She immediately reached into her storage and carefully took it out.
The smooth crystal reflected the warm indoor lights, releasing a faint white glow that made it appear mysterious.
She walked over to Axel before extending it toward him.
"Uncle", she asked curiously, "can you analyse this for me?"
Axel accepted the crystal before examining it carefully.
His brows gradually knitted together.
The crystal was unlike anything he had ever seen.
Across countless treasure catalogues and ancient records, there were only a handful of similar white crystals, yet none matched this one perfectly.
Even after turning it around several times beneath the light, he couldn't identify it.
Finally, he looked at Lana.
"If you don't mind," he said seriously, "can you leave this with me? I want to conduct some research first. Once I'm certain about its identity, I'll give you a definite answer."
Lana nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"Of course."
