"Additionally, during the subsequent investigation, the security team discovered another odd occurrence. On the day of the disaster, nine wizards in the town had their minds inexplicably shattered; five of them have been confirmed dead, and the remaining four have suffered severe brain damage, hardly different from being dead," Orlando continued to report.
"After searching the residences of these wizards, the security team found some books on Spiritual Magic, and this item…"
Orlando pulled out a small box and placed it in front of Lynn, inside were nine ring-like items.
"Each of them carried one of these. From the runes on them, they might have been used for some form of magical communication, but the spells on them have long since failed, making further tracking impossible."
