Chapter 969

On the screen, the black and white shades presented a huge, slightly

oval ball, with countless slender leaves reaching out from the rhizome

like tentacles.

It was a very strange ... thing. It looked like neither plants nor animals.

"What kind of totem is this?" Luther couldn't help but ask.

"Rare indeed. I have been checking around for a long time. It feels like

it should be like this one.”

Mr. Ward switched to the search result page and opened the

introduction, "Silversword. This plant grows at high altitude in the crater

of a volcano, which is such a harsh desert-like environment, where the

volcano constantly emits steam, making the surrounding area burning

hot. You usually could not find any creatures around the crater,

however, Silversword is an exception. It is tenacious and must be

tested by the hot sun during the day and bear the subzero

temperatures at night, fighting against nature. Even so, it still lives up to

twenty years and is the most peculiar flower in the great nature."

Luther carefully compared the pictures, and it was really similar.

"Well, that makes sense. It used the shape of a dagger used by female

generals in ancient times. The totem is Silversword. It shows that the

original intent of the pendant should be for the girl, hoping that she will

survive even in the worst of circumstances.”

Luther analyzed.

"Yes, that's right. That was the intent.”

Mr. Ward nodded his head.

"Mr. Ward, do you know the origin of this totem?" Luther asked

suspiciously.

Mr. Ward shook his head, “Never seen such a strange totem."

Luther was disappointed that even Mr. Ward didn't know the origin of

the pendant, so who else could he ask?

“Not like an antique, but more like something left behind by some family

as a legacy that has been passed down from generation to generation."

Mr. Ward analyzed, "Sorry, I wasn't able to solve the puzzle. But, Mr.

Warner, you can give me one more day, and I will help you clean it all

and restore the missing part of the totem on it and fill in the original

color. What do you think?"

"Good. Can you make another pendant for me. I want this totem on it,

but it should use a different shape. Maybe just a regular square plaque

will do. And it should still be silver."

Luther asked.

“This is easy. I will engrave the pattern with a computer machine and

give it to you tomorrow night."

Mr. Ward responded.

"Thanks."

Luther straightened up, and Casey who was right next to him hurried to

get the bag. Finally they could go. He had been here all day long and

got nothing done.

As Luther was about to walk out of Sanmon Antiques...

Mr. Ward suddenly came out from inside his workroom and chased

after him.

"Mr. Warner, one moment, please.”

At that time, it was slightly dark.

The sunset had been replaced by a gray haze, and the faint light from

the lantern dimly lit the ancient courtyard. They felt like they had been

back to the old days in that haze.

Luther slowly turned back.

Mr. Ward walked to the door, "I suddenly remembered one thing. Have

Mr. Warner heard of the Heath family in the Capital? Ask the Heath

family and they may be able to clear up Mr. Warner's doubts.”

"The Heath family?"

Luther's body stiffened and his handsome face was stunned.
