The goblin's clothes were tattered beyond recognition, but Ron still found a few scattered Magic Stone Fragments in its pockets. It seemed the creature truly made its living by selling information and participating in robberies.
Besides those, there were some miscellaneous trinkets—a few scattered gold coins, a small knife covered in rust, and even some dried, shriveled meat.
Just as he was about to give up, his fingers touched something hard and cold. It was an exquisite Silver Pocket Watch, carefully hidden by the goblin in an inner pocket.
The surface of the Pocket Watch was engraved with intricate patterns. Although it was coated in a layer of dust, its extraordinary craftsmanship was still apparent.
Ron instinctively extended his mental power toward the Pocket Watch, only to discover in surprise that the item was actively responding to his probing, as if a long-sleeping creature had suddenly been awakened.
A strange energy fluctuation radiated from the Pocket Watch and formed some kind of Resonance with his mental power, filling his heart with an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"What is this?" Andre walked over and looked curiously at the Pocket Watch in Ron's hand.
"It looks quite valuable. It was probably something this goblin stole before."
Ron did not answer immediately. Instead, he focused on sensing the energy fluctuation coming from the Pocket Watch in his hand.
This energy was different from any kind of magic power he had encountered before. It was purer, and more... familiar, as if he had touched something deeply connected to himself.
At that moment, a glimmer that only he could see flashed across the Pocket Watch. Immediately afterward, a transparent panel appeared before his eyes with a notification:
