Low emotional intelligence version: Lazy, unambitious, and playing tricks.
You can only say that Kaier is truly from the Academy Faction, and his words on this topic sound much better than Cicia’s.
Of course, Cicia is a firsthand witness, knowing how tricky Wood Spirit is, so just hearing about Wood Spirit makes her want to roll her eyes. As for Kaier, he isn’t even an observer, hence speaking such inconsequential words.
"Back to the main topic." Angel: "Do you remember I brought out two Gold Coins at that time, right? One Gold Coin was my ticket, and the other Gold Coin was used to exchange for Wood Spirit’s ring."
At this point, Angel paused and said something off-topic: "Only Wood Spirit’s ring, Cicia was willing to exchange with me voluntarily. Because, for her, it’s the only flaw among all the treasures in her collection."
"Continuing. I traded with Cicia for Wood Spirit’s ring, thinking that if any of you know tracking-related Divination, you might use this ring to locate Wood Spirit. After all, this item belongs to Wood Spirit." When Angel mentioned ’tracking,’ he silently glanced at Black Earl, who turned the stone slab and directly ignored Angel’s gaze.
Seeing Black Earl not respond, Angel could only sigh: "How to use this ring for tracking, we’ll discuss later. I’ll first talk about an interesting point I found when I saw that Wood Spirit’s treasure was this ring."
Dox: "Interesting?"
Angel didn’t answer but summoned four pale blue Hands of Magic, placing the silver ring with dark patterns onto the first Hand of Magic.
Then he took out a second item from his bracelet, a small silver crown, precisely the crown he found during his live ’blind box’ opening. Angel placed this three-pronged crown onto the second Hand of Magic.
As for the third Hand of Magic, Angel placed the oval silver pendant he took from that special Ghosteye Witch.
On the last Hand of Magic, Angel directly placed Dangross.
Dangross looked around confused, not knowing what was happening. Angel pointed to the silver ring on its thumb, signaling it to remove it and place it on the Hand of Magic.
Dangross quite liked this silver ring that Speedy found, but since Angel asked for it, it still voluntarily removed it and, with a reluctant expression, placed the silver ring onto the Hand of Magic.
"Don’t make such a reluctant face; when we have time, I’ll refine a ring for each of your fingers, and they’ll be colorful and luminous, ensuring you’re the most noticeable little fellow when you go out." Angel casually promised while lifting Dangross from the Hand of Magic and re-hanging it on the Blood Night Shelter.
After settling Dangross, Angel signaled everyone to focus on the four Hands of Magic.
"The interesting point I mentioned is here. Now carefully observe, and see if you notice anything."
As soon as Angel finished speaking, Vay stood up first to respond: "The colors are very consistent; apart from the crown and the oval pendant having faint gold powder, they are mostly silver-white."
"The materials are almost similar, all using Nobility Silver."
"Lastly, they’re all mortal items." Vay paused: "Well, that’s all I discovered, I’m finished."
After Vay’s remark, Black Earl’s voice came out: "Your words are meaningless, didn’t touch the main point at all, truly foolish."
Vay froze in expression, having responded quickly to support the idol and prevent an awkward silence. Therefore, he hadn’t carefully observed, merely speaking what came to mind.
Unexpectedly, he was reprimanded by Black Earl immediately after speaking.
Vay, a bit aggrieved, returned his gaze to the four Hands of Magic, now scrutinizing them with an observant eye.
After careful observation, Vay truly noticed some details previously overlooked.
"The four placed together seem very harmonious." Vay: "Like... like..."
Kaier: "Like a complete object split into several smaller parts."
"Yes!" Vay nodded vigorously: "Kaier spoke to my heart; that’s precisely the feeling. Previously seen separately, there was no sensation, but placing them together evokes a sense of harmony, like they can assemble into one complete object."
After Vay spoke, he looked at Angel with anticipation.
Angel signaled Vay with his eyes to look to the side.
Vay instinctively turned his gaze aside, only to see Black Earl staring at him.
Vay: "Sir, did I say something wrong?"
Black Earl: "You didn’t say anything wrong; it just seems you wish more for Angel’s approval."
Vay chuckled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.
At this moment, Angel suddenly spoke, aiding Vay’s predicament: "Vay wasn’t wrong. Once I received the silver ring of Wood Spirit from Cicia, I noticed these items seemed connected. Of course, the inspiration was from Kaier’s reminder during the previous live broadcast."
Previously, during the live broadcast, Kaier speculated that the crown and the oval pendant appeared to have a connection as if they could merge into one. Due to Kaier’s reminder, when Angel saw the same colored silver ring brought out by Cicia, combined with the ring used as Dangross’s finger ring, he instantly had a connection in his mind.
Angel spoke while swiftly assembling the items using the four Hands of Magic.
Soon, a harmonious object, yet indistinguishable for what it was, appeared on the remaining Hand of Magic.
Though its use was temporarily unknown, its overall appearance was quite exquisite and harmonious, clearly unified.
The topmost part was a silver three-pronged crown, seemingly ordinary at a glance, yet upon closer inspection revealing carved dark patterns and occasional flashes of gold, possessing both subtlety and luxury.
Below the crown was the initially discovered silver ring by Speedy. Previously ignored due to its plainness and lack of pattern, now its existence seemed justified, revealing only a small segment while most of it was concealed by the crown, making it appear as a transitional layer beneath the crown.
Below the small ring was the oval pendant. Angel initially thought the crown could connect directly with the pendant, but it wasn’t quite the case. Inside the crown was a little mechanism not meant for the oval pendant but to fit the small ring.
The small ring happened to fit the oval pendant, covering its rounded upper part.
Beneath the silver pendant was the larger ring exchanged from Cicia, engraved with Bitroot leaf encircling patterns, perfectly fitting the lower rounded part of the oval pendant.
With both rounded parts of the pendant covered, at first glance, the oval pendant transformed into a square body.
Overall, aside from its unknown function, it was quite exquisite and beautiful, seamlessly integrated and cohesive.
