There is a deep magical atmosphere in the streets of Prague late at night.
The dimmed gas lamps illuminated the stone paths and walls, and the empty streets seemed to still have the phantom of yesterday.
Bloodborn once roamed the streets here, searching for their prey in the darkness.
The astrologer in robes heard the movement on the street and looked down the street from the observatory.
Carrying lanterns engraved with charms, the night watchers hurried past. The vampire hunter who is watching all this is waiting for the opportunity, coveting the vampire's teeth...
Moments like this faded away with time. After the European Divine Court became more and more powerful, the living space of the blood descendants was severely squeezed. Those immortal ancient races are now almost extinct. After the unification of beliefs, alchemy and astrology have long since declined.
Today, on the late night streets, only the no longer elite night watchmen are left, still lazily patrolling with the ancient oil lamps. The exorcism charms on the oil lamps still seem to tell the story of yesterday.
However, tonight seems to be a repeat of yesterday. A black figure climbed over the stone wall and landed lightly, making almost no sound. The light from the streetlight illuminated the half-black, half-white hat on her head. When she jumped up again, she gently pressed the unique hat on her head with her hand. Her grace was so light and beautiful that the slow night watcher could never see her figure clearly.
The statue of the saint on the Charles Bridge just lowered its head and stared silently, as if promising to keep this lady's secret.
Alicia Pompeii was following the route she had already planned, heading towards the Prague Museum located next to the Astronomy Tower in the center of the old city.
At this moment, Alicia is confident about one thing: the entire European Daedalus does not know the true purpose of her and Wright.
They found a key ancient book in the Bodleian Library, the oldest library in Europe in Green.
In that ancient book, Alicia Pompey finally found a way to end Wright's eternal curse.
That ancient book written in cipher text was the personal notebook of Wright Flamel's father, Nierman Flamel, known as the "Dawn Warlock." After deciphering it, Alicia and Wright learned how the legendary alchemist obtained the Philosopher's Stone.
The "Philosopher's Stone" was originally a rare source of divine power. The Dawn Warlock spent most of his life and finally found a mysterious legacy that seemed to only exist in Middle Eastern mythology. While the god in that treasure was sleeping, he stripped off the source matter and divine core, and used his son's soul as a container to carry the source matter of divine power that could make people's "dreams come true" - he called it Philosopher's stone.
And the method of destroying the Philosopher's Stone without causing destruction has emerged:
Find the mysterious legacy that was abandoned due to the source material being stripped away, return these divine power source materials to the still sleeping divine core, and then let the god go on a long voyage.
The god left this world with the power that originally belonged to him. In this way, there will no longer be terrifying wish-making substances at the expense of other people's souls in the world. Wright will also become an ordinary human being and can finally welcome his own rest.
As long as things that belong to others are returned to their true owners, everything can get back on track. It's that simple.
In order to achieve this goal, Alicia took great pains.
Although almost the entire continent is covered with Daedalus' spies, for female chess players, she still has a huge advantage: Erwin Schrödinger, the current head of the foundation, although he has no interest in Erwin Schrödinger, who killed the former president. Licia hated it deeply and wanted to wipe out the independent Ocean City branch, but he didn't know that Alicia and Wright's real purpose was to destroy the Philosopher's Stone.
From Schrödinger's perspective, the traitors from the Ocean City branch came to Europe to start a battle for Daedalus's industry and stronghold.
Alicia, who was not dominant in numbers, arranged for three teams to compete for different industries in Daedalus. One of them, disguised as herself by "make-up artist" Jennifer, headed towards Finchburg in Sweden. There is the "Protocol Failure Warning Hall" there, which is one of the most important legacies of Daedalus.
Whoever has the right to monitor the failure of angel containment will be recognized by the European Holy Court. The fight for Finchburg is a fight for the legitimacy of the foundation.
Such a large-scale formation was designed to make Schrödinger mistakenly believe that his purpose was to cannibalize the foundation industry. The overly conservative chess player would never have thought that her real purpose was to sneak into the Prague Museum, find the mysterious inheritance displayed in the glass case, and erase the Philosopher's Stone from the world, freeing Wright.
This is Alicia's plan to cover up the theft with a warlike attitude.
After arriving in Prague with Wright, the cautious female chess player observed this city with a long history for three days. After ensuring that Schrödinger had not arranged an ambush, she finally launched an operation on the night of the third day.
The thin clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moon that had illuminated the ancient city for thousands of years shed its brilliance. The spire of the museum can already be seen.
Alicia closed her eyes, but the city in front of her did not disappear, but turned into a three-dimensional model composed of geometric bodies. Below the model was a clear black and white grid - the whole of Prague became a huge chessboard in her eyes.
There are many figures walking around on the chessboard holding oil lamps. They are the night watchmen of the entire city. At this moment, their movements are all controlled by the female chess players.
She pressed the black and white hat belonging to Ed Shu on her head again: "Attention, get ready to jump."
In her vision of the chessboard, a mysterious giant hand broke through the clouds, and the outline of the queen's chess pieces appeared around Alicia. The Hand of God lifted the chess piece and leapt forward in a straight line. Bragg shrunk beneath Alicia, and in the blink of an eye she was on the roof of the museum.
The chess piece was put down, and the divine hand retracted into the sky.
"Queen's Leap" is one of the amazing magical skills mastered by female chess players. As the "queen" on the chessboard, Alicia has amazing mobility in the open space.
The breeze blew, the moonlight became more prosperous, and the whole world seemed to be illuminated into a white flowerbed. Such a grand scene made the female thief feel a little nervous tonight and couldn't help but linger on the roof of the museum.
The moonlight illuminated the mottled ground and railings here, and Alicia discovered the traces left a hundred years ago. Those traces concealed by paint were reversed into a stunning duel in the eyes of the female chess players. The two sides in the duel were... Alicia opened her eyes wide. She clearly saw that the two sides in the duel were a thousand-year blood descendant and a pure-blood werewolf.
For some unknown reason, two powerful men at the time had a life-and-death fight on the top floor of the Renaissance-style building in the museum.
In the final result, Alicia's eyes followed two figures from a hundred years ago... The vampire grabbed the werewolf and flew away from here. The night sky a hundred years ago coincided with today's moon. The two gradually flew away and fell into the town. The fierce battle continued... The final result is unknown to Alicia today.
All that is left are the lingering claw marks and cracks, and the ancient city that is now yawning under the gaze of the gods.
"That's what it was like here in the past," said Wright with a smile. "It was very lively. There are endless stories to tell."
Alicia could tell that Wright liked it here. She could understand that feeling, because even though she had not been with this city for a long time, she was somewhat obsessed with it.
The unknown thief quickly walked to the tall window. Just as she was thinking about how to enter the locked window without leaving any trace, the hat on her head fell to the ground on its own. A half-black and half-white face appeared, and Wright became the "God of Mischief", Edshu.
"Madam..." He tiptoed to Alicia's side in a black and white suit. His appearance was indescribably weird. "I will perform a unique skill for you -" He took the female chess player's hand and walked towards the museum. In one step, they had passed through the window and were standing in the dark corridor. The moon outside the window is like a doubtful eye, staring at the person who walks into the window.
"Ed Shu's wall-traveling show." When he took off his hat and saluted, he had transformed back into the young man with half-length black curly hair.
The two looked at each other and smiled, Yuehua was still looking at them through the window. Like an ice cube melting, the smile on Alicia's face oozed confusion and helplessness - they knew they were about to achieve what they wanted, and that would be a farewell, a necessary farewell.
The atmosphere was no longer suitable to continue looking at each other, and the two of them turned towards the dark direction of the corridor at the same time.
"Let's go find that thing. Let's finish it together."
