Imperial Crown

A big event happened in Xuefeng County.

Knight Eric led two battalions, 1,100 elite Eagle Army soldiers in full helmets and armor, and set out from Eagle Territory and headed straight for Hovi City.

Their purpose was to escort Baron Raven's engagement gift to Miss Nancy, which was called Angel's Glory.

It was hard not to attract other people's attention with such a grand ceremony. Passing by other noble territories on the way, it was inevitable to be asked questions.

However, no matter who invited him, Eric declined all of them. He ate and lived in the barracks, and even refused all the wine and food sent by the lords of various families, without revealing any content.

The tense state was like preparing for a big war.

Such a full style naturally aroused the curiosity of many people, and as Eric's journey got longer, it became more and more intense.

Only 10 days after the departure, the entire Nord Province began to pay attention to this gift-giving team.

For a time, "Angel's Glory" became the most discussed topic in Nord Province.

Some nobles even sent their knights, or even went out in person, to follow Eric's team, waiting to see the treasure first!

When nobles travel, they naturally don't travel light, they have to bring at least a dozen people, plus the merchants who follow the trend and the mercenaries who want to learn more, the team is getting bigger and bigger.

So when the team arrived in Hovi City 23 days later, it had expanded to nearly 5,000 people.

Inside and outside the west gate of Hovi City, local residents who came to watch the excitement, merchants, tourists, and nobles who heard the news and waited here were crowded, each with expectation on their faces, discussing and communicating in a low voice.

If you look from a high altitude, it looks like a huge swarm of bees.

Gul'dan on the top of the city turned pale.

As early as when he heard the news of the team's departure, Gul'dan noticed Raven's "sinister intentions".

Raven was obviously using the opportunity of giving an engagement gift to make his new product "Angel's Glory" famous.

He didn't even communicate with the Fox family in advance!

Yes, now that Raven succeeded, the whole Nord Province knows about this thing.

But this idiot little bee never thought that Fox is a count family.

Count family!

What kind of gift can he come up with to match the count family?

It can't be a golden statue, right?

That does fit the aesthetics and taste of a pariah in a group of usurping nobles.

The monkey put on human skin and really thought of himself as a human being!

The team slowly stopped, and even if Gul'dan was unhappy, he had to go down.

Eric pounded his chest and saluted: "Mr. Gul'dan, I..."

"Let's talk about it later." Gul'dan waved his hand: "Take a few people, escort the gifts and go to the castle with me, and the others will temporarily stay outside the city."

He really didn't want the gift to appear in public. The more people see it, the more trouble it will cause.

You Raven don't care about face, and the reputation of our Fox family cannot be blasphemed!

Eric still wanted to fight for it, but seeing Gul'dan's face, he knew that this was the territory of the Fox family, so he had to obey.

However, Baron Raven had previously ordered that as many people as possible should be present to witness the gift, so even though Eric gave the order, his men still did not move quickly, and the reason was also justified - the gift was precious and fragile.

Gul'dan was so anxious that he wanted to kill someone, but he still had to wait for Eric for an hour before the things were slowly transported into the city.

The streets were crowded with people, so crowded that even flies could not fly. If Gul'dan had not arranged soldiers on both sides of the road to maintain order in advance, the carriage would definitely be unable to move!

Even so, when the carriage carrying the gifts drove outside the castle, the time had also changed from morning to noon.

The sun was blazing.

Under the blazing sun at noon, a carriage drove over.

Gul'dan's mind buzzed - Nancy is here after all.

Only a dozen minutes, just a dozen minutes, everything will be fine after the things are transported into the castle and the gates are closed!

She came at this time!

The carriage stopped, and Nancy jumped out of the carriage, with two high ponytails on her head, and deep dimples on her apple-like face, with expectation and smile from the heart.

A bright red dress swayed with her steps, and the lace on the hem of the dress fluttered in the wind. From a distance, it looked like a flying flame.

She is worthy of being the flaming rose of the Fox family.

"Brother, why is it so long? I can't wait!" Nancy smiled, and without waiting for Gul'dan to respond, she looked at Eric: "Long time no see, I heard that you are a knight now?"

"Miss Nancy, you are still as innocent and beautiful as before." Eric saluted and said: "On this carriage is the gift that the Baron has carefully prepared for you. It is unique in the entire Nord Province and even the entire empire!"

Gul'dan's face was slightly pale, because he knew that according to Nancy's flamboyant temper, she would definitely open this gift on the spot.

But at this time, a kind of vicious pleasure rose in his heart.

He had done his best; he had also tried to appease Nancy; and the move to marry Raven was the decision of his father Montreal.

No matter what happens after that, it is not my responsibility!

Anyway, Nancy, you want to marry Raven, I want to see how you embarrass yourself in public and become the laughing stock of the entire Nord Province.

It will also let my father know how outrageous his move to marry Raven was!

Just as Gul'dan expected, Nancy couldn't wait and asked Eric to open the box on the carriage on the spot.

The outer carriage was removed, and the inside was filled with cotton for shock absorption. The inner layer was covered with a white satin, which was embroidered with roses in bud!

"I'll do it myself!" Nancy jumped into the carriage with joy, pulling the white silk with her fingers. A trace of uneasiness flashed through her heart. She bit her lips lightly and suddenly opened the curtain.

Light, strong light.

The mirror reflected the sunlight, reflecting Nancy's whole body in it.

She covered her lips slightly with her hands, but the light in her eyes was almost brighter than the sunlight.

Indeed, Nancy was arrogant, reckless, and willful, but this did not mean that she was an idiot. She could see the intention behind Raven's high-profile engagement gift.

But she was willing to cooperate with Raven because he was the person she liked, her future husband.

Nancy was even ready to praise and publicize the gift no matter what it was.

But unexpectedly, she received such a generous gift that was far beyond her expectations!

The mirror was smooth and even, and even after more than 20 days of transportation, it could still reflect people without any falseness.

She could see the joy in her own eyes, the livid face of her brother, and the faces that were so surprised that their mouths were opened and they were completely stunned.

The glory of the angel!

There is no such excellent engagement gift in the entire empire, or even the entire continent!

Gul'dan looked at himself in the mirror, and his mind was spinning.

He didn't care about his manners, rushed to the carriage, opened his mouth unconsciously, and could even see the vegetable leaves left by breakfast between his teeth.

Impossible... Impossible!

Raven, a mere baron, just a baron, how could he come up with such an expensive gift! ?

A mirror that is as high as a door panel and can reflect the whole person.

This is the most beautiful work of art in the world!

He, he actually used this treasure that is enough as a betrothal gift as an engagement gift! ?

Damn it, Raven is really damned! !

This kind of artwork should be produced by our Fox family. Why should the small Griffith family own it? ?

More importantly, how much dowry should the Fox family give to match this wealth?

You know, since the Earl family wants to show its strength, the dowry must be much more valuable than the betrothal gift. This time, Raven not only wants fame, but also wants to cut flesh from the Fox family with a knife.

Those should have been my money!

If I had known that this would happen, Gul'dan would have taken this gift back to the castle first even if he had to tear his face apart.

But now it's too late.

Outside the castle, thousands of people witnessed the charm of Angel's Glory at the same time. They saw their own faces in it, and the screams and shouts were like boiling hot soup.

The eyes of the noble ladies and ladies present showed unconcealed jealousy. They looked at Nancy one by one, wishing to take her place!

"Go to Eagle Territory and find Baron Raven, hurry up!!" A noble suddenly shouted.

Everyone present immediately woke up.

Yes!

Baron Raven can produce such a treasure, so he must be able to produce it.

Maybe it is not as big as this Angel's Glory, but if it is a smaller dressing mirror, it must be there!

This is a business opportunity!

This is a specialty of the Eagle Territory, irreplaceable. No matter how high a price Baron Raven sells it for, he can make money by reselling it to other provinces and countries!

However, at this time, most nobles just sent their servants to explore the situation first.

Because they received such a precious and luxurious gift, the Fox family could not help but hold a cocktail party to celebrate.

This is indeed the case. The cocktail party lasted for three days. Nancy changed into a different custom dress every day, with a happy smile on her face, welcoming everyone's compliments and blessings.

Gul'dan maintained a stiff smile and listened to everyone in the Fox family castle praising a baron who was a dozen years younger than him.

After the cocktail party, the nobles received the news.

Angel's Glory is indeed for sale, but the prerequisite is that you must have the supreme membership of the Snow Maple County Merchant Alliance.

The supreme membership costs 50,000 gold coins!

Even the Viscount family cannot take out so much cash at once.

On the other hand, the most valuable products of the Xuefeng County Business Alliance are the Angel series.

But no matter whether it is Angel's Tears, Angel's Kiss or Angel's Embrace, no one has such a huge demand.

50,000 gold coins, if you buy Angel's Tears, you have to buy nearly 20,000 bottles; Angel's Kiss also needs 500 bottles; if it is Angel's Embrace, it will be 100,000.

However, there is another news that Baron Raven is going to hold another press conference to introduce the new product "Angel's Gift".

For the current Nord Province nobles, press conferences are not new.

Two years ago, the press conference held by Raven was impressive.

After that, all merchants and nobles followed suit. Now it has become a norm not only in Nord Province, but also in surrounding provinces. Similar activities have begun.

The date is set for November 15th.

On November 14, the first snow fell; on the 15th, the nobles’ horses’ hooves melted the snow on the streets without any need to clean up.

Almost all the nobles in the entire Nord Province came. Eagle Castle could not accommodate so many people, but fortunately there was the Pride of the Lion King as a diversion.

The arena changed its schedule, with acrobatics and magic shows during the day and the main venue for the press conference at night.

Raven was already very familiar with how to mobilize the emotions of the audience. After a short speech, he walked off the stage leisurely and ordered his servants to serve the Angel's Gift.

The Angel's Gift is divided into two packages, one transparent and one opaque.

The transparent one is naturally the canned pecan green peach, which looks lovely green and does not need an additional label; the opaque one is the canned brown dace, which is wrapped in coarse cloth, mainly to cover the dead fish eyes that are very unappetizing at first glance.

The canned pecan green peach is delicious. After eating it once, not only can people not feel hungry within five days, but also can directly treat most external injuries. The shelf life is two years, and the price of one can is 9.99 gold coins.

This is undoubtedly the best product for marching and fighting. It is not only delicious, but also can satisfy hunger and heal injuries. It was immediately sought after by many nobles.

You know, in this day and age, it is very expensive to train a real elite soldier. It is a very cost-effective deal to bring back a veteran on the verge of life and death with less than 10 gold coins.

Besides, when did the nobles consider the cost-effectiveness when buying things?

Expensive is right!

When the nobles praised the canned pecans and green peaches, Raven was still watching and echoing from time to time.

When the canned brown dace appeared, Raven left immediately.

This is why the press conference was held at night - dark, so that Raven could evacuate easily.

Even so, when he walked out of the back door, he was still overtaken by the smell of pickled brown dace that almost broke through the top of his head.

That night, after Raven returned to Eagle Castle, he never returned to the press conference site, but according to feedback afterwards, everyone praised the canned brown dace.

The next day, many nobles and merchants spontaneously organized themselves together, and multiple families raised funds and began to order products in the name of the collective to strive for the qualification to purchase Angel's Glory.

The production of canned pecans is relatively limited. The first batch of only 13,000 cans was sold out immediately.

The production of canned brown dace is huge. One can weighs 4.5 pounds, or 2 kilograms. Even after a round of taste testing, there are still more than 200,000 cans in stock, and the price of each can is 50.5 silver coins.

Even with such a large stock, it was sold out.

In addition to the newly added orders for Angel's Tears, Angel's Kiss and Angel's Embrace, the total transaction volume of this press conference reached 278,036 gold coins, bringing Raven a net profit of about 230,000 gold coins.

This made the balance on Raven's account directly break through the 400,000 gold coin mark!

And such a huge sales volume also added five supreme members to the Snow Maple County Business Alliance.

Including the Slater family represented by Hai De, there are now a total of six families who are eligible to purchase Angel's Glory.

All nobles know that the next step is the highlight, and they have saved up a large amount of gold coins, waiting to drink the first mouthful of Angel's Glory soup!

Raven did not start selling immediately, and did not even have a clear selling time. The reason he gave was that the production process of Angel's Glory was complicated, and he did not expect so many people to be willing to buy it, so he needed more time to prepare.

This can indeed convince the nobles that the noble quality of Angel's Glory should indeed take more time.

And listening to Raven's subtext, there is more than one Angel's Glory to be sold this time, which is a great benefit!

Moreover, there are many places to play in Eagle Town, and there are constant wine parties every day, which will not make the nobles feel bored.

The time came to November 28, the day when Angel's Glory started to be sold.

On this day, representatives of the six supreme members were invited to Eagle Castle.
