Hearing his friend's words, Magsud didn't even raise his head. He burped and said, "You don't have to lie to me. I asked. There is only one piece of red glass like this, and it will never be available again."
"Our king likes the color of wine the most. If I can bring that vase back, he will definitely restore my family title."
"You know, our family has worked hard for this for fifty years, a full fifty years. The opportunity to restore the title was right in front of me, but I just watched it slip away."
"Do you know how I feel? I can't forgive myself... If I prepare more money, I can't borrow, steal or rob..."
"Damn Seymour, you didn't even give me any face. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him halfway and get that baby back."
Seeing his lost friend, Arab was very sad. He naturally knew how Magsud felt. Restoring his title has been their family's biggest long-cherished wish for decades.
In order to raise enough atonement money, their family embarked on the trade route to the Tang Dynasty. In the past few decades, countless members of the clan have fallen on this road.
It can be said that the burgundy glass vase was the best opportunity, but if he missed it like this, you can imagine his pain.
Afterwards, they approached Seymour, but he would not sell it no matter how high the price was. Obviously, he most likely did not buy it for the sake of selling it.
They went to the glass museum again to inquire, but they were told directly that the artwork was unique and there would never be another one.
It’s even unclear whether this kind of red glass will be available in the next issue – they are only responsible for selling it, not making it, and they will sell whatever glass is made in the workshop.
This news caused Magsud to completely collapse and he drank from his sorrow all day long.
However, he is still the leader of the caravan, and the others are not happy to be like this. The caravan route is too dangerous, everyone has their heads in their belts, and they need to be extremely careful in everything.
Even the return time is determined in advance. If you miss it, you will have to wait an extra year.
And as the leader of the caravan, he still needs to lead everyone to solve all kinds of troubles encountered along the way.
With his current decadent appearance, how can anyone still trust him?
If he doesn't cheer up quickly, he will not be able to keep his position as leader. If the delay is too long, the caravan will probably kick him out and then set off back home.
By that time, it would be simply a delusion for him to cross the long trade route on his own.
Arab felt panicked at the thought of this possibility. Magsud was his best friend, and he did not want to see this happen.
Another reason is that as a caravan leader, you naturally enjoy certain privileges and have more chances of survival.
As a good friend of Magsud, he also received a lot of care, which he was reluctant to part with.
Due to various factors, he finally made a decision that went against his ancestors.
After shooing all the servants away, he solemnly said: "Maqsud, do you really want to restore the family title?"
Magsud said impatiently: "We have known each other for many years, why should we ask questions when we already know."
Arab was not angry, but continued to ask: "How much are you willing to pay for this?"
Magsud said excitedly: "I am willing to give my life."
Arab's eyes flickered and he asked, "Are you willing to betray the country?"
Magsud sobered up from his drunkenness in an instant, stared at him and said, "What do you mean?"
Arab said: "If you are willing, I can take you to see a noble man. If you can satisfy him, let alone one piece of red glass, ten pieces will not be a problem."
Magsud sobered up a little bit more from his drunkenness, stared closely at his friend, and asked: "Where did you... meet such a noble man? What does he want from me?"
Alaa preached: "They need some information from you."
Magsud can become the leader of the caravan because his IQ and skills are top-notch. Even if his brain is anesthetized by alcohol, he can instantly guess the identity of the other party.
He must be from the Tang Dynasty, and his status is not low, otherwise it would be impossible for him to speak so loudly.
He took a deep breath and said, "What information does he want to get from me? My family has not been an official for fifty years, and we have no access to any confidential information."
"Besides, our country is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, with the powerful Western Turks in the middle. Why are they asking for news about our country?"
Arab shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I'm only responsible for helping to pass the message. Think about it carefully. If you are willing, I will reply to the other party. If not, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
"Yes." Magsud said without hesitation without any hesitation:
"Fifty years ago, when they deprived my family of their titles and trampled on my family's honor, they did not regard my family as their own."
"Besides, Muhammad's forces have conquered most of Elam, and even the country has been lost. With these incompetent nobles, the great Elam is about to perish in their hands."
"There is an old saying in the Tang Dynasty that there are no intact eggs when the nest is overturned. It is time for us to think carefully about ourselves and our family."
Elam is the name of the Sassanid people for their country.
Arab was not surprised at all by his friend's choice. He knew what kind of person he was after knowing him for so many years.
Afraid of causing further complications, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll contact him now."
The way to contact the two parties is very simple. Just use lime to draw an X in the upper left corner of the door, and then wait.
Having regained hope, Magsud quickly reorganized himself to prevent his decadent appearance from making the other party regret it.
This change in him was also seen by other people in the caravan. Everyone thought that he was very happy to have come out of the gloom, and they came to visit one after another.
Although Magsud was very impatient, he still calmed his companions patiently.
Because he knows that the caravan is his capital, and if he loses the blessing of the caravan, the other party will not like him.
And his performance also made his caravan companions believe that he had really cheered up again and was completely relieved.
After waiting anxiously for two days, they received a letter. The content was simply an address, and the two of them quickly found an excuse to go out to their destination.
It was a very ordinary small courtyard, and they tried to knock on the door.
The person who opened the door was a servant. He was not surprised at all when he saw them. He said, "Follow me," and led the way.
Both Magsud and Magsud were businessmen who walked on the tip of a knife. They had a very keen sense of smell and were vaguely aware of many people hiding around them.
Whenever there is any abnormal movement between the two of them, their bodies and heads must be in different places.
This made them even more uneasy, but at the same time it also confirmed their guess that the other party was a big shot in the Tang Dynasty.
Under the guidance of the servant, they came to the main hall, but found that there was no one inside.
But immediately, their eyes were attracted by something placed on the table in front of the lobby.
A tall glass.
It has gold legs and is engraved with exquisite hollow patterns. The cup above is made of burgundy semicircular glass.
The gold and red glass complement each other so beautifully that they can't take their eyes away.
The red vase from before was worthless compared to the cup in front of me.
