Chapter 552: Key to the Zodiac
In a mansion in a large courtyard of Azure Castle.
Felayton Stitch walked into the spire building and told his servants, "Close the gate and refuse all visitors. If anyone intends to break in, just kill them."
"Yes, master." Seven or eight men in black bowed their heads at the same time.
He climbed up to the roof attic, locked the entrance door, then walked to the window, reached out and lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked out of the yard.
It was almost dusk at this moment, and the sun sank into the Ambergris River little by little, reflecting this winding waterway in orange-red, like a surging blood vein embedded in the earth. Standing on the roof, you can not only enjoy this rare view, but also have a panoramic view of the situation around the yard.
"Someone is following, master." A stiff voice suddenly came from behind him.
It was a monster like a stone statue, with gray-black skin, a pair of bald flesh wings and a crow-shaped head, and even the voice was as rigid as a machine.
"It's Azia's people." Feleton saw several "vagrants" who were watching at the gate of the courtyard.
"Gucci can, eat them."
"Hold it." He closed the curtain, "At least not now. The Saint Wing Islands are very afraid of flying aliens. You can only leave the attic late at night."
The monster stopped talking, as if it had turned into a real statue.
Feleton came to the table, took off the mask on his face, and carefully took out the metal bust he got at the auction from the leather bag on his waist.
Bidding for all the auction items was just a cover. What he really wanted was only this item.
It has another name, called "Resonator", which is essentially an enchanted device. There are eleven statues like this, and together they are the Zodiac Key.
The Holy Palace regards it as a craft, not because they are too ignorant, but because the existence of such a thing is rarely known, and the method of activating it is also very special. Most people will not regard it as a magic weapon.
"I hope this thing is not broken."
If it is broken, I am afraid I will not have time to wait for the information of the next statue to come out.
Feileton took a deep breath and took out a transparent glass tube from the safe under the table. Although the clean and flawless crystal glass has been mass-produced in the country of Sand Boat, only a few top craftsmen can make it into such a light and thin shape.
However, no matter how precious the glass tube is, it pales in comparison to what it contains.
It is a tube of scarlet blood.
Once the blood of mortals leaves the body, it will coagulate and turn black in a short time, but this blood has been preserved for about two hundred years. Even after many transfers, it is still as crystal clear as a ruby.
It comes from its creator, Mistress Stitch.
Feileton opened the cork, and the tempting breath immediately hit him, even making him feel an uncontrollable dizziness. He used great willpower to restrain this desire and carefully dripped a drop of blood on the statue.
This is also the only way to activate the obsidian artifact.
As the name of the statue suggests, it can resonate with people of the same bloodline and indicate their location, including the original owner of the bloodline.
That's right, the creator has disappeared for more than two hundred years.
As long-lived people, it is not uncommon for them to fall into a long sleep, so the things that show their status are not gold, silver, and jewelry, but various secret tombs.
As one of the founders with the noblest bloodline, the mistress naturally has many tombs, which makes her whereabouts a mystery-no one knows where she sleeps and when she will wake up.
The Zodiac Key is made for this situation.
If the situation reaches a critical moment and the creator's powerful power is needed to overcome the difficulties, the younger generations will be allowed to use these statues to find their sleeping locations.
But two hundred years is too long.
So much so that most of the inherited families were buried in the long river of time, and the Zodiac Key was lost together. Feleton used all the information networks and finally found out the news of a resonator, and tracked it all the way from the Sand Boat Kingdom to the Azure Castle.
Fortunately, he finally got it.
Maybe it's still in time.
Feleton secretly calculated in his heart that no matter where the creator was sleeping, even in the Morning and Dusk Sea, he would find him within a year and invite him back to Xilisti.
Under the infiltration of blood, the statue gradually turned bright red, and then the upper body of the woman slowly turned. She raised her lotus-like arms, with five fingers pointing to the south, and at the same time, a dazzling red light bloomed in her palms!
Feleton stood up suddenly, and the movement was so big that the seat behind him flipped over--
His eyes were full of disbelief!
The intensity of the light means the resonance distance. The farther away, the weaker the light, and vice versa. The method of finding the tomb is not complicated. That is to move in the direction of the statue's finger, and then drip blood every few miles to confirm how far the two are. A bottle of blood can be used about twenty times, so it is best to travel a long enough distance for the first search, such as half of the Endless Sea, and then conduct a second test to ensure that the destination can be more effectively judged.
But he never expected to see such a dazzling light in the first resonance!
This means that the place where the mistress is sleeping is in the Azure Castle area.
The question is... is this really possible?
Feleiton didn't know whether to be excited or worried.
For the founders of noble blood, the tomb is a symbol of status, and the more strange and hidden it is, the better. For example, the famous Dracula III once built a tomb at the vent of a volcanic island. Although it was completely destroyed in a volcanic eruption, it was discovered by explorers because of this and soon became a topic of discussion in the empire. There is no doubt that this choice of location highlights the heritage and taste of an ancient blood noble.
The Azure Castle is obviously a counterexample.
Two hundred years ago, this place was still a fishing village. It was only after taking advantage of the overseas trade that it transformed into a decent city. In Felayton's view, it is no different from the countryside. It has no characteristics of its own. Anyone can enter and exit. There are ruffians everywhere. How can the honorable mistress look down on such a place?
Could it be that the magic weapon is broken?
He moved the statue slightly, and the statue quickly adjusted it. The finger rotated a few degrees and still pointed steadily to the south.
This thing seems to be working normally.
Felayton thought about it, but in the end, he was reluctant to drop the second drop of blood.
He planned to go to the south of Azure Castle first, and then make the next decision.
And all this must be done in secret.
The creator was sleeping in the filthy four-clawed dragon demon town - if this news spread, it would probably become a stain that the mistress could never erase in her life.
