"I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. The only things we haven't looked through are the things in the storage rings." After a thorough search, Saber9 looked at the last two storage rings.
"Just because we didn't find anything doesn't mean that there's nothing out of the ordinary." Virtuoso's gaze fell on the two storage rings as well. "After all, we don't know what the fragment of the castellan's seal looks like in Phantom City."
"Is there a way to open these two rings?" Lin Huang went straight to the point.
Virtuoso reached out and picked up the two rings. "These two storage rings belong to the old model of secret key rings. You can only open them by adjusting your Divine Telekinesis to a specific frequency band. This is the only way to open them. If you don't know the secret key, it's useless even if you have the rings.
"However … I happen to know the secret key to these two rings …" As Virtuoso spoke, they had already adjusted their Divine Telekinesis to a specific frequency band. They searched the two storage rings one after another.
There was no need for Virtuoso to say anything else. Lin Huang and Saber9 knew that their secret key must have been used to read the memory of someone close to the four-faced individual. This person's memory happened to contain information about these two secret keys.
Virtuoso searched the two storage rings for a long time. After a long while, they finally retrieved something.
"I used Divine Telekinesis to scan all the items in these two storage rings three times, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary …" Virtuoso suddenly turned to look at Lin Huang as soon as they finished speaking. "However, I found this."
They opened their palm. It was an ancient silver coin.
Lin Huang could not help raising his brows when he saw the ancient coin. Before he could speak, Virtuoso spoke first.
"Does this ancient coin look like the one you bought at the market a few days ago?"
"It doesn't look like it at all." Lin Huang shook his head. "Yours looks like a silver coin, but the one I bought looks more like a copper coin. Not only are they different in color, but they're also completely different in size, thickness, and carvings. This silver coin of yours is more than one size smaller than my copper coin. "
"Why? Do you suspect that this silver coin might be a fragment of the castellan's seal?" Lin Huang asked, raising his brows.
"Whether it's a fragment of the castellan's seal or not, we'll know once you take out that ancient coin of yours." Virtuoso, who had always been calm, sounded a little desperate at the moment.
The castellan's seal fragments could sense each other. If the ancient coin in Virtuoso's hand could sense the one Lin Huang had bought, it could basically be confirmed that these two ancient coins were both fragments of the castellan's seal.
Lin Huang felt that Virtuoso was indulging in fantasy. The ancient coin he had bought at the market was completely a commemorative coin. However, for some unknown reason, Virtuoso had connected the two completely different ancient coins together. They felt that there was a connection between them and even thought that both ancient coins were fragments of the castellan's seal.
However, Lin Huang could not be bothered to continue arguing about this with Virtuoso. He took out the ancient coins he had bought at the market for two Divine Stones from his storage space right away.
As far as he was concerned, as long as there was no reaction from the ancient coins he took out, it would be enough to prove that Virtuoso's baseless speculation was wrong. There was no need for him to waste any more words.
However, he did not expect that as soon as he took out the 'copper coin', the 'silver coin' in Virtuoso's palm would start vibrating intensely. At the same time, Lin Huang could clearly feel the 'copper coin' between his fingers vibrating intensely as well.
It felt like a dog waiting for its master to come home from work. It wagged its tail wildly and was unusually excited.
Before Lin Huang could ask anything, Virtuoso had already withdrawn their palm from under the ancient coin. Seeing this, Lin Huang hurriedly let go, allowing the ancient coin to float in mid-air on its own.
The two ancient coins were completely different in color, size, thickness, and even patterns. However, the scene before them was enough to prove that the two were attracted to each other.
After Lin Huang and Virtuoso let go, the two ancient coins very quickly turned into two sharp beams of light, one gold and one silver. They intertwined in mid-air in a vortex, spinning rapidly like two twin stars wandering in the galaxy.
As the vortex spun, the distance between the two grew closer and closer, and the light they emitted became more and more blinding.
Very soon, the two dazzling beams of light reached their peak. The gold and silver colors were almost indistinguishable from each other. Even Lin Huang and the other two could not see through the light to see what was happening inside.
Virtuoso had been prepared for this, shielding the area. Otherwise, the beams of light would have illuminated the entire sky and attracted unnecessary trouble.
After a while, the blinding light gradually dissipated. The original two coins had disappeared, and in their place was a gold coin that looked a little old.
"These two ancient coins are really fragments of the castellan's seal?!" Lin Huang's face was full of shock. He had not expected that the item he had casually bought in the market would actually be a fragment of the castellan's seal.
"We're pretty lucky." Virtuoso smiled.
"How did you know?" Lin Huang was still rather puzzled.
"A fragment of the castellan's seal could be anything. However, there must be a connection between different fragments, "Virtuoso explained with a smile. Virtuoso explained with a smile, "Let me give you an example. If one fragment is a key, then the other fragment might be a key with a different shape. It might also be a lock, or it might be a door."
"When I saw this silver coin, I scanned it with my Divine Telekinesis and found nothing unusual. This is actually quite rare in the inner world. That's why I immediately thought of the copper coin you bought in the market. Similarly, there were no energy fluctuations at all. It's as if the two coins from the Surface World had wandered into this world.
"Of course, we can't completely rule out the possibility that someone brought ordinary coins from the Surface World into this world. That's why I can't be completely sure that these two ancient coins are fragments of the castellan's seal. I can only confirm it further by sensing the fragments … "
"You all know what happened after that." Virtuoso admitted that they were more likely to have guessed the truth.
Lin Huang did not have much to say about Virtuoso's illogical deduction. He could only say that the three of them were lucky to have stumbled upon a dead mouse by sheer luck.
"Give me a moment. I'll return everything," Virtuoso explained and hurriedly transferred the pile of clothes and other items in front of them back.
"Are you sure you won't be discovered by doing this?" Lin Huang could not help asking after Virtuoso had finished transferring the items.
However, Virtuoso's answer was unexpected. "Of course we'll be discovered!
"As long as the four-faced individual scans his storage ring with his Divine Telekinesis and counts the items, he'll definitely notice that the fragment of the castellan's seal is missing. Moreover, it won't be long before he finds out that outsiders have arrived in Phantom City.
"Therefore, we must find the remaining fragment of the castellan's seal as soon as possible. It'd be best if we do it before he finds out that the castellan's seal has been stolen."
"Indeed, if he finds out that the fragment of the castellan's seal has been stolen, he'll definitely send people to search for outsiders. They'll definitely send people to search for outsiders, and it'll disrupt our subsequent operations. "Lin Huang nodded lightly as well.
"The longer we drag this out, the harder it will be for us to escape," Saber9 said with a serious expression.
