Time flew by quickly, and in the bl

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the grandfather clock within the hall rang eleven times, signifying that it was now 11 in the morning.

“Is Hogg at home?” A clear voice rang out. The Baruch manor had no guards, so clearly, this person had already arrived within the manor grounds.

Hogg frowned, placing down the thick tome in front of him. “Linley, today we’ll come to a stop here.” Revealing a wisp of a smile, Hogg turned around and walked towards the guest hall.

“Ah, Hogg, my dear friend! Just the other day, I heard the clothspinner bird’s cry, and I just knew that something good was going to happen. Indeed, by noon, I received your missive, and as soon as I read it, I was overjoyed.”

“Dear Philip, I am very happy to see you as well. Hillman, quickly go and bring me the stone sculpture, ‘Fierce Lion’. Philip, come, let’s go to the main hall and wait. The sculpture will be here shortly.”

Hearing these words, Linley felt his heart twinge.

“We’re selling off more family belongings?” Linley knew that the ‘Fierce Lion’ sculpture was one which his father deeply liked. But the Baruch clan, which took very little taxes from Wushan township, really was in dire economic straits.

Fortunately, the Baruch clan was an ancient one, and by virtue of its age, had stored many rare and precious items.

Unfortunately, even the vastest of hoards could not withstand so many years of auctions and sales. By this point in time, the number of valuable items within the clan was very few. Linley couldn’t help but turn to stare at the grandfather clock. “I wonder how long it will be before even this clock has to be sold off.”

A middle aged man with long, golden hair and a nobleman’s aura strode into the hall by Hogg’s side. Linley immediately was able to guess that this middle-aged man must be ‘Philip’.

“Oh, this adorable child must be your son, right Hogg?” Philip smiled very warmly at Linley. “Linley Baruch, right? May I address you as Linley?”

“It would be my honor, sire.” Linley placed his right hand against his breast and respectfully bowed.

“What an adorable child.” Philip seemed very pleased.

By his side, Hogg laughed. “Philip, stop wasting time with the child. Look, the ‘Fierce Lion’ you have desired for so long has arrived.” As he spoke, Hillman easily carried in the large sculpture into the hall, and then easily set it down.

It was a nearly thousand-pound stone sculpture, but in Hillman’s hands, it seemed like naught but a toy, clearly showing Hillman’s strength.

“Mr. Hillman, your strength amazes me. My own manor doesn’t have anyone as fierce as you, guard captain, even though I control twelve towns.” Philip smiled as he spoke, but the implicit meaning in his words was quite clear; he wanted to invite Hillman to work for him.

Hillman said coldly, “Wushan town is my home, sire.”

“Forgive me.” Philip quickly apologized.

Philip turned to look at Hogg. “Hogg, I must say, although I like this stone sculpture very much, the artisanship of this ‘Fierce Lion’ sculpture cannot be considered to be top tier, much less the masterpieces of those grandmaster sculptors.”

“Philip, if you don’t wish to buy it, then forget about it.” Hogg was quite succinct.

Philip’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow, but then he laughed. “Haha…Hogg, don’t be angry. I’m not saying that I don’t wish to buy it. I’m just telling the truth. How about this. I’ll buy this sculpture for five hundred gold coins. What do you think?”

“Five hundred?” Hogg frowned.

This price was much lower than what Hogg had hoped for. He had been hoping for at least eight hundred.

In the Yulan continent, one gold coin equaled ten silver coins equaled a thousand copper coins. The average commoner would be able to earn twenty or thirty gold coins in a year. Even the average army soldier would only earn a hundred or so gold coins.

“The price is too low.” Hogg shook his head.

“Hogg, you must know that in all the ten thousand plus years of the Yulan continent, there have been countless sculptures made. The true value of a sculpture is in terms of its artisanship. As far as the artisanship of this one….well, heh, suffice to say, I just like it. Five hundred gold really is my highest offer. If you don’t accept, then let’s just forget about it.”

Philip laughed as he turned to look at the grandfather clock in the hall. His eyes gleaming, he said, “Hogg, if you were to sell this clock, however, I would be willing to pay a thousand gold.”

Hogg’s face grew cold.

“Ahem, two thousand gold would be acceptable as well. This would be my highest offer.” Philip hurriedly said.

Hogg sternly shook his head firmly. “The grandfather clock is not for sale! As for the sculpture, six hundred gold. Take it or leave it.”

Philip carefully studied Hogg for a moment, then chuckled. “Fine, Hogg. I’ll give you some face. Six hundred gold it is. Housekeeper, bring me six hundred gold.” The caretaker for his manor, who had been waiting outside the entire time, immediately ran over with the gold.

Six sacks of yellow gold.

“Six hundred gold, Hogg. You can count it, if you want.” Philip smiled.

Hogg hefted the sacks. Just based on weight alone, Hogg was certain that there really were six hundred gold coins in them, a hundred gold per sack. Hogg smiled and nodded. “Philip, how about staying and having dinner with us?”

“No need, I still have some business back home.” Philip laughed.

Philip’s housekeeper subsequently instructed two powerfully built warriors to lift and carry away the sculpture, which they did with difficulty.

After Philip and his entourage had departed, Hogg stared at the six sacks of gold, a dim look in his eyes. This time, he sold the stone sculpture. Next time? Although the manor still had many things remaining, sooner or later, they would have nothing left.

“Father, I want to learn to be a sculptor!” Linley suddenly said.

Linley knew very well that in the Yulan continent, those famous master sculptors could produce works valued at tens of thousands of gold pieces each. Some famous sculptures could even reach a hundred thousand gold pieces. And wealth aside, the societal ranking of these sculptors was also very high.

“If I can become a master sculptor, then…then father will no longer have to sell our family possessions.” This is what Linley was thinking.

“Sculpting?” Hogg glanced at Linley, his eyes cold.

“Linley, do you know that amongst the hundreds of millions of people in the Holy Union, there are at least several million who have studied sculpting. But in the entire Holy Union, the number of true masters can be counted on one hand. In addition, if you don’t have a good instructor, you simply cannot succeed on your own.”

“The inner circle of sculptors is not one which ordinary people are allowed into. You only see the sky-high valuation of the works of the masters, but do you know that the vast majority of sculptors only make a few dozen gold coins each year?”

Hogg’s voice was very fierce.

Linley was so frightened, he immediately knelt down. Just now, he only spoke because he thought that sculpting could improve his family’s situation. He didn’t expect his father to say so much and lecture him so sternly.

“Enough. The ancestral hall needs some cleaning. After lunch, go and clean it up.” Hogg said coldly.

“Yes, father.” Linley said respectfully.

Looking at Linley, Hogg sighed in his heart. “Sculpting? Oh, child. Do you know that in the past, I also practiced sculpting? I spent ten full years of my life trying to learn. But unfortunately, my sculptures weren’t worth a single coin.” Hogg, too, had once foolishly dreamed of becoming a master sculptor and thereby improving his clan’s situation.

But in his heart, he felt very helpless. Despite spending ten years training, his sculptures were still worthless. The field of sculpting could be described as a pyramid.

Those famous master sculptors were at the top of the pyramid. They enjoyed a high status, and each sculpture they made was worth hundreds of thousands of coins.

But the valuation of the work of the countless low level sculptors at the bottom of the pyramid was soul-crushingly low. Most of their works would just be bought by commoners for just a few silver coins to use as decorations in their homes.

Waktu terbang oleh cepat, dan dalam sekejap mata, jam kakek dalam lorong berdering sebelas kali, menandakan bahwa kini 11 di pagi hari. "Apakah Hogg di rumah?" Sebuah suara yang jelas terdengar. Baruch manor telah ada penjaga, begitu jelas, orang ini sudah tiba di dasar manor. Hogg mengerutkan kening, menempatkan turun buku tebal tebal di depannya. "Linley, hari ini kita akan berhenti di sini." Mengungkap seuntai senyum, Hogg berbalik dan berjalan menuju ruang tamu. "Ah, Hogg, sahabatku! Hanya beberapa hari, saya mendengar teriakan clothspinner burung, dan aku hanya tahu bahwa sesuatu yang baik akan terjadi. Memang, siang, saya menerima surat resmi Anda, dan segera setelah saya membacanya, saya sangat gembira. "" Sayang Philip, saya sangat senang melihat Anda juga. Hillman, cepat pergi dan membawa saya patung batu, 'Fierce Singa'. Philip, datang, mari kita pergi ke ruang utama dan menunggu. Patung akan berada di sini segera. "Mendengar kata-kata ini, Linley merasa nyeri hatinya." Kami menjual barang-barang lebih keluarga? "Linley tahu bahwa 'Fierce Singa' patung adalah salah satu yang ayahnya sangat menyukai. Tapi klan Baruch, yang mengambil pajak sangat sedikit dari Wushan kota, benar-benar dalam kesulitan ekonomi yang mengerikan. Untungnya, klan Baruch adalah salah satu kuno, dan berdasarkan usia, telah disimpan banyak item langka dan berharga. Sayangnya, bahkan vastest dari menimbun tidak bisa menahan bertahun-tahun lelang dan penjualan. Pada titik ini dalam waktu, jumlah barang berharga dalam klan itu sangat sedikit. Linley tidak bisa membantu tetapi beralih ke menatap jam kakek. "Aku ingin tahu berapa lama akan bahkan sebelum jam ini harus dijual." Seorang pria paruh baya dengan rambut panjang keemasan dan aura seorang bangsawan berjalan ke ruang sisi Hogg. Linley segera bisa menebak bahwa ini pria paruh baya harus 'Philip'. "Oh, anak ini menggemaskan harus menjadi anak Anda, tepat Hogg?" Philip tersenyum sangat hangat di Linley. "Linley Baruch, kan? Mungkin saya alamat Anda sebagai Linley? "" Ini akan menjadi kehormatan saya, Sire. "Linley ditempatkan tangan kanannya dadanya dan hormat membungkuk." Apa anak menggemaskan. "Philip tampak sangat senang. Dengan timnya, Hogg tertawa. "Philip, berhenti membuang-buang waktu dengan anak. Lihatlah, 'Lion Fierce' Anda telah diinginkan begitu lama telah tiba. "Sambil berbicara, Hillman mudah dibawa dalam patung besar ke lorong, dan kemudian dengan mudah meletakkannya. Itu adalah patung batu hampir seribu pound, tapi di tangan Hillman, itu tampak seperti sia-sia tetapi mainan, jelas menunjukkan kekuatan Hillman ini. "Mr. Hillman, kekuatan mengherankan saya. Manor saya sendiri tidak punya siapa-siapa yang sengit seperti Anda, kapten penjaga, meskipun saya mengendalikan dua belas kota "Philip tersenyum saat ia berbicara, namun makna tersirat dalam kata-katanya cukup jelas.; ia ingin mengundang Hillman bekerja untuknya. Hillman berkata dingin, "kota Wushan adalah rumah saya, Sire." "Maafkan aku." Philip cepat meminta maaf. Philip berpaling untuk melihat Hogg. "Hogg, saya harus mengatakan, meskipun saya suka patung batu ini sangat banyak, artisanship ini 'Fierce Lion' patung tidak dapat dianggap tingkat atas, apalagi karya dari mereka pematung grandmaster." "Philip, jika Anda don ' t ingin membelinya, maka lupakan saja. "Hogg cukup ringkas. mata Philip tidak bisa membantu tetapi sempit, tapi kemudian dia tertawa. "Haha ... Hogg, jangan marah. Saya tidak mengatakan bahwa saya tidak ingin membelinya. Aku hanya mengatakan yang sebenarnya. Bagaimana dengan ini. Saya akan membeli patung ini untuk lima ratus koin emas. Apa yang Anda pikirkan? "" Lima ratus? "Hogg mengerutkan kening. Harga ini jauh lebih rendah dari apa yang Hogg harapkan. Dia telah berharap untuk setidaknya delapan ratus. Di benua Yulan, satu koin emas menyamai sepuluh dinar setara seribu koin tembaga. Rata-rata biasa akan mampu menghasilkan dua puluh atau tiga puluh koin emas dalam setahun. Bahkan tentara militer rata-rata hanya akan mendapatkan koin emas seratus atau lebih. "Harganya terlalu rendah." Hogg menggeleng. "Hogg, Anda harus tahu bahwa di semua sepuluh ribu tahun ditambah dari benua Yulan, telah ada tak terhitung patung dibuat. Nilai sebenarnya dari patung adalah dalam hal artisanship nya. Sejauh artisanship satu ini ... yah, heh, cukup untuk mengatakan, aku hanya menyukainya. Lima ratus emas benar-benar menawarkan tertinggi saya. Jika Anda tidak menerima, maka mari kita lupakan saja. "Philip tertawa saat ia berbalik untuk melihat jam kakek di aula. Matanya berkilat, ia berkata, "Hogg, jika Anda adalah untuk menjual jam ini, bagaimanapun, saya akan bersedia membayar seribu emas." Wajah Hogg tumbuh dingin. "Ahem, dua ribu emas akan diterima juga. Ini akan menjadi tawaran tertinggi saya. "Buru-buru kata Philip. Hogg tegas menggeleng tegas. "Jam kakek tidak untuk dijual! Adapun patung, enam ratus emas. Ambil atau tinggalkan. "Philip hati-hati mempelajari Hogg sejenak, lalu terkekeh. "Baik, Hogg. Saya akan memberikan beberapa wajah. Enam ratus emas itu. Pembantu rumah tangga, membawa saya enam ratus emas. "Caretaker untuk manor nya, yang telah menunggu di luar sepanjang waktu, segera berlari dengan emas. Enam karung emas kuning." Enam ratus emas, Hogg. Anda dapat menghitung, jika Anda ingin. "Philip tersenyum. Hogg menimang-nimang karung. Hanya berdasarkan berat saja, Hogg yakin bahwa memang ada enam ratus koin emas di dalamnya, seratus emas per karung. Hogg tersenyum dan mengangguk. "Philip, bagaimana tentang tinggal dan makan malam dengan kami?" "Tidak perlu, saya masih memiliki beberapa bisnis kembali ke rumah." Philip tertawa. Pembantu Philip kemudian memerintahkan dua prajurit kekar untuk mengangkat dan membawa pergi patung, yang mereka lakukan dengan kesulitan . Setelah Philip dan rombongan telah berangkat, Hogg menatap enam karung emas, lihat redup di matanya. Kali ini, ia menjual patung batu. Lain kali? Meskipun manor masih memiliki banyak hal yang tersisa, cepat atau lambat, mereka akan memiliki apa-apa lagi. "Ayah, saya ingin belajar untuk menjadi seorang pematung!" Linley tiba-tiba berkata. Linley tahu betul bahwa di benua Yulan, mereka pematung master terkenal bisa menghasilkan karya senilai puluhan ribu keping emas masing-masing. Beberapa patung terkenal bahkan bisa mencapai seratus ribu keping emas. Dan kekayaan samping, peringkat sosial dari pematung ini juga sangat tinggi. "Jika saya bisa menjadi seorang pematung utama, maka ... maka ayah tidak akan lagi harus menjual harta keluarga kami." Ini adalah apa Linley berpikir. "Sculpting?" Hogg melirik Linley, matanya dingin. "Linley, apakah Anda tahu bahwa di antara ratusan juta orang di Uni Kudus, setidaknya ada beberapa juta yang telah mempelajari mematung. Tapi di seluruh Uni Kudus, jumlah guru sejati dapat dihitung dengan satu tangan. Selain itu, jika Anda tidak memiliki instruktur yang baik, Anda tidak bisa sukses sendiri. "" Lingkaran dalam pematung bukan salah satu yang orang biasa yang diizinkan masuk ke. Anda hanya melihat langit-tinggi penilaian dari karya-karya master, tetapi apakah Anda tahu bahwa sebagian besar pematung hanya membuat koin emas beberapa lusin setiap tahun? "Suara Hogg sangat sengit. Linley begitu ketakutan, ia segera berlutut turun. Hanya sekarang, ia hanya berbicara karena ia berpikir bahwa patung bisa memperbaiki situasi keluarganya. Dia tidak berharap ayahnya mengatakan begitu banyak dan kuliah begitu tegas. "Cukup. Ruang leluhur membutuhkan beberapa pembersihan. Setelah makan siang, pergi dan membersihkannya. "Hogg berkata dingin." Ya, ayah. "Linley kata hormat. Melihat Linley, Hogg mendesah dalam hatinya. "Sculpting? Oh, anak. Apakah Anda tahu bahwa di masa lalu, saya juga berlatih mematung? Aku menghabiskan sepuluh tahun penuh kehidupan saya mencoba untuk belajar. Namun sayangnya, patung saya yang tidak layak koin tunggal. "Hogg, juga pernah bodoh bermimpi menjadi seorang pematung utama dan dengan demikian meningkatkan situasi klannya. Tapi dalam hatinya, ia merasa sangat tak berdaya. Meskipun menghabiskan pelatihan sepuluh tahun, patung nya masih berharga. Bidang mematung bisa digambarkan sebagai piramida. Mereka pematung master terkenal berada di puncak piramida. Mereka menikmati status tinggi, dan masing-masing patung yang mereka buat adalah senilai ratusan ribu koin. Tapi valuasi karya pematung tingkat rendah yang tak terhitung jumlahnya di bagian bawah piramida adalah jiwa-crushingly rendah. Sebagian besar karya-karya mereka hanya akan dibeli oleh rakyat jelata hanya beberapa koin perak untuk digunakan sebagai dekorasi di rumah mereka.
