Chen Lun took stock of his gains in the study.
He placed all three collectibles on the desk and examined them one by one.
First was the stone tablet fragment. From the panel's prompts and description, Chen Lun learned that it was called the "Fate Monument" and had seemingly been carved by a high-ranking being of the Earth Faction.
Some hidden truths were recorded on it, but since this was only a fragment from one corner, he could not yet see the whole picture or learn its original contents.
The writing carved on it was also utterly unfamiliar, seemingly some ancient language. Chen Lun could barely make out a few scattered words and short phrases, but he could not identify their true meanings.
The panel indicated that this language was called "Yanita." Deciphering it required the corresponding language skill, and at a fairly high level, too.
Chen Lun had no choice but to give up.
He had a feeling that this stone tablet was extremely valuable. If he could gather the fragments and restore it, perhaps it would yield an unexpected surprise... perhaps its name was also what had stirred his imagination.
Fate Monument... is it an important item related to the Fate Pathway...?
Chen Lun speculated to himself.
After pondering fruitlessly for a while, he put away the stone tablet fragment and picked up the yellowed parchment manuscript.
The ink on this manuscript had blurred somewhat, but it was still barely legible. Its contents appeared to be travel notes written by someone named "Sid Mitchell."
Mitchell... that name sounds a little familiar.
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
He searched his memories of his previous life and soon recalled that the Mitchell Family seemed to be a secretive supernatural family that had worshipped an Angel of the Earth Faction for generations.
