The crisp sound of ice crystals shattering echoed in the Assembly Hall as Aelia threaded silver embroidery floss through Peacock Blue Velvet.
Qin Si's hand, holding a crystal tray, suddenly trembled, and the petals of the Purple Moon Roland floated in the tea, seeping with an eerie Dark Pattern.
"Madam, do you smell that fragrance wafting from the Magic Potion Workshop?" The Head Maid's skirt swept over the fireplace, stirring up sparks. "The new Alchemist who joined last month said that mixing Purple Moon Roland with Dragon Blood Sand is perfect for a Shadow Mage's constitution."
Luna lay in her Cradle, desperately kicking against the swaddling embroidered with the Star Moon Pattern, her Emerald Eyes reflecting the patterns of the Dome Magic Circle.
As Qin Si wiped the milk stain from her mouth for the third time, the baby suddenly grabbed the maid's Moonstone Earrings, biting down hard on the gem with her toothless gums.
"Oh my Young Miss!" Just as Qin Si was about to pry open the baby's hand, she noticed twisted runes emerging on the surface of the Moonstone—remnants of Dark Magic's Tracking Mark, now illuminating the entangled figures in the castle's West Wing Attic.
When Aelia finished stitching the last Defensive Rune, the Peacock Blue on her embroidery frame suddenly faded to a ghastly white.
She looked at the Moonstone that Qin Si had brought, her knuckles turning pale from gripping it too tightly.
In the Dark Pattern Crystal Mirror, Leonard's Mistress bore a Flame Tattoo on her neck, unmistakably a totem of the Black Wizard Family that she had personally eradicated fifteen years ago.
"Go fetch my Astrolabe from the seventh layer of Ankeli on the Stargazing Platform." Aelia snapped her thread, silver strands cutting into her wrist and drawing blood. "And tell Third Young Master Lucius that what he buried in the rose garden last year needs to see some sunlight."
When Lucius burst into the study with a root of Purple Moon Roland stained with dirt, Aelia was using an Ice Blade to slice open the Starry Cloak her husband had gifted her.
Dark Purple Flower Juice dripped from the silver dissection knife, etching outlines of Curse Runes onto the Parchment.
What she had once thought was a thoughtful gift of Calming Flower Tea from her husband was now boiling in a Silver Cauldron, bubbling with a Stench.
"Mother..." The Second Son suddenly kicked open the Golden Oak Door, his Astrolabe Pointer in hand wildly pointing towards the Castle Cellar. "Do you remember Father saying he wanted to find an appropriate Dragonbone Wheelchair for Elder Brother last year?
I discovered thirty-seven frozen dragon corpses down there."
Luna's Loud Cry suddenly generated a Magic Resonance in the corridor, causing the entire castle's Defensive Array to awaken like a golden python, coiling around and tearing open the hidden door to the library.
Brother San pulled out the Gilded Tome from the collapsed Zhuan Shi. The cover prominently displayed the title "Black Witchcraft Bloodline Restriction Decryption Record," and the title page bore Leonard's signature congratulating him on his twelfth birthday.
"It turns out Father knew the method to break the curse all along." The boy's fingertip ignited with Azure Blue Flame, consuming the Grimoire. The Fire Tongue licked at the hypocritical smile of the man in the Family Portrait on the wall. "Big Brother's leg... it shouldn't have been ruined."
Aelia staggered as she leaned against the Ice Crystal Pillar, memories of her twenty years of marriage peeling away in her Mind Sea.
She recalled how her husband would drape a cloak over her before each celebration, remembered how their Eldest Son had been stained with Dragon Blood Sand that night of the Magic Backlash when Leonard’s cuff had brushed against it, and thought of their Second Son, whose protective talisman had malfunctioned when deceived by a close friend—every warm illusion wrapped in a toxic Sugar Coating.
"Mother, be careful!" Qin Si suddenly lunged forward to push her aside as a Shadow Arrow pierced through the maid’s shoulder blade.
Surrounding Leonard was a swirling black mist filled with dozens of skeletal phantoms, remnants of the Heirs of past Magic Castles he had consumed.
Luna suddenly let out a high-pitched Loud Cry, and the Ice Magic erupting from the infant resonated with the Castle Defense Array.
As the Dome fell, dawn pierced through a century of gloom. Aelia's wrist space bracelet sensed an Earth Vein Tremor, and seventy percent of the magic Subordinate Mine's land deed automatically formed a Protective Barrier.
When the Horse-drawn Carriage rolled over the ruins of the castle, Aelia draped her blood-stained cloak over the sleeping Qin Si.
The Eldest Son suddenly pressed on an old injury on his left leg, where a Dark Curse from a decade-old "accident" lay sealed.
Ashes from Purple Moon Roland drifted in through the carriage window, reminiscent of when he was forced to halt his magical advancement, and fragments of a Forbidden Spell Scroll had exploded on the altar.
The Horse-drawn Carriage bumped over the last stone slab engraved with the Magic Castle Emblem, causing Aelia's Astrolabe at her knee to suddenly crack with Ice Cracks.
The Eldest Son's fingertip absentmindedly traced his Left Leg's Old Scar, where the sealed Dark Curse began to stir—ten years ago when Leonard had taken him to hunt a Frost Dragon, what should have been a Holy Light Shield turned into a devouring array due to a reversal in its Magic Circle.
"Big Brother, look!" Brother San suddenly lifted the carriage curtain. The remnants of Azure Blue Flame on the boy’s fingertip illuminated a distant valley.
Thirty-seven ice pillars shot up into the sky, each containing dragon clan Shu Tong that were meant for healing their Eldest Son's Twin Legs. Those precious materials now reflected Leonard's carefully woven lies over twenty years.
Aelia's wrist Protective Barrier suddenly trembled as fragments of her broken Starry Cloak automatically reassembled into a magical map.
In the Mineral Vein Deed transformed into Liuguang, Luna Chubby suddenly pressed down on the Light Spot representing the Heisonglin Mine Area, and a vague sound emerged from the baby's throat: "Ka... Dragon..."
The Eldest Son shuddered.
The dying roar of the Frost Dragon from ten years ago overlapped with this moment; he clearly remembered the hand of his Father pressing on his shoulder—this was not a gesture of comfort, but rather a conduit for the shadow curse that was infused into his Meridian.
The young man Pale's knuckles dug deeply into the Wheelchair Armrest, as the once-affected Meridian surged with searing magic due to the Magic Backlash. The damaged Wheelchair Armrest even crystallized with ice.
"Mother, please push me into the moonlight." The Eldest Son's voice was as hoarse as if it had been burned by Long Flame. As he removed his gloves, his right hand emerged adorned with Frost Patterns—this was the Ice Element Grand Sorcerer's Heritage Mark that had been forcibly interrupted back then, now reappearing as the curse loosened.
Aelia trembled as she opened the skylight of the carriage.
When the cool Yue Hui enveloped the Eldest Son's body, the Ice Layer covering his Twin Legs suddenly shattered, revealing a Dark Purple Spell surging beneath his skin.
Brother San abruptly pressed a half-burned Grimoire Remnant Page against the Curse, and the counter-spell array of Black Witchcraft collided with Ice Magic, creating dazzling Xing Huo.
"So Father had long plotted my Birthday Gift." Brother San's regret transformed into flames surging from his Fingertip, completely incinerating the Grimoire. "He deliberately misled me with the Black Witchcraft Bloodline Restriction Decryption Record, making me believe that my Fire Element talent had flaws..."
The Second Son suddenly tore open his collar, revealing an unhealed Magic Brand beneath his Collarbone.
Three Months Ago, when his close friend had stabbed him with a poisoned dagger here, the Defensive Formation on his talisman had just failed—at this moment, the Astrolabe at his Waist automatically disassembled and reformed, exposing its core runes that had been tampered with.
"The Rite of Passage Mother gave me back then had one-third of its Stardust replaced." The Second Son crushed the Astrolabe Remains into powder; Dark Golden Sandy Gravel formed a new Astrological Compass in his Palm. "These fakes mixed with Dragon Blood Sand are enough to turn any Defensive Formation into a deadly curse."
Luna suddenly giggled, her Baby Fat little hands patting against the carriage wall.
The Magic Patterns reflected in her Emerald Eyes perfectly matched Brother San's reassembling Fire Element array.
Aelia suddenly recalled something and took out a long-sealed Pocket Watch from her spatial bracelet—the Frost Dragon totem engraved on its back was resonating with the Curse on Eldest Son's leg.
"Go to Black Pine Forest." Aelia lifted Luna into the moonlight; the Purple Moon Roland adorning her hair suddenly bloomed. "There lies your Grandfather's Inheritance Altar."
As the Horse-drawn Carriage rushed into the atmosphere filled with the essence of the Dragon Crystal Mine, the Star Powder in the Second Son's arms suddenly floated into a Star Map.
The positions of the seven Main Stars matched perfectly with the starry sky from the night he awakened his Magical Talent twenty years ago. At that time, Father had told him, "Your Stellar Trajectory is destined to accompany the dark night."
"All lies!" The Second Son suddenly bit his Fingertip, and a Blood Pearl fell into the Astrological Compass, igniting a silver Magic Radiance.
The Magic Circuit that had been destroyed by a close friend was reignited within his Meridian. His fragmented Astrology began to resonate with the Dragon Crystal Mine in Geomancy.
Brother San suddenly jumped down from the Horse-drawn Carriage, and the flames ignited in the young man's Palm were no longer a dim blue but danced with pure Jin Hong.
For twelve years, he had been deliberately misled by Leonard, and the Flame Dragon Bloodline he was meant to inherit had remained suppressed—until Luna, in a jolt, tore away his talisman. The Jade Pendant embedded with Ice Crystal exploded with a thunderous crash.
"So this is what Father gave me as Demon Binding Shackles." The young man gazed at the Ice Crystal vaporizing in the flames, finally seeing the truth of how his talent had been distorted.
He turned and ran deeper into the Subordinate Mine, each step leaving a Burning Footprint on the Moss. The Flame Lizard Egg sleeping among the Songlin began to tremble.
Aelia was about to chase after him when Luna grabbed her Sleeve.
The infant suddenly pressed a finger stained with Milk Stain against her Mei Xin, unlocking a sealed memory—a scene from twenty years ago on their wedding night, where Leonard had fed her Heavenly Wedding Wine that contained traces of Purple Moon Roland Powder.
"Madam, be careful!" Qin Si's weak cry came from behind.
The wound on the maid's Shoulder Blade was still bleeding, but she tightly clutched a Magic Scroll snatched from the ruins of the castle.
As the residual black mist of Shadow Arrow attempted to invade the carriage, the scroll automatically unfurled into a Purification Array, revealing Leonard's forged Family Crest at its edges.
The Eldest Son suddenly pushed his Wheelchair to the edge of a cliff.
Below, the surging Dragon Crystal Vein glimmered like a flowing galaxy under the moonlight. His incomplete Twin Legs soaked in the magic emanating from the Subordinate Mine, and pieces of Curse began to peel away from beneath his skin.
As the first trace of Frost Magic surged back into his Meridian, the young man grabbed a broken Pine Branch nearby and drew a complete Ice Spell Pattern in midair.
"Mother, please bring me the Rite of Passage that Father sent." The voice of the Eldest Son was no longer weak; the ice crystals forming between his fingers were reorganizing the nerves in his legs. "That scepter embedded with Dragon Blood Sand—it's time for it to return to its rightful owner."
Suddenly, a roar from the Dragon Crystal Vein echoed from below the cliff, and Brother San, enveloped in Jin Hong flames, leaped out from a fissure in the ground.
In his arms, the boy held a Crimson Dragon Crystal Core, and every ice crack pulsed with the power of the Flame Dragon Bloodline.
When his flames touched the ice crystals created by the Eldest Son, they fused into a dazzling purple Golden Radiance.
The Second Son stood at the highest point of Songlin, where Stardust automatically formed an Astrological Array beneath his feet.
The Magic Source, once destroyed by a close friend, was now being reborn. The Astrological Compass in his hand suddenly pointed all toward the north—that was the last stronghold of the Black Wizard Family before its downfall.
Luna suddenly struggled to climb out of her Cradle, her Emerald Pupils reflecting a certain rock deep within Songlin.
When Aelia held her close, the baby's drool left an imprint on the moss-covered stone tablet, revealing the Inheritance Cipher sealed here by the First Generation Fortress Master.
Qin Si strained to lay a bloodstained cloak before the tablet; the dark brown Bloodstain merged with Secret Script to form the Key that would unlock the Crypt.
At that moment when the moonlight shifted, Lucius's figure appeared on a ridge a hundred meters away.
Beneath his robe, the Young Mage's Secret Silver Chain glimmered faintly—it was from the Alchemical Materials Luna had deliberately knocked over seven days ago, now resonating magically with something he held in his arms...
Lucius paused deep within Songlin as the Secret Silver Chain slipped from his sleeve with a clear chime reminiscent of Qing Yue.
The tremors from deep within Geomancy reminded him of that afternoon seven days ago—when Luna had knocked over the Alchemical Materials, a rolling Star Pattern Steel Ball had just shattered the core of the Secret Silver Shackles that bound his magic.
"Third Young Master Lucius!" A servant suddenly pointed at the Mineral Vein Rift in shock.
Beneath the melted Rock Layer from Flame Dragon Bloodline, half of a stone tablet engraved with the First Generation Fortress Lord Emblem was seeping Pale Golden Liquid.
As Lucius leaned down to touch, the Secret Silver Chain suddenly disintegrated into hundreds of runes, resonating with the seal on the stone tablet.
At that moment, when the dark door of the Castle Cellar burst open, Leonard was embedding the last piece of Long Jing into the Communication Array.
The crystal ball reflected unusual movements in the direction of Songlin. He froze mid-motion, wiping the sweat from his brow—an Ice Crystal Pillar emerged, revealing Aelia's phantom, her cold gaze unlike anything he had ever seen.
"Master, the Defensive Formation in the West Wing Attic..." The butler's words were cut short as a black mist serpent suddenly shot out from Leonard's sleeve.
The Shadow Serpent coiled around the Purple Moon Roland Teapot on the desk but was scorched to Qing Yan upon touching the handle adorned with Liujin Floral Pattern.
"Inform the Alchemy Workshop to replace tonight's Calming Tea with Edelweiss." Leonard crushed the cold sweat seeping from his palm; the Obsidian Ring glimmered ominously in the candlelight, a dark red hue. "Also, dig up the box that Third Young Master buried in the rose garden last year."
As Aelia's Silver Silk Boots shattered the threshold of the study, all the magical lights in the castle abruptly extinguished.
Her wrist's Protective Barrier automatically expanded into a Light Barrier, illuminating half of her husband's face hidden in shadows—his scar, which she had kissed countless times, was now crawling with tiny Shadow Worms.
"My dear, you don't look well." Leonard raised his hand to light the Wall Lamp, his movements as graceful as ever. However, the Dark Purple Flame flickering between his fingers emitted an eerie bluish-purple glow. "Is Luna causing a fuss again about wanting to hear the Long Crystal Wind Bell?"
The sound of the Eldest Son's Wheelchair rolling over the cracks in the Peacock Stone Tiles echoed unexpectedly.
The young man's pale fingers pressed against the Ashes of the Black Witchcraft Bloodline Restriction Decryption Record, ice crystals forming sharp Prisms around him. "Father, have you ever seen a Curse Scroll soaked in Frost Dragon Bone Marrow? It's just like that one you gave me from the Adult Gift Box hidden within."
Leonard's pupils constricted at Shan Na's words as Aelia suddenly flung out a fragment of her Starry Cloak.
The fabric stained with Dark Purple Flower Juice twisted in the Magic Flame, revealing remnants of Purple Moon Roland Flower Powder that had not burned away from Twenty Years Ago's Heavenly Wedding Wine.
"Why did you marry me?" Aelia's voice sliced through like a tempered blade across Ice Surface. "Was it for my father's seven-tenths Subordinate Mine? Or is it because only the blood of the Star family can nourish your stolen Shadow Magic?"
A deafening sound suddenly came from the direction of Songlin.
As Lucius burst into the castle courtyard holding the Crimson Stele, the Secret Silver Chain had already reformed into the Inheritance Scepter of the First Generation Fortress Master.
Blood seeping from beneath the Young Mage's robe painted a Star-Moon Formation on the ground, echoing the shimmering Emerald Radiance in Luna's Cradle.
"Mother!" The Second Son, swept up in a whirlwind of Star Sand, crashed through the Colored Window. "Third Brother found the seal of the First Generation Fortress Master..." His Ailya's Roar abruptly cut off—Leonard's black mist pouring from his sleeves transformed into countless Skeleton Hands, gripping Aelia's ankle tightly.
Luna suddenly let out a heart-wrenching Loud Cry.
The Frost Mark on the baby's forehead erupted with blinding light, and the castle's Defensive Formation awakened like an Ancient Behemoth, rebounding Leonard's Shadow Magic back into his own body.
Amidst the collapsed Obsidian Pillars of the library, Brother San, engulfed in Burning Jin Hong flames, illuminated Father’s twisted face.
"Do you think you can forever control the Glorious Demon Fortress by altering the Inheritance?" Aelia snapped, breaking her Pearl Necklace at her neck. As the milky beads fell to the ground, they transformed into an Ice Crystal Cage. "From this day forth, everything you have stolen shall be returned to its rightful owner."
Leonard staggered and knocked over an Alchemy Table, spilling Dragon Blood Sand that left gruesome bloodstains on the sheepskin map.
His hand froze mid-motion as he touched the Dark Pattern on his sleeve—where there should have been an Emblem of the Shadow Family, now lay Aelia’s hand-stitched Twin Lotus from before their marriage.
"Madam..." The sound of his Adam's Apple rolling was particularly clear in the silence. He reached out to touch the Mineral Vein Deed floating in mid-air, but his fingertip passed through Xu Ying. "Some things are not as you see them..."
Seven intertwining pillars of Ice and Fire suddenly rose from deep within Songlin; the seal of the First Generation Fortress Master was crumbling.
In Luna's Emerald Pupils, the Soul Fire belonging to the Great Mage finally awakened completely—this scheme that had been plotted for Twenty Years had now truly reached its moment of reckoning.
As Yue Lun climbed to the tip of the Magic Crystal Tower, Luna curled up in her Wisteria Cradle counting stars.
Her three-inch-long silver hair swayed gently in the night breeze, and starlight wrapped around her fingertip formed fine threads that quietly reached towards her brothers' sleeping chambers.
Aelia suddenly staggered and burst through the door of the library, causing a Gilded Candelabra to crash to the floor.
She trembled as her fingertip brushed against the corner of the contract, the dark pattern revealing a once-blooming Ice Crystal Rose now weeping blood tears.
"Madam, be careful!" Qin Si hurriedly supported the slumped mistress, but froze upon touching the parchment.
Crimson mist billowed from the contract, reflecting Leonard embracing the black-haired woman Xu Ying, his fingertip entwined with the azure blue headband Aelia had seen just yesterday.
Luna suddenly let out a loud cry, and the star chain responded by shattering the crystal chandelier.
Amidst the splashing magical fragments, an infant pupil emerged, revealing an ancient rune array—this was the Great Mage's unique True Sight Eye, currently reflecting Leonard burning a letter in the secret chamber, marked by scorch marks.
"It can't be..." Aelia knelt in the moonlight, gazing at the infant handprint that floated from the contract.
The golden patterns astonishingly overlapped perfectly with the Magic Castle Geomancy Map, revealing five flickering nodes under the blood moon's glow.
The sound of a wheelchair rolling over black rose stone tiles echoed down the corridor as Luna blinked away the Xing Xu from her eyelashes.
Eldest Brother Pale's finger pressed on the seventh node of the magic circle, the very spot where he had borne their father's curse twenty years ago.
In the sudden eruption of magic turbulence from the West Tower, Lucius's crystal ball displayed a shocking scene of Leonard's last night—the swaddled infant floated beneath the Magic Castle dome, twelve star tracks piercing through Leonard's chest where his family crest lay, while Aelia's scepter stood upright in the center of the magic crystal altar.
