The team of the Purple Moon Kingdom to the Gem Kingdom, the blood beasts used to pull the cart, even the lowest-level blood beasts were barbarian blood beasts, and the speed of the journey was naturally extremely fast.

In just three days, the Purple Moon Kingdom team had already left the Purple Moon Kingdom, passed through the defense line of the Border Gem Kingdom, and entered the territory of the Gem Kingdom.

The Gem Kingdom, which is a mountainous kingdom with not a lot of arable land, buys food from the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Crimson Kingdom almost every year.

However, it is precisely because of this mountainous terrain that this kingdom is rich in gems and extremely rich, if there is any kingdom of Purple Moon, Crimson, and Gemstones, which kingdom is more wealthy, it is the Gem Kingdom.

The abundance of precious gems that can be used as materials for rune items has made this kingdom extremely wealthy, ranking first among the three kingdoms.

After traveling in the territory of the Gem Kingdom for another three days, the team of the Purple Moon Kingdom arrived at the royal capital of the Gem Kingdom.

It is a huge city, with a hexagonal shape, and the walls and many other places are inlaid with precious stones, and from a distance it looks like a huge multicolored gem.

"Welcome to the Purple Moon Kingdom!"

Warmly greeted by the Gem Kingdom, Gray and his party entered the palace and met the current king of the Gem Kingdom, Oroco. Austin.

This is a majestic man, wearing a jeweled crown, wearing a gem-encrusted gold robe, holding a jeweled scepter, and the whole person exudes a noble and awe-inspiring temperament.

Judging from his age, this should be a middle-aged man, but in fact, His Majesty the King of the Gem Kingdom is now in his early 60s, and the reason why he is so young should have a lot to do with his strength.

If nothing else, he should be the same as the king of the Purple Moon Kingdom, and he should also be a king-level powerhouse.

Being able to become the king of a country already shows that the other party's potential is the first among the peers of the royal family, coupled with the royal family's terrifying, almost endless supply of precious resources, it is difficult for ordinary families to become king-level powerhouses, but for people like them, it is not too difficult.

Behind the King of the Gem Kingdom, slightly further back, there were two men and a woman, one of whom was supposed to be over 30 years old, while the woman and the other were slightly younger, in their early 20s.

"That's Glynve, the jewel king. Austin! ”

Saloyan whispered to Gray.

Gray looked at the woman, a very tall and beautiful woman, with long legs, and under the knee-length dress, she looked extremely slender and graceful.

The woman has long black hair, extremely delicate skin, full of crystal luster like a jewel, a high nose bridge, ruddy lips, and extremely delicate facial features.

There is a red diamond-shaped gem in the center of her eyebrows, which makes people can't help but look at her smooth jade-like forehead.

After a brief meeting between the two sides, Gray and the others were arranged to live in one of the courtyards of the Gem Kingdom's palace.

From the mouth of the Gem Kingdom, it is known that the people of the Crimson Kingdom have arrived before them, and tonight the royal family of the Gem Kingdom will hold a grand banquet for the visit of the two countries.

It was still noon, and after lunch, Francis arrived with Sophia while Gray was thinking about how to arrange his time.

"Don't you want to see the gambling stones? Let's go! ”

Francis smiled slightly.

Riding in the carriage provided by the royal family of the Gem Kingdom, the three Gray left the palace and appeared on the streets of the Gem Kingdom.

The street was wide enough for four horse-drawn carriages, and the shops on both sides of the street were bustling with business, and people could be seen coming and going from time to time.

Among these shops, you can often see a shop with a lot of stones in the shop, which is a gambling stone shop.

Obviously, as described in the books Gray had read, in the Gem Kingdom, gambling stone workshops were very common.

The carriage finally stopped in front of a three-story building, which was also a gambling stone shop, but it was much larger than what had been seen before.

The three Gray stepped out of the carriage and walked into the gambling stone shop.

In the huge space, it is extremely lively, and there are many people, judging from the way they dress, they are either rich or expensive.

These people pass by one stone platform after another, inspect the rough stones placed on the stone platform, sometimes nod their heads and pay for them immediately, and sometimes they shake their heads and walk towards the other stone platforms.

In some places, there was a group of people around, and it seemed that someone was calcing stones at the scene, which attracted the onlookers of these people.

"It's up, it's up!"

Not far away, a group of people around suddenly let out an exclamation, as if something good had been cut.

The three of Gray walked over, squeezed into the crowd with their strength, and entered the innermost part, where they saw that a stone about the size of a winter melon in front of them was slowly being cut, revealing a pink color.

"Earned, must have earned, just three gold coins actually cut out the pink gem, it must be a big profit!"

"It's so lucky, I actually cut out the top-grade rune material Pink Gem!"

Many people were talking, and next to this stone, a young man was full of excitement, nervously watching the stone solver solve the stone.

Eventually, a pink gemy, about the size of an adult's fist, appeared in front of everyone, and was held in the young man's hand with great care.

"Such a big piece, I'm afraid it's worth more than 1,000 gold coins!"

"I'll give me 1,000 gold coins and sell me this mahogany stone!"

"I'll give 1,100 gold coins."

"1200 gold."

Eventually, the pink gem was bought by a middle-aged man dressed in elaborate clothes, and the crowd dispersed.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

Francis asked with a smile.

"Okay, let's see who's luckier."

Sophia smiled slightly, full of interest.

Gray is naturally quite interested, of course, this interest is not to make a lot of money, just to enjoy the process of gambling stones, after all, with his current net worth, even if he cuts out the most precious gem, it is difficult for his mood to fluctuate too much.

In the end, the three of them chose a rough stone, and asked the calcifier to solve the stone on the spot, Gray and Francis did not cut out anything, but Sophia cut out a small piece of green wood and stone the size of a ping-pong ball, about one or two hundred gold coins, and was in a very good mood.

"His Highness Francis, His Highness Sophia, I went to look for you before, and found that you were not there, so you are here!"

With the voice, several young men and women approached, led by a young man with red hair.

The young man was very temperamental, with red hair, like a flame burning, extremely dazzling.

Beneath the flaming hair was a pair of sword eyebrows, like swords, which added a bit of masculinity to his excessively handsome appearance.

"Your Highness Lells, why are you here?"

Seeing the visitor, Francis nodded to the other party in a little surprise.

"Come in with your companions and have a look."

Lells. Crimson explained with a smile, then looked at Sophia.

"Your Highness Sophia, long time no see!"

"His Highness Lells!"

Sophia nodded in greeting.

"Who is this one?"

Lells. Crimson looked at Gray next to Francis and Sophia and asked.

"This is Gray. Fergus is a friend of ours. ”

Francis introduced to both sides.

"Gray, this is His Highness Lells from the Crimson Kingdom!"

Gray nodded and greeted the other party, but for some reason, Gray faintly noticed that the other party seemed to have some hostility towards him after knowing his name.

This made him quite strange, it stands to reason that he and the other party have met for the first time today, and they have never crossed paths before, so the other party should not be hostile to him.

Gray almost thought he was feeling wrong, but he didn't, because the two sides converged, and everyone picked a rough stone to try their luck, and the other party approached him.

"Lord Gray, do you want to make a bet with me?"

Lells. Austin's handsome face and dazzling red hair attracted the attention of many young women in the hall, and he looked at Gray and smiled slightly.

"No need."

Gray looked at Lells. Crimson glanced at her and refused.

It seems that the other party does have some hostility towards him, but I don't know why the other party's hostility arises.

"It's just a random bet, and it's okay not to bet."

Lells. The smile on Crimson's face did not change.

"No need, if His Highness Lears is interested, he might as well gamble with others."

Gray still refused.

Not to mention that he doesn't know anything about gambling stones, even if he has a lot of research on gambling stones, he will not agree, and the best way to ignore this inexplicable provocation is to ignore it.

See Gray refuse twice in a row, following Lears. The few young men who came in crimson couldn't help frowning, and their eyes were cold when they looked at Gray.

One of them, a fair-skinned young man, said in a disgruntled voice.

"What do you mean, His Royal Highness Lears sent you an invitation, and you didn't agree, because you looked down on His Highness Lells?"

"If you don't agree to the invitation of the gambling stone, you look down on it, isn't your logic a little abnormal?"

Gray couldn't help but be slightly cold, and inexplicably became hostile to himself, although the other party was a prince, he was really not afraid.

This is the Gem Kingdom, not the Crimson Kingdom controlled by the other party, and it is definitely not a place where the other party can act recklessly.

Moreover, as a nobleman of the Purple Moon Kingdom, he is not under the jurisdiction of the other party, and it is impossible for the other party to run to the territory of the Purple Moon Kingdom to attack him, so he naturally has nothing to fear.

"Okay, it's just the first time we met, and I'm quite interested in Lord Gray, since Lord Gray is not willing to gamble on stones, then forget it!"

Lells. There was a cold flash in Austin's eyes, but his face remained unchanged and he waved his hand to stop the argument.

"His Highness Lears wants to gamble on stones, right? Then I'll be with you! ”

Francis also extended an invitation at the right time, which defused the tension between the two sides.
