What's the point of money and such?

I want more than just a little bit of money.

"If possible, please take us with you!"

A sound suddenly came from the doorway.

Qian Jiangyi, Xiluofu, Hanchuanlong, and Pusi Qinglan entered at some point.

Their eyes all gleamed with an unusual light.

Conan observed the expressions on the group's faces, lost in thought: "Are these guys all planning to seize the other egg for themselves?"

He glanced at Chi Chufeng and chuckled inwardly.

Trying to snatch food from the mouths of Onmyoji? You really don't know the meaning of death!

Natsumi Kosaka nodded and smiled, agreeing, "Sure, everyone is welcome to the castle."

The butler, Sawabe Kuranosuke, wanted to remind Natsumi, but Natsumi agreed very quickly.

Before Sawabe Kuranosuke could even speak, Natsumi had already said what she wanted to say.

The Kosaka family is considered an aristocratic family to some extent, and keeping one's word is a basic principle of conduct.

Since the master has already given his word, the steward cannot let the master break his promise.

Sawabe Kuranosuke could only swallow his opinion.

Looking at Natsumi Kosaka's innocent smile, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

With a personality like that, and no elders to look after her, she's bound to be deceived sooner or later.

It would be better if the egg of memory hadn't been found.

If we find her, the young lady's life might be in danger.

Sawabe Kuranosuke glanced at Akatsuka Kaze, who stood calmly beside him, and a thought suddenly struck him.

This Onmyoji not only possesses immense power, but is also extremely wealthy and wields immense influence.

Everyone present treated him with utmost respect.

Even the president of the prestigious Suzuki Group treated him with utmost respect.

With someone like that as a support, this young lady could live a carefree life forever…

It seems I need to inquire about this person's situation.

The Queen Elizabeth cruise ship sailed calmly on the sea.

The huge ship was almost deserted, making it seem rather desolate.

There was a small living room in the luxury suite, where some people gathered.

Akatsuka Kaze, Kousaka Natsumi, and Urashi Seiran sat on the sofa enjoying snacks and tea.

Natsumi Kosaka's soft, long hair makes her look like a lively, cute, and gentle girl next door.

Pu Siqinglan has a more angular, medium-short haircut, giving her a strong, career-woman look.

For some reason, she was wearing a red cheongsam with a very short hem, and her long, white legs were so dazzling they hurt the eyes.

"Miss Xia Mei has been living in Paris since she was twenty?" Chi Chufeng asked.

“Yes,” Natsumi Kosaka said with a sweet smile, “I studied making Western-style pastries in Paris.”

Akatsuka stared at Natsumi Kosaka for a while, then said, "Huh? Natsumi's eye color is a little different."

“It’s gray, right? My mother and grandmother were gray too,” Natsumi Kosaka blushed a little under Akaso Kaze’s gaze. “I think it must be inherited from my great-grandmother.”

“Speaking of which, Miss Qinglan’s eyes are also gray. Do people from the Dragon Kingdom have gray eyes?” Chi Chufeng turned his head and looked at Pu Siqinglan again.

Pu Siqinglan glanced at Chi Chufeng unexpectedly.

This Onmyoji is even familiar to people from China.

“I’m also of mixed race, with some Russian ancestry,” she replied casually.

Just then, Masato Nishino, who happened to be walking by, suddenly said, "Actually, before I became Chairman Suzuki's secretary, I traveled to many places, including Russia."

“When I was traveling in Russia, some Russian historians were using reports from the Tsar’s secret agents about Rasputin’s surveillance to whitewash his reputation, calling him a religious saint and even wanting to build monuments and write biographies for him.”

"Because of this incident, a considerable number of protests broke out in Russia..."

"If you ask me, those kinds of villains don't deserve any tombstones or inscriptions."

After Masato Nishino finished speaking, the atmosphere of the tea party, which had been harmonious just moments before, suddenly changed.

The tea party suddenly fell silent, prompting Nishino Masato to scratch his head somewhat embarrassedly and ask, "Did I say something I shouldn't have?"

Chapter 264 The Legendary Experiences of the Evil Monk Rasputin

Kogoro Mouri walked over curiously. "Who is this Rasputin you mentioned?"

"He was Rasputin, the representative of the evil Tsarist regime and the state advisor during the reign of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of the Romanov dynasty."

Kogoro Mouri frowned and asked, "Is Nicholas II the family in the 'Egg of Memories'?"

Masato Nishino nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's the family from the Egg of Memories."

"Rasputin had a very good personal relationship with Nicholas II's family. It is said that he not only had an affair with the Empress, but also with all four of Nicholas II's daughters."

When Masato Nishino dropped this bombshell, it immediately piqued the interest of gossip queen Sonoko Suzuki, who rushed over with wide eyes and asked, "Is this true?"

"Well, the experiences of this Russian sorcerer are quite legendary, and many of his experiences still cannot be explained to this day."

"It is said that he possesses miraculous powers, like those of God."

These unofficial historical anecdotes immediately piqued Sonoko Suzuki's interest, prompting her to ask Masato Nishino to tell them in detail.

"Rasputin was born in 1869. In his youth, Rasputin was a young rogue in the village. He was a horse thief, which is why he was called 'Rasputin' by his fellow villagers. The word itself means dissolute."

"This kind of life lasted until he was in his thirties. According to him, he was enlightened by a holy person and gained abilities that only prophets and gods possess."

"From that time on, Rasputin donned the holy garments in the name of religion, presented himself as a priest, and spread prophecies and miraculous medical skills everywhere. He became famous for successfully predicting a great drought and for healing the dog of Nicholas II's uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas."

"Later, Rasputin used the divination and sorcery he learned from the saints to easily win over a group of nobles, becoming a popular figure in high society, and his fame gradually spread to the palace."

"The Russian royal family at the time, especially Nicholas II's empress, were devout believers in mysticism. Their only son, Alexei, suffered from hemophilia, and the best doctors in the country could not cure him. So they summoned Rasputin to the palace to treat him."

“A miracle happened. Rasputin only gave the Crown Prince a small packet of powder and prayed and told stories by the Crown Prince’s pillow, and Crown Prince Alexei recovered his health.”

At this moment, Sonoko Suzuki, who was also unfamiliar with the topic, asked, "May I ask what hemophilia is? Is it difficult to treat?"

Before Masato Nishino could answer, Conan launched into his educational mode.

"Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder. People with hemophilia have a severe blood clotting disorder. They have a low level of clotting factors in their bodies, so when blood vessels are damaged, they bleed uncontrollably. This disease is still incurable with modern medical technology."

"It is said that Crown Prince Alexei's hemophilia was inherited from the Queen, right?"

Masato Nishino nodded in surprise, "That's right, but how can a little kid like you know so much?"

Conan quickly laughed sheepishly and said, "I just read that on TV."

Nishino Masato didn't seem to care and continued, "Since then, Rasputin has become a regular at the palace, and it's said that he even had an affair with the empress."

When this reached Nicholas II's ears, he immediately ordered Rasputin to be expelled from the palace.

"But strangely, as soon as Rasputin left the palace, Crown Prince Alexei's condition would immediately worsen, and he would only recover after Rasputin was brought back to the palace."

"This divine power completely subdued Nicholas II, who was deeply devoted to his son, and made him give Rasputin some leeway in everything."

"Besides treating hemophilia, Rasputin's prophetic abilities also greatly shocked the royal family."

"He once predicted that the crystal chandelier in the children's room would fall from the ceiling, and sure enough, a few days later the huge chandelier did fall."

"On another occasion, Crown Prince Alexei and Nicholas II went hunting. Suddenly, Alexei developed a high fever and his nose was bleeding profusely. Rasputin, who was thousands of miles away, predicted that the Crown Prince would recover the next day, and this prediction came true."

"In 1916, war broke out, and Nicholas II personally led the army. Power in the country fell into the hands of the Empress, but in reality it was controlled by Rasputin."

"He abused his power to dismiss officials at will and had relationships with a large number of noblewomen. It was also during this period that rumors circulated that he had affairs with four of Nicholas II's daughters."

"Rasputin's behavior gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the nobles, so the prince, the grand duke, and the members of parliament secretly plotted to kill Rasputin."

"They first fed Rasputin eight pieces of cake laced with potassium cyanide, and a bottle of Madeira wine also containing potassium cyanide, but Rasputin showed no reaction whatsoever, acting as if nothing had happened."

Chapter 265 Miss, you're the most dangerous one.

"Then, unable to bear it any longer, the prince fired a shot at Rasputin, hitting him in the lung and knocking him to the ground."

"Just when everyone thought the sorcerer was dead, Rasputin suddenly came back to life, grabbed the prince by the throat, threatened to hang everyone, and then broke free from everyone's restraints and ran to the courtyard."

"In the courtyard, Rasputin was shot three more times, one of which hit his head."

"But do you think that's all?"

Master Nishino paused for a moment, then said, "Everyone realized that Rasputin never bathed because bathing would weaken his magic, so they decided to throw Rasputin's body into the icy river."

"The body was discovered the next day, but the forensic examination concluded that Rasputin had drowned because his lungs were full of water that he had inhaled. Rasputin survived underwater for at least eight minutes before finally dying."

The story of the Russian sorcerer Rasputin was finally over, and Sonoko Suzuki, who had been listening intently, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does this Rasputin really have divine power?" Sonoko Suzuki asked.
