Chapter 1453 The Story of Moon City
The young king tried his best to maintain his majesty, but his voice trembled a little. After he spoke, the guards guarding the hall became more nervous.
"Why did I do this?" Xu Huo asked back, "I made it very clear when I came here. I came here on behalf of the king of Gem City to get back the most beautiful gem. To kill?"
"But those are not ordinary gems, they are the most beautiful gems." The king retorted, and then asked the guards to pass a document, "We have returned the most beautiful gems borrowed at the beginning. This is the signature of the gem city."
The once-shredded documents between the two countries were crumpled and sealed in a glass photo frame, and the guards carefully kept a certain distance from Xu Huo, as if they were extremely afraid that he would damage the torn paper.
"This document is genuine." The king said eagerly, "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 standing up, "In addition to this return document, we also have all the correspondence between the fifth king and Gem City, including the letter of thanks attached to the final return of the gemstone, in duplicate , one was sent to Gem City, and the other was left in Moon City, if you don’t believe me, I can show you all of them!”
Xu Huo thought for a while after listening, "The letter is indeed more difficult to forge, if you still have the king of Gem City to reply."
The king immediately asked the guards to take it, but was stopped by a man dressed as a duke, "King, we have given the letter to foreigners many times to read, 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, and 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 away. In fact, the term of the fifth king is only a few years. It was only at the end of his term that he borrowed money from Gem City. Looking at the most beautiful gemstones, there was a refusal to return them.
However, judging from these letters, the process of borrowing and returning the most beautiful gems is still very smooth, and there is no conflict between the two parties.
"Since you said that you have returned the most beautiful gemstone, what will be displayed at noon tomorrow?" Xu Huo raised his head and asked.
"It's the jewel of Moon City." The king said: "This is a story from a long time ago, do you want to hear it?"
Everyone is here, of course you have to listen.
Then Xu Huo heard the antecedents of borrowing and returning the most beautiful gem.
This matter has to start with the third generation king of Moon City. This king doesn't like political affairs, and he can't stay in the castle at ordinary times. Once there was no news for three months, he suddenly sent back a box, which contained a white streamer gem half the size of a fist and a letter.
It is mentioned in the letter that he and his companions found this kind of gemstone in a rare mountain. This gemstone is different from other gemstones. More dazzling light, especially when placed in the sun.
He decided to use this gemstone as a symbol of Moon City, and told his brother that he would send other gemstones back one after another.
In the next few months, the third generation king would send back a white gemstone every once in a while. When he sent the gemstone for the last time, he mentioned in his letter that he found a white gemstone that had never been seen before. The most beautiful white gem so far, with a picture attached, and said that he would bring this gem back to the city in person.
However, a month later, an attendant of the third generation king brought back bad news. Some people coveted the most beautiful gems on the way, and they got drunk and stole the gems. When the king woke up and learned that the gems were gone, he became possessed. He seemed to search everywhere, but after searching for nothing for a long time, he returned to the deep mountain where he had discovered the gem, trying to find another piece, but he was accidentally attacked by a beast and died, and the body was not found.
This dealt a big blow to Moon City, but as a country surrounded by forests, there are often wild animal attacks in Moon City, so it can only be said that this is a tragedy.
Later, the younger brother of the king succeeded to the throne and became the fourth generation king. He was saddened by his brother's death, so he sealed up those white gemstones, and did not make them a symbol of Moon City according to his brother's idea.
But by chance, a businessman from the Gem City mentioned that he had seen a beautiful white gemstone in the King's Castle, which could shine in the dark.
So the fourth-generation king began to try to find out about the gem city, but the king of the gem city hid the gem very tightly, and the gem was a surplus distributed equally by 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 the Gem City, but they failed to see the white gemstone. It was not until the relationship between the two countries gradually became harmonious that the fifth generation king borrowed the gemstone.
The King of Gem City agreed, and took the initiative to send someone to send the gem to Moon City, but the fifth generation king felt that there was nothing special about it after seeing it. The white gem was similar to the white gem they sealed in the warehouse. Less than the beauty described by the third generation king.
After a long time of thinking, Moon City finally decided that it was just a white gem from the same source, which might have been found by someone else in the deep mountains, not the one that was stolen by the third generation king.
However, after the **** team of 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 of kings, insisting that so long had passed There is no second piece of white gemstone in other places, so the king of Gem City must have stolen the most beautiful gemstone.
Although the fifth generation king strictly ordered the castle not to mention this matter after returning the most beautiful gemstone, the guards and maids still spread the word of mouth in private.
The rumors had no effect. Just when the fifth king thought the matter could come to an end, rumors spread from Gem City, saying that Moon City had borrowed the most beautiful gem and did not return it. Then a group of foreigners came from the city and kidnapped him to ask for the most beautiful gems.
The king's saliva was exhausted, and he presented a lot of evidence but failed to convince the outsiders, so he had to take out a white gemstone and hand it to them.
Unexpectedly, the outsider returned within two days after leaving, and was still killing people in the castle.
