Chapter 505: Their value is comparable to artifacts!
This is where the two great gentlemen come from.
After arriving at the Romine Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital to explain the situation.
Soon someone took the two of them to visit a master art appraiser who was familiar with the Romine Chamber of Commerce.
——A master named Clinton Parisi!
I heard that two imperial counts were visiting.
The master greeted him warmly.
After a while of courtesy, the two gentlemen also explained their purpose of "asking the master to appraise two works of art."
After Master Clinton expressed his willingness to serve.
The two elders first took out a contract.
The entry above states:
Without permission.
No information related to the two artworks can be disclosed to anyone.
Seeing a contract with such content, Clinton quickly realized that these two "arts of art" may not be simple.
After carefully reviewing the contents of the contract, Clinton signed his name casually.
After that, the two elders handed the magic book and the inheritance cross into the hands of the master.
At first, the master looked relatively calm.
After taking out various unique tools and carefully observing these two things.
He gradually became a little shocked:
“It is completely natural! There is no trace of artificiality or magic!
As far as I know, no master in the Kaya Empire has such skills! "
After saying this, as the research gradually deepened.
He gradually became confused and said:
"Although the gems and decorations here are bright and gorgeous, but They all seem to be worthless? ”
After discovering this, the master began to carefully observe the various materials that make up the magic book and the inheritance cross.
After checking all these materials, he was slightly disappointed and said:
“They are completely made of worthless ordinary materials!
Is it because of poverty?
But since you have such superb skills, you don’t have to worry about just money, right?
Isn’t the material used too stingy? ”
Listening to the master's soliloquy, Mr. Claude said:
"Master Clinton, we have also carefully inspected these two things.
Although they The workmanship is indeed amazing, but all materials are indeed ordinary materials without extraordinary properties.
In addition to these surface things, there are extremely small gaps inside them. ”
Hearing this, Master Clinton, who was conducting research with various tools, also nodded and said:
"I have also discovered this. The decoration on their appearance hides some holes and gaps that are extremely natural and harmonious.
Ordinary people may simply regard them as a kind of decoration and ignore them.
< br>But for us artists, every corner of every work of art must have a meaning.
Since this master has such exquisite skills, he obviously understands this. .
I think I have to take a closer look at their internal structure. ”
Hearing this, Mr. Claude and Mr. Cecil couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
——This master seems to have some skills!
Next, the master named Clinton used an instrument driven by magic to "capture" part of the complex structure inside the inheritance cross and magic book.
Observe the complex three-dimensional patterns captured by the instrument in front of you.
Clinton frowned slightly and said to the two elders:
"Two Earls, the internal structures of these two things are very subtle and complex.
I feel that there may be some kind of pattern in them, and I can only explore it to this extent with my methods.
< br>From this point of view, the producer may want to store or express certain information through these structures.
This information is very likely to be priceless! ”
Hearing this, everything. Mr. Xier couldn't help but said curiously:
"Isn't it possible that these internal structures were formed naturally during the building process?"
Hearing this, Master Clinton smiled and shook his head and said:
"Impossible, I have said that before I have already said:
For us artists, every corner of every work of art must have a meaning!
Why should a master with such superb skills stay? How about something so conspicuous?”
Hearing this, the two elders couldn't help but feel that the fog in front of their eyes was lifted.
Their previous guesses were confirmed by this master!
——There are huge secrets hidden in these lines or gaps!
Of course, they will not forget the purpose of their trip.
Master Claude asked:
"In the opinion of the master, what is the specific value of these two works of art?"
Clinton said:
"If you don't look at the information hidden inside, they are very valuable in the market. It's hard to sell them at a high price.
After all, they are made entirely of ordinary materials.
Although they have a certain ornamental value, that's all.
And obviously, we cannot ignore their internal structure.
In fact, their internal structure is the most important thing! ”
Speaking of this, Clinton suddenly began to pause and think.
The two elders could not help but frown slightly.
They are now a little worried that Master Clinton will give Comments like "priceless treasure" were made.
If this is the case, then their previous plan can be declared bankrupt.
However, what made them very happy was:
After thinking for a while, Master Clinton frowned slightly and said:
“The materials for making these two things are still There are no small problems.
Metals of this ordinary texture will pass over time.
Under the erosion of magic power and elements, subtle deformations can easily occur.
And their internal structures happen to be very subtle and delicate. Now I actually have some doubts that their internal structures may be different from when they were first created!
This difference may make what they contain lose value.
From this perspective, even with this kind of internal structure, their value is relatively limited! ”
After explaining this, Clinton added:
“I think the two Earls should record their internal structures as soon as possible.
Even if they are still in good condition, as time goes by.
In a year or two at most, their internal structure will change.”
After Clinton finished speaking, Mr. Cecil said with some surprise:
"In other words, these two things are not actually valuable. What is valuable is the internal structure?
After we record the internal structure, will these two things be dispensable?"
Clinton nodded and said:
“Yes, this is an obvious thing.
If their internal structure hides a big secret.
I suggest that the two earls destroy these two things after recording them.
I think that for the two Earls, although these two things are exquisitely made, they should not be able to impress you.
In contrast, keeping secrets is more important! ”
While saying this.
Master Clinton also very wisely destroyed part of the structure he had captured before on the spot.
Then he handed the magic book and inheritance cross back to the hands of the two great masters.
After accepting the two items, the atmosphere at the scene quickly became extremely harmonious!
......
"What? The two gentlemen destroyed my magic book and inheritance cross?"
The next morning, the library was stationed.
After receiving Catherine's notice, Brand walked out of the laboratory in a daze, and then came to a pavilion in the library.
After saying hello to the two elders who looked very guilty.
Brand was quickly attracted by the magic book and inheritance cross on the table.
——Their appearance has been slightly deformed!
The obvious thing is:
Their internal structures must have suffered considerable damage!
——Are the two gentlemen planning to give him money?
After such thoughts flashed through my heart.
Brand said with a "displeased" look on his face:
"Two great gentlemen, we have signed a contract.
Now that these two things of mine have become like this, you need to compensate. "
When Brand finished speaking, Mr. Claude said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, this is indeed our mistake, and we are willing to follow the contract. Make compensation. ”
Hearing this, Brand couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
——Isn’t this a little too refreshing?
Then, Brand looked puzzled.
Master Cecil took out a page of paper and handed it to Brand's hand.
After careful inspection, Brand discovered that it was an "appraisal of the value of art."
A master of art appraisal named Clinton Parisi appraised the value of his magic book and inheritance cross.
The total value is: 2000 magic gold coins!
Without waiting for Brand to speak, Mr. Cecil took out a bag with an apologetic look and said:
“The magic crystal here is worth about three thousand magic gold coins.
< br>I think we should be able to compensate for the loss of these two works of art.
As for the impact on the duel..."
"Wait!"
Brand suddenly interrupted Mr. Cecil's words.
Then he said with a puzzled look:
“Why did you find a master of art appraisal to appraise the value of these two things?
Shouldn’t it be right? Find a master blacksmith or master craftsman to calculate the cost of making them? ”
Listen to what Brand said.
Although I don’t quite understand it yet.
But the two elders have gradually developed a bad premonition in their hearts!
Immediately afterwards, Brand gently tapped the slightly deformed magic book, and then further explained:
“According to the contract, their value should be determined by the relevant The master of the field gives a judgment
As a special equipment that has an auxiliary role in combat.
Shouldn't the value be calculated from a cost perspective? "
Cost?
Just some ordinary materials...
Before the two elders could think more, Brand continued to speak righteously:< br>
“Although they are just made of ordinary materials.
But the two great masters must also be aware of the precise and complex structure inside.
To perfectly reproduce such a sophisticated and complex structure in such a narrow space.
That will definitely require the help of the top craftsmen in the Farnes Continent!
And this is the highest crystallization created by the mainland's top craftsmen using various top-notch methods and spending their efforts!
I think their value is comparable to artifacts! ”
