Frost refracted sharp light under the moonlight as Aelia stepped over the Persian carpet, which was coated in Bing Hua. In her arms, Luna was playfully grasping a Blood Pearl that oozed from the cracks of a Wedding Ring.
Every time the infant's fingertip touched the Blood Pearl, the Celestial Star Map emitted a muffled sound like turning gears, and a second wave of explosions echoed in the distance.
"Madam!" Qin Si burst through the frozen Carved Door, holding a Silver Tray that contained a Jade Bracelet shattered into three pieces. "The Cellar Ice Coffin... those runes from Three Hundred Years Ago are reassembling!"
Aelia lightly tapped Luna's Mei Xin with the Bloodstained Wedding Ring, and suddenly, the Xing Hui among her Infant Hair surged dramatically.
As the Crystal Chandelier fell, frozen ice crystals drifted in mid-air, reflecting the Blonde Woman watering flowers in the garden of Emerald Manor—Leonard's Concubine. The Ruby ring on her ring finger was unmistakably the "Blood Flame Heart" lost from the Magic Castle Treasury.
"For Twenty Years he has used my Dowry to support his mistress?" Aelia tore apart a Pearl Necklace, scattering South Sea Pearls that rolled across the Ice Surface to form a Magic Circle Diagram.
Luna suddenly giggled, her small hands patting the Sapphire at the center of the formation, causing the entire castle's foundation to emit a roar like a dragon awakening.
The Residual Shadow of an Ice Blue Bird emerged from the cracks of the Wedding Ring, carrying a drop of Luna's tear as it crashed against the wall.
The stone bricks instantly became transparent like crystal, revealing an Underground Chamber piled high with Debt Contracts—atop one parchment was stamped with Leonard's Griffin Emblem, and the guarantor's name was unmistakably Ailya's Father.
"Father actually used the tax revenue from twelve cities in the Northern Territory as collateral..." Aelia staggered to support herself against an ice pillar as the flames in the Gilded Candelabra suddenly turned a ghostly blue.
Luna grasped her Mother's trembling fingers; deep within her infant pupils emerged Xing Mang of a Great Mage. Suddenly, a Gold Leaf Ledger encrusted with Moonstones flew out from the Treasure Ruins.
The Gold Leaf Ledger hovered in the Ice Mist, flipping pages on its own. Qin Si suddenly exclaimed, "All these debtors' addresses point to villas near Emerald Manor!" The Ice Crystal Ground revealed a magical map, with each Red Dot precisely corresponding to Leonard's Mistresses' greenhouses where they nurtured magical plants.
Luna rolled into the center of the ice crystal Magic Circle, her chubby little hands patting at the number fifty thousand Magic Crystals.
However, Aelia used melted gold liquid from her Wedding Ring to rewrite that number. "At least eighty thousand Magic Crystals plus three boxes of Moonstones—those women must return every last stolen Magic Gem."
The infant suddenly curled up with her back to her Mother, yet the Xing Hui at her hair tips drew a mischievous smile in mid-air.
As Aelia endured the heartache and added a box of Fire Opal, Luna immediately opened her Five Fingers to grasp the floating Feather Pen. The frozen ice crystals in the Crystal Chandelier suddenly refracted a debt collection route map.
"Start from 23 Rose Lane." Aelia tied the blood-stained Swaddling Cloth around Luna's Waist, and twelve Ice Spike Darts flew from the Treasure Ruins, swirling around the baby to form a Defensive Formation. "That opera singer just scammed two carts of Cedar Magic Crystals last month."
Luna suddenly clutched her Mother’s Earlobe, and the Heirloom—Ice Phoenix Tail Feather—hidden in Aelia's Hair Bun fell freely.
As the baby held the tail feather and blew out bubbles, the Ice Spikes on the Castle Outer Wall suddenly transformed into a Crystal Carriage, with sixteen frozen Magic Puppets turning into Ice Crystal Pegasi to pull it.
When moonlight streamed into the carriage, Luna's tears solidified on the icy seat into an Astrological Compass.
Aelia finally pressed the Wedding Ring into the baby’s Palm, and a Blood Pearl seeping from the Ice Cracks suddenly transformed into a Blood Crystal. "If you encounter danger, crush it; those creditors fear..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the Crystal Carriage had burst through the Ice Mist and vanished into the sky.
The Ice Coffin in the Treasure Ruins suddenly emitted a Longyin, and ancient runes from Three Hundred Years Ago crawled up Aelia's Skirt along the Ice Crystal Vines, branding a Debt Magic Pattern at her ankle.
As the Celestial Star Map rotated to the seventh Three Degrees, an ominous red light illuminated from the direction of Emerald Manor.
The moonlight stretched the shadow of the Crystal Carriage into an Ice Spike shape, while Luna curled up in Aelia's embrace, with twelve Ice Spike Darts swirling around the swaddling to form Frost Flowers.
When the Horse-drawn Carriage landed before the Emerald Color archway at 23 Rose Lane, the baby suddenly tugged at her Mother’s Earlobe, causing three Ice Phoenix Tail Feathers to drift down from Aelia's Hair Bun.
"These are treasures from the Northern Storm Eye!" Aelia hurriedly reached out to grab them, but Luna puffed up her cheeks and blew out a Magic Bubble.
The tail feathers melted within the bubble into Liquid Starlight, quickly crystallizing into three Ice Soul Pearls—perfectly filling in the missing gem slots on the baby's anklet.
Aelia's Fingertip trembled with anger as the Ice Crystal Lily of the Valley on her Skirt jingled. "I should have left you beside the Ice Coffin to gnaw on talismans!" She tore open the swaddling to dig out an Ice Soul Pearl but found a complete Debt Map emerging on Luna's belly, each Red Dot pulsing in the night like a heartbeat.
"Madam, all seven debts must be settled before midnight." Qin Si leaped down from the horse-drawn carriage, holding the Ice Crystal Hourglass. The sand within was frozen stardust from three hundred years ago. "Third Young Master Lucius just sent word via the Messenger Falcon that there has been unusual activity in the greenhouse of Emerald Manor."
Luna suddenly let out a laugh reminiscent of Yin Ling, her chubby little hands clapping against the Griffin Relief on the archway.
The Ice Spike Dart pierced through the Magic Barrier in an instant, revealing the Rose Vines of Emerald Manor under the moonlight, shedding their disguise to reveal their true Blood Red form as Spike Magic Plants.
A Blonde Woman rushed over, holding a Liuli Lantern, her nightgown embroidered with moonstone suddenly flashing an alarm in red.
When she caught sight of Aelia and the Bloodstained Wedding Ring in Qin Si's hand, she exclaimed as it shattered on the ground paved with Magic Crystal bricks: "Lady of the Fortress... at this late hour..."
"Annabelle Emerald." Aelia used the Ice Spike Dart to lift a strand of hair from the woman's face, exposing a Flame Tattoo hidden behind her ear. "The Icefield Dawn Map you stole from the Magic Castle Gallery three years ago should be repaid with Cedar Magic Crystals."
A warm yellow halo suddenly spilled from the foyer as Lucius leaned against the Stained Glass, holding a Magic Tome. Dew from the greenhouse clung to his silver hair like Night Roses.
He flicked his fingertip, and the frozen Frozen Tea Table floated to the center of the courtyard. The red tea in the Liuli Pot steamed and condensed into a Little Sprite.
"Mother hasn't even prepared dinner, has she?" The young man cut into a cream puff shaped like a flower sprite with an ice blade, revealing flowing Moonstone Syrup inside. "Xiao Luna, would you like to try Emerald Manor's special..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Luna suddenly rolled onto the Frozen Tea Table. At that moment, a droplet of water fell from her mouth, freezing all the desserts into Ice Sculptures.
She grabbed a puff and stuffed it into Lucius's collar. The moment the cream touched his Silver Thread Embroidered Shoes, it exploded into twelve Ice Crystal Butterflies that fluttered toward Annabelle's nightgown.
The Blonde Woman hurriedly stepped back, but a Contract Fragment that slipped from her sleeve was caught by one of the butterflies.
Aelia's eyes glinted coldly as Ice Spike Darts wove around the fragments to form a Vine Cage. "Contract number 2018: two carts of Cedar Magic Crystals for viewing rights to the Icefield Dawn Map?"
Luna suddenly seized Lucius's silver hair for support and stood up, her baby feet colliding with the Xingyue Lucius Darkmoon Pendant on his chest.
Ancient Magic Rune suddenly Emerging in the Ground, Annabelle's Flame Tattoo on Ear began to ooze Hei Xue, and she was horrified to find that her Ruby ring was fading. "Oops, the fake Blood Flame Heart has lost its effect." Lucius smiled and held Luna's Little Feet, letting the baby rub the Ice Shard all over his cufflinks inlaid with Magic Crystal, "It's time to renew the Magic Course that your Father gave you, Annabelle." The Crystal Chandelier suddenly refracted a strange red light, and Luna's Ice Crystal Butterfly collectively crashed into the Stained Glass. When the Cathedral Rose Window pattern shattered to the ground, everyone saw the illusion of Leonard signing the Contract with the Griffin Emblem emerging from the shards of glass—and the Witness Brand in the lower right corner of the Contract was clearly the Magic Seal that Lucius received on his Eighteenth Birthday. Margaret's Fingertip Tea Spoon suddenly condensed into ice crystals, and the reflection of 50,000 Magic Crystal emergedon the surface of Rose Red Tea. The once-popular opera star was now wrapped in a faded velvet Peacock Blue Shawl, and the Sapphire Zhui Zi swaying on the Earlobe cracked into fine lines, revealing the Debt Magic Pattern squirming inside. "The money from three years ago..." She spread Luna's swaddling clothes on the Moonstone Table inlaid with moonstones, and the Ice Crystal Butterfly landed on the baby's Hair Tips, "It was to seal the curse Ruby under the theater - you know, after the Blood Flame Heart was stolen, the Dark Matter began to erode the Emerald Manor barrier." Luna turned over and grabbed the shaking gem Zhui Zi, and the Xing Hui between the Golden Hair suddenly seeped into the cracks. The ice crystals on the surface of the Tea Spoon began to grow in reverse, condensing into a Micro Magic Circle diagram. When the Griffin Emblem of Leonard was Emerging in the center of the Formation Diagram, the Night Rose outside the window suddenly Screech, and the vines spelled out the Ancient Magic Script of "Cheater" on the glass. "Father use your singing voice as collateral?" Aelia's Ice Spike Dart pierced the Contract Projection, and the frozen flames in the Gilded Candelabra suddenly turned into a dark blue. "No wonder you lost your voice after singing "Starfall Elegy" at the Midsummer Festival that year." Margaret hurriedly used the Peacock Blue Shawl to cover the Magic Pattern spreading around her neck, and the Pearl Hairpin in her hair suddenly collapsed. Luna suddenly made a Yiya Sound, and twelve Ice Spike Dart formed a Harp shape in the air, and the baby's tears condensed into the Star Map of the Northern Storm Eye on the Qin Xian. When the vibration of the Ruby Resonance came from the ground, everyone saw the illusion of Leonard holding the Contract and trading with the Black Market Merchant in the Qin Xian.
"He hid the Resonance Spell in the Contract." Luna's Xing Hui flowed along the Harp, and suddenly, the Magic Pattern on Margaret's Neck began to peel away. "As long as the Ruby keeps vibrating, the debt from the Magic Crystal will grow like a snowball."
As the darkest shadows of Dawn enveloped the manor, Luna curled up in Margaret's treasured Ice Silkworm Silk Quilt.
The infant Palm cradled the cursed Ruby that had peeled away from the Magic Pattern, tapping its surface with the Ice Soul Pearl on its foot every half hour. When the seventh tap shattered the Cursed Vines outside, the Resonance sound from below finally turned into a weak Sobbing.
Before the morning mist had lifted, Leonard's Leonard's Silver Carriage had already stopped outside the Hedge Wall covered in Xing Teng.
He rubbed the Contract Mark on his right hand and watched as Luna was swaddled in a bundle made of Frost Rose by Margaret, resembling a Snowball. "The Alchemist on Oak Lane has a temper worse than a Magma Goblin; perhaps we should start with..."
Suddenly, Luna grabbed his Embroidered Shoes at the sleeve adorned with Defensive Magic Pattern, her infant Xing Hui tracing out a complete debt collection route at the Dark Pattern.
When Leonard tried to pull back his Sleeve, he found that the Griffin Emblem on his cuff had been altered into a crying Ice Crystal Sprite.
"Is Father scared?" Luna said, holding a pearl that had slipped from Margaret's hair. An Ice Crystal Butterfly above her head formed a Mockery smile.
As the Horse-drawn Carriage passed under the frosted Cypress archway, the infant suddenly pressed a Ruby Fragment against the Defensive Nexus of the carriage curtain—instantly revealing all hidden Tracking Magic Patterns, which shattered into Ice Shards in the morning light.
Leonard's Pupil shrank as he quietly tucked his left hand, which held the Contract, into the folds of his cloak.
When the Horse-drawn Carriage came to an abrupt stop in front of Gate 17 on Oak Lane, Luna's swaddle suddenly unfastened by itself. The Ice Silkworm Silk Fabric formed a Micro Defense Array in mid-air, precisely blocking the Sulfur smoke spilling from the Door Gap.
"He blew up three debt collectors' wigs last month." Leonard tapped the Bronze Gate Ring with his staff embedded with Magic Crystals. The Griffin eye at the Staff Tip suddenly wept droplets of Mithril. "Perhaps we should wait until Noon when the barrier is weakest..."
Luna suddenly rolled over to the threshold piled with Ashes, her small hands patting at the soot-blackened Ice Crystal.
As a Roar from an overloaded Alchemical Furnace echoed from below, the Xing Hui in her hair seeped into a stone crevice, freezing the restless fire element into blooming Ice Roses.
When the seventh rose bloomed, the rusty copper bell above the door suddenly rang with a sound reminiscent of Qing Yue, shaking loose three bankruptcy notices stuffed in the door gap.
As Leonard bent down, his cloak brushed against Luna's Ice Crystal Shield, and the tracking Curse swimming within the Dark Pattern suddenly began to gnaw at the Ice Layer.
He pretended to adjust his boot buckle, discreetly moving his left hand, which concealed the Black Market Contract, behind him. "How about we first go to..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Luna suddenly slapped her small hand, covered in sulfur dust, against his hand.
The moment the Ice Soul Pearl made contact with the Black Market Contract, twelve Messenger Falcons flew in from the alleyway, each carrying an urgent letter sealed with the Emerald Manor's Huo Qi.
The infant looked at their father's suddenly pale face and stuffed the last Ruby Fragment into his trembling palm.
The morning mist suddenly transformed into fine snow, forming a flickering ring of ice crystals around the Defensive Formation.
The Bronze Gate Ring became coated with Ice Shards on Leonard's eighth knock. Luna burped softly on his shoulder, and twelve Ice Spike Darts spun out from her hair tips, scattering tiny rainbows.
The Alchemist's Golden Oak Door was charred by sulfur fumes, and blue-violet smoke seeping from the door gap coalesced into a skeletal shape in the morning light.
"Last year he poured molten lava lizards' Black Slime into a debtor's boots," Leonard said, prodding at the peeling Defensive Rune on the door frame with his staff adorned with a Griffin Emblem. "Last month, the tax officer's wig was burned to ashes."
Luna suddenly grabbed her father's flowing silver hair and began to braid it into Xiao Bian. The infant's Xing Hui seeped into the Contract Mark on the back of his neck through his hair.
As the tenth ray of morning light swept across the door frame, she abruptly slapped her milk-stained little hand against the charred door panel.
Ice crystals spread along the Sulfur Scorch Mark, forming a Spider Web as a brittle crack echoed from within as a Crystal Vessel shattered.
"Who is destroying my Transmutation Circle!" The hoarse Ailya's Roar shook the eaves, and a face covered in fire sores peeked out from the Door Gap.
The old Alchemist Morton adjusted his Mechanical Eye to focus on Luna, sparks suddenly flying from the gears. "Come to collect debts with a baby in tow? Has the Magic Castle become so poor that it can't afford a Dragon Blood Knight?"
Luna curled up in her Father's neck, blinking her eyes as ice crystals clung to her eyelashes and fell like snowflakes.
Suddenly, she blew a stream of bubbles toward the Mechanical Eye, each bubble containing a Frost Rose Petal.
When the tenth bubble collided with the gears, Morton's Mechanical Arm uncontrollably presented a Candy Box inlaid with moonstone.
"Do... you want some candy?" The old Alchemist forced a smile through gritted teeth, while the tracking Curse in his Mechanical Eye secretly scanned the Ice Soul Pearl on Luna's ankle.
As he stepped aside to make way, the Flame Puppet hidden behind the door suddenly melted into a harmless puddle of Xue Shui.
Leonard stepped over the threshold and crushed a squirming Lava Soul Insect Egg beneath the Peacock Stone Tiles. Luna suddenly tugged at his Ice Wolf Fur decoration.
Tears from the baby crystallized in mid-air into Ice Crystal Butterflies, fluttering down onto a dusty Bronze box on the display shelf.
"Watch out, little ancestor!" Morton accidentally knocked over a Silver Cauldron filled with Liquid Magic Crystal, spilling the scalding solution toward Luna's swaddling.
Twelve Ice Spike Darts instantly wove into a Defense Formation, but upon contact with the solution, Shan Na turned Deep Purple—this was clearly a Black Market Forbidden Drug capable of corroding magic power.
Luna pouted as if about to cry, but the Xing Hui in her hair automatically pulled the Defense Formation over Morton's Mechanical Leg.
As the Ice Spike began to devour the Defensive Rune on the gears, she suddenly pointed at a painting of the Goddess of Flame on the wall and called out Yi Ya.
The Ruby Scepter held by the goddess in the painting now revealed the intricate patterns of the Sealing Array from the Magic Castle Treasury under the refracted light of ice crystals.
"Debt Clearing." Leonard unfurled the blood-stained parchment, but his peripheral vision caught Luna secretly using her saliva to melt the Bing Hua on the windowsill.
Morton's Mechanical Hand suddenly twitched and swung toward the Baby Basket where Luna was, but it got entangled in the joints by the Ice Silk swaddling cloth just three inches away.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna grasped the wavering finger of the Mechanical Hand and, with a laugh, stuffed the Ice Soul Pearl into the gap of its gears.
As the deep blue light filled the entire Mechanical Arm, a safe in the corner suddenly popped open, revealing Moonstone Raw Ore wrapped in Dragonhide inside.
"These... these are the client's deposit!" Morton's Mechanical Eye spun wildly as a Fire Centipede suddenly emerged from his Left Arm's sleeve.
However, Luna had already pressed her finger, which smelled of Milk Fragrance, against the centipede's Tentacles. With her innocent smile, the centipede instantly froze into an Ice Sculpture ornament.
Taking advantage of the moment, Leonard wrapped the Moonstone in a Contract Scroll, unaware that Luna was staring blankly at the glowing Contract Mark on the back of his neck.
At that moment, the Astrolabe in Morton Laboratory projected a Blood Moon Phantom, concealing the secrets hidden deep within Luna's Pupil under a Crimson Halo.
As the last piece of Moonstone was loaded onto the cart, Luna suddenly began to play with the Bronze box "gifted" by Morton.
Seemingly casually, she scraped off a rust spot from one corner of the box, revealing a Starry Array eroded by Black Magic beneath it.
