Bab 435: Mystery of the metal cap

The discovery was something I definitely didn't expect. 

First, I could accept the existence of a treasury hidden out in nearly plain sight. After all, hardly any thief would bother looking through the main room of an auction hall for a place where all the treasuries of the auction would be hidden. Secondly, I could understand if the most important treasury of the rich auction house additionally acting on behalf of the royals of the entire country would have a high level of defenses set up. 

But...

But the quality of this metal cap and the formations imprinted on it didn't make sense in any of the scenarios that I could think of. 

"What do you think it is?" Mia asked in a hushed voice. 

I only shared a bit of what I discovered about this cap. And Mia, in all her glory, managed to figure out it was something that she shouldn't talk out loud.
