Chapter 383: Customs and Traditions
So, when Long Yi appeared, the Earth Dragon Knight immediately stared at Long Yi's face.
At the beginning, Solin's makeup for Long Yi was a reference object. And that reference object was Abbas.
Abbas doesn't like going out very much, but as a member of the Black family, Abbas naturally inherits the characteristics of the Black family. And these inevitable characteristics, Thorin must have taken care of.
Long Yi looks like the kind now, but at first glance, but it doesn’t look very similar. However, as you look at it too much, the more you look, the more you look.
Especially the Earth Dragon Knight was originally nervous, but it naturally looked very similar.
"Ahem, this adult... the villain is just his duty, please don't be surprised..." The Earth Dragon Knight said nervously. There was a device in his hand, which was larger than the previous one. While he said, he injected the fighting spirit into it. The device immediately shone light and swept Long Yi and Erin beside him up and down.
The main purpose of this device is to detect the Dou Qi. But Long Yi had already restored all the Dou Qi to the power of a giant at this time, and Erin's body had a complete dragon power, which could not be detected at all.
After realizing that the device did not call the alarm, the Earth Dragon Knight breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed and said, "Please come in, sir, I apologize to you again."
But Long Yi smiled, turned around and threw a small bag to the coachman, and said, "Thank you for your care along the way. Go and buy yourself some decent clothes for this little thing."
The coachman took the bag, and the hardness and edges inside immediately increased his blood pressure a lot. The slightly exposed corners from his pocket immediately made the Ground Dragon Knight widen his eyes.
It turned out to be a gem!
This man actually gave the coachman gemstone as the fare!
It's just a hell!
If the Earth Dragon Knight was a little suspicious at the beginning, he now had no doubts. In this Black Dragon Empire imperial city, there are not many families who can take such a generous attack!
Xiao Zi passed by the underground. Solin entered the city under the cover of Long Yi and Erin. It was easier to enter the city during the day than at night.
"Huh... I feel so good to be a rich man!" Long Yi took out a gem from his pocket and put it under the sun and looked carefully.
"It's not bought with money, it feels like it's fake." Erin said as she looked at the diamond in Long Yi's hand.
"Haha, although these things are all made by me, there is no difference in the ingredients!" Long Yi said proudly.
Yes, those night pearls and these gems are all made by Long Yi himself.
Needless to say, the Night Pearl is not different from the composition of the beads. The clam shells are easily made into powder and beads through the giant scepter. Just make some glowing things and fill them in them.
These diamonds are simpler, you can make them just by finding some charcoal. Because the ingredients are simple, they are purer. They look even brighter than real diamonds!
There are several famous hotels in the inner city. Long Yi and Erin chose the most luxurious one to stay in. The behavior of paying for the gems directly alarmed the hotel owner. The best rooms and the most delicious food are naturally the ones that are requested.
Then, for three days, Long Yi and Irene visited the entire imperial city.
It has to be said that the highest control has brought some impact on the imperial city, but it is difficult to hide the prosperity. The Black Dragon Empire Imperial City covers an area of nearly 600 square kilometers and has a population of more than one million. Of course, this is included in the area and population of the outer city. Among them, the area of the inner and outer city is 80 square kilometers and the population is less than 100,000. Unlike the open commercial empire like the White Dragon Empire, the Black Dragon Empire monopolized everything in the hands of the royal family. The most famous and most luxurious ones in the imperial city must be run by the royal family.
During these three days, Long Yisan had a thorough understanding of the residents of the Black Dragon Empire Imperial City.
To put it nicely, they are all very pragmatic. To put it badly, they are all very snobbish.
No, it's extreme snobbery.
The dog's eyes are just a small fuss. Here, the most common thing is to show off wealth in the street.
Compared to the worlds in which Long Yi showed off his wealth in his previous life, the show of wealth in this world seemed simpler and rough. In just three days, Long Yi saw six times when noble ladies competed with each other to buy expensive jewelry. He saw two times when rich merchants deliberately bought useless things at high prices. There are more brainless behaviors, let alone.
However, in Longyi's opinion, showing off his wealth like this can't show off his wealth at all. Because he spent a lot of money, he still got items worth about the same value as this money? The money just changed and returned to his side. To put it bluntly, he was just a poor poor man who couldn't bear to bear money.
If you want to show off your wealth, there is the easiest way.
Donate.
Build a building for homeless people, let them live in for free, and support them for their whole lives. Give each poor people in the city a car and help them maintain them for their whole lives.
How cool.
However, in addition to this, Long Yi also gained a deeper understanding of the residents of this imperial city.
These people support their emperor in a very extreme way. At any time, as long as they mention their emperor, everyone's face will appear sickly excited. They will even shout long live the emperor when they eat, and will thank the emperor for bringing them income when they collect money.
This kind of treatment has never been seen by the Emperor of the White Dragon Empire.
If he hadn't been worried about Xiao Zi being discovered, he really wanted Xiao Zi to see if everyone had been brainwashed.
However, thanks to this snobbish atmosphere, even during this period of highest control, the streets were covered with patrol soldiers, but they did not cause much trouble to Long Yi and the others. Long Yi, who followed the local customs, fully demonstrated the actions of the local tyrants.
In three days, Long Yi was following the customs, while Xiao Zi and the Dandi sisters searched the entire city. The Dandi sisters determined the location of Yasha, and Xiao Zi even sneaked into the laboratory of the Black Dragon Empire. To Long Yi was surprised that the factory that once created the undead warriors had started construction again.
It seems that this time the destination has increased again.
Then, Long Yi also started to act.
That morning, Long Yi came to the door of Abbas's mansion and submitted a letter to the guards at the door.
Not long after, a thin old man walked out inside. The old man looked up and down at Long Yi and said, "Come with me."
This old man is Abbas's personal waiter. He grew up with Abbas. The relationship between them is like a brother. He has deep Abbas' trust. Many things about Abbas are left to him to take care of.
Long Yi smiled slightly, followed the butler and walked into the huge mansion of Abbas.
Even on the Black Dragon Empire, a land full of wealth, Abbas's huge mansion is scary enough. As a businessman of the royal family, the money he earns in his life is even comparable to that of the American treasury. Of course, most of them have entered the treasury as taxes.
Abbas likes two things in his life.
money.
bet.
Abbas often bets, and the bets are huge.
But there is a bet that Abbas is most worried about.
Ten years ago, the old emperor was still alive, and Abbas and Emperor Garnier made a bet, and Garnier insisted that this world could occasionally find a purely natural fire-eyed giant diamond.
The so-called Fire Eye Diamond. It should be essentially a huge diamond, but there will be a fire-red diamond in the center of the pure colorless diamond. At first, no one knows why the dispute occurred, but the bet here was also very sensation back then. Abbas took his life as the term. If he could find the Fire Eye Diamond before his death, the emperor would lower Abbas' tax rate. If Abbas fails, the emperor would raise the current tax rate to an astonishing height again.
Since ten years ago, Abbas has searched the world for this fire-eye giant diamond and paid a lot of money. But this kind of thing that is hard to come by is definitely not something you can find. Some people try to fake it, but let alone fire-eye, the attribute of a giant diamond is extremely difficult to satisfy. Finally, after cutting off a few people's heads, no one challenged this bonus again.
Originally, after the old emperor died, Abbas believed that the bet should have expired. However, the new emperor Jacques once again proposed this bet at this time. Obviously, he really planned to increase the tax rate for Abbas.
This made Abbas extremely annoyed, but when he thought of the monster Jacques, Abbas did not dare to refute it. After all, the ministers who had their heads cut off were examples.
Now, Long Yi is here.
Abbas is a fat man, short and fat. Because he is not as tall as Ton and has no fighting spirit, he seems extremely clumsy. However, when Long Yi took out the fire-eye diamond that was bigger than his fist from his private space, Abbas rushed to Long Yi almost in one step, and then used his trembling hands to end the stone-covered gem, looking at the fire-eye inside, which was like a rushing flame.
"grown ups!"
The housekeeper spoke aside.
Abbas immediately realized that he had lost his composure.
The fire-eyed giant diamond was handed over to the butler. The butler put on special glasses and observed it carefully. After a while, Abbas saw with his own eyes that the restless butler, who had been shaking his hands for thousands of years, was so excited that his hands were shaking!
"It's true!"
Although the butler tried his best to suppress his emotions, the sudden surprise made his hands tremble uncontrollably.
Abbas quickly took over the giant diamond. Although it was just a raw stone that had not been cut, its huge size and incredibly flawless purity had already made Abbas flawless. He stared at the fire eye in the center of the diamond greedily, almost unwilling to move his eyes away!
"Sir, can we talk about the reward?"
Chapter completed!
