Chapter 1454 Different angles of the background story
Foreigners kept saying that this was the result of deceiving them, and threatened the king with death, or held the king's family members hostage to force the king to tell the whereabouts of the most beautiful gem. However, there was no most beautiful gem in Moon City, so the king had no choice but to die.
Many people died at that time, and the king's vitality was severely damaged. Those outsiders left in anger when they saw that they couldn't get anything out of them.
Then the sixth generation of kings succeeded, and the sixth generation of kings and the subsequent seven, eight, and nine generations of kings all repeated the last experience of the fifth generation of kings, and the intervals became shorter and shorter.
"No matter what method we use, we can't win the trust of outsiders. No matter whether we give the white gem or not, the royal family will be massacred." The young king choked and said: "Someone will definitely snatch the white gem tomorrow, maybe tomorrow
The person who stole the gems at night will come back to kill me..."
A large number of letters confirmed the truth of what the King of Moon City told. In an extremely tense atmosphere, Xu Huo picked up the last letter from the third generation king, looked at the picture of the most beautiful gem on it, and asked: "
Did the attendant who returned that year say anything about the size, weight or other characteristics of the most beautiful gemstone?"
"Most of the attendants who followed the third-generation king died in the process of searching for gems. The last attendant who returned to Moon City was infected with the disease and died of a high fever two days later." The Duke answered on his behalf.
"Are you sure that the gems borrowed from Gem City are the most beautiful gems?" Xu Huo asked again, "No one in Moon City has ever seen the most beautiful gems."
This question stopped the people in Moon City, and after a while the Duke said: "We have asked those who have seen the most beautiful gems, and the descriptions are consistent."
"Is it the same as the one you borrowed from Gem City?" Xu Huo raised his eyebrows.
"That's right," the Duke said, "I think it's because there are no white gems in the Gem City, so I think that one is the most beautiful. That gem is not the one lost by the third generation king."
The rhetoric on both sides is different, and one side is always lying.
"How do you return the most beautiful gems?" Xu Huo paused and asked.
"To show our solemnity, we also sent guards to Gem City and sent them into the castle." The Duke said: "Both parties signed and sealed it. If we didn't send the gem back, there is no way the people in Gem City would let us take it.
Come back with this document."
Xu Huo couldn't help but nodded, "That's true."
There are no traces of old age on the letter, and the experience of the most beautiful gemstone is probably no different from what the Moon City people described. The problem is that the Moon City people don’t know what the “most beautiful gemstone” the third generation king said is like, and whether it is the same as the Moon City people.
That one is right. The people in Gem City who have seen the most beautiful gems say it is similar to what the people in Moon City have seen.
On the contrary, the King of Gem City was unclear about the most beautiful gems. Normally, the players who took the gems from Moon City before would have gone to Gem City to return the gems, but in the end he claimed that they had been deceived by Moon City, indicating that Gem City confirmed that they were from Moon City.
The white gem is not the most beautiful gem. The King of Gem City saw the returned gem many times, but when he proposed to go to Moon City to ask for the most beautiful gem, he did not say so clearly. Instead, he gave wrong information - if the white gem is really as gorgeous as described
The brilliance is indeed different from all the gems in the Gem City. Anyone with eyes can distinguish it.
"Do you know anything about the origin of Gem City?" He asked instead.
Moon City is another perspective on the emergence of Gem City.
The king of Gem City said that the residents of the country were turned into dolls. This was confirmed from the side, because according to Moon City's understanding, Gem City suddenly appeared, and a large number of people suddenly moved in, bringing with them
Countless wealth, even because there were too many gems and nowhere to put them, they could only be used to build cities and houses.
But the legend of the evil dragon circulating in Gem City is different. The so-called evil dragon is actually a group of thieves. They robbed houses and occupied mines, and accumulated considerable wealth. The surrounding countries could not do anything to them, and they even asked whoever could kill them.
The suggestion that if these thieves were killed, the wealth would belong to whoever, this suggestion was recognized by several countries that were deeply troubled at the time.
Later, of course, the thieves suddenly disappeared, and soon Gem City appeared.
After thinking about it, maybe the people who built Gem City killed the thieves, but Moon City didn't expect that those thieves would have so many gems, such beautiful gems, far more than Moon City had to wait and go through all the trouble to find.
, the only one that can be compared is probably the white gem found by the third generation king.
Speaking of this, Xu Huo suddenly asked: "How many people did the third generation king take out to search for gems?"
"There are about a hundred people including maids and chamberlains," the Duke replied.
"Except for the most beautiful gems, didn't the third generation king mention any other gems?" Xu Huo asked again.
"Yes." The Duke nodded.
When hundreds of people die until only one attendant is left, it is not appropriate even if they encounter large beasts many times. Moreover, if there are serious losses along the way, the king should send people back to ask for help. It is not appropriate to lead a few people in the forest to search for gems.
Smart move.
"The third generation king always entrusts caravans to transport white gems and letters?"
"Yes, according to the people in the caravan, it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, so the king entrusted it to the caravan."
If outside the dungeon, normal people would definitely not entrust such an important thing to the caravan, but the dungeon is a fairy tale world, and the integrity of the caravan is recognized. It is completely understandable for the third generation king to do this when he cannot spare manpower.
, and there was nothing wrong with sending the letter in the first place.
"Can I see the relics of the third generation king?" After thinking for a moment, Xu Huo said, "In exchange, I can come forward and take away the white gem tomorrow."
"real?"
"real!"
Two voices of disbelief came from the king and the duke respectively. They had heard these words from the strangers before, but many of them didn't even hear them before they started asking for the most beautiful gems. They originally thought that Xu Huo would at most leave Moon City on his own initiative.
Unexpectedly, it gave them such a big surprise!
"I just said someone will believe us!" The king jumped up from the throne and ordered the people around him to quickly take out the king's relics guarded in the warehouse. He also took the initiative to take Xu Huo to the study and living room, because there were many
The items were all used by kings of all dynasties and have not been replaced, and some reading notes and notes have not been specially separated.
Although they still can't completely trust him, the Duke and others have lowered their guard a lot, and even said: "It's not easy to meet such a reasonable outsider..."
