After their conversation ended, they went their separate ways again.
The Lionheart family had their own palace, and Andreas and Ilaris would stay there until the end of the auction.
Naturally, Daniel also returned to the inn, though before going back, he took a glance at the jewel Andreas had given him.
Aside from its black color streaked with hints of purple, the jewel seemed completely ordinary.
But that was exactly the problem—it only appeared ordinary, yet there was nothing ordinary about it.
The most important reason was that the jewel did not conduct mana or any kind of energy.
That alone was strange. There were indeed jewels that didn't conduct mana, but each of those was very well-known and extremely valuable.
However, this stone? No one knew what it was or where it came from.
Andreas himself said that Ilaris had found the jewel on the first floor of the tower when she was clearing it.
Ilaris had given it to him, and he decided to pass the stone to Daniel.
