The entire journey was silent, and according to the plot, Philip was invited by Hogg to the main hall. In the main hall, Hogg was examining Linley's history. As Li Feng had wished, he saw Linley.
Ignoring the conversation between Philip and Hogg.
Li Feng observed Linley. Right now, Linley was about 80 centimeters tall, which was considered tall for a child. However, compared to Li Feng, who had a systematic training technique, he was still a head shorter. After four years of growth, Li Feng was now 1.2 meters tall. Linley had a head full of brown hair, making him look very energetic.
Philip, seeing Li Feng look at Linley, said,"Hogg, this is your son, right? It's been a few years since we last met. Hogg, let's talk business. Let Li Feng play with Linley. Hogg, what do you think?"”
In the original novel, Hogg was not as good as Philip. Not to mention that Philip was even richer than the original novel, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was as rich as a country. Moreover, it was not a bad thing to be on good terms with Philip's son. Of course, he would not have any objections.
As for Li Feng, he had come for Linley, so of course he wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
And so, Li Feng came up to Linley and said,"You must be Uncle Hogg's son, Linley. I've heard my father mention you before. I even attended your one-month-old wedding. Haha."
Linley looked at Li Feng and said,"Your name is Li Feng. Are you Lord Philip's son? "How old are you this year? You're so tall." Linley was like a curious baby as he asked many questions. Li Feng answered one by one."That's right, my name is Li Feng. Rhode is from the Rhode Family. He's eight years old this year. As for his height, I don't know how he grew so tall.”
Hearing that Li Feng was only eight years old, Linley said in surprise,"Ah, Li Feng, you're only eight years old. I'm eight years old too, but why am I so short?”
Li Feng looked at the rather adorable Little Linley in front of him and thought,'Who would have thought that such an adorable child would shock the Seven Great Divine Planes and the Four Supreme Divine Planes ten thousand years later? Who would have thought that he would become the Primordial Chaos Controller twenty thousand years later and control the fate of an entire Cosmos? I'm afraid no one would believe it even if I told them now.
Given Li Feng's experience as a person from two lifetimes, he was able to coax Linley into calling him 'big brother'. Li Feng was also thinking that if it wasn't for Linley's heaven-defying body of karmic luck, perhaps he really would have become friends with Linley. However, there were no ifs in this world. The two of them were destined to be from different worlds. Although they wouldn't become enemies, they wouldn't become friends either.
Hogg asked Hillman to bring out the stone sculpture of the "Fierce Lion". Philip had no interest in the "Fierce Lion" to begin with. He looked at the "Fierce Lion" and said casually,"500 gold coins."
"Philip, if you don't want to buy it, then forget it.”Hogg was straightforward.
Philip couldn't help but squint his eyes, and then he laughed." Haha…Hogg, don't be angry. It's not that I don't want to buy it. It's just that the carving skills of this sculpture, the 'Fierce Lion' are not top-notch, let alone compared to those master sculptors.”
"500 gold coins?" Hogg frowned.
This price was much lower than Hogg had expected. Hogg's price was 800 gold coins.
In the Yulan continent, 1 gold coin was equivalent to 10 silver coins, which was equivalent to 1000 copper coins. Ordinary civilians could earn 20 to 30 gold coins a year. Even the soldiers in the army, the average soldier's annual salary was only 100 gold coins.
"The price is too low." Hogg shook his head.
"Hogg, you should also know that the entire Yulan continent has a large number of stone sculptures that have a history of ten thousand years. The true value of a stone sculpture lies in its artistic quality. The artistic quality of your stone sculpture…hehe, it's just that I like it in my heart. 500 gold coins is indeed my highest price. If you don't agree, then forget it.
Philip and Hogg were in the middle of a fierce bargaining.
"Father, I think this stone carving is very good. It's definitely worth more than 500 gold coins." Li Feng said at this time.”
Linley, who was talking to Li Feng, heard Li Feng's words and asked, puzzled,"Li Feng, do you know how to sculpt?" Li Feng laughed as he patted Linley's head, not saying anything.
"Oh, Li Feng, I didn't know that you had studied stone sculptures. How much do you think this stone sculpture is worth?”Philip was not interested in this stone sculpture to begin with. It was Li Feng who instigated him to come, so he looked at Li Feng and said.
Li Feng circled the stone statue twice and pretended to ponder for a while before saying,"Although the carving technique of this 'Fierce Lion' is not top-notch, and cannot be compared to those master sculptors, I think it's worth two thousand gold coins.”
"Two thousand gold coins." Hogg looked at Li Feng in surprise, and Philip also looked at Li Feng in surprise. However, Philip knew that Li Feng had his own ideas, so he did not say anything. Besides, Philip did not care about this bit of money.
Li Feng gave Philip a look and said,"Yes, Uncle Hogg. This price is already not low. Could it be that Uncle Hogg is not satisfied with this price?”
"Ah, no, that's not what I meant.”
"Since it isn't, then it's settled. Grandpa Sunier, give 2000 gold coins to Uncle Hogg.”
Li Feng interrupted Hogg's words. Butler Sunny was already the butler of the Rode Family when Philip's father was also Li Feng's grandfather. He knew the value of some items. Sunny knew that this stone sculpture of the "Fierce Lion" was only worth 700 to 1,000 gold coins. He hesitated when he heard Li Feng say 2000 gold coins. Sunny looked at Philip for his opinion. Philip nodded imperceptibly. Butler Sunny saw that Philip agreed. Although he didn't know why, he still took out 2000 gold coins and handed them over to Hogg.
Hogg was still in disbelief when he received the 2000 gold coins. He wanted to say something, but Philip said,"Brother Hogg, since Li Feng likes me, I won't say anything else. Just take it. Don't tell me you're worried that I'm short of money, haha.”
Hogg naturally knew that Philip had been selling magic recovery potions for the past few years. He just didn't know how much money Philip had earned. He thought about it and didn't say anything. He just wanted to thank Philip for inviting Philip to have lunch.
This time, Hogg was not just being polite like in the original novel. He sincerely wanted to invite Philip to stay for dinner, but Philip politely refused.
After that, Butler Sunier arranged for a level-nine warrior to carry the lion away easily.
After Philip and the others left, Hogg looked at the 2000 gold coins in his hand, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes. This time, he was selling the sculpture. What about next time? Although there were many things at home, they would eventually be sold out.
"Father, is the lion really worth 2000 gold coins?”Linley asked.
Hogg shook his head and said," It's not worth it. Although the lion sculpture is quite good, 1000 gold coins is already the highest price.”
Hearing Hogg's words, Linley asked in puzzlement,"Then why did Li Feng buy the Fierce Lion Stone Sculpture with 2000 gold coins?”
"I don't know. Maybe it's because Li Feng really likes that.”Hogg said, puzzled.
"Father, does Li Feng have a very high status in Lord Philip's family? He took out 2000 gold coins just because Li Feng liked it.”
The young Linley clearly didn't understand how Li Feng could casually use 2000 gold coins.
Hearing Linley's words, Hogg sighed."Philip only has one son, Li Feng. Although Philip is a little stingy, he is still willing to give up his son. Moreover, the magic recovery potions on the entire continent were manufactured and sold by the Philip family. They did not care about this bit of money.”
"Is the Mana Recovery Potion very valuable?”Linley asked childishly. "It's valuable, no, it's very valuable. Magicians are the richest class on the continent, and magic recovery potions are a necessity for magicians in battles and duels. Think about it, if two magicians fight, both sides will run out of magic power in the end, and one magus takes out a bottle of magic recovery potion and drinks it to regain his fighting strength, what do you think the outcome will be?”
Linley's little brain clearly wasn't able to comprehend so many things at once. Hogg patted Linley's head and said,"You're still young. You'll know when you grow up.”
"Is Philip's family very rich?" Linley suddenly asked.
Hogg hesitated for a moment before saying,"Philly's family has been producing and selling magic potions for four years. With the number of mages on the continent, they should have accumulated about two billion gold coins."”Hogg guessed uncertainly.
Hearing his father say that there were two billion gold coins, the young Linley knew that the Philip family was rich, but when he heard that there were two billion gold coins, he sucked in a cold breath. After all, the most money Linley had ever seen was the 2000 gold coins that Sunier had given his father. But of course, he couldn't possibly know that the Rode family had already reached a shocking seven billion gold coins. If he knew, who knew what he would think.
