Chapter 265: The Magic Fan Appears!

"Marshal Mi Xiusi, what should we do? If those envoys are pulled over by the Second Prince, the trade in the West will belong to that fellow from now on!"

Adery and Marshal Mi Xiusi were also in the banquet hall of the Agate Manor today.

This was the reward for winning the previous competition.

And now, watching the dispute between the First Prince and the Second Prince in the arena, Adery couldn't help but worry and ask Marshal Mi Xiusi beside him.

Obviously, the two belonged to the First Prince's faction.

It wasn't that they wanted to choose a side themselves, but at their status, if you really wanted to offend no one, you could only be mediocre for the rest of your life.

Ten years ago, the situation was better.

At that time, Your Majesty the King was in good health; one only needed to be loyal to Your Majesty the King.

But now, Your Majesty the King's health is deteriorating, and the transfer of power in the kingdom is just around the corner.

And in fact, it is the First Prince and the Second Prince who are helping to handle the kingdom's affairs.

The reason why the First Prince has the legal right of succession yet this situation still arises is much the same as most versions of internal family disputes.

Your Majesty the King's first queen passed away unexpectedly, and he subsequently married the daughter of another duke.

Afterwards, this daughter of a duke also gave birth to a prince.

With the guidance and arrangement of the mother, and with the support of the maternal Gongjuan family, the struggle for the throne naturally arose.

"I have a way!" Seeing the First Prince's face already as dark as water, Marshal Mi Xiusi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"What way? Could you, Marshal Mi Xiusi, even produce a gift better than that Second Prince's?"

"That's right! Originally, I was thinking of bringing it out after the banquet ended, but now it seems it's not needed!" Marshal Mi Xiusi nodded, then quickly beckoned to his personal servant behind him.

After instructing the personal servant with a few words, the servant left quickly.

"Marshal Mi Xiusi, when did you become so wealthy? You can actually produce something worth more than the Condensed Water Bead?" Adery looked on, his face full of disbelief!

"Adery, was I ever that poor before?" Marshal Mi Xiusi said irritably.

"Not poor, exactly, just not much richer than me. So, those three Condensed Water Beads are worth at least seven or eight gold coins. Could you produce a gift worth four hundred gold coins to crush it?"

"Also, those fellows are from the Western Duchy; the Condensed Water Bead is something that hits right where their hearts are!"

"I know what you mean, Adery. Just wait and see the good show!" Marshal Mi Xiusi was very confident.

Just then, Marshal Mi Xiusi's personal servant returned.

After returning to the hall, he walked directly toward the front of the hall where the First Prince was located.

Of course, as a mere servant, he definitely could not get close to the First Prince and was immediately stopped by a attendant nearby.

Whispering a few words into the ear of that First Prince's attendant, the attendant looked at Hou Jue Marshal Mi Xiusi in surprise.

Hou Jue Marshal Mi Xiusi nodded, and the First Prince's attendant wasted no more time, quickly going to the ear of the First Prince whose face was as dark as water.

At first, the First Prince's expression didn't change, but after hearing the attendant's whisper, surprise appeared on his face.

Immediately, the Griffin First Prince looked at Hou Jue Marshal Mi Xiusi in disbelief, and Hou Jue Marshal Mi Xiusi nodded again.

"Wait!"

The same scene; this time it was the First Prince's turn to stop the envoys.

Seeing that their imminent agreement was being interrupted again, the several envoys were somewhat surprised.

However, in an instant, the several of them showed even more joyful expressions.

They would have loved nothing more than for the First Prince and the Second Prince to fight until their brains were exposed; only then could they obtain more benefits.

"Big Brother, do you have another gift to give to the several envoys?"

The Second Prince was also very surprised originally, but thinking of the news he had received in advance.

He was certain that the gift his own big brother had prepared was only those few items from before; his confidence immediately returned, and he asked with a playful expression.

It was just that what he didn't expect was that the First Prince smiled and nodded, "That's right! Karen, I indeed have a gift I haven't brought out yet!"

After speaking, the First Prince waved his hand amidst the surprised gazes of the nobles.

Immediately, two servants from outside carried a wooden box on a silver stand into the hall.

The servants quickly placed the silver stand in the exact center of the hall, then opened the wooden box.

What puzzled everyone was that inside the wooden box was actually just an iron disc.

"Eh, there seem to be patterns on it!"

"Not just patterns; those are inscriptions. Although very shallow, they are indeed different from the decorative patterns! This is actually a magical item?"

"It does seem so, but this magical item is too cheap. That material doesn't even seem to be silver, right?"

"That's right; the reflective luster is definitely iron!"

At this time, someone with sharp eyes immediately noticed the anomaly on this disc.

And the crowd naturally recognized that this was a magical artifact.

"Pfft! Big Brother, what kind of gift is this? Although it is a magical item, it is made of iron; this is too inferior, isn't it?"

Seeing his own big brother's unexpectedly strange gift, the Second Prince's heart, which had been startled, settled completely.

This magical artifact was ridiculously inferior; could the magic it produced even be felt?

The several envoys also looked at the First Prince in astonishment.

Although the First Prince's Night-Luminous Bead before couldn't compare to the Condensed Water Bead, they also knew it was of great value.

But this iron-made magical item, even if given to them, they wouldn't be very willing to accept it; it was simply too degrading.

"Karen, don't be anxious; you will know in a moment!"

The Griffin First Prince had already learned from the attendant that Marshal Mi Xiusi had solemnly guaranteed that this gift he offered could surpass the Second Prince's gift.

Having very great trust in Marshal Mi Xiusi, he indeed had considerable confidence.

Immediately, he waved his hand toward Marshal Mi Xiusi's personal servant.

That servant immediately pressed the switch of the Magic Electric Fan.

Buzz-buzz!

The inscriptions connected, light appeared, and spread along the inscriptions into every pattern.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

After the inscriptions were filled with mana, a sudden gust of wind blew out from the disc.

One of the envoys happened to be facing the disc directly.

As the gust hit him, his formal robe and hair immediately began to flutter.

Instantly, the envoy froze in confusion.

However, after snapping back to his senses, he suddenly stood up.

"This... how was this done? The disc can actually blow wind???"

The Griffin King's capital was not particularly hot at this moment.

But in such a crowded hall, while eating roasted meat and other hot foods, sweating was actually quite normal.

This gust of wind could be said to have directly blown away the envoy's intense heat.

And this strange sensation made the envoy, who came from a desert kingdom, immediately realize the benefits the disc brought.

You must know that the Red Rock Duchy where he lived was in a perpetual hot season; often, even in winter, the heat was no lower than the summer in the Griffin Kingdom!

Therefore, what they lacked most, besides water, was something to lower the temperature.

In fact, for a person of his status, cooling down was even more important than water.

After all, it was the commoners who lacked water, not the nobles.

But for the heat, unless one had ice blocks, there was truly no other solution.

Yet the worst part was that in the Red Rock Duchy, only the royal family could enjoy ice cellars.

Because ice storage was completely unrealistic.

The only source of ice blocks was to have mages freeze water.

But the problem was, how many nobles could afford to hire mages to make ice for themselves?
