Chapter 0480: Under the Gift

The corners of Renard's mouth rose and showed a playful smile: "Since everyone wants to see this gift I have given, please open it in public." ”

His confident attitude stunned everyone, and even the Marquis of Sidney and the Earl of Heslett frowned slightly, and the two of them couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts: Could it be that the sword in this sword box is really a rare treasure?

They knew very well in their hearts that the reason why Dilandal was called Excalibur was not because of how powerful the sword itself was, but more importantly because of the brilliant experience of its owner.

Paladin Roland used to be the head of the Holy See's Knights of Protectors, and with such a deep historical and cultural background as an accumulation, even the night pot used by the other party will become very valuable.

Could it be that this is also a very famous sword?

With Renard's consent, the Marquis Quentin stopped inking, took a deep breath, and lifted the box open like a thief stealing something, just enough to see the contents.

With the sound of gasping air, Marquis Quentin's eyes burst with surprise and admiration.

His abrupt performance made the guests around him obviously stunned, and they couldn't help but be more curious in their hearts.

The surrounding VIPs asked, "What's the matter?"

The Marquis of Quentin silently closed the lid, and the joy on his face was overflowing: "It's unimaginable! This sword is simply the most perfect gift I have ever received in my life!"

He is a man who understands swords, so he naturally knows the value of the sword in the box.

This is definitely a divine weapon, perhaps the sword itself has no story to sing and cry about, but it itself represents the pinnacle of the art of oriental sword casting.

Earl Heslet's brows furrowed even tighter, he thought that the other party was deliberately exaggerating, and couldn't help urging: "Your Excellency, if this is the case, please let us all open our eyes." ”

Marquis Quentin smiled and nodded: "Good things are naturally meant to be shared by everyone." ”

As he spoke, he slowly opened the sword box, and the surrounding wealthy nobles all came up with curiosity on their faces, almost surrounding the entire main dining table.

I don't know what I saw, and the crowd fell silent.

After a long time, someone made a disbelief

The voice of the letter: "This is a gift from Governor Renard?"

The expressions of the nobles were all frozen on their faces, some curious, some disdainful, and some surprised.

Even Baron Plitt, who was known as a fashion pioneer, opened his mouth wide without concealment, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward, wanting to see more clearly.

The sword case contained an unpretentious eight-sided Han sword, about four feet long.

The sword body is octahedral, with forged stripes on it, folded nearly 10,000 layers, smooth lines, sharp edges and corners, under the moonlight, the sword body flashes with a sharp cold light.

There are no extravagant ornaments on the sword, which makes it look very atmospheric.

If the whole sword gives people the feeling, it is: righteousness and awe-inspiring.

The scabbard is located next to the sword, and is also made of rosewood, with large lacquer painted Chinese patterns on it, showing a magnificent lilac color.

The combination of a sharp sword and a quaint sheath gives people a very harmonious feeling.

Marquis Quentin slowly lifted the sword out of its case, and though it was light and slow enough, the blade still let out an air-piercing groan.

The moonlight shone on the sword, exuding a chilling light, and when the timid person stood in front, he would feel like he was standing on his bones.

The Marquis of Sidney's gaze is stagnant, as the saying goes: the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Even he had to admit that the sword in front of him was indeed a rare divine weapon, and even if he searched the entire Cape of Horn, he probably couldn't find any blades that could compare with it.

Baron Pullett felt the same way, he was known as a fashion pioneer, and although there was an element of exaggeration and irony, there was something real about it, at least in his eyes when it came to identifying antiques and works of art.

This seemingly low-key gift could not be faulted from any angle, and even if he was jealous of Renard, it was impossible for him to say that the black was white against his will, and that would only slap him in the face.

However, just because the two of them don't speak doesn't mean that others will be silent.

Count Heslett stepped out of the crowd and sneered: "What kind of high-end goods should I be, it turns out that it is just an ordinary weapon, the shape is indeed strange enough, but the sword body does not have any magic fluctuations, if it is not a magic weapon, what is the use of looking good." ”

The Marquis of Sidney twitched the corners of his eyes when he heard this

Pumping, just now this guy boasted that he had some appreciation for things like swords, but it turned out that he was just paying lip service.

Baron Plitt wanted to say something, but Earl Mackinto inadvertently pulled down his sleeve and gestured with his mouth: Wait and see.

Count Heslett looked at Renard with contempt and sneered: "As we all know, only magic can forge powerful artifacts, and this strange-looking sword does not have the slightest magic power fluctuation, to put it bluntly, it is just a good thing. ”

His words immediately made the nobles present talk a lot, but most of them laughed at the ignorance and arrogance of the other party.

Although the nobles were jealous of Renard's good fortune, they were not willing to belittle this precious gift against their will.

Several discerning nobles threw dissatisfied expressions at Count Heslet, and if he were not the face of Queen Rosa, I am afraid that they would have opened their mouths to refute it.

The Marquis Quentin was unimpressed, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I think the gift from Governor Renard is extremely precious, and all the distinguished guests present must agree with this, if you have any objections, please come up with evidence." ”

He then added: "If you can't produce evidence, it's a groundless slander, and you need to apologize to Governor Renard in public." ”

Marquis Quentin's second sentence was faintly threatening, and it was obvious that his impression of Count Heslett was much worse than that of Lord Lei.

Hearing this, Count Heslet walked to the table, examined the sword in the other party's hand with disdain, and then said arrogantly: "Of course I have proof. ”

He looked around at the crowd and said righteously: "Weapons and equipment are different from other works of art, in addition to their exquisite appearance and magnificent colors, the most important thing is practicality, if there is no practicality, what is the use of a beautiful weapon?"

As he spoke, the sneer on the corner of his mouth became more obvious: "The forging technology of the Eastern Earth Continent is indeed very exquisite, but compared to our magic weapons, I am afraid that it is many times inferior. ”

Hearing this, the nobles of the Rowling Kingdom behind Count Heslett pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Lord Earl, you must have a basis for what you say, I heard that the weapons and equipment of the Eastern Continent are not inferior to ours, and even much stronger. ”

Count Heslett showed an undeniable expression: "I just said that I have evidence to prove that what I said is true, do you want to see how I prove it?"
