Chapter: 351:?Silk and Porcelain created a sensation!
The noble housekeeper’s words instantly aroused doubts in the surroundings.
“Is it true??A hundred thousand gold coins for a foot of this cloth,?is?this cloth made of gold?”
A commoner exclaimed.
A commoner’s clothes were usually only four to six feet long. Some differences were depending on whether it was male, female, or body size, but it was roughly within this range.
Even in the Eternal Night Empire, the commoners only had a few tens of silver coins for each piece of thin clothing. The thick clothes for the winter only had a few gold coins for each piece. These thick clothes were usually worn for a long time, several years, or even more.
And silk was a very thin cloth at first glance.
Based on the clothes of the commoners, the cloth used for their clothes would not exceed 10 silver coins per foot.
100 silver coins were equal to only one gold coin.
But now, this noble housekeeper said that a foot was worth 100,000 gold coins!
Heavens!
Wouldn’t a piece of clothing cost several hundred thousand gold coins?
No, there was also the processing fee.
The more expensive the fabric, the more expensive the processing cost.
No one?needs to think to know that a piece of clothing made from this kind of silk would cost… millions of gold coins.
Some civilians felt suffocated when they thought of this number.
Heavens!
One million gold coins for a piece of clothing.
It was still very thin cloth!
These civilians did not dare to imagine it!
Subconsciously, they couldn’t believe it!
—A million gold coins, which was 10 tons of gold, a total of 20,000 pounds!
Heavens!
“Even if this cloth was made of gold, it wouldn’t be worth that much.”
A commoner muttered.

Duke Laurent shouldn’t be lying, right? This kind of silk is Otherwise, Duke Laurent wouldn’t have dared to give it to the Emperor!”
At this moment, a small noble recognized the nobleman with silk on the carriage.
“It’s Duke Laurent. I remember. A while ago, I heard a count show off saying that he spent a million gold coins to buy a priceless piece of clothing. Could it be silk?”
Another noble recalled.
“I wonder if Duke Laurent’s daughter, Miss Annie, who is known as the most dazzling pearl in the Eastern Six Provinces, has come.”
After a noble and learned of Duke Laurent, the topic immediately changed.
There were two types of dukes in the Eternal Night Empire. One was a duke within the Eternal Night Empire?who had not been conferred a title of the kingdom but also had a vast territory. Duke Lauren was such a duke. The other was the dukes of the Human Kingdom around the Eternal Night Empire. These dukes were the masters of a kingdom?and enjoyed a kingdom alone.
“I also want to know that Duke Laurent is willing to give up. He pulled a whole truckload of silk with a foot of 100,000 gold coins.”
“That’s right, that’s right. I don’t know where this silk is made from, but it’s so expensive. It’s unbelievable.”
The onlookers immediately started discussing.
It didn’t take long for the crowd on the streets to find out that Duke Laurent had brought a cloth called silk to the emperor. It was a hundred thousand gold coins afoot!
Not long after, this news spread throughout the entire capital city and even the Eternal Night Empire.
In the Eternal Night Empire, the items pursued by the nobles would drive countless small and medium-sized nobles crazy.
That was why Duke Laurent’s display of silk had spread throughout the empire as quickly as possible after the emperor’s millennium birthday, attracting the attention of countless nobles.
From now on, the way the nobles compared was not more than who wore gold and silver jewelry, but who could wear a silk dress!
A large number of nobles holding large amounts of gold coins wanted to buy a few feet of silk.
Of course, this was later.
“Duke Laurent has made a big splash this time. I’ve long heard that a type of silk has appeared in the three provinces in the east. Not only is it beautiful, but it also has a magical affinity effect on it. It’s even more expensive than all of our fabrics. Unfortunately, I’m too late. I didn’t buy it even twice the price.”
The other duke felt a little jealous when he saw Grand Duke Laurent’s reputation for a bunch of silk.
The duke’s words revealed some information.
After the silk had arrived in this world, quite a several changes had taken place.
This was a world of magic.
Magic elements were everywhere.
The silk was not mixed with any artificial elements. It was a bit similar to the cloth made from the substances extracted from plants by the elves and had a good magical affinity.
It?was exceptionally comfortable to wear.
This made silk more popular in this world.
Especially some nobles who were sorcerers.
In this world, nobles were noble.
Magisters?were even nobler.
Things that were both sought after naturally attracted the attention of others!
Although most people simply couldn’t afford it.
However, they did not need to be able to afford it.
All they needed to know was that this was a very expensive item, and the noble’s vanity could be satisfied.
The Duke said:
“However, although there is?no silk?bit?I have another thing. Housekeeper, tell someone to open the carriage. We can’t let Duke Laurent take all the limelight by himself.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Under the orders of the butler, a few soldiers began to remove the cloth from the carriage.
“Hey, that’s Duke Victor’s convoy. Look, Duke Victor’s carriage is about to be uncovered. Let’s see what kind of treasure Duke Victor will give this time!”
Some commoners saw the movements of the soldiers and looked over.
Then, they saw that after the cover was opened, what was placed on the carriage was neither gold jewelry nor silk.
It was bowls, plates, and other dishes.
“Eh
, why did Duke Victor give the tableware to His Majesty? What kind of tableware is this? It looks so beautiful.”A commoner was surprised.
Soon, he knew that there was more than tableware on the carriage.
There were vases, cups, and other utensils.
These things all had a common characteristic.
It was white, very white, and there were exquisite flowers on it. These flowers looked particularly bright, making these tools look exceptionally exquisite!
It was likely that the tools made of gold were not as exquisite as these tools!
“Porcelain! This is a kind of Porcelain from the three eastern provinces. It’s said that a set of tableware made of Porcelain is worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and it might not even be able to be bought. I’ve only heard of Porcelain, but I’ve never seen it before. I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful. I won’t be able to do it. When I get back, I’ll send someone to the eastern provinces to buy them even for a million gold coins!”
A middle-class noble shouted.
Porcelain!
This?word was?quite unfamiliar to the people from the Imperial City of the Eternal?Night Empire.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut soon, the word was no longer unfamiliar. It became a word that the nobles kept muttering to themselves.
Every noble would dream of a set of Porcelain cutlery!
The beauty of Porcelain was visible.
The fetus was as thin as paper, transparent and dense. There were flower patterns in full bloom on it or lifelike divine bird patterns. It looked so exquisite!
Eating with this kind of Porcelain was probably more fragrant than using a bowl made of gold!
All of a sudden, countless people turned their gazes over.
Compared to silk, Porcelain was cheaper, but it was also an absolute luxury.
It was something only nobles could enjoy.
Of course, in the City of Miracles, Porcelain was more common.
But on the side of the Eternal Night Empire, this complete set of Porcelain was definitely out of print.
No one knew how much Duke Victor had spent to collect this set of Porcelain!
“I didn’t expect Duke Victor to get a complete set of Porcelain. Humph, although Porcelain is also rare, its value is much lower than my silk.”
On the other hand, Duke Laurent did not mind.
But the things that the two dukes had brought out had opened the eyes of all the surrounding nobles.
The other Dukes, who still gave them gold jewelry were a lot more valuable but compared to the two of them, they were instantly reduced by a level.
If Lin Yan were to use the words of the world before he transmigrated, this would be called force!
Sending silk porcelain, it was instantly different.
It had nothing to do with value or price!
The other dukes continued to display the gold and jewels on their carriages.
However, regardless of whether it was the commoners or the nobles, although they were still looking, they were already talking about silk and porcelain.
Many nobles were asking how they could obtain these two items.
It could be said that silk and porcelain had already made a big splash in the Eternal Night Empire and caused a stir!
“Queen, the capital of the Eternal Night Empire has arrived.”
.
On the flying ship, the Eldest Princess pointed at a huge city.
Meng Ying nodded.
After flying for a day and a half they?finally arrived at the Imperial City of the Eternal Night Empire!
