Chapter 1449 The King's Story
Xu and Huo soon waited to be summoned by the king.
After letting the guards retreat, the king asked eagerly, "Where is the gem?"
Xu got the gem, and the king heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the real thing with his own eyes, and asked again: "Where did you find the gem, and where is the person who stole the gem?"
"The thief escaped, but he said he only stole this one gem." Xu Huo said, "There are gems everywhere in the gem city. Is there anything special about this gem? It is worth the king killing so many people for it?"
The king was surprised at first, then sighed, and said in a deep voice: "I have no choice but to. These gems are left in the castle by others and cannot be lost."
As if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time had found a chance to be released, the king told Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu a story.
He and the queen are a loving couple, but they have never had children after marriage. The queen, who likes children very much, began to use some leftover materials to make dolls for her own entertainment. As her skills improved, she could gradually make dolls with various materials. She became a doll, and one day, the dolls she made came to life one after another and became their children.
So far, the dolls made by the queen still maintain the appearance of dolls, with no expression, unable to make sounds, and can only walk around stiffly, occasionally helping them with simple tasks.
Of course, the king is in a fairy tale world, and it’s not surprising that puppets can move and treat humans as parents. Things changed after Xiaosi appeared.
Different from other puppet children, Xiao Si is made of metal. When she was just finished, she couldn't run or jump like other puppets. The queen thought she had failed, but she didn't expect that after a while, she suddenly came out of the warehouse. After walking out, he can speak and think, and he can also do some fine work, such as cleaning and cooking.
The queen got out of hand and began to make more dolls out of metal, and the king was responsible for finding raw materials for her.
While out looking for metal materials, the king came across a puppet, which was different from the roughness of the queen's puppet. Although the puppet could still be seen as a dummy, its appearance was already very close to a real person.
He gave the king a black gem, saying that as long as the black gem is put in the doll, the doll will become a real person who can cry and laugh. He can provide the king with this black gem, but only if the queen makes it He wants to take most of the dolls.
Although the king owns a mountain of gems, he has never seen that kind of black gems, and he took the gems back dubiously, that is, when the queen put the gems into the body of the doll, all other dolls including Xiaosi Neidu became like a king and queen. The queen generously distributed gems to every child, allowing them to establish a country, and they became the masters of this country.
Later, the dolls would come every once in a while, taking away the dolls that the queen had worked so hard to make, and their attitudes became worse every time. They even killed the maids or residents of Gem City directly after they found them, the king Terrified, but he and the queen could never leave the Jewel City again.
After the black gemstone was stolen, the king was worried day and night, fearing that it would lead to disaster if the puppet discovered it, so he closed the city gate and let the guards search for it many times. Things will be passed to the puppet's ears through other channels.
"But it's better now, the gem has finally been found." Wang Dynasty Xu Huo and Xu Huo showed grateful smiles, "Thank you, strangers."
Xu Huo paused, "Does the Queen know about this?"
"I didn't tell her," said the king with tenderness in his eyes, "I'm the only one who is afraid."
"Where did those dolls that were killed go?" Yan Jiayu couldn't help asking: "Did the queen restore it?"
The king shook his head, "If she knew that the puppet she made was killed, she must be very sad."
"You are so kind to the queen." Xu Huo asked: "Can we see the queen again?"
The king looked at them, "The queen is worried that I am too tired these two days, and now I am resting in bed."
means that it is impossible to see them again.
It doesn't matter if you can see him or not, this time is enough.
Xu Huo handed a black gem to the king.
The king happily held it in his hand, and immediately took out the magnifying glass from the drawer and looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly his face changed, "This is not the black gem that I lost at all!"
"No?" Xu Huo also looked surprised, "Didn't you see the photos?"
"It's very similar in the photo, but it's not the one I lost!" The king seemed to have run out of patience, and threw the black gemstone on the ground casually, trying to drive them away.
"Did I take it wrong?" Yan Jiayu interrupted at this time, felt in his pocket, and finally took out several pieces of black ore and sent them to the king, "Take a look."
The ores were about the same size, and they were all black. The king didn't seem to remember what the lost gems looked like, so he could only pick up the magnifying glass again.
Yan Jiayu stood not far from him, asked what is special about the ore that can make dolls come alive, and offered to help identify it.
Xu Huo let go of his spiritual world and turned his attention to the rose garden behind.
Behind the flower wall used to block the view are roses that have no borders at first glance. The archways interspersed with them and the wildly growing flower trees that have not been particularly carefully pruned make this park look unclear. Can block the line of sight, not surprisingly, he quickly found the puppet buried at the foot of the tree behind the flower arch promenade not far away.
There are quite a few, including residents, maids, and guards.
Through the difference of space rays, I even found a bunch of props.
That's right, it's a bunch of props, packed in a metal box, and placed in the flower wall compartment where the tools are placed.
The level of the props cannot be recognized with the naked eye, and Xu Huoren is still in the castle, unable to touch or get the props.
"Sunflower No. 1?" Yan Jiayu called him.
Xu got his attention back to the study.
The king has already found his lost black gemstone from those few gemstones, and took the initiative to find an excuse for them, "The thief is too cunning to mix real gemstones with stones of the same color!"
"You helped me find the gem, you can tell me what reward you want!"
"When we came to the castle yesterday, we heard that a thief was executed. We want his belongings." Xu Huo said.
This is nothing, the king immediately asked the guards to do it.
After a while, the guard came over with a bag, "Inside are the things taken from criminal No. 37, including clothes and shoes."
Xu Huolue took a look, put away the bag and bid farewell to the king, and said to the doubtful Yan Jiayu, "Let's talk about it when we go out."
