Everyone looked toward Angel's palm, only to see something familiar.
A silvery-white ring.
"Wasn't this the ring Swift Spirit found on the One-Eyed Wraith in that alleyway earlier?" Dox recalled.
"It looks very similar, but it isn't the same. I remember the ring Swift Spirit found was smaller; this one looks a little bigger." Kael spoke up. He had handled that silver ring before, so he remembered it clearly. "And this ring has a circle of dark patterns on it. That's different from the previous ring too. It looks a little more refined."
Dox observed it carefully for a while and noticed the differences as well. "There are indeed some discrepancies, but the overall shape is very similar. The materials look alike too—both are ordinary iron wrapped in aristocratic silver."
As he said this, Dox looked at Angel. "Where did you find this thing? Does it have something to do with the Wood Spirit too?"
The others also looked curiously at Angel. How could such an ordinary ring be connected to the Wood Spirit?
Angel said, "I traded for it from Xixia. It was the... treasure the Wood Spirit used to exchange for passage rights with Xixia."
At that, everyone understood. Angel meant that this ring belonged to the Wood Spirit—and was even its treasure?
Dox frowned. "So this piece of junk has some kind of significance?"
Ordinary objects could possess significance. Yet when an item carried the fullness of its owner's emotions, there was a way to sense that essence through inspiration. But this ring truly did not seem to possess any significance.
Angel shook his head. "It has no significance. Xixia explicitly stated that it had none."
"Xixia accepts things without significance too? Then weren't we cheated before? My rapier... damn woman!" Dox was filled with righteous indignation,
