A few days later, in Duke's room, six divine fragments were placed in six sealing boxes of various colors.
Fiery red, earthy yellow, blue-white, azure, pale gold, and inky black, lined up in the firelight of the fireplace, they lay there quietly like six stars fallen from different skies.
These divine fragments were all highly condensed forms of rules, enough to aid Duke in his practice for a long time, greatly accelerating his rule practice speed.
After the auction concluded, Morning Star Manor reverted to calm for a few days.
Elf attendants began to clean the Starlight Hall, and occasionally wizards met in the garden, without the initial tension.
Leon frequently dragged Edmond to the courtyard to practice swordplay, while Vera spent her days in her room digesting the bottle of Ancient Vine Marrow. Duke rarely went out and mostly devoted his time to studying the newly acquired divine fragments.
The last night was still a grand ceremonial banquet.
