Galen knew that the Disc of Eight Trigrams had been carved out of a rotten piece of wood and that the so-called “array” before was Barnabus' own doing rather than the activation of the disc. Though Barnabus himself was perplexed, he had the crowd fooled.
“Hey, kid. Do you not believe me even though I said I saw it?” Boris finally spoke up after a long silence.
As the top mage of Zaprington, Boris' words carried weight—even Barnabus revered him!
“I only believe my own eyes!” Jared declared with a smirk.
“Well then, I have no choice but to convince you! See for yourself if this is just rotted wood.”
As he spoke, Boris held the Disc of Eight Trigrams in one hand, and with the other, he made a swift gesture to activate the disc. Under the spectator's curious gazes, something peculiar happened. The Array of Eight Trigrams materialized above the disc, glinting and spinning in midair.
With a loud bellow from Boris, the array exploded into pieces, and the rays of light converged to form a
charm.
The brilliant light cast a sheen of gold in the room, causing the occupants to squint from the unexpected brightness.
Soon, the golden light dimmed, and the Disc of Eight Trigrams reverted to its original state.
The crowd was still reeling back from shock. They gaped at the disc, their eyes bulging out of their sockets in disbelief.
“Mr. Yonce truly deserves the title of the best mage in Zaprington! I'm humbled to be in your presence,” Barnabus praised. His voice oozed envy and admiration for Boris.
“This talisman is awesome! If not for Mr. Yonce, this treasure would have been buried and forgotten!”
“I've never seen a talisman so powerful in my life!”
“Now that I know what it’s capable of, I'll spend my life's fortune to purchase it!”
