In a large mansion in Azure Castle.
Feleyton Stitch walked into the steeple building and at the same time ordered the attendants, "Seal the courtyard door and refuse all visitors. If anyone plans to break in, you can just kill him."
"As you command, Master." Seven or eight men in black lowered their heads at the same time.
He climbed all the way to the roof attic, locked the entrance door, then walked to the window, stretched out his hand to lift a corner of the curtain, and looked out into the yard.
It was almost dusk now, and the sun was sinking into the Ambergris River little by little, reflecting the winding waterway in orange-red, like a surging blood vein embedded in the earth. Standing on the top of the building, you can not only enjoy this rare view, but also have a panoramic view of the surrounding courtyard.
"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 bare flesh wings and a bird-shaped head. Even its speaking voice was as rigid as a machine.
"It's Achie's people." Felayton saw at a glance several "tramps" who were surrounding the entrance of the courtyard and watching.
"Gucci can, eat them."
"Hold it." He closed the curtain, "At least not now. The Holy Wing Islands are very afraid of flying alien species, and you can only leave the attic late at night."
The monster stopped talking and seemed to have turned into a real statue.
Feleyton came to the table, took off the mask on his face, and carefully took out the metal bust obtained at the auction from the leather bag on his waist.
Bidding on all auction items is just a pretense. What he really wants is this item.
It has another name, "Resonator", which is essentially an enchanted weapon. There are eleven statues like this in total, and together they are the Key to the Zodiac.
The Holy Palace regards it as a handicraft, not because they are too ignorant, but because the existence of this kind of thing is rarely known, and the method of activating it is also extremely special, so most people will not regard it as a magic weapon.
"I hope this thing isn't broken yet."
If it breaks, I'm afraid I won't have time to wait for information on the next statue to come out.
Felayton took a deep breath and took out a clear glass tube from the safe under the table. Although clean and flawless crystal glass has been mass-produced in the country of Shazhou, 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 was a tube of scarlet blood.
Once mortal blood leaves the body, it will solidify and turn black in a short period of time, but this blood has been preserved for about two hundred years. Even after being transferred many times, it is still as crystal clear as ruby.
It comes from its creator, Mother Stitch.
Felayton uncorked the bottle, and the alluring smell immediately hit his face, even making him feel an uncontrollable dizziness. He used great perseverance to restrain this desire and carefully dripped a drop of blood on the statue.
This is also the only way to activate an Obsidian artifact.
Just like the name of the statue, it can resonate with those with the same bloodline and indicate its location, including the original owner of the bloodline.
Yes, the founder has disappeared for more than two hundred years.
As a long-lived species, it is not unusual for them to fall into a long sleep, so the things that highlight their identity are not gold and silver jewelry, but various secret tombs.
As one of the noblest founders of the bloodline, the Mistress naturally has many tombs, which makes her whereabouts a mystery - no one knows where she fell asleep and when she would wake up.
The Zodiac Key was created for just this situation.
If the situation reaches a critical moment and it is necessary to rely on the powerful power of the creator to tide over 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 have been buried in the long river of time, and the Key to the Zodiac has also been lost. Felayton used all the information networks to finally find out the news about a resonater, and followed him from the Sand Boat Kingdom to Azure Castle.
Luckily, he finally got it.
It may not be too late.
Felayton secretly calculated in his heart that no matter where the founder was sleeping, even in the sea of twilight and twilight, he would find him within a year and invite him back to Silisti.
Under the moistening of the blood, the statue gradually turned bright red, and then the woman's upper body slowly rotated. She raised her lotus-like arms, with her fingers facing south, and at the same time, a dazzling red light bloomed in her palms!
Felayton stood up suddenly, and the movement was so big that he overturned the seat behind him——
His eyes were full of disbelief!
The intensity of the light means the resonance distance. The farther away the light is, the weaker the light is, and vice versa. The method of finding the tomb is not complicated, that is, go in the direction of the statue's finger, and then drop blood every once in a while to confirm how far there is between the two. A bottle of blood can be used almost twenty times, so it is best to travel a far enough distance for the first search, such as half of the Endless Sea, and then conduct a second test to ensure that the destination location can be judged more effectively. .
But he never expected that he would see such a dazzling light for the first time!
This means that the place where the Mistress sleeps is in the Azure Castle area.
The question is... is this really possible
Felayton didn't know whether to be excited or worried at the moment.
For the founder of a noble bloodline, the tomb is a symbol of status, and it is usually as strange and hidden as possible. 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 it soon became a A topic that the empire talks about. There is no doubt that this kind of location highlights the heritage and taste of an ancient blood noble.
Azure Castle is obviously a counterexample.
Two hundred years ago, this was a fishing village. It took advantage of overseas trade to transform it into a fairly decent city. From Feleyton's point of view, it was no different from the countryside. It had no characteristics and anyone could come in and out. There were ruffians everywhere. How could the noble mistress value such a place
Isn't it because the magic weapon is malfunctioning
He moved the statue slightly, and the statue quickly made adjustments. His fingers rotated a few degrees and were still pointing steadily to the north.
Everything seems to be working fine with this thing.
Felayton thought for a while and finally was reluctant to drop the second drop of blood.
He planned to go to the north of Azure Castle for a walk before making the next decision.
And it all had to be done in top secret.
The founder was sleeping in the filthy little town of the Four-Clawed Dragon Demon - if this news got out, it would probably become an indelible stain on the mistress's life.
