The eyes of princes and nobles were all focused on Kao. Apparently, some people were already plotting against this rich bachelor. Although the Sheoubei people were not well-known, their power and wealth were obvious to all. In this day and age, fists were the only thing that mattered. Some mermaid beauties also began to flirt with Kao.
"You idiot, you're so rich, but you always try to cheat me. I'll go back and settle the score with you later!"
Caesar took the opportunity to glare at Kaeo fiercely. This gangster always ate his food, used his things and spent his money. No wonder he was so rich. It was all accumulated by exploiting poor people like him.
Kao looked extremely wronged. "Boss, this is none of my business. Ever since I decided to follow you into Reef Academy, my old man kicked me out without even giving me an extra piece of clothing. This was not for me, but to save his own face. I won't get a penny from this money."
"...Then how long will you continue to eat me?"
"Hehe, when I fully comprehend the Vacuum Slashing Axe and become a world-famous master, I can return home in glory. By then, I will make sure to treat the boss to a delicious meal."
Oh my god..., by that time even Caesar's body would have turned cold.
"The Renault family congratulates Her Majesty the Queen on her birthday and presents her with a thousand-year-old jade bed, a bottle of dragon and phoenix marrow, one hundred first-grade magic crystals, a piece of mithril crystal armor, and ten million gold coins."
It seems that the competition has entered its climax. The Renault family has made a lot of money in the past few years by relying on the privileges of the city guards. Ten million gold coins are just embellishments. The thousand-year-old warm jade bed is not something that belongs to the sea clan. That kind of warm jade does not grow on the seabed, but is a rare treasure on the mainland. It is a priceless treasure in the eyes of humans. It can be said that the entire sea clan may only have one such piece. The other party has really invested a lot of money. I don't know how much money it cost to get it. Moreover, the thousand-year-old warm jade is very helpful for the magician's meditation. Generally speaking, it is good to get a small piece to make a jade pendant. The value of the entire bed can be imagined.
Dragon and Phoenix Marrow is not the real bone marrow of dragons and phoenixes... It is almost impossible to extract any essence from these two creatures, especially the legendary phoenix, which is an existence that humans have only heard of in legends, the pinnacle king of the fire system... It is still a question whether the pure fire elves have bone marrow, but this dragon and phoenix marrow is a holy medicine for healing. No matter whether it is the damage of fighting spirit or magic, it can be restored in a short time. As long as there is a breath, it can be brought back to life. The source is unknown. Some believe that it is the blood of some super-class sea monster, and some say it is something like thousand-year-old stalactites, but its effect is beyond doubt. No one would think that the dignified Renault family would use fake goods to fill in the facade.
As soon as these two things appeared, the whole place fell silent, and everyone had only one thought in their mind: the Renault family was not going to make it!
Things like thousand-year-old warm jade and dragon and phoenix marrow are basically family heirlooms. They are not like pearls and gems that only have ornamental value. They can save lives.
If a mermaid child sleeps on ten thousand year warm jade since childhood, combined with his original magical talent, he may become the best master of the younger generation of mermaids when he grows up. The value of dragon and phoenix marrow will be even more expensive. Even if one has great power and wealth, everything will be gone when one dies. Dragon and phoenix marrow is definitely a life-saving thing. This kind of thing will never be offered as a tribute. This is no longer a question of respect or disrespect. The gift is already too expensive.
His Majesty Aries and Queen Christina looked at each other, and could see each other's doubts. Of course, in such a situation, they could only bury their doubts in their hearts and naturally expressed admiration on the surface.
Queen Christina glanced at Clara, and it seemed that the other party was just about to make a move.
In comparison, the gift given by the Xiaobote family was inferior. There was no way. Who would have thought that the Renault family would give such an exaggerated gift? Xiaobote's face was very bad. He vaguely guessed the other party's purpose. Would they really go all out and propose to Princess Clara on such an occasion?
The mermaids are a romantic race. As long as the couples are well matched, they allow free love. However, the words of the parents are still the most important, especially for royal family members. Xiao Porter's original intention was to make Princess Clara succumb to his charm. He knew that with Princess Clara's character and the favor of His Majesty Aries, this was the only right way. However, if others played tricks, it would be dangerous.
His Majesty Ares is very good at controlling the royal power. He gave the disadvantaged Renault family military power, and then did not forget to improve the political power of their Xiao family, so that the two families checked and balanced each other, and his royal power became more solid. In recent years, the Renault family has made great contributions to consolidate the royal power. If you take this opportunity to make such a request to the Mermaid King, His Majesty Ares might really agree. After all, not agreeing is equivalent to slapping the other party on the spot. Even if you can't agree directly, you will always give the other party a big sweet.
...What on earth is making the Renault family so anxious? You know, that idiot Collorio just lost face, how could His Majesty agree at this time? No matter how you look at it, today is not the best time. It is puzzling how the old man Renault, who is so cunning, could make such a stupid decision.
Xiao Bote looked at his father very worriedly. Although his father's expression remained unchanged, he was obviously thinking about it. The other party had made a move, but they didn't even know what move it was.
However, Colorio and old Renault were confident. Renault was even more pleased as his son was not stupid but a rare genius. If he had not been jealous of a commoner and caused a lot of trouble, his actions would probably have revealed clues and been discovered by the other party. However, looking at the reactions of Xiao Porter and the others, it was obvious that there was no difference at all. It was really God's help.
Elena was considered an outsider, so she didn't need to send any special gifts. However, the mermaids and dragons had been friends for generations, and King Aries and King Karaso were good friends. Naturally, Elena had to show some respect while living in the Mermaid Palace. Elena didn't have to worry about this, as the accompanying etiquette officer had already prepared the gifts. Before she came, the Sea Dragon King Karaso had already made plans. After all, Christina was also a famous beauty at the time, and Karaso was one of her admirers. However, because of racial reasons, he quickly withdrew and gave up a love that had not yet begun. The Sea Dragons would never allow their king to marry a woman from another race, even if she was a member of the mermaid royal family.
