Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 556 Check

If the silver-gilt box can still be seen, it is too difficult to figure out the origin of the gemstone necklace. After all, Indian history itself is a mess.

We all know that the importance of history to a country is self-evident. With history, we can know what we were like before. However, although India is an ancient civilization, there are basically no historical records.

On the one hand, this is because India has only been a geographical term in its long history, and many countries on this land have used their own unique characters and languages ​​to describe history, and even have their own way of dating.

Therefore, even if some historical records are true, it is difficult to fully prove whether this historical event happened without sufficient cultural relics records in this different version.

On the other hand, the history and mythology of India are mixed together. The only two books considered as Indian history books, "Great History" and "Line of the Kings", are full of mythological content, which makes people confused about the relationship between history and mythology. limit.

As a result, it is extremely difficult to understand the gemstone necklace. Fortunately, Liang En discovered that the main stone can be removed before using the card, and there are words engraved under the metal bracket at the back of the gemstone.

"This text should be a native Indian text, but I don't know it." Liang En shook his head and said after carefully looking at the gemstone necklace. "There are too many languages ​​and characters in India, and Indians may not be able to understand all of them."

"Then what should we do next? Do I need to trace these words and delete these photographic materials?" Fan Meng asked after hearing what Liang En said.

"No, of course not. I'm worth more than this diamond necklace." Liang En smiled and shook his hand and said, "You tell the servants outside that we found something good and ask him to call Mr. Varma."

The four servants who came with them when they came in before were all left on the periphery. This is a very common thing for this group of Indian servants. After all, their identities are indeed not suitable for many scenes.

However, this does not mean that the other party can be free for a period of time, because even if they are not by the side of the target they are serving, they must always be ready to provide services after being called.

For example, now Fan Meng just went out and yelled, and soon a servant trotted in, and then notified Mr. Varma immediately using a mobile phone he carried with him.

Liang En and the others originally thought that it might take some time for Mr. Varma to come over, so they simply cleaned up a few stones and sat there to discuss various speculations about the diamond.

It's just that everyone discussed and discussed, and no one came up with any valuable opinions. Only Liang En roughly guessed from the shape of the thing that it should belong to the wealth of a relatively wealthy Indian king.

Somewhat beyond Liang En's expectations, Mr. Varma came very quickly. Only half an hour later, Mr. Varma walked over. Judging from the dusty clothes on his body, the other party was probably sitting Came here on a motorcycle.

For Mr. Varma, this is not a common thing, because for him who is usually very particular about his status, he rarely uses a motorcycle, which looks very indecent.

Liang En felt very satisfied with the other party's trust, because this situation meant that the other party did not doubt what Liang En said at all, and rushed over immediately after receiving the news.

"This is what we found." Liang En put the gold box on the ground first, and then put the necklace on the gold box. "From the size of this pink diamond it's impossible that no one has heard of it, but we don't recognize it."

"Let me see." As a diamond professional, Mr. Varma took the diamond with confidence, but after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't see what the heel of the diamond was.

"These words should record what this thing is, but this kind of words is a little out of the way, and you may need to find those priests to find out." Seeing Liang En pointing to the words on the back of the necklace, Varma nodded and said .

"However, I can assure you that this thing came from southern India, even from around this land, because these characters are very similar to the characters we use now, and they should have been passed down all the way."

So a group of us returned to the previous temple, and then saw a priest in a simple white traditional costume in a room outside the temple.

"That's right, this is a script that was popular in southern India hundreds of years ago. Our current script comes from this script, but with a lot of changes." The priest observed with a magnifying glass. 30 seconds to quickly draw conclusions.

Although it is said that Indians are a mess in recording history, they, as rare scholars among traditional Indians, are still the people who know the most about the past of this country.

"Then what is written here?" Varma was obviously anxious. As an accomplished diamond merchant, even if he couldn't recognize the history of this diamond, he could still see the history of this diamond. precious.

After all, compared to transparent diamonds, colored diamonds are rare, let alone a pink diamond over 50 carats.

Even though this diamond does not look as expected, there are some extremely small cracks and impurities inside, but under the cover of the surrounding gold and small gemstones, this diamond looks much better, reflecting the level of craftsmen back then .

It is also for such a reason that Mr. Varma hopes to know the story behind the diamond to make up for the lack of the diamond itself.Besides, he also knows how important a good story is to a piece of jewelry.

"Don't worry, let me look for it slowly, you have not changed since you were a child." The priest with a gray beard smiled at Varma and took out a thick, old book and opened it , and then began to translate.

For high-caste Indians, it is a very honorable thing to enter a Hindu temple and become a priest, and it is also a tradition in many families.

And this clergyman, who should be the elder of Mr. Varma, finally figured out what was written on the back of this thing after ten minutes.

"The Great Emperor bestowed on Mirki Mora, from the lake on the Sea of ​​Light." After repeatedly confirming that he had made no mistakes in his translation, the old priest said word by word.

"The Sea of ​​Light, this is actually the Sea of ​​Light." After hearing the word "Sea of ​​Light", Liang En and Varma became excited at the same time. One of them is a historian and the other is a diamond dealer. What does the word sea represent.

At the beginning of the 17th century, in the Golconda Valley of India, tens of thousands of Indian slaves dug sand and gravel in the Coral Mine there. Among dozens of tons of variegated quartz gravel, they found a special stone——

This diamond is pure and transparent with light rose red, weighing 787 carats. It is the largest pink gem-level diamond in the world and was later named the Sea of ​​Light.
