The young king tried his best to maintain his majesty, but his voice was trembling. After he said what he said, the guards guarding the hall became more nervous.
"Why should I do this?" Xu Huo asked back, "I made it very clear when I came here. I am the king of Gemstone City and I am here to get the most beautiful gemstone. If you don't want to return it, there is nothing I can do. Why would you do it for a stone?
To kill someone?"
"But that's not an ordinary gem, it's the most beautiful gem." The king retorted, and then asked the guard to pass a document, "We have returned the most beautiful gem that we borrowed. This is the signature of the Gem City."
The torn documents between the two countries were crumpled and sealed in a glass photo frame. The guards carefully kept a certain distance from Xu Huo, as if they were extremely afraid that he would damage the tattered page of the paper.
"This document is authentic." The king said with some urgency: "Since you were sent by Gem City, you should be able to verify the signature on it."
"Signatures are easy to forge," Xu Huo said, "This does not prove that you have returned the most beautiful gems."
"We have really returned it!" The king couldn't help but stand up. "In addition to this return document, we also have all the correspondence between the fifth king and the Gem City, including the thank you letter that came with the final return of the gem, in duplicate.
, one part was sent to Gem City, and one part was left in Moon City. If you don’t believe it, I can show them all to you!”
After hearing this, Xu Huo thought for a while, "It is true that letters are harder to forge, if you still have a reply from the King of Gemstone City."
The king immediately called the guards to get it, but was stopped by a man dressed as a duke, "King, we have given the letter to outsiders many times, and no one will believe it."
The young king had great hope, "What if he believes it?"
Then he lowered his voice again, "Uncle, I don't want to die..."
The guards quickly fetched the letters and moved tables and chairs. Xu Huo opened and read the letters at the door.
Although Moon City has now reached the tenth generation of kings, it does not mean that the fifth king is a long time ago. In fact, the fifth king's term was only a few years, and he only borrowed money from Gem City at the end of his term.
I looked at the most beautiful gems and refused to return them.
However, judging from these letters, the process of borrowing and returning the most beautiful gemstones was very smooth, and there were no conflicts between the two parties.
"Since you said you have returned the most beautiful gem, what will be displayed at noon tomorrow?" Xu Huo raised his head and asked.
"It's the gem of Moon City." The king said, "This is a story from a long time ago. Do you want to hear it?"
You are here, of course you have to listen.
Then Xu Huo heard the reason why he borrowed and returned the most beautiful gemstone.
This matter also starts with the third generation king of Moon City. This king didn't like political affairs and couldn't stay in the castle. He pushed all the political affairs to his younger brother and became obsessed with searching for gems. He often ran around outside the city.
After no news for three months, he suddenly sent a box back. In the box was a half-fist-sized white gemstone and a letter.
The letter mentioned that he and his companions found this gem in a remote mountain with few human traces. This gem is different from other gems. It is perfect from any angle and can release stronger energy than other gems.
A more dazzling light, especially when placed in the sun.
He decided to use this gem as a symbol of Moon City and told his brother that other gems would be shipped back one after another.
In the following months, the third generation king would send back a white gem every once in a while. When he sent the gem for the last time, his letter mentioned that he had discovered a white gem that had never been seen before.
The most beautiful white gemstone so far, it also came with a picture, and said that he would personally take this gemstone back to the city.
However, a month later, an attendant of the third-generation king brought back bad news. Someone on the way coveted the most beautiful gems. They got drunk and stole the gems. When the king woke up and learned that the gems were missing, he became possessed.
He seemed to be searching everywhere, but after a long search without success, he returned to the mountains where he had found the gem, hoping to find another piece. Unexpectedly, he was accidentally attacked by a wild beast and died, and the body was not recovered.
This has brought a big blow to Moon City. However, as a country surrounded by forests, Moon City often experiences attacks by wild beasts. It can only be said that this is a tragedy.
Later, the king's younger brother succeeded to the throne and became the fourth generation king. He was saddened by his brother's death, so he sealed the white gems and did not follow his brother's idea of making them a symbol of the Moon City.
But by chance, a businessman from Gem City mentioned that he had seen a beautiful white gemstone in the King's Castle that could shine in the dark.
So the fourth generation king began to try his best to find out the news about Gem City. However, the king of Gem City hid the gem very tightly, and the gem was a surplus evenly distributed among the people of the city, so he was not sure about the source of the gem.
Unable to query Gem City.
During this period, he also sent people to Gem City, but they failed to see the white gem. It was not until the relationship between the two countries gradually became harmonious that the fifth generation king borrowed the gem.
The king of Gem City agreed and took the initiative to send someone to deliver the gem to Moon City. However, after seeing it, the fifth generation king felt that there was nothing outstanding about it. The white gem was similar to the white gem they had sealed in the warehouse, and it was not as good as the white gem they had stored in the warehouse.
It's not as beautiful as the third generation king described it.
After thinking for a long time, Moon City finally believed that it was just a white gem from the same source, which might have been found by someone else in the mountains, and was not the piece stolen by the third-generation king.
However, after the escort team from Gem City left, there were rumors in the castle that the King of Gem City had stolen the most beautiful gems, because some guards had seen the white gems in the warehouse and knew the king of the third generation king, insisting that such a long time had passed.
There is no second white gemstone anywhere else, so the King of Gemstone City must have stolen the most beautiful gemstone.
Although the fifth generation king strictly ordered everyone in the castle not to mention this matter after returning the most beautiful gem, privately the guards and maids still spread the word.
The rumors had no impact. Just when the fifth king thought that the matter could come to an end, rumors suddenly spread from Gem City, saying that Moon City had borrowed the most beautiful gems and failed to return them. Before the king could investigate further,
A group of strangers came to the city and held him hostage for the most beautiful gems.
The king was done talking, and even after presenting numerous evidences, the strangers were not convinced, so he had no choice but to take out a white gem and hand it to them.
Unexpectedly, the stranger came back within two days and started killing people in the castle.
