As the morning mist had yet to dissipate, Luna was drawing crooked runes on the parchment with her fingers stained by milk.
Her elder brother's trembling fingertip barely touched the ink blot when the amethyst embedded in the wheelchair armrest suddenly erupted in a burst of seven-colored light. Seventeen backlash curses transformed into black snakes that surged from his spine, only to be completely shredded by Brother San's Thunderlight Barrier, which had been waiting for this moment.
"It turns out that breaking the curse requires the simultaneous use of Astrology and the Elemental Reversal Formula." Supporting himself on the golden handrail, her brother slowly stood up, the hem of his robe embroidered with Ice Bloom fluttering as if stirred by an unseen wind. Gasps echoed from the stands of the competition arena—this mage, who had been silent for a decade, had unexpectedly used an improved version of Frost Storm to freeze his opponent along with half of the arena into crystal sculptures during the third round of the revival match.
Luna waved her rattle in the VIP section, laughing heartily while her left hand, hidden in swaddling cloth, quietly crushed the secret pattern imprinted from the prophecy stone.
When the referee announced that her brother had won three consecutive championships, cheers erupted from the audience, startling twelve bronze griffins into flight. No one noticed that the lining of the Champion's Cloak flashed with a laurel pattern that shared its origin with Luna.
At this moment, in the spa room of West Tower, where a bitter orange blossom fragrance lingered, Qin Si was pressing a carved silver mirror into a velvet soft cushion.
The entangled figures in the mirror caused Aelia's Frost Snow Necklace around her neck to tighten suddenly. An ice spike pierced her collarbone, causing a blood pearl to drop onto the mirror's surface, conveniently obscuring an outsider woman's tear mole that resembled that of an old acquaintance.
"Madam, be careful; it's hot." Qin Si pretended to accidentally spill rose tea. In the mist rising from it, a wedding oath scroll from twenty years ago emerged from the fireplace—back then, Leonard had guaranteed "Eternal Loyalty" with a magic contract. Now it twisted into a mocking grimace in the direction of the outer chamber.
Aelia crushed her crystal cup, slicing her palm; blood dripped onto the ground, forming an ice crystal path pointing toward the Library of Hidden Books.
When she kicked open the secret door, her husband was futilely trying to patch up a vow that had been burned through by backlash curses on a charred parchment. Among the ashes lay half a handkerchief embroidered with violets.
"It was merely necessary theatrics for a political marriage." Leonard waved his sleeve and shattered an evidence chain formed from ice crystals but forgot that his wife's bloodline inherited from the Northern Witch could expose lies under moonlight.
Aelia tore off her necklace and threw it into the air; three hundred sixty-five ice pearls transformed into memory fragments that illuminated every detail of secret letters exchanged with the outer chamber over these years.
At that moment, Luna's loud cry pierced through the barrier, stirring up a backlash from the magic contract that created shockwaves.
The teleportation spell hidden in Leonard's sleeve was frozen by frost. As he staggered back, he knocked over a fate chart recording details about Ailya's birthday rune from children in the outer chamber; its bronze pointer wildly pointed toward Luna's nursery.
As twilight painted red upon the spire of the magic castle, maidens discovered that all of Madam's favorite ice crystal roses had turned into poisonous black obsidian.
The night-watching owl returned with a stench of blood from the direction of the outer chamber. Meanwhile, Luna found an unfamiliar gilded tome beside her pillow; on its opened page was an illustration of a dragon pierced by a sword and a shattered crown.
As I held my silver-edged magic tome while passing through the corridor, all at once, light sprites on the crystal chandelier turned collectively toward Luna's nursery.
Twelve rays of moonlight pierced through the Colorful Dome, intertwining above Luna's Ivory Cradle to form a Rotating Star Map.
"The young lady has drawn a new toy," the Nursemaid trembled as she held up the Gold Foil Paper, soaked in moonlight, its twisted patterns absorbing the starlight from outside.
I recognized it as the Star Trail Spell recorded in the Forbidden Techniques Compendium—an ancient formation that should have been drawn with Dragon Blood, now being gnawed upon by the baby's Milk Tooth, leaving behind delicate Tooth Marks.
Suddenly, a sound of shattering Crystal Vessel echoed from the banquet hall.
Twenty-seven Magic Hourglasses exploded simultaneously, the Pointer on the Liujin dial spinning wildly in reverse, freezing the Residual Shadows of servants holding trays of exquisite fruits against the murals of the Emerald Corridor.
I tightened my grip on the Transmitting Shell at my Neck, hearing the long-suppressed gasp of the Steward: "The Lord has replaced the Family Crest on the East Tower with a violet pattern!"
Luna waved her starry little hand, and the gold-foil talisman suddenly floated into the air.
In the middle of the runes, a Magic Fortress Hologram appeared, and the dark room in the Northwest Corner flickered with an eerie Purple Light—that was Leonard's newly established "Library of Hidden Books Restoration" just last month.
"This is no ordinary manifestation talisman!" The Second Brother rushed in, knocking over a Gilded Candelabra. The Starshine Detector in his hand was beeping wildly. "The talisman contains Moonstone powder; it can penetrate a level ten counter-surveillance barrier!"
The talisman suddenly split into seven shards of light, one of which drifted towards the Laurel Pattern on my elder brother's Wheelchair Armrest.
As the shard merged with Luna's Shan Na, my brother's Frost Staff, resting on his knee, erupted with Longyin. From the Sapphire at its Staff Tip emerged an image of the First Lord of the Magic Fortress casting a Forbidden Technique.
When Leonard arrived, his cloak still carried the Sulfur Smell from the Black Market Trading Venue.
Just as he reached for the talisman with his Scepter in hand, Aelia's Ice Crystal Necklace at her Neck suddenly shot out a Protective Barrier—the Guardian Sigil planted on their wedding night Seventeen Years Ago now enveloping Luna's Cradle in Hexagonal Ice Crystals.
"Doesn't Father find this rune familiar?" Brother San suddenly pointed to the Serpent Pattern at the edge of the talisman. "It's identical to that wax seal on your Secret Letter in your Study Room Secret Compartment."
Leonard's Pupil dilated sharply.
He secretly crushed a Communication Crystal hidden in his sleeve but failed to notice that Luna's Milk Foam was sticking to the back of the talisman, quietly imprinting a mysterious Coordinate onto Qin Si's silver Amethyst Hairpin.
As the clock tower chimed midnight, the floating talisman suddenly transformed into Liuguang and pierced through the Dome.
The air above the Magic Castle shimmered with ripples as the positions of the Twenty-Eight Constellations underwent subtle shifts.
I held Luna, who had suddenly cried out loudly, retreating behind a stone pillar. I noticed her newly emerging Laurel Pattern absorbing the energy of Xing Hui.
"Look at the ground!" Second Brother exclaimed, as moonlight cast the outline of the Magic Castle Underground Altar onto the Marble Tile.
The Star Chart Device, sealed for three hundred years, began to turn on its own, and the shape of the groove at the altar's center perfectly matched the gap in the spell that Luna had been gnawing at during the day.
Leonard suddenly snatched the Chief Guard's reconnaissance Lens. When he saw that the residual energy from the spell was tracking directly towards the Outer Chamber, the Amethyst atop his Scepter suddenly shattered.
Countless Light Shards formed a Warning Text in midair, revealing the most lethal clause from the Twenty Years Ago Marriage Oath Contract—"The betrayer shall forever lose Xing Hui's protection."
Moonlight wound like a river across the Gilded Floor Tiles, and the suspended Star Trail Spell suddenly split into three beams of Liuguang.
Eldest Brother's Wheelchair Armrest's Laurel Pattern, Second Brother's Neck element Starshine Detector crystal core, and Brother San's Thunderlight Barrier's Dark Pattern all lit up simultaneously. Three eager gazes pierced through the air like arrows, striking against the golden foil of Zhen Chan.
"Perhaps we can repair the Magic Circuit," Eldest Brother said, lightly tapping his still aching knee. The Ice Cactus Robe revealed a glimpse of white bone—an imprint left by a backlash curse from ten years ago.
The Star Chart Device hidden in his sleeve was spinning wildly, its Pointer aimed directly at the Dragon Language inscriptions in the core of the spell.
Second Brother's Starshine Detector emitted a piercing shriek. He stumbled against a Gilded Column, and from his forehead, where his dear friend had planted a Tracking Curse Mark, Hei Xue seeped out.
When my Fingertip touched the rippling energy released by the spell, my Pupil behind the Lens suddenly constricted. "These Star Trails lead to... are derived from the same source as the black market Contract Patterns that framed me!"
The most restless among us was Brother San.
The Electric Snake swirling within his Thunderlight Barrier suddenly went out of control, projecting an illusion of thirty years ago’s Magic Talent Assessment onto the Dome—showing an Error spectrum on the detection crystal that had led him astray into dark magic for two decades.
At this moment, the Serpent Pattern at the edge of the spell perfectly overlapped with the altered Detection Report from back then.
"Mother should use this to reforged the Defensive Barrier." Lucius suddenly interjected, his silver Jian Qiao precisely cutting off Leonard’s secretly released absorption spell.
The usually silent Third Young Master Lucius held his Fingertip encased in frost; it was Aelia’s life-saving magic that she had delivered to him when he fell gravely ill at ten years old.
Leonard's Scepter struck heavily against the ground, shattering the writhing vines beneath the marble tiles. "Unfilial Son, do you know the energy level of this talisman?" His cloak's violet Dark Pattern suddenly came to life, petals transforming into poisonous needles that shot toward the floating gold leaf—only to be melted into Silver Essence upon contact with the talisman.
Aelia's Frost Snow Necklace erupted with Hexagonal Ice Crystals, freezing everyone in the struggle in place.
Her blood-stained Palm hovered three inches above the talisman as she gazed at her trembling reflection on the gold leaf. "This item requires the sacred box of the Lunar Altar for sealing." But just as she was about to touch the talisman, Luna let out a heart-wrenching Loud Cry.
"Miss Luna is bleeding!" The Nursemaid retreated in terror.
Luna's Ear, adorned with a Laurel Pattern, was transforming Xing Hui into Blood Pearls, which dripped down to form a miniature altar on the Ground.
Suddenly, the fragmented pieces of the talisman returned to their original positions like magnets, forming a rotating Star Ring around the infant, automatically completing the missing Ancient Inscriptions.
Eldest Brother's Star Chart Device flew from his hand, the sound of interlocking gears turning into an Aging chant: "By the power of Monday, Bloodline as a guide..." His incomplete Magic Circuit suddenly connected, and ice crystals erupted from his Fingertip, ten times purer than during the Competition.
Second Brother's black Blood Curse on his Neck steamed within Xing Hui, revealing corroded Contract Patterns beneath.
Brother San's Thunderlight Barrier automatically upgraded to Dark Golden, mistakenly repairing twenty years' worth of Magic Source that was being reshaped.
Lucius's Jian Qiao was covered in Ice Blooms, a sign of Aelia's Magical Resonance.
He stepped forward to block Leonard's sinister gaze but failed to notice his shadow being cast in the shape of Dragon Wings by the talisman.
Atop Leonard's Staff, an Amethyst began to coalesce again, and the Fate Chart Projection of Outer Chamber Children gradually blurred.
"Enough!" Aelia snapped as she broke three strands of her Frost Snow Necklace; Ice Pearls formed a triple seal around the talisman.
But when she saw the First Generation Fortress Lord Emblem floating within Luna, her sealing action hesitated—this was precisely the totem torn from the Wedding Oath Scroll.
At that moment, the Star Map emerging on the back of the talisman resonated with the Carved Silver Mirror in West Tower's Spa Room.
Qin Si's silver hairpin hidden in her Hair Bun suddenly heated up, projecting mysterious Coordinates onto her Pupil as a Holographic Map.
Meanwhile, far away at the Black Market Trading Venue, a Spy’s Waist Communication Crystal—sharing a source with Leonard—suddenly glowed with a blood-red light.
The night wind wrapped around the owl, sobbing as it swept through the Emerald Corridor, extinguishing all twelve Magic Torches simultaneously.
The floating talismans suddenly converged, pulling Xing Hui down into Luna's Cradle. Yet, upon touching the Silk Satin of Shan Na, the entire Ivory Cradle transformed into a Xu Ying formed from moonlight.
The remnants of the Star Trail Spell enveloped the Dome like a Spider Web, and three beams of Liuguang emitted a piercing metallic Tremor under the tugging of everyone's Fingertips.
Suddenly, the Amethyst of Big Brother's Wheelchair Armrest shattered, and the splintered fragments coalesced in midair into an array of ice spikes—this was the "Frostflower Barrier" talent he had lost ten years ago in a Magic Backlash, now unexpectedly awakened by the stimulation of talisman energy.
"Don't touch the core patterns!" Second Brother's Starshine Detector suddenly adhered to the edge of gold foil, its Lens reflecting the bulging Contract Vein on his neck.
The Tracking Curse Mark planted by a black market friend years ago twisted and disintegrated under the purification of the talisman. He trembled as he tore open his shirt collar, revealing a Curse Worm writhing beneath his skin, transforming into Qing Yan in the starlight: "So the Key to breaking the Contract is the reverse-phase Star Trail..."
The balance of contention collapsed amidst Brother San's uncontrollable Thunderstorm.
His misguided dark magic from Twenty Years was forcibly reversed by the talisman, and the rampaging Electric Snake shattered the Marble Tile into a rain of fragments.
Lucius swiftly opened an Ice Bloom barrier but saw Brother San's Bloodshot eyes suddenly regain clarity—those tampered Magic Talent Assessment data were projected from the talisman, burning to Ashes in Lei Guang.
Leonard's Scepter abruptly plunged into the fray, violet toxic mist morphing into Xu Ying that rushed towards the talisman from the Outer Chamber's Children.
Aelia's Frost Snow Necklace activated Bing Ling even faster, as Hexagonal Ice Crystals precisely froze three Fate Chart crystals at the core of the toxic mist.
The black Obsidian Ground suddenly reflected a bizarre scene from Leonard's Last Night: within the Outer Chamber's Study Room Secret Compartment, a swaddled infant adorned with matching violet patterns absorbed moonlight power that rightfully belonged to Luna.
"Father is even transferring Xing Hui's protection?" Lucius's Silver Sword suddenly changed direction, its hilt embedded with a Wedding Oath Ice Crystal reflecting Fate Chart Projection.
The Dragon Wing form at the edge of his shadow became increasingly clear under the illumination of the talisman; surprisingly, the track swept by his sword matched perfectly with the missing Dragon Language patterns of the talisman.
The talisman suddenly erupted with Black Radiance akin to a Lunar Eclipse, knocking everyone back three steps.
Luna's Loud Cry transformed into tangible Sound Waves; a Rattle flew out from the Cradle and collided with the back of the talisman—its drum face depicting Luna's Doodle unexpectedly completed the missing Jiao Su position of Star Trail.
The fragmented spell shards reassembled around the infant, forming a suspended three-dimensional Star Map, while the sound of gears turning in the Magic Castle Underground Altar echoed clearly through three layers of granite.
Leonard's Scepter suddenly became covered in Ice Cracks, and the Fate Chart Projection towards the Outer Chamber completely dissipated under everyone's gaze.
As he staggered against the Gilded Column, Aelia's ice crystals had already frozen the pouch within his cloak—revealing a blood-stained Secret Letter, with the Fire Seal being the Serpent Emblem previously identified by Brother San.
"Mother, look at the Ground!" Lucius suddenly shouted.
Moonlight filtered through the Star Map, casting moving Light Spots on the Ground, which formed a Warning from the First Generation Fortress Lord's Journal Remnant Page: "On Monday, the violet will weep blood at the Oathbound Coffin."
Before Leonard could explain, a Roar from the West Tower signaled a sudden building collapse.
The Coordinate of Qin Si's Amethyst Hairpin Projection manifested on the wall, indicating the location of the Black Market Merchant's secret chamber where counterfeit spells were made.
Aelia cast one last glance at the Wedding Oath Totem spinning within the spell before scooping up Luna and heading straight toward the source of the explosion, leaving Leonard gripping his Scepter tightly as he stared at the scattered Fate Chart Ashes.
As the twelve Magic Torches reignited, everyone realized that their respective magical artifacts bore incomplete Laurel Patterns—while at the tip of Leonard's Staff, the Amethyst that had reformed no longer reflected the outline of the Outer Chamber courtyard.
