Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the fragment in his pocket. The fragment didn't seem like it was from armor or a construct; it was too thick and flat. Besides, there was no Alchemist among the fairies.
While he was contemplating, Daisy had already walked into the darkness. "Brother Ade?" Gita asked softly.
Fang Hong nodded. He had been panicking and lost his way in the complex underground passage long ago. Since Lady Cat was willing to guide them, he was curious to see where it would take them.
In fact, he was also curious why Daisy insisted on bringing them to this place. Thinking back, perhaps it wasn't a coincidence that this cat appeared on their ship.
But as to why it showed up there, Fang Hong wasn't sure. He could only guess that it might be due to the Rogsel family bloodline inheritance.
Though this reason seemed a bit far-fetched.
Daisy walked ahead with its tail up, not too far or too close, right at the edge of the Illumination Crystal's light. Watching its back, Fang Hong asked about the vampire.
He suspected that the vampire had already died outside the secret chamber, leaving the Attendant's Crest behind. But how it died was a mystery to him.
Gita listened to his question and answered quietly, "I'm not really sure either..."
"When the vampire caught me, I was so scared that I couldn't think of anything... I just knew it brought me back to that room and into the passage..."
"When I came to my senses, I heard it scream and fall to the ground... Then I saw Miss Daisy jump down from it."
"It was writhing on the ground. I was extremely frightened but couldn't think of any spell to deal with it."
"That's when Miss Daisy suddenly started circling in front of me, signaling me to follow it. Then it walked to a rock wall and disappeared behind it..."
"That's how I entered this place... Is that vampire dead?"
Her tone was still a bit incredulous.
Despite Gita's stammering, Fang Hong understood that Daisy seemed to have some ability to trigger the spell on the rock wall, leading Gita to this place.
But he was curious about why he could do it due to his Rogsel family bloodline inheritance. What was the reason that Lady Cat could freely enter and exit the rock wall?
And how did it manage to kill that vampire?
According to Gita's description, Daisy merely jumped onto the vampire, and it screamed and collapsed. Although it wasn't dead at that moment, later, it was indeed found dead at that place.
Even if the vampire was seriously injured, it couldn't have died just from a cat's touch, right? It was a level twenty-something undead creature. Even in a face-to-face confrontation, he might not have been able to defeat it one-on-one. Did this mean he was not even as capable as a cat?
Fang Hong glanced oddly at Lady Cat ahead.
But as Gita mentioned, the cat had some ability to avoid those strange shadows. On their journey, Fang Hong hadn't heard his Magic Guided Reactor make any 'clacking' noise, indicating there weren't any 'Dragon Shadows' nearby.
Fang Hong suddenly considered a possibility—
Maybe it wasn't Daisy who could avoid those strange shadows, but rather those things didn't dare approach it. When Miss Tata and he avoided those shadows earlier, it was because they chose to turn back upon reaching Gita.
However, this possibility was so unbelievable that even Fang Hong found it hard to believe after a brief thought.
The cave returned to silence, leaving only the sound of the two's breathing.
After asking the previous questions, Fang Hong didn't speak again, although he was filled with doubts. As they continued walking, with Daisy leading the way, she suddenly stopped.
Fang Hong was startled to realize they had entered a natural cave.
Like other passageways, the cave was adorned with crystals—only these crystals were empty and pitch black, without a hint of internal light. It was as though the magic power they contained had long been drained, leaving just an empty shell of crystal.
However, the most eye-catching thing was not these crystals.
It was the grooves on the floor of the cave. These grooves and patterns intertwined, forming a design similar to the array outside but much more intact.
Fang Hong vaguely felt he had seen this array somewhere before—but not outside.
He lifted his head, watching the lines extend forward, guiding them to a single direction. They held up an Illumination Crystal, walking towards the center of the cave, with the light stretching towards a stone altar coming into view.
As soon as they saw the altar, Daisy circled them, briefly rubbing against Fang Hong before gracefully walking to the edge of the stone platform. It turned back, looking at them with sapphire-like eyes.
The moment Fang Hong saw this stone altar, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this array before.
It was beneath the Dolifen Grand Temple.
There was an identical array there, and in the array's center, there was a similar altar. On that altar lay Hes's corpse silently, with a curved dagger embedded in her chest, blood spilling across the altar.
