God Blood Warrior - Chapter 423

[Chapter 422 The City of Gems]

The team from the Purple Moon Kingdom to the Gem Kingdom, the blood beasts used to pull the cart, even the lowest level blood beasts are barbaric blood beasts, and the speed of the road is naturally extremely fast.

In just three days, the Ziyue Kingdom team had already left the Ziyue Kingdom, passed the defense line of the Border Gem Kingdom, and entered the territory of the Gem Kingdom.

The Gem Kingdom is a mountainous kingdom, and there is not much arable land. Almost every year, it buys food from the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Crimson Kingdom.

However, it is precisely because of this mountainous terrain that this kingdom is rich in gems and extremely rich. If there is a kingdom among the three kingdoms of Ziyue, Crimson, and Gems that is richer, it must be the Gem Kingdom.

A large number of precious gems that can be used as materials for rune items make the wealth of this kingdom extremely amazing, and its wealth ranks first among the three kingdoms.

After another three days in the Gem Kingdom, the team from the Purple Moon Kingdom arrived at the Gem King Capital.

This is a huge city with a hexagonal shape. The city walls and even many other places are inlaid with gems. From a distance, it looks like a huge colorful gem.

“Welcome everyone from the Purple Moon Kingdom!”

Under the warm welcome of the Gem Kingdom, Gray and his party entered the palace and met the current king of the Gem Kingdom, Oroko Austin.

This is a majestic man, wearing a jeweled crown, wearing a gold robe inlaid with jewels, and holding a jeweled scepter.

Judging from his age, this should be a middle-aged man, but in fact, His Majesty the King of the Gem Kingdom is now in his early 60s. The reason why he is so young must have something to do with his strength.

If nothing else, he should be a king-level powerhouse just like the king of Ziyue Kingdom.

Being able to become a king of a country means that the potential of the other party ranks first among the peers of the royal family. Coupled with the terrifying and almost endless supply of precious resources of the royal family, for ordinary families to become king-level powerhouses It’s hard, but not too hard for someone like them.

Behind the King of the Gem Kingdom, a little further behind, there are two men and one woman in total. One of the men should be over 30 years old, while the woman and the other man are slightly younger and should be in their early 20s. .

“That’s the jewel queen Greenway Austin!”

Saroyan introduced Gray in a low voice.

Gray looked at this woman. She was a tall and beautiful woman with long legs. Under the long skirt that just reached her knees, she looked extremely slender and graceful.

The woman has long black hair, extremely delicate skin, full of crystal luster like a gem, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, and extremely delicate facial features.

There is a red diamond-shaped gem between the eyebrows, which makes people’s eyes fall on her smooth jade-like forehead.

After a brief meeting between the two parties, Gray and the others were arranged to live in one of the courtyards of the Jewel King’s Palace.

From the mouth of the Gem Kingdom, I learned that the people of the Crimson Kingdom have arrived one step ahead of them. Tonight, the Royal Family of the Gem King will hold a grand banquet for the visit of the two countries.

It was still noon, and after lunch, Francis came with Sophia when Gray was thinking about how to arrange the time.

“Don’t you want to bet on stones under your knowledge? Let’s go!”

Francis smiled slightly.

Taking the carriage provided by the royal family of the Jewel King, the three of Gray left the palace and appeared on the streets of the Jewel Kingdom.

The street is wide enough for four carriages to pass through. The shops on both sides of the street are extremely busy, and people can be seen entering and leaving from time to time.

Among these shops, you can often see shops with a lot of stones in the shops, which are gambling stone shops.

Apparently, as described in the books that Gray once read, in the Kingdom of Gems, stone gambling is very common.

The carriage finally stopped in front of a three-story building, which was also a stone gambling hall, but the size was bigger than what was seen before.

The three of Gray got off the carriage and entered the stone gambling hall.

In the huge space, it is extremely lively, and there are many people. From the perspective of clothing, they are all rich or expensive.

These people passed one stone platform after another, checked the original stone placed on the stone platform, sometimes nodded, and immediately paid for it, sometimes they shook their heads and walked to other stone platforms.

In some places, there was a group of people around, and it seemed that someone was dissolving stones at the scene, which aroused the onlookers of these people.

“It’s up, it’s up!”

Not far away, a group of people suddenly exclaimed, as if they had cut out something good.

The three of Gray walked over, squeezed into the crowd with their strength, entered the innermost, and saw a stone about the size of a winter melon in front of them, which was slowly being cut open, revealing a pink color.

“I made it, I definitely made it. Only three gold coins cut out a pink gemstone. It must be a big profit!”

“I’m so lucky, I actually cut out the top rune material pink gem!”

Many people are talking about it, and next to this stone, a young man is full of excitement, nervously watching the master of the stone.

Finally, a pink gem about the size of an adult fist appeared in front of everyone, and was held in the hands of the young man with extreme care.

“Such a big piece, I’m afraid it will be worth more than 1,000 gold coins!”

“I will pay 1,000 gold coins to sell this mahogany stone to me!”

“I give 1100 gold coins.”

“1200 gold coins.”

In the end, this pink gem was bought by a middle-aged man in well-dressed clothes, and all the people surrounding it dispersed.

“Would you like to try it?”

Francis asked with a smile.

“Okay, let’s see who has better luck.”

Sophia smiled slightly, interested.

Gray is naturally very interested. Of course, this interest is not to make a lot of money, but just to enjoy the process of gambling stones. After all, with his current net worth, even if he cuts out the most precious gems, it is difficult for him to make a fortune. Mood fluctuates too much.

In the end, the three of them chose a piece of rough stone and asked the calcinator to calcine it on the spot. Gray and Francis did not cut out anything, but Sophia cut a small piece of green wood the size of a ping-pong ball, which was probably worth a tael or two. One hundred gold coins, the mood is very good.

“His Royal Highness Francis, His Highness Sophia, I went to find you before and found that you were not there, so you are here!”

Following the voice, several young men and women came, headed by a young man with red hair.

The young man is very temperamental, with red hair, as if a flame is burning, extremely dazzling.

Under the flaming hair, there were a pair of sword eyebrows, the eyebrows were like swords, which added a bit of masculinity to his excessively handsome appearance.

“His Royal Highness, why are you here?”

Seeing the person coming, Francis nodded slightly unexpectedly.

“Come in with your mates and see.”

Liles Crimson explained with a smile, and then looked at Sophia.

“His Royal Highness Sophia, long time no see!”

“His Royal Highness Riles!”

Sophia nodded to greet each other.

“Who is this one?”

Liles Crimson looked at Gray next to Francis and Sophia and asked.

“This is Gray Fergus, a friend of ours.”

Francis introduced the two sides.

“Grey, this is His Royal Highness Riles from the Crimson Kingdom!”

Gray nodded and greeted the other party. For some reason, Gray faintly noticed that the other party seemed to have some hostility towards him after knowing his name.

This made him quite strange. It stands to reason that he and the other party met for the first time today, and they had never had any intersection before. The other party should not be hostile to him.

Gray almost thought that he felt wrong, but in fact he did not feel wrong, because the two sides converged, everyone chose a rough stone, and when they were about to try their luck, the other party found him.

“Do you want to gamble with me, Your Excellency Gray?”

Riles Austin’s handsome face and dazzling red hair attracted the eyes of many young women in the hall. He looked at Gray and smiled slightly.

“No.”

Gray glanced at Riles Crimson and refused.

It seems that the other party does have some hostility towards him, but I don’t know why the other party’s hostility arises.

“It’s just a gamble at will, and it’s okay not to gamble.”

Riles Crimson’s smile did not change.

“No, if His Royal Highness Riles is interested, you might as well take a gamble with others.”

Gray still refused.

Not to mention that he doesn’t know anything about gambling stones, even if he has a lot of research on gambling stones, he will not agree. The best way to deal with this kind of inexplicable provocation is to ignore it.

Seeing Gray’s rejection twice in a row, the young people who followed Liles Crimson couldn’t help frowning, and their gazes towards Gray were all cold.

One of the fair-skinned young men spoke with dissatisfaction in his voice.

“What do you mean, His Royal Highness Riles sent you an invitation, but you didn’t agree. Are you looking down on His Royal Highness Riles?”

“If you don’t agree to the invitation to gamble, you look down on it. Is your logic a little abnormal?”

Gray also couldn’t help but look slightly cold, and inexplicably became hostile to himself. Although the other party was a prince, he was really not afraid.

This is the gem kingdom, not the crimson kingdom controlled by the other party, and definitely not the place where the other party can act recklessly.

Moreover, as a nobleman of Ziyue Kingdom, he is not under the jurisdiction of the other party, and it is impossible for the other party to go to the territory of Ziyue Kingdom to attack him. Naturally, he has nothing to fear.

“Okay, it’s just the first time I met, and I’m quite interested in Lord Gray. Since Lord Gray doesn’t want to gamble on stones, that’s fine!”

There was a flash of coldness in the depths of Riles Austin’s eyes, but his expression remained unchanged, and he waved his hand to stop the dispute.

“His Royal Highness Riles wants to bet on stones, right? Then let me accompany you!”

Francis also issued a timely invitation to resolve the tension between the two sides.
