Cursed Sapphire-Star of the Ocean
"Catch him!"
"Don't let him escape."
"How dare you steal our things?"
"You're really tired of living."
“……”
A burst of shouting interrupted Lawton's shouting. At the same time, there was a commotion in the crowd. Immediately, a little ghost (Lawton wasn't that big, he didn't seem to have the right to call others a little ghost) rushed through the crowd and arrived in front of Lawton's stall.
"Little brother…oh, no, it should be miss. May I know what you need? I have a complete range of goods here, reliable quality, and good quality at a low price…"
The person who had come looked to be in her teens. She had short blond hair, and her entire body was dirty. There were even traces of blood on her shoulders. Lawton almost thought that she was a boy, but in fact, she was a girl. Although she was not old, one could still tell from her facial features that she was definitely a beauty. As long as she did not grow crooked in the future, she would definitely be a devastatingly beautiful woman.
However, Lawton did not care if the person was male or female, clean or sloppy. There were only two kinds of people in front of him. One was the customer, and the other was the bystanders. As long as he had money, he would treat even a real beggar like a god, let alone a little sloppy.
"Save me!"
" I know you're an expert," the little girl said anxiously to Lawton." Please save me. I'm willing to give you my most precious treasure."”
As she spoke, the little girl stretched out her hand and revealed a necklace that she was holding tightly. The moment she opened her hand, everyone's eyes were attracted by the blue color. The sapphire that was the size of a pigeon's egg was as blue as the sea. Even if it was surrounded by garbage, it could not hide its brilliance. Instead, it served as a foil to its destruction.
With such a dazzling light, even the inexperienced scavengers could tell that this was definitely a peerless treasure. For a moment, everyone forgot how terrifying Lawton was and revealed greedy gazes.
"Hmm?"
Noticing the gazes of the onlookers, Lawton narrowed his eyes and immediately released his killing intent. Instantly, the people who were blinded by greed felt a chill in their hearts. After a moment of quickness, they quickly woke up. When they noticed Lawton's gaze, they were filled with fear and did not dare to look at the necklace again.
After intimidating everyone, Lawton then returned his gaze to the necklace.
"Star of the Sea?"
When he saw the necklace, Lawton immediately called out its name.
Of course, this was not because Lawton had good taste. As a transmigrator who had just transmigrated not long ago, his understanding of this world was only the main storyline. He had no impression of things like jewelry and antiques.
That was why he was able to call out the necklace's name. This was naturally thanks to the system. In order to prevent Lawton from being blind and missing out on the treasure, the system had specially provided an identification function that allowed him to see the information of all treasures.
It was said that the Star of the Ocean was a powerful king of a country in the North Sea three hundred years ago. In order to please his queen, he searched the world and found a sapphire that was said to be the purest. After three years of careful carving by a famous craftsman, it was made into this necklace.
Unfortunately, not long after the queen got the necklace, a Heavenly Dragon person came to this country and accidentally learned about the necklace.
What happened later was obvious. The Heavenly Dragon people wanted the necklace, but the king would not give it to them. Therefore, the furious Heavenly Dragon people directly ordered the masters of CP0 to secretly destroy the country...
However, the Heavenly Dragon Tribe did not obtain the Star of the Sea. The necklace disappeared with the destruction of that country.
This necklace appeared again thirty years later. Its second owner was a big businessman, but after he showed off the Star of the Sea at a cocktail party, he was shipwrecked on a ship. Even the man and the ship were fed to the sea kings.
Twenty years later, a fisherman fished out a treasure chest containing the Star of the Sea from the sea and presented it to a local noble. However, the noble's fate was not much better. Later, he was involved in a rebellion, his family was killed, and the Star of the Sea disappeared again.
Fifty years later, the Star of the Sea appeared again. This time, its owner was a pirate. However, not long after the pirate obtained the Star of the Sea, he was killed by the navy. No one on the ship survived. The Star of the Sea also became a trophy of the navy and eventually fell into the hands of a certain Heavenly Dragon.
Then, this Heavenly Dragon person shot at random while out at sea and accidentally disturbed a super Sea King that was more than 10,000 meters long. Naturally, it did not end well. A Sea King that was more than 10,000 meters long was as destructive as a navy general. At that time, the strongest guard on the Heavenly Dragon person's ship was only a lieutenant general. Of course, they did not end well...
……
In short, in the past 300 years, this string of Ocean Stars had experienced a total of nine owners. However, none of these nine owners had a good ending. They were either met with disasters, killed by people, or died in the hands of pirates. None of them had a good ending. It could be seen how powerful the curse power of this thing was.
After narrating the story of the Star of the Sea, Lawton concluded,""As far as I know, the last time this necklace appeared was five years ago. King Nolun IV of the Nolun Kingdom of the East Sea won the Star of the Sea at an auction, saying that he was going to give it to his daughter as a birthday present for her seventh birthday. However, in less than a year, the Nolun Kingdom was invaded by pirates, and the king's entire family was killed…That's when you got the Star of the Sea, right? You're really lucky. It's been five years since you got this necklace, but you haven't been killed by it yet…Of course, your current situation shouldn't be very good, right?”
"So it's like this, it's actually like this. Royal Father, Royal Mother, Big Brother, your deaths are really not worth it.”Hearing Lawton's story about the Star of the Sea, the girl did not know whether to cry or laugh.
After suffering, she had complained countless times that the heavens were unfair. Since she was destined to suffer, why didn't they give birth to her in a poor family? Instead, they gave her a happy family and destroyed it with their own hands. How cruel was that?
However, after hearing Lawton's introduction, she finally understood that it was not because the heavens were unfair, but because of a strange necklace…If it were not for Lawton, she might have died today.
