The resonance stone did not light up for seventeen years, and Lin En worked as a handyman in the Gray Tower for four years. Everyone called him the String Breaker. But he could see the skeleton of the spell: in his eyes, the fire arrow technique demonstrated by Renne had twenty-seven threads. The seventh thread was crooked three times, and half of the spiritual power would leak out when it was closed.
On the day he was expelled from the Ash Tower, he walked into the Adventurer's Guild in Port of Ashes and posted a job. When others recite spells, he removes the stitches; when others spell magic, he changes the structure. From the old residual curse in the granary in the west of the city to the lock formation in the ruins of the underground empire, the deeper he dug, the more he discovered that there was more hidden in this city than anyone thought.
