Chapter 67: Swift Sword and Starspotted Snow Root

"Open the box."

Lacas ordered, "Put it in front of Mr. Willy."

Willy narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Wearing clean white gloves, the old butler gently opened the wooden box, and then the two guards brought the opened wooden box to Willy's eyes.

Willy first glanced at Lacas, saw his smile, and then turned to look inside the wooden box.

"Is this... a swift sword..."

Willy also showed a look of amazement.

Inside the wooden box, there was a slender swift sword with a radiant edge. It was about one meter long, and the hilt was black copper. At the end of the hilt, a black gem was inlaid. The swift sword is also called the rapier, and is called the sword of the dress. It's slim in appearance, but it's not actually light in weight.

Beside the Swift Sword, there are three handguards, which are crab claw handguards with upward hooks, semicircular handguards composed of three rings, and a scallop-shaped handguard. The handguards here are not armors such as gloves, but armors that can be installed between the hilt and the blade to protect the palm.

Under the gauntlet, there is also a black scabbard and a silver sword ring. When the Swift Sword is worn as a decoration in public, most of the sword rings are used, which exposes the beautiful and sharp blade. When the swift sword is not in use, it is mostly placed in the scabbard, which is beneficial to the maintenance of the blade.

"It's the first time we meet, Mr. Willy's gift for this gift."

Lakas's tone was gentle, and the gesture of giving gifts was neither too humble to please, nor arrogant, and he was quite precise.

Although I don't know how much this Swift Sword is worth, Willy is sure that it is very expensive. The black gem on the hilt alone is worth at least two hundred gold rams.

"If that's the case, then I'll accept it."

Willy is not pretentious or insists on the principle of no merit and no reward, and receiving gifts also marks a step closer to the friendship between him and the Duval family.

Seeing Willy accepting the Swift Sword, Lakas' eyes flashed with joy.

Next, Willy and the Lacas father and son had a pleasant exchange, and the meal did not end until more than an hour later.

"Mr. Willy, are you interested in visiting our Duval family's cherished plant collection?"

During the conversation, Lacus asked Willy.

Finlay used this excuse to invite Willy before.

"certainly."

Willy naturally did not refuse.

Before, Willy had been thinking about planting high-value grass from Fandoutun. At first, he wanted to transplant some rare grasses that could be mass-produced from the Boler Forest, and then sell them when they were mature. However, Willy changed his mind the moment Finlay came into contact with him. Because a more convenient road appeared in front of him.

As a big herb dealer, the Duval family can better grasp the market conditions of herbs. Maybe you can grow rare grasses that others can't feed, but if the market demand is insufficient, what's the use of planting them, and the price will still be greatly discounted. In this way, it is better to use the market channels of the Duval family to grow some high-priced and hard-to-find medicinal herbs. This way, you don't have to worry about profits or sales channels.

Led by Lacas and Finlay, a few people came to a room more than five meters high.

The whole house is made of stone, and there is no wooden decoration in sight. As soon as Willy saw it, he knew that it was designed for fire protection.

The guard opened the door, and the Lacus and his son Finlay walked in one after another.

As soon as he entered, Willy saw rows of neatly arranged grass specimens.

They have been dehydrated and air-dried and placed in glass bottles. Although the glass bottle is mixed and not pure, it is extremely expensive in this era, and it is simply not affordable for the common people.

"Dew fenugreek, Michiyama leaves, Licorice..."

Willy didn't need two people to lead him, he looked down the rows of grass specimens.

The more he looked, the more surprised he became. Almost every one of these plant specimens was very rare. Some plant specimens were not even found in Pohler Forest and Morse Forest, but only existed in Willy's memory. It must have taken a lot of effort for the Duval family to get so many planting specimens.

"As expected of the Divar family..."

Willie sighed in admiration.

A rare look of pride appeared on Lacas' face. This is the collection of the entire Divar family for hundreds of years. It represents the desire of the Duval family for the precious plants in the world.

"This is……"

Suddenly, Willy saw a small pile of dark gray seeds placed in a transparent glass, roughly fifty or sixty seeds.

"Is this the seed of the star-spotted snow root?"

Willy looked at Lacas.

Lacas was surprised: "You actually know this?"

Xingxuegen is an extremely rare medicinal material Its rhizomes and leaves contain a very beneficial substance to the human body. Taking it for a long time can even change the quality of the human body and make ordinary people reborn. It is said that the Earl of Lumbar will take Star Spotted Snow Root at a fixed time to ensure that the aging of body functions is delayed.

However, although the effect of the star-spotted snow root is amazing, it is difficult to grow. At least in the province of Davible under the Earl of Rumbar, there are only a few plantings where it can be grown. The Duval family has also tried to reclaim special land for planting stellaria, but the results are all unsuccessful. In desperation, the Divar family could only choose to give up.

The reason why Lacas was surprised that Willy was able to recognize the star-spotted snow root is because the star-spotted snow root is too rare. For most people, this is an unfamiliar term that they have never heard of, let alone. Say you know what it looks like. And Willy just glanced at it and recognized that it was the seed of Xingxuegen. If it was Lakas himself, he might not be able to see it at a glance. After all, the seeds of too many plants are too similar. .

Seeing Lacas' reaction, Willy knew that he had acted a little too much, but he remained calm and just smiled: "I just happened to have heard of this thing."

Lacas pursed his lips, and did not continue to ask, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked at Willy.

He just thought that Willy was better before, but at this moment, it gave people a feeling that it was not very real.

"Xingbanxuegen, it's really a good thing, it's a pity..." Lakas changed the subject, and a trace of regret appeared on his face, "It's just that my Divar family has gone through two generations, but I still can't put it away. planted..."

Willy was silent, and a balanced look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
