Emperor Qing's Relics, Fack Village.
Once they had settled into a corner, White Mitchell pulled out a lighter.
At the sight of the lighter, Lucy's eyes widened as if she'd seen something extraordinary. She quickly asked, "What is this thing?"
Uh…
White Mitchell froze for a moment, unsure of how to explain.
Normally, in the Forbidden Land, no one would use a lighter, as there were other alternatives like fire sticks.
However, the fire sticks here weren't ordinary ones.
These fire sticks were made with the fat of Spiritual Beasts. A single stick could basically last for three to four generations without worrying about running out of fuel.
In comparison, a lighter seemed somewhat unconventional.
Once its fuel was used up, it became just a decoration.
White Mitchell surely couldn't step out of the Forbidden Land just to refill his lighter—that would be ridiculous!
However, despite this, for Lucy, who had never seen a lighter before, it was undeniably a rare curiosity.
