Chapter 461: Nioh's Adventure! (6) Diamonds larger than the palm of the fist
"Kaede-chan, Conan......" Ayumi looked at the two of them with a bitter face, "What do you two mean by that......"
"That's right." Yuan Tai also said with a little dissatisfaction, "I can't read the words written on this stone!" ”
"It's easy." Asaka smiled slightly, "'The Cave of Nioh is between the Sun Wheel and the next few feet, and all the elders have gathered in the place of extreme prosperity and prosperity, and the Stone of Nioh is there. Isn't that what it says? ”
"We just can't understand this." Mitsuhiko said speechlessly.
"To put it simply, Nioh's place of residence is next to the sun, and there are many old people of high moral standing gathered in a prosperous place, and the Stone of Nioh is there." Conan chuckled, "This translation is simple enough, isn't it?" ”
"So, this Nioh's Stone is a treasure?" Mitsuhiko was the first to react, "But what exactly is the Nioh Stone?" ”
"The so-called Nioh refers to Vajra Lux." Conan is much more familiar with Japanese historical allusions than Asa Ha, "And the stone he owns naturally refers to diamond." ”
"Diamonds?" The children looked at each other, and there was a slight guess in their minds, but they were still not sure.
"Diamond translated into English is diamond, which means the emperor of gemstones." Gray Yuan said in a cold voice, "Change to a familiar translation, which is diamond." ”
"Diamonds!" The children suddenly woke up and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Actually, it's easy to judge from the ancient texts." Asa Yu chuckled, "'O man who is not afraid of the wrath of the king, hold the stone that is larger than the palm of his fist in his palm, and recognize the principle of eternal eternal beauty', think about it carefully, what other gem than diamonds dares to describe yourself as 'eternal eternal and unchanging'?" ”
"Legend has it that diamonds arrived in Japan around the end of the Tokugawa period." Gray Yuan looked at Asa Yu, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "The timeline is just right!" ”
"The next words are the point." A mysterious smile appeared on Asaba's face, "Translated, it means something like 'Those who are not afraid of Nioh's wrath, hold the jewel larger than the palm of your fist in your hand, and then learn the eternal truth.'" ”
"Greater than ...... The jewel of the fist?! Mitsuhiko's eyes widened suddenly, "Do you mean ......?"
"This diamond ......," even Conan froze, "actually...... No wonder it attracted him here. ”
"Ah, that's right." Light Feather smiled slightly, "At present, the largest diamond in the world is the "Cullinan" weighing 3,106 carats. Bought by the British government for $750,000, the "Cullinan" was cut and inlaid on the British scepter and the Queen's crown, a symbol of power and dignity. If the size of this diamond is equivalent to a human fist, then this diamond is indeed an astonishing treasure. ”
Asa Yu has some interest in this diamond, but he is not short of money, he still has a large amount of scientific research funds in his account that Miyamoto Ken took from the organization, if he can take it out, it is enough for Asa Yu and Ash Yuan to spend their lives, and this diamond Asahia is just from the perspective of an appreciator, not interested in how much it can actually be sold for.
"How?" Asa Yu turned his head and chuckled and looked at Conan and Gray Plains, as well as the children behind him, "Are you interested in this diamond and the mansion behind you?" ”
"Huh?" Ayumi and the others didn't react for a while, "Xiao Feng, what do you mean...... Are you going to take us in? ”
"Really?!" Mitsuhiko and Motota looked at Asa Yu excitedly, "This time, it was Xiao Feng who took the initiative to take us in!"
"It's so rare!"
It's no wonder that the children think so, every time they encounter this kind of thing, generally speaking, Conan is first aroused interested, and then he slips away first, and then Gray Yuan takes the children and Asa Yu to follow behind, but this time it turned around, Conan hasn't spoken yet, and Asa Yu actually proposed to go in first, which has to be said, is a very rare thing.
"Interesting." Conan was stunned for a moment, and a hint of excitement flashed in his warm blue eyes, "This situation is simply too compatible with the agency house behind him." ”
"It seems that this time, I really met the grand occasion of cutting diamonds with diamonds." Gray Yuan also chuckled and slowly walked to Asa Yu's side, "Let's go and have a look." ”
"It's starting to rain too." Conan looked at the dripping raindrops, the corners of his mouth hooked, and found an excellent reason, "Why don't we go to the house to take shelter from the rain?" ”
"Good!" The children looked at each other and shouted excitedly.
"But you have to be careful before you go in!" Asa Yu turned around and warned them, "Everyone, follow me honestly, behind Conan, do you hear?" ”
"I heard you!" Once again, the children said in unison.
"Really." Asaka smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know if these guys can listen to a few words?" ”
Before entering the door of the house, Asa Yu casually picked up a dozen stones on the ground of the courtyard and put them in his pocket.
"Come to think of it, if he had come here, he would have stepped on everything like that once, right?" Asa Yu muttered softly, "Thinking about it this way, the safety factor seems to be a lot higher?" ”
"What the hell are you using him for?" The corners of Conan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, "It should be a useful thing to have with the stone in your pocket, right?" ”
Gray Yuan pursed his lips and chuckled.
"I've been curious from the beginning," Ayumi couldn't help but ask, "Who is 'he' you've been talking about?" ”
"He." Conan chuckled, "But we're old friends." ”
"A man who travels the world, specializes in finding and stealing large gems, and claims to be a gentleman...... A thief named Kidd the Monster Thief. ”
"Strange thief...... Kyd?! When the children heard the name, they were stunned for a moment, and then they looked even more excited.
"Will he come here too?" Ayumi's eyes lit up, apparently thinking of the picture of the strange thief Kidd who had happened on the balcony of his house, "Or is he here now?" ”
"That's just my guess." Asa Yu smiled, "Didn't that person also write in his notebook just now, 'I will definitely win that nasty thief this time'...... Isn't it Kidd, but it's a pity that he was stabbed by his partner......" Halfway through his words, Asa Yu suddenly got stuck.
He suddenly realized a problem.
A question that I just patronized to discuss the treasure and was ignored by myself.
Thinking of the feeling of peeping faintly coming from this mansion before, it made Asa Yu frown slightly.
The man who died, who was strangled by his own companions and thrown here, doesn't that mean......
Now that murderer is still in this house?!
