"Azure Gemstone is no longer in the kingdom."
In the corridor of the king's castle, the one-eyed Barry suddenly spoke. Under Karasumaying's confused gaze, he continued:
"The gem was indeed stolen, but the person who stole it was not a thief outside, but Princess Freya."
"Huh?" Karasumaying was extremely surprised by this result, and she was completely confused.
Freya was the one who stole the blue gem?
But why did the princess of the kingdom steal her own secret treasure?
"I don't know the details." Faced with Karasuma Ying's doubtful gaze, Barry continued: "But I speculate that Princess Freya may also be used by others, and stealing the gems should not be her original intention..."
"Are you being ordered by someone?"
Karasuma Ying thought of the two Onymar in Japan. She had confirmed the identity of one of them, Princess Freya of the Kingdom of Andrew, while the identity of the other was still unknown to them.
But according to Conan, when El was making medicine, both of them tried to compete for the blue sapphire.
According to what Barry said, could the other unknown Onymar be the one who instigated Freya to steal the blue sapphire?
After realizing that she had made a big mistake, the princess chased him all the way to Japan?
"That gem is not an ordinary gem." Barry went on to explain: "The gem was the royal family that returned ten years ago. It was a very sensitive time. I think you should be able to guess this."
"Ten years ago?"
Hearing about a very special time for this country again, under Barry's suggestion, Karasumaying only thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Barry in disbelief.
"Is that blue sapphire also an ore mined from that border village?!"
Karasuma Ying has not forgotten the story that the old man told her. In the border village ten years ago, after the researchers of El Pharmaceutical detonated the special ore for the first time, the power of the explosion directly destroyed half of the The village was wiped out.
She didn't know how much ore the researchers at that time used for the experiment, but she could only surmise from normal logic that the first sample experiment usually only used a small amount of samples.
But even this small amount of samples completely exceeded the predictions of the researchers at the time, and directly destroyed the entire institute.
The one in Japan today is as big as an adult male's fist.
No wonder, when the previous guard Hans introduced this royal secret treasure to them, he said that the blue sapphire had never been publicly displayed to the people since it was recovered by the king ten years ago.
That's because this gem is a high-power bomb that can be detonated. The real secret treasure of Andrew's royal family has never been recovered at all.
King Heningu just found the most similar one from those ores as a substitute, in order to gather the faith of the people.
"I don't know." Facing Karasumaying's question, Barry shook his head and replied.
"well?"
It seemed that he felt that this answer was really not good, so Barry was silent for a while and then added something.
"I swore to the king that I would not reveal anything about what happened ten years ago to outsiders."
[Are you still such a rigid person? 】
Karasumaying wanted to complain about Barry's answer.
By the way, you act like you want me to help you, but you speak so hesitantly. Is this really okay?
"In short, I have told you everything I can say. As for how to deal with these things, you can make your own decision. I will not interfere."
Barry seemed to want to end the conversation between the two. He straightened his collar, ignored Karasuma Ying, turned and walked directly towards the door of Preburn's room.
Of course, his matter was over, but Karasumaying's was not.
There was one thing she originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask Barry.
"Sir Barry."
Behind him, Karasuma Ying suddenly called out to him.
"You... why didn't you ask me why I sneaked into the dungeon yesterday?"
Barry suddenly stopped.
"Because you already knew it from the beginning, right?"
Looking at him, Karasumaying asked the question she wanted to ask the most.
"Who...have you been in contact with?"
The suffocating silence spread instantly. Barry stood there and was silent for a long time before he spoke back.
"No one, I'm just an ordinary person who wants to save his loved ones, that's all."
After saying this, he quickly left and ignored Karasuma Ying.
At the same time, Mary also walked out of Preburn's room. She glanced around the corridor, then raised her legs and walked towards Karasumaying.
"Xiaoying, what do you think His Highness Preburn said to me?"
"What?"
"His Highness told me that the royal commission to retrieve the secret treasure is still valid, and the reward for the commission will be twice as high as what Commander Biluen originally set. And if we retrieve the secret treasure, His Highness Preburn will personally help us immediately. Medal of Heroes Awarded to the Kingdom...
Speaking of which, Xiaoying, you are still in high school, right? "
"Well, what's wrong?" Karasuma Ying asked.
"Isn't that just right? If we can find the secret treasure and let you get this hero medal, it will be of great help to you in your future college entrance examination.
Don’t think it’s inconspicuous. Many times, those famous schools just care about this..."
"This, this is it..."
Seeing Mary who was suddenly concerned about her future university, Karasumaying could only smile and accepted her kindness with a hint of helplessness.
[Why are you suddenly concerned about my college entrance examination...]
At the beginning, Mary actually didn't care about this so-called royal commission, because it meant nothing to her and had nothing to do with her mission.
But when Preburn proposed that he would be awarded the Medal of Heroes, things changed.
What she cares about is not the medal itself, but this official honor. Although the Andrew Kingdom is small, it is also a real country.
Xiaoying is still in high school. If she can get this kind of honor, it will definitely be helpful for her to enter college in the future.
As far as Mary was concerned, there was no conflict between helping the child obtain this honor and using the child to lure out the man.
Taking advantage is real, but caring is also real.
Not to mention that the use Mary said was actually just to tie Karasuma Ying to her side. From the beginning, she had no intention of doing evil to this child.
Because as long as she keeps this child with her, she will definitely lead to that person, if he is really in this country...
No matter what happened between her and that person, Mary would not involve the affairs of the previous generation with the next generation.
What's more, she had seen Karasumaying when she was a child, but it was so long ago and she had been covering her face with sunglasses for the past two days that the child's memory was blurred and she couldn't remember.
Therefore, as an elder, Mary is really concerned about this child's future college entrance exams...
