The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Sylvia's POV:

I took out the transparent gemstone and, to my surprise, there was a manual in the box.

The manual explained that the gemstone would be transparent when not in use. However, after the user dripped their own blood onto it, the gemstone would turn pale pink, and from then on, it would only be effective for this user. The gemstone would then become hot when someone who was related to the user by blood was within one meter of the user.

To put it simply, this gem could be used to recognize its user's relatives.

I remembered that there was a simple mention of this gem in the book I had readjust now. I was under the impression that it was a powerful tool, but it was just a low level magical item. Other than recognizing relatives, it was useless! Besides, it was easy to produce and didn't cost that much. Such trinkets were easy to find in the black market.

Realizing this, I pursed my lips unhappily and put the gem back into the wooden box. "It's useless."

"What do you mean?" Flora picked up the box I had just set aside and shouted excitedly, "Aren't you looking for your father? This could be helpful!"
