Great Nobleman

Early the next morning.

The library resident welcomed the visits of Claude and Chesil.

Because he was busy designing and drawing the rune circle for Catherine's shield, Brand hadn't planned to meet the two elders.

Anyway, the two elders just wanted to see the two "artifacts" they were talking about.

Just let Catherine show them.

But in the end, Catherine found Brand with a frustrated expression, saying that she had not been able to complete the task assigned by Brand.

After reaching out to touch the head to show comfort.

Brand paused the shield's research design.

Led by Catherine, he found the two elders who were resting and chatting in a gazebo where the library was located.

Seeing Brand's arrival, the two Elders showed suspicious eyes.

After Brand approached, Master Claude took the lead in attacking:

"Brand!

Dueling is a sacred thing, and fairness is an important prerequisite for it!

If you use an artifact that violates fairness in a duel, even if you win in the end, it will be a shameful victory! "

Hearing this, Brand calmly spread his hands and said:

"As an outstanding noble descendant of the Kaya Empire, I am of course willing to maintain the fairness of duels.

However, I will not accept groundless accusations. "

After responding in this way, Brand turned the topic back to the business:

"I heard that the two elders have doubts about the content of the contract?"

Hearing this, Master Chesil nodded with displeasure, then pointed to the contract on the table and said:

"Let's just check your two things, and you have given so many restrictions.

This will seriously affect our comprehensive and detailed inspection of the two illegal items.

And if not comprehensive and detailed inspection.

Then we can't be sure that what follows will be a fair duel.

Presumably you are also very clear by now that the "informed people" outside think that even if they are not divine artifacts, they are not much worse than divine artifacts!

In such cases, it is necessary for us to strictly check them. "

Immediately afterwards, Master Claude also added with a bad expression:

"Based on what you're doing now, we've confirmed that there are problems with those two things!

The reason why you made such a move is probably to cover up their magic, right? "

Regarding the judgment of the two elders, Brand was quite speechless.

The reason for making them sign the deed before inspecting two things.

That's because it doesn't matter whether it is the "magic book" or the "inheritance cross".

The model structure inside is very subtle and delicate.

——When practicing building rune circles out of thin air on weekdays, a slight mistake may destroy their internal model structure.

Although for Brand, it only takes a little mental power to realize them.

The specific value is about the same as a bottle of refreshing potion.

But this is not the case for other people in Farnese Continent.

Such a delicate structure.

It is not an exaggeration to call it the work of a top art master!

Such a "precious thing"!

Brand would not let the two elders study at will.

After thinking briefly, Brand said:

"I must specifically state that:

Both the magic book and the inheritance cross are very fragile.

Those restrictions in the contract are not to prevent the two elders from conducting inspection and research, but to protect them from damage.

Besides being expensive, I'm going to use them in duels.

If it is damaged, it will affect my duel with Lord Holland.

Of course, if the two elders really have doubts about the various restrictions of the contract, it is not impossible to remove those restrictions.

But then I would add a contract 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 elders must also make compensation for this. "

Hearing Brand's calm words.

After thinking for a while, Master Claude said with a questioning face:

"If it is really broken by us, compensation is of course due.

But you don't have any conspiracy waiting for us, do you?

For example, you set traps on these two things, and if we touch them, they will break or something? "

Brand shrugged and said:

"If the two elders have such concerns, it doesn't matter if these details are written into the contract."

After taking a deep look at Brand.

The two elders ran aside and used the sound-proof barrier to block Brand's perception, and then began to discuss.

Didn't make Brand wait long.

Soon, they lifted the barrier.

Lord Claude then handed over a drafted new contract to Brand.

The content of the contract is similar to what Brand said before.

Although there are no various research restrictions, but the terms of compensation have been added.

In addition, many restrictions on Brand were added to the contract.

One sentence summary:

The things handed over to them must be intact, and there must be no traps that will cause damage to the items.

After reading it, Brand casually signed his name.

Wait for the two elders to sign.

Brand took the inheritance cross and magic book from Catherine.

After a simple inspection and confirmation that it is intact.

He handed it over to the two elders.

After that, I didn't chat with the two elders much.

Brand bid farewell to him smartly, and then went back to continue designing the rune circle for Catherine's shield research.

On the other side, after watching Brand walk away.

The two elders, Claude and Cheshire, couldn't wait to study these two suspected "artifacts".

And the more they studied, the more they frowned.

First of all, the workmanship of the various decorations on the surface of these two things is extremely extraordinary.

Every gem and every pattern on it is completely natural.

There is no trace of artificial or magic at all.

From this point of view, it is not impossible to say that they are of extraordinary value.

but!

These decorations are all flashy, without any supernatural properties!

Apart from these decorations, the body of these two things is a kind of metal.

Although they have not seen this metal before, they can tell after a simple inspection:

This metal does not have any supernatural properties.

The only thing to say about them is that they are special:

It is probably because there are extremely dense and fine "textures" or "gaps" inside these two things.

——Maybe this is the "unique trace" left by a special manufacturing method?

A while of research and simple discussion.

The two elders finally borrowed the empty video screen in the library and sent a communication request to the other elders.

After everyone arrived, the two elders began to describe in detail the conversation with Brand today.

Immediately afterwards, they talked about the research results on the magic book and the inheritance cross.

One sentence summary:

A work of art devoid of any otherworldly qualities!
