576 and William's Gamble

was looked at by everyone like this, even Fabianlo's face was a little unbearable, and he said fiercely to Big William: "Big William, why don't we compare who gave a higher value of the gift this time?" ”

He was confident that the silk belt in his hand was definitely the most shining treasure today.

"Compare to compare! But since it's a comparison, I wonder what else you have to bet on? "William is not weak, although his territory is adjacent to Porto, and the economic situation of the two territories is not much different.

But William the Great was also wealthy, and left him a lot of good things, so he didn't believe that he would lose to Fabianlo at all.

It is human nature to watch the excitement, and these Visigothic nobles are naturally no exception.

And what they like the most is to show off their wealth, so when they saw the two of them gambling on this, they all gathered around with interest.

"I have a mine where we meet, and you have a forest farm, so let's bet on this! You win the mine and belong to you, I win the forest farm belongs to me! "Fabianlo, of course, is going to bet heavily at this time.

William was shocked when he heard this, this Fabianlo actually made such a heavy bet, is it really sure of victory?

No way, what good can this poor ghost have? I heard that he is going to expand the Knights, so he must have emptied his family!

And that mine had always been a place for William to covet, a great temptation for him.

After only a moment of hesitation, William said, "Okay, just as you say, but how to win or lose?" ”

Fabiano looked at the nobles gathered around and said, "How about everyone vote then?" ”

These aristocrats who watched the excitement were able to participate in the excitement by themselves, so they were naturally more active, and they all expressed their willingness to vote for what the two of them took out.

At this time, King Jindila also came over with the queen: "What are you talking about so happily?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted the king together, and then some nobles told the king about what the two had quarreled about.

King Jindira and Queen looked at each other, then smiled and said, "You two have done this, but we have aroused our interest, so let's see what gifts you have prepared!" ”

William looked at Fabialo and asked, "Who came first?" ”

"You go first!" Fabiano said indifferently.

"Hehe, if I go first, you may be embarrassed to take your things out in a while."

As soon as William waved his hand, one of his attendants came and brought him a beautiful little box.

He picked up the beautiful little box and respectfully presented it to the queen, after all, it was the queen's birthday.

The queen gently opened the small box, and the contents shone brightly in the light.

"Wow!! What a big gem!! ”

"It's so beautiful!"

"This great William is really willing!"

Inside the box is a gemstone ring, William's territory was originally very close to the Strait of Gibraltar, and his family developed it in Africa several generations ago, owning a gemstone vein in Africa.

This is also where his confidence lies, this is a ruby he specially selected and then found a ring made by a famous craftsman.

Sure enough, everyone was amazed by this ring, and the brilliant ruby was so eye-catching.

Especially the noble ladies who came with these lords, when they saw such a gem, they couldn't wait to take it directly and wear it on their hands.

Hearing everyone's admiration, William looked at Fabialo proudly, and in his mind, his expensive gemstone ring should make Fabialo admit defeat directly.

Unexpectedly, Fabialo just smiled very gracefully, and then beckoned his butler over as well. The butler handed Fabiano a long box.

Fabialo stepped forward, and the queen at this time only cared about looking at the ring on her finger, and she didn't even pay attention to Fabialo coming to give gifts.

Seeing this scene, William felt even more that the victory was in his hands.

At this time, King Kindira could only take the box in Fabianlo's hand by himself.

"Let's see what kind of treasure Fabianlo has brought?"

As she spoke, Jindila opened the box in her hand.

"What is it?"

"Like a strip of cloth?"

"Isn't it? This Fabiano is really so shabby, just send a strip of cloth?? ”

"Don't talk about it, his Porto is a place where birds don't, do you really think he can come up with something good?"

The silk belt lay flat in the box, and there were still several meters away from these nobles, so they could only roughly see that it was a strip of cloth, and they couldn't help but despise Fabiano in their hearts.

In addition, he usually doesn't think much of Fabianlo, so there is naturally more offense in his words.

But unlike them, King Kindira held the box in his own hand, and he could see the contents clearly.

He couldn't even wait to call his entourage to come and pick up the box, so he threw the box away, and then picked up the silk belt and looked at it carefully.

This move also made the other nobles stunned.

"What's the situation?"

"The king is angry? Lost all the gift boxes? ”

"It doesn't seem like it, you look at the king!"

"What the hell is it?? It doesn't look like an ordinary strip of cloth! ”

The nobles here also have different statuses, and the higher ones naturally lean to the front, wanting to see clearly what the king has in his hands.

"It's ...... This is a silk product from Datang? The king looked at Fabialo with some uncertainty.

A few years earlier he had seen a treasured handkerchief from Dagobert I of the Kingdom of Burgundy, with a craftsmanship very similar to the one he had in his hand.

Fabiano nodded and said loudly: "Your Majesty is right, this is a silk product from the Tang Dynasty, this belt is a treasure of their royal system, and the pattern on it is a divine beast called a unicorn in their country. ”

The queen, who was originally playing with the ruby ring on the side, heard that it was a silk fabric from the Tang Dynasty and was also attracted to it.

Fabianlo saw that everyone was attracted by the silk unicorn belt he had given him, and he took out the words that old Peter had introduced him.

"This silk product is not as good as ordinary silk products, even in Datang, there is also a saying that an inch of silk is an inch of gold."

"You can see that the lines on it seem to be carved with a knife, but in fact it is not, it is the carving effect made by the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty with silk threads. This belt alone would have taken more than a dozen craftsmen months to complete. ”

"Even in Datang, it is also a treasure among treasures!"
