Chapter 379 – 379. Magic Stone (3)
"I never knew there was a pattern like this here, Miss. Even though I've been in and out of this room for hundreds of years."
"Why am I only seeing it now?" Zhou said, frowning.
"Did your ancestors leave things or the like with that form?" Xue Ning asked the man.
Fu Xie Lan who wanted to ask the same thing was silent again because she had been represented by the girl.
"No, Miss. I never heard anything like what you said," Zhou replied immediately.
"Is that true?"
Suddenly the sound of stones falling to the floor was heard. It was Xue Ning's magic stone that she had picked up a moment ago, two magic stones of different shapes and colors. One stone with a shape that is not too perfect but resembles a crescent moon, while the other stone is round, a very ordinary shape but has a color that is soothing to the eye when viewed.
"Ah, I'm sorry," Xue Ning said as she grabbed the magic stone that had accidentally slipped from her hand.
Fu Xie Lan who saw Xue Ning's magic stone furrowed her brows, her brows furrowed too as if she was thinking about something.
"There might be a magic stone in this room that has a shape resembling that pattern," she muttered to herself, but her voice was still able to reach the ears of Zhou, Xue Ning, and the others.
Instantly they all had the same thought.
"Should we look for it?" Xue Ning asked again turning her gaze to where Zhou was.
"But Miss, we don't know how and what this pattern means. What if our efforts end up in vain?" Zhou replied.
"We won't know until we try," Fu Xie Lan chimed in.
"All right, Miss."
Xue Ning and the others vaguely confirmed Fu Xie Lan's words regarding another room behind the wall. Could be the pattern in front of them is the key to entering the room, right?
Soon they all scattered again, looking for the star-shaped stone like the pattern on the wall.
Until a few minutes have passed. They had found many star-shaped magic stones but none of them was the right size. Even so, they all did not give up one bit and kept looking, from one glass case to another.
Until leaving only a glass box containing stones with irregular shapes.
A rough sigh escaped from between Xue Ning's lips.
"There is no magic stone shaped like that, how about this? Is it somewhere else?" said the girl.
"There is no other place, Miss. Only here."
Fu Xie Lan who heard the conversation of the two figures was silent. Her attention had been focused on the glass case that had not been touched by them.
Now and then her forehead looks wrinkled then returns to normal like someone who is thinking hard.
And all of that did not go unnoticed by Wan Lie. "What's wrong Xie Lan? Is something bothering you?" Asked the man making everyone immediately turn to the girl was.
Ignoring Wan Lie's question, Fu Xie Lan slowly approached the glass case that had been distracting her from earlier.
Those who saw it were just confused, could not guess what the girl would do.
"Zhao," Fu Xie Lan called out to the man without taking her eyes off the glass case in front of her.
"Yes, Miss."
"May I open this glass case?" she asked then.
"Of course, Miss."
"Even if you want all those magic stones, that's fine," he added.
Hearing Zhou's answer, Fu Xie Lan just nodded then with a slow motion, she opened the lid of the glass box and took out six stones from inside, then placed them on top of the box.
"Xie Lan you like that magic stone?" asked Xue Ning approaching.
But just as she finished her sentence, she stopped in her tracks. The others continued to walk towards Fu Xie Lan, but when there were only a few steps left, they did the same with Xue Ning.
Fu Xie Lan arranged the magic stones there, seeming to match one another. Until finally a star-shaped magic stone was created.
An extremely faint light emerged from between the magic stones that Fu Xie Lan had put together.
Seconds later, the stone that seemed irregular before now had the shape of a star with an entirely white color, appearing to glisten slightly when hit by the reflected light.
"Xie-Xie Lan….this?" Xue Ning stuttered seeing what was happening.
The corners of Fu Xie Lan's lips lifted faintly. Perhaps the magic stone in front of her was the key to entering the room.
"Let's give it a try," she said, ignoring what they all said and looking at her.
Fu Xie Lan grabbed the magic stone then walked over to the wall not far behind her.
Of course, the others followed closely behind.
Slowly but surely, Fu Xie Lan pointed the magic stone at the pattern in front of her.
And….. SUITABLE!
The magic stone had a size that matched the pattern, seemed to merge and cover the hollow so that it had an even surface with the wall surface.
Instantly everyone held their breath, waiting for what would happen next.
One second…
Two seconds…
Three seconds…
Suddenly the wall in front of them shook, making everyone immediately take a few steps back away from the wall.
Slowly but surely, the wall in front of them shifted, creating dust that immediately charged.
However, all of them didn't blink a bit, waiting patiently for what would greet them next.
Only a few minutes later, the wall stopped, and there was a door there.
Fu Xie Lan then approached.
"Xie Lan…."
Again the girl ignored Xue Ning's call and continued to approach it.
Turned the doorknob and….opened it.
Immediately the girl went inside, it was dark and there was no light at all.
"Use this Xie Lan," Xue Ning said handing the light grass that had just been taken out of her cosmic bag.
"Thank you," Fu Xie Lan replied reaching for the glowing plant.
Fu Xie Lan continued to walk into the room, followed by Zhou and the others.
Musty, and smells of dust, that is the first impression when you set foot in there.
Fu Xie Lan saw the entire room, she freeze on the spot.
It's over there! The ruby star stone was not far from her.
Not only that, but they also found some magic items in there, and it made everyone wonder.
"Why is there a magic item here?" Xue Ning said. The girl then approached and grabbed one of the ring-shaped magic items lying on the shelf in front of her.
"Zolyrous," she muttered, reading the small engraving on the inside of the ring.
Fu Xie Lan who heard Xue Ning's mutter staggered backward, suddenly her head throbbed in pain.. Luckily Wan Lie immediately caught his mother's body before it fell.
