Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 557 Harvest
As the oldest diamond-producing region in the world, India has produced many precious diamonds, including this Sea of ​​Light, or diamond known as the Great Moghul.

According to historical records, the first owner of the "Sea of ​​Light" was Jahan Shah, the Mughal emperor who ruled northern India.It was paid tribute by the prince Milkimora of southern India in ancient times.

The Mughal emperor Jehan Shah loved this "Sea of ​​Light" diamond, which symbolizes wealth, so fondly of it that he hired top craftsmen to polish it into a tall rose-shaped diamond weighing about 300 carats.

Afterwards, the Sea of ​​Light was treasured in the Mughal Palace for many years, until 1739 when the Persian King Nadir Shah led an army into Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire. The Sea of ​​Light and other famous diamonds were transported back as trophies. Persia.

Since then, the Sea of ​​Light has been hidden in the court of Persia (now Iran), and when the time came in 1958, the then Shah Pahlavi of Iran married and specially invited the world-renowned jeweler Harry Winston (Harry Winston) Made several pieces of jewelry.

One of them is the crown. In the center of the crown is a huge pink diamond weighing about 60 carats.

A large number of pink, blue, yellow and colorless diamonds are inlaid around the bright eye, among which the 10-carat yellow pear-shaped diamond above the "bright eye" is also a famous treasure.

After the Iranian coup in 1979, the diamond and the crown were confiscated by the new Iranian government, and are now stored in an underground vault of a bank in Tehran, and tourists are allowed to visit.

So after the words on the back of this necklace were translated, apart from being excited, the few people present felt a little puzzled. After all, the Sea of ​​Light can be regarded as a diamond with an orderly inheritance. It seems strange that another one appears here. .

But this diamond doesn't look like a fake, because a diamond like this is perfectly capable of having its own name.There is no need to use other diamonds to flaunt yourself.

"I think this should be the diamond left when the rough diamond was processed into the legendary Sea of ​​Light." After thinking for a few seconds, Liang En said with certainty.

"If I remember correctly, this rough diamond was as high as 787 carats, but it finally fell into the hands of Jehan Shah, the famous builder of the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan, and was processed into a more than 300 carat diamond. carat rosette."

"I know that there will definitely be a lot of loss in the process of diamonds being processed from rough stones into gems, but half of the loss is too much even in that era."

"Although part of this loss will be permanent loss, many small diamonds will definitely be cut out. If I guess correctly, this diamond is likely to be the small diamonds that were cut at that time. one.

"Very likely." Varma nodded after thinking for a few seconds. "The appearance of this diamond is not perfect at all. It is very likely that it is one of the diamonds that were produced together with the Sea of ​​Light."

It is easy for people to remember the first, but it is difficult to remember the second and third. For example, in many competitions, it is difficult to remember who is the champion, but the runner-up and third place are hard to say.

Therefore, this one is likely to be the second largest diamond from the pink rough diamond, so it disappeared into history in obscurity, and has been preserved until today.

And at this time, Liang En also obtained the card from this treasure and proved this conjecture with it, which can be regarded as drawing an end to the whole treasure hunting activity.

At least after finding these things, they have been able to determine what the most valuable treasure in the ruins of the temple was, and then infer what the treasure was when the temple was found.

The only regret is that I didn't find out the whereabouts of the British who disappeared after getting most of the treasures, but Mr. Varma has decided to invest time and energy to find them.

Judging from the known situation, the treasures of that year were definitely not a small number, so those people must have left some clues.Therefore, if there is no accident, it is not particularly difficult to find traces of those people.

After all the actions are arranged.The next few people returned to Varma's mansion with this string of diamond necklaces and the gold box, and then everyone prepared to rest for a while to attend the evening dinner.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liang En asked Joan of Arc to help him guard the door, and then checked the six cards he got this time. Thanks to the historical accumulation of these two treasures, the quality of the cards this time is indeed good.

Of course, Liang En also realized that the good card he got this time was mainly due to this pink diamond. After all, the reputation of the Sea of ​​Light is too great, so this diamond has accumulated a large amount of information. Generate stronger cards.

There are six cards in total, four of which are common cards, including one [identification (R)] and three [detection (N)], which do not have the legendary power he wants.

But this is reasonable, after all, neither the pure gold box nor the Mughal diamond has anything to do with myths and legends, so naturally they cannot gather enough power to produce cards in this regard.

As for the other two cards, which are mainly an enhancement card and a skill card, after a simple check, Liang En suddenly felt that his regret of not getting the power of legend had been made up for.

Because one of the two cards is [Voice of India (R)], and the other is [Classical Jewelry Production (SR)], both of which can be regarded as very practical content.

[Voice of India (R): Compared with China, which is also an ancient civilization, India's history is a divided history. Except for a short period of unification, most of India's history appears in geographical terms rather than as a whole.

It was not until the British colonized India that India in the modern sense really came into being. With the rise of nationalism, people of insight in this country also hope to have a unified language to link the whole country together.

But in actual operation, they discovered that this is impossible, because the long-term war and division have made this country fundamentally do not regard itself as a country. At this time, it is a bit wasteful to ask for language unification.

Considering that behind the language problem in India there are a series of religious and ethnic conflicts, so in the foreseeable future, India's chaotic language state will most likely not be changed.

Enhancement card (one-time), consumption of this card allows users to master the 22 official languages ​​currently recognized by India and the ancient Indian Aryan languages ​​Sanskrit, colloquial and Pali, and master the corresponding written knowledge. 】

"Twenty-two languages ​​may not be useful. After all, I don't plan to live in India for a long time, but three ancient Indian languages ​​are very valuable. After all, compared to today's India, although ancient India is not very good at fighting, it also has a brilliant civilization. "

After reading this [Voice of India (R)] card, Liang En quickly thought of the purpose of this card. After all, there are indeed a lot of various materials left by ancient India, and with this card After the card, he was obviously able to develop research work in this area.
