Chapter 42
However, the Legendary on Delhi Purple Sapphire is not over yet, all this is just the beginning.
Although there are various bad luck legends on this sapphire, people’s curiosity and longing for it are still inevitable, so in 1890, the United Kingdom scientist Edward Heron-Allen got this gem. , Became its new owner.
Edward was originally a lawyer of London small reputation and producer of Jean, but later became a scientist. He has deep research on foraminifera and single-celled aquatic organisms. It is worth mentioning that Edward is also a friend of the famous United Kingdom writer Wilde.
As people expected, Edward also encountered a series of bad luck after he got this piece of “Delhi Purple Sapphire”.
The first bad luck is his friends. Two of Edward’s friends once borrowed this gem from him to go home to watch. As a result, one friend has repeatedly encountered misfortunes, and the other friend is a friend. Singer, since she borrowed this gem to watch, she suddenly started “losing her voice” and never sang again since then.
At first, when he heard this story, Ling Xiao noticed some of them. Except for the first owner Felice, what kind of damage did the other previous owners not at all suffer, and more hurt It was his friends, so Ling Xiao was keenly aware of the strangeness.
As Ling Xiao thought, Edward himself was not at all hurt in this matter, but even though he did not believe in any “curse” at first, when his friends both suffered bad luck Later, Edward was finally cruel and threw this priceless gem into London Regent’s Canal.
Three months later, this gem was strangely returned to him. It turned out that a dredger had fished the gem from the canal. A businessman bought it from the crew and returned it to Edward.
This is very interesting. Edward is just an ordinary scientist. Someone is willing to return a precious gem to its former owner at no cost. Such a person is in the entire human race. In history, there are few in thousands of years.
Later, perhaps finally fed up with the shadow of this “cursed gem”, Edward sent it to the owner of the bank manager and asked the bank to keep it in safekeeping until he died. To. It is said that Edward said at the time: “I feel it will have an adverse effect on my newborn daughter.”
Ling Xiao analyzed this matter, and he came to a terrifying conclusion, this terrifying The “cursed gem” should indeed have some kind of curse, and invalidate this curse to its owner, and it may even have other special effects. At least, Edward got the gemstone in 1890, and it was not until 1943 that he died after more than fifty years.
Ling Xiao is not sure about the age at which Edward possessed this “cursed gem”, but conservatively hesitated at the age of 20, so Edward has been alive for at least seventy years, and his age is more than half. It was extremely rare before the century. From this, we can infer some of its magic.
After Edward’s death, this “cursed gem” was donated to the British Natural History Museum, like most of his other treasures.
Even Edward left a warning note in the box, which read: “This gem is obviously cursed. It is stained with blood. Everyone who owns it will lose Honor..”
Why is honor, not life, money, friendship, or anything else? After all, two of Edward’s friends paid the price for it.
So a terrifying conclusion came out, especially after Ling Xiao got the Divine Magic List, he has a deeper understanding of these things. Edward should use some of his two friends. Things in exchange for something you shouldn’t have.
Of course, these were originally Ling Xiao’s speculations, but now seeing the cursed gem, as a cultivator, Ling Xiao can clearly feel the cursed gem itself Some extremely obscure fluctuations.
In fact, I don’t know it is Ling Xiao. Everyone in the whole exhibition hall, both men and women, is deeply attracted by this blue purple gemstone. Only this blue purple gemstone has a deep tone in the eyes. , As if an eye with vortex keeps attracting everyone’s sight.
Ling Xiao shook the head vigorously, waking up from this temptation, he was subconsciously looking around. At this time, there were not many people who were still awake. One was Holly Robinson next to her, and the other It’s Scott West, and also a gray-haired old man in a tuxedo that Ling Xiao has never noticed.
Okay at this time, everyone’s attention is on the gems, and no one else has noticed Ling Xiao’s observation.
It’s really interesting, Ling Xiao’s mouth chuckles. Almost at the same time, Delhi Purple Sapphire said that the enchantment that was attached to it was taken away in an instant, and everyone present at the same time woke up, but it was surprising that they were completely unaware of oneself’s previous scene.
Holly Robinson and Scott West looked at the gem with amazement, but Ling Xiao noticed that the gray-haired old man was standing there with a normal face, seeming to be right about all this Get used to it.
Ling Xiao’s gaze instantly shifted from the old man to the gemstone, because at that moment, the old man had already noticed the attention of others, and looked at all around with a surprised look. Finally, his gaze was on Scott West. His body flashed past, and the color of vigilance flashed across his eyes.
The exhibition did not end until the evening, and at this time, the museum had recovered all the gems and locked them in the depths of the museum.
The exhibition at this time lasts for three days. This Sunday is just the first day. Even so, the museum will keep all the gems firmly. In addition to the museum’s own protection system, there is also a small team of police officers patrolling in the vicinity at all times to guard against any thieves who may attempt to break in and steal.
Even as the owner of the gems loaned out at this time, even Scott West is not allowed to stay in the museum. He even knows only a small part of the museum’s protective system and the real core things. , He can’t touch half points either.
At this point, even if Scott West protested countless times to the museum, the museum did not retreat in the slightest. Although all this was in his expectation, he was still a little frustrated and hoped that all this would not be destroyed. His original rush.
The night was getting darker, and the fog gradually enveloped the entire museum. In the middle of the night, it was very quiet. Under the fog, a rush of footsteps gradually approached the periphery of the museum’s back wall.
Within a hundred meters of the museum, the lights have dispelled the fog nearby. You can almost see strips of black silhouettes rushing towards the museum with silencer weapons. There are not many patrols nearby. The security guard has been dealt with silently.
And what is even more surprising is that the occurrence of these things did not even alarm the surrounding protection system of the museum.
Ling Xiao stood on the top of a tall building in the distance, staring sharply at everything that happened below. He knew that this happened only because there were people inside and outside the museum interacting with each other, covering up these people’s whereabouts while also guiding them forward.
Ling Xiao almost watched the group of people spit into the museum. You must know that only in the first floor exhibition hall of the museum’s main hall, there are a variety of rare antiquities, but these things are a pity It’s not easy to take away, and it’s not good to take action.
All day today, although Ling Xiao didn’t enter the main hall of the museum, he did his homework and knew what was going on inside.
As Ling Xiao imagined, as soon as the group of people entered the first floor of the Natural History Museum, the two extremely tall dinosaur skeletons were full of hideous eyes. These were Triceratops and The skeleton of Tyrannosaurus Rex came alive in the dim light. Several people who entered the pavilion couldn’t help but shudder.
