Chapter 253 Night Spirit Flower
"Thanks for the gift, Kermit!"
Alice first bowed slightly and nodded to Kermit in front of her to express her gratitude, but her eyes did not linger on the pearl necklace.
Alice then signaled to the maid in the audience, who immediately stepped forward, bent over, respectfully took the silver box from Kermit, and then stepped back.
“No… you’re welcome!”
Kermit was originally very proud of the fact that his gift had caused a lot of discussion in the audience, and he fantasized that he could impress Alice.
But he didn't expect Alice to be indifferent to such a beautiful black pearl necklace. Although her tone of thanks was friendly and sincere, Kermit could feel that Alice was just saying thank you out of the most normal courtesy.
You should know that these black pearl jewelry are extremely rare in the Principality of Jean. They are the most popular jewelry among noble ladies. If you own one, it is enough to show off in your small circle for a long time!
Kermit returned to the stage with a look of disappointment on his face, which made many young people present shout in their hearts that he deserved it, and secretly cursed the toad for wanting to eat swan meat, but they never thought that they actually had the same goal as Kermit.
Of course, Kermit's failure did not dampen the courage of other young men. Those who wanted to have an intimate relationship with her became more impatient and wanted to have an intimate relationship with her under the attention of everyone.
Soon another young man walked towards the stage.
"Student Alice, we are very happy to receive your invitation to attend this birthday party. You have always been the rose in our hearts when we were in school."
"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment!"
His attitude towards his classmate Alice softened a little.
"Alice, to express my congratulations on your birthday, please allow me to present you with this bouquet of flowers!"
The person who came up to the stage to present a gift to Alice was one of the young men and women. The young man was tall, with blond hair and a high nose bridge. He was a tall, rich and handsome man.
After this man came on stage, he didn't rush to present the gift like Kermit did. Instead, he politely talked to Alice about their classmate friendship.
To be honest, Gervis felt that if this man were in his previous life, he would definitely be the idol of those crazy girls, handsome, tall and elegant.
But when he finally took out his gift, most of the people present were stunned.
Are you sure this is a gift?
We have seen sending flowers, but shouldn’t you remove the soil and roots of the flowers before sending them? Besides, your flowers don’t have any special features and are not as pretty as the ordinary roses in the Rose Castle Garden!
This was the psychological activity of most people present, because what the young man was handing over at this moment was a living, intact plant.
Just now the young man said he was giving Alice a bouquet of flowers, and everyone thought it was really a way of expressing love by giving flowers, but it was clearly just one flower, not a bouquet.
The flower in the young man's hand is not big. Its rhizome and the only flower are only the size of a palm. However, the flowerpot used for this flower is extremely exquisite. This small flowerpot is made of hollowed-out crystal, and various red and green gems are inlaid on the outside of the crystal flowerpot. The pattern of the gems just forms a small rose.
"O'Reilly, your gift is too precious! I can't accept it!"
Just when everyone in the room was full of doubts, wondering if this tall and handsome young man was a poor guy and the tadpoles wanted to eat swan meat, Alice's words shocked most of the guests present.
Alice actually said his gift was so precious!
"Did I hear it wrongly? Did the Earl just say that the man's gift was too precious?"
"You heard it right, I heard it too! But what kind of flower is that? Why is it so precious even to the Earl?"
Most people present couldn't imagine what kind of flower could be so precious to Alice that she couldn't accept it. After all, Kermit's black pearl necklace was worth hundreds of gold coins, but the Earl accepted it without even blinking an eye. Could it be that this little flower was worth more than hundreds of gold coins?
"If that flower is really that precious, maybe I know what it is!"
At this moment, a middle-aged viscount whispered to the people around him while recalling.
"What kind of flower is that? I've never heard of any flower that's so precious. You know, unless it's a mutated potion plant, it can't be so precious. But I clearly didn't see any energy fluctuations on that little flower."
"I've read in a travelogue before that there is a kind of flower that can gather spiritual energy between heaven and earth at night. Although it's only a small flower the size of a palm, if placed in a bedroom, it can make the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire bedroom more than twice as dense as outside. This small flower is called the Night Spirit Flower in the travelogue."
The middle-aged Viscount recalled for a moment and continued.
"The Night Spirit Flower is no taller than ten centimeters, and has only one rhizome. It has only two petals, and at the top of the rhizome there is only one small purple-pink flower. I felt it was familiar just now, and then I remembered that the Night Spirit Flower recorded in the travel notes was very similar to the small flower in the young man's hand."
"Hiss! There is actually such a flower, I have never even heard of it!"
"That's right! This is too precious! The effect of this little flower is equivalent to half of the royal blue fairy bug's training space!"
"Lord Chessef, does the book say how many gold coins the Night Spirit Flower is worth?"
"500 gold coins. The travelogue says that the author used 500 gold coins to buy a Night Spirit Flower from a minor noble!"
As the middle-aged viscount spoke of the efficacy and origin of the flower in O'Reilly's hand, many gasps were heard throughout the hall.
No matter whether people recognized the plant or not, after confirming that the flower might really be the Night Spirit Flower, they were all moved by its peculiarity.
"Student Alice, please accept this. This is a gift from me as a classmate to congratulate you on your birthday. It has no other meaning!"
From the fact that the Night Spirit Flower was Alice's birthday gift, it can be seen that O'Reilly has put a lot of effort into tonight's birthday party. Moreover, as a classmate, he knows Alice very well. If he does not pressure Alice with the friendship between classmates, then Alice will definitely not accept this gift.
Sure enough, when O'Reilly swore that it was a gift from a classmate and that he had no other intentions, Alice felt a little embarrassed.
Although gold coins worth about 500 are nothing to the Jones family, it is indeed a considerable fortune for many nobles.
It is normal to receive gifts worth hundreds or even two hundred gold coins at a birthday party, as long as you return the favor later. However, gifts worth five or six hundred gold coins are beyond the scope of birthday gifts.
Alice is now only thinking about how to stabilize the Jones family and doesn't want to consider other things. Alice knows that if she accepts O'Reilly's gift, she will inevitably be entangled by O'Reilly in the future.
"Alice, since O'Reilly is so enthusiastic, you should accept it!"
While Alice was still thinking, Gervis spoke.
Sorry guys, this chapter is a bit late!
