The Crimson Moon represents the silence of death, the Silver White Moon symbolizes the bloom of life, whereas the Azure Moon represents the mystery of magic and knowledge in this world. Under the moonlight of the Azure Night, the air pulses with surging mana, the elements of magic dance in the moonlight, drifting in the wind is the glow of mana. Time gradually approaches midnight, all magic-related professionals can feel their blood throbbing. That is the gift and pity of Lady Luscia, the Azure Lady.

Under the bright moonlight of round moon Luscia, the world was covered in a layer of light blue twilight. Through the blue light, everything between heaven and earth blurred, yet filled with a mysterious color.

"The time is almost right." Vivian looked at the reflection of the moon gradually emerging from the artificially dug pool on the ground. "In about ten more minutes, the moon will move to a specific position. That’s when the gate will open."

"Is everyone ready? Ahead might be the end of our adventure. We must complete the last stretch smoothly. Catherine kneeled on one knee again, carefully adjusting the leg armor once more. She finally put on the knee armor, covering her body with the special scale armor. "No one may have entered there for many, many years, there may be unknown dangers, Mr. Elrad, are you sure you want to go in with us? If you don’t want to take risks, you can wait here. Even if you don’t go in, as soon as we find the treasure, we will pay you five percent of the share as a reward."

"I’ve lived in the forest for many years, and this is the first time I’ve come across something so interesting," Elrad said. "Although there may be dangers inside, after working together for these days, I believe you all have the ability to protect my safety in the face of danger. So, if you don’t object, I would like to follow you in, consider it a accumulation of experience."

"Then as you wish." Catherine nodded in agreement. "I will do my best to ensure your safety, but I must declare beforehand, if there are irresistible factors, leading us to ultimately not being able..."

"That would be my bad luck." Elrad interrupted Catherine’s words: "There won’t be any complaints."

"It’s about to start, the fluctuation of mana is getting stronger and stronger. Although as a priest instead of a mage, I can’t control this pure mana, but I can completely sense the increasingly intense mana gathering. Lina had once again concealed her abnormal nature after Elrad ended his seven-day secluded life in his tent and resumed action with the adventure team. This time, her every move was filled with a sacred aura, fully in line with her own professional traits. Anyone who saw her would feel relieved to entrust their health and life into her hands: "Vivian, I suddenly thought of a problem."

"About how to return?" Vivian’s eyes were still fixed on the blue moon reflection in the pool.

"Yes, that’s it." This time, Lina wasn’t holding her beloved novel, but had the silver-colored law book spread out in front of her. She was flipping through it as she continued to ask, "If we go in and stay for too long, and the power of the Azure Lord recedes, will the entrance close? What do we do if we can’t get out when it closes?"

"Rest assured, she’s been prepared for a long time." Pannis was lying by the pool with his legs crossed, a toothpick in his mouth, leaning his arm half-closed with eyes looking leisurely at the sky: "There will be absolutely no problem."

"That’s good." Although Pannis’s answer was very vague, Lina, who was normally curious, didn’t question him further, but simply drew a square on her chest with one hand, began to flip through the law book and pray silently.

"What’s the matter Catherine?" The leisurely Pannis noticed that Catherine had pulled out her one-handed sword for the third time to clean it, and couldn’t help but ask, "You’re acting weird? Are you getting nervous?"

"Huh? Nervous?" Catherine was taken aback in confusion, then shook her head vigorously: "Not nervous at all, I’m just... um, I’m just..."

"She’s overexcited," Vivian said leisurely: "She doesn’t know what to do."

"What’s there to get excited about?" Pannis felt completely puzzled.

"That’s a huge fortune." Catherine put away her long sword, her fists clenched and raised to her chest, her eyes sparkled, and her voice turned sharp due to excitement: "The wealth accumulated by several generations of a kingdom. Ohmygod, I can hardly imagine, how much money that would be. Look, look, heaps of rare materials, lots of gems and crystals, countless luxuries and art pieces, piles of Mithril Coins and Magistones, haha, haha, the feeling of pouring Mithril Coins from your head, omg, this is really heaven on earth. Hush, hush, listen, the sound of these coins clashing, it’s... it’s..."

"She’s gone mad." Vivian turned her white eyes helplessly: "Lina, I think our big sister needs you."

"There’s no need for treatment." Lina gestured a blessing gesture at Catherine with a sanctified expression: "All I can do now is pray for her, begging for God’s mercy."

"I think, if she comes to in her senses, she will definitely beat you two." Pannis had a strained smile as he shook his hand in front of Catherine: "Wake up, it’s dawn, time to get up."

"Give it up, it’s useless". Vivian laughed heartily: "This is already her second time entering this state, unless there’s a change in the situation, like the entrance suddenly opening, she won’t wake up."

"It’s not the first time?" Pannis asked in surprise: "When was the first time?"

"More than two years ago," Lina closed her spellbook, idly tapping a rhythm on the ground with a mallet. "Our adventure team had recently been promoted to Silver Rank, and we completed a mission for the first time with a five-figure reward. She was like this back then too, giggling all night."

"Hehe, hehe," Pannis responded in silence, expressing his current mood with forced laughter.

"It’s time," Vivian’s expression suddenly sharpened, pointing at the pond. "The Azure Moon is in position, and I can feel the energy from the moonlight starting to reflect off the water."

"I feel it too," Pannis looked up solemnly at the special position on the rock wall, his curiosity piqued about the entrance to the treasure room, a design from several centuries ago.

In the pale blue moonlight, magical energy was constantly converging on the activation device in the rock wall. To all the spellcasters, the device was as bright and dazzling as a lighthouse. Gradually, as the magical energy became more and more concentrated, a bright white light suddenly shot out from the location of the activation device on the rock wall and hit directly on the floor at the bottom of the hole, forming a circular spot of light.

"Why has nothing happened yet?" Lina asked in confusion. "Do we still lack some arrangements?"

"No, don’t rush," Pannis shook his head. "This entrance needs time to open."

"Yes, this is a secondary triggering device." Vivian said, "It seems that the rock wall is just a device for gathering and reflecting. The magic energy that is gathered is reflected on the ground and the real opening device is at this point on the ground. Ha, this is really interesting. They made the entrance so complicated."

"No choice, it’s meant to prevent unauthorized access," Pannis noted. "It’s only reasonable that it’s a bit complicated."

"Look, there’s movement," Catherine’s voice came from behind the three."

"Eh? Big sister?" Lina exclaimed in surprise to Catherine, "You woke up so fast? That’s amazing."

"Woke up from what?" Catherine asked in confusion, "I never fell asleep, what happened?"

"Er, nothing, nothing happened." Lina gave a forced laugh, then suddenly pointed to the ground with an exaggerated expression, "Wow, look, there’s movement."

"That’s quite unconvincing." Catherine rolled her eyes and mumbled with suspicion, "They must be hiding something from me."

The light spot on the ground changed, and another beam of light shot up from the spot, extending three meters into the sky, where it stopped and remained still. The next moment, the cylindrical beam of light, no thicker than a wrist, suddenly spread out to the sides like a scroll slowly being unrolled, gradually stretching the circular beam into a wall of white light— the Light Curtain. After it was formed, it flickered slowly by itself, with no further changes.

"Turns out they’re using the old gate teleportation design." Vivian’s mouth twitched as she said this with some disappointment, "I thought we would see some novel technique."

"Is this teleportation magic too?" Catherine had never seen this form of teleportation magic and asked, "Very old?"

"Well, this kind of teleportation magic was quite popular about 1500 years ago," Vivian explained. "But ever since the Teleportation Array was modified about 900 years ago, both its performance and energy consumption improved significantly, making this kind of old magic mostly obsolete. It’s surprising that the Naren Kingdom, which only collapsed about 700 years ago, was still using this outdated teleportation magic."

"Although they collapsed 700 years ago, this secret treasure room that serves as their last resort might have been built way before that," Pannis stretched out a finger to jab at the Light Curtain, which didn’t change its form. "Perhaps it was built at the time of the first generation of the royal family, so the use of this magic could still be deemed sensible."

"Hmm, you have a point." Vivian closed her eyes and sensed something in front of the Light Curtain, then pouted, "The teleportation distance is less than two kilometers. It seems that the treasure is hidden somewhere underground nearby."

"How long will this stay in effect?" Catherine circled around the Light Curtain and asked, "Can it last until we return?"

"About two hours." Vivian said, "But it looks like it’s one-way. There should be another one that can be activated as an exit inside. Don’t worry, even if there is a problem, I’ve prepared a solution. Let’s go, let’s enter. The treasure is waiting for us."
