Moscow, Kremlin, May 5.

"Is this a birthday present from Prince Ivanovich?"

Katerina opened the box, and there was a huge sapphire lying in the soft red silk. Under the sunlight, the sapphire shone brightly, and there were hidden golden star-like light spots in it, which were dazzling.

Katerina, who has been in contact with many rare treasures since she was a child, can tell at a glance that these are by no means cheap glass products, but naturally formed gemstones, whose value is immeasurable.

"Yes, Your Highness."

On the other side of the desk, the butler, who was wearing a gray burlap coat and dressed like an ordinary worker, said respectfully: "Last year, due to some accidents, this gift could not be delivered to your highness, the master asked me to express my apology on his behalf. "

"Besides the gift, what else does Duke Ivanovic want you to tell me?" Katerina closed the box and asked calmly.

"Nothing."

"Are you sure?"

"determine."

Staring into the butler's eyes, Katerina was silent for a moment, then picked up the copper bell placed on the corner of the table and rang it.

Ding Ding Ding.
The maid Marusa walked into the room, and Katerina said, "Take Butler Fedorov to the guest room to rest."

The butler quickly asked, "Your Highness, do you agree to accept this gift?"

"I will answer you later on this matter."

".Yes."

Fedorov followed Marusa and left the study. After he left, Katerina put on a black cloak, hurried out of the palace, and came alone to the St. Basil's Cathedral next door.

"With regard to the truth, we must adhere to the basic principle of taking the needs of the people as the basis. We will do what the people need. We must not stay away from the people, let alone commit violence or illegally detain innocent people."

In the mission hall, Katerina, who was wearing a black cloak, stood by the door frame, quietly watching Ma Wei who was explaining the truth to the monks on the stage, without making a sound.

While she was observing Ma Wei, Ma Wei also discovered this 'uninvited guest'.

"Okay, everyone is free to discuss how to practice the truth now. If you want to ask anything, you can ask me later."

After instructing the monks to study on their own, Ma Wei stepped down from the podium, came to the foyer, and whispered, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

"Find a quiet place to talk."

"Ah."

When the two came to the empty living room, Katerina took off her hood, combed her messy hair with her fingers, and took out the box that Prince Ivanovich sent: "Father, take a look. "

Ma Wei opened the box and saw a sapphire the size of half a palm inside, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

He had served on privateers for so many years, and had robbed and seen countless treasures, but the size and weight of Adam's Star still surprised him.

Even the huge 317-carat diamond inlaid on the crown of Rhodes IV, King of the Kingdom of Windsor, is no match for the Star of Adam in front of him. No, it should be said that the Star of Adam is bigger than the one on the crown of Rhodes IV. Diamonds are five times bigger!
"Prince Ivanovich gave it to me." Katerina explained, "He said it was a birthday present."

"Birthday gift?" Ma Wei raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness, is your birthday coming?"

"No, my birthday is November 11th. The so-called birthday gift is just an excuse."

The sudden gift is so precious.
Ma Wei suddenly thought of Archbishop Henry's plan to abolish serfdom: "It seems that Duke Ivanovic is in trouble. This is a symbol of his favor to Your Highness."

"I'm not sure if I should take it."

Katerina was a little uncertain, which was why she came to St. Basil's Cathedral on a special trip.

There are some things that she cannot decide on her own, and Mavi must be consulted.

"What do you think, Father?"

Ma Wei hesitated and said: "Accepting it is tantamount to accepting the favor of Duke Ivanovich. Once there is civil strife in Petersburg in the future, and Archbishop Henry starts to eliminate the aristocratic faction, Duke Ivanovic will take the noble faction with him." It is actually a good thing for us to go to Your Highness, but it is not necessarily so for Your Highness."

"I do not care."

Katerina said: "These corrupt nobles are the biggest stumbling block on the road to revitalizing the Romanov Kingdom. Only by completely getting rid of them can I realize my wish to revive the Romanov Kingdom. For this reason, I am not afraid of being infamous for bloody brutality." .”

"What I mean is, if Duke Ivanovich and the others come to join you, but end up decapitated in the end, then all the officials and generals who follow you will be in danger. This will happen in the future. unfavorable."

"The Kingdom of Romanov is different from the Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of Popon. The Kingdom of Romanov has been suffering for a long time, and only strong medicine can cure it. It is precisely after seeing this that Archbishop Henry plans to attack the nobles." Katerin said. Na said: "Otherwise, relying on the teachings of the Church of Truth, it will inevitably attract a large number of people to follow. They are like a pile of dry grass that has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years. Just a little spark will ignite a raging fire."

"Since that's the case, then accept it. If the noble faction also chooses to help us, then it's only a matter of time before you ascend to the throne, Your Highness."

"I don't think it will be that simple"

Katerina shook her head, took out the gem and aimed it at the sun, looked at the bright golden light spot inside and said, "Father, I heard that you are looking for extraordinary items with magical power recently?"

"Well, there have been no clues."

Since the last time God of Truth Baji said about the relics of the gods, Ma Wei began to pay attention to some strange things. I searched for some treasures inside, but found nothing.

"This sapphire is very rare. Father, don't you want to check it? Maybe it's what you're looking for."

Yup!

It was only then that Mavi realized that he should check out the 'Adam Star'. He had been talking about Duke Ivanovic just now, causing him to forget about it.
Calling Junia, Mavi handed her the 'Adam Star'. For the perception of supernatural objects, God has always been the most sensitive. Whether it is true or not, you can tell by just trying it.

The 'Adam's Star' was bigger than Junia's small hand. In order not to let it fall to the ground, Junia could only hold it with both hands, and while inputting power into the gem, she carefully watched the situation inside the gem.

Some supernatural items require extremely harsh conditions to use, such as the 'Eye of the Golden Crow' that Levin has always carried with him. The ruby ​​that hides the eyes of the gods can never be activated except for bringing luck to Levin.

The majestic power poured into the 'Adam Star'. At first, the gem did not respond, but under Junia's continuous output, the golden light spot inside the sapphire suddenly seemed to have life, emitting a dazzling light. of light.

The golden light spots wandered inside the gemstone, collided with each other and bounced off, like a group of restless elves, struggling to break free from the shackles of the gemstone.
No magic circle appeared, and no strange phenomena occurred. The power input by Junia seemed to become the source of activity for the golden light spots.

The spot of light is too small and very dazzling, even if you put your eyes on it, you can't see what it is, but what is certain is that
The sapphire 'Star of Adam', is indeed some kind of transcendent item.

"Father, these little stars seem to want to escape." Junia observed for a while and said, "I suspect that the 'Adam Star' is actually some kind of extraordinary item for sealing purposes, and someone locked these little stars inside."

seal?

It is indeed a good way to seal a certain existence with expensive gemstones. The reason is the same as what Mavi said before. Human beings disdain stones on the ground, but rare treasures can arouse their crazy love. .

Who would be stupid enough to smash a palm-sized sapphire?

Who can't get along with money?

The existence of sealing the little golden star in the 'Adam's Star' must have insight into the desires and weaknesses of human beings.

With Junia no longer inputting power, the golden stars wandering in it also stopped moving, and returned to their previous silent appearance.

"Your Highness."

Mavi looked at Katerina, and Katerina understood what he wanted to say: "Let's put the 'Adam Star' with you, the priest, for me, it is just a stone, if it can be used for Romanov If the kingdom comes in handy, that would be great."

"When I study the effect of this gem, I will definitely return the original." Mavi said immediately.

"If this is really some kind of seal, I think it will break someday."

Katerina smiled and shook her head: "Father, the help you have provided me far exceeds the value of this sapphire, and I have seen too many rare treasures. Although this gem is precious, it is of no use to me." Too much attraction."

"Father, if you don't mind, I want to exchange this gem for someone else."

Ma Wei frowned: "Who?"

"Dino Bruto."
