The early morning sunlight passed through the windows of the castle and fell on the walnut table. It was reflected by the beautiful translucent pebbles on the table into Miss Rabbit's eyes, making her dizzy.
"Ruby?!" the girl lost her voice, "One, two, three, four...seven, there are seven in total! They are not small, and more importantly, the size and shape are exactly the same. Which jewelry master is this masterpiece?
?”
As we all know, gemstones are very hard and difficult to process.
Miss Rabbit herself also has a ruby, which is on the knife. It is almost a complete raw stone. It has not been treated in any way and is simply inlaid on the handle of the knife.
On the continent of Bratis, the dwarves master the most advanced gem processing technology. Not only can they polish and change the shape of gems, but the gems that pass through their hands can also become more gorgeous, pure, and beautiful.
Only a very small number of dwarves with the highest level of skill can hold the title of Jewelry Master.
It is said that even the gods would be attracted and amazed by the gemstone ornaments they produced, let alone the nobles on the continent of Bratis.
Major families are vying to buy and collect the masterpieces of jewelery masters, and even go so far as to start wars. The most famous one is the War of Tears of the Goddess.
The only daughter of Duke Theodore, the most beautiful woman in the Golden Valley, Miss Donya, known as the Lark, made a statement when she turned sixteen, saying that she wanted the last piece of jewelry from the dwarf master Vladislaus before his death.
Posthumous work - Necklace of Tears of the Ocean Goddess.
Whoever finds the necklace can become her husband.
As soon as these words came out, all the single male nobles in the Golden Valley were excited and began to search frantically for the Tears of the Ocean Goddess.
The first person to find this necklace was a knight. His family was not particularly wealthy. There were many doubts about how he obtained this priceless necklace, but it was no longer important, because he got it.
The necklace only lived for less than a day before the Tears of the Ocean Goddess fell into the hands of its second owner.
But that guy wasn't much better. As soon as he caught it, he paid the price of an arm, so the necklace was snatched away by a third person...
There are now different opinions on how many hands the Tears of the Sea Goddess passed through. Some say it was more than a dozen, some say it was more than twenty. Some admirers of Miss Donya even claimed that hundreds of nobles were attracted by this necklace.
And lost his life.
Let's not say whether this number is exaggerated, but in fact the war actually broke out half a month later, when Charles Lorraine, the most outstanding young man in the Lorraine family, was assassinated.
This horrifying and vicious incident finally triggered the thousand-year-old grudges among the three ancient families in the Golden Valley. The three major families recruited vassals one after another and mobilized their troops. Rivers of blood flowed from the killings, and the brains of dogs were almost knocked out.
However, the irony is that in the end, Tears of the Sea Goddess fell into the hands of a little-known and down-and-out nobleman. Duke Theodore did not dislike his identity and happily married his only daughter to this lucky man.
.
It is said that the two got married quickly the next day. The whole thing smelled of conspiracy, but by the time the three major families reacted, it was too late.
The Tear of the Goddess War severely weakened their vitality, and they were no longer able to shake the rule of Duke Theodore and the Campbell family behind him over the Golden Valley.
I'm going too far. In short, excellent gemstones are rare, and there are even fewer jewelry masters who can give them sublimation and new life. Every piece they leave behind will be immortal.
However, as far as Ilea knows, no matter how good the jewelry master is, he does not have such miraculous skills.
The girl carefully picked up an artificial ruby with her thumb and index finger, put it under the sun to observe, and then she was shocked again.
"How is it possible, how is this done?! Why does your gem have so many facets, and it looks more dazzling and pure than ordinary rubies?"
"This is a princess cut. This type of cut only appeared in my hometown in the past century. It has 76 facets and can better reflect sunlight, so it looks so shiny."
As for purity, can artificial products be impure?
Li Yu didn't say the last sentence. After he received the goods sent by the manufacturer, he also did some homework online and asked Miss Rabbit, "How is it? How much do you think it can be sold for?"
Ilea rarely fell into deep thought.
It wasn't until Li Yu asked again that Miss Rabbit came back to her senses. Her eyes were full of enthusiasm and her ears were shaking at high frequencies.
Just like when she found herself narrowly escaped in an election before.
"We are going to get rich!!! How much does it cost? These things are priceless treasures. Seven rubies of exactly the same size and shape, with... what you just said, it's the princess."
“Princess cut.”
"Yes, princess cut. Although the Arias family does not collect dwarf gems, I am sure that those dwarf jewelry masters do not have such superb skills."
"It would be a pity to sell such a unique treasure in the Western Region. Most of the nobles here are country bumpkins who have never seen much of the world. They are rude and stingy. They also like to bargain when buying things."
"…………"
"As expected, I'm looking for someone to take advantage of... No, I'm a tasteful collector, so I'd better go to the royal capital. There are all big nobles there. The royal family and dukes are everywhere, and each one is richer than the last. It's said that the noble ladies there will bathe in milk.
, change all the trees in the yard to pure gold.
"As soon as I opened the window early in the morning, the air was filled with the smell of money. As far as the eye could see, it was all golden. Living in a place like this must have made me feel happy all day long."
"What kind of emperor's golden pole literature is this? Have you never been to the royal capital? Don't make random assumptions about other people's lives." Li Yu reminded.
"You haven't been there either, so why do you think I'm just imagining it?" Miss Rabbit retorted confidently, "I am a noble on the continent of Bratis, and I should obviously have more say in the lives of nobles. I
I plan to have these seven rubies brought to the royal capital and find a merchant guild to cooperate.
"We will publicize it for seven days and seven nights, let all the nobles in the city know that there is such a rare treasure, and then hold a grand auction, put them all together and sell them for a sky-high price, and then neither of us will have to worry about money for the rest of our lives.
I’m worried.”
"Is it necessary to be so high-profile?" Li Yu asked.
"It's not that I want to be high-profile, it's just that the things you brought out are too high-profile. Such treasures cannot be hidden at all. Even if you sell them cheaply in the Western Region, they will still be taken to the Royal Capital in the end. Those in the Royal Capital
Big names also have ways to find out that these gems come from the Arias family, so this time I will share 50%."
Miss Rabbit held out five fingers.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu put away the jewelry on the table and told her, "Then I won't sell it."
