After all, many things in this world can be made more valuable with terms like limited, rare, or unique.
So, how did diamonds become popular in the celestial empire? To put it bluntly, it's a form of foreign worship.
Of course, it can also be seen as a victory of marketing.
A diamond lasts forever.
A single one is everlasting.
Is a slogan that many should have heard.
At one point, this advertisement even brainwashed people.
Because of this marketing, the image of diamonds as precious and eternal was firmly established, and subsequent overwhelming advertisements directly tied diamonds to love fidelity.
In marriage, when you propose to a woman with a pigeon egg, a large diamond, your chances of success skyrocket.
For women, a diamond ring satisfies their vanity and allows them to enjoy the envious gazes of those around them, while also proving that the man is faithful and loves her.
Of course, the bigger the diamond, the better.
It shows he loves her more.
This mindset quickly made the celestial empire the country with the highest demand and sales of diamonds in the world at that time.
But if we peel back the surface to see the essence, the reality is that the bigger the diamond, the only thing it proves is that the man is wealthier.
Of course, being rich is important, which is why in recent years, the diamond market hasn't been as prosperous as before.
Now, it's popular for people in the celestial empire to give cars and houses as wedding gifts.
Although Leuia was a bit foolish after a while, he evidently realized the essence of diamonds.
After all, in this era, there weren't any inscrupulous merchants marketing those diamonds.
The orcs under him looked at him holding a pile of shiny stones with increasingly silly expressions, making it impossible not to notice.
Over time, those diamonds were casually tossed into the warehouse and forgotten by Leuia.
Now, when Loa asked Liku to retrieve those diamonds, it must be said that there were quite a few.
It was likely that when they were first discovered, they delighted Lee Yuia, and he wasted a lot of effort mining and even cutting the diamonds.
However, the craftsmanship of this era was limited, so the diamonds looked quite rough.
Nevertheless, even so, they still emitted a brilliant light under the sun.
However, after admiring the brilliance for a while, Laja casually tossed a diamond the size of a thumb, which would probably make many people go crazy in the modern world onto the table.
The diamond was indeed dazzling, but once stripped of its assigned packaging.
Luagia quickly felt a sense of aesthetic fatigue.
To put pretentiously, this thing was too superficial, vulgar.
Its exterior was incredibly gorgeous, yet it conveyed nothing, being merely showy.
It was far less endearing than the jade fish and the jade ring on his thumb that he played with daily.
Of course, given the current situation, Luagia didn't team mind marketing this diamond to achieve his goal of promoting the commercial development of the orc tribe.
Just as he was pondering this, a unique luster from a small basket of diamonds caught his eye.
Lajia reached in and felt around quickly pulling out a sky blue diamond.
He held it up to the sunlight, and the diamond immediately radiated a splendid color.
This one was nice, but it was too large.
It would be suitable for a crown or a scepter, but felt a bit tacky for jewelry.
With this thought, Lajia's lips curled up slightly, and he called a guard beside him to bring in a stone from outside.
He then aimed at the blue diamond on the table and slapped it down with a bang.
Diamonds are indeed known as the hardest mineral in the world, but they lack toughness.
In other words, they cannot withstand heavy blows.
With a bit of force, they can shatter easily.
Thus, that blue diamond, which would be among the largest in the modern world, was smashed by the stone Lajia had casually picked up.
After the slap, Luagia tossed the stone aside and quickly selected two diamonds of similar size that were just right.
Good.
Good.
just these two.
Muttering to himself, Luajia quickly took out a piece of paper, wrote and sketched on it, and casually asked, "Hilian, how is the silver mine we discovered 2 months ago? How's the mining and research going?" According to the people below, it's going very smoothly, your majesty.
Very good.
Luajin nodded in satisfaction and handed the completed design along with the two blue diamonds to a guard beside him.
The polishing methods and styles for the diamonds were all on this design.
Go find the best craftsmen within a myriad realms of civilization and have them cooperate with silver to make those two blue diamonds into earrings.
As for the rest here, Luajia glanced at the pile of remnants on his table.
A whole intact blue diamond was now shattered into large and small pieces.
The larger pieces, if put in the modern world, would still fetch astronomical prices.
Abandoning them seemed a bit wasteful.
After pondering for a moment, Luia made a decision.
The rest would be made into a bracelet.
Chapter 385.
Ching Shuer Lake.
After giving an order, Lu Gi's mood was evidently quite good.
After all, within the Orc tribe, there were still some things that could be put into operation.
As long as there was a breakthrough, things would be easier to handle.
Moreover, the craftsmen and miners who had returned with leak coup to the werewolf tribe had already confirmed the types of mineral deposits and ores there.
After careful mining and identification, they might even have unexpected surprises.
As time passed, Lu G listened to the reports from his subordinates.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The mineral resources on the orc trib's territory were surprisingly abundant.
Besides the existing or resources, several types of ores he did not have are discovered.
Among the unfamiliar ores brought back by the miners, Lu G could only identify gold and tungsten ore.
As for the other few types that he had no clue about, he planned to check the information after arranging various matters.
Is there anything else new? Lu G casually asked after listening to his subordinates report.
To his surprise, this question actually led to some new information.
After pondering for a moment, the subordinate replied, "Your majesty besides these orars, we also discovered a lake on the other side of the Tyran tribe.
A lake?" Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Lu G's eyes.
What was so special about a lake? At most, it would just provide some freshwater fish resources, which was of little significance to him since he was not lacking food right now.
However, his subordinate clearly had not finished speaking.
After taking a breath, he continued, "Earlier, we happened to pass by that lake and wanted to scoop some water to drink, but we found that the taste of the water was strange, and the more we drank, the thirstier we became.
It was truly odd.
Strange taste and getting thirstier.
" Lu G furrowed his brows upon hearing this.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he stood up from his desk and said, "I want to personally go see that lake.
" After hearing this, the subordinate was taken aback.
While the guards on either side had a look of indifference, although their majesty was diligent and loved the people, he was also famously decisive when it came to doing things.
When he was in the mood, he would act on whatever came to mind without hesitation.
"What you still doawling for? If there's anything to prepare, hurry back and get ready.
We should set off soon," Hilong, the captain of the guards, reminded the still days subordinate.
Now, that subordinate was completely dumbfounded.
They had just returned this morning and hadn't even gone home yet, and now they were leaving again.
Regardless, since Emperor Lu Gi had directly spoken, it was clear that there was no room for negotiation.
The group was not large besides the guide, Lu G brought along a team of guards for his safety.
They sped along and their efficiency was quite high.
Quickly arriving at their destination.
At that moment, before Lu G had the chance to observe the lake, a system prompt sounded directly in his mind.
System prompt.
Congratulations.
Player Lu G has discovered the three-star natural wonder Ching Shuer Lake.
After being momentarily stunned, Lu Gi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
At that moment, under the sunlight, a blue green lake was directly presented before him.
The area of Ching Shuer Lake undoubtedly exceeded that of Ming Jing Lake, resembling a vast ocean, showcasing a spectacular view, quickly calming his emotions.
Luo Gi rode closer and opened the attributes panel of Ching Shuer Lake.
