Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 408 Gray Moth, Dusk Council, and the Snake of Awakening
"Herkator."

"If we draw Hekator into the Minotaur's endless labyrinth, will we be able to trap him?"

Ronan had this idea a long time ago. The endless maze of the Minotaur could suppress a level seven Twilight warrior like Narroth. Although Hekaltor was level eight or even above level eight at his peak, only a part of his remnant will had been revived now. Even if he obtained a trace of ancient bloodline, it would probably take a long time for him to recover his strength.

What Ronan is unsure of now is how much restriction the Minotaur's Labyrinth will put on Hekart.

After all, he was once the ancient frost overlord. Even if his strength has not been restored, he may still possess all kinds of incredible and treacherous methods.

The last encounter in the foggy space has confirmed this - Hekator not only controls his exact location, but can even ignore certain space and distance restrictions and descend directly!

"According to the rules of the 'Posilina Bet Agreement', I have one chance within ten years to challenge Hekalto, and Hekalto cannot refuse."

“Even after the cooldown period within the rules ends, you can still launch challenges.

But with Hekator's cunning character, he would never step into the same trap twice."

“That is to say, I only have one chance.

If it doesn’t work this time, it will be almost impossible to lure him in the same way next time.”

Ronan's eyes flickered. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to wait until he was promoted to level five and had greater control over the "Mirror of the Void" before considering it.

Ronan collected his thoughts and slowly took out an ancient-looking black square-cornered cowbell from his personal space.

The inherited undead magic tool of the Skeleton Death Bell has a special space inside that can nourish the soul.

Kirsty, now staying inside, was separated from Ahashiya by Ronan.

Kirsty's soul was severely damaged, and her self-consciousness almost collapsed, with only a little indelible obsession supporting her. She couldn't even recognize Ronan, and only responded to the name "Shelby".

"Alazan."

Ronan looked at the cowbell in his hand and called Alazan's name.

The golden ladybug in the consciousness space trembled slightly, transmitting a piece of information to him through its consciousness.

——This is the solution to “treating” Kosti given by Alazan, the master of spiritual studies.

"Can we only use potions and magic circles with the effect of the cowbell to slowly nurture it?"

After reading the solution given by Alazan, Ronan pursed his lips.

Alazan replied in a low voice: "Nursing can only allow her to recover a small part of her shattered self-awareness. She will have to switch to the way of the spirit witch and then slowly repair herself."

"Spiritual Amber?"

Ronan's eyes moved slightly.

"Do not."

Alazan shook his head. "Spiritual Amber is not suitable for her. Among the inheritances of the many witch chiefs in the Hall of All Spirits, there must be a path that is suitable for her to follow."

"So, I will have to go back to the Hall of All Spirits one day?"

"Yes."

Ronan's mind suddenly appeared with the image of Evaqui, and all the things he had experienced in the Hall of Spirits flashed before his eyes quickly.

Ronan took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and said nothing more.

Maybe, I can ask the prophet Eve when I get a chance. She may have a better solution.

The chirping of insects and birds in the early morning came in through the windows, bringing a fresh and lively atmosphere.

Ronan stood quietly in front of the silver French window, the morning light gathering and flowing on his face.

Suddenly, Ronan's calm eyes moved slightly.

"Come in."

A strange sound of metallic resonance came out of his mouth.

The door of the room opened silently behind him, and there were slight footsteps.

When Ronan turned around, he saw Selena standing in front of him.

Today, Selena wore a rose-colored velvet dress with a silver-white silk lining. Although there were not too many decorations, she still looked dignified and beautiful.

"Good morning, Your Majesty."

Selina raised her right hand and gently tapped the bend of her left arm. This is the simplest greeting etiquette among wizards, usually used between people of equal level.

Ronan nodded slightly and glanced at a piece of parchment on the table next to him, which floated lightly in front of Selina.

Selina picked up the parchment and glanced at it briefly, her eyebrows slightly frowned.

Written on the parchment were some materials needed to nurture Costi's soul. Ronan didn't have them, so he left them all to Selena to deal with.

He could sense a hint of dissatisfaction emanating from Selina.

Come to think of it, since I came to the Life Empire, I have not brought any substantial help to Selena so far. Instead, I have "pulled away" an important helper around her - Fumingge, and asked him for things again and again. It is indeed a bit too much.

But Selina said nothing, she just calmly put away the parchment and gently placed a space ring on the table.

"Here are all the remaining things that Your Majesty needs."

"The Soul Shaping Liquid and Soul Shaping Array required for the promotion to level five are also ready. They are the highest grade I can prepare..."

Serena paused for a moment, then continued, "I am here to inform Your Majesty that you can come with me to the Royal Treasury at any time."

Ronan listened quietly to what Selena had to say, and didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly and walked forward.

The light in the entire room changed from bright to dark as he moved.

Selena slightly moved aside to make way for the door, and the two of them walked out of the house one after the other. Ani and some wizards from the Court of Life were already waiting on the lawn outside the door, and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation with each other.

Seeing Ronan and the other man coming out, the two groups saluted them in unison.

Selena stepped forward and gave a simple order to set off, and the group all headed out of the city.

They went all the way out of Firefly Mist City and Selena led the team to land in a valley about thirty kilometers away from Firefly Mist City.

A group of wizards from the Court of Life had already been busy in the valley. A huge magic circle had been set up inside the valley, and the valley was patrolled and guarded by knights in silver-white armor.

"You are building an entrance into the royal treasury?"

Ronan unfolded the [Eye of Truth], looked at the rune array being built in the valley, and asked Selena beside him.

"Correct."

Selina nodded and replied, "It's almost done. Your Majesty, please wait a little longer."

Ronan said nothing, but lowered his head. Gold flowed between his slender fingers, and he played with the titanium casually like teasing a pet snake.

The two of them quietly waited for the formation to be completed. In the slightly dull atmosphere, Ronan suddenly heard Selina speak out of the blue: "Half a month ago, Fumingge suddenly disappeared on the way back to the Elemental Ring.

I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this matter?"

"Oh?"

Ronan's hands did not stop moving, and the titanium made a unique metallic sonata sound between his fingers like a snake's hiss.

"Should I feel happy or sorry for Her Royal Highness?" Ronan answered nonchalantly.

Serena frowned slightly and said in a cold tone: "Before Fumingge disappeared, he sent me a message. Although most of the content was forcibly erased for some reason, I can still piece together the information related to Your Majesty.
And that seemed to be the time when His Majesty was in seclusion and meditation."

The golden melody suddenly stopped. Ronan put down his hand and slowly raised his head. Under the golden gradient dawn mask, his blue eyes narrowed slightly.

Ronan looked at Selina and said softly, "Your Highness, do you suspect me?"

Selena took a breath and said, "I can't think of anyone except you."

"I did it."

Ronan spoke calmly, but Selena was stunned for a moment, unable to utter a word of questioning.

"No one can offend me and survive.

It has been like this before and it will be like this in the future.”

Ronan's eyes moved away from Selina and looked towards the place where many Life Court wizards were busy not far away. He said casually: "Now that Your Highness knows the truth, how are you going to deal with it?"

Serena's face changed and she pursed her lips tightly.

Ronan didn't even look at her, just looked ahead.

After a few breaths, he heard Selina taking a deep breath. The woman was constantly adjusting her emotions.

Finally, Serena spoke again.

"Fuminge poisoned his mentor Goodman's meditation aid potion, causing Goodman to die immediately after failing to reach level 6. He took the opportunity to take over everything from Goodman.
His personality and character are despicable to others, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him completely."

Selina paused, then whispered, "Neither I nor the Elemental Ring will investigate this matter any further."

Ronan turned around with some surprise and looked at Selina.

The latter looked at him calmly.

"I find that I have begun to admire you, your wise Princess Serena."

Ronan sighed and spoke, Selina's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything else.

Half an hourglass passed, and the busy wizards of the Court of Life in the valley finally stopped.

The vine-like rune patterns are densely packed throughout the valley, and between the "vines" are embedded precious magic crystals of all sizes.

Selina took the initiative to walk towards the magic circle, stretched out a hand, and gently cut her fair and delicate wrist.

The bright red blood flowed down the milky skin, but did not drip onto the ground. Instead, guided by a mysterious force, it turned into a fine blood mist and floated towards the center of the magic circle.

Selina uttered the syllables of an ancient spell in a low and rapid voice, and it was impossible to discern the specific meaning. It sounded like some special prayer.

Soon, all the rune light paths that made up the magic circle lit up, strange fluctuations spread from the center of the magic circle, and then a golden red spot lit up, quickly taking root and sprouting, growing upwards like a seed.

In just a few breaths, it grew into a lush little tree. On the branches of the tree, five beautiful leaves with golden and red veins were spread out like little hands.

"call--"

After doing all this, Selena let out a long sigh.

She turned around and looked at Ronan. She looked a little weak and pale, as if the series of operations just now had consumed a lot of her energy.

"Okay."

Ronan nodded and walked up slowly.

Selina stretched out her finger, wanting to touch one of the leaves with golden and red veins on the small tree.

At this moment, Ronan heard a slight "crack" sound.

The voice seemed to come directly from the depths of his soul. His expression changed slightly, and he flipped his hand and subconsciously took out something.

——A striking crack appeared for no reason on a thumb-sized translucent black glass bead. A lifelike gray moth sealed inside the bead seemed to be waking up at this moment, and the tiny antennae on top of its head swayed slightly.

It was the bead that the Prophet Eve gave him before he left.

Ronan's eyes flashed, and at this moment, he heard Selina make a strange "hmm" sound.

Ronan looked up and found that Selena's fingers stopped a few centimeters away from the leaves of the small tree, and there seemed to be a thin layer of water curtain in between.

Circles of transparent ripples spread out from her fingertips, and among the ripples, the vague figures of a group of people appeared.

The leader was a handsome young man with blond hair and green eyes, who looked somewhat similar to Selina. He was dressed elegantly and exuded a natural noble temperament.

Behind him followed a group of people wearing wide black robes with dark yellow sunset patterns on their robes. They were also looking over here through the water curtain.

"Who is this?"

Ronan stared at the handsome young man in the water curtain and asked coldly.

"Edward Alba, one of my three rival brothers..."

Selina replied in a low voice, "If there are more than two heirs of the Alba family bloodline and they open the royal treasury at the same time, there will be such a mutual induction situation."

Ronan said nothing, but gently squeezed the black glass bead in his hand.

The glass bead moved strangely when he saw Edward Alba. Does this mean that the thing that the Prophet Eve needed him to do is related to Edward Alba in front of him?
The handsome young man in the water curtain obviously also noticed them. He smiled coldly at the two of them across the water curtain, then raised his right hand, the ripples in the void scattered, and the scene in the water curtain disappeared.

"I don't know how Edward got the support of the Twilight Council, a super-large wizarding force outside the three empires, and his power ranks among the top three among the six heirs to the throne."

Selina looked at the water curtain disappearing in front of her and spoke with a complicated expression.

Then he continued to point his finger out, and his fingertip touched a leaf of the small tree.

The leaves with golden-red veins trembled slightly, releasing waves of space fluctuations. Then a vortex-shaped space entrance appeared, and Selena walked in first.

Ronan followed Selina into the space.

After entering the space, he unexpectedly discovered that the scene before him was vastly different from the royal treasury he had imagined.

This is a barren desert with an eerie blue color. At first glance, it looks like a frozen ocean.

The free energy particles in the air were extremely thin. Selina stood in the blue desert and said to Ronan: "The five royal treasuries in my hands rank very low among the more than 100 royal treasuries of the Alba family.

This is the emptier and barrenest one, with almost nothing of value left."

It can be seen that Selena is giving him a shot of prevention, hoping that Ronan will not be too disappointed.

Before Ronan could respond, Alazan's reminder came to his mind.

“Damien.

Here is the breath of a living, awake snake!"

Ronan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He no longer paid attention to Selina who was still talking beside him. His body was suspended in the air, his limbs stretched out, and he closed his eyes.

[Star Force Field] penetrated the body, and the spectacle of dozens of invisible stars colliding and moving suddenly appeared. The majestic mental power stirred the void and suddenly spread outward.

In an instant, Ronan's hair and the hem of his platinum robe were all lifted up, and light blue sand tornadoes suddenly appeared on the vast and tranquil blue desert sea.
