Seiya - Appraise 2

“Hey, Seiya? How did you know Mash was coming?”

“I found this in Lagos’s pocket.”

A red jewel suddenly floats before my eyes. The invisible Hero is showing me a cracked red brooch.

“Use Appraise on it.”

“O-okay.”

The ability begins explaining the item to me.

“This is a notification brooch. They come as a pair: one blue and one red, but both are packed with mana. If you place a blue brooch on a map, it’ll give you a rough idea where the holder of the red brooch is. Then…”

The explanation isn’t over yet, but I suddenly hear Seiya’s voice near my ear.

“Mash thought Lagos was trying to rebel against him, so he must have been keeping Lagos under surveillance even after exiling him from Bahamutros.”

“It’s like a GPS tracker!”

“It’s even more complex than that. This notification brooch has another feature. When its owner dies, the blue brooch simultaneously cracks.”

“So this brooch sensed Lagos’s death and notified Mash?”

“Exactly. Of course, I didn’t know exactly who would come…but I predicted it could be Mash himself, since generals and high-level monsters have suddenly appeared before in the other high-ranking parallel worlds.”
