The visitor had long since left, but the Earl was still sitting in his place and did not want to get up, and Fawkes, who had returned to the living room, did not dare to make a noise, but stood respectfully aside, waiting for his lord to come back to his senses.

"He's gone?"

Count Cheno's eyes were unfocused, and he was clearly still immersed in his own thoughts, and this sentence was more of a subconscious greeting than an inquiry.

"Yes...... It is said that before leaving the gate of the mansion, I asked the guards to bring me a message, hoping that I could persuade you. ”

"Uh-huh......." Cherno, who casually replied, did not mean to continue the conversation, which made the living room return to the silence it had just had.

After a long time, Count Cheno's dull eyes regained their former brilliance, and he looked sideways at the old butler who was standing beside him with his hands down, and said in a calm tone, "Put away the tea set." ”

This kind of work should have been done by the maid, but the old housekeeper took care of the Earl's diet and living safety since he was a child, and Mrs. Ellou took into account the past of the Earl of Bronk and Cheno's current age, so after obtaining the consent of her adopted son, Fawkes also became the earl's chamberlain part-time.

Mephistopheles was also happy to do the same, and compared to the faithful old butler, the maid only influenced his actions and increased the danger to which he was exposed, and could hardly help him in any way.

"Yes," Fawkes commanded, stooping down the two cups with the remnants of tea into a silver tray.

"Wait," Seeing that the old butler was going to put the two teacups and the rest of the whole set of tea sets together so that the servants could take them down and clean them, Mephistopheles immediately stopped them: "These two teacups should not be put together with other tea sets, take them down and dispose of them." ”

"No," Mephistopheles looked at the tea set that had not been formed after taking away the two teacups, and without waiting for Fawkes to answer, she denied what she had just said: "Dispose of the whole tea set together!"

"This ......" The old housekeeper's expression was a little tangled, but he still didn't say the words of persuasion, just responded respectfully "yes", and went down with the whole set of tea sets.

As for Fox's thoughts, Mephistopheles can also guess a rough idea, but she is just a little distressed about this set of tea sets that have been handed down.

Although porcelain was not too precious for the aristocracy, cooked porcelain (ancient porcelain that has been used for many years), especially tea sets that have been passed down for many years and have a beautiful appearance, are rare treasures.

In an aristocratic family like the Morte family, there are only four sets of tea sets that can be considered cooked porcelain, and this set ordered by the Earl to be disposed of is one of them.

Mephistopheles certainly knows the value of this tea set, and it is no exaggeration to say that there is absolutely no problem with exchanging it for a property located on the commercial street in the center of Silver Gray City, and those members of the Chamber of Commerce who want to improve their taste and cultural heritage will not care about this price, and even raise the price even higher in order to buy it.

Mephistopheles didn't want to destroy this set of ancient porcelain, which had its own unique cultural heritage, but in order to eliminate the almost non-existent hidden danger, he didn't mind being treated as a loser.

"Fauber," Mephistopheles called out to the old butler, who was about to leave, and said in a commanding tone, "don't dispose of this tea set as usual, you take it to the manor, tell Couch to use it as a 'start-up', and make me a new tea set." I'll see it on my desk in my study by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

"Yes!"

"Kaipin" is the sacrifice when the furnace is opened, this saying was common in the early years, but now it has basically disappeared in the long river of time. In the past, when the pottery process was immature, not only was the cost of pottery extremely high, but the success rate was also extremely low.

Therefore, every time the furnace is opened, it is a test for the potter to distinguish between life and death.

If the finished porcelain inside is found to be exquisite and abnormal, then the master craftsman's life will definitely be happy in the future, but if he finds that there is not a single shaped porcelain in the furnace, then the craftsman will have no "future".

In this case, every time the furnace is opened, the craftsmen will throw some pieces of finished porcelain inside, and the porcelain pieces that are not protected by the internal temperature furnace will soon turn to ashes under the burning of the alchemical flame, and only when all the porcelain pieces are burned by the flame, the craftsmen will open the internal temperature furnace to meet their future fate.

The porcelain pieces that were thrown into the furnace before the furnace was opened were the so-called "Kaipin", and the popular saying at that time was that there was a certain number of fine porcelain that could be refined, and only by destroying some of the porcelain fragments that had been successful in the past could new porcelain be fired that was fine enough.

Such a statement is, of course, nonsense, and it is estimated that some scheming porcelain craftsman put forward a statement that wants to shirk responsibility.

Whatever the true fate of the craftsman, his purpose was achieved, and since this statement was proposed, it has been regarded as a golden rule by countless trembling porcelain craftsmen, and with word of mouth, more and more nobles have also believed this statement, and they will not vent their anger with the slightest dissatisfaction with the fired porcelain, as they did before.

After all, if the porcelain is not burned well, you are reluctant to put more "enlightenment" into it, and if you are not reluctant, it means that you are stingy, and for the aristocracy, "stinginess" is the most despised.

As a result, they were much more tolerant of their craftsmen, and rarely hurt the lives of their craftsmen unless they did not harvest any more grains after the furnace was opened.

Mephistopheles has always felt that the progress of porcelain-making technology to this extent is absolutely indispensable to this "enlightenment" system.

However, with the progress of porcelain-making technology, the "Qipin" system has gradually been eliminated.

The success rate of "opening the furnace" is getting higher and higher, and the cost of making porcelain is getting less and less, which makes porcelain, which was originally a luxury product, gradually become a common commodity, and craftsmen do not have to worry about "opening the furnace" every time they "open the furnace", as they did in the early years.

Mephistopheles said that this request was not intended to restore the "furnace" system, but to find a perfect excuse for completely destroying the tea set.

If it is disposed of as usual, the devil dares to guarantee that the fragments of the tea set will definitely end up in the broken porcelain market, just like the teapot that Monroe poisoned back then.

No matter how likely this flaw is exposed, the devil will not let this hidden danger go unattended, and the best outcome is to let this tea set be burned under the flame of alchemy.

He wasn't worried that his subordinates would keep a collection of teacups or two, trusting not only Fawkes' abilities, but also the majesty of the Moult family.

What's more, there are some breaths left on the teacup that can be used as the basis for his judgment, as long as these breaths are destroyed by the alchemy flames, then his purpose will be achieved, that is, there are one or two servants who are not afraid of death secretly hiding something, and it is harmless.

Speaking of the breath on the teacup, Mephistopheles thought of Riffin and ..... who had just left. greed".

"I hope you all have a good time together. The Earl muttered, smiling innocently childlike.
