More or less," the Trade Group leader stroked his beard, a contemplative expression on his face, then spoke, "Actually, the Twelve Sacred Asha Staff we have in our possession is not the true form, but an essence emitted by the Twelve Sacred Asha Staff.

"Ha-ha… uh…" At this moment, a member of the Trade Group suddenly started laughing, only to become quite embarrassed when he realized that St. Rahatia and the others around were looking at him.
