Chapter 321: Rogue Roman Merchant!

Chapter 321: Rogue Roman Merchant!
As long as it can be proved that the glass cup in Lu Ban’s hand is not a real one, or is a fake!

Then everything could still be salvaged! At that time, he wouldn't have to worry about the bet, and he could even fight back!
This idea took root in his mind like a life-saving straw, regardless of any rationality.

The captain quickly glanced at his teammates. They understood his look and knew that they could not lose.

If they lost, Caesar would mercilessly cut off their heads and use them as footballs.

Therefore, even if we die, we must defend it to the death!

Then, someone stood up and shouted, "I want to test this! I don't believe this is the glass cup!"

"Right! Who knows what the hell you put on this thing?"

"The people of Daqin are very cunning. Who knows if you have done anything secretly?! Maybe this thing is not made of glass at all!"

"The people of Daqin even consider excrement as treasures. Who would believe that you really have such ability?!"

When Lu Ban heard those people's discussions, a sneer appeared on his lips.

He had already seen through the fear in the caravan captain's eyes and understood that the other party was clinging to his last straw.

So, Lu Ban threw the glass cup at the captain of the caravan.

"Inspect it, and look as much as you like!"

The captain took the cup and the expression on his face gradually dimmed.

He knew at the touch that it was not a fake. In fact, he was not stupid. Within a few seconds of taking the glass cup, he realized that its quality was far superior to their glass products.

He tapped it gently, and the glass cup made a clear sound, like the sound of spring water, which was completely different from the turbid sound of the Roman glass cup.

Not to mention its transparency, incomparable purity, and many other indescribable advantages.

"This cup completely surpasses our Roman glass cup." He muttered to himself.

As to whether it was made by Romans, he had determined through careful observation that it did not show any traces of Roman craftsmanship.

Just look at the glass cup, there is no irregular crack inside, but Roman glass cups are often full of cracks due to imperfect craftsmanship. Those cracks can be said to be the unique characteristics of Roman glass.

But the cup in front of him did not even have a crack, and was more exquisite than the most perfect glass cup used by Roman emperors.

This is enough to prove that this is a masterpiece of the Qin Dynasty.

However, he knew very well that he could not speak directly, as he was not the only one who knew about this.

Those cracks, to many Romans, were a mark of self-esteem.

Even at the cost of his life, he must remain silent.

Once someone checks it, everything will be over.

He pretended to be indifferent and said, "I don't think you in the Great Qin can make something like this. Maybe..."

"This is the goods you purchased in advance from Rome."

The Roman captain pretended to be arrogant and said, "I don't need to see it to know that this cup is from Rome. You have a very rich imagination to compare it with something we made."

"But I'm in a good mood."

"The people of Daqin are somewhat stupid, I can understand that, so I won't pursue it any further."

"The previous misunderstanding is written off, but you must compensate us for this cup."

At this moment, the captain of the caravan just wanted to calm the situation as quickly as possible.

If we delay any further and the truth is revealed, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, the others were not the captain, and they did not understand why the captain could still have the audacity to continue speaking.

They all knew the captain's insight. He had traveled to countless countries and had a sharp eye for identifying people and things.

His insight was extremely sharp. As long as the caravan captain insisted that something was ominous, it was almost an ironclad fact!

So, when the others heard what the captain said, the caravan members instantly became excited. "Hahaha! How can the captain let them go so easily?!"

"That's right! Weren't they so arrogant just now? Now that they have found out that it is Roman's stuff, how could they let it go so easily?!"

Everyone in the caravan rushed out, with arrogance on their faces.

"You ants of the Qin Dynasty, prepare to lose everything you have!"

"We have plenty of glass cups! Luban, buy them all, don't let any of them escape!"

"And don't forget what you promised to do, to use your reputation as a craftsman to promote this for us! Haha!"

The captain of the caravan felt a headache looking at this group of self-righteous members.

Oh no, these people are so stupid!

He knew very well that if Lu Ban was really angered, the consequences would be disastrous.

This craftsman may have discovered the hidden danger of the Roman glass cup. We must not let him make it public and must find a way to solve it!
The captain then ordered his attendants: "Go and invite His Majesty, Master Huang, and the guards over. We need their support!"

After receiving the order, the follower rushed to the inn.

At this moment, Lu Ban was already distracted by the noise of the caravan.

To be honest, he originally thought that these Romans at least came from a big country and would not be so unreasonable.

But now, they use their actions to tell Lu Ban that they are just a bunch of vulgar people!
Lu Ban also realized how naive it was to reason with these people, and his patience had been exhausted.

The people around also began to get agitated. The situation was obvious. These people were clearly provoking!
Many farmers were ready to take action, and many of them had practiced martial arts.

In this era, you can't get anywhere without knowing some martial arts.

Lu Ban understood that he had to shut these people up at this moment.

So he looked directly at the caravan and said in an icy tone: "I tell you, your Roman cups all have a major flaw."

"The Roman cups had cracks all over the inside due to poor temperature control."

"Many cracks extend from the sides to the middle. Almost every glass cup has this!"

"I guarantee with my craftsman's expertise that none of your Roman glass cups will be spared!"

"If you don't believe me, ask your captain!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the caravan turned to look at the embarrassed captain behind them.

The captain now knew that the situation was irreversible and could only nod in acknowledgement under the gaze of everyone.

In fact, many people have speculated about this a long time ago.

In Rome, there is a popular saying:
"The cracks in these glass cups are the unique mark of Rome and the essence of our Roman art!"

It would be extremely stupid to continue pretending to be ignorant!
When Lu Ban heard the caravan captain's admission, he laughed out loud and then turned his eyes to scan the crowd.

"Is there anyone here who is skilled in martial arts?"

"Have!"

A burly man jumped out from the crowd, holding a sword and looking very majestic.

"Please split this glass cup into two without damaging it. Can you do it?"

The sturdy man showed a resolute look, full of confidence: "It may be difficult for others, but I can do it easily!"

Lu Ban took the glass cup from the captain, gently held it in his palm, and nodded slightly to the man: "Thank you, brave man!"

"Look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the knife flashed, like a dragon emerging from the water.
