A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 748 'Wishing Stone'

"Welcome to Washington!"

The brown-haired man in a suit and leather shoes greeted him with a smile on his face, and warmly extended his hand to Lin Yi: "Mr. Prince, I welcome you on behalf of the State Museum—do you want me to assign staff to act as your guide?"

"no need."

Lin Yi shook his head, and looked at Diana beside him with a smile: "To be honest, my daughter worked in this museum before, and I would like to have her as a guide."

"……daughter?!"

The manager looked at Diana in a little astonishment, and then teased with a smile all over his face: "I really didn't expect... Diana, you have deceived us so badly!"

"Sorry, Andre, I didn't mean it either. After all, you never asked about my family situation, did you?"

Diana smiled, then turned to look at Steve beside her as if remembering something: "Oh, by the way, this is my husband, Steve Trevor."

"Nice to meet you."

Steve smiled and held out his hand.

Andre quickly held his hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile on his face: "I have known you for a long time! I have long wanted to meet the man who is said to have abducted the flower of our museum. I saw him today, and he really deserves his reputation!"

Steve smiled politely.

Andre was very discerning, immediately let go of his hand, looked at Lin Yi and said with a smile: "In this case, we will not bother you three, if there is anything, just come to my office to find me, Diana knows Where is my office?"

"no problem."

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, watching Andre and the museum staff behind him leave.

Diana walked up to Lin Yi, looked at the curly-haired woman who looked back at the three of them from time to time, and said in a low voice, "Teacher, she is the friend I mentioned, Barbara Minerva, can you It can be seen, has she made a wish to the wishing stone?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly, and a faint silver light flashed in his eyes.

Three seconds later, Lin Yi looked away, and shook his head at Diana's worried gaze.

Diana finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the citrine was really based on lies to weave dreams, she would never want any of her friends to have anything to do with it, especially the kind and shy Barbara.

She is a good girl who is not good at speech and social. When she comes home from get off work at night, she often brings a dinner to the homeless on the side of the road. She also takes time to take care of the stray cats in the community.

If such a kind girl makes a wish to Citrine because of her extravagant translation, it is entirely her own responsibility...

Seeing Diana's expression, Lin Yi smiled and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.

"Friendship has no boundaries. Even if you change jobs, I believe you can continue to be friends."

"Teacher, that's not what I'm worried about!"

Diana rolled her eyes and said helplessly.

Lin Yi patted her on the shoulder with a smile and did not continue the topic.

Of course he knew what Diana was worried about, but this worry was obviously unnecessary, because if Barbara had already made her wish, she would probably have become the famous DC villain Leopard by now...

"Let's go, take me to see that citrine."

"Ah."

Diana nodded, exchanged glances with Steve, and turned to walk up the stairs of the museum.

……

Three minutes later, the ancient cultural relics restoration area was empty.

Diana opened the locked drawer, took out a wooden box the size of a mobile phone case, and took out the citrine with a metal ring at the bottom.

Lin Yi frowned and held the citrine in his hand, closed his eyes and felt the power of the rules.

After a long time, Lin Yi opened his eyes, and golden and silver lights shone on his slender and powerful palms.

"Crack..."

There was a slight sound, and Lin Yi let go of his palm, and the irregular crystal, which was yellow on top and black on the bottom, fell on the table.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Diana quickly caught the crystal with a wooden box full of buffers, and then looked at Lin Yi suspiciously.

I saw Lin Yi staring at the metal ring in his palm thoughtfully, but shook his head after a while, and threw the metal ring engraved with ancient Latin characters on the outer ring to Diana.

Diana took it carefully, glanced at the inner circle of the metal ring, and was slightly taken aback.

I saw a line of complex and mysterious strange characters engraved there, which was blooming with a faint light at the moment.

Steve leaned over and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Diana's face was complicated: "This is the language of the gods... The teacher guessed right, this 'Wishing Stone' is indeed something that belongs to the God of Lies!"

"Yeah, and it's still very interesting...although it's a little dangerous!"

Lin Yi picked up the topaz and tossed it up and down, and said with a smile: "So, for safety reasons, let me keep this thing first!"

"Of course."

Diana nodded, she had thought so.

Steve held the metal ring and looked at it carefully for a while, but couldn't see any tricks, so he could only put it back into the wooden box in disappointment, but unexpectedly, Lin Yi stretched out his hand to block him.

Facing Steve's suspicious eyes, Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Only citrine is the main body of the wishing stone. This thing can only be regarded as a nameplate and instruction manual... you should keep it."

"It's useless for us to keep it?"

"Who said it's useless!" Lin Yi said with a smile, "Listen to me, after today, go to the antique street or gem shop to find a citrine of similar material, carve it into the shape of a wishing stone and store it in the museum. In the future, If anyone wants to find this wishing stone, they will definitely regard the museum as their first goal."

"..."

Diana immediately looked surprised, and nodded in agreement.

"Teacher, you are right. There is absolutely no way that there is no legend about such a powerful and evil thing. I think that one day in the future, someone will follow the legend of the wishing stone and find it here..."

"Then he will find out that the legend about the wishing stone is false! Teacher, you really deserve it!" Steve added reverently.

"Stop doing this!"

Lin Yi rolled his eyes, glanced at Steve angrily and said, "Don't think that if you flatter me now, what you said at the museum gate before will be wiped out, just wait, I will settle the score with you! "

Steve smiled embarrassingly: "Teacher, you really wronged me, my words come from the bottom of my heart!"

Just as Steve flattered Lin Yi, Diana suddenly frowned.

"Wait, I suddenly remembered something - before this topaz was sent to the museum, it was robbed in the Washington Jewelry Mall!"

"The robbery?" Steve was slightly taken aback, "Is it the robbery you settled a month ago?"

"Yes!" Diana nodded, looked at Lin Yi and said seriously, "Teacher, I didn't think much about it before, but now after hearing what you said, I suddenly had a premonition that someone really has been eyeing this star." The wishing stone's gone!"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence?" Steve frowned.

"I don't think so." Diana shook her head and said, "In retrospect, the robbers' equipment was a bit too professional, so professional that they didn't look like robbers at all, but rather like a group of mercenaries who licked their blood. "

"Not only that, the value of that batch of jewels is actually not high. If it is just to rob jewels, there is no need to hire a desperado at a high price. Therefore, I think the jewels are actually just a smoke bomb on the surface. The target of the robbery is this 'Wishing Stone' that can grant wishes!"

"...What you said makes sense."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement, then patted Diana and Steve on the shoulders and said, "So, I'll leave it to you two to investigate the people behind the scenes!"

"Leave it to us?" Diana and Steve were slightly taken aback, "What about you?"

"I'll handle the more troublesome characters..."

Lin Yi said something lightly, then turned to look at the entrance of the ancient cultural relics restoration area.

Diana and Steve frowned and followed Lin Yi's gaze.

I saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, with black hair and black eyes, standing there with a smile on his face. His face was handsome and impeccable, and there were stars twinkling in his dark eyes, as bright as the night sky.

"... Lucifer?!"

Both Diana and Steve were startled, and immediately stared at Lucifer warily.

Lucifer threw away a piece of ancient jade that had just come along in his hand, then put it on the cabinet next to him, turned his head to look at Lin Yi with a calm expression and smiled slightly.

"Long time no see, old friend~"
