Chapter Ninety-Four: Only a Part
This time Emma is no longer cautious, and if she wants to replace the magic of another witch, she must use stronger magic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She poured all her magic into the lid, and the two magic powers collided together to make a screeching sound, and the blue light became more and more intense, and Emma knew that she was at a disadvantage, so she asked Riley to help.
Riley didn't know how to enchant it, so he treated the box as a wounded person who needed to be treated, using as much magic as he could.
As the two of them flanked, the original magic gradually faded, and finally the lid loosened under the glow of a blue light.
"Finally opened. York exclaimed first.
"Put it on the table first, be careful. "Leon asked Emma to put it down, what an unknown witch left behind, it should be handled with caution, after all, there are too many bad deeds about witches in history, and some of them must have real evidence.
The box was placed on the table, and York slowly reached over to remove the lid. He wasn't worried at all, with Riley by his side, there was no problem with any injuries.
The moment the lid was opened, everyone was speechless.
Because inside is a much smaller box.
"No, there's another one. "York was a little angry, hiding something so complicated, if it was still a box inside, he would have smashed it with a sledgehammer.
Emma also expressed her helplessness, since there is another one, it would be good to do it again.
The magic on the lid was dispelled by the two, and she let it go.
York took a breath and removed the lid directly.
Inside the box was a small piece of fabric, neatly folded, and it looked like something was wrapped.
Everyone looked at each other, did they hide a piece of cloth?
York took the fabric out and felt that there was something inside, and the fabric couldn't have been so heavy.
He pinched the fabric and lifted it up, and the contents fell down the edge onto the table.
A square sign.
"What is this?" everyone looked closer, but they didn't understand.
It's a strange sign, all blue-black, with strange carvings on one side and a long core on the other.
Leon picked up the fabric and looked at it carefully, it was ordinary cotton to the touch, and there was nothing written on it, it should be used for wrapping.
The box was empty, except for a strange sign.
York picked up the sign and flipped it over, shook his head and handed it to Emma, then to Riley, and finally to the Prince.
Leon also looked closely, and accidentally slid his fingers upward, and found that the core could move. He slowly pushed upwards, and the core followed upwards, and finally stuck on the top.
"It looks a bit like a key, but it's a strange key, what kind of door needs it?" said York, pointing to the sign. Every large nobleman had a steward in his house, and they always had a large set of keys around their waists, and York had seen a few, but had never seen anything like this.
"I'll just say it's not a precious thing, it's probably the key to the castle, and the witch hid a key inside the wall to avoid being locked out. Emma sighed, it took so much effort to get a key, I don't know what they thought, anyway, Emma felt very disappointed.
"It's just a key, do you need to hide it so complicatedly? If you want to open the door, you have to prepare a hammer first, wouldn't that be even more noticeable. York felt that what Emma said was unreasonable, besides, it was impossible for all the people in the castle to leave, even if the administrator left, there would be a butler, and the butler would be absent and the guards would be there, in short, there would be people all day long.
"Okay, so what do you say it is?" asked Emma, pointing to the sign.
"I don't know. York flattened his mouth, and it wasn't his fault that he couldn't say it.
Riley was secretly worried on the side, the two of them quarreled at every turn, and they didn't know when the conflict arose. I had to find a time to talk to the prince and let him reconcile the misunderstanding between the two.
Leon didn't have time to worry about the two of them. He took the key and pondered repeatedly, this key would definitely not be the castle's, there were only a few doors here, he had a general impression of what the key looked like, and in addition, its appearance and structure were also the first time he had seen it.
He slid the key back on, and the whole thing turned into a square sign again.
On the other side of the sign is a strange pattern, which looks familiar, but I can't tell it.
"York, take a closer look and see if the carving on it is a little familiar. Leon handed it to the knight, and the two of them might have a quicker result with their brains.
"It's a little familiar. York was looking backwards, and had already touched a little corner, but he couldn't remember the final appearance.
"Show me. Emma was intrigued and reached out to grab the sign.
She and Riley studied it together.
The Executive Hall was rarely quiet, and everyone fell into deep thought.
"Your Highness, dinner is ready. At this time, the maid came in and preached.
"Good. "I can't think of it, everyone can't go hungry, so Leon asked everyone to eat first and then use their brains.
Just as Riley was getting up, she spotted a clue.
"Your Highness, this could be the map. Riley said immediately. She relied on a map on the wall of the Executive Hall, with signs that resembled the signs on them.
After her reminder, the prince and the knight finally remembered, and it was no wonder that they felt familiar.
To test this claim, Leon hastened to bring ink and paper.
The sign was stained with ink and covered with paper, and when I opened it, it was a map, but it was a fragmented map, from which you could see the signs of mountains and trees, and there seemed to be a river passing through the lower right corner, but in the case of mutilation, it was not possible to be sure.
"Is this a treasure map?" York's first thought was about treasure, and historically some people liked to hide their wealth and leave some clues, and these treasure hunting stories have been circulated on the mainland.
"Probably not, a witch left the key, and it stayed in Ravenwood, if it was a treasure map, why did she stay. "Leon has a different opinion, this witch should be related to the administrator of the town, then her family should not be too good, people with such status will not have much wealth, if you find a treasure map, you should also try your luck to find it.
The map was incomplete, and she probably couldn't find it, so she had to hide it. York still insisted that it was a treasure map.
"Perhaps. We don't have any other clues, just this key and a broken map, but I think there are other keys that can be put together in the end. Leon wiped the sign clean, saying that no matter how much it was, it was just speculation, and there was no clue to tell them more information.
"It looks like it's been a busy day. "York was disappointed, and the mood of the day was ruined.
