A wave of radiance flowed across the surface of the black metal case. The Runes of Leta activated by Hathaway formed a passage, while Hesperis's bloodline power became the device's energy source. A faint glow rapidly traveled along several ridges on the case, leaving clear traces behind. These straight lines divided the case into more than a dozen sections, and only after they appeared did Hao Ren realize how the thing was supposed to be opened.
However, he did not need to open the case himself. After the seal was removed, the continuous sound of mechanical friction inside the case grew increasingly distinct. Finally, accompanied by several soft clicks, the ancient container broke apart along the glowing lines, transforming into an open structure through a clever mechanism. Nestled among more than a dozen components were four pale-yellow scrolls that looked almost brand-new.
That was everything.
Hao Ren had not expected the Olympus legacy he had gone to such lengths to find to consist of only four scrolls. The amount of information was far less than he had anticipated, but he knew there could be no doubt about how precious these things were.
