Bingbing nodded thoughtfully, and then continued the interview: "Old man, can you tell us the story of the heart of the ocean?"

"I heard that the story behind this diamond is very exciting."

The water friends were all taken aback. They only knew that the Heart of the Ocean was the national treasure of the Eagle Kingdom more than 100 years ago. They never thought there would be a behind-the-scenes story!

"Okay, I'll tell you about that old man."

Hearing that the old man was going to tell a story again, everyone sat down on the small benches, looking forward with great anticipation.

Just listen to Ye Xuan said lightly:

"Both hope and diamonds represent the best material and spiritual things, and because they are rare, everyone thinks they are precious."

"But in fact not all diamonds represent goodness, and some "hope" may bring bad luck. In reality, there are indeed items that combine the two goodnesses. There are well-known diamond names in the jewelry industry. For: Heart of the Ocean."

"As you all know, this diamond is the national treasure of the Eagle Kingdom, but in fact, this diamond was first picked up by an old man in a deserted mine beside the Kibna River."

"But not many years later, an explorer from France stole this gem. Maybe it was destined in the dark, and bad luck spread."

"He sold the stolen gems to Louis XIV, King of the Eagle Country at that time, and got a lot of money and awarded him the title of baron. Because the explorer was rich and developed his son's bad habit of spending money, he soon Their family's money was wasted."

"After Louis XIV obtained this rare gemstone, he ordered the craftsman to polish it into a 69.03-carat chicken heart-shaped gemstone inlaid on the crown, and named it 'Crown Blue Diamond'."

"Then he was devastated by the sudden death of his favorite grandson, who himself contracted smallpox and died after wearing it just once."

"The jewel then fell into the hands of a princess, who adorned her necklace with the jewel, and finally the princess inadvertently rioted in the street and was beaten to death by civilians."

"Louis XV, who succeeded again, gave this rare diamond to his concubine, who was beheaded during the French Revolution."

"In the period of Louis XVI, he gave this gem to his beloved Queen Mary. Queen Mary has always loved jewelry, and she couldn't put it down. She often wore this beautiful diamond. In the end, the king and queen were both pushed on guillotine."

Having said this, Ye Xuan's tone paused slightly.

Everyone finally understood why the old man said that this diamond represented bad luck.

"Damn it, whoever owns this diamond will be beheaded!"

"Scary, is there really such a mysterious thing?"

"The national treasure of Eagle Kingdom is actually a necklace that brings bad luck??"

"This thing can't be touched!"

Friends of the water typed in the live broadcast room one after another, saying that the beautiful vision for this diamond suddenly disappeared.

"Old man, what happened next?"

Sister Zifeng seems very interested in this story.

Asked: "What happened next??"

"Whose hands did this diamond fall into?"

Ye Xuan recalled it for a while, and then said: "Later, this gem was stolen by the thieves, and the thieves re-polished it and reduced its weight to 45.54 carats in order to hide their crimes. Unable to make a move, the robber ended up starving to death on the street."

"Later, the "Heart of the Ocean" was transferred to the new owner. The new owner made it into a 45.52-carat square oval, and was finally bought by the famous banker Henry Philip Hope at a high price of sterling. The name Hope (hope) was named "Hope."

"This Hope is the prototype of Rose's fiancé in the Titanic."

Hearing this, the water friends became excited.

"I know this, I've seen the movie Titanic!"

"This Hope originally wanted to give the heart of the ocean to his fiancée Ruth, but he didn't expect his wife to fall in love with a wandering painter on the Titanic."

"This painter, remember it seems to be played by Xiao Lizi, right?"

"That's right, it's Xiao Lizi, the man who loves to play with water guns!"

"Hahaha, but having said that, Xiao Lizi was really handsome when he was young!"

……

Ye Xuan naturally didn't see the discussions among the water friends at the moment.

He continued: "After Hope passed away in old age, the relatives of the family fought a lawsuit for ten years to fight for his inheritance."

"Afterwards, this gem has been silent for a while, and has been passed down in Hope's family."

"The Heart of the Ocean was exhibited at the World's Fair in 1851 and 1855 respectively."

"The so-called wealth cannot escape this law after all. It was not until 1896 that the Hope family went bankrupt and could only use gems to auction off debts. The diamonds that gave "hope" did not bring eternal prosperity to the family in the end."

"This diamond was purchased by a wealthy Turkish businessman for US$40, but the businessman was involved in a car accident when he was out with his wife and children. He fell off a cliff and his family died tragically."

"Then the diamond was presented to his confidant Zuobid by the then Turkish king, but the confidant was executed secretly by the king shortly afterwards."

"In 1911, an unbelieving American, McClane, bought "Hope" for $11.4 and gave it to his beloved wife as a gift."

"Mrs. McClane is also a lady who loves jewelry. She often wears "Hope" and her other famous diamond "Oriental Star" at the same time to show her status and financial resources."

"In the second year, their son died in a car accident, and soon after that, McClane also died suddenly, and their daughter couldn't stand the blow and suffered from depression and died after taking a lot of sleeping pills."

…………

Ye Xuan slowly finished the story of Heart of the Ocean.

Then,

Ye Xuan flipped his palm, and a dazzling blue necklace appeared in his hand!

It is the heart of the ocean!

It's just that I saw the heart of the ocean again.

The eyes of the water friends no longer had the excitement they had before.

Instead, there is a trace of fear...

I broke out of my grave and was broadcast live by Yearning!

From Queen Victoria

"That's the thing that killed so many people."

Peng Peng said blankly.
