I preferred it as a ring because it was described as having 8 holes inside it. I always thought this allowed for him to find gems to go in these discrete settings to power up the artifact. Also since the external surface looks so average it could go unnoticed by greedy strangers ...
The loach pendant is truly magical before the oldman dies it was a black ring, then it magically transformed to a round pendant now it turned to fish shaped pendant. It is evolving perhaps two chapters later it will become a penis shaped dildo. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, so if some "Elder" poo** in your face you should say nothing and do nothing except lick the "Elder's" butt clean. And if you don't, everyone around you will punish you. Wow, what a great society.
