Chapter 54 Princess Square Cut

The morning sunlight passed through the windows of the castle, fell on the walnut table, and was reflected into Miss Rabbit's eyes by the beautifully colored translucent pebbles on the table, making her dizzy for a while.

"Ruby?!" The girl lost her voice, "One, two, three, four...seven, there are seven in total! The size is not small, and more importantly, the size and shape are not bad at all. Which jeweler's masterpiece is this? ?”

As we all know, the material of gemstones is very hard, and it is not easy to process it.

Miss Rabbit also has a ruby, which is on the knife. It is almost a complete rough stone, without any treatment, but simply inlaid on the handle of the knife.

On the continent of Bratis, the dwarves master the most advanced gem processing techniques. Not only can they polish and change the shape of gems, but also the gems in their hands can become more gorgeous, pure and beautiful.

And only a very few dwarves who have reached the pinnacle of skill can hold the title of Jewel Master.

It is said that even the gods would be amazed by the gem ornaments they made, not to mention the nobles on the continent of Bratis.

Families scramble to buy and collect masterpieces of jewelry masters, and even wage wars, the most famous of which is the Goddess Tears War.

The only daughter of Duke Theodor, the most beautiful woman in the Golden Valley, Miss Donia, known as the Lark, said when she turned 16 years old that she wanted the last legacy of the dwarf jeweler Vladislaus before his death. Made - Necklace of Tears of the Sea 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 very excited and began to frantically search for the tears of the sea goddess.

The first person to find this string of necklaces was a knight. His family was not particularly wealthy. There are many doubts about how he got this string of priceless necklaces, but this is not important anymore, because he got After living for less than a day after the necklace, the tears of the sea goddess fell into the hands of the second owner.

But that guy was not much better, he paid the price of an arm as soon as he caught his hand, so the necklace was snatched by a third person...

After the tears of the sea goddess, there are different opinions on how many people passed through the hands. Some say more than a dozen, some say more than [-], and even Miss Donia's admirers claim that hundreds of nobles are because of this necklace. And died.

Let’s not talk about whether this figure is exaggerated, but in fact the war really broke out half a month later, when Charles Lorraine, the best young man of the Lorraine family, was stabbed to death.

This appalling and vicious incident finally ignited the thousand-year-old grievances and resentments between the three ancient families in the Golden Valley. The three major families recruited vassals one after another, and they fought hard.

However, the irony is that in the end, the tears of the sea goddess fell into the hands of an unknown and down-and-out nobleman, and Duke Theodore did not dislike his identity, and happily married his only daughter to this lucky man .

It is said that the two married quickly on the second day, and the whole matter revealed a taste of conspiracy. By the time the three major families reacted, it was too late.

The Battle of Tears of the Goddess had severely damaged their vitality, and they were no longer able to shake Duke Theodore and the Campbell family behind him over the Golden Valley.

Far away, in short, excellent gemstones are rare, and jewelry masters who can give them sublimation and new life are even rarer, and every piece of work they leave behind will last forever.

However, as far as Ilea knew, no matter how good a jewelry master was, he didn't have such miraculous skills.

The girl carefully picked up an artificial ruby ​​with her thumb and forefinger, observed it in the sunlight, and was surprised again.

"How is it possible, how is this possible?! Why does your gemstone have so many facets, and it looks more dazzling and pure than ordinary rubies?"

"This is the princess cut. This kind of cut only appeared in my hometown in the last century. It has 76 facets, which can reflect sunlight better, so it looks so shiny."

As for purity, can man-made things be impure?
Li Yu didn't say the last sentence. After he got the goods sent by the manufacturer, he also did some homework on the Internet, and asked Miss Rabbit, "How about it? How much do you think it can be sold for?"

Ilea fell into a rare 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 also entered a state of high-frequency vibration.

Just like when she found herself narrowly escaped in the election.

"We're going to get rich!!! How much is it? These things are priceless treasures, seven rubies of exactly the same size and shape, with... What did you just say, that princess."

"Princess cut."

"Yes, princess cut. Although the Arias family doesn't collect dwarf gems, I'm sure those dwarf jewel masters don't have such superb skills."

"It's such a peerless treasure...it's a pity to sell it in the western region. Most of the nobles here are bumpkins who have never seen the world. They are rude and stingy, and they like to bargain when they buy things."

"........."

"Sure enough, I'm looking for someone to take advantage of... No, I'm a collector with good taste. I still want to go to the capital. There are all big nobles there. The royal family and dukes walk all over the place, and each one is richer than the other. It is said that the noble ladies there will bathe with milk. , and replaced all the trees in the yard with pure gold ones.

"When I open the window early in the morning, ah, the smell of money is everywhere in the air. Looking around, it is all golden. Living in such a place must be a happy mood all day long."

"What kind of emperor's golden pole literature is this? Haven't you ever been to the capital? Don't make random assumptions about other people's lives." Li Yu reminded.

"You haven't been there either, so why do you say I'm imaginary?" Miss Rabbit retorted confidently, "I'm the nobleman on the continent of Bratis, and I should have more say in the lives of the nobles. I plan to have someone bring these seven rubies to the capital, and find a chamber of commerce to cooperate with.

"Propaganda 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 together and sell it for a sky-high price, and then we will not have to worry about money for the rest of our lives. Worrying."

"Is it necessary to make such a high profile?" Li Yu asked.

"It's not that I want to be high-profile, it's that the things you brought out are too high-profile. Such treasures can't be hidden at all. Even if you sell them cheaply in the western region, they will still be taken to the capital in the end. The big shots also have ways to find out that these gems come from the Arias family, so this time I will share [-]%."

Miss Rabbit stretched out five fingers.

Unexpectedly, Li Yu put away the jewelry on the table again, and said to her, "Then I won't sell it."
