Chapter 23 - 23. Magic Book
In a black room lit only by the light of a candle, a man who had been standing for some time stared at the figure lying stiffly in the coffin in front of him.
No one knew what he was thinking.
."Hmmm, it's been 700 years, sir. Time flies so fast."
"I hope that when you wake up, you will not be disappointed with the body we used for the awakening of your soul, because that body belongs to that person."
"We have to, because only that body is suitable for you," he muttered to himself with a sigh.
Knock ... knock ... knock ...
The sound of knocking on the door was heard.
"Come in."
After saying that, several people consisting of two men and one woman entered his sight.
"Say it," he said then turned to face the people who had just entered the room.
"A few days ago, people from phoenyx academy were seen walking through the forbidden forest. We were only watching from afar because Bai Xue's bodyguard was with them. It's not that we don't dare, it's just that we don't want to take risks. We also don't know for what reason they walked through the forest, however ..." explained one of them who then stopped because he was doubtful, what he felt at that time was it true or just a coincidence.
"However?"
"I don't know if it's just my feeling or is it just a coincidence, when we followed and watched them from afar, I faintly felt that person's aura, I don't know maybe it's just my feeling," he continued while glancing at the coffin behind the man who stood up in front of him. "We also feel it," heard the explanation from his friend, the two people beside him joined the voice.
Those who were spoken to were only silent for a moment, then smiled, grinned.
He never thought that her return would be earlier than his master's resurrection.
"How much longer is the Silver Blood Moon?"
"About 6 months from now," said the woman who was standing between the two men.
"Sir, be patient. In a moment." Said the man back to face the coffin.
He can't wait to restart what should have happened 700 years ago. If only that person had not appeared and sacrificed himself, perhaps by this time they already possessed power equal to that of a god and already ruled over the lives of all beings, a power that not even Lord Gu himself would have matched.
"Keep an eye on their movements."
"All right," said the three people together then turned to leave the room.
Silver Blood Moon is a phenomenon that only occurs once every 1000 years, Silver Blood Moon is also known as a two-colored moon, that's because when a silver blood moon occurs, the moon will appear to have two colors. The half circle of the moon will be silver, while the other half circle will be as bright as blood. It is said that the color silver symbolizes resurrection, while the blood red color symbolizes destruction.

"So you mean that the life energy I saw in the forest at that time was caused by the seal on the little girl's body being released? And to restore her soul which had been sealed, she absorbed the life energy of all living beings in the forest?" Elder Bao asked a second time to make sure.
Currently they are in Fu Xie Lan's room. It has been two days that the girl has not passed out. The young man who had not yet spoken his name also did not move an inch from the side of the bed.
"If my guess is correct. Yes, more precisely Mana fairies and werewolves are starting to flow in her body, but the werewolf energies are so weak that it is impossible to know at a glance."
"Not only that, when the human scent on her body is disguised, the scent of the race which flows in the girl's body will appear, as if the fairy scent is more dominant than the werewolf scent, then people who see it will only feel the smell of fairy in her."
"Waow ... I really did not expect all this," said Elder Bao, feeling very extraordinary about this very coincidence.

FLASHBACK ON

"What is your relationship with Lord Gu?" Elder Bao asked when he saw the young man walking towards him.
Elder Bao did not pay attention to everything the young man said because of his shock, making his mind work fast. He remembered very well that Queen Yu Yi and Lord Gu had not been blessed with children. He never even heard that the Queen was pregnant with a child. Lord Gu is also known to have never been close to any woman except for Queen Yu Yi. Then who is this young man? Why did his face look so much like Lord Gu? The only difference is the color of the eyes and hair.
"Lord Gu? Who is he?" asked the young man with furrowed brows, he felt confused because this is the first time hearing the name Lord Gu. All he knew was one name and that was his mother 'Yu Yi'. After breaking free from the crystal shell a few days ago, the information he got was very limited, only regarding who he was in this case his mother's name. And how does he control and use the mana in his body. That is it.
Meanwhile Elder Chen who was recovering from his shock preferred to put the youth's identity aside first and return to his main goal. Elder Chen then left two people who he thought were a waste of time and headed for a glass box which contained a dark brown book with various patterns and a gemstone that also adorned the cover of the book.
''Magic Book' is the name written in small writing in the upper right corner of the book cover.
The magic book is a legendary book, this book was created by the first magician in this world. And passed down from generation to generation to the witches chosen by the ancestors. The last person to inherit the book was Queen Yu Yi.
Elder Chen slowly raised his hand to chant a few incantations, the glass box suddenly appeared transparent and then disappeared, there was a magic book floating in the air without a barrier.
Elder Chen then took out a small bottle filled with a blood-like thick red liquid from his trouser pocket.
Hey, it's not like blood, it really is blood. Yes, it was Fu Xie Lan's blood that he secretly drew when the girl had just arrived at his residence in an unconscious state. Even Elder Huang Bao was not aware of his actions. This he did just in case, if elder Huang Bao didn't want to tell the girl's identity, then her blood would be a clue to him.
A magic book is a book that can provide any information, but the information provided is very general. If a person wants to know something more specific then he needs to shed the blood of the people involved in what he wants to know.
For example now, he wanted to know the symbols that filled Fu Xie Lan's body, so what he needed was the girl's blood.
Three drops of blood managed to touch the crystal stone on the cover of the book. Blood is absorbed then the book shakes, the jewel on the book gives off a red light which indicates that the magic book is active.
The magic book opens slowly and automatically spawns word for word which then turns into sentences, paragraphs and finally fills one page of the book. No, word for word keeps popping up filling the blank pages of the book, some pictures are also printed clearly.
It continued for a few seconds, then stopped who knows how many sheets.
Elder Chen who looked at the page that was already full of writings and pictures did not understand at all. His brows knit together in confusion. Tried flipping through a few pages but it's still the same.
It's not that he doesn't know how to read, it's just that, "What type of letter is this? I've never seen letters like this before, "he said while massaging his temples which didn't hurt.
