Being looked at by everyone like this, even Fabialo couldn't help but said to Big William fiercely: "Big William, how about we compete to see who has given a higher value gift this time?"
He was confident that the tapestry belt in his hand was definitely the most shining treasure today.
"It's a competition! But since it's a competition, I wonder what other bets you have?" Big William showed no sign of weakness. Although his territory is adjacent to Porto, the economic conditions of the two territories are not much different.
But William's ancestors were also rich and left many good things to him, so he didn't believe that he would lose to Fabialo at all.
It is human nature to watch the excitement, and these nobles of the Visigoth Kingdom are no exception.
And what they like most is to show off their wealth, so when they saw the two gambling with this, they all gathered around with interest.
"I have a mine at our border, and you have a forest farm. Let's bet on this! If you win, the mine will be yours, and if I win, the forest farm will be mine!" Of course Fabialo wanted to make a big bet at this time.
William was shocked when he heard this. Fabialo actually placed such a heavy bet. Could it be that he was really sure of winning?
Impossible. What good things can this poor guy have? I heard that he wants to expand the knights, which must be draining his family fortune!
Moreover, that mine has always been a place that William has coveted, and it is a huge temptation for him.
After only hesitating for a moment, William said: "Okay, I'll do as you say, but how do you calculate the outcome?"
Fabialo looked at the nobles gathered around and said, "How about everyone voting then?"
These nobles who were watching the excitement were able to participate in the excitement themselves, so they were naturally more active and expressed their willingness to vote for what the two of them presented.
At this time, King Jindila also came over with the queen: "What are you talking about so happily?"
"Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted the king together, and then a noble told the king what the two had a dispute with.
King Jindila and Queen looked at each other, and then said with a smile: "You two have aroused our interest by doing this, so let's see what gifts you two have prepared!"
William looked at Fabialo and asked: "Who comes first?"
"You go first!" Fabialo said nonchalantly.
"Haha, if I go first, you might be embarrassed to take out your things after a while."
After speaking, Big William waved his hand, and one of his followers came over and presented him with a beautiful small box.
He picked up the exquisite little box and gave it to the queen respectfully. After all, today was the queen's birthday party.
The queen gently opened the small box, and the contents inside shone brightly under the light.
"Wow!! What a big gem!!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"This great William is so willing to give up!"
Inside the box is a gem ring. William's territory was originally very close to the Strait of Gibraltar. His family had developed in Africa several generations ago and owned a gem mine in Africa.
This is where his confidence lies. This is a ruby he specially selected and a ring made by a famous craftsman.
As expected, everyone was amazed by this ring. The bright ruby was so eye-catching.
Especially the noble ladies who came with these lords, when they saw such gems, they wanted to take them directly and wear them on their hands.
Hearing everyone's admiration, William looked at Fabiello proudly. In his mind, his expensive gemstone ring should make Fabiello give in immediately.
Unexpectedly, Fabialo just smiled very gracefully, and then also waved to his butler. The butler handed a long box to Fabialo.
Fabialo stepped forward. At this time, the queen was only looking at the ring on her finger, and she didn't even notice that Fabialo came to give a gift.
Seeing this scene, William felt even more confident about winning.
King Jindila could only take the box from Fabialo's hand at this time.
"Let's see what kind of treasure Fabialo brings?"
As she spoke, Jindila opened the box in her hand.
"What is it?"
"It seems like a strip of cloth?"
"Isn't it? This Fabialo is really so shabby, just give him a piece of cloth??"
"Stop talking, his Porto is a poor place. Do you really think he can come up with anything good?"
The tapestry belt was placed flat in the box, and it was still several meters away from these nobles, so they could only roughly see that it was a strip of cloth, and they couldn't help but despise Fabialo in their hearts.
In addition, he usually doesn't think highly of Fabialo, so his words are naturally more offensive.
But unlike them, King Jindila held the box in his own hand, and he could see the contents clearly.
He even couldn't wait to call his entourage to pick up the box, so he threw the box away, then picked up the tapestry belt and looked at it carefully.
This move also stunned other nobles.
"what's the situation?"
"The king was angry? He threw away all the gift boxes?"
"It doesn't seem like it, look at the king!"
"What on earth is this?? It doesn't look like an ordinary strip of cloth!"
The nobles who came here also had different statuses. Those with higher status naturally leaned forward to see clearly what the king was holding.
"This...is this a tapestry product from the Tang Dynasty?" The king looked at Fabialo with some uncertainty.
He had seen a treasured handkerchief from Dagobert I of the Kingdom of Burgundy a few years ago. The craftsmanship was very similar to the belt he was holding.
Fabialo nodded and said loudly: "Your Majesty is right, this is a tapestry product from the Tang Dynasty. This belt is a treasure made by their royal family. The pattern on it is a kind of unicorn in their country." The mythical beast."
The queen, who was playing with the ruby ring, heard that it was silk fabric from the Tang Dynasty and was attracted to it.
Fabialo saw that everyone was attracted by the tapestry unicorn belt he presented, so he used the rhetoric that old Peter had introduced to him.
"This tapestry product is no better than ordinary silk products. Even in the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that every inch of tapestry is worth gold."
"You can see that the lines on it seem to be carved with a knife. In fact, it is not. It is the carving effect made by the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty using silk thread. This belt alone requires more than a dozen craftsmen to spend several months. time to complete.”
"Even in the Tang Dynasty, it is also a treasure among treasures!"
