Ice crystals condensed into delicate Frost Flowers around Aelia as she handed the incessantly crying Luna to Qin Si, completely unaware that the infant in her swaddling was tightly clutching a fist dusted with Star Pattern Stone Powder.
Lucius's mangled left hand brushed against the trembling collar of a miner, while the Frostwolf Totem flickered in and out of visibility amidst the Roar emanating from the Cellar.
"Seal off the mining area immediately." Aelia's cold voice cut through the smoke, but as she turned, Luna's saliva-smeared Palm pressed against her face.
The infant's grape-like Pupils suddenly shimmered with Lustrous Gold, and her Baby Voice whispered a clear Curse in Aelia's ear: "Laurel Wood Box... hides the Heart of the Stars..."
At dawn, in the study of the West Wing of the Demon Fortress.
Aelia caressed the Serpent-Shaped Wax Seal on the Liujin Invitation, a Carved Wooden Box sent by an anonymous guest half a month ago.
Qin Si was tidying up Luna's spit-up swaddling when he suddenly noticed that the Star Sand Parchment Shard clutched by the infant was gradually aligning with the patterns on the Box Lid.
"Madam! The Young Miss just..." Before the maid could finish her sentence, Luna unexpectedly slammed her fist, covered in Star Pattern Stone Powder, against the Wooden Box.
The Golden Lock sprang open, revealing three spirit stones swirling with Xing Hui on a velvet lining—each facet engraved with long-lost Frostwolf Clan Secret Script.
At noon, ripples suddenly spread across the Protective Barrier of the Magic Castle Dome.
Brother San anxiously tugged at his Embroidered Golden Cuffs, while Second Brother's Contract Seal flickered erratically with the fluctuations of the barrier.
Leonard's position remained vacant at the Ice Crystal Throne, with only Lucius's Hand Back Totem resonating with the Frostwolf Relief on the Dome of the hall.
"Is my Lord still in the Alchemical Chamber?" The elder brother's silver staff struck heavily against the Ground, and the Detection Crystal embedded in its Staff Tip suddenly erupted with Blood-red Light.
Before anyone could react, a blood-soaked guard burst through the Gilded Gate, his Waist stone pouch visibly fading to gray.
"The Core Formation Array's Zhen Ling Stone... can only last until Lunar Eclipse Night!" The guard stumbled and collapsed at the base of the Ice Crystal Long Stair, a strange dark green glow seeping from the cracks in his broken armor.
Aelia rose, her Ice Blue Skirt sweeping over the Moonstone Table that held the Mysterious Wooden Box, completely unaware that the spirit stone inside was resonating with Luna's Necklace of Star Pattern Stone.
Suddenly, a thunderous Zhen Chan echoed from the direction of the Cellar, and Lucius's Hand Back Totem instantly covered his entire arm.
Under the terrified gaze of everyone, the Dome Barrier cracked with spider web-like fissures, while Luna Yi Ya held aloft the Palm that cradled the spirit stone rolling out from the Wooden Box—its brilliant light reflecting Aelia's pupils as they suddenly constricted, and revealing the Serpent Star Trail quietly emerging from the Council Chamber Dome.
The bloodstains winding down the Ice Crystal Long Stair glowed blue under the moonlight seeping through the cracks in the Dome.
The guard curled up beside Aelia's Ice Blue Skirt Hem, his fingertip stained with green luminescence gripping tightly onto the spirit stone bag that had faded to a grayish-white Liu Su. "My Lord insisted on mining the Shadow Vein three years ago... those contaminated spirit stones simply couldn't withstand the Frostwolf Totem..."
Lucius's Hand Back Totem suddenly sprouted Ice Spikes, pinning a servant who tried to assist the guard against a Gilded Column.
Aelia's Frost Crystal Necklace suddenly exploded into Ice Mist, enveloping the guard's bleeding wounds. "Take him to the Medical Room—seal his wounds with Xuan Bing!" As she turned, her Skirt brushed past Leonard's vacant throne, and the Frost Flower that had crystallized there shattered and fell upon the steps inlaid with Serpent Pattern and Star Pattern.
"Mother!" Brother San's Embroidered Golden Cuffs suddenly ignited with Azure Blue Flame. Second Brother hurriedly tried to suppress it with a Contract Seal, but Eldest Brother's Silver Staff had already struck heavily against his lower back. "Fool! Do you want to burn down the entire Assembly Hall?" Luna giggled in Qin Si's arms, her small hand dusted with Star Pattern Stone Powder accurately pointing at the Dome where spider web-like Ice Cracks were seeping dark purple mist.
Leonard's Alchemical Robe burst through the Side Door, carrying with it a sulfurous smell, his silver hair tangled with charred Alchemical Conduit.
In an instant, his withered fingers grasped at the Ice Crystal Armrest, and suddenly, the entire Ice Crystal Long Stair was covered in spider web-like Green Fluorescent Cracks. "The Ley Line Energy from the West Mining District is going berserk." His hoarse voice sounded like corroded metal. "The Magic Circle can last at most..."
"Three hours." Aelia interrupted him suddenly, holding a spirit stone retrieved from the Gilded Wooden Box suspended in her Palm, reflecting her pupils like tempered blue steel. "These Frostwolf Secret Script Gemstones are enough to buy us three days." As her fingertip brushed over the facets of the spirit stone, Luna's Star Pattern Stone Pendant around her neck suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and shards of Star Sand Parchment scattered from her Infant Swaddling began to automatically piece together half of a Star Chart.
Lucius abruptly pressed down on his wildly beating left wrist; at its severed end, the Frostwolf Totem resonated with Eldest Brother's Detection Crystal at the tip of his Silver Staff. "Father sealed away the Shadow Vein back then..." Before he could finish speaking, the entire castle shook violently with Zhen Chan. Luna in Qin Si's arms was jolted out of her swaddling but was securely wrapped mid-air by Second Brother's Contract Chain.
"Take the Children to the Emerald Corridor!" Aelia's Frost Crystal Necklace exploded into an Ice Shield to block falling Shattered Crystals from the Dome. The Gilded Wooden Box was thrown towards Leonard. "Use Alchemical Array to analyze Secret Script—be quick!" As her Ice Blue Skirt swept past Brother San who was slumped on the ground, dark green slime suddenly oozed from scorch marks on her Embroidered Golden Sleeves.
The moonlight stone of the Emerald Corridor reflected Luna's movements, casting light and shadow on the scene.
Brother San sat slumped on the fluffy cloud mat, staring at the green stains spreading from his cuff. "That's not the pollution from the Shadow Vein... Father mentioned something about it back in the capital..."
"Luna, your cufflink is glowing!" Luna suddenly leaped into his arms, her drool-covered little hand pressing down on his Embroidered Golden Cuffs' Wolf Head Button.
When Brother San instinctively pushed her away, fine Star Pattern Stone Powder drifted out from the Button Gap—identical to the Frostwolf Secret Script on the surface of the Wooden Box's spirit stone.
A sudden cracking sound echoed from outside the Emerald Corridor as ice layers shattered, mixed with the sound of his brother's Silver Staff colliding and Lucius's Ailya's Roar approaching from afar.
Luna tugged at Brother San's flowing silver hair, her Lustrous Golden Pupils reflecting the increasingly bright Secret Script on his cuff. "The gift room has so many Liang Jing Jings!" She deliberately smeared some Star Pattern Stone Powder on his nose. "Last time Sister Qian Si mentioned that Carved Wooden Box..."
"Are you crazy? Mother strictly forbids anyone from approaching the North Wing Treasure Chamber!" Brother San grabbed her flailing little hand tightly, only to realize that the patterns on his palm were being burned with faint golden traces by the Star Pattern Stone Powder.
Suddenly, Second Brother's Contract Chain slithered into the Emerald Corridor, wrapping around Brother San's sleeve that was seeping green light. "Father wants to see you—wait! Those Secret Scripts on your cuff are..."
Seizing the opportunity, Luna rolled to the edge of the Velvet Blanket, her palm covered in Star Pattern Stone Powder pressed against a mural in the Emerald Corridor.
As the hidden door slid open, an Ice Fog Alarm descended from the Emerald Dome but was forcefully interrupted by the starlight bursting from her Neck and Jade Pendant.
When Brother San lunged forward to grab her, a resonance suddenly occurred between his Frostwolf Secret Script and the Star Trail behind the dark door, blinding golden light engulfing all sounds.
By the time the Ice Fog Alarm sounded again, Luna had already clutched Brother San's collar and crawled into the Ventilation Duct.
The Star Pattern Stone Powder formed a delicate path of light in the dark East Corridor, mingling with a baby's unique Milk Fragrance and the burnt smell of scorched Secret Script, making Brother San gag as he crawled. "If Mother finds out..."
"Don't you want to save the Magic Castle, Brother San?" Luna suddenly turned around, her Lustrous Golden Pupils flickering in the darkness like two clusters of Ghost Fire. "Your cuff's Secret Script and Resonance are glowing." She deliberately let her Jade Pendant collide with the pipe, and a faint sound of a Wooden Box opening came from a loose Zhuan Shi, reminiscent of the noise when the Anonymous Gift was stored half a month ago.
As the two of them tumbled into the vent, covered in Star Pattern Stone Powder, moonlight streamed through the Stained Glass Window, illuminating the Bronze Gate Ring of the mysterious gift room as if it were a beast's eye.
Suddenly, Luna's Jade Pendant emitted a high-frequency Zhen Chan, causing the Serpent Pattern engravings on the door ring to begin rotating counterclockwise. Meanwhile, Brother San's cuff's Secret Script had spread to his Collarbone, casting an eerie Golden Red glow beneath his skin. The moonlight filtered through the Stained Glass, dyeing the Bronze Gate Ring with a Snake Scale Pattern. Luna tiptoed to smear the Star Pattern Stone Powder on the beast-eye-shaped keyhole.
Brother San stepped back, covering his Collarbone where the Secret Script was spreading. The residual green luminescence from his Embroidered Golden Cuffs glowed faintly in the dark. "How could there be a Frostwolf Clan's chained Forbidden Spell in this cursed place?"
"Because the gift-giver wanted Mother to open it personally," Luna said in her Baby Voice as her Neck and Jade Pendant suddenly burst forth with starlight.
The Bronze Door thunderously swung open with the counter-rotation of the Serpent Pattern engravings, revealing dozens of Suspended Wooden Boxes floating amidst the oncoming Stardust—each Box Lid engraved with the same Frostwolf Secret Script as the Resonance.
Just as Brother San's embroidered Boot Tip touched the diamond-shaped Peacock Stone Tiles, a wall sconce suddenly transformed into ice, and a Frostwolf head spewed forth Han Qi.
He jumped back, shaking off Ice Shards that had formed on his pant legs, and clumsily knocked over a Liujin storage rack.
Dozens of magical alarm bells clanged to the ground, exploding into a cacophony of Purple Light Clusters in the silence.
"Third Young Master?" Outside, hurried footsteps echoed from a Knight.
Luna grabbed some Star Pattern Stone Powder and tossed it into the air; her sweet chant surprisingly caused the powder to coalesce into a Frostwolf Shadow.
When the Knight burst through the door, he only saw moonlight streaming through the empty Colored Window. Brother San was awkwardly propping up the toppled storage rack, while several unopened Heirloom boxes lay scattered at his feet.
"We're playing hide and seek!" Luna exclaimed from Brother San's shoulder, swinging her feet while her hidden hand quietly crushed pieces of alarm bells behind her back.
The Chief Guard suspiciously stared at Brother San’s Embroidered Golden Cuffs, where the Secret Script flickered erratically until Aelia’s cold reprimand echoed down the corridor: "Is that Magic Fluctuation from here related to West Wing's Defensive Formation?"
Brother San jerked his hand back as if electrocuted from touching a Wooden Box, giving Luna an opportunity to roll into the pile of Heirlooms.
Her small hands, covered in Star Pattern Stone Powder, barely touched a Carved Wooden Box when the entire wall of Suspended Wooden Boxes suddenly began to rotate clockwise. The Box Lid and Secret Script projected a complete Frostwolf Star Map under the moonlight.
"Be careful, Mother!" Second Brother, who had just arrived, threw out a Contract Chain, but it rebounded the moment it touched the Star Map.
The Silver Staff held by Eldest Brother suddenly burst forth with Blood Light, the Staff Tip pointing directly at the Wooden Box in Luna's arms. "There’s something inside... consuming Magic Element!"
Leonard's Alchemical Robe swept into the room with a whiff of Sulfur, his frail fingers reaching out toward the Rotating Star Map. "The Pollution Source of Shadow Vein!" Before his Alchemical Conduit could touch the Wooden Box, Luna abruptly cradled it in her arms, and the unique Magic Fluctuation of an infant caused the Star Map Projection to come to an abrupt halt.
"Father, look at this!" Luna intentionally tipped over the Wooden Box, and three Supreme Spirit Stones rolled to where the Star Map intersected.
Aelia's Frost Crystal Necklace suddenly exploded into Ice Mist, enveloping the surface of the spirit stones with emerging prayers from the Frostwolf Clan—this was precisely the core Judgment Array missing from the Magic Castle Dome's barrier.
Lucius's incomplete left hand pressed down on the wildly pulsating totem as Eldest Brother's Silver Staff and Detection Crystal cracked with a sharp sound.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, the spirit stones emitted Xing Hui, automatically repairing the crystal fissures and reflecting Eldest Brother's Silver Mask, where a faint Curse Black Spot was visible.
"The Anonymous Gift actually knows about the structure of the Magic Castle's Barrier Node..." Aelia's Fingertip brushed against the frost-streaked surface of the spirit stone as her Ice Blue Eyes slightly trembled.
Leonard suddenly snatched a fragment of the Wooden Box; a charred Alchemical Conduit pulled out half a Serpent Scale from the Bottom of the Box's Hidden Layer. "Contraband circulating in the black market of the royal capital!"
Seizing this opportunity, Luna crawled to Eldest Brother's feet, pressing her Palm, still dusted with Star Pattern Stone Powder, against the crack in his Silver Staff.
Amidst her incoherent humming, the spirit stone's Xing Hui slithered up along the staff, forming a fleeting Frostwolf Totem on the surface of his Silver Mask.
Eldest Brother staggered back and collided with the wall; shards of Detection Crystal fell into his collar, burning faint golden marks on his Collarbone.
"Miss, be careful!" Qin Si suddenly lunged forward to embrace Luna.
At that moment, the rotating Suspended Wooden Boxes exploded simultaneously, sending hundreds of Sheepskin Invitations flying like Snowflakes.
The Serpent-Shaped Wax Seal at the bottom of each Invitation was Burning, illuminating the Emerald Dome as if it were Daylight.
Leonard waved his sleeve, summoning the Alchemical Storm, but as he touched the Burning Invitation, he was repelled and staggered backward.
Aelia's Ice Mist Barrier had just enveloped everyone when Luna's Jade Pendant suddenly shot forth a beam of starlight, precisely piercing the Serpent Mark on one of the Invitations.
From the Burning Ashes emerged half a line of a Frostwolf Clan proverb, resonating with the remnants of Xing Hui atop Brother Silver Staff.
"In the darkest hour of Dawn..." Second Brother murmured, his Ashes Iris flickering uncertainly on his forehead.
Lucius's Hand Back Totem suddenly sprouted an Ice Spike, his incomplete left hand reaching out toward Luna. "That Jade Pendant—"
Before he could finish, the entire Treasure Chamber's Suspended Wooden Box converged into a Magic Circle resembling a Star River Flow.
Luna let out a Yin Ling-like laugh in Qin Si's arms, and the Supreme Spirit Stone rose into the air, transforming into Liuguang under the guidance of the Frostwolf Star Map as it pierced through the Dome.
Everyone looked up; the cracks in the Magic Fortress Barrier were visibly healing at an astonishing speed, while a faint sound of Ancient Wolf Howl echoed from the end of the star river.
Aelia's Ice Blue Skirt fluttered without wind, and her Frost Crystal Necklace reformed around her Neck.
As the last crack in the barrier vanished, Brother suddenly groaned and knelt on one knee. The Silver Mask clattered to the ground, revealing half of his face covered by Golden Incantation—its intricate patterns perfectly matching those of the suspended Frostwolf Star Map.
