Chapter 0797: Craftsman
Looking at the appearance of the elderly Ruka, I knew that this trip was probably going to be fruitless, but I didn't want to give up just like that, I checked a lot of information before coming, this Ruka was once the world's top jewelry craftsman, his carving skills are world-famous, Tiffany Jewelry Company once invited him to be a designer with an annual salary of three million US dollars, but unfortunately he refused.

He was last seen at a jewelry fair on Fifth Avenue in New York and has not been seen since.
I asked someone to find his address while I was recuperating from my injuries, and it took a lot of money and a lot of effort to find this master, but I didn't expect that Ruka would be so depressed today.
"I'm not looking for the wrong person, Mr. Ruka, I have a gem here, and I would like to ask you to help design a pair of wedding rings, this gem is very special, and I am afraid that no one but you can do it."
Although I knew that he couldn't do anything, I explained my intention, after all, he is the world's top jeweler, and maybe he can help me.
"Special? What's so special, isn't it just a precious stone? "Ruka was obviously not interested in what I said, maybe he had seen too many gems, just as I had killed too many people, so he seemed indifferent.
"It's really special, there's only one in the world, and I promise you haven't seen it." I still have that confidence, because I want to show him the gem set in the scepter from an Egyptian tomb, called the Eye of the Desert, which the archaeological team has killed so many people to get it, and it ended up in my hands.
Since then I have wanted to make a wedding ring out of this unique gem in the world, and when I married Thea, I would have become one, and although its value is immeasurable, in the words of the archaeological captain, it is priceless, but I don't care about that, I just want to be unique.
"Hehe, I've heard you say this countless times, and it's only after passing through my hand that it's called unique." Although Ruka looked like he might hang up at any time, the arrogance of the world's top master was still there, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"Then take a look, have you ever seen a gem like this?" I took out the gem from my pocket that had been buried in the ground for thousands of years, and it had a faint purple glow, especially when the sun was shining.
The first time I saw this Desert Eye, I thought it was a bit evil, the so-called high priest's holy relic, I always thought it was weird, but as an atheist, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, let alone that this gem contains the special power of nature, and I haven't seen anything special about it for so long.
I handed the Desert Eye to Ruka, and when the purple light reflected in his pupils, he was stunned, and his cloudy eyes burst out with shocking light, and his wrinkled old face suddenly became radiant, like a return to the light, and like a rejuvenation.
"God, this ...... It's amazing, I've never seen such a bizarre gemstone, it's a miracle, you tell me, what is its name and where did you get it? Ruka was excited to stand up, but after two attempts, he couldn't do it, and then I realized that he had no feeling in both legs and was already crippled.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you, I just want to make two rings out of it, can you help me?" This incident is not glorious, the archaeological team has always thought that the Eye of the Desert was buried in the ground by the collapsed tomb, and if this matter is spread, it will affect Caesar's reputation, as long as I don't say it, no one knows that this is the legendary Eye of the Desert.
"You...... You mean, to split it in two? Ruka looked at me with a look in shock.
"Yes!" I took back the Desert Eye and said lightly.
"Do you know what you're doing? To do so would be to ruin this unique treasure in the world, a treasure, you know, priceless. Ruka shouted at me, his face flushed with emotion, and he coughed violently.
"You are wrong, only people are truly priceless, loved ones, lovers! Compared to these, it is nothing more than a shining stone, nothing more. I put the Desert Eye back in my pocket, looked at the old man with a calm gaze, and said lightly.
Ruka stared at me blankly, and after a few moments, the whole person collapsed in his chair like a deflated ball, and suddenly seemed to be much older again.
There was a brief silence in the room, and after a while, Ruka waved his hand weakly and said in an old voice: "I'm sorry, I'm crippled, I can't help you, please be smart!" Ruka slowly closed his eyes after speaking, looking at his dead face, in my experience, I am afraid that time is running out.
I didn't bother him any more, I reached out and took another wad of bills from my pocket and handed it to the woman, even if it was a little gift to the former master, no matter how down, he was a respectable old man, because he had been brilliant.
One last glance at Ruka, I sighed softly and turned around to leave the room, standing at the door I took out the Eye of the Desert and put it in the palm of my hand to look at it, the crystal clear appearance reflected my shadow, and the shadow seemed to be smiling, looking at that smile I actually fell into a trance, my brain was blank, as if I had come to another world, a beautiful place like a fairy tale, there were flowers, there were churches, there seemed to be a lot of people around applauding, laughing, a beautiful woman in a white wedding dress stood opposite and smiled and looked at me, she was very beautiful, It's like a painting, so beautiful that even the surrounding flowers are overshadowed.
I knew it was Thea, but I didn't know her, I forgot her like amnesia, I couldn't help but step forward, trying to catch her and see clearly, but she kept backing away, no matter how much I ran, I couldn't touch the corner of her clothes.
I wanted to shout but couldn't make a sound, just then, a gunshot rang out from nowhere, the blood stained the beautiful picture, the blood hole on her chest stained the white wedding dress, it looked so dazzling, my heart was torn in half, like a gem cut in half on my finger.
"Sir, sir, what's wrong with you?" The sudden sound shattered all the images, I woke up from my trance, my heart was beating wildly, my forehead was covered with cold sweat, I was panting heavily, my eyes were full of fear, it was too real, it was all like it was real, not a dream.
I took two deep breaths, tried to calm myself down, reached out and wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, looked down at the desert eye in my hand, I had long felt that this thing was evil, I didn't expect it to really take people's hearts, it may be that the shadow it reflects has an illusionary effect, as long as you stare at the shadow, you will hallucinate.
I let out a sigh of relief and said secretly, "It's dangerous! You can't just take this thing out. ā
"Sir? Are you uncomfortable? The voice that had pulled me out of my hallucination sounded again, and that's when I noticed that the woman was standing beside me.
"It's nothing, it's just something that comes to mind, do you have something to do with me?" I smiled wryly and shook my head, asking in a calm tone.
