Chapter 129: What is precious?
"I didn't say I didn't believe you, but you have to show evidence, Count Hillock, I hope you don't lie, or I'll revoke your earldom." Queen Sheldon was a little funny, the two pieces of jewelry that Lin Xuan gave her were the two most perfect pieces of jewelry she had ever seen since she was born, how could she believe that he was better with Sherlock's words.
Lin Xuan looked over, Count Shylock, as a dwarf, if the people around him didn't get out of the way, he basically couldn't see it, and the beard he tasted was a bit of the majesty of an earl, but his expression was a little obscene, which made people believe that this guy was a liar. Although Sherlock is not good-looking, but he is a jewelry tycoon of Fei Lengcui, every year on the Queen's birthday or heart, Queen Sheldon wears jewelry specially made by him, only this year is an exception, the dwarf Shilllock is also a little angry, whose jewelry can be as good as his, Queen Sheldon must be blinded. So Shylock jumped out without hesitation, dissatisfied that the queen was not wearing his jewelry.
"Your Royal Highness, I opened the largest Shylock jewelry store on Cassie Street, and if you need it, I can ask my clerk to deliver the best jewelry in the store right away." Shylock patted his chest, serious, the rare treasure in Shylock's heart was a green agate necklace from the elf country.
The green agate necklace was obtained by the merchants of the Elf clan in business with Shylock, and it has always been the lifeblood of Shylock, and no one is willing to give it, and he is nervous to death when he looks at him.
"Oh? Count Hillock, hurry up and bring it, and I'll arrange for a master jeweler. When Queen Sheldon heard that Shilllock still had a rare treasure, her eyes immediately lit up, and this Sheldon gave her some fine jewelry, nothing amazing. But the necklace and ring that Lin Xuan gave her did satisfy the queen's need for jewelry.
"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll let you know what a treasure is." Then Shylock glanced at those who didn't believe him with disdain, and many nobles waited and watched, the jewels that the queen wore today had already amazed every nobleman, and if there was a better one, it would have to open her eyes.
Lin Xuan sneered, this Sherlock is really not interesting, these jewels were stolen back from the Sea God Temple by the undead captain, the jewels paid tribute in the Sea God Temple must be the most precious, the Sea God's sphere of influence is not known how many times larger than the Kamikaze Country, only the princess and queen of the Sea God clan are worthy of these treasures, and these two pieces of jewelry are used on Queen Sheldon, which can be regarded as a drop price.
Lin Xuan didn't believe that this dwarf Shylock could find anything better. However, Lin Xuan didn't make a sound, he just watched from the side, and Emperor Kidd was also attracted over: "I rarely see this jade necklace and this pearl ring, are you sure there is something better than them?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, I do have a better one than it, and I have asked people to go back and get it." Shylock was a little irritable, but he was still very low-key in front of the king, and bowed his head respectfully.
"Well, Count Shylock, I choose to trust you, and you don't want to disappoint us. Everyone enjoyed a beautiful dinner while waiting for Shylock's servants to bring the jewels. Emperor Kidd coughed and motioned for the dinner to continue.
After a while, Shylock's servant came running out of breath, followed by a man with a long beard, with a withered face and a tall and thin figure. Shylock's servant ran to Shylock: "Lord Earl, I have brought it, and I have invited Kirk, the master jeweler, to come." ”
Shylock's servant pulls out a crystal gift box from his bag, which contains a green agate necklace. Some of the nobles standing next to Shylock were amazed, it was the first time they had seen such a large agate. The surrounding countesses and marquises all gathered around, and suddenly there was an exclamation.
Pushing away the crowd with a proud expression, Shilllock walked up to Queen Sheldon, knelt respectfully, and handed over his most precious treasure. Queen Shelton was also surprised, this agate necklace of Sherlock was pure and well-made, and if it was in normal times, the queen would definitely love it. But today, after seeing the necklace and ring that Lin Xuan gave her, Queen Sheldon's vision has become higher, and even this agate necklace, which is not usually seen, feels that it is commonplace, and the queen's vision has been raised a lot by Lin Xuan's jewelry.
"Although I think this agate necklace is good, there is still a big gap between it and the jade necklace I am wearing now, so I don't feel it, after all, I am not a master jeweler. I'll call a master jeweler to appraise you, and I'll reward you if Shylock's agate necklace is of better quality. Queen Sheldon took a look at it, closed the crystal box, and handed it to the maid next to her.
Shylock was poured a basin of cold water, a little incredulous, his most precious jewelry, the queen can't even look down on it, how is this possible, Shylock is still very unwilling: "Your Royal Highness, I brought the appraisal master Kirk over, let him appraise it, if my agate necklace is not of good quality, I voluntarily apply for the revocation of my earl qualification." ”
Only then did Lin Xuan notice the long-bearded master behind Shylock, this master was a little familiar, and Lin Xuan had an insight.
Master Jeweler - Kirk.
Kirk is the chief jewelry appraiser of Hillock, and he is also Hillock's trust, Lin Xuan's friend went to sell jewelry, so he went to Hillock's jewelry store, obviously a very rare jewelry, which was said to be fake by this Kirk, and bought it at a very low price, but the next day, the same jewelry was sold at a high price in the jewelry store. Kirk helped Shylock deceive many players, and later, no player was willing to sell jewelry to Shylock's shop.
Shylock is a liar, Lin Xuan smiled, this Shylock was not reconciled, and he actually found a trust.
"This is Kirk, the master jeweler." One of the counts was amazed, it seemed that this count was also a tray, and the nobles who were close to Shylock began to praise this Kirk, who had already blown Kirk into the world's number one master jeweler.
"Now that a well-known master jeweller is present, it is up to him to make the most just decision." Queen Sheldon also wanted to end this farce as soon as possible, although she was more biased towards Lin Xuan in her heart, but since there was a master jeweler present, she should be firm.
"Alright, nobles, and young ladies, let Kirk appraise it, and I will prove to you that my jewelry is the best jewelry in the world." Shylock smiled treacherously, with Kirk as a good friend, his agate necklace would definitely be worth a fortune, and when the time came, he would give it to the queen for more benefits.
"Wait." Lin Xuan walked towards Sherlock, "Dear Earl Sherlock, I am the owner of the Bright Moon Jewelry Store, and the jade necklace and pearl ring on Queen Sheldon are my birthday gifts to the Queen. ”
It would be unwise to rush up and say that this Hillock Agate is of bad quality and that Kirk is a big liar. The Kamikaze Kingdom pays attention to etiquette, and with Lin Xuan's current status, it is possible to revoke the title of baron if he insults the earl. He's a human, not an NPC that's supposed to be intelligent.
Lin Xuan nodded to Queen Sheldon and saluted: "Your Royal Highness, I have been watching calmly from the side, I don't want to fall out with this earl over one or two pieces of jewelry, and at the same time, I also explain that my jade necklace and pearl ring are definitely worth more than Sherlock's jewelry." And there is a sea magic in my jewelry, may I ask Count Shylock, is there a magic in your jewelry to delay aging and maintain youth? ”
"It turns out that those necklaces and rings have ocean magic, and they are priceless." Next to a marquis said.
Shylock's eyes narrowed into a slit, but it was difficult to hide his anger, he glanced at the many nobles present, and said calmly: "Maybe it's just ordinary magic, say ocean magic." It just so happened that I brought a master jeweler over and asked him to appraise and make a fair decision, and I am sure everyone was satisfied. ”
The nobleman standing with him behind Shylock nodded, indicating that this method was absolutely fair, and if the master jeweler cheated, his jewelry appraisal qualification would be revoked, and he would not be able to engage in related professions for life.
Queen Sheldon nodded, signaling that Kirk could begin the appraisal, and for the sake of justice, the Queen did not comment. She took off the jade necklace around her neck, the necklace was rippling with ocean magic, making the people around her very comfortable, the ordinary agate necklace compared to this jade necklace, like a small pebble compared to a pearl, it is not worth mentioning at all.
However, everyone is still waiting for the results of Master Kirk's identification. Master Kirk wanted to identify the two necklaces, but was stopped by Lin Xuan: "The master's identification skills can be said to be unparalleled in the world, so naturally he will not do those deceitful things." ”
Kirk's withered face was a little uncomfortable: "Of course, my reputation is not blown, I have never made mistakes, and this time is the same." ”
Kirk smiled slightly, a little arrogant, after all, he could show his hand at the queen's birthday banquet this time, but it was quite honorable, there will definitely be many people looking for him to appraise in the future, and the price of his appraisal will also rise, thinking of this, Kirk is very excited.
"However, I see that you were invited by Shylock, so naturally you are on Shylock's side, if you deliberately say that my necklace is not good, I can't help you, right?" Lin Xuan said word by word, slowly, NPC's intelligence is very limited, and it is not easy to understand Lin Xuan's words.
Kirk paused, then his expression became serious, condensed a layer of frost, and he was a little angry: "So, what do you say, I can't trust you in appraisal, so who are you going to call, is there a more famous appraisal master than me in Pavarotti?" ”
"This is to ask the queen for help, Her Royal Highness has always advocated fairness, and there is also an appraisal master in the palace, the two of you identify at the same time, everyone speaks with the data of the identification, what do you think? Master Kirk has a reputation, and he won't refuse my offer. Lin Xuan smiled, this is what he wants, if he simply lets this Kirk identify, no matter how good Lin Xuan's jewelry is, it will be worthless in his hands.
Queen Sheldon smiled: "It's decided, call the Identification Master Fick over." The queen instructed her servants.
Emperor Kidd took a sip of red wine and said with a smile: "Don't lie, you have one to say, and two to say." ”
Shylock nodded yes with an unnatural expression, but his eyes stared at Lin Xuan viciously, he must hate Lin Xuan to death, a troublemaker.
