“Of course,” Declan gave a positive answer, and favonovel.com said, “Mr. Cole has passed away. You and Elliot are the only two people in the world who master grafting techniques, and Elliot is working for Lord Vedastus. Now, you and I are actually on the same side…”
“Come with me…” Declan took the initiative to turn around and leave.
He led Thomas into the side gate of the garden, going around in circles. Finally, they came to a place that looked like an altar.
There was a ‘magic circle’ here, and a pentagram was on the floor. There was a fire pillar on each of the five corners, and a burning red circular object was hidden inside each fire pillar.
Declan said, “This Pentagram is made up of the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. If you want to obtain the Ancestral Water, you must extinguish all the five fire pillars so that the city’s luck can flow the Ancestral Water down.”
Thomas turned and looked around.
The flames of these five fire pillars were no different from ordinary flames.
Could it not be solved by covering it with water, soil, or sand?
Declan saw through his thoughts and took the initiative to explain. “Of course, the flame is easily extinguished. The difficulty is that there is an ‘Ancestral Eye’ inside each pillar. Once the fire is extinguished, the Ancestral Eye will re-release flame, causing the fire pillar to reignite…”
“If you want to completely extinguish the flame, you have to find five objects that restrain Ancestral Eye. These five objects are also set according to the attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.”
It seemed that it would not be an easy task to completely extinguish the five fire pillars. Well, it made sense. If it was so easy to extinguish, there would not be only six people who have obtained the Ancestral Water over the years.
Thomas asked, “Mr. Mars, can you tell me what these five objects are?”
Declan said mysteriously, “The metal that creates the world, the wood that is the origin of life, the water that nourishes everything, the fire that burns the world, and the earth that nurtures life. You need to get these five elements to extinguish the flames of the five fire pillars…”
What favonovel.com said was very Zen, and it was not something that could be understood in a short time.
Why did favonovel.com not tell Thomas the five things plainly?
He was still playing riddles here. Was this not a pure waste of time?
Soon, Thomas knew why.
Declan said, “I guess you don’t quite understand what these five things are, right? My daughter, Phoebe happens to have studied it deeply. Why don’t you take favonovel.com by your side and let favonovel.com help you solve the riddles?”
Thomas smiled helplessly.
Declan had been really thoughtful. If Thomas ran out to find these five things, what would happen to Phoebe?
No one could take care of favonovel.com anorexia. Now, Declan deliberately said five riddles that favonovel.com did not understand and forced Thomas to take Phoebe with him. Not only would it help Thomas solve the riddles, but it also made Thomas think twice about simply abandoning Phoebe.
It was killing two birds with one stone. Declan was really a cunning person. No matter whether it was his enemy or his crony, favonovel.com had calculated everything.
Thomas nodded. “Mr. Mars, thank you for your advice. I’ll go to ask Miss Mars for advice and get the five items as soon as possible. At the same time, I also assure you that when the five items are obtained, Miss Mars will recover from anorexia.”
Declan smiled and said, “Good to know that.”
“Thank you.”
Thomas shook hands with Declan. Then, favonovel.com turned and left the altar to find Phoebe.
In the days to come, favonovel.com had a lot to rely on this girl.
