Of course, these two gifts could not really be given by Satan, but Ray prepared them out of his own pocket. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Satan has been stumbling and climbing on the rivers and lakes for ten years, and he has not gained much. He follows the adage of adventurers that "only money that is used on oneself is useful money", and spends most of his income on improving his strength, so that he can have that ability.

Even if there is still a distance from "poverty", it is impossible to say that he can come up with a decent gift.

Of course, he didn't think about it at all. In his opinion, the most important thing between friends is to respect each other, help each other, gifts and money...... Although the knight of Parn is not a rich and noble person, he is definitely not poor, where can he use these things!

In his mind, the most important thing for the knight of Pahn was his nobility, so when Sui Xiong wanted to find a secular lord for his holy land, he recommended the knight of Pahn - or rather, it was his gift to his benefactor.

But Ray's thoughts were different from his, and Ray, who was born in a great aristocracy, paid great attention to etiquette, so how could he come to the door empty-handed when he first visited! So when passing by a bustling town, he prepared a set of gifts—that is, that set of porcelain.

The level of craftsmanship in this world is not high, and the price of porcelain is quite expensive, especially fine porcelain, which only the great nobles can afford, and the declining nobles such as the knights of Parn can only afford to use more exquisite pottery. Using fine porcelain as a gift not only has face and status, but also helps the knights of Pahn. Imagine that in the future, when a guest comes to the knight's house of Parn, he entertains him with fine porcelain, what a face!

It's just that Ray didn't expect that the knight of Parn had died, so he added a bag of gems to the porcelain set temporarily.

The family of the knight of Parn looked quite difficult, especially the sentence that Liv had just said that "the agreed time for repayment has not yet arrived", which almost made him guess the reason - nothing more than a lack of money.

Money, thanks to the blessings of the monsters who were sent to the door, his pockets are bulging during this time!

This bag of gems is actually a sum of money that he specially prepared, about half of which are low-grade gemstones with a unit price of about fifty gold coins such as aventurine, chalcedony, and crystal, and the other half are cheap gemstones such as white pearls, agate, and turquoise that cost about ten gold coins. There are also a few amber, coral, spinel and other coins worth about 100 gold coins, and the more high-end ones are gone. The total value is about 1,500 gold coins.

This is, of course, for the convenience of cash, after all, gems such as Becuri's Gems, Diamonds, and King's Tears, which are worth a few thousand gold coins, cannot find suitable buyers in smaller towns, and when they are really in a hurry to use the money, they often have to sell them at a low price. In contrast, these low-to-mid grade gemstones are much more convenient.

So Ray prepared several packs of these gems, all so that they could be quickly exchanged for cash when needed.

In fact, for him who has a large space bag, even if he carries tens of thousands of gold coins, it is not inconvenient, but it is not in line with his habits.

Such a bag of gems is also more in line with etiquette. Sending a set of porcelain all the way is enough to be high-end and high-grade, and if you match some high-end gemstones, it is too grand and incompatible.

Ray's two carefully selected gifts were welcomed by the family of the Knight of Parn, and little Ness happily took out the glittering gems from the gem bag and looked at this and that, smiling and blushing, while the eyes of Teague and Liv's mother and daughter were completely attracted by the beautiful set of porcelain.

"This gift...... It's too precious!" Mrs. Teague looked a little overwhelmed.

She knew very well the value of this set of porcelain, which was a real treasure compared to the gems that were not too valuable despite their various colors. Even if it was placed in the Dukes' parlor, it would never be rude. In their knight's house, which was in a state of distress and despair, it was a bit of a pearl covered in dust.

And Liv, who had been worried about money all this time, was even more dumbfounded, and couldn't help muttering: "How much is this worth!"

She has also stopped by high-end shops selling all kinds of gems and crafts more than once, admiring those fine goods, so she is quite familiar with these things. Especially the lack of money during this period made her more sensitive to prices. For example, the bag of gems, she easily estimated the price.

But...... She couldn't estimate the price of this set of porcelain.

They are obviously high-end goods, not ordinary high-end, very high-end! There are no goods of this grade on the shelves of that store, and perhaps only the inner rooms that are not open to the public will sell goods of this grade.

So, how much is it worth?

Two thousand, five thousand, or more?

For Liv, who has been tormented by money for a long time, and often feels that her eyes light up when she sees gold, this expensive porcelain is so dazzling that she even feels like she is burned by looking directly at the sun.

It wasn't until her mother reminded her that she realized that it was tears that flowed down.

Ray and Steele didn't speak, just sat there smiling and waiting for them to clean up.

After a while, the mother and daughter finally calmed down, and Mrs. Teague accepted the gift, telling Liv to keep the porcelain set carefully so that it would not be damaged. As for the gems, they should have been carefully collected, but because of the contrast of the porcelain, they were so overshadowed that she didn't even pay attention to them.

Although I feel a little uneasy in my heart, one of the most important things in aristocratic etiquette is not to refuse gifts. In particular, these gifts are given by the satanic mage as a symbol of gratitude for the saving grace of life, which cannot be refused. If you reject them, it means not taking life-saving grace seriously, and the subtext is "your life is not worth anything".

That's so rude!

"I'm so sorry to let you see such a faux pas. Mrs. Teague did not hide the family's current predicament, and said with a wry smile, "Thank you very much for your gifts." If you're not in a hurry, can you stay at the mansion and have dinner with us?"

Of course, this is also the proper etiquette, and Ray and Steele are very familiar with this set of etiquette, so naturally they will not refuse.

It's just that when Sui Xiong smelled the smell coming from the kitchen from afar, he couldn't help frowning.

"Steele, you're going to do me a favor. He said quietly.

Ever since Steele joined the team, his mouth had been nourished by this skilled cook. At this moment, I smelled the bad smell in the kitchen, and I immediately felt a little distressed, worried about whether I would encounter the legendary dark cuisine.

Sui Xiong didn't understand the etiquette of the aristocracy, for him, the world was not as big as his stomach. To abuse himself for the sake of face, while eating something that even dogs don't care about, he squeezed out a smile and praised, and that was when he was chasing his girlfriend on earth.

Sadly, he failed in the first place. Not because of the diet, but because the girl hated men who played games.

It's just a matter of abusing his taste buds and stomach, and he can't even tolerate the little hobby of playing games, so it's better for such a big lady to be her princess, Brother Xiong can't afford to serve her!

When Steele offered to help out in the kitchen, Mrs. Teague was taken aback—it was very unruly. But she quickly realized the reason and nodded with a wry smile.

Now sitting in the living room, who will be busy in the kitchen?

Liv's cooking skills are very clear as a mother!

So she really couldn't refuse Steele's request, after all, she couldn't let the guests eat Liv's food.

It's really unreasonable to put down a guest who has come from all over the world with dark cuisine!

When Steele came to the kitchen, her face was full of smoke and fire, and she was struggling with pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, and salt, but Liv smiled awkwardly as the food became more and more hideous.

She knew she had done her a bad job this time.

"Wash your face and hands, I'll be fine soon." Steele didn't laugh at her, but still smiled like a spring breeze and went straight to work.

Her cooking skills can be described as exquisite, and even the action of cooking vegetables is full of rhythm, and with her bewitching posture, it is enough to make men look animalistic - this is what she has specially practiced, and everyone understands the reason.

Liv was there to help, and she was envious, subconsciously imitating Steele's movements. But when she realized the difference in stature between the two sides, envy turned to frustration.

As a girl with a quarter of the moon elf blood, Liv can also be called quite beautiful. However, the Moon Elves have never been known for their sexiness, and almost all of them are princesses of Taiping, which is not obvious to Mrs. Teague, but Liv doesn't know if it's because of the atavism, and her figure clearly reflects the style of the Moon Elves.

Although she is taller than Steele, when it comes to feminine charm...... Alas, such a sad topic, don't talk about it!

She looked at Steele's fiery figure, and then at her own figure, which was clearly that of a young knight as long as she changed her clothes and put on her helmet, and she couldn't help but feel sad and returned to the living room dejectedly.

Seeing the eldest daughter return from the kitchen, Mrs. Teague frowned, slightly dissatisfied with her faux pas. But looking at her daughter's depressed face, she quickly guessed the reason and couldn't help but shake her head.

Elves never care about the boring issue of "body", but for mixed-race people living in human society, this problem is a headache.

Her daughter seems to have inherited her father's talents, and she is quite good at swordsmanship, horseback riding, and shooting, and she also has a good performance in culture, but she almost doesn't understand the talents that women should have.

...... Perhaps, it is not a good thing to be stimulated this time.

Telling Liv to have a good chat with the guests, and by the way, to make sure that Ness didn't let her cause trouble, she went to the kitchen.

Miss Steele may be able to do it all by herself, but keeping guests busy is not hospitality.

"Miss Liv, I just noticed something, may I take the liberty of asking?" and when Mrs. Tigue went to the kitchen, Ray asked.

Liv certainly wouldn't mind his "presumptuous questioning", but her face sank when she heard the specifics of the question.

Ray inquired about the origin of the crossbow bolt in the corner of the wall outside the door.
