Chapter 164: Jade Sword (3/4)
Krober carefully placed the elf bugs and elves into two special boxes to ensure that they would not be damaged again during the transfer process.
Then, he decided to leave the insect room and go outside to inspect the progress of the Black Feather Island soldiers' looting.
The most important thing was to see how many precious items and wealth the Crab Claw Family had accumulated over the past few hundred years.
When he came to the open space of the castle, the scene in front of him shocked him.
The entire open space was filled with various treasures and currencies, which were the foundation accumulated by the Crab Claw Family over the years.
There were gems, jewelry, various artworks and magic props piled up on it.
Among them, the gems were some magic equipment that had been made into finished products, mainly in red, blue and green.
Among them, rubies and sapphires were produced from the Blazing Steel Kingdom, while emeralds were produced by the Emerald Dragon of the Emerald Kingdom.
This did not include the gem equipment on Lucas. As a nail left here by Krober, he still needed to maintain a normal level on the surface.
So Krober changed the previously designated "empty the Red Crab Island" plan, and only plundered metal coins, magic potions, elves, talents, various equipment, and some ships back to his own territory.
And the Red Crab Family's savings over the past hundred years did not disappoint Krober.
These gemstone equipment alone are worth millions of gold coins.
The Crab Claw Family's gold coin reserves are less than Krober imagined.
Although the Crab Claw Family has a strong ability to make money, there are many places where gold coins need to be spent on weekdays, so after searching the entire castle, only about two million gold coins were found.
It may seem a lot to pile up on the open space, but compared with the hundreds of years of history of the Crab Claw Family, it seems too scarce.
But this money is enough for Krober to survive this difficult period.
When the construction of the three islands is completed, the supply and demand relationship of the territory will change from import to export, and then it will be time for him to lie at home and count money.
These alone are not all the property of the Crab Claw Family.
Because these are just found in the castle.
After searching the castle, Kroeber will lead the soldiers to search other places on Red Crab Island.
Presumably, the results of the battle will satisfy him.
At present, Kroeber only has a sapphire ring and a emerald ring on him, and the ruby equipment that increases strength has not been allocated.
So Kroeber selected a ruby bracelet from the dozen gem equipment and put it on his wrist.
The dozen gem equipment are all standard, without defective products, so there is no difference in essence, but the appearance may be different.
"Well... take two for Grandpa Foster. This emerald bracelet and sapphire forehead protector are good. Take them for the old man."
Once he got good things, Kroeber subconsciously wanted to get a few for his old man.
When fighting pirates before, Kroeber looted the Black Feather Family's spoils, and he gave one of the ruby rings to Grandpa Foster.
Now that he is rich, he naturally has to continue to select a few pieces for the old man.
With only these three types of gems, Clober still felt that the variety was too few.
When he returned to Black Feather Island, he must recruit a magician who was proficient in alchemy and potion making.
Although Samuel was diligent, he was not proficient in alchemy. For example, he could not make the deep purple gems on Amethyst Island into gem equipment.
Making gems into gem equipment does not mean making them into jewelry.
Since gems themselves do not have the characteristics of restoring magic power, magicians need to engrave magic arrays on the equipment that can automatically absorb magic factors so that gems can be reused.
Even if Deep Purple is a magic dragon, the gems it is soaked in are the same.
Putting the gift he chose for Mr. Foster into his arms, Clober was suddenly attracted by one of the items.
It was a one-handed knight sword that looked quite eye-catching.
The sword body was bright silver, and only the small section near the hilt was emerald green.
The hilt of the sword is wrapped in dark brown monster skin, decorated with dark gold magic metal, which makes it more majestic.
The sword body flashes cold light in the sun, and the sharp tip of the sword is enough to show its sharpness.
A new gem that Krober has never seen is inlaid on the hilt of the sword.
And this gem is the culprit that attracted Krober's attention.
"Is this emerald?"
Unlike ordinary emeralds, the gem inlaid on this long sword is more transparent and the color looks more noble.
Unlike emeralds without a trace of impurities, emerald is not a flawless gem.
He raised the long sword, and under the sunlight, the texture inside the emerald was clearly visible. Krober had only seen this scene on emeralds.
The surface of the emerald feels a little cold, but when combined with human body temperature, it has a warm feeling.
It contrasts with the metal material of the hilt, forming a unique beauty.
The combination of the hardness of metal and the softness of jade perfectly reflects the hardness and softness of the one-handed knight sword.
"The origin of this sword is not simple..."
In the Jade Kingdom, jade is not just a magic gem, it is also a symbol of power and status.
The king of the Emerald Kingdom, Alvis Emerald Light, rides an Emerald Dragon.
And the dragons ridden by the kings of each generation of the Emerald Kingdom are also Emerald Dragons.
In other words, only those who are recognized by the Emerald Dragon can become the king of the Emerald Kingdom.
"Good sword, it's mine now."
Taking off the knight's sword on his waist, Krober replaced it with this sword inlaid with emerald.
"Not bad, it looks very suitable for me."
"I remember that the Emerald Dragon, like the Deep Purple, is a superior dragon species of all green mineral dragons. In this case, you should be called Green Jade."
Green Jade, no special meaning, refers to green jade.
It happened that Lucas had gathered the members of the Crab Claw Family at this time, and was waiting for the soldiers of Black Feather Island to escort them to the ship after looting.
He saw the Green Jade Sword hanging on Krober's waist at a glance.
In order to get closer, he stepped forward and explained the origin of the Green Jade Sword in person.
It turns out that this sword was a weapon given by the old king to the Crab Claw family when they swore allegiance to King Alvis' father, the previous king, after they discovered Red Crab Island.
The first generation of Viscount Crab Claw used this weapon until he died on the battlefield.
The second generation of Viscount began to use a greatsword as his weapon, so he put this one-handed sword in the warehouse.
I don't know if it was influenced by the second generation of Viscount, but since then, most of the members of the Crab Claw family have chosen to use two-handed greatswords as their weapons.
And the remaining people who use one-handed swords don't have the status and honor to use this royal sword.
It wasn't until Krober came to Red Crab Island that this sword was able to see the light of day again.
