Chapter 502 Ordinary artwork?
Early the next morning.
The library resident received a visit from Claude and Mr. Cecil.
Because he was busy designing and drawing the rune array for Catherine's shield, Brand was not originally prepared to meet with the two great men.
Anyway, the two eldest men just wanted to see the two "artifacts" they talked about.
Just let Catherine show it to them.
But in the end, Catherine found Brand with a frustrated face, saying that she had failed to complete the task assigned by Brand.
After reaching out and touching his head to express comfort.
Brand suspended the research and design of the shield.
Under the leadership of Catherine, he found the two elders who were resting and chatting in a pavilion where the library resides.
Seeing Brand's arrival, the two eldest men looked at each other with unexplained scrutiny.
After Brand approached, Master Claude took the lead in attacking:
“Brand!
A duel is a sacred thing, and fairness is its due Important premise!
Using an artifact that destroys fairness in a duel, even if you win in the end, it will be a humiliating victory! ”
Hearing this, Brand calmly spread his hands and said:
"As an outstanding noble descendant of the Kaya Empire, of course I am willing to maintain the fairness of the duel.
However, I will not accept unreasonable Accusation."
After responding like this, Brand turned the topic back to business:
"I heard that the two elders have doubts about the content of the contract?"
< br>
Hearing this, Mr. Cecil nodded with displeasure, then pointed to the contract on the table and said:
"We just checked those two things of yours. You actually gave so much." Restrictions.
This will seriously affect our comprehensive and detailed inspection of the two illegal items.
If we cannot conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection,
then we will not be able to do so. The method determines that the next will be a fair duel
You must also know very well by now that the 'insiders' outside believe that even if they are not divine weapons, they are not much worse than divine weapons!
Under such circumstances, it is necessary for us to conduct strict inspections on them. "
Following that, Mr. Claude also added with a bad look:
"Judging from your current actions, we are now certain that there is a problem with those two things. !
The reason why you did this is probably to cover up their magic, right? ”
Brand was quite speechless regarding the judgments of the two great masters.
The reason for asking them to sign a contract before inspecting two things.
That’s because no matter the "Magic Book" or the "Inheritance Cross".
The model structures inside are very subtle and exquisite.
——When practicing building rune arrays out of thin air on weekdays, a slight mistake may destroy their internal model structure.
Although for Brand, realizing them only requires a little mental energy.
The specific value is about the same as a bottle of refreshing potion.
But this is not the case for other people in Farnes Continent.
Such a subtle and delicate structure.
It is no exaggeration to call it the work of a top art master!
Such a "precious thing"!
Brand will not let the two great masters study at will.
After thinking briefly, Brand said:
“What I must explain in particular is:
Both the magic book and the inheritance cross are very fragile.
The restrictions in the contract were not to hinder the two great masters from conducting inspection and research, but to protect them from damage.
Besides their high value, I am prepared to use them in a duel.
If it is damaged, it will affect my duel with Mr. Holland.
Of course, if the two elders really have doubts about the various restrictions in the contract, it is not impossible to remove those restrictions. But then I would have to add a deed clause for damages.
We can invite masters in related fields to judge the specific prices of the two items.
In addition, due to the adverse impact on the duel, the two lords also have to pay compensation. "
Hearing Brand's calm words.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Claude said with a questioning look on his face:
"If he is really If we damage it, of course we should be compensated.
But you don’t have any conspiracy waiting for us, do you?
For example, if you set a trap on these two things, they will be damaged when we touch them? "
Brand shrugged and said:
"If the two lords have such concerns, it doesn't matter if they write these details into the contract. ”
After taking a deep look at Brand.
The two elders ran to the side and used a soundproof barrier to block Brand's perception, and then began to discuss.
Brand was not made to wait long.
Soon, they lifted the barrier.
Master Claude then handed a completed new contract into Brand's hands.
The content of the contract is similar to what Brand said before.
Although various research restrictions have been removed, compensation terms have been added.
In addition, many restrictions on Brand's side were also added to the contract.
One sentence summary:
The things handed to them must be intact, and traps that will cause damage to the items cannot be set up.
After finishing reading, Brand signed his name casually.
Wait for the two elders to finish signing.
Brand took the inheritance cross and magic book from Catherine.
After a simple inspection to confirm that it is intact.
He handed it over to the two great masters.
After that, I didn’t talk much with the two elders.
Brand said goodbye gracefully, and then went back to continue researching and designing the rune array for Catherine's shield.
On the other side, after watching Brand walk away.
Claude and Cecil couldn't wait to study these two suspected "artifacts".
The more they studied, the more they frowned.
First of all, the workmanship of the various decorations on the exterior of these two things is extremely extraordinary.
Every gem and every decoration on it is completely natural.
There is absolutely no trace of artificiality or magic.
From this point of view, it is not impossible to say that they are of extraordinary value.
But!
These decorations are all flashy and have no extraordinary properties!
Apart from these decorations, the main body of these two things is a kind of metal.
Although they have never seen this metal, they can tell after a simple inspection:
This metal does not have any extraordinary properties.
The only thing that makes them special:
Probably there are extremely dense and subtle "textures", or "gaps", inside these two things.
——Perhaps this is a "unique trace" left by a special manufacturing method?
After a while of research and simple discussion.
The two eldest men finally borrowed the empty video screen at the library station and sent communication requests to several other eldest men.
After everyone arrived, the two elders began to detail today’s conversation with Brand.
Immediately afterwards, they talked about the results of their research on the magic book and the inheritance cross.
Summary in one sentence:
A work of art without any extraordinary properties!
