Chapter 42 (1/2)

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.
