Chapter 1154 Wynter’s Item
Brute force wouldn’t work when it came to opening the Arcane diagram.
It required opening it from the east, through the “Birth Gate“, striking out through the ” Rest Gate” in the southwest, and re–entering from the “Open Gate” in the north to
break the formation.
However, even then, the formation was not truly broken.
The wooden box was marked with eight characters -Rest, Birth, Hurt, Restriction, Scenery, Death, Surprise, and Open. These characters represented the eight gates within the formation.
Wynter looked at the corresponding numbers and suddenly had a flash of
inspiration. A clicking sound was heard when she pressed the characters in the correct order. The lock opened.
Wynter raised her eyebrows. Not because of anything else, but because the string of numbers was particularly familiar. “0715. It’s my birthday.”
Wynter casually opened the wooden box. “It’s indeed a date Atwater would choose.”
However, Wynter knew that her birthday fell on the Spirit Festival. It was a day when many people would remind children to return home early.
Likely due to this festival, Shane had always believed that Wynter’s horoscope was unfavorable. After all, it was widely recognized as a festival for ghosts.
On the day of the festival, altars were set up and worshiped in the streets and chapels.
Larger ceremonies would include offerings to the Ghost King. Few knew that the Ghost King was also known as the Salvation King, an incarnation of the deity Daynon.
A gust of wind swept through the moment the wooden box opened completely. This caused the flowers in the courtyard to sway.
Even the stray cat stopped in its tracks, its beautiful glass eyes seeming fixed on
something. The usually restless wolf–like dog also fell silent as it stood there in a

daze.

It was as if something had emanated from underground, spreading throughout the
entire mountain range. It was invisible to the human eye, but animals could sense it.
In nature, animals always reacted faster than humans to impending events. For
instance, before an earthquake, a school of fish would jump out of the water.
This phenomenon wasn’t because of anything supernatural but was due to the geological changes preceding the earthquake.
It affected gas solubility in the water due to the sudden increases in geothermal heat. It would decrease oxygen levels and increase sulfide content.
Fish were the first to sense the change.
Similarly, Whitley could see the reactions of the surrounding animals and knew that whatever was in the box was extraordinary. More importantly, he sensed that whatever was in the box could imprison him./
The crow that landed on the branches also saw what was inside the box. His eyes narrowed instantly, and the black feathers on his wings that fell off increased in
numbers.
Dalton sat beside Wynter as he gracefully held a teacup made of turquoise stone.
His refined figure cast a rich shadow’on the ground. The light falling on his excessively handsome face highlighted his jaw’s angular contours, making it difficult for anyone to discern his thoughts.
Yet, when Dalton’s gaze fell on the item, his deep eyes seemed bottomless.
The crow kept his gaze on Dalton. For the first time, the crow seemed a bit flustered. He was too familiar with what was inside the wooden box. The grand master had once used the item to pierce Dalton.
What the heck? Why was this thing still here?
The crow flapped his wings and was ready to descend when Dalton simply raised his
hand slightly, sending the crow bouncing back onto the branches.
The crow’s eyes half–lowered. Did Dalton mean for him to not interfere? But it would

be bad if someone used that item.

Wynter also realized that this curved dagger was different. It wasn’t just a typical Cascadian weapon. Its construction was more refined, and its shaft resembled an
unknown animal’s skeleton.
The curved dagger that Atwater left behind wasn’t discovered because it was
dismantled and needed to be reassembled.
