Big Capitalist

Chapter 734 Blue and White Porcelain

In the Earldom of Rio, within a few days, like a magic spell, the scene around the Oberon ruins was completely changed.

The area near the entrance to the Oberon ruins has been completely excavated, and the thick stone slabs seem like pages of time, echoing the ancient ruins outside.

The groups of "Terracotta Warriors" pits, with their mysterious atmosphere, are like sleeping legions, quietly telling stories of the past.

This place has become the most popular tourist destination in the entire Earldom.

Around the ruins, shops have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

The sign of Mixue Time flickers in the sun, and a variety of sweet drinks are sold there; Elf Tea is filled with a magical tea aroma, as if it can bring people into the dream world of elves; Juewei exudes an alluring fragrance that makes people salivate.

After all, it is a scenic spot, so the prices are naturally higher than those outside, but most of the tourists coming here are from wealthy families and do not care about this small price difference.

Many scholars in long robes and glasses are gathered in front of a stone slab with Chinese characters written on it, their eyes full of desire and persistence for knowledge.

They held all kinds of strange tools in their hands, sometimes gently touching the stone slabs, sometimes quickly recording on the notebooks, trying to dig out the deeper secrets of the Oberon civilization from these ancient texts.

At the entrance of the Oberon ruins, there was another lively scene.

Colorful tents are set up in an orderly manner. They are the bases for mercenaries and adventure groups from all over the world.

Exploring the remains of the Oberon civilization has recently become the most popular challenge for adventurers across the entire Azer continent. Although many days have passed, apart from some minor discoveries, there has not been any major breakthrough.

On this day, the entrance to the ruins suddenly made a dull roar and slowly opened.

The mercenaries and mages guarding the door suddenly became alert and started whispering to each other.

"Hey, the entrance is open again. I wonder which unlucky guy has returned empty-handed again." A burly warrior grinned.

"Never mind. It's always like this. It's easy to get in but hard to get out." The wizard at the side shrugged, looking helpless.

Before he finished speaking, a large group of short, green-skinned, pointy-eared goblins rushed out from the entrance of the ruins, carrying stretchers and running out in a hurry.

On the stretchers lay many badly injured mercenaries and adventure team members, and the stretchers were stained red with blood.

When this group of goblins came out, Shirley, the great goblin mentor and goblin holy light guide, came over quickly with a team of goblins covered in holy light, in neat steps.

Shirley, tall and slender, stood out among the goblins. Brandishing a jeweled staff, she announced, "Everyone, you've purchased mid-level insurance, which entitles you to free healing potions, elixirs, and the goblin priest's basic treatment services. These are all free of charge. However, some of you are seriously injured, with broken arms and legs, and require higher-level treatment, which will incur an additional charge."

The mercenaries with broken arms and legs howled in pain and started shouting.

"I should have bought premium insurance earlier. Now I'm going to have to pay a huge price!"

"Stop talking nonsense and treat us quickly. It hurts so much!"

At this time, the leading team leader looked at the injured team members and sighed helplessly.

Then, he carefully pulled out a blue and white porcelain vase from his bosom, his eyes revealing a hint of anticipation. "Luckily, we gained something from entering the Oberon ruins this time. We actually got a treasure. I wonder how much it's worth, and whether it can make up for our losses."

"Boss, why don't we give up?" a beautiful young fox girl sighed softly. "We have explored several times, and each time we were injured, we spent so many gold coins, but didn't get any substantial benefits. This time we got a broken bottle, and this thing doesn't have any magic fluctuations. How much can it be worth? We have spent nearly ten thousand gold coins."

"Yeah, if there weren't goblin insurance services here like in the World of Warcraft Mountains, we might have died in there a long time ago! It's too dangerous." Another team member echoed with lingering fear.

The leader of the mercenary group sighed again and said slowly: "Okay, let's sell this bottle and leave. This is not a place we can explore."

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "The appraiser from the Merlin Chamber of Commerce is here!"

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw Fate, dressed in luxurious aristocratic clothes, walking towards them with Lucy, the hottest star recently.

Fate was wearing a gorgeous purple robe embroidered with golden runes and a jewel-studded belt around his waist. His every move revealed his aristocratic temperament.

Lucy was wearing a white dress, like a fairy descending to earth. Every step she took seemed to be shining, attracting everyone's attention.

When the people around saw Lucy, they immediately became excited.

"Wow, isn't that Lucy, the main character of the TV series Duel King? She's the goddess in the eyes of Arena of Valor players!"

“I didn’t expect to see her here. I’m so lucky!”

Fate and Lucy now have new identities. They are Agatha and Michelle's "closed disciples", experts in the research of Oberon civilization, and chief appraisers hired by the Merlin Chamber of Commerce.

When the captain saw Fate and Lucy approaching, he quickly stepped forward and greeted them somewhat stiffly, "Masters, could you please help me see how much this item is worth?"

As he spoke, he respectfully handed over the blue and white porcelain vase in his hand.

Lucy gracefully took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed every detail of the blue and white porcelain vase.

Fate took the blue and white porcelain vase and examined the mouth, body and bottom of the vase repeatedly, with irrepressible excitement gradually revealing in his eyes.

Suddenly, Fate shouted, "Incredible! This is amazing, this is so beautiful! This is the finest blue and white porcelain vase of the Oberon civilization, which is only used by the royal family! Look at the blue and white on it, the brushstrokes are delicate, the colors are elegant, and the lines are smooth. It seems like the perfect combination of nature and art. This is simply an unparalleled work of art!"

Lucy nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Fate is absolutely right. The craftsmanship of this blue and white porcelain vase is so exquisite that it is considered unique among the porcelains of the Oberon civilization."

The leader couldn't wait to ask, "How much is this thing worth?"

The mercenaries and adventure groups around also gathered together and listened attentively.

Fate held up two fingers and said firmly, "This thing is worth at least 200,000 gold coins. Our Merlin Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy it back for 200,000 gold coins!"
