Chapter 320: Another Fragment
"The third auction item is this crown. Even we don’t exactly know what it does, but its name is Crown of the Black Sea," Mr. Crow explained as he pointed toward the black crown, which held a crimson ruby at its center.
All eyes turned toward the crown. Its shape was majestic and intimidating, and what struck everyone even more was the aura it radiated.
It felt like some kind of divine aura—something beyond the comprehension of mortals, an aura that seemed to reflect the presence of the gods themselves.
Even so, many people considered it ridiculous, perhaps even a scam... How could a crown possibly have a divine aura?
Anything divine should be tied to demigods or even actual gods—beings who stood at the absolute pinnacle of existence. If this item were truly divine, surely the demigods would’ve acted to take it for themselves.
"These damn Bandits actually think they can fool us?"
"Maybe they don’t even know themselves. In any case, there are many powerful people here. I doubt they’d dare attempt a scam."
"True. Still... even if the aura’s fake, it looks way too real." The participants began murmuring among themselves.
Despite many of them seeing the crown as a joke or even a scam, there were still plenty who found themselves drawn to it.
And one of them was Daniel. Sitting in his VIP room, he was staring at the crown—and more precisely, the crimson ruby embedded in it—with awe and fascination.
"You like the crown? I wouldn’t waste my time. That ’divine aura’ is definitely fake. But I’ll admit, whoever made it did an amazing job," said Serys as she noticed the look on his face.
But Daniel ignored her. His blood was boiling, and he felt an intense sense of familiarity and connection to that crimson ruby.
