Chapter 146: It truly is a waste of talent
Robb put the crystal ball on the table, held out his hand, and stroked it three times.
The two merchants did not know whether to laugh or cry, thinking, [Your crystal ball can be directly connected to her Majesty. How can you just do so on a whim? Normal people should at least bathe and change their clothes, and dress formally. You can't just be on a stone stool in a churchyard. You should find a more dignified place.]
The crystal ball on the table emitted a glittering white light, which was the signal that it was waiting for her Majesty to answer. At the same time, the crystal ball on her Majesty's side also emitted the same light.
Robb thought that the Queen would be very busy and might not be free to answer her "phone call," but he did not expect the light to dim in less than ten seconds after stroking it. Then, a beautiful woman slowly appeared in the crystal ball.
The picture projected by the crystal ball has a little "fisheye effect," which gives it a spherical look. That is to say, there is a little deformation, but this small deformation does not affect the woman's beauty.
Her beauty is absolute, pure, without a trace of impurities, with long blond hair and dark blue eyes like precious gems. She wore a long snow-white dress on her, looking as if she were born with it.
She was looking at Robb on this side of the crystal ball, very carefully and intricately.
Robb waved to her Majesty at the ball and said with a smile, "Hello, her Majesty. Oh, that's not intimate enough. I'd better call you by your name, Isabella VIII? Nono, VI? Uh, it’s the ninth, right?”
The two merchants almost went mad and hurriedly shouted, "it's Queen Elizabeth VII! It’s fine if history recalls wrong, but how can you even get her name wrong now?”
Robert coughed, "I'm sorry, Sister Elizabeth, but I'm not familiar with the history of the Kingdom of Gran, and it's nothing personal. I don't know the name of the king of Norma, nor can I name the emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty."
Her Majesty: "…..."
Her Majesty has experienced great waves of trouble since she was a child and has seen all kinds of people, especially in Lost City. She has seen many exiled nobles and arrogant adventurers, even people who do not know basic etiquette.
She did not show any dissatisfaction with Robb's messy performance but said faintly, "when I asked the two royal merchants to give you a crystal ball, I was ready to meet you. I didn't expect you to look so young and handsome. It's a far cry from what I imagined. "
Robb smiled and said, "what did you imagine me to be like?"
The Queen said, "in these troubled times since you can forcibly occupy the Westwind Town, there is nothing we can do about it. I thought your Excellency must be an incomparably sophisticated politician, a hero, and someone with a cold heroic temperament at the age of about 40, with vicissitudes and mature eyes. I really didn't expect that you were just a little blonde boy."
“Hahaha!” Robb laughed, “you first praised me for being handsome, and then you immediately complained that I looked young, like a little blonde boy. You wanted to say that I don’t look worthy of my achievements. You are immaturely trying to take revenge because I called your name wrong.”
The Queen shrugged and said nothing, but there was no doubt that she acquiesced.
Robb said, "sure enough, mature girls like uncles? While only young girls like young boys. Damn, I should’ve made myself look a little older when I was creating my character."
The Queen curiously said, "Hmm? What creating your character?"
“I’m just babbling.” Robb smiled, "you'll know after you've been in contact with me for a long time. I often say things that people don't understand. All you have to do is smile."
The Queen smiled, blossoming like a flower.
Robb found that the woman was a little fierce. But if you offend her, she won’t get angry with you but will keep it in mind so that she can take revenge when she finds the opportunity.
Her expressions change fast as well. As soon as she has finished taking revenge, she will smile and show you, which looks great.
The Queen smiled and said, "We brought you the crystal ball. The cream cake you promised will be sold in large quantities to my merchants, right?"
“Of course, it will." Robb said with a smile, "I'll have someone do it now. Afterward, the two merchants will be able to come back to Bright Road with cream cakes."
The Queen's eyes flashed with joy, but she quickly suppressed it. She replied, "I paid for the cream cake with money, so this crystal ball cannot be given to you for free. You have to spend money to buy it."
Robb asked, "well, how much is it?"
The Queen said, "A pair is a thousand gold coins. Since I only gave you one, I will accept it for five hundred gold coins."
“That’s quite expensive. Can’t you give me a discount since we have ties?”
“If we have such ties, you wouldn’t have called me by the wrong name.”
"You're good! Alright.” Robb said, "I can accept the price, but I do want to pay in coins, so let’s barter. I’ll also use a strategic item.”
Although the Queen did not understand what he was trying to do, she remembered that Robb had just said that he often said stuff others didn't understand, so she didn't ask. She smiled and said, "what item?"
Robb reached out and scratched the air using telekinesis. Afterward, a portal scroll in the warehouse flew out with a brush and fell into the palm of his hand. He handed the scroll over to Gugu and said with a smile, "Portal scrolls with unlimited capacity. The portal can exist for a week as long as the person who casts the scroll does not enter it (the game rules since the server goes under maintenance once every week). However, you can only go to places you’ve been to.”
"What?" The Queen was so shocked to hear the scroll's use.
Gugu and Jiji almost jumped up.
This… is a real strategic-grade portal scroll!
With this thing, her Majesty can instantly transfer the forces of Lost City to Bright Road and vice versa. She can also move as much as she wants.
If this is not a strategic item, what is?
Through the crystal ball, Robb could see the edge of her Majesty's skirt trembling gently, and it took several seconds for her to speak in a calm tone, "although I have suffered a little loss, I’ll just say it’s because of our friendship. I agree to trade the crystal ball for your portal scroll. "
Robb laughed, "Hahaha, you’re actually saying you suffered some loss. Little sister, you are so interesting. You’re truly acting like a queen, not a merchant.”
