"Lord Claire, the match between Mason and Ona is about to start. It's inside the Jewelry Guild. Do you want to go over and take a look?" Calen said with a smile on his face.
The reason why Calen laughed so happily was because Ona originally did not intend to compete with Mason. He said he felt that he would lose his status. Later, after he spread the news that Ona was afraid, within a day, Ona angrily posted a message saying that he accepted the competition with Mason.
He also threatened to completely defeat Mason and let him know the gap between him and himself before. What he said before was not unfounded. Mason was just a lucky boy.
After hearing the news, Calen almost laughed out of his back teeth. After listening to the analysis given to him by Claire, he felt that this competition would be beneficial to his side without any harm.
Other jewelers tried their best to suppress the news, and some even came to the door in person to ask Ona to withdraw his words of accepting the challenge. They can't afford to lose. Even if they lose, don't lose so quickly. You have to give them some time to prepare.
But with Ona's temper, those people were scolded bloody and kicked out of the door.
So the "The War of New vs. Old" announced by Mason at the press conference also kicked off at this time. Under the deliberate promotion of Calen, almost everyone in Mary Port has begun to pay attention to this game.
"No, it's been so long since I came to Mary Port that I haven't had a chance to go out for a walk." Claire put down the drink in his hand and stood up.
"After Mason finishes this matter, I'm going back to Nafu City, so let's take this opportunity to hang out."
Although he didn't understand what Claire was thinking, Calen still said respectfully, "Okay, sir, do you need me to send someone to guide you?"
"No, I prefer hanging out." Claire walked towards the door and said before going out, "Just tell me the results when you come back."
"Understood, sir." Calen saluted Claire.
Claire didn't lie. He has been here for more than two weeks, and he hasn't really walked around here properly. He only checked the information of the jewelers and jewelry masters here at home, and when he went out, he also went to Mary Port's various places about jewelry to do research.
After leaving Mina Jewelry Shop's main store, Claire randomly chose a direction and wandered around.
He liked to wander around aimlessly like this. After walking for a few minutes, Claire also saw the style and characteristics of the city here. It was basically the same as other trading port cities, and everything in the city was bustling and lively. The style and characteristics are the living habits and hobbies of the people living here. Claire saw that there are many stalls here selling some local specialties, most of which are some jewelry. This is also Mary Port's main industry. There are also passers-by holding special tea sets that are not found elsewhere, making drinks that are not common in other places, and drinking leisurely.
Claire After walking aimlessly for a few minutes, he saw a group of people gathering in a tavern, and there were lively roars from time to time.
Claire who was outside also became slightly curious after hearing this, and walked in slowly.
Putting his elbows on the wooden bar and leaning on it, Claire stared at the people gathered behind him who were discussing something, and asked without looking back, "What are they doing?"
Claire doesn't look bad either. After asking, the female bartender at the bar abandoned the customers in front of her and walked towards Claire.
He replied with a smile on his face, "Isn't this the duel between Master Mason and Master Ona in the Jewelry Guild? They are discussing who can win there."
"Look at the crystal ball, inside is the scene of the synchronized trade union." The beautiful bartender stretched out her white finger next to Claire's cheek.
Only then did Claire notice that there was a crystal ball the size of a head in the center where those people were sitting.
"How about it? Are you interested? You can also bet on who can win."
Claire turned around and smiled, "No, I don't gamble."
Seeing Claire's face, the smile on the female bartender's face became even happier. She raised her eyebrows at Claire, "Then what kind of drink are you going to have?"
Claire was about to say that he was not a drinker, but he thought of the pub here, so he took out a glass of Silver Dragon Coins and put it on the bar, and replied, "Give me a glass of what you are good at."
After the female bartender saw Silver Dragon Coins, she looked at Claire again with love in her eyes. It's not that Claire can be installed, but that he really doesn't have the currency of this country, and a Silver Dragon Coins is really nothing to him.
"Okay, here we go!"
After a while, the female bartender brought a glass of mixed blue and red wine and placed it in front of Claire.
He smiled and said, "Please taste it."
Claire picked it up, took a sip, and praised, "It's not bad." In fact, he didn't know the quality of the wine at all, he just gave a polite compliment.
But after the female bartender heard it, she became excited like a child who had been praised.
"What do you think of the relationship between Master Mason... and Master Ona?" Claire asked.
"What about this?" The female bartender raised her head and thought about it, showed a nice smile, and said with a smile, "Don't pay attention, anyway, whether they win or lose will not affect my salary of ten Gold Coins a month."
Claire also laughed, "That's right."
After the female bartender wiped the wine stains on the bar, she pointed to the crowd and said, "If you are interested, you can ask the guy inside. He is also a jewelry designer and should know a little more than me."
Claire's eyes returned to the crowd just now, and at a glance he saw a man in white with a red face inside who was giving a speech excitedly.
"I'm telling you! It's absolutely right to suppress Master Mason!"
"He is the new direction of the jewelry design industry in the future. He cannot lose!"
"Don't tell me how strong Master Ona is. Now is the era of simplicity. I have learned a lot from Master Mason's ideas, so Master Mason will win this competition!"
"Don't say I'm bluffing you. I'm a professional jewelry designer. Now it's a battle between old and new ideas. I know who has a greater chance of winning. I've put all my wealth on Master Mason. Do you want to follow me?"
"New things are destined to beat old things, so this time Master Mason will win!"
Listening to the words of the man in white, the onlookers were also very excited, and they all put their money on Mason.
The female bartender stretched out her hand and poked Claire on the shoulder, and said again, "How? Do you want to give it a try? You are so rich, it would be good to bet a few Gold Coins to let yourself experience the exciting feeling."
Claire shook his head, "No, I don't like probabilistic events."
And those few Gold Coins can't bring him any excitement. If he really wants to bring excitement, then suppress it by yourself, which can scare the boss at the beginning to death.
"The jewelry designer said that Master Mason is more likely to win. He is a professional, so it is not considered a probability event, right?"
"Master Mason may not be as confident as him." Claire smiled, let alone Mason, even he, who planned it all, can't say who can win now.
It stands to reason that Mason is weaker than Ona. He has been the number one in the jewelry industry for more than ten years for nothing, but Claire asked Mason to expose the things between him and Ona. The current public opinion and situation are more favorable to Mason, so it is really difficult to judge who can win.
"Hahahaha." The female bartender covered her mouth and laughed, "What you say is really interesting."
Claire looked back at the man in white, nodded, and walked out of the tavern.
The man in white thinks too simply. This is not just a simple battle of ideas, but even if it is a battle of ideas, it is not a simple strange truth that the new is destined to win over the old.
