Chapter 4 (2/2)
Abe selected six rubies of the same color and size from the box and asked, ”Mr. Tim, how many gold coins are these?”
”Give me six gold coins, master Abel.”
There was not too much counter-offer. Abel knew that this kind of shop opened by the merchants in this town would not charge indiscriminately to his own people or to the lineage of a knight family. So he took six gold coins out of his arms and handed them to Tim.
Tim took the gold coins with both hands, found a cloth bag to help Abel put six rubies in, and then respectfully sent Abel out of the shop.
After leaving the Libao business, Abel found a deserted alley, took three rubies out of the bag, clicked them with his fingers, and put them into the heradique square. He recited the composition formula again in his heart. Three of the same stones were combined into a higher-level gem. If there is no mistake, after clicking the composition button, the three gems should disappear. What he got is that A big ruby.
Suppress the mood, fingers at the synthesis button at the bottom of the 12 squares in front of you, 3 rubies emit a white light and disappear, and a large circle of rubies appears in the top lattice of the heradique square, take the rubies out of the heradique square, and put them in the sun to have a closer look. It's a beautiful gem. Every side is perfect The ground reflects the light of the sun, sending out a pure light, crystal clear red, shining under the sun.
The size and quality of this ruby are higher than the three rubies just now. Although we don't know its value, Abel believes that its value is far more than three gold coins.
Then the second ruby was also synthesized. Put two rubies in a cloth bag and think about where to sell them. I'm sure I can't go to Libao business. I just bought six Rubies from there and then I went there to sell two better rubies in a while. The fool knows there's a problem.After walking on the street of the town for a while, I saw an auction house in front of me. This is Edmund's auction house. Looking at the sign, Abe found its relevant information from memory. Edmond auction house is the largest auction house in the principality. Basically, there are Edmond auction houses in every town of the Principality of Carmel. The 500 year history is the credibility guarantee of Edmond auction house. Every year, the Edmond auction house where the country is located auctions some rare treasures, attracting the pursuit of the noble and rich in the Principality of Carmel and its surrounding principality.
”Welcome to Edmund's, can I help you?” A beautiful girl with a standard oval face wearing a gorgeous dress made of silk from the East, with long blonde hair, clear eyes, no impurities, white skin, no flaws, very soft and beautiful voice, gave Abel a midday greeting.
”Beautiful lady, I want to find someone to identify the gem.” And he also gave a salute at noon, and Abel returned.
From this etiquette, we can see the strength of Edmund's auction house. It's the standard for nobles to use the right etiquette when it's right. Those who can use this etiquette proficiently, at least, have learned the noble etiquette courses. These courses are not what they want to learn. No one can teach you these without corresponding identity.
”Just call me Yvette, young and handsome gentleman. I'm the director here. Let's talk upstairs.” When Yvette saw Abel come in, she knew that this was a person of status, so she did not let others participate in the reception, but herself.
In the reception hall on the second floor, after they sat down, a waiter served two cups of coffee. Abel, who had been walking for a long time, couldn't help but pick up the coffee and take a sip of it gently. Although he couldn't tell where the coffee was made, he still knew the quality of the coffee. The family's economy was not good, and he hadn't had such a good coffee for a long time.
Yvette looked at the young man in front of him, who could be said to be a boy. The respect he gave to the noble was not his age. The words that the nobles often said were the service tenet of the auction house.
Abel took out the cloth bag from his arms, took out a ruby from it and handed it to Yvette. He asked, ”Ms. Yvette, please look at the value of this gem.”
After receiving the gem, Yvette carefully looked at the interior of the gem in the light. After a few minutes, she raised her head and said excitedly, ”the perfect cutting, the perfect structure, without any flaws, and the light is transparent. Do you take this ruby? I'll give you a maximum price of 300 gold coins. ”
