Section 652 Living Room
Earl Thomas's approach was obviously too exaggerated. Marquis Solius did not think he was hypocritical. Instead, he believed that Earl Thomas was the real aristocrat who knew the goods and a powerful connoisseur.
Only those who truly understand the knowledge can understand the meaning of the word "luxury". With the power of tea-drinking porcelain, Marquis Solius only uses the top-notch blue and white porcelain. The walls of this kind of tea cup are thinner than paper for a official document, which can reveal light and release a soft and whiteness. Such a complete set of tea sets can be sold for more than 140,000 gold coins on the imperial market. It is no exaggeration to describe it as "heirloom treasure".
Only nouveau riche would use vulgar gold tableware. A slightly savage nobleman would choose silver items. Although the value of gold is higher than that of silver, the appearance between the two is completely different. Silver feels noble, and gold appears to be bulky. But no matter which one is a coarse item that Marquis Solius despises. He always believed that the metal residue in his body was caused by this precious metal tableware. Without a connoisseur like Count Thomas, fine blue and white porcelain would have no market. The importance of publicity media can be reflected in this matter. Otherwise, any person could take out a set of shabby pottery and shout that the thing is worth one million gold coins.
"Oh, how beautiful this obsidian paperweight is, it's a rare treasure."
"This silken enamel filigree snuff bottle is so beautiful, and this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful way to do it."
"Oh my God, the entire table is actually the best topaz. This is simply priceless. I'm afraid no one will believe it if you say it. This kind of treasure was not put into the treasure house and collected it well, but was placed outside as an ordinary table. Marquis, you are really wasting your resources."
Earl Thomas kept exclaiming, and expressions of regret and regret appeared on his face again and again. His eyes were coveted, and greed and desire were also visible. This overly obvious approach did not arouse the disgust of Marquis Solius, but instead laughed "haha" and believed that Earl Thomas was the real expert in knowing things.
The burly Wang Hejun sat on the sofa opposite, with a gloomy face and cold eyes watching the game between Solius and Thomas.
He is also a Marquis.
However, Wang Hejun is far less rich than Solius, nor is he as shameless as Count Thomas.
More than ten minutes passed, and the talk of luxury goods between Solius and Thomas still showed no sign of ending. Wang Hejun's anger had expanded into anger. He clapped his hands hard and shouted in a loud voice like thunder: "Enough, I'm here not to listen to a free appreciation class.
Solius is an elderly man, but he does not have the masculinity that a man should have. He has thick makeup on his face, his skin is very white and delicate. Although makeup is not a woman's patent, he rarely sees men with heavy makeup in informal occasions. His nails are very long and he has put a lot of effort into maintaining them. He looked at Wang Hejun coldly, and his slender fingers squeezed out an orchid-like movement in the air, making a cold snorkeling from his nostrils.
"A vulgar person is always unaware of it. Everything has its value. You have to understand that force is not the only way to solve problems. Wisdom is the real key."
"wisdom?"
Wang Hejun is a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a typical cold army style. He stared at Marquis Soros indifferently, rubbing his fingers back and forth on his clean cheeks, and sarcastically sarcastic in his mouth: "A flattery and an old hooligan with a pervert tendency sit together, discussing his finely crafted spittoons and toilets. Is this what you call wisdom?"
This sentence immediately aroused the anger of the Earl of Thomas and the Marquis of Solius.
"Please pay attention to your words"
"It's hard to imagine that such dirty words came from a marquis? The emperor is above, which is simply an insult to the word "noble."
Earl Thomas's eyes were like a knife, and Thorus's eyes were as cold as ice. There was no longer the slightest affinity and warmth in the luxurious living room. He suddenly fell into silence, only the hostile and resentful eyes kept colliding in the air, confronting again and again.
"I don't have time here to play boring games with you."
Wang Hejun's voice was loud, not deliberately artificial, but his long-standing habit: "The guys in the Clemen family are all idiots. They can't even handle a mere civilian. I really don't know what they think? I have always had a good impression of that guy Valam before, but I didn't expect that he was not the opponent of that civilian boy. Solius, if you think I would accept the invitation and would be willing to come here and listen to the nonsense between you and Thomas for a long time, it is because I have the same perverted preference as you, then
You are wrong. I am very interested in the left side of the space announced by the Clement family. Obviously, we are not all the people. Solius, I really can't stand your behavior that is more charming than women. Thomas, your ability to say flattering words is indeed first-class, but it has no effect on me. I have to leave, and when it's still early, I should have time to make some arrangements when I go back. As for you... Stay here and play with peace of mind, I won't announce to the outside that you pull your underwear and play with each other between bolts and nuts."
Earl Thomas was stimulated by the ridicule that was almost dug into the depths of his bone marrow, and his face suddenly turned red. He clenched his fists and stared at Wang Hejun with his eyes of hatred. He was "huffing" in his nostrils, but the other party didn't care about his toughness on his appearance, and his attitude was still contemptuous and full of contempt.
"Do you want to challenge us? Or do you just don't care about the cooperation we're going to do next?"
After applying too much powder, Marquis Solius's face was so white that it was greasy, but it invisibly released a fearful coldness: "I can forgive my vulgar behavior, and I can also understand the so-called "straightforwardness". Do you want to be an enemy of us? Or do you want to challenge the entire family consortium of my subordinates?"
Wang Hejun has always been impulsive in doing things, but he is not completely brainless. Solius said this and saw the threat. Although Wang Hejun did not like Solius's style and did not bother with such pretending old nobles, he still had to consider the huge energy of Solius's consortium. He thought for a few seconds for a while, and snorted from his nostrils in anger, then stood up from the sofa and took steps towards the door.
It was a mistake to come to this place. I should have expected that there was nothing to talk to with these guys who only had money in their eyes. They often waste a whole day or even more time for some kind of messy collection.
As a soldier, what I don’t like most is procrastination.
Looking at Wang Hejun's back as he was about to leave, Marquis Solius slowly narrowed his eyes, casually said, and obviously deliberately: "If I were you, I would never have walked out of this room."
Wang Hejun was very sensitive to this sentence, and slowly turned around, staring at Solius with cold eyes.
No one who can become a marquis is a fool.
Of course, the "descendent nobles" who inherited the achievements of their fathers must not be as smart and heroic as their ancestors who earned their merits. However, their knowledge and environment can give them vision, and they have far surpassed those of ordinary people in their thinking and understanding. Although Wang Hejun's title was hereditary, he obtained the position of generals for decades. Because of this, he always disdained Earls Thomas and Marquis Solius, believing that the other party was parasites lying on the graves of his ancestors.
Solius's words obviously contain some warning and hidden meaning.
"Although it was an invitation post I sent, the invitation was not me."
Marquis Solius was very satisfied with the effect of what he said just now. He changed to a more comfortable sitting position on the sofa, with a satisfied and proud expression on his face: "You'd better wait for a few more minutes. This is my advice to you."
Wang Hejun threw his eyes full of inquisitiveness, with a little confused expression: "Tell me, who is the invitation?"
This question instantly satisfied Marquis Solius's angry mood. He wanted to look contemptuous, but he couldn't help but think of the true identity of the inviting person. So he looked down at the Prestige communicator on his wrist, and turned to Wang Hejun's eyes became a little complicated.
"He's already here, right outside the corridor."
As he said that, Solius quickly tidied up his clothes, gently dusted off the dust that did not exist on the cuffs of the clothes, walked forward a few steps, stood at a position similar to Wang Hejun, turned sideways, but looked at the tightly closed door of the room directly in front of him.
This serious atmosphere also infected Count Thomas. He almost stood with Solius. His expression was obviously too excited. He grabbed the sleeves of his clothes with both hands, and his body was even trembling slightly.
Earl Thomas knows much more about the distribution of power within the imperial aristocratic circle than Wang Hejun. What is placed on the surface is far less powerful than the hidden power in private. This practice is not surprising, even civilians. You can never tell who is the one who has a deposit of a thousand gold coins. Although many people are talking about poverty, in fact, they are the real hidden rich people.
Why did Marquis Solius invite Wang Hejun? Earl Thomas always thinks it is a question. Although he is the commander of the 174th Army of the National Defense Forces and appointed as Lieutenant General, Wang Hejun has always been famous for being rude among the nobles of the empire. Such people are not so straightforward, but they are not as brainless and do not need to think about things at all. Of course, this is just a superficial statement. Earl Thomas never thinks that a guy who can become a lieutenant general in the empire would be an idiot who does not consider other aspects at all.
The door was slowly pushed open from outside, and two tall, handsome men in dark blue uniforms strode in. Both of them were blonde hair, confident and arrogant. They both released a powerful aura, and after entering the room, they quickly stood on both sides. The movements were neat and uniform, obviously they had practiced countless times, and they were so familiar that they did not require eye or language cooperation. At first glance, it seemed like two statues carefully carved by the artist.
Wang Hejun couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
Both young men are powerful "general"-level masters. Although their overall strength is not as good as theirs, they are also very powerful characters. People like this can easily get military ranks such as colonels under their command. If they have received systematic training in the military academy, they can even become brigade generals of the empire.
Earl Thomas was also shocked.
Unlike Wang Hejun, his attention was focused on the clothes and decorations of the two young men. The blue uniforms were expensive, especially the buttons, and diamonds were inlaid with diamonds. Obviously, they were not nobles, but just the entourage of a big man. It is rare for entourages who are so young and powerful. Moreover, they looked almost the same in appearance and looked like twins. Bodyguards and servants like this were very expensive even if they were hired.
Six young and beautiful women appeared. The uniform styles on their bodies were similar to those of the two men before. Each woman had an enviable and beautiful face, and they were all amazing third-level evolutionists. Their clothes were even more expensive than the two men's. The Marquis of Count Toma's eyes almost popped out of his socket: he was shocked to see that each woman had a sapphire necklace hanging around her neck, and the brooch on her clothes was also made of crystal clear crystals.
In terms of actual functions, blue crystals and white crystals are no different, they are both pure energy crystals. However, polished crystals are an extremely profound art. Only crystals with the purest light transmission can be used as inlays on jewelry and clothes. Although these crystals have different appearances and shapes, their value will increase exponentially as long as they are artistically processed.
When a blue crystal was just obtained from a dark creature, it may be worth only hundreds of gold coins, at most thousands. After being selected by jewelry merchants, the raw stone and the cool-type "diamond crystal" are different. Because of the turbid texture, the former can only be used as high-energy energy for filling and consumption, while the latter can be artistically processed. Through sharp and complex cutting, polishing, and inlaid on precious metals, it has become an amazing expensive jewelry that is sought after by the upper class.
The blue crystal necklaces on these women are so beautiful that they are amazingly beautiful. Earl Thomas himself also has several similar necklaces in his collection. However, in terms of texture or workmanship, they cannot be compared with the top-notch goods in front of him.
The emperor was above, and this was just a decoration used on the maid. Earl Thomas could not imagine what noble status would be if they were their masters? What kind of terrible power would they have?
He instinctively lowered his head, and his body trembled more and more. On the one hand, it was fear, and on the other hand, it was excitement. In the face of money, this was almost everyone's potential instinct.
An elderly man in black pushed a wheelchair and slowly entered the room.
A luxuriously dressed old man sat in a wheelchair. His face was very old, his wrinkles were deep, and his old appearance made him look quite thin. His snow-white hair was meticulously combed, and he looked very dignified.
Seeing this old man, he was unruly! The Marquis King He Jun couldn't help but lower his body and acted humbly.
This is one of the most powerful nobles in the human empire.
He should be the "inviter" as Marquis Solius called. Wang Hejun could disdain for a wealth-keeping slave like Solius, or he could unscrupulously mock the flatterer like Earl Thomas. However, in front of Duke Marvin, Wang Hejun had to lower his posture. That was a mountain that he had to look up to, neither power nor wealth, could be imagined.
Thinking of this, Wang Hejun couldn't help but turn his body halfway and glance at Solius and Thomas standing opposite him.
Originally, I thought that this was just a battle between two marquises and one count for the space field. Now it seems that the information released by the Clement family is far more important than imagined. Even aristocrats like Duke Marvin, who have a transcendent status, have to participate.
The wheelchair was pushed directly to the main seat of the living room. Marquis Solius didn't mind that his master was lined up next to him. The old man in black, standing behind the wheelchair, glanced with his eyes over the male waiter and female waiter who had entered the room before. The team of handsome men and beautiful women immediately turned around, walked out of the room with neat and light steps, and closed the door.
"I don't have any rules to punish others at will."
Duke Ma Wen waved his hand casually with a faint smile on his face: "This is just our private party, there is no need to be so serious."
Having said that, the three people, including Wang Hejun, dared not do it at will. Duke Ma Wen's power is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Wang Hejun even felt a little secretly regretful. If he knew that the person who was the real invitation to this party was Duke Ma Wen, he would not have said the previous sarcastic words. After all, he could ignore Solius and Thomas, but he would never dare to disobey the old duke in the wheelchair in front of him.
