Everything happened just as everyone expected. People were killed in the warehouse area, and the things inside were destroyed and stolen.

Soon, the city guards blocked the road leading to the outside world...

To be precise, it is not a blockade, but an inspection.

The purpose is to find the culprit who stole the warehouse.

This city is supported by seaport trade. If merchants' goods suffer losses, it is likely to arouse dissatisfaction among many merchants. You must know that Mersin is not just a port, and there are many places to enter inland.

If the city's handling of the situation fails to satisfy merchants, they may choose another port next time.

Therefore, even if it was just for show, the road had to be blocked and suspicious people had to be carefully checked... and in the evening, a notice was posted outside the hotel, explaining what happened in the warehouse area today.

The gist of it is that someone secretly disguised themselves as a city merchant and sneaked into the warehouse area, not only stealing inside but also killing two people. This was a provocation to the city guards.

Therefore, hotels in all areas of the city have to actively join in the search for the murderer. The stolen item is a purple crystal. If you find it, you must report it.

Followed by a string of bounties.

It was only a few thousand dollars. I don’t know whether it was given by the merchants or raised by the city’s guards.

This amount of money is not much for Sean, but it is a good amount for ordinary people... Inside the hotel, those idle people really took this matter to heart. Before anyone entered, they would stare at their bags. Even if they couldn't search, they would find out what was wrong.

In a room somewhere, Lucille looked at the people outside who were doing nothing and laughed in her heart.

"These guys are so stupid. They think they can find us like this? What can those few people do... It's simply outrageous." There was an area where the private room for two people was located where one could see the hotel entrance.

There was no "idle person" standing at the door, and everyone looked around before entering.

And he is a guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

If they see someone who is strong or armed coming in, they dare not look at them any longer. On the contrary, if it is a slightly weaker merchant, especially a woman or an elderly person, they will almost rob them.

Although Lucille rarely meddles in other people's affairs, she couldn't help but complain after seeing this scene, otherwise she would feel unhappy...

"There are many people in this world who take advantage of situations, and even more people will use a certain policy to suppress others, so that they can stand on the right side and be invincible, and then they can do whatever they want." Sean said in the room without even bothering to look outside.

"These people really do whatever they want..."

Lucille stared at the people at the door below, and at this moment she really wanted to teach them a lesson.

If it wouldn't expose me, I might have actually gone.

"It's so infuriating! I can't bear to watch it anymore."

Sean noticed the little girl's mood change and said with a smile.

"But these people are also the largest group in every city. Not many can truly rise to power. Most people simply live with resentment buried in their hearts, and once they have the opportunity to vent, they won't let it go..."

Thanks to the existence of these people, the incident has become more and more complicated.

It's impossible that I'm the only one who has the purple crystal. Maybe in a few days someone will find out that those jewelers actually have more. Then if they all make trouble, I'll have a better chance of leaving the city.

Lucille was so angry that she simply stopped watching.

Close the window and sit down across from Sean...

At this time, the purple crystal stone was placed on the table.

Lucille didn't know how to look at the quality, she only looked at the shape. Because it had been hammered, the stone was irregular and even had many cracks, which was not very good-looking.

I have seen more beautiful stones in Sister Rachel's house in the palace of Kserk. Even the stones used in alchemy are more beautiful than this one. I wonder what the use of this thing is.

"Teacher, what is the use of this stone that you got with so much difficulty?" she asked.

"Actually, I'm also thinking about its use. Reach out and touch it and see..."

Lucille obediently reached out and touched the purple stone.

It's a little cold, and very cold.

"It's so cold."

"Well, the temperature of this stone is lower than our body temperature, but it is not affected by the surrounding environment." Sean said.

Ash and the others' previous explanation wasn't quite right.

It is not because the stone is cold, but because the temperature of the stone itself is low, so it feels cold when you touch it. This should be due to the temperature of the stone itself.

Coming from the deep sea, the material is completely different from that on land!

"What does this mean?" Lucille asked in confusion.

"That is to say, it has some kind of power that ensures it remains unaffected by any environment. This is very special... I'm trying to figure it out now."

Just from the perspective of temperature, the Ancient Crystal is really special.

The fact that it is not affected by external interference means that it has considerable power to resist the outside world, but it is a power that cannot be used by itself, because in its own vision it is simply written as [Crystal of the Ancients].

The name is correct, which means you got the right thing.

And based on Sean's understanding of Yog-Sothoth, he wouldn't send himself to another timeline. Since he wanted to find the Ancients, he would appear in a time related to them...

Sure enough, I encountered it this time, but I don’t know what this crystal is used for.

Sean tried hard to recall the scene he had seen before. He had indeed seen this crystal when he first summoned Yog-Sothoth during the battle in Bashalan Palace, and the impression was very clear in his mind.

Sadly, just like I said before...

Human memory is selective. If you don't recall those fleeting images later, they will almost be forgotten. Moreover, after a few years, I continued to receive those messages and images from Youge, and over time I couldn't remember them.

There is just this visual sense, but unfortunately there is no specific story.

Sean stroked the purple crystal, hoping to use Yug's ability again to recall something. If he couldn't remember it, at least he could solve it.

But after trying several times, I still don’t feel anything…

If the purpose of crystal is too long ago, then it may have exceeded the scope of human cognition. No matter how hard you think about it, you can't figure it out unless you directly ask someone who knows.

But it was Yog who asked him to come here. If it started telling the story, it would have to start from the creation of the world, and it would be difficult for Sean to bear the news from all over the world.

It's like everything that's happening in the world at that moment is being transmitted to you all at once...

Maybe Yug is used to it, but Sean is a mortal after all!
