The Ice Barrier in the center of the hall refracted a Prism-like Halo, and Leonard's face shattered into twelve cold smiles within the distorted ice crystals.
Aelia gripped her Scepter, adorned with Ice Blue Magic Crystals, her knuckles nearly piercing through the Aelia Pearl White silk gloves until the Iris Crest on the Third Step of the spiral staircase jabbed painfully at her heel.
"Mother!" The sound of a Wheelchair rolling over Peacock Stone Tiles came from the direction of the library.
As her elder brother's silver hair was lifted by the night wind, it revealed his left Earlobe, marred by a Crescent Scar—an aftermath of an attempt three years ago to repair the Magic Fortress Barrier using Shadow Magic, leaving behind a Backlash Mark.
Luna lay in Second Brother's arms, expelling a stream of Seven-Colored Milk Foam, two bubbles landing precisely on Aelia's Ear, where her Curse Mark resided.
When the pinkish-purple Milk Foam burst with a pop, Qin Si, holding Herbal Tea, suddenly conjured hexagonal Bing Hua, and steam rose to form an illusion of Leonard kissing Leonard's Concubine from Morian Manor.
"This is Calming Tea brewed with Evening Primrose." Brother San draped a Peacock Blue Shawl embroidered with Defensive Runes over Mother’s shoulders. The lingering scent of Magic Potion on his Fingertip caused the Guardian Tree potted in the corner to shoot up half a foot. "The Xi Tower burned nearly three hundred years' worth of manuscripts; the First Generation Notebook recorded the Contract Flaw..."
Aelia caressed Luna's Golden Hair, where a Starry Birthmark shimmered faintly, before thrusting her Scepter forcefully toward the Ground.
The Ice Barrier shattered in response, and the swirling Ice Shards formed a Magic Fortress Hologram in midair. Beneath the missing tower in the Northeast Corner, Morian Manor's Bionic Magic Circle resonated with the Guardian Tree seeds underground.
"Father planted the Contract Tree at his lover's feet?" Second Brother tore open his Neck Scarf embroidered with Thorn Patterns. A charm gifted by a close friend at his Collarbone suddenly oozed black mist. "No wonder my Thundercloud Magic has been failing at the manor's borders lately."
Luna suddenly waved her arms like an Oujie, striking at the Liu Su hanging from the Crystal Chandelier. With each chime, the chandelier cast Light Spots that formed a Remnant Page from the First Generation Fortress Lord's Journal on the wall.
The pale yellow Blue Blood Fern Juice glimmered as Tiny Inscriptions chronicled the fatal weakness of the Twinborn Pact—when both parties of the Contract bore Leonard's Family Crest under moonlight and Betrayal Blood, Leyline Magic would choose a new master.
"Xiao Luna means..." The Wheelchair Wheel of her elder brother crushed through gaps in Floor Tiles as Fallen Demon Roots emerged. His incomplete right hand traced a Shadow Rune in midair. "Since Father nourishes our family foundation within the Outer Chamber, why not let every Zhuan Shi in the Magic Castle know about Lord's scandal?"
Outside, Burning Chronicle Ashes suddenly coalesced into a storm, forming a massive Prophecy Text above Luna’s head.
Brother San’s Alchemical Pocket Watch at his Waist clicked open; its dial embedded with Magic Crystals reflected Leonard manipulating Elder of the Council with Puppet Thread in a terrifying scene titled Leonard's Last Night.
"But Morian sent roses mixed with Soul-Eating Pollen to Mother yesterday..." Qin Si lifted Aelia's Peacock Blue Shawl, revealing that the Curse Mark had spread into a tangle of Jasmine branches entwined with Thorns. "If this scandal goes public, those Dark Stake will surely take advantage..."
Luna suddenly burst into a laugh reminiscent of Yin Ling, her finger, stained with Milk, poking at Leonard within the ice crystal Projection.
The Star Sand Magic Circle on his chest began to rotate counterclockwise, and from the Ground where the seeds of the Contract Tree were buried, emerged Xu Ying, who had personally placed the Emblem ring on Aelia during her wedding twenty years ago.
The amulet of Second Brother cracked open with a "snap," dropping out a half-bloodied Council Emblem. "Last month, when I was attacked in the Northern Forest, the assailant had Iris Scent from the Morian Family hidden in their cloak."
The third call of the Night Owl pierced through the Stained Glass, and suddenly, a Bronze Statue of the First Generation Fortress Master rose from the ruins of the collapsed library.
Aelia pressed her Scepter against the Ancestral Teachings carved on the statue's Base, watching as the words "Honor and Shared Glory" melted into rolling Magic Script under the moonlight.
When Luna's eighteenth Milk Foam exploded into a Star Map on the statue's forehead, everyone could see the Warning formed by the reconfigured Magic Script—on the day when moonlight cleansed the Emblem, shadows imprisoned by the Contract would be reborn.
Brother San's Alchemical Pocket Watch suddenly spun wildly backward, revealing images of past mistresses of the Magic Castle on its face.
Aelia noticed that as the Pocket Watch passed by the image of a mistress who had self-immolated due to her husband's betrayal eighty years ago, golden vertical pupils flashed in Luna's eyes like those of a Reincarnated Archmage.
"Tomorrow is Lunar Eclipse Night." Aelia abruptly tore off the Pearl Necklace that was entwined around her neck with Curse Marks. The rolling pearls fell at the feet of the Bronze Statue, forming the shape of a Guardian Tree. "Qin Si, get the Puppet Theater in the east wing ready."
Luna bit her toes that glimmered with Xing Mang as she watched the last pearl roll into a gap between Floor Tiles.
She knew that when dawn arrived, that pearl would flow through the intricate underground waterways of the Magic Castle and drift into Morian Manor's Jasmin Manor Hot Spring Pool—where Dark Elf Remains slept at the bottom, capable of awakening Fallen Demon Roots.
Aelia's fingertip brushed over the searing Magic Script on the Bronze Statue as moonlight filtered through Xi Tower's shattered Dome, casting a flickering Light Spot on Luna's Starry Birthmark.
As Qin Si passed by with faded Puppet Theater curtains in hand, Brother San's Lucius' Alchemical Pocket Watch suddenly shot out seven Gold Needles, arranging them on a Velvet Blanket to form a blueprint of Morian Manor.
"Use Puppet Thread to stitch messages into the Wedding Canopy in the banquet hall." Aelia pressed the tip of her Scepter against Luna's Milk Foam. Within an Ice Blue Magic Crystal floated an illusion of a family ball from thirty years ago. "It was back then that he first slipped Forgetfulness Potion into my wine glass behind the Golden Cress curtains."
Luna suddenly grabbed the silver chain hanging from Second Brother, the Thundercloud Gem embedded in the Zhui Zi striking against the Wheelchair Armrest.
The crescent scar on Eldest Brother's left ear oozed a dark purple Light Mist, which condensed into the shape of a Messenger Night Owl, each feather shimmering with the Family Crest of the Elders of the Council.
"Use Fallen Demon Roots as ink!" Brother San crushed the leaves of the Guardian Tree in the Alchemical Mortar. The Verdant Juice boiled instantly upon contact with Eldest Brother's Shadow Messenger, and the rising steam outlined a complex web of interpersonal connections within the Dome, "Let every Secret Letter carry the scent of a Curse Mark."
As the last moonlight of Dawn seeped into the ruins of the East Tower, Luna's tenth Milk Foam exploded on the Puppet Silk Scroll held by Qin Si.
Within the Seven-Colored Halo, the Magic Pigeons raised at Morian Manor suddenly changed direction collectively, each Bird Claw tied with blood-stained leaves from the Contract Tree.
Leonard's furious Roar overturned the Crystal Chandelier in the secret chamber, and twelve Magic Mirrors simultaneously reflected his twisted visage.
When a third messenger pigeon shattered the Stained Glass and dropped a Secret Letter smeared with Luna's saliva at his feet, the Eyes of historical Lords' Images on the wall suddenly turned towards his chest where the Star Sand Magic Circle lay.
"Damn it!" He tore apart the Puppet Thread wrapped around his Neck and crushed the falling Secret Letter with Dark Red and Dark Purple Thread.
The fragments of Parchment reassembled in mid-air, forming an image of Morian holding a baby standing on a seed of the Contract Tree during Leonard's Last Night. The baby's Starry Birthmark was identical to Luna's.
Outside the secret chamber, waves of Magic Explosion Sound echoed as Leonard swung his staff to shatter the seventh Magic Mirror.
In that mirror, his self from Twenty Years Ago knelt on one knee; suddenly, his hand holding the Emblem ring turned to bone. As the ring rolled into an Earth Rift, it stirred a mournful cry from the Roots of the Guardian Tree.
The Hexagram Formation suspended in Magic Castle's Trial Grounds emitted a hum as Leonard's Sword Suddenly Emitted a Hum. Lucius stood atop the central Flame Totem, and an image of their matriarch who had self-immolated eighty years ago suddenly exuded frost from an Alchemical Pocket Watch.
He recalled when Luna had bitten into the Pocket Watch yesterday; her Milk Tooth had left a New Moon Indentation on its face—this was indeed key to breaking through the Fire Element trial.
"Third Young Master Lucius, be careful!" The surrounding witches cried out in alarm as they stepped back.
The Hellfire shot from the Trial Golem suddenly veered, crystallizing into a Black Rose upon touching the frost on Lucius's chest.
He flipped over the Pocket Watch, and Luna's lingering Milk Stain on the dial formed a miniature storm of Wind and Snow, freezing the entire Hexagram Formation into an Ice Crystal Throne.
The audience erupted in thunderous applause.
The Second Brother's Thundercloud Amulet sensed the shared magical power and automatically spun above Lucius's head, weaving a Lightning Crown.
The Shadow Rune on the Elder Brother's Wheelchair Armrest detached itself, transforming into a Black Dragon that coiled behind the throne.
"The Glorious Demon Fortress has a successor!" The Elders of the Council's Magic Transmission refracted through the ice crystals, casting a Seven-Colored Halo.
Lucius glanced at the viewing platform and noticed Luna drooling over Aelia's Pearl Necklace. The arrangement of those pearls perfectly matched the weak point behind the Trial Golem.
As Twilight descended, Leonard stood on the North Tower Observation Deck, his Fingertip wrapped in Puppet Thread seeping Blood Pearls.
He saw Iris Balloons sent by Morian floating on the terrace of the west wing, each balloon displaying mocking faces of the Elders of the Council.
Further away, in the Magic Fountain, the First Generation Fortress Lord Statue’s Holy Sword pointed toward his Underground Chamber where he hid the Outer Room Contract.
A Magic Totem interwoven with Ice and Fire suddenly rose from the direction of the Trial Grounds, and Lucius's Ice Crystal Throne refracted a Sevenfold Phantom in the twilight.
Leonard crushed an Ice Spike from the observation deck's railing; as those shards fell to the ground, they automatically formed into a bouquet shape reminiscent of Aelia's wedding flowers—the Puppet Silk Worm Egg hidden in Lily of the Valley was now writhing in his Palm, causing excruciating pain.
The Ice Spike fragments suspended in Leonard's Palm suddenly exploded, each piece reflecting tumultuous scenes from Magic Castle: Elders in Parliament Hall arguing with their robes billowing, linings embroidered with Family Crest flickering under magical candlelight; newly minted Mages on the Training Ground pointing at Lucius's Ice Crystal Throne, while Frost Flowers condensed in Stone Brick Gaps quietly altered the patterns of the Guardian Barrier.
"Father should trim the roses," he muttered as he crushed an Ice Spike, allowing the bloodied shards to fall into the center of the Magic Circle in the secret chamber.
The Dark Red Incantation crawled up all four walls along the Peacock Stone Tiles, dyeing the Eyes of past Lords' Images a puppet-thread-like crimson.
Aelia's Pearl Necklace shimmered under the East Tower Covered Bridge, with seven hundred twenty South Sea Pearls forming a reverse Curse Array amidst the Water Mist.
As Leonard's Puppet Thread attempted to penetrate the western chamber, a mirrored barrier emerged on the surface of the pearls, causing the blood-red Dark Purple Threads to retreat along their original path—three Ming Zhu burst apart, their fragments falling into the Fountain Pool and awakening the slumbering Contract Tree Seedling.
"Your Excellency, the Senate requests the resumption of the Bloodline Testing Ritual." The Shadow Guard knelt at the edge of the Magic Circle, frost suddenly seeping from the Jasmine Crest on his mask.
Behind him, a Parchment Scroll floated, where twelve Senator Signatures were slowly being devoured by some unseen force.
Leonard wrapped the blood-stained Puppet Thread around the Council Scroll, watching as Golden Silk Ink twisted into the Coordinates of Morian Manor under the strain of the Dark Purple Thread.
When he touched the yellowed Adoption Contract from the secret chamber Ankeli, the Dark Elf blood patterns along its edges suddenly came to life, crawling up his wrist along his fingers, forming a pattern reminiscent of an infant's Loud Cry on his skin.
The crystal chandelier in Parliament Hall's Dome abruptly extinguished, while Lucius's Ice Crystal Throne emitted a Moon White glow in the darkness.
The boy, unaware, turned the Alchemical Pocket Watch; surprisingly, the Image of the Self-Immolation Matriarch from eighty years ago began to fade. Meanwhile, in the New Moon Indentation created by Luna's bite, a greenish Blue Blood Fern Juice seeped out, sharing its origin with the Contract Tree Seedling.
"Tomorrow, send the moonstones produced in the Southern Region to Madam's Room," Leonard suddenly instructed a waiting maid, his fingertip gently brushing against the wall of the secret chamber.
Deep within a newly added scratch there lay half a blood-stained Infant Swaddling fragment, its stitching identical to that embroidered on Morian's Iris Handkerchief.
At that moment, Roots of the Guardian Tree pierced through the Dome of the secret chamber with a roar of Geomancy Zhen Chan.
Leonard gazed at the Xing Mang Light Spots floating on the surface of the Roots—arranged in a manner that perfectly matched Luna's doodle from last night made with Milk Foam on her Velvet Blanket.
