Chapter 1189: Don't Hit, It Hurts, I'm Getting Up

~7 min read 1,355 words

Silver Coin was also projected onto Anthony's body through Ang's soul network, took a look, and then said: "This is a wax seal."

"Wax seal? What do you mean? The kind of wax seal that seals secret letters?" Negris was stunned. What does this have to do with the kind of wax seal that seals secret letters?

"Like a wax seal, there must be wax and a seal to form a complete wax seal. Although this is not wax, it is also printed. It must be combined with a seal to see a complete mark. It is mainly for anti-counterfeiting. There is something similar in function to it, and that is the ancient military tally." Silver Coin explained.

"Oh, anti-counterfeiting, combination." Saying it like this, Anthony immediately understood: "Combination encryption mark, understood. It has two, and they must fit together to form a real mark. Now there is only half here."

"Oh, combination mark is combination mark, what wax seal, almost didn't understand." Negris said irritably.

Silver Coin explained: "Because this mark is pressed out, it is unique, so it can only fit with the seal that pressed it out, so it is more similar to a wax seal."

Anthony nodded: "If it is like this, then the texture must also match."

Combination encryption marks like military tallies sometimes are one-to-two or one-to-several. As long as they fit, it's fine. But if it's like a wax seal pressed out, the wax seal and the seal need to match even the texture.

Just like human fingerprints are unique, the texture of each 'seal' is also unique. In other words, the only thing that can complete this wax seal is the corresponding seal.

This kind of thing can't even be cracked by the Blemish Removal Technique, because it's not about removing the mark, but completing the mark.

"Really troublesome. It was unfolded with great difficulty, but it still needs a wax seal for encryption. However, I still feel this emblem is a bit familiar. What do you think?" Negris asked.

Silver Coin examined it for a while and said: "Listening to you say this, I also feel a bit. You and I both feel familiar, that means we have both seen it. The emblems we have all seen in this world are: one is the Merchant Association, one is the Wise Association, and one is... the Feilie Empire?"

While Silver Coin was speaking, he flipped through the emblems of the organizations he named. When he flipped to the Feilie Empire, Silver Coin and Negris said in unison: "That's it."

The missing part of this emblem highly overlaps with the missing part of the Feilie Empire royal emblem. In other words, the Feilie Empire royal emblem and this emblem can overlap together.

As soon as the two emblems overlap, their relationship can be seen immediately. However, if viewed separately, it is difficult to see the similarities between the two.

If it weren't for Negris's good memory, quickly piecing together the style of the other side from the missing part, and then feeling familiar, it would be easy for others to ignore it.

"So we have to find Queen Feilie to ask for the other half now? What excuse should we use to ask for it?" Negris asked distressingly.

Queen Feilie might not even know the existence of this thing. If we run over to ask for no reason, let alone whether we can get that unique 'seal', Queen Feilie will ask why we want that, how do we answer?

"The excuse is not difficult. At worst, we can give up some benefits. If this is something left by Queen Feilie's ancestors, we found it for her, how should she thank us?" Anthony asked.

Negris said hesitantly: "Seal you a title?"

"... Then he will get a magic rubbing." Anthony said irritably.

"Then what to do? Can't marry you and let you be a prince? Prince Anthony?" Negris said.

"Can you stop being so indecent? You are a dragon of tens of thousands of years old, old and indecent." Anthony said irritably.

Silver Coin added: "We must first figure out what this thing is. If only one 'seal' can unlock its secret, then she is equivalent to mastering the core element. No matter what, being able to be hidden by the Lord of Starborn as a treasury, it must be a very important thing."

Negris didn't say anything anymore, but changed the subject: "I suddenly discovered that Silver Coin and you both have a trait. For something that looks very precious at first glance, my first reaction is to monopolize it and hide it without telling anyone. Your first reaction is to find her to cooperate. Is this the trait that makes you become a god-stick and a merchant?"

Anthony said inexplicably: "Why suddenly say this?"

"Just a bit of emotion. You two are very successful in whatever you do. There must be something special. This trait is very likely one of them." Negris sighed.

"Uh, you are a dragon, collecting treasures is instinct, it's very normal. To talk about success, you are also very successful. You are My Lord's most trusted translator. You are the real spokesperson of God. As for us, just pragmatists." Anthony comforted.

It must be said that Anthony is really good at comforting people. Negris felt much better. Mainly, it discovered that its thinking was very different from theirs.

Discovering that this thing is very likely to belong to the Feilie family, its first thought was to hide it, while Anthony and Silver Coin's first thought was to cooperate. This difference made it feel out of place. Is it because of this that the two of them are so successful in whatever they do?

"Hiding it has no meaning. If it is hidden, then it is a dead object, and we will never understand its secret. The Lord of Starborn should have chosen to hide it, treating it as a storage space with compression ability, not even being able to unfold it, so he didn't discover the connection between this thing and the Feilie family."

"Now we have unfolded it, it has become a 'core', but we still don't know what it is used for. If we don't dig out its value, then in the end, we might only be able to treat it as a place to store things, or use it as a book tower for you."

"If its function cannot be dug out, then it is a dead object. If its role can be dug out, even if we share half with Queen Feilie, we can still have the other half. Now what we need to know is what conditions Queen Feilie is willing to accept. If she says this is an ancestor's relic and is not willing to share it at all, then let it rot."

Makes sense, it can only be like this. As for how to distribute it, that is Anthony and Silver Coin's business. Negotiation is their profession.

Negris was about to say something, when Ang and the small sapling squatting on the spot suddenly stomped their feet hard on the ground.

After coming in, the small sapling had been staring at the emblem on the ground, and Ang was also squatting down looking at the emblem. Originally thought they were just studying these emblems, but didn't expect them to stomp their feet now.

Especially the small sapling, one of its feet turned into a root, stuck on the protrusion of the emblem, tightly buckled, and the other foot stomped hard. That posture was like grabbing someone's collar and slapping them, especially fierce.

It's rare for the small sapling to be so fierce. On the contrary, Ang, more like backing the small sapling, the small sapling stomped once, and he followed and stomped once.

After stomping a few times, a painful voice finally couldn't help but sound: "Don't hit, it hurts, don't hit, I'm getting up."

The emblem on the ground slowly lit up.

Negris and the others looked at this scene and said weakly: "It... seems we don't need to find Queen Feilie." ===== CHAPTER 1190 =====
