We didn't find any other artifacts aside from what Leo and I picked up.
But that didn't mean the place was empty.
Magical fruits.
They weren't on the same level as the Drakevolt Lance or my newly acquired [Soul-Bound Staff]—disguised as a rusty bracelet—but they were still valuable.
Not priceless treasures, but good enough to fetch a decent price on the market. Maybe even rare enough for alchemists or scholars to come running with fat purses and bigger egos.
And judging by the way everyone was huddled in a circle and chatting, that's exactly what they were discussing.
As I leaned against the wall, letting them figure it out, Violet broke away from the group.
She was walking toward me.
I straightened up slightly.
Now what's this about?
Her eyes scanned me from head to toe, then stopped at the bracelet on my wrist.
Wait a second.
No. Don't tell me…
I instinctively placed my hand behind my back, covering the bracelet with my sleeve.
