Start As a Lord In a Viscount

"Lord Claire, the match between Mason and Ona is about to start. Do you want to go and take a look at the jewelry union?" Karen on the side said with a smile.

The reason why Karen laughed so cheerfully was because Ona didn't intend to fight with Mason at first. Ona posted angrily that he accepted Mason's fight.

He also threatened to completely defeat Mason, letting him know the gap between him and himself. The words he said before were not vacant, and Mason was just a lucky boy.

After hearing this news, Karen's back teeth almost burst out laughing. After listening to Claire's analysis, he felt that this fight would benefit his side without any harm.

Other jewelers tried their best to shut down the news, and some even went to the door in person to ask Ona to withdraw the challenge. They can't afford to lose, even if they lose, don't lose so fast, they have to give them some time to prepare.

However, with Ona's temper, those people were scolded and slammed out the door.

So the "Battle of Old and New" announced by Mason at the press conference also kicked off at this time. With Karen's deliberate promotion, almost everyone in Mariehamn now began to pay attention to this game.

"No, I've been in Mariehamn for so long and haven't had a good time going out for a walk." Claire put down the drink in her hand and stood up by herself.

"I'm going back to Nafford after Mason is done with this, so take this opportunity to hang out."

Although he didn't understand what Claire was thinking, Karen still respectfully said, "Okay sir, do you need me to send someone to show you the way?"

"No, I prefer to hang out." Claire walked to the door and said before going out: "Just tell me the result when you come back."

"Understood, my lord." Karen saluted Claire.

...

Claire didn't lie, he's been here for more than two weeks, and he really hasn't visited the place well. He's all in the house to check the information of the jewelers and jewellers here, and he also goes to Mariehamn when he goes out. Do research on jewelry in various places.

After leaving the main store of Mina Jewelry Store, Claire chose a random direction to wander.

He likes to wander aimlessly like this. After walking for a few minutes, Claire can also see the style and characteristics of the city here. The style and characteristics are the living habits and personality hobbies of the people living here. Claire saw that there are many stalls here, selling some local specialties, most of which are some jewelry, which is also the main industry of Mariehamn, and Passers-by who hold special tea sets that are not available in other places on the roadside, drink drinks that are not common in other places, and drink slowly.

After walking aimlessly for a few minutes, Claire saw a group of people gathered in a tavern, and there were still lively roars from time to time.

Claire, who was outside, became slightly curious and walked in slowly.

Putting his elbows on the wooden bar, and leaning on the bar with his back, Claire stared at the people behind him who were gathered together and didn't know what to say, and asked without looking back, "Where are they? What are you doing?"

Claire is not bad looking. After asking, the female bartender at the bar left the customers in front of her and walked towards Claire.

He replied with a smile: "Isn't this Master Mason and Master Ona going to duel in the jewelry union? They are there discussing who can win."

"Look at that crystal ball, it's the scene of the Synchronized Union." The beautiful bartender stretched out his white fingers beside Claire's cheek.

At this time, Claire also noticed that there was a crystal ball the size of a head in the center of those people sitting around.

"How? Are you interested? You can also bet on who can win."

Claire turned her head and smiled, "No, I don't gamble."

Seeing Claire's face, the smile on the female bartender's face became even happier, and raised her eyebrows at Claire, "Then what kind of wine are you going to have?"

Claire just wanted to say that she doesn't drink alcohol, but she thought of the tavern here, so she took out a cup of silver dragon coins and put it on the bar, and replied, "Bring me a cup of what you are good at."

After the female bartender saw the silver dragon coin, she looked at Claire again with love in her eyes. It's not that Claire can pretend, but he really has no currency in this country, and a silver dragon coin is really nothing to him.

"Okay, here we come!"

After a while, the female bartender brought a glass of blue-red wine and put it in front of Claire.

He smiled and said, "Please taste it."

Claire picked it up, took a sip, and praised: "Not bad." In fact, he didn't know the quality of the wine at all, just a polite compliment.

But when the female bartender heard it, she became excited like a child who had been praised.

"What do you think of the absolute relationship between Mason...Master and Master Ona?" Claire asked.

"This?" The female bartender raised her head and thought for a while, showing a good-looking smile, and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention, anyway, if they win or lose, it won't affect my salary of ten gold coins a month."

Claire also laughed, "That's right."

After wiping the wine stains on the bar, the female bartender pointed at the crowd just now and said, "If you are interested, you can ask the one inside. He is also a jewelry designer and should know more than me."

Claire's eyes returned to the crowd just now, and at a glance, she saw a man in white with a flushed face, excitedly giving a speech.

"I tell you! It's absolutely right to press Master Mason!"

"He is the new direction of the jewelry design industry in the future, and he can't lose!"

"Don't tell me how strong Master Ona is. Now is the era of simplicity. I have learned a lot from Master Mason's philosophy, so Master Mason will win in this competition!"

"Don't say I'm bluffing you, I'm a professional jewelry designer, and now it's a battle between old and new ideas. I know who has a better chance of winning. I've put my entire wealth on Master Mason. ."

"New things are destined to trump old things, so this time Master Mason will win!"

Listening to the words of the man in white, the onlookers were also very excited, and they put the money on Mason's side together.

The female bartender stretched out her hand and poked Claire's shoulder, and said again: "How? Do you want to try it? You are so rich, it's not bad to bet a few gold coins to let yourself experience the exciting feeling. ."

Claire shook her head, "No, I don't like probabilistic events."

And those few gold coins can't bring him any excitement. If you really want to bring excitement, you can press it down and you can scare the boss who starts the game later.

"The jewelry designer said that Master Mason is more likely to win. He is a professional, so it's not a probabilistic event, right?"

"Master Mason may not even have confidence in him." Claire smiled, not to mention Mason, even the one who planned it, can't say who can win now.

It stands to reason that Mason's strength is weaker than Ona's. The number one person in the jewelry industry for more than ten years is not for nothing, but Claire asked Mason to expose the things between him and Ona. The current public opinion And the situation is more favorable for Mason, so it is really difficult to judge who will win.

"Hahahaha." The female bartender covered her mouth and laughed, "It's really interesting that you talk."

Claire looked back at the man in white again, nodded, and walked out of the tavern.

The man in white thought was too simple. It wasn't as simple as a battle of ideas, and even if it was a battle of ideas, it wasn't a simple and strange truth that the new was destined to outperform the old.
