The cylinder was far more complex than anything Lind had ever encountered. He had Forged artifacts capable of looking innocuous but able to level mountains, yet the cylinder in his hand put his work to shame.
It was refined but clearly by an expert far beyond him. The principles exceeded his capacity entirely!
It had arcane symbols on top of the inscriptions but he infused his Qi into it. He immediately felt knowledge come back to him and he understood what it was.
It was a master key. It had to be given by the Inheritance or earned by certain conditions. Since the Inheritance had watched potential candidates die due to stupidity, it had taken action to stop it.
The cylinder was essentially proof that he had the right to administer the Inheritance. It also excluded his entry at the same time. Clever.
The spirit knew he had the qualifications but he was not what the creator of it was looking for.
