143: Chapter 143: The Gift of the Foreign Devils (Third Release Today) 143: Chapter 143: The Gift of the Foreign Devils (Third Release Today) Although it is in English, it is clearly different from what I have learned.
After all, the English I learned belongs to the 21st century.
Therefore, so differences are understandable.
At the sa ti, Lin Yi began to attempt reading it aloud.
With each bizarre phrase recited by Lin Yi, the young Emperor was instantly stunned.
Then, a joy filled his heart; indeed, he had guessed correctly.
Lin Yi indeed recognized these strange characters.
However, listening to these bizarre phrases read by Lin Yi only deepened the young Emperor’s confusion, as she couldn’t understand at all.
After Lin Yi finished reading the content, the young Emperor imdiately cast an inquiring glance.
“There’s nothing particularly amazing about this thing, the general idea is similar to a diplomatic letter.
They say they co from a country called England, and deliberately sent a 300-person team to explore along the ocean.
Coming to your country, they hope your country could assist, hoping to provide so of the supplies they need.
And if possible, they wish to engage in so trade exchanges with us.”
After hearing Lin Yi’s explanation, the young Emperor nodded:
“The words these people speak are also strange, just like those weird sounds you just made, and currently, we have absolutely no way to communicate with them.
Later, when they realized that communication was impossible, they presented this scroll, and also gifted us a collection of very rare and precious treasures.
It seems they also showed enough consideration.
Unfortunately, we are utterly unable to communicate with them, and we also cannot understand what they are saying.
I want to reciprocate with so gifts, but I also do not know how to communicate.”
As she spoke, the young Emperor reached under the table and felt out a very exquisite wooden box.
“Here, this is the gift they brought us.”
Just looking at the craftsmanship of this wooden box, it is very sophisticated, not only in the materials used but also decorated with gold.
This is enough to show the preciousness of this box.
Seeing this, Lin Yi’s eyes imdiately brightened, and he blurted out:
“Just looking at this box shows its value, these guys must really have spent heavily.”
Unexpectedly, this comnt was t with a roll of the eyes from the young Emperor.
“Don’t talk nonsense, the gift they gave is inside this box; this box is one of our own.
Because the items they sent are very precious and also very fragile, a specially nice box was chosen to hold them.”
Hearing the young Emperor’s words, Lin Yi beca even more curious about the items inside the box.
To think they sent such a valuable treasure, requiring such an expensive box to contain it.
You should know, the value of the box now is by no ans inferior to that which held the Luminous Pearl, even surpassing it.
This is sufficient to see how much the young Emperor treasures the gift inside the box.
Under Lin Yi’s curious gaze, the young Emperor directly reached out and gently opened the box.
As the box lid opened, the contents inside also instantly ca into Lin Yi’s view.
At this mont, the sun had just risen, therefore hitting directly onto this table.
Accompanied by the opening of the box lid, and with the sunlight shining, a dazzling light instantly shone in the eyes of both the young Emperor and Lin Yi.
This blinding light caused the young Emperor’s beautiful eyes to slightly squint.
Those long eyelashes fluttered, stirring up Lin Yi’s heart and thoughts.
“With these long eyelashes, they could definitely be ‘waterproof.’
Even if his own descendants accidentally drip sothing on these eyes, I fear it wouldn’t penetrate inside.
In just an instant, Lin Yi’s mind conjured up an image.
Of course, his thoughts had gone a bit awry.
Lin Yi hurriedly shook his head and shifted his gaze away from the young Emperor’s eyes.
At the sa ti, he focused his attention on what was inside the box.
However, upon inspecting it, Lin Yi was suddenly dumbstruck on the spot.
Then, under the puzzled look of the young Emperor, Lin Yi took a step forward, pointed at the contents of the box, and excitedly asked:
‘Are you saying these things here are gifts from them?’
Seeing Lin Yi’s excited deanor, the young Emperor couldn’t help but find it amusing.
This was the first ti he had seen Lin Yi so thrilled.
Who would have thought that this guy would lose his composure in the face of treasures?
Thus, under Lin Yi’s excited expression, the young Emperor nodded slightly:
‘Yes, this whole box was gifted to us.
Seeing how you seem like you’ve never seen such things before, if you like them, I’ll give you two Glass Beads.’
As he spoke, the young Emperor carefully reached inside and took out two round objects, passing them directly to Lin Yi.
Although the Emperor was very fond of these objects, Lin Yi’s significance to him was unspeakable.
Thus, even if it were sothing the Emperor cherished greatly, he would not be stingy in giving it to Lin Yi.
Looking at the two dull glass beads in the Emperor’s palm, Lin Yi couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.
‘No, no, I don’t want these lousy things.’
Initially wanting to see Lin Yi make a fool of himself, the young Emperor, watching Lin Yi repeatedly waving and shaking his head, was imdiately stunned.
For a mont, he doubted if he had heard wrongly.
What did this scoundrel say?
He said he doesn’t want them?
And he even called these Glass Beads lousy things?
You should know these Glass Beads are incredibly precious; the quantity available is extrely scarce, not to ntion the value of a single bead, if sold outside, would absolutely not be less than five thousand taels of silver.
Moreover, the quality of this glass is so pure.
At a glance, there’s not the slightest impurity inside.
This makes them even more precious.
‘Are you sure you don’t want them?
The value of a single good quality glass ball is definitely more than five thousand taels of silver!
If soone really likes it, selling it for ten thousand taels wouldn’t be a problem.’
Hearing this, Lin Yi shook his head again.
He then reached out, took one of the glass balls from the Emperor’s hand, examined it closely before his eyes,
and after realizing it was really just an ordinary glass ball,
he very disdainfully tossed it back into the box.
And with that action, the Emperor’s eyes suddenly widened.
These Glass Beads are very fragile,
