The Emperor was very familiar with the elephant statue. It was the one that he had hired people to specially craft when he was obsessed with the grandeur of powerful elephants. The stone used for the statue was the hardest diamond and it was only completed after craftsmen toiled hard for over a thousand days and nights.
The elephant statue was 3.6 meters tall. Just the amount of diamonds used was already ten thousand over tonnes. The veins all over the elephant statue were highly detailed, making it look real from afar. On the head of the elephant, there were another 10 sparkling diamonds incorporated.
This was the masterpiece that the Emperor was most pleased with and had specially displayed it in front of his palace to admire every day.
But even over his dead body, the Emperor had not expected that the elephant statue that he had taken pride in for so many years would actually come to life!
