Chapter 18 Prince Poet (9)
"Your Majesty, I really don't know whether you are using Tesosomok or Tesosomok!"
On the way back from the court, Amy complained to Ella.
"From the new ceremony, to the invitation of Tratoani from all over the world, to the asking His Majesty to show his force at the ceremony, to the current football game, I feel that His Majesty has been completely led by him. Is this really good?"
"I don't know what happened in Aztlan. It's a good thing he can be so proactive," Ella replied. "After all, I'm proactive in supporting him to gain more power."
——After obtaining the prescription to treat the savage, the magic circle has its place. With the magic circle, it is no longer a problem to defeat a thousand warriors at the ceremony. Ella feels at ease.
"Instead of complaining about this, Amy, please think about it for me, what prizes are to be awarded to the winning team?"
"Hey? Just the green glazed ball is fine? Those Aztlans like it very much."
"But even the winning teams are prisoners of war. Isn't it not appropriate to use such precious things?"
"Then just send some other inventory on the ship casually? Iron tools, Toga, etc."
"Torga has been sold out. And it will be unhappy to send it to prisoners of war. The group of priests who bought it will be unhappy. It is even more inappropriate to send iron tools to prisoners of war. The regular army of Osomarit has not equipped this yet. What's more, treating some things as a prize for the team's winning... it always feels strange."
Amy yawned: "Then your majesty should make your own decision. Anyway, you can make a lot of money by transporting the peppers back and selling them. It doesn't matter if you only have a dozen people, so it doesn't matter if you give some expensive prizes."
"I am now thinking of copying the free maid on the bow like a stonemaid." Ella thought with her chin, "They would have been sacrificed, but they were free. It is quite appropriate to use this free maid as a memorial."
"Wait a minute! Your Majesty...you...ah...ah...ah..."
Amy choked by Ella's words.
"I'll go to the street immediately to see if there are any suitable prizes... Your Majesty, don't make your own decisions!"
In the next few days, Amy began to look for prizes. During this period, Ella was not sure what she was thinking and kept staring at the Freemaid statue on the ship without any effort. The more she stared at the Freemaid statue, Amy became more panicked. In order to find a prize that satisfies Ella more than the Freemaid statue, she sent out all her personal guards and members of the entire staff.
So, the local residents saw this scene - a hundred pirates were monitoring important intersections from morning to night for twenty-four hours. Whenever a merchant passed by, they rushed up like robbers to suppress the merchants, forcibly unload the goods, and after reading the content, they loaded them back, and then waved their hands to send the confused merchants away. Every half an hour, a group of pirates carrying axes patrols every half an hour, asking around for new merchants. When the found merchants trembled and handed over the cocoa beans as protection fees, the group of pirates shook their heads and left, which made people completely confused.
A few days later, Amy found Ella on the deck staring at the free maid like she was looking at.
"Amy, I suddenly had a whim. Can I transform this free maid into a more powerful weapon..."
"Stop looking at this statue!" Amy shouted, "Look at this, is it suitable for a prize?"
Amy was holding a sun-shaped medal in his hand, but it was not iron or gold that created the medal. Its material was shiny, like a black gem.
Ella took the medal from Amy. In addition to the part that imitated the sun rays, the entire medal was surprisingly smooth and could feel a hint of coolness when held in her hand.
"With this gem? Wouldn't it be a bit too expensive?"
"Your Majesty see what this is," said Amy. "This is not a gem, but an ordinary stone."
"Stone? Pebbles? But pebbles cannot be of this shape?"
"This is what we discovered this morning from a stonemason who came to the market. This stone is a work carved by the stonemason."
"Artificially carved? So smooth?"
"The stonemason still has a lot on his hands. Your Majesty, come and take a look with me!"
Amy pulled Ella down the flying Zelan. The stonemason had been taken under the boat by the pirates. He looked very ordinary, carrying a bag on his back and a small wooden tool box on his hand, looking at Ella nervously.
Ella asked with the medal, "Did you carve this thing?"
The stonemason nodded.
"Use stones?"
The stonemason nodded again.
"How did you do it?"
"This..." The stonemason began to hesitate, "It takes a lot of effort. As for the method, this..."
"I know this is a trade secret." Amy handed a green glass bead to the stonemason, "How much is this price?"
The stonemason's eyes shone, snatched the glass beads and stuffed them into his pocket. Then, he searched for the wooden toolbox he carried with him for a while, and took out a piece of dirty paper.
"It's this, I use this to polish the stone..."
Ella took the piece of paper and felt a strange roughness as soon as she touched it. When she turned over, she saw that there were many sands on the back, and she couldn't help but ask, "Huh? How did these sand stick to the paper?"
"We have a tree called rubber tree here, which can stick sand with its juice."
"Can the sand be used to grind stones? And it's so smooth?"
"It's OK," replied the stonemason, "but it takes a lot of time, a lot of..."
"I asked the locals that even in Aztland, this kind of technology is very rare." Amy whispered, "Using this stone medal as a prize will not lose your majesty's face, nor will it make the local nobles feel unhappy..."
But Ella's interest had been completely hooked onto the small piece of paper.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This thing can polish stones, can it also polish iron and bronze ware? No, it is certainly possible. Whetstone can polish iron ware, and even stones can be polished! If you use this thing, you can polish those metal utensils that are not suitable for sharpening with whetstones to smoother!"
"Your Majesty," Amy asked in a low voice, "What is metal that is not suitable for grinding with whetstone?"
"Those things that are not flat! For example, the inner side of the curved surface is hard to grind with whetstone!" Ella grabbed the paper with love, "I need this thing so much, how about transfer it to me? How much do you want?"
The stonemason's eyes rolled around.
"This thing is not cheap, at least... ten cocoa beans."
"I don't have cocoa beans. How about using this green bead just now? I'll give you another one?"
"make a deal!"
"Glass is also very expensive, and it's just paper made of sand." Amy murmured in a low voice, "So, I don't want His Majesty to go and discuss business."
No matter how much complaining, Ella had already negotiated, Amy could only take out another glass bead. But after handing the glass beads to the stonemason, she still said unwillingly: "This is an emerald, not equivalent to ten cocoa beans. If you take the beads, you have to give us ten more stone medals like this!"
The blacksmith did not hesitate and threw the entire backpack containing the goods to Amy. At this point, everyone was very happy-
Until Dust came in a hurry.
