Chapter 1977: Value
Although there is only one volume of historical documents for the return, the Fairy Empress still holds a grand welcoming ceremony and respectfully invites her into the forbidden land of Moonlight City.
After doing all this, the two empresses, the seven elders, and the great nobles all gathered in the palace hall to discuss the matter of giving back.
The so-called feedback is nothing more than an encouragement to thank Master Dewey for generously returning historical documents, in the hope of arousing the desire of the high-level rulers of Siege Castle to continuously put pressure on the top of Siege Castle to force or induce the top rulers to return more historical documents.
But if you want to arouse the desire of the high-ranking rulers of Vichburg, ordinary treasures will definitely not work, only use what they do not have, or what they urgently need.
This will be traced back to the fundamental question - what is Vechiburg missing?
Grand Elder Prisla took the lead in speaking: "Castle Vechich is rich in mineral resources, but the forest resources are very limited, especially several rare timbers such as hardwood, which must be purchased from us every year, so why not give back to them with some timber as a reward, how about it?" ”
Elder Silvara, Lindsay, and Mela agreed.
Elder Sonoda Mai raised his eyebrows and said: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, although wood is extremely precious to Vicky Castle, but for us it is innumerable, on the contrary, historical documents are extremely precious treasures for Vychburg and us, comparing historical documents and wood together, it is easy to create an intuition for the world, thinking that our feedback is just a diplomatic act of last resort." ”
"Then may I ask Elder Sonoda Mai, what kind of feedback do you think is equivalent?" Grand Elder Prisla asked with an open face asking for advice.
Elder Sonoda Mai bowed to the two empresses and said, "Please forgive your majesty. ”
The Elf Empress glanced at the Elf Empress, saw her bowing slightly, and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"I think," said Elder Sonoda Mai, puffing out his chest and looking directly at the Fairy Empress, "the only thing that can be equivalent to historical documents is His Majesty's artifact." ”
As soon as the word 'artifact' came out, there was an uproar in the main hall.
The rest of the elders and the nobles all looked at her, their eyes full of unparalleled shock and imperceptible sneers.
Perhaps in their opinion, this woman who has always been domineering has gone crazy.
- Dare to hit the idea of an artifact?
Don't you know that its status is equivalent to that of Princess Remy?
What is a historical document?
It's just a shabby book of history.
History is such a thing, as long as there are troubadours' troubadours are enough, what is the use of such broken books?
His Majesty can greet historical documents with such a heavy salute, but he just wants to be friendly with Vicky Castle, is it really that her old man is interested in historical documents?
Such sarcasm flowed from the mouths of many nobles, like mosquitoes and flies, and it was noisy.
Although the elders did not speak, they could sense their hearts from their demeanor.
The corners of Grand Elder Prisla's mouth twitched slightly at first, but I was sure that it must have been a sneer, a sneer, full of sarcasm.
Elder Silboaya, Elder Mela, and Elder Lindsay didn't sneer or sneer, but they also didn't have the slightest expression, and this kind of indifference was tantamount to drawing a line with Elder Sonoda Mai.
Elder Jennifer's head hung low, this was her norm, and she would not show anything unless the two empresses named herself.
After observing the situation, I thought for a moment, raised my head, glanced at the fairy queen, and found that she was also looking at me, and her eyes were calm, her expression was natural, and there was no anger at all.
It seems that in her mind, the weight of historical documents is almost equal to that of an artifact, and perhaps a little higher.
After pondering for a few seconds, I took a step forward, bowed deeply, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say." ”
"Does Elder An Xiaoyi have something to say?" The Elven Empress's eyes flashed, she straightened her back, and said in a deep voice, "Please speak." ”
"Your Majesty Xie" raised her head and looked directly at the Fairy Empress, I raised my voice and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I agree with Elder Sonoda Mai's opinion. ”
For a moment, there was silence in the hall, and everyone except Elder Jennifer looked at me with surprise and deep incomprehension.
Regarding the value of artifacts, as well as the value of historical documents, looking at the entire Moonlight City, except for the two empresses, only what I said has the most weight.
The reason is simple, I brought both of these things back with my own hands.
"Are you crazy, Elder An Xiaoyi?" Elder Mera lost her voice and said, "Historical documents are nothing but old history books, how can they be compared to artifacts? ”
As soon as these words came out, all the nobles nodded in agreement.
"Elder Mera, and all of you," I said, smiling, "perhaps in your opinion, this historical document is nothing more than a worn-out history book written on brown paper, and nothing but the contents of the documents on it. ”
"I didn't say it was worthless!" Elder Mera retorted, "I'm just saying that its value can't be compared to that of an artifact. ”
"Well, as you said, it really doesn't look as valuable as an artifact, it can't cut gold and iron, and it can't exert unrivaled power" Sighing lightly, I looked at her with sympathetic eyes, and continued: "Actually, I am not surprised that you can define the value of historical documents in this way, it is not your responsibility, but your family's responsibility. ”
Elder Mera's gaze suddenly became fierce, and she asked in a cold voice, "Elder An Xiaoyi, does this have an opinion on my family?" ”
"No, no, no," I shook my head again and again, "I don't have any prejudices against your family, just a matter of facts. ”
Elder Mera sneered and said, "Then I'm going to listen to your opinions." ”
"Takami doesn't count," I shook my head and said, "It's just a personal opinion, I think that the reason why historical documents are not as important as artifact value in your mind is because your family's history is not old enough, and the more ancient the family, the more you understand the importance of history, and the more you will treasure them." ”
Saying that, I turned to the fairy queen and said, "Our Majesty was born in the Fred family, and the Fred family, at the beginning of the elf rule, was the emperor of this world, and now, Your Majesty's family, the people seem to be thin, but their faith and glory in the family are still hot, and those relics from the hands of the ancestors of the Fred family are equally precious treasures to them!" ”
Elder Mera's body trembled, and he said uneasily: "That historical document, is it ......?"
"It is the handwriting of the ancestors of the Fryde family," I said earnestly, "not only this volume, but every volume." ”
