After returning to Karida Manor, Velin felt more relaxed than ever before.
Before the grand gathering began, he decided to stay peacefully at the manor and enjoy this period of tranquility.
As for Kyle, who knew where he had run off to test his new weapon.
On the green lawn, Velin lay lazily on a wooden recliner, basking in the warm sunlight while absentmindedly toying with the mysterious Plata Stone in his hand.
"Could this so-called Seven Emotions Stone have stopped working? Or perhaps it couldn't adapt to this new world and was suffering from some kind of incompatibility? It's been several days without the slightest reaction."
Bored out of his mind, Velin turned over and stared at the Plata Stone in his palm, which he had traded the Crescent Moon Key for. After trying all night yesterday, the stone had remained as silent and still as stagnant water. If Gerrard had not personally handed it to him, he might have thought he had been scammed.
"Come to think of it, when I swallowed that Gray Crystal, I didn't experience the slightest emotional fluctuation either... Could it be that I'm simply incompatible with things like this?" Velin muttered as he gazed at the Plata Stone in his hand.
With that thought, he decisively took another Gray Crystal from his Spatial Ring and gripped it tightly in his right hand.
As he absorbed the Gray Crystal, Velin widened his eyes and stared without blinking at the Plata Stone in his left palm.
As time passed, the stone remained gray, without the slightest change in color.
At that moment, in an unnoticed corner, the Druid's Book was happily enjoying its meal. As for the useless stone trying to compete with it for food, it could not even touch a single hair.
