Chapter 140, Exhibition Hall?

The day after the wedding, everyone started to get busy.

Some of the trouble-hating traversers have left, but there are still many left. For the construction of the exhibition hall, they chose a small villa near the workshop of Prett - this villa was bought shortly after Pratt arrived in the city of Trera, with a small three-story building, a warehouse, and several firewood houses connected to it, with a small square in front and a small garden in the back, although not as close as the mansions of the great nobles, but in the mansion of the rich commoners, at least the area was good.

The exhibition hall and the private house are completely different buildings, so the travelers did not hesitate to bulldoze the entire building and start construction again.

In order to get enough light, the entire exhibition hall is almost entirely made of artificial crystals, which are made of the purest natural quartz sand, which has been melted and reshaped by powerful magical flames, looking crystal clear like gemstones – no, crystal is a gemstone in the first place. In other words, the exhibition hall is a marvellous house made of precious stones as a building material.

Because of the need for meticulous work, the construction process is not fast. Many people are curious to see what this exhibition hall will look like, which will house countless treasures. As a result, they were almost stunned when they saw that the pieces of crystal had been carved into a square shape, and then glued together under the power of magic to form the shape that the architect needed.

"Oh my God, you're building a house out of crystals?!" exclaimed Princess Fisna, "you're going to build a crystal house!"

"Is the Crystal House strange?" asked Jenny, whom it seemed as she should now be called "Lady Yama."

Princess Fisna looked at her blankly for a moment, and said, "This exhibition hall ...... How big are you going to build?"

"There are four layers of light and dark. Pratt walked over and said, "It's two floors with all kinds of exhibits. The hidden one is also two-layered, and the purpose is not explained. ”

Princess Fisna nodded, she didn't intend to ask how the two floors hidden in the shadows would be built and what kind of use they would use, she was interested in another question: "How many crystals will be needed for the fourth floor?"

"I haven't counted it, but two hundred tons of crystals have been prepared so far, and if it's not enough, it can be increased at any time. Pratt said.

"Two hundred...... "Princess Fisna's eyes widened, and she looked at him with an almost dull gaze.

Crystal is indeed a relatively cheap gemstone, but no matter how cheap it is, it is still a gemstone after all, not an ordinary stone.

Building a house out of crystals is an extreme luxury. And when Princess Fisna heard Pratt use the unit of measurement "ton" to calculate the amount of crystals to be consumed, she felt that her mind was almost out of order.

(Did I hear it wrong?) Generally speaking, shouldn't gems be measured in grams? Even if crystals are not that valuable, the use of catties as a unit is the limit, how can they be used in tons?and...... Or a few hundred tons...... )

(What kind of exhibition hall is this? It's a crystal palace!)

Her voice was like a moan: "You guys...... It's really rich. ”

No, she couldn't think of any other words to describe Pratt and her friends other than "really rich".

Watching the crystals being used as building materials and the foundation of the house, she felt dizzy, and even her legs and feet were a little weak, and she had to hold on to something to stand firmly.

Luckily, there's something to hold on to her - her good friend, Jenny Wiskes who somehow suddenly became a rich woman - oh, now it's time to call her Jenny Yama.

Master Prett's whole people are Preet Yama, and the surname Yama has never heard of, so it should not be a prominent family of the present time, but from the perspective of his friends, Princess Fisna feels that after she returns today, she should carefully check the ancient books of the First and Second Ages to see if she can find a family with the surname "Yama".

She was willing to bet on one finger that Pratt and his group of friends were mostly descendants of old families that had been passed down from ancient times to the present. They have closed social circles and little contact with outsiders, they have abundant resources and wealth that make the king jealous, and they are extremely powerful, with many families having legendary powerhouses and even more than one......

She had always thought that these rumors were just stories made up by bards, but now she didn't dare to think so.

Facts speak louder than words, in the face of a crystal house that is gradually being built, if she still insists on the ideas of the past, then she is the number one fool in the world!

But she didn't know that the crystals used by the traversers were far less expensive than she thought.

They are just "quartz glass" that melts natural quartz sand at high temperature and then condenses it.

On earth, quartz glass is also quite expensive, but in this world, its cost is greatly reduced. The main thing is that the quartz sand can be easily filtered out of the sea sand by spells, and it can be melted without all impurities except air, and the bubbles in the melted quartz liquid can be directly pumped out...... Several of the main problems that affect the quality have been solved by magic, how can the cost not be low?

In the words of silicate expert Lao Bai: "Magic is a good thing, if magic can be used on the earth, I can squeeze all other optical equipment manufacturers in the world out of bankruptcy by selling low-cost quartz glass!"

Of course, having mastered such a high power as magic, and making money by selling quartz glass, this idea is another matter.

The person in charge of the construction is also a traverser, and this kind of thing is left to outsiders to do, and they are not at ease.

In this exhibition hall, there will be a lot of traps, some of which are pure jokes, some of which will cause some damage to the enemy, and some of which will kill people. When the exhibition hall is completed and opened, there will be a lot of people who will want to try to sneak in and steal, and they will definitely want to get the blueprints of the exhibition hall when the time comes. So instead of thinking about "sealing" and the like, it is better to keep this classified information in the hands of your own people from the beginning.

If anyone is really powerful enough to steal maps from the system notes of the traversers, then it can only be regarded as having the ability, and everyone is willing to bow down.

As the days passed, the progress of the construction of this exhibition hall increased little by little, and the number of people who paid attention to it increased day by day.

An exhibition hall built entirely of crystal, even if there are no exhibits in it, the exhibition hall itself is already an outstanding work of art. In the city of Terrera, many people already refer to it as "Crystal Palace".

According to information bought from the Thieves' Guild, at least thirty or forty bands of thieves, large and small, have expressed interest in this exhibition hall. Most of them don't even plan to steal the treasures in the museum at all, just throw a few "bricks" from the walls of the exhibition hall and take them away.

Although crystals are not expensive gemstones, large crystals are still valuable. For those small gangs of thieves, as long as they get a few pieces of "building materials", at least for a few years, they will be able to eat and drink without worry.

Upon receiving the news, the traversers just sneered.

If you want to take advantage of them, if you are not afraid of death, just come!
