Chapter 322 This is clearly my Roman Glass King!
The cup in Lu Ban's hand was precisely cut into two perfect semicircles, attracting people from all around to gather around.
Someone exclaimed: "There is not a single crack on this cup, it is as smooth as a mirror!"
The Roman caravan fell silent. Indeed, the rim of the cup was as smooth as a polished stone, and it was dazzling under the sunlight.
After the warrior swung his sword, everyone immediately surrounded him.
The eyes of the members of the Roman caravan were all focused on the fracture.
"There's not even a trace of texture here!"
“This glass cup is pure and flawless, and the cut is much smoother than our own works.”
“If it were in Rome, it would be the king of glass!”
"Not really. The captain won't lie to us."
After a brief silence, the caravan members suddenly realized.
Did the captain deliberately deceive us in order to win the bet?
Does he think we've been defeated?
The members of the Roman caravan were full of doubts. Seeing this, the captain felt a tightness in his heart and a sense of foreboding arose.
Oops.
When the people of Daqin saw the embarrassed expressions of the Roman caravan, they immediately began to talk and point fingers excitedly.
"Haha! This glass cup has no patterns on it. It's not from Rome at all!"
"Do you guys still have any sense of shame?"
"How dare you say it's from Rome? You didn't expect that we in the Great Qin have a more superior glass cup!"
The ridicule from the surrounding people made the captain and members of the Roman caravan feel quite embarrassed.
This matter was extremely shameful to them, and the captain's mood fell to the bottom.
If you lose, you have to fulfill the bet.
If he fails to fulfill his obligations, his reputation will be damaged and subsequent tasks will be difficult.
Lu Ban looked at them with a playful look in his eyes and said:
"Let me tell you, our Great Qin's glass craftsmanship is far superior to yours. You Roman cups, just give them to your children as toys!"
Faced with Lu Ban's ridicule, the captain of the caravan was furious but helpless.
After solving the problem of the Roman merchant, Lu Ban turned to look at his father behind him, who looked much more relaxed.
"Thank you Master Luban!"
"No thanks needed."
Lu Ban smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Now the problem has been solved. Everyone should go back to your own business and don't let these people delay your farming."
Just as Master Lu Ban was calming the emotions of the people around him, a deafening shout suddenly came from a distance.
"How can you leave? Do you think this little trick can be hidden from the eyes of the Romans?"
Lu Ban immediately turned around and saw a man leading a large number of guards rushing towards them.
Everyone in the Roman caravan also looked in the direction of the sound.
"It's His Highness Cade! He's coming with his guards!"
"Great! Let's see if these Qin people dare to act so arrogantly again!"
The captain of the caravan was all smiles, saying that such a guard was undoubtedly a timely help.
He immediately went forward excitedly.
As Cade approached, Lu Ban could sense the tension in the air. He stared at Cade and asked, "I wonder what is the important matter that has brought you here today? On the land of Daqin, private troops cannot be mobilized at will."
Kate sneered and did not respond to Lu Ban. Instead, he picked up the broken pieces of the colored glaze tablet on the ground and took the broken glass from Lu Ban's hand. He stared at the colored glaze cup in his hand, his eyes becoming complicated and unpredictable.
Then he sighed and said, "I know this glass cup!"
Upon hearing this, the captain of the caravan quickly asked, "Your Highness, do you recognize him?"
"That's right!"
Kate said firmly: "This is the glass cup that my master spent his entire life practicing and constantly refining with countless glass cups. This cup was praised by my master as the 'King of Glass'!"
Having said that, he looked at Lu Ban and the warriors around him with anger on his face.
"But this glass cup was stolen by the ignorant Qin people. Now it was finally found, but it was smashed into two pieces by you. You Qin people are really powerful!"
These words shocked everyone present.
The people of Qin were shocked by Prince Kate's shameless behavior. They had never seen such a brazen person.
The Roman caravan captain and other merchants were surprised by the object's connection with Rome.
The captain immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Your Highness, is this really our Roman thing?"
"Of course, would I admit my mistake? This is the 'King of Glaze' that the Imperial Master has put all his efforts into making. If it's not mine, how can it belong to the Qin people?"
Prince Kate seemed to think this was a joke and glanced at Lu Ban with contempt.
"With these inferior craftsmen in Qin, with their habit of regarding feces as treasures, can they create something like this? Only we Romans can do this!"
Kate's words were full of consideration, and he obviously knew that the glass cup was not a product of Rome.
However, he firmly believed that the Qin Dynasty could not produce another treasure of the same quality.
Therefore, as long as you insist that the cup comes from Rome, even if you cannot force the other party to pay compensation, you can at least free yourself from the constraints of the gambling.
In Kate's eyes, in order to prevent defeat, the Qin Dynasty hurriedly contacted the emperor and took out their most precious treasures.
There is probably only one such treasure in the world. With such exquisite quality, it can be called the pinnacle of colored glaze and its value is inestimable!
Upon hearing this, Lu Ban was furious. He had never expected that the other party would have such a cunning retreat.
He stared at Kate and asked, "Are you sure this cup is really from Rome?"
Kate said confidently, "Yes, this is not only from Rome, but also the ingenuity of our national master! This unique King of Colored Glaze was created by our distinguished national master with countless efforts! But now it has been destroyed by you. I demand that Daqin give me a reasonable explanation!"
"You must at least compensate us for the three cities first, otherwise don't blame us for fighting!"
Kate's expression was, if not provocative, then too hateful.
The people around were eager to try, but were stopped by Lu Ban.
"So this glass cup is really from Rome. I was wondering how the people of Daqin could have such a fine product. I don't believe their taste can create such a divine artifact."
"Besides, I think this should be the King of Glass. The overlord of Glass should come from us Rome, so the real King of Glass must appear among us!"
At first, the caravan members had doubts about whether the glass cup came from Rome.
After all, the captain's lie not long ago made them extremely embarrassed.
But seeing the firm stance of Crown Prince Kate and the powerful force behind him, they immediately became encouraged and firmly believed that the Crown Prince would not deceive them.
Even if the Crown Prince is really cheating, so what?
He is Roma's number two after all!
In the face of such powerful forces, their resistance is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
At this moment, Kate had only one thought in her mind, which was to settle the matter as soon as possible!
It is best to take this opportunity to completely suppress the opponent.
Once the news reaches the ears of the Qin Emperor, he only needs to show his strength and then use this as an excuse to demand compensation, and it will be a perfect victory!
We can even use this incident to force Qin to hand over the Mohist people. Why not do it?
So he mobilized his guards and surrounded Lu Ban, intending to use Lu Ban as a breakthrough point to take action.
