When Lawrence expressed his attitude that the stone tablet could be sold as long as the price was right, the elders of Zhu Yan and his family immediately showed a smile, then stroked their beards and said, "Since you are Zhu Yan's good friend, then we should be our elders."
Of course I can’t treat you badly. I just don’t know if you want money or extraordinary items?”
"Of course it's an extraordinary item." Lawrence replied immediately. After all, he is not short of money now, but he is very short of extraordinary items. If he can get a good extraordinary item now, he might be able to exchange it for something from the Jianmu Space.
thing.
"If that's the case, just come with me with the stone tablet." The old man said immediately, "It's not convenient to talk about many things just here. After returning to the family headquarters, we can communicate if there are things there.
It’s more convenient to get up.”
After hearing this, Lawrence went upstairs and spoke to Saifei who was reading in the study, then carried the stone tablet and went out with the elder and boarded the carriage. After the carriage started, Zhu Yan
A small table was put down from the side of the carriage and a thermos was taken out to brew tea for everyone.
"I think you seem to want to ask me something, and it just takes some time to take the bus to the mansion. So now is the time to ask those questions." After elegantly raising the tea cup and taking a sip, the Zhu said
The elder of the family looked at Lawrence and said kindly, then put down the tea cup and looked at Lawrence.
"I want to know what kind of extraordinary item this stone tablet of mine can be exchanged for?" Lawrence asked straightforwardly the question he was most concerned about right now.
"I'm not sure, because judging the value of an extraordinary item is very complicated." The elder thought for a moment and said seriously. "But what is certain is that the standard of the exchange item is a master-level extraordinary item."
"Master level?" Lawrence's eyes widened slightly, because the price given by the other party was really a bit high. After all, the most valuable thing about this stone tablet itself is the content recorded on it. And these contents have been copied by Lawrence according to the previous agreement.
One share was given to Zhu Yan, so theoretically it would not be included in the transaction price.
"You may think that I gave more, but in fact, in my eyes, the stone tablet itself is indeed worth the price." The elder took one look at Lawrence's expression and quickly guessed what he was thinking, and then explained with a smile.
road.
"Let's put it this way, if this stone tablet is in its most complete state, it is a legendary treasure. Because the knowledge recorded on it is too precious and important. But purely based on the material and craftsmanship of the stone tablet itself, this
At most, a stone tablet can be regarded as a formal extraordinary item, but it still depends on the fact that it is an old antique."
Hearing this, Lawrence nodded subconsciously. Because the valuation of the item by the elder opposite was similar to the price Lawrence had previously estimated, it could be considered a very fair valuation.
"But for a big family like ours, this stone tablet has other meanings." After talking about the objective mining analysis of this thing, Mr. Zhu finally said that he was willing to pay a lot of money to buy this thing.
Reason. "Because this stone tablet can be regarded as a summary of our family's war that year."
"Summary?" Lawrence felt a little strange when he heard this. After all, Zhu Yan and his family had not even been to the New World when the war broke out. So how can we say that this stone tablet is related to their family?
"I think you should have heard my great-nephew talk about part of my family's history." The elder clearly understood Lawrence's thoughts, so he explained. "The Mauryan Empire fleet came to the New World back then.
At that time, the ancestors of our family had not yet come to the New World. But this does not mean that we have not fought against them."
"You should have read history books before, and you also know that the cause of that war was that Lingyamen Island fell after a sneak attack, and the ancestors of our family happened to take the main force of the family and stay on Lingyamen Island in four ships.
Huo City on Sulu Island in the northeast is replenishing and recuperating, and is preparing to explore a nearby astral plane after a short three-day period of relaxation and rest.”
"Since there is a route from the Nanyang to the New World near Sulu Island, the Mauryan Empire fleet that went to the New World for a sneak attack tried to rob Huocheng, the largest port on Sulu Island. When the fleet appeared outside Huocheng
After that, a small but very cruel war broke out."
"We suffered heavy losses in this war that only lasted about a day. After all, the city did not have many defenders, and it was raided again. However, under the leadership of my ancestors and the extraordinary beings who were there at the time, the defenders
They finally defended the most important castle in Huo City and protected the innocent civilians who had been hiding there because of the fleet's attack."
"Of course, this is not because the Peacock Empire's squadron was incapable of taking over the island. The huge power gap between the two sides gave them the ability to completely destroy Huo City's defense. It was just that the target of the formation at that time was the New World, so
I don’t want to spend too much time here.”
"At the same time, the Mauryan Empire's squadron was also worried that the main fleet of Cathay would rush in from the north and collide with them, so after simply looting the warehouses in the port area and the commercial area near the port, the fleet left in a hurry
."
"In such a short battle, our family lost half of its core strength, but it caused almost the same damage to the enemy in the battle. More importantly, an elder of our family used a very rare weapon at the time.
The magic gun seriously injured one of the opponent's hero-level extraordinarys, and killed the enemy in the subsequent battle."
"It was during that battle that our family and its line of magic firearms were recognized by the public. Magic gunners were no longer regarded as a secondary profession chosen by extraordinary people with poor talents. So, then,
For our family, this battle can be said to be a battle that determines the fate of the family."
Having said this, the elder and Zhu Yan sighed deeply at the same time. Lawrence put his right hand on his left chest and bowed slightly to show his respect for those brave rebels.
After all, under the situation at that time, if Zhu Yan and his family members, as extraordinary beings, wanted to escape, there would be absolutely no way for the attackers from the Peacock Empire to stop them. At the same time, they were not in their hometown, and they had not received any orders, so
There is no obligation to guard there.
The reason why the ancestors of Zhu Yan's family paid a huge price to guard the city back then, now I think about it, was probably to protect the innocent. And such a reason is undoubtedly very great and worthy of respect. This is
The reason why Lawrence bowed slightly just now.
"Due to the huge size of the fleet back then, it was naturally impossible for the entire army to approach the port. The only ones approaching the port were a squadron led by a base ship in the fleet. And the extraordinary faction that this stone tablet comes from was the one who was neutralized in that battle.
An enemy our family fought against and caused serious casualties to both sides." After sharing the family history with Lawrence, the elder talked about this stone tablet.
"So this stone tablet that represents the demise of that extraordinary sect is very important to our family. It represents the end of a grudge that has lasted for hundreds of years."
Having said this, the old man showed a mischievous smile that did not match his age. "If you were an ordinary person, then we would only pay the market price to buy this thing. But you are Xiao Yanzi's friend, so naturally we will
We cannot treat you like an outsider and must give you a reasonable price."
Just after the elder explained the cause and effect of the matter, the carriage also stopped, and it seemed that it had arrived.
