As soon as Mr. Chardon placed some Reiki into the ring, he could immediately feel the formation that was slowly operating in the ring.
He was instantly shocked and thought to himself, ‘This formation is constantly working, so I wonder what effect it has.’
Although Mr. Chardon had mastered Reiki, he did not know much about magical instruments and formations.
Although he had a wooden sword and there was an attack formation in the wooden sword, he could only use it but not refine it.
He did not understand the mystery of formation nor could he understand the basic principles and logic of the formation.
Therefore, when he saw the formation that Charlie had left in the ring, he suddenly could not figure out the purpose of this formation.
In actuality, this formation was a passive defense formation recorded in the Apocalyptic Book. Once the person wearing the magical instrument was attacked, the formation would be activated immediately, using its own energy to defend the owner from the attack.
The principle of the strength and effect of the formation was like a simple arithmetic problem. If the attack received was less than the strength of the formation itself, the owner would be unscathed. However, if the attack received was greater than the strength of the formation itself, the formation would do its best to resist the attack for the master. As for the part that could not be resisted, the master would have to bear it, then.
Immediately afterward, he thought to himself again, ‘But should I snatch this magical instrument directly or should I return it to the guy first before I continue to pry and get more information out of him? It’s easy for me to snatch it away as it would be impossible for this kid to stop me, but I will definitely be unable to move forward in Aurous Hill if the other party calls the police in this large crowd. What’s more, if his boss possesses some other magical instruments, wouldn’t I be suffering a big loss just for a small gain?’
At this point, Mr. Chardon finally figured out the logic of the whole situation in his mind.
He speculated, ‘The guy in front of me who has such greed for money should be the lackey of a tomb robbery gang in Aurous Hill. The gang must have just dug out a new tomb recently and obtained this jade ring as well as some other cultural relics and antiques. They must be looking for buyers with power now, otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked this guy to come here to hold a sign to wait for contact with some Hong Kong businessmen. Since there are no businessmen from Hong Kong here yet, I should see if I can get in line and see all the gains from their tomb robbery first. Wouldn’t I be reaping a huge profit if there are indeed many magical instruments?’
With that thought in mind, Mr. Chardon looked at Landon and asked very seriously, “Young man, how much are you willing to sell this ring for? You can quote me a price, and I will buy this ring from you if the price is reasonable!”
