Chapter 267: I Haven't Finished Speaking!

"Your Excellencies, the envoys! Since I have brought out this Magic Fan, it is certainly a gift for you all; how could I possibly use it to earn your gold coins!"

"Really? Then thank you so much, Crown Prince of the Griffins!" The envoys' expressions darkened, then immediately brightened with joy.

"However, Your Excellencies, there is one point I must clarify: although this Magic Fan will be gifted to you all, it will still require a short period of time before it can truly be placed in your hands!"

"After all, you all must be clear that this Magic Fan is a newly created magical artifact!"

"This... Crown Prince, then I wonder how long we must wait?" The envoys' joy diminished, for they were truly eager to possess it.

The Griffin Crown Prince did not answer, but looked toward Mi Xiusi. "This question requires Hou Jue Mi Xiusi to help answer, for this gift was also recommended to me by Hou Jue Mi Xiusi!"

Swish!

All the nobles in the hall turned their gaze in unison toward Mi Xiusi.

Mi Xiusi was stunned; he had not expected the Crown Prince to point him out directly.

And at this moment, besides the surprised gazes of the nobles, he could also feel the cold, sinister gaze of the Second Prince.

Sighing, Mi Xiusi knew he could not hide.

Of course, the reason the Crown Prince did this was not to harm him.

Rather, it showed that he truly had taken notice of him and was preparing to push him forward.

For after this, everyone would be clear that he, Mi Xiusi, was the Crown Prince's most steadfast supporter, and had even helped the Crown Prince.

And subsequently, if the Crown Prince did not give him benefits and care for this 'subordinate', would others still dare to pledge allegiance to the Crown Prince?

Obviously, they would not dare.

Therefore, he would certainly obtain corresponding benefits from the Crown Prince next, while the price paid would be thoroughly offending the Second Prince.

Of course, Mi Xiusi was not a person without brains.

Since he had taken this step, he would not hesitate; he simply stood up directly.

"Crown Prince, and Your Excellencies the envoys, this Magic Electric Fan, at the fastest, I'm afraid will require one and a half months before the second batch can be delivered to you envoys!"

"One and a half months? That is a bit long!"

"Crown Prince, mainly because this Magic Fan comes from the Storm Domain in the Southern Border, so a round trip consumes much time!"

"Storm Domain? Why does that sound somewhat familiar?"

The Griffin Crown Prince was somewhat strange.

Mi Xiusi and Adrie both had strange expressions.

Previously, my lord the Prince had had the same reaction.

Now Crown Prince has the same reaction too.

Truly, I do not know if this counts as luck; Gervas is merely a minor noble on the border, yet he has been known by great figures at the center of the kingdom's power twice.

Furthermore, after this, the Crown Prince probably will not forget the Storm Domain and Gervas.

"Crown Prince, the Lord of the Storm Domain, Gervas, is one of the lords who earned the primary merit in resisting the invasion of the Western Tribes this year; besides Count Violet, it is Viscount Gervas!"

"Additionally, the single-barrel telescope that has recently been very popular in the Capital is also produced in his territory!"

"It is him? No wonder it sounds so familiar? But, Gervas is only a viscount, right? First the single-barrel telescope, now the Magic Fan; how did he do it?"

With this reminder, the Griffin Crown Prince immediately recalled.

After all, the reward of the primary merit title for the Western Campaign a few months ago was issued by him.

Of course, he had a deeper impression of that Count named Catherine, and had subconsciously overlooked Gervas.

After all, that was the bloodline of the Hernand family, while Gervas was merely an ordinary person.

Of course, now it seems this minor noble does not seem simple.

Not to mention the Crown Prince; many nobles in the hall also knew of the single-barrel telescope.

Upon learning that this Magic Fan and the single-barrel telescope were produced by the same noble family, everyone firmly remembered the Storm Domain and Gervas.

"Crown Prince, this subordinate also does not know exactly how Viscount Gervas did it! This subordinate actually has not even been to the Storm Domain!"

Seeing that Mi Xiusi was also unclear, and that they were still at the banquet, the Griffin Crown Prince did not inquire further.

Instead, he returned to the Magic Fan.

"Mi Xiusi, then what is the price of this Magic Fan? Immediately help me order from the Storm Domain; I need to send it to Your Excellencies the envoys as quickly as possible!"

"This... Crown Prince, why not let this subordinate pay? The price of this Magic Fan is actually not expensive!" Mi Xiusi hesitated.

It was not that he did not want to help promote Gervas, but he worried the envoys would think the gift was too cheap.

So he prepared to find a way to promote it privately after the banquet ended.

The Griffin Crown Prince obviously did not know the inside story.

Moreover, as the Crown Prince of the Griffins, he certainly could not let a subordinate spend money to handle his own affairs.

Especially when it was a gift for the envoys.

"Mi Xiusi, if you personally purchase a Magic Fan to give to me, I certainly would not be polite and would accept it, but this is for the envoys, so I will pay for it myself!"

"Speak, how many gold coins are needed? In a moment I will have my servant deliver it to your estate!"

, at this moment also helpless, could only speak the truth,

Mi Xiusi also knew this principle; since the matter had reached this point, there was no way to conceal it.

"Crown Prince, the total price of this Magic Fan is thirty gold coins."

Swish!

"What? Only thirty gold coins?"

"Yes! That is too cheap! You must know that even an inferior magical ornament requires seventy or eighty gold coins!"

"Mi Xiusi, are you sure it is really that cheap?" Hearing the murmurs around, the Crown Prince naturally felt the same.

Mi Xiusi's expression was strange.

Seeing that the envoys did not show any unusual reaction.

It seems they truly need this Magic Fan so badly that they no longer care about the price.

"Your Highness the First Prince, the thirty gold coins I mentioned are not the true value of the magical artifact, but include the silver stand!"

"Ah?! Did we hear wrong? Including the value of the silver? This... this... does it mean only a dozen or so gold coins are needed? Then what's the difference between this and a free magical artifact?"

Marshal Mi Xiusi's words were like an explosion in a fish pond.

All the nobles in the hall stood stunned.

"Boy Gervas, you must send me a more luxurious Magic Fan in the future, or you won't be able to repay my efforts in promoting you so hard..."

Marshal Mi Xiusi took a deep breath. "Your Highness the First Prince, and all the nobles, you heard correctly. This silver stand was actually made by someone I commissioned, costing twenty-two gold coins!"

"And this Magic Fan only needs eight gold coins in total!"

"Eight gold coins? Oh my..."

"Of course, I haven't finished... Of these eight gold coins, the mana crystal accounts for the majority. That is, this bean-sized wind-attributed crystal can provide power for the Magic Fan for about two years!"

"Of course, if it is in the hot western regions, the time will shorten according to the intensity of use!"

"But in any case, this already saves a great deal of mana. And if you prepare your own wind-attributed mana crystals, the true price of this Magic Fan is only three gold coins!"

"At that time, whether or not to include wind-attributed mana crystals is up to you all to decide!"

"Three... three gold coins?!"
