"That way, the Subordinate Cities won't have to expend so many resources organizing defenses on the periphery."
His reasoning was sound, so Sang Hanhai didn't press the matter. It wasn't much of a secret to begin with.
"It can't be mass-produced. The key isn't the Spirit Ring itself, but what's on it." Sang Hanhai lowered his voice conspiratorially.
Su Chen played along, a curious look on his face. "What's on it?"
"Symbols taken from a Stone Slab, which also came from those ruins." Sang Hanhai's eyes flickered, but he didn't hide the information.
Stone Slab!
Su Chen had finally gotten some concrete information, but it didn't seem to be a Holy Word Stone.
'And when Meng Qi devoured Zhu Xuan, didn't that group of Faceless Ghost Followers also mention a Stone Slab? Could it be the same thing?'
He suppressed the tremor of excitement in his heart and asked, "Can I see it?"
