Chapter 491: The Origin of Colored Diamonds
Rainbow Diamond ......
In an instant, it was not only Huang Jinbao and Zhang Chu who were inexplicable.
They don't understand why Xiao Jingxing was kidnapped at such a critical moment. Wang Feng was not in a hurry to find and search, but found Mr. Louis and asked this question.
Could it be that there is something strange about this?
In the hearts of the two people, such a thought came to mind, and they naturally looked towards Mr. Louie.
Immediately, they found that Mr. Louie's face had changed drastically, and the change in his expression was very obvious.
Obviously, Mr. Louie, knew about the rainbow diamond.
Wait a minute......
Caught off guard, Huang Jinbao thought of the name of that oil painting again.
What's it called?
Rainbow in the Alps.
Rainbow Diamond, Rainbow Painting......
There really can't be some kind of relationship between the two, right?
Suddenly, Huang Jinbao and the others also thought of why Wang Feng was not in a hurry to find clues, but came here.
In other words, this move itself is looking for clues.
Under the gaze of everyone, Mr. Louie's expression changed for a long time before gently beckoning everyone to enter.
Everyone looked at him and walked into the castle, the familiar living room.
"Why are you here again?"
Little John was watching TV, munching on a cookie, amazed.
"Something. ”
Wang Feng said: "There are some things, ask your grandfather for advice, and I will trouble you again." ”
"What's the matter?"
Little John blinked, a little curious.
"Have you heard of the Rainbow Diamond?"
Wang Feng asked directly: "A colored diamond, more than 100 carats of colored diamonds." ”
“?”
Little John looked at Mr. Louie, and the two began to communicate.
It was French, and others naturally couldn't understand it. But since John's expression changed, everyone could also know that he was very surprised and unexpected......
After a long time, his eyes widened and he said, "Fancy colored diamonds are our family's ......."
"Huh!"
Wang Feng and the others glanced at each other.
Sure enough, as expected.
"But ......"
John Jr. came to a twist: "More than 100 years ago, in the turbulent times, that fancy color diamond ...... It has been lost in our family. ”
Lose?
Wang Feng's eyes flickered, was it lost or sold?
Of course, no matter what the reason is, the rainbow diamond is really related to the Louis family anyway. He groaned in his heart, and said again: "Little John, help ask your grandfather, what is the origin of that rainbow diamond?"
"Oh. ”
Little John asked.
When Mr. Louis heard this, the expression on his face was a little complicated, and a look of remembrance appeared.
Immediately, he stood up and headed for the side hallway.
The others were stunned.
What's going on?
It shouldn't be.
After a while, Mr. Louie walked out again. In his hand, there was one more, a thick book. The cowhide cover is black and thick. The leather surface is also a little cracked, and the flowers are patterned.
"Hoo ......"
Mr. Louis blew and dust flew up.
"Ahem!"
Little John coughed, quickly blocked his coffee, and complained a few words by the way. Monsieur Louis ignored him, took a cloth and gently wiped the dust off the book.
After that, he opened the book, and everyone looked at it and was stunned.
It turns out that the so-called book is not a book, but a picture album. Large folio page, painted in watercolor. One page drawn, somewhat thick. Dozens of pages, combined into a thick album.
Wang Feng glanced at it and found that the content of the color painting seemed to be in the form of a comic book, what story was it telling?
He wasn't sure......
But there is also a gut feeling that this album is key.
"What is this picture?"
When in doubt, Wang Feng chose to inquire directly.
There was no need for a translator, and Mr. Louis seemed to understand and spoke directly. John the Younger relayed: "This is the Louie family, the first earl...... Well, it's the sixth generation of ancestors who built the castle......"
As he spoke, he also pointed to the portraits on the walls.
"That's him, Charlie!" little John called by his name.
Everyone saw that the sixth oil painting was a middle-aged man dressed gorgeously and a little extravagant.
His physiognomy looks a little ...... Mean streak.
Well, the eagle hooks the nose, the gaze is slanted, the black and white eyes are benevolent, and there is a bit of a yin owl feeling.
All in all, it doesn't look like a good kind.
Oh, of course, that's idealistic parlance. Perhaps, in the minds of the members of the Louis family, their ancestors are famous and heroic.
"In that year, Charles succeeded in the Earl and built a castle here. ”
Little John said slowly: "On the day the castle was completed...... In the sky, suddenly a very beautiful, very beautiful rainbow appeared......"
"So, our castle has a name in itself. ”
"Rainbow Castle. ”
Little John translated, his expression a little surprised: "After that, Charles sent people to explore the fiefdom, and even went deep into the nearby Alps, and was lucky to find a colored diamond. ”
"That colored diamond is the heart of the rainbow. It is full of charm, and it is said that it shines in the light, and every face, it can refract brilliant colorful light, like a brilliant rainbow. ”
"So Charlie, I gave it the name Rainbow Heart. ”
Little John shrugged: "It's a pity that the Rainbow Heart, which has been passed down in the Louie family for two hundred years, was lost." For more than 100 years, the Louis family has been inquiring about its whereabouts, but there has been no news. ”
As he spoke, Mr. Louis suddenly became very excited......
"He asked you, where did you hear about this Rainbow Heart?"
Little John was also a little confused.
"This ...... Explain later. ”
Wang Feng stretched out his hand and said softly, "Can I look at the drawing book?"
As soon as Little John said that Mr. Louis was very happy, he directly handed the painting book to Wang Feng.
"Who drew this?"
Wang Feng opened the painting book, looked at it, and asked.
Huang Jinbao and Zhang Chu also came to the side and watched intently. Sure enough, this picture is in the form of a comic strip, telling the "exploits" of this Count of Charles.
For example, building castles.
For example, to govern fiefdoms...... The small town in the vicinity, from a small village to a town, is his credit.
And then there's ...... Rainbow Heart.
A few pages after the book, a sparkling colored diamond appeared.
This colored diamond should be the heart of the rainbow.
In the picture book, this rainbow heart is depicted in detail. Let everyone know what it looks like. It's diamond-shaped, slightly larger than an egg, and it's very evenly sliced.
In the picture, the diamond was also manually added with special effects.
That's the kind of special effect that shines brightly.
Of course, the special effects are painted, which shows that the painter's style is delicate and his skills are extraordinary.
“XXXX。 ”
Just then, John Jr. said his name.
"What?"
Wang Feng was stunned, and then relieved.
The author of the painting book is the same person as the author of the huge oil painting.
