Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 176: Hailan's Pride
"Let me try this," Constance took the gem from Ivy's hand, "I'm also a half-elf, so I should be able to do it, right?"

"Maybe I'll have better luck than her."

Ivy was a little speechless: "This is not a blind box. The things inside were packed by those guys from the Hailan Empire hundreds of years ago. I hope I can get some luck..."

"That's what they say on the circus wheels," Constance shrugged. "You can never be sure of that."

"But... why can't this be correct? Could it be fake?"

"Don't talk nonsense, this was found by my teacher himself," Aiksuri couldn't sit still, "You are trying to 'exclude' him!"

"It's slander." Victoria slapped her forehead.

"That's what I mean," the young black dragon slapped the ground with its tail impatiently, "I've learned so many languages ​​from my teacher these days that I'm all 'Kun Yao'!"

Ron understood what he said. This guy was deliberately speaking Elvish with a heavy accent.

"Try turning the slate over again," Ron helped. "Its two sides correspond to magical items from different sources, so they are divided into front and back sides."

When Constance turned the slate over, the pink gem was immediately embedded into it, and a gorgeous and noble necklace immediately appeared in her hand.

"What a huge pink diamond!" Even the half-elf who had lived in a wealthy merchant house for decades couldn't help but sigh in amazement, "It's unbelievable!"

This light purple pink diamond was definitely the largest one used in the necklace. When Ron took it, he felt it was heavy. And if detection magic was used, the magic aura revealed on it was even stronger than that of the kite-shaped shield.

"Don't just look at the pink diamond," Sylvia said, "look at it, what is it strung together?"

"Amber, bloodstone, citrine, coral, emerald, pearl, quartz..." Constance listed the names of every bead on the necklace like a treasure. Even she had never owned such precious jewelry.

"This must be the property of some noble lady in the Hailan Empire!" She exclaimed, "Look at these, there are even blue crystals, black pearls and topaz on them - these are real magical materials. I can't imagine who in Rose City is so rich that they can own such a piece of jewelry!"

"So it doesn't belong to Rose City, but to Hailan, a short-lived but extremely powerful empire. And the name of this jewelry is the Pride of Hailan." Ron was also amazed at the preciousness of the necklace, but what amazed him even more was the magic on this treasure.

"This piece of jewelry belongs to the only princess of the Hailan Empire. In order to ensure the safety of this noble who loves fighting, the best craftsmen in the empire made this necklace. Almost every gem on it contains a spell, which the holder can cast once a day." Ron read out the results of the appraisal like reading the names of dishes, "Mark Slash, Summon Mount, Secondary Restoration, Magic Weapon, Protection from Toxins, Realm of Honesty..."

"And this largest pink diamond can release a six-ring spell-nullifying barrier and one of the command spells!"

"It's like having a dozen holy warriors tied to your body!" Ron licked his lips. "I guess if the craftsman's level wasn't so high as to infuse higher-level magic while keeping the gems intact, there might even be a meteor explosion inside this necklace!"

"The only eldest princess..." Several people with elven blood present looked at each other, "Isn't that only Princess Orianna?" "The woman who messed up the rules of gladiatorial combat? Oh my god, it's really her!" Ivy shouted in disgust, "If that's the case, it's not surprising that she wears such a necklace!"

"What do you mean?" Ron was confused. "What does this have to do with gladiatorial combat?"

"You mean 'love of fighting'," Constance explained. "She contributed to the existence of the gladiatorial tradition in the western city-states."

"She really likes the arena, especially beast and monster fights, and she often participates in them. I used to regard her as my idol, but now looking back..."

Ivy curled her lips: "Beat the beasts and amputate the monsters, and then put them in the arena to compete with her. Can this be considered a fight? It's just to satisfy her own desires!"

"I'm so glad for you, Connie, that you can now see the true nature of those 'fights' that were read as 'shows'."

"One of the most famous scandals of the princess was fighting a giant antler deer with bare hands. Then what happened? The deer's horns were sawed off and its two hind legs were broken! She beat the deer to death with her fists!"

"She was knocked to the ground by a deer. I was there and bought a ticket," Yelena interrupted. "She then forced everyone to applaud and cheer for her. Imperial citizens who didn't do so would be whipped, and slaves would be killed directly - more than 300 slaves were executed that day."

"I was spared from this torture because of my diplomatic immunity - what are you looking at? I hadn't completely left the Shadowless Underworld at that time, and I went to Hailan to perform official duties."

Sylvia hugged her shoulders. "Didn't you try to...rescue the slaves present?"

"Why should I..." Yelena was about to answer, but when she turned her head, she met a pair of blood-red eyes that were almost burning. "Okay, okay, I actually tried a little bit."

"After all, the Hailan Empire was at its peak at that time! She was the eldest princess! I am just an ordinary shadow spirit. If you must say something higher, I am just a shadow dancer. I really have no power."

"Why don't you mention your noble family bloodline at this time?" Ivy couldn't help but tease.

"I..." Yelena smiled bitterly, "You're not going to force me to tell you why it's not okay, are you?"

Some things may be enough to fool outsiders, but if their family can really gain influence and attract people from all directions, then what will the Ryan family have a chance to do?
If we really want to do something, everyone will be embarrassed.

Fortunately, Sylvia only expressed her dissatisfaction, and did not intend to really blame Ying Ling for this, so the matter was just brushed aside. She looked at the necklace in Ron's hand and said, "So, congratulations to my benefactor for having another treasure?"

"After all, you also need such a multifunctional magic item for self-defense, don't you? This will undoubtedly help you."
