Chapter 220 The Best Gift
Something big happened in Xuefeng County.
Eric Knight led two brigades, a total of 1,100 elite Eagle Army soldiers in full armor, and set off from the Eagle Territory and headed straight for Hovey City.
The purpose is to escort the engagement gift given to Miss Nancy by Baron Raven, which is called Angel's Glory.
With such a grand occasion, it is difficult not to attract the attention of others. When passing other noble territories on the way, it is inevitable that you will be questioned.
However, no matter who the invitation was, Eric declined all invitations. He stayed in the military camp for food and accommodation, and even declined all the drinks and food sent by the lords, without revealing any details.
The tense state is like preparing for a war.
Such grandeur naturally aroused the curiosity of many people, and as Eric's trip lengthened, it became more and more intense.
Within only 10 days of departure, the entire Nord province began to pay attention to this gift-giving team.
For a time, "Angel's Glory" became the most discussed topic in Nord Province.
There were even nobles who sent their own knights, or simply went out in person, to follow Eric's team, waiting to see the treasure for the first time!
Naturally, nobles do not travel lightly. They must bring at least a dozen people with them. Coupled with the merchants who follow the trend and the mercenaries who want to learn more, the team grows stronger.
So when the team arrived at Hovey City 23 days later, it had swelled to nearly 5,000 people.
Inside and outside the west gate of Hovey City, local residents watching the excitement, businessmen, tourists, and nobles waiting here after hearing the news were crowded. Everyone looked expectant and discussed in low voices.
If viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a huge swarm of bees.
Gul'dan on the top of the city turned blue.
As early as when he heard the news of this team's departure, Gul'dan was aware of Raven's "sinister intentions."
Lei Wen made this obvious and took advantage of the opportunity of giving an engagement gift to make his new product "Angel's Glory" famous.
We didn’t even communicate with the Fox family beforehand!
Yes, now that Raven has succeeded, the entire Nord province knows that there is such a number one thing.
But this idiot little bee never thought that Fox was from the earl family.
The Earl Family!
What gift can he come up with that is worthy of matching the earl family?
It can’t be a glittering statue, right?
That is indeed in line with the aesthetics and taste of a pariah among a group of arrogant aristocrats.
The monkey puts on human skin and really thinks of himself as a human being!
The team slowly stopped, and no matter how unhappy Gul'dan was, he could only go forward.
Eric saluted by beating his chest with his hand: "Mr. Gul'dan, I..."
"We'll talk about it later." Gul'dan waved his hand: "Take a few people with you. Escort the gift to the castle with me, while the others are temporarily stationed outside the city. "
He really doesn't want the gift to appear in public. The more people see it, the more trouble it will be.
You, Raven, are shameless. The reputation of our Fox family cannot be blasphemed!
Eric still wanted to fight for it, but seeing Gul'dan's face and knowing that this was the territory of the Fox family, he had to obey the order.
However, Baron Raven had previously ordered that as many people as possible witness this gift, so even though Eric gave the order, his men still acted unhappily, and the reason was very valid - the gift was precious. fragile.
Gul'dan was so anxious that he wanted to kill someone, but he still had to wait for Eric for an hour before the things were slowly transported into the city.
The streets were so crowded that even a fly couldn't fly. If Gul'dan hadn't arranged for soldiers to maintain order on both sides of the road in advance, the carriage would have been unable to move!
Even so, when the carriage carrying the gifts drove outside the castle, the time changed from morning to noon.
The sun is blazing.
Under the bright sun at noon, a carriage drove by.
There was a buzz in Gul'dan's head - Nancy is still here.
Only ten minutes to go, just ten minutes to transport the things into the castle, close the door, and everything will be fine!
She just happened to come at this time!
The carriage stopped, and Nancy jumped out of the car. She had two tall ponytails on her head, and her apple-like face had deep pear dimples, with a heartfelt expectation and smile.
A bright red dress swayed with her steps, and the lace on the skirt corners fluttered in the wind. From a distance, it looked like a ball of flying fire.
It is indeed the fire rose of the Fox family.
“Brother, why does it take so long? I can’t wait any longer!” Nancy smiled and looked at Eric before Gul’dan responded: “Long time no see. I heard that you are now a knight. ”
"Miss Nancy, you are still as innocent and beautiful as before." Eric saluted: "On this carriage are the gifts carefully prepared by the Baron for you, which are unique in the entire Nord province and even the entire empire! "
Gul'dan's face turned slightly pale, because he knew that Nancy would definitely open this gift on the spot according to her flamboyant temper.
But at this time, a vicious pleasure arose in his heart.
He tried his best; he also tried to appease Nancy; and the move to marry Raven was his father Montreal's decision.
No matter what happens after that, the responsibility is not mine!
Anyway, Nancy, you are going to marry Raven. Let me see how you embarrass yourself in public and become the laughing stock of the entire Nord province.
This would also let his father know how outrageous his move to marry Raven was!
Just as Gul'dan expected, Nancy couldn't wait and asked Eric to open the box on the carriage on the spot.
The outer carriage was dismantled, and the interior was filled with cotton for shock absorption, while the inner layer was covered in a sheet of white satin, which was embroidered with budding roses!
"I'll do it myself!" Nancy jumped onto the carriage with excitement, pulling the white silk with her fingers, a trace of anxiety flashed in her heart, biting her lips, and suddenly opened the curtain.
Light, intense light.
The mirror reflects the sunlight, making Nancy's whole body reflected in it.
She slightly covered her lips with her hands, but the light in her eyes was almost shining brighter than the sun.
It is true that Nancy is arrogant, reckless, and willful, but this does not mean that she is an idiot. She can see Raven's intention behind giving such a high-profile engagement gift.
But she is willing to cooperate with Raven because that is the person she likes, her future husband.
Nancy was even ready to praise and publicize whatever the gift was this time.
Unexpectedly, I received such a generous gift that far exceeded my expectations!
The surface of the mirror is smooth and flat. Even though it has been transported for more than 20 days, it can still illuminate people without any falsehood.
She could see the joy in her own eyes, she could see her brother's livid face, and she could even see the faces that were so surprised that they opened their mouths and were completely lost.
The Glory of Angels!
There is no such excellent engagement gift in the entire empire, or even the entire continent!
Gul'dan looked at himself in the mirror, his mind spinning.
Ignoring his manners, he rushed to the carriage and opened his mouth unconsciously. He could even see the vegetable leaves left from breakfast between his teeth.
Impossible...impossible!
How could Raven, a mere baron, just a baron, give out such an expensive gift! ?
It is as tall as a door panel and can reflect the entire person in the mirror with extremely clear clarity. This is the most beautiful work of art in the world!
He, he actually used this kind of treasure that could be used as a betrothal gift as an engagement gift! ?
Damn it, Raven is so damned! !
This kind of art should be produced by our Fox family. Why should the little Griffith family own it! ?
More importantly, how much dowry would the Fox family have to pay to match this wealth?
You must know that since the Earl family wants to show its strength, the dowry must be much more valuable than the bride price. This time Raven not only wants fame, but also wants to use a knife to cut the flesh of the Fox family.
That’s my money!
If he had known that this would be the case, Gul'dan would have returned to the castle with this gift first, even if he tried to break up.
But now it's too late.
Outside the castle, thousands of people witnessed the enchantment of the Angel's Glory at the same time. They saw their own faces in it, and their screams and shouts were like boiling hot soup.
The eyes of the aristocratic ladies and ladies present showed unconcealable jealousy. They all looked at Nancy and wished they could take her place!
“Go to the Eagle Territory and find Baron Raven, hurry up!!” A noble suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone present immediately woke up.
Yes!
If Baron Raven can come up with this kind of treasure, he must also be able to produce it.
Maybe it’s not as huge as this Angel’s Glory, but if it were a smaller vanity mirror, it would definitely be there!
This is a business opportunity!
This is a specialty of the Eagle Territory and is irreplaceable. No matter what high price Baron Raven sells it for, he can still make money by selling it to other provinces or countries!
But at this time, most nobles just sent their servants to explore the situation first.
Because they received such a precious and luxurious gift, it was impossible for the Fox family not to hold a cocktail party to celebrate.
This is indeed the case. This cocktail party lasted for three full days. Nancy changed into different custom-made dresses every day, with a happy smile on her face, welcoming everyone's compliments and blessings. .
Guldan, on the other hand, maintained a stiff smile as he listened to everyone in the Fox family's castle praising a baron who was more than ten years younger than him.
After the cocktail party, the nobles received the news.
Angel's Glory is indeed for sale, but the prerequisite is that you must have the supreme membership of the Xuefeng County Business Alliance.
Supreme membership requires a consumption of 50,000 gold coins!
Even the Viscount family cannot come up with so much cash at once.
On the other hand, the most valuable products of Xuefeng County Business Alliance are the Angel series products.
But whether it is Angel Tears, Angel Kiss or Angel Embrace, no one has such a huge demand.
For 50,000 gold coins, if you buy Angel Tears, you need to buy nearly 20,000 bottles; Angel Kiss also costs 500 bottles; if you buy Angel Embrace, it costs 100,000.
But there was another news that followed, that is, Baron Raven was preparing to hold another press conference to introduce the new product "Angel's Gift".
For the current nobles of the Nord province, press conferences are nothing new.
Two years ago, the press conference held by Raven was impressive.
After that, various merchants and nobles followed suit. Now it has become the norm not only in the Nord province, but also in the surrounding provinces. Similar activities have begun.
The date is set for November 15th.
On November 14th, the first snow fell; on the 15th, there was no need to clean up, and the hooves of the nobles' horses trampled the snow on the street.
Almost the nobles from the entire Nord province have come. Eagle Castle cannot accommodate so many people, but fortunately there is the pride of the Lion King as a diversion.
The Arena has changed its schedule. Acrobatics and magic performances will be held during the day, and it will serve as the main venue for the press conference in the evening.
Lei Wen was already very familiar with how to arouse the emotions of the spectators. After a short speech and he succeeded, Shi Shiran walked off the stage and ordered his servants to bring the angel's gift.
Angel’s Gift is divided into two types of packaging, one is transparent and the other is opaque.
The transparent one is naturally the canned pecan green peach, which looks lovely green and does not require additional labels; the opaque one is the canned brown dace fish, wrapped in coarse cloth, mainly to cover the eyes of the dead fish that are very unappetizing at first sight. .
The canned pecan green peach is delicious and delicious. Eating it once will not only prevent people from feeling hungry for five days, but also directly treat most trauma. The shelf life is two years. A can is priced at 9.99 gold coin.
This is undoubtedly the best food for marching and fighting. It is not only delicious, but also can satisfy hunger and heal wounds. It was immediately sought after by many nobles.
You know, these days, the cost of training a truly elite soldier is very high. It only costs less than 10 gold coins to bring back a veteran who is on the verge of life and death. It is really cost-effective. Buy and sell.
Furthermore, when do nobles consider cost-effectiveness when buying things?
That’s right!
When the nobles praised the canned green peach, Raven was still watching and chiming in from time to time.
When the canned brown dace appeared, Raven immediately left the show.
This is why the press conference was held at night - it was dark, so that Raven could easily evacuate.
Even so, when he walked out of the back door, he was overtaken by the smell of pickled brown dace that almost broke through the Tianling Gai.
After Raven returned to Eagle Fort that night, he did not return to the press conference, but according to the feedback afterwards, everyone was full of praise for the canned brown dace.
The next day, many nobles and businessmen spontaneously organized together. Multiple families raised funds and began to order products in a collective name to win the qualification to purchase Angel's Glory.
The production of canned Beacon Green Peach is relatively limited. There were only 13,000 cans in the first batch, and they were sold out immediately.
The production of canned brown dace is huge. One can is 4.5 pounds, which is 2 kilograms. Even after a round of taste testing, there are still more than 200,000 cans in stock, and the price of each can is 50.5 silver coins.
Even though there is so much stock, it is all sold out.
Coupled with the newly added orders for Angel Tears, Angel Kiss and Angel Embrace, the total transaction volume of this conference reached 278,036 gold coins, bringing Raven a net profit of approximately 230,000 gold coins.
This made the balance in Raven's account directly exceed the 400,000 gold coin mark!
Such huge sales have also allowed Xuefeng County Business Alliance to add five new supreme members.
Including the Slater family represented by Hyde, there are now a total of six families qualified to purchase the Angel's Glory.
All the nobles know that the next step is the highlight, and they have saved up a large amount of gold coins, waiting to drink the first sip of Angel's Glory soup!
Raven did not start selling immediately, and did not even have a clear sales time. The reason given was that the production process of Angel's Glory was complicated, and he did not expect that so many people would be willing to buy it, so he needed more time to prepare. .
This can indeed convince all nobles that the noble quality of Angel's Glory should indeed be spent more time on.
Listening to Raven’s subtext, there are more than one Angel’s Glory for sale this time, which is a big plus!
And there are many places to play in Eagle Town, and there are constant drinking parties every day, which will not make the nobles feel bored.
The time comes to November 28th, the day when Angel’s Glory goes on sale.
On this day, representatives of the six supreme members were invited to Eagle Castle.
