This was the ninth [Fragment of the Elven Key (Orange)].
It was also the final fragment needed to assemble the Elven Key.
These key fragments were not particularly large, only about the size of a thumb.
They were fan-shaped, like tiny slices of pizza.
Small and exquisite, they gleamed with an orange light.
Even the fragments were orange-grade; the complete Elven Key would at least be a high-tier Radiant Grade item.
As a token resembling an access key, it certainly could not reach demigod or inheritance grade.
Zong Shen took out all the key fragments Zoe Babbitt had given him.
Then, he neatly arranged all the fragments across the tabletop.
Following the engravings on the fragments, he began piecing them together with great interest.
The patterns carved upon them were the sun, moon, flower, vine, and tree.
All the patterns connected end to end, so with a little discernment, assembling them was no difficult task.
Before long, Zong Shen had put all the fragments together.
Silver light shone from the edges of the fragments, which finally fused together seamlessly and became a single whole.
The nine fan-shaped fragments became a disc roughly the size of his palm.
The entire surface of the disc was covered in a seven-colored glow.
It looked exceptionally extraordinary.
Zong Shen gently picked it up and could feel a certain pulse coming from within.
The source of that pulse lay in the earth beneath him.
That was right—the key in his hand was resonating with the entire region.
"As expected of Azshara's Key of Authority."
Zong Shen held it in his palm but did not immediately respond to the resonance of its authority.
He had already learned that this key could not only open the treasury.
It was also the controlling authority of Azshara Great City.
