The strange ear was baffling.
It felt soft to the touch, and even held a little body heat.
If the grime on its surface had not obscured the contours of the inner ear...
Holding this thing would have been rather creepy.
It was hard to imagine what kind of noble or wealthy merchant would have tastes bizarre enough to collect something like this.
But perhaps this ear had some other marvelous use.
Like that fellow who had become the gambling king of Lentax Great City by relying on the [Pocket Watch Always Three Seconds Fast (Special)].
Lords were not the only ones who could make use of these [Special] and [Unknown] items. Natives could too.
It was just that natives usually struggled to uncover the clues hidden deep within these items. Only effects that were relatively easy to activate tended to be discovered and put to use.
Natives collectively referred to such items as wondrous magical objects.
Their overall classification and use were not as meticulous as those of the lords.
After all, quite a few items of [Special] and [Unknown] quality had no effects that could be activated directly. They were more like tokens or hooks for certain events.
Natives could not make use of those items.
Thus, it was also possible that this strange ear had been collected because it possessed some unusual effect.
Otherwise, judged purely as a collectible...
It failed to meet the standards in every way.

Only then did he activate the Strategy Module.
