Chapter 1856 Insult
There was a crisp sound of 'snap', and the jade carvings were shattered without exception, and scattered like a goddess scattering flowers.
The nearly flawless white jade and jasper fragments are like surging pool water, constantly jumping and breaking on the stone bricks, making dense and messy crisp sounds.
The crisp sound is very pleasant, just like the sound made by a pearl falling on a silver plate.
However, listening to such a beautiful voice made my heart feel cold.
This is all money
My cry of lamentation did not attract the attention of the two behemoths. Or maybe they had already discovered my existence, but because of the threat from each other, they chose to ignore me for now. They would not deal with me when the winner was decided. Late.
I was deeply happy that I was ignored by the two monsters, and for the first time I expressed gratitude for my weak strength: Phew, thanks to my lack of strength, I cannot pose a threat. If I were strong enough to threaten them... Uh, I If he is really that strong and can resurrect a stupid stone monster, just draw your sword and kill it. If you don't chop the scorpion into a scorpion stick, you will be sorry for our two swords!
The battle between the two behemoths continues.
In my opinion, the battle between them is not a battle, but a disguised demolition.
So far, dozens of floor tiles have been blown away and smashed, six jade carvings have been damaged due to the impact, and no fewer than twenty gold carvings have been corroded by the toxins thrown out by the scorpion's tail, not counting this. Crushed pearls and gems, and smashed coral porcelain.
This is literally the most expensive fight I have ever seen.
Even if the previous coalition forces came to the city, the food, wages and materials they consumed were less than one percent of the value of the damaged treasures!
Despite this, the ‘demolition’ continues.
After the two behemoths experienced the initial confrontation, they roughly understood the difference in strength between each other, and soon they started a more intense battle.
As the war situation escalated, the number of destroyed items in the tomb also skyrocketed.
While I watched the battle nervously, I felt heartbroken: "Oh, another jade was broken. That thing must be quite expensive. Hey, hey! Don't destroy that carving! Ah! It's over, it was smashed again. "
After feeling distressed for a long time, I said with a tragic face: "I am now very suspicious of the purpose of these two monsters fighting. I think they are probably acting, and the real purpose is to destroy the treasures in the tomb."
"It's a very convincing hypothesis," Odachi said seriously: "I almost believe it, but including the bitter plot, I have never seen such a realistic acting."
"How do you say this?"
"Look how many scorpion legs are left," Odachi said, "and look at the butt of the giant stone beast."
"Butt?" My eyes followed the giant stone beast and quickly locked onto the beast's butt.
Only then did I realize that the tail of the giant beast was gone, leaving only a short and smooth broken tail.
Then he turned his attention to the giant scorpion and found that only five of the six resting legs were left. The leg on the right side had disappeared, and the injured area was still leaking khaki liquid.
Some people say that injured and mad animals will become more ferocious, and the same goes for monsters.
The battle between the giant scorpion and the giant stone beast quickly evolved from a fierce battle to a deadly fight.
However, since the death battle began, the scope of their damage to the tomb has gradually shrunk. The scope has shrunk, but the degree of damage has increased.
In the past, they just knocked away stone bricks, but now they directly smashed a big hole in the floor of the tomb, and continued to fight to the death in the hole.
I hid behind the adamantine coffin, took out my pocket watch and looked at the time. Four hours had passed since I first entered the tomb passage. Depending on the situation, the battle between the two monsters should continue. How long it could last is unknown.
Withdrawing my head, I thought about it carefully and decided that the top priority was to open the coffin made of fine gold and find a way to cut a piece out of it. It didn't need to be too much, just enough to make a weapon for each person in my guild.
If this condition cannot be met, then I can build a weapon for each of my fiancées, including Barbara who is not in the battle order.
This is already my minimum requirement. Based on a rough estimate, I only need twenty kilograms of fine gold.
Just when I thought of this, I heard Odachi sneer.
I wondered: "Are you laughing your ass off?"
Odachi was not angry and said with a smile: "Do you think the Beastman King won't notice it after cutting off twenty kilograms of fine gold?"
"So what if I find out, I just don't admit it."
"Yes, you don't have to admit it, or you can even bite back and say that he framed you, but you don't think that the Beastman King has nothing to do with you. Don't forget, you are his son-in-law, and he can give in in any way. You spit out what you eat."
"This is a bit exaggerated. If he really dares to do this, isn't he afraid that Master Dewey will blame him?"
"If it's coercion and inducement, your adoptive father's temperament will definitely not agree to it, but if he uses Cagalli's name to give you orders, do you still have any tricks?"
I thought about it, and it really makes sense.
Master Dewey was naturally not afraid of any power, but he doted on his future daughters-in-law. Every time he visited Fort Witchburg as a guest, he would prepare a lot of precious things to give to his daughters-in-law, one for each of them. .
Others may not know the value of these precious things, but Cagalli, Aurora and other girls who grew up in aristocratic circles also know that any of these precious things are worth at least one hundred thousand gold coins. ——This is what Princess Aurora and others told me privately. If they don’t tell me, I won’t know either.
Poverty limited my imagination. Anyway, I refused to believe that a thing as small as a palm could be worth 100,000 gold coins.
But soon, I was hit by reality, because I found the same thing in the most high-end jewelry store in Moonlight City, but the quality was obviously not as good as the one given by Master Dewey.
I asked about the price: 100,000 gold coins.
Later, some gossip reporters from Moonlight City learned through some means that my fiancées all had such jewelry, and that both the quality and material were of the highest quality. They wrote a report at that time, suspecting that I had been involved in bribery and corruption. Behavior.
When I heard the news, I felt helpless.
Putting aside the issue of bribery, the position of a foreign elder cannot be corrupted at all.
First of all, the foreign elders have nothing to do with the economic department. Even if they want to get involved, they have no way to get involved.
Secondly, the elders of foreign tribes put it nicely to give members of other tribes other than goblins and elves a nice-sounding and good-looking job title. They have no real power and are only used to win people's hearts. Since there is no real power, how can we talk about corruption?
In the same way, without real power, how could anyone bribe me?
This is simply an untenable assumption.
It's simply an insult to me - I really want to be corrupt, but I don't have that platform at all. You can't help but pick up the pot. Doesn't this make it clear that mocking foreign elders is a sinecure!
