As the morning light penetrated the air vent, Leonard's Starry Rose suddenly unfurled its seventh petal.
He casually tossed aside the cloak Qin Si offered, allowing Han Qi's Ice Crystal Sword to form Frost Flowers within the carriage. "It's just a trip to Emerald City for some herbs; it feels more like an expedition."
Aelia tightened the swaddling around Luna, the embroidered Purification Spell sash brushing against her husband's Gold Dust sleeve.
The Blue Wisteria Emblem that had emerged on the altar last night still pierced her nerves—Twenty Years Ago, when they married, the Marriage Contract was clearly embroidered with Starry Moon Vine on a Silver Thread Scroll.
"Madam, watch your step." Qin Si steadied Aelia's trembling elbow and caught sight of Che Yuan, where Third Young Master Lucius was polishing an Astrolabe.
The instrument's Three Degrees offset in the Northeast Corner perfectly matched the Zhen Chan frequency of the cellar prison, but at that moment, everyone's attention was drawn to Luna's sudden loud cry.
"The Horse-drawn Carriage made of Demon Pattern Steel is stuck?" Second Brother struck the wheel with his silver Pocket Watch, and suddenly, Ice Cracks erupted from the Amethyst set in the Watch Case given by a dear friend.
Eldest Brother maneuvered his Wheelchair forward; his fingertip had yet to touch the axle when his right hand lit up with a Healing Spell's Green Light due to Magic Backlash and Ailina's Burn—that strange pattern drawn with Luna's saliva during her full moon.
Luna gripped Jian Sui tightly amidst the bumps, and the Ice Crystal Sword suddenly reversed direction, stabbing into thin air.
Everyone stared in shock as a half Bluebell totem emerged from the air pierced by the Sword Tip, creating a bizarre Resonance with Leonard's brooch from that morning.
Brother San held a Magic Tome, flipping to page three hundred, which contained chapters on Charming Fox Grass, Secret Script, and Star Chart Curse.
"It's just a Geomancy fluctuation." Leonard brushed off the Starlight Powder that had settled on his shoulder but failed to notice that Gold Dust was flowing along his garment towards Luna's swaddling.
The Malachite fragment hanging around the baby's neck suddenly grew hot; last night’s White Jade Pillar Totem from the crack in the cellar wall flickered into view on the stone.
As the convoy reached Duanxing Bridge, Luna suddenly pressed her saliva-dampened fist against the carriage wall.
The once calm river surface suddenly erupted with twelve columns of water, each swirling with the shattered remnants of last night's Moonlight Wine Rune.
Eldest Brother's wheelchair abruptly turned, and the Healing Spell Culture entwined around Second Brother, who was nearly falling into the river.
"Stop!" Aelia's Leonard's Sword instinctively severed the gold dust clinging to Brother San's sleeve, causing the particles to fall and reassemble into the Charming Fox Grass pattern on the Outer Room Handkerchief.
Luna laughed as she patted the swaddled bundle, unaware that the Star Trail in her eyes was synchronously shifting with the Astrolabe in the Northeast.
As Brother San bent down to pick up the scattered Grimoire, he suddenly noticed that on the vines formed by Eldest Brother's Healing Magic, bluebells were blooming—flowers that should only blossom in midsummer.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on the old parchment inscribed with "Talent Misguidance," feeling the heat radiating from his neglected Cultivation Notebook within his bag.
Aelia's skirt hem, embroidered with a Silver Thread Pattern, brushed against Che Yuan. Brother San and Kleister stared at that fleeting light, suddenly reminded of how he had thrown "Elemental Resonance Theory" into the fireplace at fifteen.
At this moment, the Blue Wisteria Vines on Eldest Brother's wheelchair were oozing Xing Lu, and those glistening seven-colored dewdrops fell onto the copper nails of a horse-drawn carriage, producing a crisp sound reminiscent of magic crystal stones colliding.
"Do you need help organizing your Grimoire?" Lucius's voice suddenly rang out from behind. Startled, Brother San's hand trembled, and the parchment inscribed with "Talent Misguidance" fluttered down beside Qin Si's Xiu Xie.
As the seventeen-year-old boy bent down, his waist Astrological Compass reflected the Purification Rune dancing on Aelia's Leonard's Sword.
Luna suddenly let out a short Yiya sound, her little hand covered in saliva patting the malachite on the swaddled bundle.
Kleister realized that his Cultivation Notebook was heating up inside his bag; the edges of the Magic Circle he had doodled with Luna were seeping light gold and Liuguang—just like last night's White Jade Totem from the cellar's crack.
"Third Young Master Lucius, watch out!" Qin Si suddenly grabbed Lucius by his belt as the Astrolabe in the boy's arms barely grazed the Demon Pattern Steel near Che Yuan.
The three degrees of deviation from the instrument in the Northeast Corner refracted strange light spots under the sun, perfectly casting onto Leonard's Blue Jacaranda Brooch on his chest.
The Lord suddenly tightened the reins, and a purple mist infused with the scent of wine surged from beneath the shattered bluestone slabs.
The Second Brother's pocket watch emitted a buzzing sound, and purple crystal fragments on the dial formed half a Charming Fox Grass.
Aelia's Jian Sui moved without wind, and the powdered patterns that had been severed began to reassemble on the surface of Luna's swaddling blanket.
The baby suddenly laughed and blew out a bubble, which wrapped around an Amethyst fragment and quickly transformed into an exquisite Lunar Pendant that landed in the Second Brother's palm.
"Geomancy fluctuations can actually reorganize the structure of Magic Crystals?" The eldest brother, Algernon, turned his wheelchair closer, his right hand, entwined with Healing Vines, lightly touched a Jade Pendant.
The Bluebell wrapped around his wrist suddenly unfurled its petals, and fine pollen drifted onto Kleister's Grimoire—those Magic Formulas previously deemed Misconceptions began to self-correct.
Luna kicked her little pink feet, and as drool marked the wall of the carriage, the entire Horse-drawn Carriage was suddenly enveloped in a pale blue halo.
Leonard's brooch, adorned with a Bluebell, spun wildly but was engulfed by a sudden surge of Starlight Powder just as it was about to detach from its metallic base.
The Lord frowned as he brushed off the Gold Dust from his cloak, unaware that Stardust was seeping into Luna's golden hair through the gap in her swaddling blanket.
"Let me handle this." Lucius suddenly squeezed between the servants carrying supplies, awkwardly lifting a wooden box filled with Moonlight Wine.
As he passed by Aelia, he deliberately aimed his Astrolabe toward the swaddling direction. The instrument's surface suddenly emerged with seven overlapping Star Trails—perfectly matching the Projection at the cellar altar on Luna's full moon day.
Kleister quietly clenched the Shou Zha in his bundle; those neglected Cultivation Notes were radiating a scorching temperature.
When his brother's Healing Vines bloomed Bluebells once more, he noticed that Algernon’s right hand, affected by Magic Backlash and Ailina's Burn, regained its color under the reflection of the petals—just like three years ago when he had intentionally knocked over a Magic Potion to ruin that Reverse Healing Array.
Luna suddenly let out a kitten-like sob, her little hand dusted with Stardust grasping Aelia's Pearl Necklace.
As the matriarch lowered her head, the infant's neck suddenly reflected an illusory scene: twenty-year-old Aelia stood before an altar adorned with Starry Moon Vines, while on the back of the Marriage Contract Scroll, a dark pattern clearly concealed half of a Bluebell mark.
"The Third Young Master's Grimoire..." Qin Si gasped softly, as the Grimoire in Kleister's arms opened on its own to the chapter detailing Talent Misguidance.
The passages he had altered began to seep a silver-white liquid, gradually coalescing into the Healing Spell drawn on his elder brother Palm during the full moon.
The Young Mage felt his heart tighten as if gripped by something; those theories of Magic Resonance he had deliberately forgotten surged forth from the depths of his memory.
Lucius wiped the surface of the Astrolabe, suddenly noticing that a Blue Jacaranda Petal was caught in the instrument's base, Ankeli.
As he attempted to dislodge it with his cufflink, the Three Degrees in the Northeast Corner emitted a buzzing sound—perfectly synchronized with the vibration frequency coming from the Cellar.
The young man looked up towards the Lord's direction, where Leonard's Gem Brooch refracted an eerie Zi Mang in the morning light.
"Everyone, prepare!" The Lord suddenly raised his whip, and the Ice Crystal Sword traced a sharp arc through the air.
In the severed morning mist emerged countless delicate patterns of Charming Fox Grass, which shattered into stardust at Luna's loud cry.
Aelia calmly positioned Leonard's Sword across her knees, its blade reflecting the purple pollen stained on her husband's cloak—the same substance that had seeped from the crack in the Cellar last night.
As the first rays of sunlight climbed over the ruins of Duanxing Bridge, Leonard pulled on the reins to turn his horse around.
The cold gleam of the Ice Crystal Sword swept across the convoy but transformed into a warm current upon touching Luna's swaddling.
The Lord failed to notice that several strands of golden hair, shimmering with light, had somehow wrapped around his steed's horseshoe. These strands resonated subtly with the Cultivation Notebook tucked within Third Young Master Lucius's bundle.
Leonard's black cloak fluttered in Chen Feng, while the Ice Crystal Sword hummed softly in its sheath as they rode.
He raised his hand to brush over the Blue Jacaranda Brooch on his chest, and suddenly, the metal base erupted with Xing Huo, burning his fingertip. This magic accessory, meant to be presented to Aelia during their wedding ceremony twenty years ago, now clashed violently with the glowing malachite that leaked from the swaddling cloth.
"The barrier waves of the Magic Castle are three times more chaotic than usual." Second Brother Adrian tightened his grip on the pocket watch, the Amethyst Pendant leaving a red mark shaped like Charming Fox Grass on his palm.
He gazed at the towering North Tower, which had once been a secret base for him and his dear friend to study Astrology Magic. Now, the window lattice was overrun with Blue Wisteria Vines, visibly eroding the Protective Spell.
Inside the carriage, Aelia's Pearl Necklace suddenly shimmered with a moon-white halo.
Luna reached out her small hand to grasp the shining beads, and the Purification Spell on her swaddling cloth immediately resonated with the necklace.
As the lady bent down to kiss her baby's head, she suddenly noticed that the stardust entwined in her daughter's golden hair was strikingly similar to the substance that seeped from last night's cellar crack.
"Madam, Third Young Master's Grimoire..." At the moment Qin Si lifted the carriage curtain, a parchment flew out from Kleister's bundle and hovered in midair.
The heavily altered Magic Formula automatically restructured itself, casting a three-dimensional rune array in the sunlight that perfectly enveloped Leonard's mount.
The lord abruptly tightened the reins, causing his warhorse to neigh and stomp, shattering the light and shadow suspended in the air.
Luna suddenly let out a clear laugh, her saliva-coated fingers poking at the dissipating runes.
Those fragments transformed into star-like Ying Huo bugs, diving into the Magic Crystal groove of her elder brother Algernon's wheelchair armrest.
Blue Wisteria Vines suddenly grew wildly from beneath the wheelchair, their branches climbing up Adrian's robe and startling him awake from his gaze fixed on the fluctuations of the Magic Fortress Barrier.
"Kleister, perhaps your Elemental Resonance Theory needs an update." Algernon turned his wheelchair closer to Third Brother, lightly tapping the floating parchment with his right hand entwined in Healing Vines.
The originally shattered runes began to reassemble in midair, morphing into a strange pattern that Luna had drawn during a full moon—this pattern now resonated with the protective shield of the Magic Castle's North Tower.
Brother San's ears suddenly burned with heat, and the scene of deliberately burning the "Elemental Resonance Theory" during his youth flashed in his mind.
Compelled by an unseen force, he bit into his fingertip, sending a droplet of blood spiraling into the floating runes above.
The moment the blood touched the Magic Patterns, all the Cultivation Notebooks in his bag unfolded into the air, and those neglected notes began to automatically write new Spells.
Leonard's Leonard's Sword suddenly emitted a Zhen Chan akin to Longyin, and the Ice Crystal embedded in the hilt burst forth with Ice Cracks.
Lord angrily swung his sword at the swirling Parchments in the air, only to have his wrist entangled by Aelia's Jian Sui.
Luna, cradled in her mistress's arms, seized the Liu Su on Father Jian Qiao. Suddenly, fragments of Malachite projected an illusory scene of Leonard's Last Night—Twenty Years Ago—during a Wedding Ceremony, where the Young Lord was handing a Silver Thread Scroll embroidered with Bluebell to the Masked Witch.
"Everyone, move out!" Leonard shouted fiercely as the Ice Crystal Sword cleaved through the morning mist.
The severed fog coalesced into Ice Blades that rushed toward the Horse-drawn Carriage but melted into rain scented with wine upon touching the swaddled infant.
Adrian's Pocket Watch suddenly buzzed, and the Amethyst Pendant refracted the icy rain into countless tiny Light Arrows that accurately shattered the last remaining Protective Rune on the North Tower's Window Lattice.
Amid Luna's Loud Cry, Kleister suddenly snatched the Astrolabe from Lucius's arms.
The Young Mage aimed the instrument toward the prison direction in the Northeast Corner of Magic Castle. The Pointer on the Three Degrees disk spun wildly before finally settling on an ancient rune symbolizing the "Bloodline Curse."
A burst of golden light erupted from the bag containing Shou Zha, and those automatically written Spells perfectly aligned with the Astrolabe's Projection.
"The Earth Vein Resonance frequency has increased by seventeen percent." Algernon's Wheelchair turned automatically, and Bluebell on the Healing Vines suddenly wilted, its petals transforming into Liuguang that infused Third Brother's Astrolabe.
Kleister felt his Temples throb; the scent of Resonance potion he had deliberately spilled at thirteen years old suddenly revived in his nostrils—identical to that of Zi Wu emanating from the Magic Castle Cellar at this moment.
Aelia's Pearl Necklace suddenly broke, and the shimmering beads rolled onto Luna's cradle.
The baby excitedly waved her arms, and each pearl that touched Malachite burst forth with the Starry Moon Vine totem.
As the matriarch bent down to pick them up, she unexpectedly discovered a Blue Jacaranda Petal stuck in the Gap beneath the carriage—exactly the piece that could complete the flower found by Lucius in the Astrolabe's Dark Compartment.
When the convoy passed over the remnants of Duanxing Bridge, a Bluebell from Leonard's brooch suddenly detached from its Base and exploded into Purple Powder in midair.
The sweet Cedar Fragrance of Stardust drifted toward the Magic Castle but was entirely captured by the Rainbow bubbles blown by Luna along the way.
The baby laughed, clapping at the cluster of bubbles, each bursting liquid sphere revealing the White Jade Totem on the walls of the Cellar prison.
"Algernon, it seems your Healing Magic has broken through its bottleneck?" Kleister suddenly spoke, his Fingertip still tinged with the Coldness of the Astrolabe's metal shell.
He pretended to organize Shou Zha in his bundle while secretly slipping the automatically generated "Talent Misguidance Correction Formula" into his older brother's Wheelchair storage bag.
Those glimmering Tiny Inscriptions were gnawing away at the cognitive barriers he had stubbornly etched in his youth.
The sound of the Wheelchair rolling over cobblestones abruptly halted as Algernon raised his now rosy right hand. The Blue Wisteria Vines blossomed three times in his Palm: "Perhaps we should revisit 'Magic Resonance's Enhancement Effect on Healing Spells'—just like that paper you wrote at twelve that your mentor tossed into the fireplace."
As Duanxing Bridge's Residual Shadow shrank into a Light Spot in the rearview mirror, Luna suddenly kicked her Stardust-covered Little Feet against the roof of the carriage.
Malachite shards blurred together to recreate Leonard's Last Night: Twenty Years Ago, Leonard was drawing a certain Taboo magic circle in the Cellar, while in the background flashed the Masked Witch and Leonard's Bluebell necklace, perfectly matching the empty metal Base on Lord's chest at that moment.
As the convoy turned onto the tree-lined avenue toward Emerald City, a Magic Crystal on Algernon's Wheelchair Armrest suddenly emitted a notification sound.
Healing Vines automatically coiled around Kleister’s bundle containing "Advanced Magic Competition Theory," with Yellowed Pages stopping at a chapter titled "Analysis of Resonance System Spells in Practical Applications."
Brother San gazed at the Starlight Grass by the roadside, quietly jotting down a new Formula in the blank spaces of the Grimoire with his cufflink. The golden light shimmering at the edges of those characters resembled Luna's doodles on the wall of the Cellar from last night.
The morning mist wrapped around the cool fragrance of Wisteria flowers as it drifted over the Stone Steps of the Magic Castle, where sixteen Gilded Chariots stood arranged in the courtyard.
Aelia fastened the hidden clasp of her Silver Minks Cloak into Luna's Swaddling, as baby Lan Tong reflected the swirling Star Trail within a crystal ball—an image created by her magical Monitoring Spell from the previous night.
"The West Tower Magic Circle has fluctuated again." The Lady of the Fortress traced her fingertip over the Che Yuan carvings, ice crystals spreading along the Blood Rose Vines to Leonard's feet.
Just as Lord was about to assist his wife, his hand froze mid-air, encased in Frost Flower. The Redbud Zhui Zi embroidered on Leonard's Sword swayed with his movement, causing the hem of his garment to flutter.
The Wheelchair crushed the Magic Firefly Grass sprouting from the Gap in the stone slabs. The open Astrological Chart on his elder brother's lap began to flutter without wind: "The Outer Domain Mage Association delivered an Invitation Card last night." He pressed his Pale fingers against the Yellowed Pages, holding tightly onto a black Obsidian Crystal Weight nestled between them—a Soul Artifact extracted from his second brother's sealed friend, the Unicorn Skeleton, three days ago.
Luna curled her little finger in her swaddling, a wisp of Silver Light rising from the Hot Goat Milk brought by Qin Si, quietly repairing the broken Protective Magic Rune on the Horse-drawn Carriage's chassis.
Brother San toyed with flames in his right hand, their flickering Dark Purple Flame revealing shadows of a past incident where he had accidentally harmed civilians during the Magic Martial Arts Tournament—an injustice fabricated by a tampered Memory Crystal.
"Father truly intends to bring that woman's son into the Elder Council?" The second young master suddenly clenched a Cursed Scroll; the Parchment began to heat up as it bore his friend's blood-drawn Teleportation Circle from before he died.
Leonard's motion of unfastening his cloak sent ripples of Dark Element energy through the air, startling twelve Shadow Ravens that had been peering from under the eaves.
Luna suddenly let out a piercing Loud Cry, sending Sound Waves shattering a Listening Crystal hidden among Lucius's Rosebush a hundred meters away.
Through tear-blurred Water Mist, she saw Crystal Fragments refracting Leonard's Last Night: at the Blood Wedding, Third Young Master Lucius held a Marriage Contract—the very Curse Book that had caused the collapse of the Magic Castle in the Original timeline.
"Let’s set off." Aelia drew her daughter close to her Heart as Shan Na dropped pearls from her hair into the Horse-drawn Carriage, which took flight.
As the luminous pearls fell into the clouds, they exploded into a Defensive Barrier just in time to block Leonard’s attempt to inject a Puppet Curse into the carriage—a Dark Sorcery he had learned last night in Leonard's Concubine's bed.
As the wheels rolled over the shadows cast by the flowing clouds, Luna quietly infused her magic into the items belonging to Three Brothers: the Holy Light Staff sealed within the armrest of Eldest Brother's wheelchair, the Truth Memory Sphere hidden in the Cursed Scroll of Second Brother, and the Phoenix Essence that lay dormant in the flames of Brother San.
The moment the morning light pierced through the clouds, the bell tower at the highest point of Magic Castle collapsed with a thunderous roar, startling a sky full of Albatrosses carrying Hei Yu—a signal that marked the beginning of Mistress's Rebellion in the Original.
The swaddled Great Mage bit her tongue, drawing a bloodied Reversal Spell on Qin Si's Handkerchief.
In the next three months of journeying, it would be enough for her to reorganize the lifeblood of Magic Castle right under everyone's noses. For instance, tonight as they passed through Sighing Canyon, there was that place hiding the First Generation Fortress Master Zhu Mo Jian... In the still-misty courtyard of Magic Castle, twelve Unicorns were scraping at the ground paved with magical stones using their silver hooves.
I lay in Qin Si's arms, my gaze sweeping over Brother San, who was inspecting the Pegasus Car. His clothes were stained with remnants of a Magic Potion, clearly indicating he had been secretly studying those sealed Forbidden Ancient Texts again last night.
"Madam, Third Young Master Lucius insists on bringing these," Qin Si whispered, lifting me slightly from my swaddle.
Aelia raised her finger adorned with the Star Moon Ring, and suddenly three volumes of Golden Ancient Books floated out from Brother San's backpack, igniting into Ashes in the morning light.
"Mother!” The handsome features of Brother San twisted as an eerie Purple Light burst forth from his silver hair.
A pang of anxiety gripped my heart; this was clearly a precursor to a Magic Surge, as recorded in the book "Shadow Revelation."
With no time to think, I bit my tongue and flicked a Blood Pearl towards his Mei Xin.
"Luna!" Aelia cried out, wanting to embrace me but froze in place upon seeing the dissipating Purple Light surrounding Brother San.
Seizing the opportunity, I grabbed her dangling Pearl Necklace, using my remaining blood to draw a Purification Rune on the largest pearl.
"Young Miss, what is this..." The tremor in Qin Si's voice was evident.
I knew they would eventually notice my abnormality, but at this moment, it was far more important to prevent Brother San from coming into contact with those tampered ancient texts—after all, it was because of them that he fell into Dark Magic, ultimately being executed by Leonard.
A sudden sound of shattering crystal echoed through the air.
Second Brother stumbled out, leaning on his Dragonbone Staff, fresh blood seeping from the Dark Red Curse Mark on his neck.
Eldest Brother turned his Wheelchair around the Pillar, his Fingertip still glowing with the remnants of Healing Magic. "Theodore, did you go to Shadow Marsh again last night?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Second Brother swatted Eldest Brother's hand away, slamming the Dragonbone Staff heavily against the Ground. "This family only cares about glory..." Before he could finish, the Communication Crystal at his Waist suddenly lit up, and the voice of his close friend Kelvin came through, choked with tears. "Theo, my sister has been taken by a Black Sorcerer. Please..."
A chill ran down my spine.
In the Original, this S.O.S. was a carefully crafted trap that had drained Second Brother of half his magic power, leaving him crippled.
I wanted to warn Qian Jiao, but what came out was an infant's Loud Cry.
In a moment of desperation, I grabbed Aelia's collar and used my Awareness to channel the magic I retained from my rebirth, writing "trap" in Ancient Elvish Language on her Palm.
Aelia's grip on my arm tightened suddenly, her Emerald Eyes flashing with turmoil.
At that moment, Leonard approached, wrapped around Chen Lu, his Black Cloak still carrying the Iris Fragrance of a Strange Woman.
When he reached out to embrace me, I deliberately released a burst of Colorful Bubbles, containing a glimpse of Leonard's Last Night—his passionate kiss with Leonard's Concubine in the rose garden.
"What kind of trick is this?" Leonard waved away the bubbles, but his face turned ashen.
Aelia's arm around me tightened further; I could feel her heart racing violently.
Yet when she spoke, her voice was eerily calm. "Does Lord not wish to explain the results of last night's patrol of the barrier?"
Suddenly, thunder rumbled from the sky, and the originally clear Morning Sky split open, revealing a scarlet Gap.
Eldest Brother's Wheelchair automatically unfolded a Protective Barrier, Brother San's silver hair floated without wind, and Second Brother's Dragonbone Staff gathered frost at its tip.
I stared at the faintly visible Hexagram Formation within the crack—this was not part of the Original storyline. Could my intervention have triggered an unforeseen variable?
Leonard drew his sword and pointed it at the sky, but the Sword Body suddenly emerged, entwined with the reflection of Leonard's Concubine.
Aelia finally erupted with a cold laugh. She removed the Star Moon Ring and pressed it against my forehead. The ring transformed into starlight and merged into my body. "So the crack in the Magic Fortress Barrier was torn open by the Lord himself."
The Pegasus Car shook violently in the Magic Storm, and I seized the opportunity to immerse my Awareness into the newly acquired Star Moon Ring.
When I saw the sealed Magic Fortress Core Secret Tome within the ring, I finally understood the secret that was left unwritten in the Original—Leonard's Concubine was actually the reincarnation of the Dark Night Witch, sealed by the Aelia Family a hundred years ago!
