Great Nobleman

The two elders are here.

After arriving at the residence of the Romien Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital, he explained the situation.

Soon someone took the two of them to visit the Master of Art Appreciation who was familiar with the Romien Chamber of Commerce.

—a master named Clinton Parisi!

I heard that it was two imperial counts who were visiting.

The master greeted him warmly.

After a while of courtesy, the two elders also explained the purpose of "asking the master to appraise the two works of art".

After Master Clinton expressed his willingness to oblige.

The two elders first took out a contract.

The entry above states:

without permission.

No information related to the two works of art can be disclosed to anyone.

Seeing a contract with such content, Clinton quickly realized that these two "artworks" might not be pure.

After carefully examining the contents of the contract, Clinton signed his name casually.

After that, the two great masters handed over the magic book and the inheritance cross to the master.

At first, the master's expression was relatively calm.

And after taking out various unique tools and carefully observing these two things.

He gradually became a little shocked:

"It's natural! There are no traces of man-made or magic!

As far as I know, there is no master in the Kaya Empire with such skills! "

Having said that, as the research gradually deepened.

He gradually became a little puzzled and said:

"Although the gems and decorations on it are bright and gorgeous, 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 a little disappointed and said:

"They're made entirely out of cheap, common materials!

Is it because of poverty?

But since he has such superb skills, he wouldn't worry about mere money, would he?

Isn't this material too stingy! "

Listening to the master's soliloquy, Master Claude said:

"Master Clinton, we've also scrutinized those two things.

Although their workmanship is indeed amazing, all materials are indeed ordinary materials without extraordinary properties.

In addition to these superficial things, there are extremely tiny 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 of their appearance hides some extremely natural and harmonious holes and gaps.

Ordinary people may simply regard them as a decoration and ignore them.

But for us artists, every corner of every piece of art must have a meaning of existence.

Since this master has such exquisite skills, it is obvious that he cannot fail to understand this.

I guess I'll have to take a good look at the exact structure inside them. "

Hearing this, the eyes of Claude and Sir Chesil couldn't help but brighten.

——This master seems to have a little ability!

Next, the master named Clinton used an instrument powered by magic power to "capture" part of the complex structure inside the heritage cross and magic book.

Observe the complex three-dimensional pattern captured by the instrument in front of you.

Clinton frowned slightly and said to the two elders:

"My lords, the internal structures of these two things are very subtle and complicated.

I feel that there may be some kind of law in them, which can only be explored to this extent with my means.

From this point of view, the creator may want to store or express certain information through these structures.

This information is very likely to be invaluable! "

Hearing this, Master Chesil couldn't help but curiously said:

"Isn't it possible that these internal structures were formed naturally during the construction process?"

Hearing this, Master Clinton shook his head with a smile and said:

"Impossible, I've said it before:

For us artists, every corner of every piece of art must have a meaning of existence!

And a master with such superb skills, why did he leave such a conspicuous thing behind? "

Hearing this, the two elders couldn't help feeling that the fog in front of them had been lifted.

Their previous guess was confirmed by this master!

——There are huge secrets hidden in these lines or crevices!

Of course, they will not forget the purpose of this trip.

Lord Claude asked:

"In the master's opinion, what is the specific value of these two works of art?"

Clinton said:

"It's very difficult for them to fetch high prices in the market if you don't look at the information hidden inside.

After all, they are entirely made of ordinary materials.

Although it has a certain ornamental value, it is nothing more than that.

And obviously, we cannot ignore their internal structure.

Even, the structure inside them is the most important thing! "

Having said this, Clinton suddenly began to pause and think.

The two elders couldn't help frowning slightly.

They are now a little worried that the Clinton master will give a "priceless treasure" and other evaluations.

If this is the case, then their previous plan can be declared bankrupt.

However, what makes them very happy is that:

After thinking for a while, Master Clinton frowned slightly and said:

"There's still a big problem with the materials to make those two things.

Metal like this ordinary texture, with the passage of time.

Under the scouring of magic power and elements, subtle deformations can easily occur.

And their internal structure happens to be very subtle and delicate.

I actually have some doubts about the structures inside them, maybe they are different from when they were just built!

This difference may make what they contain worthless.

From this point of view, 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 it is still very intact at present, as time goes by.

At most one or two years, their internal structure will change. "

After Clinton finished speaking, Master Chesil was a little surprised and said:

"In other words, these two things are not worth much, what is valuable is the internal structure?

After we record the internal structure, are these two things optional? "

Clinton nodded and said:

"Yes, that's the obvious thing.

If their inner structure holds a big secret.

I suggest that the two Earls destroy these two things after recording them.

I think for the two Earls, although these two things are exquisitely crafted, they should not catch your eyes.

In contrast, keeping a secret is a more important thing! "

While saying so.

The Clinton master also sensibly destroyed part of the previously captured structures on the spot.

Then he handed the magic book and inheritance cross back to the hands of the two elders.

After accepting the two items, the atmosphere quickly became extremely harmonious!

...

"What? The two elders broke my magic book and inheritance cross?"

The next morning, the library is resident.

After receiving the notification from Catherine, Brand walked out of the laboratory in a daze, and then came to a gazebo where the library was located.

After greeting the two old masters 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 things are:

Their internal structures must have been damaged a lot!

——Are the two elders planning to give him money?

After such a thought flashed in my heart.

Brand said with an "displeasure" face:

"You two elders, we have signed a contract.

These two things of mine have become like this now, you need compensation. "

When Brand's voice fell, Master Claude said apologetically:

"Sorry, this is indeed our mistake, and we are willing to make compensation according to the contract."

Hearing this, Brand couldn't help but frowned slightly.

——Is this a little too refreshing?

Immediately afterwards, in Brand's puzzled look.

Lord Chesil took out a page of paper and handed it to Brand.

After careful inspection, Brand found that it was a "Certificate of Appraisal of Artwork Value".

A master art appraiser 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, Master Chesil took out a bag with an apologetic face and said:

"The magic crystal here is worth about 3,000 magic gold coins.

I think it 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 Master Chesil's words.

Then he said with a puzzled face:

"Why did you find a master of art appraisal to appraise the value of these two things?

Shouldn't a master blacksmith or a master craftsman figure out how much they cost to craft? "

Listen to what Brand said.

Although I still don't quite understand it.

But a bad premonition has gradually formed in the hearts of the two elders!

Immediately afterwards, Brand tapped on the slightly deformed magic book, and then further explained:

"According to the contract, their value should be judged by a master in the relevant field.

As a special equipment that has an auxiliary role in battle.

Shouldn't the value be calculated from the perspective of cost and price? "

cost?

Just some common materials,...

Without waiting for the two masters to think about it, Brand continued to say solemnly:

"Although they are only made of ordinary materials.

But the intricate structure inside, presumably the two masters should also be clear.

But to perfectly reproduce such a sophisticated and complex structure in such a narrow space.

That must require the top craftsmen of the Farnese Continent to do it!

And this is the highest crystallization created by the top craftsmen in the mainland using various top methods and painstaking efforts!

I think they are worth enough to be comparable to artifacts! "
