat faces of those nobles.
When they heard the two thousand gold coins, the nobles who were originally going to use this to criticize Lei Ye all died down.
Two thousand gold coins! Equivalent to the entire net worth of most court nobles!
The nobleman who had just spoken was embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, so as not to continue to be embarrassed.
In vain, they are usually vassals and elegant, but they don't even know such a precious thing, isn't this a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo.
This is not the end, after receiving Renard's affirmation, Earl Mackinto continued: "If my guess is correct, this carving technique should be the hand of Master Aldrich, and the price can only be doubled several times, and the sword and armor itself will become a collector's item. ”
Lei Ye nodded again, he knew this.
Master Aldrich is the vice president of the Academy of Magic, a top magician, specializing in alchemy and potions, and his attainments in enchantment, inscriptions, and forging are extremely high.
One of the most famous is the inscription, the level of carving is so high that it is even famous for the Cape of Hope.
This master once carved a picture of a beauty on the jujube pit, which is simply lifelike.
However, Master Aldrich does not often make moves, as the so-called rare things are expensive, and the value of the objects in his hands has increased exponentially.
This master has a habit, that is, drinking, Shangguan Wan'er asked him to help carve this rosewood sword box at the cost of ten jars of aged osmanthus brewing.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, the sword box itself was a collection worth thousands of gold coins, and how precious would the contents be?
Marquis Quentin placed the sword box on the table and gently stroked it with both hands, showing a look of great appreciation.
He raised his eyes to look at Lei Ye and said with a smile: "I guess the sword in here must be priceless." ”
Renard had an undeniable expression, a vague pride on his face, and a contempt and mockery for the nobles around him.
He directly praised Haikou and said: "This is a rare sword in the world, and it is also the most precious gift I can take out, even if the so-called divine sword Dilandar is in front of it, it is just rubbish." ”
Hearing this, everyone present changed color in unison.
What is this for? Slap the Creighton in the face?
As soon as the words fell, a sarcastic voice came from the outside of the crowd: "Oh, who is so arrogant!"
As he spoke, two people squeezed in from outside the crowd, wearing helmets and armor, full of style.
When the surrounding nobles saw his appearance, they all gasped: "Marquis Sidney, he actually came to the royal capital?"
While everyone was amazed, they were also secretly laughing in their hearts, this time I am afraid that there will be a good show.
Marquis Sidney Renard also raised his eyebrows in surprise, the corners of his mouth flashed a humble smile, and he bowed slightly: "It turned out to be Marquis Sidney, I really didn't expect you to come all the way to attend Marquis Quentin's birthday banquet." ”
The corners of the visitor's mouth hooked a sarcastic arc: "Who should I be so ashamed of, it turns out to be Baron Renard." ”
He presumably replaced the governor with a baron, which was clearly intended to belittle.
Lei Ye was naturally not to be outdone, and said with a smile: "First of all, we have to figure out what is to be ashamed of, if it is the truth, then it is not reasonable to use these four words." ”
The two looked at each other, and they collided with fierce sparks in an instant.
There is no direct conflict of interest between Renard and the Cronin family, and the relationship can still be reconciled, while the conflict with the Clayton family can only be resolved with a sword, after all, the occupation of Kale County is an important condition for him to establish Gannan Province.
Hearing this, Marquis Sidney sneered: "If it's a sword, then there are several dignitaries here who can be called connoisseurs, if Marquis Renard doesn't mind, can you let everyone appreciate the sword that is comparable to Dirandal in your mouth?"
Lei Ye nodded indifferently, and then shook his head again.
Seeing this, the Marquis of Sidney sneered, "What's the matter?
Renard hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I just think your words are very ambiguous, what I just said is that Excalibur Dilandar is just garbage in front of this sword." ”
In fact, the Excalibur is mostly boasted, and it is not very strong in itself, but the name of the user adds a halo to it.
If it was really a divine sword, how could it fall into the hands of some tricate knight, I am afraid it would have been placed in the Pope's private exhibition hall long ago.
Marquis Sidney's face instantly gloomy when he heard this: "You ......"
The-for-tat confrontation between the two has attracted the attention of many people, including Count Heslett from the Kingdom of Rowling.
He staggered to the front, smiled at the confrontation between the two, and then said, "I have some appreciation for things like swords, do you need me to make a notarized ruling?"
Although the wealthy and powerful families of Arthur's kingdom are above the top, they don't dare to directly argue with Renard, at most they say something cool out of jealousy.
Count Heslet, however, was markedly different, and though he spoke in a polite tone, there was undisguised hostility on his playful face.
Seeing this, Marquis Quentin frowned slightly, and his eyes gradually became fierce: "Count Heslett, please don't get involved in the affairs here." ”
If an ordinary nobleman saw his eyes, he would probably be frightened and immediately shut up.
However, Count Heslett only shrugged his shoulders very easily: "I'm just curious about what kind of rare treasure is hidden in this sword box. ”
When the Marquis of Sidney heard this, he also echoed: "That's right, everyone is curious, why don't you open it now." ”
Marquis Quentin couldn't help but sigh when he saw that everyone around him was looking eagerly, and he looked at Renard, as if asking for advice.
