Chapter 992: A Scepter
I'll admit that I'm fooling the fairy patriarch with half-truths, but I have no choice but to do so.
From the tone alone, I could tell the Fairy Patriarch's admiration for Empress Ophelia, something like this I'd seen in a previous lifeβthe fanaticism of fans in their pursuit of the Emperor's superstardom.
Knowing this fanaticism, I can't tell her the truth, otherwise the fairy patriarch will definitely be angry with me, and the consequences will be embarrassing, after all, my hole cards are still in the elf patriarch's territory.
When the fairy patriarch heard my words, he fell silent and did not respond for a long time.
I waited for nearly five minutes, and when she still didn't reply, and I couldn't disturb her or hang up the crystal, I had to hold the call crystal in one hand and walk towards the metal box.
On the metal box, the black outer membrane was gone, and the silver and bright steel shell appeared, I looked up and down, but did not find a place to open the box, so I communicated with the big knife in my heart, and decided to open it in a violent way.
I placed the knife flat on top of the metal box, and while transporting the killing intent, I asked it to help keep an eye on the contents so that they don't break it.
The blade of the daitai knife sliced inch by inch on the stainless steel box, as if cutting tofu, which was simple and easy.
When it was about six inches down, the big knife shouted to stop, and I instantly withdrew the killing intent and asked it, "Do you see what's inside?" β
Da Taidao said: "I saw it, it seems to be ...... Sceptre? β
"Scepter?" I looked at the carvings on the wall and asked, "Is that the one on the wall that the little man is holding?" β
"Your question is difficult," Da Taidao said: "How rough the carvings on the wall are, who knows if this one and that one are the same!" β
"Yes," I said, "let's cut open the metal box first, and then take out the scepter and then make a closer look at the one on the carving." β
After that, the big knife and I made several more slashes, and completely cut the top of the metal box into several unrelated pieces of stainless steel, and put the steel pieces into the bag one by one, and I saw a scepter the length of an arm.
Reaching out and snatching the scepter out of the chest, I examined it closely: it was light, smooth to the touch, it was probably made of wood, and it was carved with countless beautiful patterns, but I didn't understand what they were trying to convey, but one thing was for sure, they were very similar to some of the ghost drawings on my arms.
"Let's test its hardness," Ota suggested.
"Okay."
I answered, held it and tapped it the metal box, and there was a crisp sound, and when I picked it up and looked closely, there were no cracks or marks left on the tap, well, it was hard.
"Would you like to try it with me?" Dataidao suggested again.
"Forget it," I said, "after all, you are a sharp weapon, and it can only be regarded as a blunt weapon at best, and it is very unfair to use a sharp weapon to cut a blunt weapon, and it is also a blunt instrument made of wood." β
"Hmm......" Da Taidao groaned for a moment and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. β
"Besides, this is a scepter that I bought for as many jewels as a mountain, and I can't just destroy it."
"Then you're going to ......"
"Of course, I want to find someone to help identify what this thing is, estimate the price, and then make plans."
"Yo hey, it turns out that you are still very economically minded," Da Taidao said hehe.
With the scepter in my backpack, I decided to go home.
Da Taidao asked, "Don't take any other roads to see?" β
"I won't look at it today, I'm a little tired, go back and take a shower, rest and rest, and continue to visit the grave tomorrow after breakfast."
Back in front of the tomb door, I used a big knife to chop the round rolling stones blocking the door into broken stones, and after chopping, the voice of the fairy patriarch came out of the call crystal: "Xiao Yi, what are you doing, why is it so noisy over there?" β
"I'm on the way, Grandma Patriarch."
"Open the way? What is the road? Grandma asked.
"The way back," I said, "when I went down to the mausoleum, there was a big rolling stone blocking the road, and I had to chop it up." β
"Oh......" The fairy patriarch replied, she groaned a little, and said, "Xiao Yi, will you come to this mausoleum tomorrow?" β
"I'm definitely coming," I sighed and said, "If I don't come, I won't even be able to pay the bill." β
"Can't afford to pay the bill?" The fairy patriarch was surprised: "Aren't you very close to Master Dewey?" You shouldn't be short of money, huh? β
"yes, there shouldn't be a shortage of money in the first place, but ...... Hey, the situation is unique, and I have to make money on my own to pay off the bills. β
"And how much do you owe?" The patriarch asked.
"I owe tens of thousands of gold coins," I rubbed the bridge of my nose in distress.
"Why do you owe so much money?" The goblin patriarch said in amazement.
"Hey, it's hard to put it into words......"
Then, I explained the ins and outs of the matter in the call crystal.
Hearing this, the fairy patriarch laughed: "It turns out that you found a master of forging weapons without permission to create a good weapon for yourself, and it caused the jealousy of the guild members." β
"Isn't it," I said indignantly, "I'll tell you, Billy is too much, and my fiancΓ©es are talking to him!" Do you think I should be angry? β
The fairy patriarch said, "If I stand in their shoes, I will definitely go to Billy." β
"Why?" I was puzzled.
"As long as you look at Billy, you can get the weapons that the celebrities have made for themselves," said the patriarch, "and towards you, you will get nothing." β
"But I'm their fiancΓ©!"
"It's because they're fiancΓ©s that they can bully you like this," the patriarch said, "If it were someone else, even if they were asked to be referees, they might not agree." β
"Now, to hear you say that, it's also true."
"It must be," said the fairy patriarch, "when did my wife tell a lie." β
After talking for a while, I was about to walk back to the burial chamber, so I stretched my waist and said, "Hey, I'm so tired, I'm so tired, I'll go home and rest early in a while, and continue to rob the tomb tomorrow." β
The fairy patriarch was suddenly silent, and after a long time, she said, "Xiao Yi, can you come to me first?" β
"What are you doing?"
"I want to hear about His Majesty Ophelia."
"I'm afraid this won't work, Grandma Patriarch," I said, "I will continue to go down to the mausoleum tomorrow to rob the tomb, and I must go home early today to rest." β
"Can't you even squeeze in a little time?"
I sighed and said, "Patriarch Grandma, please be considerate, I just want to pay off the bill this morning, and I'll tell you about other things after I have saved all the money, what do you think?" β
After a little silence, the fairy patriarch said, "If I can help you repay the amount on the bill, can you come over tonight and tell me everything you have seen about His Majesty Ophelia?" β
