"Oh!" Jina's expression turned serious. "I didn't expect that after changing so many masters, it would be you who would unveil this secret in the end. Please place your hand on the fra."
Carl examined the woman in the painting and confird with a spell once more before slowly placing his hand on the fra. Hmm? His eyes shifted slightly. He had held the fra before, but this ti was different. As a Wizard, he instantly felt sothing unusual.
Spatial storage?
With a slight stir of his spiritual power, the woman in the painting, Jina, smiled sweetly and perford an ancient courtesy. Imdiately after, her figure turned into nothingness, and the painting beca a passage to an unknown space. Carl narrowed his eyes. After a brief hesitation, he did not rashly enter but picked up the fra and headed towards the market outside.
「A short while later.」
He opened the fra again and took out a clay Puppet, directing the Puppet towards the passageway. Spiritual power attached to the Puppet allowed him to see everything inside. The spider-shaped Puppet was very agile, crawling through the short passage and arriving at a space of several dozen square ters.
Jackpot! Carl's eyes lit up. Having spatial storage was already rare, and a space of several dozen square ters could be considered a decent Inheritance Witchcraft. Not to speak of the items inside, the storage spaces themselves were already very valuable.
The woman in the painting has been passed down for hundreds of years in the Eastern Kingdom Continent, having had who knows how many masters. Yet, there is such a vast space inside, hiding the real secret! I hope it won't disappoint ! Theoretically, the items stored inside the space are the real treasures.
CLICK CLACK... The spider's legs continued to move, stopping at the center of the space. There were two pedestals, each holding an item. One held a book that was seven fingers thick, while the other held a black bead.
TAP TAP... The spider climbed up the pedestal to the book and, with effort, flipped open the cover, revealing a sinister painting.
Hmm? Carl's brows rose slightly. It was common for a Wizard's knowledge to involve complex patterns and designs, especially with Illusion Technique and Astral witchcraft. This was normal. But this painting was different.
Divine!
Other Wizards might not see it. However, Carl, as a master of a Divine Domain Fragnt, recognized at a glance that these complex patterns concealed the symbol of a Divine. Prolonged observation could potentially convert one into a follower of 'It,' at any ti risking soul or body invasion by the Divine.
TAP TAP... The spider paused briefly, not continuing to flip through the book but instead moving towards the other pedestal. The mont the spider's legs touched the black bead, an inconspicuous light flashed from within it.
"Selected heir of fate, after countless years, you have finally co here under the guidance of destiny." From the void, a lodious voice resounded, "I will serve as your follower, tutor, and companion, and guide you to the ultimate path of wizardry..."
PFFT! The spider's abdon opened, spitting out a bundle of web, wrapping the black bead and cutting off its lant.
"Stop!" The voice inside the bead imdiately grew panicked. "Don't act! I am the Three-Circle Wizard Weber, with a complete Fourth-tier Bloodline Wizard inheritance! I can help you beco a Second-Circle, Third-Circle, and even a Four-Circle Wizard! I also know many ancient secrets. I know the coordinates of an Otherworld and the locations of two semi-planes! Please, don't..."
PFFT!
PFFT! PFFT!
Web continued to spew forth, engulfing the black bead until it turned into a cocoon the size of a baby's fist. As for the voice... it could no longer be heard.
"Had it not been for my encounter with the Grey Robed Wizard Adison, I might have actually believed you," Carl murmured under his breath. This bead was an item that contained a soul fragnt and had been imbued with nurous sealing spells to prevent the ravages of ti. In Adison's mories, there existed similar Magic Doors. However, this self-proclaid Wizard Weber clearly had more powerful ans than Adison, quite possibly indeed a Three-Circle Wizard. Or even stronger!
But, what of it? The pattern on the book was fraught with subterfuge, and this person's words were full of seduction, surely filled with nefarious intent. To be on the safe side, it was better to seal it off completely. After discovering that the book hid a 'Divine,' Carl had already made up his mind to avoid further contact.
「Soon.」
The clay Puppet spider, carrying a book and a cocoon, ca before Carl, and then collapsed to the ground.
Clay Puppets are indeed not durable; they broke down so quickly. Shaking his head, Carl picked up the two items from the ground. After so thought, he turned and entered the Divine Domain Fragnt. Then, via the Divine Domain Fragnt, he traveled to an Otherworld.
Control of Earth! Petrification Skill!
He summoned a few clumps of earth and turned them into a makeshift miniature stone coffin, stuffing the cocoon inside. And then, calling forth the Magic Flying Carpet, he headed straight for the Endless Sea Domain.
「Two hours later.」
Above the vast ocean, Carl took out the stone coffin, shrugged his shoulders, and casually tossed it into the water.
PLOP! The stone coffin sank into the sea, disappearing from sight.
"The seawater will erode the stone. I believe it won't take tens of thousands of years for you to free yourself. I hope by then you will still be around."
"Or..." Carl murmured softly, "Maybe when I can truly master the secrets of the Divine, and rember there was such an incident, I will co back to check on you. Who knows if I'll still rember the location by then?"
The Magic Flying Carpet folded in midair and flew towards Jiliu City.
"Jina!" Carl's gaze fixed on the woman in the painting, his eyes dark. "Should I trust you?"
