The moment Jacob mentioned the mysterious monolithic quartz, the Brocade Box suddenly stiffened its patterns, as if it had encountered something it had not wished to remember.
"…You noticed," it murmured.
"What is it?" Jacob asked, clearly noticing the trepidation within the Artifact Spirit's voice.
For the first time since their conversation began, the Artifact Spirit's voice carried genuine unease.
"That," it said slowly, "I don't know what it is, but it's an extraordinary object!"
Jacob's flaming eyes flared as his interest was instantly piqued. After all, if even this Divine Artifact has no idea what this 'quartz' was, not to mention it wasn't stored within the Brocade Box as well, then it has to be extraordinary.
"How is it extraordinary? Could it be you can't store it in your so-called 'Divine Repository? Moreover, since you called it 'extraordinary,' you definitely know about its uses or what kind of power it holds." Jacob inquired curtly.
