After deciding on their next course of action, Modret followed the direction Celine had given him toward the black market.
It took a little while to get there, but before long they arrived at a large tree by the roadside. Strange scribbles and engravings covered its bark, twisting around like a secret language.
Modret stared at it with curiosity. 'Space ability... This is the first time I'm seeing something like that,' he thought, genuinely surprised.
Even he didn't possess any space-related abilities, so he could instantly tell how rare this was.
Aside from the engravings, there was nothing remarkable about the tree. To a passerby, it would look completely ordinary, but Modret knew better.
He turned to Axel. "Did you bring it?"
Axel nodded and handed him a black mask.
According to Celine, anyone heading into the black market needed to hide their identity—there was always a chance of being targeted afterward.
