After listening to Abel's words, Richard blinked his eyes and asked aloud, "Is the Blood Seal a cursed, ominous object? Why say so?"
"Last time, during the exchange meeting, Rees spoke to you about it. Since the Blood Seal was unearthed, dozens of wizards have died fighting over it, including some handlers." Abel spoke softly, glancing over with inquiry, "Do you remember these things?"
"I remember." Richard nodded, his memory still fresh with these details.
"Good to remember. However, he didn't fully explain." Abel sighed and said, "From what I know, everyone who handled the Blood Seal has met an untimely end. Apart from those killed by spells in the fights, some intermediary merchants or collectors often mysteriously die shortly after selling it.
As for… Wizard Rees, he is currently considered missing, but after days of no contact with him, we can almost confirm he met with misfortune, which is a significant loss for our Ancient Artifact Exchange Meeting."
