Chapter 743: Chapter 375: Crown of Silence (6-in-1)_5
When Su Ming saw the crown, he instantly froze on the spot, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the crown.
In that moment, the surroundings dimmed, and in his daze, Su Ming saw a servant kneeling before him, holding a tray with the sacred crown displayed on it.
At that time, Shadler introduced it to Su Ming and Su Yuan.
“This is the crown of the last Emperor before the Federation was established—the Crown of Silence. This Emperor was a notorious tyrant!”
Su Ming’s expression subtly changed upon hearing Shadler’s words.
Su Yuan also asked with interest.
“A tyrant?”
“Exactly, this Emperor issued many extreme policies in pursuit of unification, striving for optimal rule. But he overlooked the critical issue that the situation at the grassroots level was uneven and couldn’t keep up with his policies! So, the mid-tier ruling class exploited the lower levels madly to achieve their goals, causing widespread misery and grievance among the people!”
“I see!”
“Do you know what his biggest promise was?”
Shadler said with a chuckle.
“What?”
Su Yuan asked very curiously.
“His biggest promise upon achieving unification was to give all the people a happy and peaceful life. Ironically, on the night he achieved unification, countless rebellions erupted worldwide, and his grand unification collapsed overnight.”
“What happened to him then?”
“Unknown, he vanished the night of the collapse, probably dead.”
Shadler thought for a moment and replied.
“Good riddance, a tyrant like that deserves to die.”
Su Yuan said after listening.
At this moment, Su Ming heard Su Yuan’s words and coldly turned to look at him.
Su Yuan was startled, feeling uneasy under Su Ming’s gaze, a chill running down his spine, he swallowed nervously and asked.
“Su Ming, why are you looking at me? Did I say something wrong?”
“No, what you said is fine, indeed he deserved to die.”
Su Ming replied coldly after a silent pause.
“I’ll take you to see the others.”
Shadler then walked forward.
Su Yuan followed quickly, while Su Ming remained in place, looking at the Crown of Silence before him, his eyes revealing a complicated expression.
At this time, Shadler and Su Yuan noticed Su Ming hadn’t caught up, and they stopped to look back.
“Su Ming, what are you standing there for?”
Su Yuan called out to Su Ming.
Su Ming walked over, speaking in a deep voice to Shadler.
“Shadler, can you give me that Crown of Silence?”
“Ah? That might not be possible, these exhibits belong to my grandfather, and that Crown of Silence is his favorite.”
Shadler said apologetically.
“Well, why do you want that old crown anyway, what use does it have?”
Su Yuan looked at Su Ming with great confusion.
“It’s nothing, just asking casually.”
Su Ming simply explained and didn’t insist further.
At this point, Su Yuan suddenly thought of something and said to Shadler.
“Shadler, didn’t you say last time if I got you the blood of a Star Spirit, you’d give me the Green Fluorescent Ring?”
“Uh, that might be a bit…”
Shadler showed some difficulty on his face.
“You’re not being fair, you swore it wouldn’t be a problem back then, and now you’re being evasive—so unbrotherly of you.”
Su Yuan complained to Shadler.
“Alright, you two wait here for a moment.”
Shadler’s cheeks reddened, and he decided to go for it.
“Now that’s brotherly!”
Su Yuan exclaimed joyously.
Shadler then turned and left the exhibition room.
At this time, Su Ming looked at Su Yuan and asked with puzzlement.
“Su Yuan, why do you want that Green Fluorescent Ring, I remember it’s like a gem bracelet.”
“Of course, to give to the goddess in my heart.”
Su Yuan said with a grin.
“Goddess? Someone you like?”
“Yes!”
“Who?”
“Of course, it’s the super diva Hilis!”
“Haha, if it were other celebrities, given the Su family’s stature, and your current status, they’d all flock to you. But as for Hilis, dream on, you don’t stand a chance.”
Su Ming unceremoniously splashed cold water on Su Yuan.
Su Yuan’s smile froze, and he said somewhat resentfully.
“Brother, you don’t have any faith in me?”
“Be realistic.”
Su Ming said earnestly, patting Su Yuan’s shoulder.
“No, I won’t give up, no matter how slim the hope.”
Su Yuan took a deep breath and stated determinedly.
“Alright, I won’t advise you further.”
Su Ming said nothing more.
At this time, Shadler hurriedly came over, handing Su Yuan a delicate box.
“Here you go!”
Su Yuan took it and opened it, revealing a sparkling green bracelet adorned with translucent green jewels.
He smiled broadly and said contentedly.
“Haha, this is it! As long as I give this to her, she’ll definitely be very happy.”
Su Ming just shook his head helplessly.
Then Shadler also took out a box and handed it to Su Ming.
“Su Ming, this is for you.”
“I have one too?”
Su Ming looked at Shadler with some surprise.
“Of course, we’re friends.”
Shadler said grandly, patting his chest.
Listening to Shadler’s words, Su Ming couldn’t help but have a slight change of opinion about him—despite his weak nature, he seemed rather loyal.
“Alright.”
Su Ming reached out and took it, opened the box, and glanced at it.
Inside was an exceedingly luxurious, noble, and elegant necklace, set with a teardrop-shaped blue sparkling Star Stone, surrounded by a gradient of colored gems.
