Chapter 248: We Players Never Sell Fakes (Honest Face.)
Gerald McCawberry is the Captain Knight of Lancaster City.
Unlike ordinary city captains, he directly belongs to the city lord Kaolifu, and his work is directly responsible to Kaolifu, and he does not need to be in charge of chores such as security in the city.
In terms of function, the knights of the castle captain are closer to the bodyguards of the lord of the city and the important nobles in the city.
Born into the McCaopery family, who had served the lord for generations, Gerald was raised to be loyal to the lord.
In fact, that's what he did.
At all times, he would be at the door of the room or in the corner of the hall, examining everyone who approached the city lord with his own eyes, and he would not relax his vigilance against strangers at any time.
To this day, he has not spared any of the Assassins who attempted to assassinate Kaulinf.
The lord of the city, Cowlinf, was also quite satisfied with Gerald's ability, and a few days ago specially assigned him to Gwendoline's side of his most favored granddaughter, who is also the most likely to be targeted by Cowlinf's political enemies in the entire Lancaster City.
Then Gerald noticed that there seemed to be many strange characters around Gwendoline.
They call themselves players, and they are just ordinary civilians, but because of the acquiescence of the lord of the castle, they often go in and out of the castle lord's mansion, and they always come to ask Miss Gwendoline and her mother if there is anything they can do to help.
Please, Miss Gwendoline is the real eldest lady in the whole of Lancaster City at present, and the weight of the other noble children may not be as heavy as her alone!
Even if Miss Gwendolin wants to eat a specialty fruit hundreds of miles away, the people below will buy it out of their own pockets in order to please the future lord of the castle.
Not to mention that even the lord of Kaulinf was very fond of Miss Gwendoline, and would always try to fulfill Miss Gwendoline's wishes.
How could Miss Gwendoline, with such power, have the help of these pariahs!
But I didn't expect it to be
Miss Gwendoline, probably growing up in the city and looking forward to the outside world, always wanted to hear stories from the outside world from the commoners who claimed to be players, and occasionally commissioned them to bring games and toys that only untouchables would play.
After all, the girl is surrounded by people like Gerald, and she has lived in a noble family since she was a child, and has hardly left the city, except for the more experienced training in the aspects she is responsible for such as fighting, other aspects are actually not much better than the little girl.
If those self-proclaimed players are just like that, it would be fine, but I didn't expect that there has always been a guy named Mane lately, who often sells strange things to Miss Gwendoline and Mrs. Gwendoline.
If only all those things were genuine, but everything sounded big, and it wasn't something that such a trader could get!
When the other party reappeared this time, Gerald felt that he could not continue to be silent, even if it was to make the lord's face not look good, he had to expose the lies of this profiteer on the spot, so that his true face would be revealed!
"You see, this is Greyfjord coral, found from the bottom of the Greyfjord, and it has a pretty good color, definitely a good thing! If you buy it now, you only need 6 Abbey gold coin units, and 6 Abbey is equivalent to about 72,000 miles, and the purchasing power converted into RMB is about 150,000 yuan. ”
Watching the guy named Mane sell the scarlet coral with the size of the basin to the young lady's mother, Gerald couldn't help but sneer.
The Greyfjord had been overrun by bandits a few years earlier, and the king had sent several small forces to suppress them, but all of them had failed.
What's more, even if there were no bandits, the Greyfjord was notoriously dangerous, full of sea monsters, and if there was really someone who could get crimson coral of such good color from that kind of place, how could this person come to such a border city to sell it?
Keep in mind that even if Lancaster is called a commercial city, it is only compared to the few other cities that remain in Tierra.
If you go to the Imperial Capital of Valla or the Holy City of Chongbai, isn't it true that a prosperous big city can be sold for a higher price!
"And this, this is the handicraft of the forest elf clan, using the moon wood that is only produced in the depths of the Trinia Great Forest Sea, which is not only very beautiful, but also attracts the brilliance of the silver moon at night, so that you can bathe in the brilliance of the silver moon and be nourished, and there is a disease to cure the disease and strengthen the body! Now hemorrhage promo for just 20 Abby! ”
When the other party brought out the second item, Gerald showed even more scoff.
The forest elves have not appeared in front of humans for a long time, and eighty percent of the people who have seen the forest elves have died under the arrows of the other party, and the adventurers in the tavern outside who claim to have seen the forest elves are just bragging.
Even the forest elves themselves are so rare, let alone their handicrafts. For the vast majority of nobles, a work of art made by the elves can be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom, how can it be taken out and sold?
And that Yue Huamu has never heard of it, eighty percent of this guy is talking nonsense, and the last sentence of curing a disease and not being sick is not the most commonly used words when a fake alchemy potion dealer deceives people.
"The last item is this, madam, you must not have seen this purple pearl from the Western Continent, picked by the Inhumans themselves on the shores of the dark tide, born from the sea clams! Such a perfect shape and body shape are rare in the world, and it is a new treasure of the ship that you have never seen before! It only takes 45 Abby to buy it at the moment, what are you waiting for! ”
Looking at the pearl in Mane's hand, which was bigger than an adult's fist, Gerald finally couldn't help it.
"Shut up, you shameless!"
He shouted angrily and exposed the other party's lie: "The sea clams are small gem shells, and the largest pearl output at present is only a few grams, and you are almost two or three catties!" What Western Continent Inhumans, do you think you're talking about knights! Such an outrageous lie, there is no need to listen to it! ”
"But this thing was really found in the sea clams." Manny looked innocent.
"It's still stubborn to this day, and the majesty of the city lord is not something you can insult!" Gerald glared at Mane viciously: "Go to the prison cell and repent of your arrogance and greed!" ”
"Wait a minute, you're going to convict me so inexplicably?" Manny looked at him with interest: "Or is it that you are a great connoisseur, and you can tell at a glance that my things are fakes?" ”
"Such an obvious guy still needs to be identified? Could it be that someone on the road sells buns as Mithril, and I have to identify them first! ”
Gerald was about to call the other soldiers to take the greedy merchant down, but the noblewoman, Gwendoline's mother, who had not spoken since the beginning, suddenly spoke up.
"Wait a minute, Gerald." She said in a deep voice, "I don't believe that Monsieur Mane would lie to me for no reason and ask someone to go to the astrological tower to ask Master Ladd to come over. Under his appraisal technique, he can naturally know which side is wrong. ”
"Yes." Gerald didn't think it was necessary, but he still asked the astrologer to come here.
"Wait a minute," Manny suddenly said after the guard left, "If the thing is fake, I'll go to the cell, that's fine, but what if my goods are real?" ”
Gerald didn't answer, just stared at Manny with a smile, apparently thinking that such a thing could not happen.
"If your goods, Monsieur Mane, are genuine, then I will naturally buy them all." The lady said aloud.
"No, ma'am, you've made a mistake." Mane shook his head: "I'm sure you also understand that the value of my things is much more than that, if you go to the big city and sell them, you may be able to sell them for double the price!" The reason why it is sold to you so cheaply is for prestige, well, it is probably to enhance the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce and something like that. And the unwarranted suspicion of this subordinate of yours has already had a bad impact on my reputation! ”
"If the final result of the appraisal is true, then ask this little brother to bet on his faith and have a duel with my men."
