The Strange Cecilia

Everyone trusted Bard, the roaming god of the Star Realm, immensely.

Since he was willing to vouch with his name, it meant that the blurred footage was not encrypted by him; instead, it was the effect of some other supernatural force acting in secret, obscuring the object in Cecilia Nightblade's hand from their view.

Bard continued to play the retrospective footage.

Nobody dwelled on the issue of the mosaic any longer and continued watching.

...

In the retrospective footage, the village chief examined the object in Cecilia Nightblade's hand for quite some time.

However, it was clear that he also couldn't figure out what exactly it was at first glance.

"May I ask... Your Excellency Cecilia, what is this object?" the village chief inquired.

"Think again, as her avatar, you should know," Cecilia Nightblade said emotionlessly, waving the "mosaic" in her hand at the village chief once more.
