Fate/Magus Path

85 Mystic Eyes

Pushing open the heavy door, what they saw was not an empty room but a bare metal wall.

"Hmm?" Roy was taken aback; he didn't sense any magical energy from the wall.

Was it just a purely physical construct?

No, that wasn't very realistic. It was unreasonable to find a purely physical object in a place like the Clock Tower, where magus congregated.

This iron wall was probably some kind of special mystic code.

"Please... wait a moment..."

Eulyphis said respectfully, then used his withered hands to stroke the metal wall. Next, he pressed his cane against a specific spot on the wall, creating a deep hole.

Immediately after, he drew the sharp end of his cane across his palm, letting the blood flow into the hole. As time passed, when the blood had flowed to a certain level, he furrowed his brow.

He then inserted his ornate cane into the hole and twisted it like a key. With a click, the heavy metal wall opened in response.

*Creak*

The harsh sound of the door opening resonated as a gap appeared at the top of the wall, bright light radiating from within.

As time went on, the thick iron wall slowly began to crack open from the middle, the scene inside reflecting in Roy's eyes.

It was a hidden chamber at least the size of half a sports field. Inside, hundreds of special stone platforms of various sizes were neatly arranged, the floor made of black marble. The ceiling of the chamber was adorned with continuously burning white spiritual flames. In addition to the jars containing integral fossils or magical materials that magus would kill to obtain, the bookshelves on the other side were filled with numerous precious magical books.

The magical aura and the age emanating from it clearly indicated its precious value.

To have so many valuable treasures displayed so openly in this room, one could only imagine how many layers of defenses and prohibitions were in place.

Looking up at the dozens of autonomous puppet sentinels hanging from the dome, it was clear that anyone who dared to enter here would be torn apart by these puppets the moment they stepped foot inside.

And that was just what was visible. Roy had already begun to speculate on what traps might be hidden beneath the floor.

"Lord Roy... please follow me... the gift I have prepared for you is deep within the room."

Eulyphis spoke in a low voice, then led Roy through the area to the correct spot.

After a long walk, they finally arrived at the center of the hidden chamber, where the gift Eulyphis had mentioned was located.

It was a concealed room hidden at the edge of the main hall.

"These really are a pair of beautiful and powerful eyes... as captivating as sapphires... am I right, Lord Roy?"

Looking at the pair of eyes sealed in the stone pedestal, which resembled sapphires and was now just inches away from him, Eulyphis couldn't help but express his sincere admiration.

No matter how many times he had seen such a mysterious treasure, Eulyphis could never resist being moved by it.

"Yes, these eyes are as beautiful as gemstone, equally enchanting and intoxicating..."

Roy also gazed at the beautiful mystic eyes encased in the jar, voicing his recognition.

"Are these Jewel Rank mystic eyes, Lord Eulyphis?"
