An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 956

Two copper basins were soon brought as Edith ordered. One contained water, while the other had burning charcoal.

"Let's try it out."

Edith took a deep breath before tossing the scripture into the water.

Everyone observed the scripture, waiting for something to happen, but nothing did.

Apprehensively, Edith fished the scripture out. Still, nothing seemed to have changed.

"See, Madam Edith. I told you it wouldn't work!" Brittany complained.

"Let's try again!" Edith gritted her teeth and raised the scripture again.

"Madam Edith!" Brittany quickly stopped Edith.

"We can let it dry if it's wet. But if we burn it, we'll never get it back. Please think this through!"

"I've memorized all its contents anyway, so there's no need to keep it!"

Edith brushed Brittany's hand away and threw the scripture into the fire.

A puff of green smoke swirled around the basin as the scripture erupted in flames. It quickly turned into a pile of ash.

"Madam Edith, I see something inside!" Nikki's eyes were sharp, and she quickly spotted the difference.

"I knew we'd find something!"

Edith extinguished the flames excitedly. She fumbled through the ash before coming in contact with a specially crafted gold leaf.

After washing the gold leaf clean, Edith realized a map was carved into it.

There were five words engraved at the map's final destination—"The Tomb of Iris Meskill".

"Iris Meskill? Isn't that our ancestor?" Edith got over her surprise and was overjoyed.

She burst out laughing. "This is great! I knew our efforts wouldn't go to waste.

"I never expected our ancestors to hide this treasure in the scripture. How lucky!"

Iris Meskill was the third-generation leader of Jade Sister Maidenhood. She stood out as the most exceptional and promising leader in its history. Fifty years ago, she was renowned for her beauty and skill.
