Chapter 290
I felt a bit stupid because of my brain’s capacity. But I still was focused on what brought me so excited to this door beside the books on the other side.
My hand went into the pocket. It was nice that Paige and Sir Vitor stayed still, probably waiting for me to ask the guard on the hidden side to open the gate. Hence, I pulled out the treasure box and opened it to find my pretty tear and...
’It’s shining!!’
Hell yeah! That’s what I’m talking about!!
I lifted my head to see if the door was also reacting but sadly it wasn’t. Nonetheless.
’Heh. I’m not an amateur. I’ve read enough to know. So... What if... What if I get it closer?’ — Bringing the box to the point of touching the unique material of the door, I thought something else could happen, but again...
’Hmph. No reaction, huh...’ — I held it in place for a good while thinking it could be some kind of network inconvenience with the parallel world or something. We can’t be sure.
But sadly, no reaction occurred as much as I waited.
In the end, I came to lay my eyes on the spirit’s tear that continued to shine and pondered for a moment. Not really convinced if I should take it on my hand to try more of a physical touch directly with the door’s material.
"... Your treasure is shining, my Lady... As expected, archaic objects do have a link with the beings we cannot see..." — Paige said, probably noticing my trouble.
’Is that how it is?... Maybe this is nothing out of the ordinary?’ — A bit disillusioned, I thought.
’But, ugh... I don’t want to touch it... My hands could be dirty...’
