Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 458

As Elvis spoke in a lowered voice, his expression grew solemn.

The audience, who had initially been impressed by his vast collection, now focused on the peculiarity of the situation. An entire room of swords rusting overnight was indeed an odd and rare occurrence.

"Some of these swords look pretty old. Maybe they weren't properly maintained?"

"I heard rust can spread. Could one sword have started rusting and infected the others?"

"Come on, do you think rust is a contagious disease? Didn't you see that each sword was placed in separate compartments?"

"Exactly. Someone wealthy enough to collect so many swords wouldn't skimp on maintenance."

Seeing the comments in the livestream, Elvis explained each problem. "I've always taken good care of my collection. I regularly hire professionals to come over and maintain them.

"For example, this Akranian scimitar is something I collected ten years ago, and it's always been in perfect condition.

"Some swords are indeed old, and some have minor rust due to age, but it's all within normal range. And no, rust doesn't spread like that."

With the situation mostly clarified, Elvis turned his attention back to the people in the livestream.

He initially didn't believe in mystic arts, but a friend recommended this program to him. He became convinced of Shannon's abilities after watching her demonstration, so he decided to ask for help online.

He was counting on Shannon, and seeing the episode featuring the mystic school made him even more hopeful.

On the other side of the livestream, Shannon seemed to have a sense of what was happening after hearing Elvis' explanation.

But instead of speaking right away, she turned to Skylar and asked, "Do you want to go first, or should I?" This was a question of who would start.

According to their agreement, whoever discovered the problem first and provided a solution would win the round.

He couldn't help but feel that Shannon's attempt to solve the case through a livestream was overly ambitious.

For a proper investigation, a practitioner of martial arts usually needed to be present at the scene to feel the negative energy or investigate the geomancy. How could anyone find the answer just by looking at a video?

Sure enough, Shannon requested Elvis to replay the footage.

Skylar silently shook his head, thinking she was simply feigning calmness.

Elvis complied and replayed the footage, this time at a slower speed.

The audience in the livestream eagerly watched the video again but still couldn't spot anything wrong. Their anxiety rose at noticing Skylar's growing skepticism.

Were both Skylar and Shannon going to fail this round?
