"This is..." Axia's eyes widened as she tentatively reached out and pinched the small risen gold metal plate. With a gentle tug, she pulled the metal plate directly out from the box, and then it lay in the palm of her hand.
The metal plate was about ten centimeters long and only a few centimeters wide. Holding it in her hand, she could clearly feel the coldness of the metal.
She examined the metal plate carefully. It seemed to be engraved with intricate patterns, with the widths and depths of the engravings only one hundredth or even one thousandth of a millimeter. If this were man-made, the person who engraved this metal plate must have been a highly skilled craftsman.
After a more detailed examination, Axia realized that this metal plate was not so simple. The engravings were not just decorative patterns but bona fide rune traces.
