Chapter 675 Records

In a suite of a high-end hotel in Flotz, Dorothy sat on a comfortable and soft sofa, warming herself by the burning stove not far away, while examining the golden pedestal in her hand, observing the phenomenon on it with curiosity.

Based on her own understanding and conjecture about the Key of Seeing, Dorothy tried to infuse her own "enlightenment" spirituality into it. Then the golden base with the crystal carrier also changed unexpectedly, showing a hint of extraordinary characteristics. After feeling the emergence of this extraordinary characteristic, Dorothy immediately identified the golden base.

"The Guidance Base can bind and link multiple reading keys at the same time, combining them into a 'Guide Display Key'. When only the base is left, the only function left is to read the status information in the library of the bound reading key."

'It can record the bound access key information...'

After seeing the identified information, Dorothy's eyes lit up. Her previous guess was correct. The items of the Key of Enlightenment series have extremely high spiritual conversion efficiency, so there are almost no extraordinary traces left after use, making the spiritual activity and residual level of the items reach the level of ordinary items. This results in these items not showing any special features under the general "light" system ability. As long as they are recharged, the extraordinary characteristics will appear again, regardless of whether this spirituality is given by the Great Library or Dorothy.

The result of the experiment was exactly as Dorothy had guessed. The golden base showed extraordinary characteristics and its function was successfully identified, which was exactly what Dorothy wanted.

'Ha... According to this appraisal, if the base can read the information of the bound viewing key, then the base can be used to find the crystal, as long as the information contains the location information.'

Dorothy thought to herself while holding the golden base, and then she began to try to use the functions of the golden base, trying to master its usage. Not long after, she successfully used the extraordinary functions remaining in the golden base. From it, Dorothy could read some information about the other crystals.

Afterwards, Dorothy began to analyze the information carefully. With her powerful information processing ability, the information of the crystal was quickly parsed out. After browsing all the information, Dorothy couldn't help but frowned slightly.

This information does record the location of the crystal, but it is not the real-time location but the historical location. Dorothy cannot know from this information where the crystal of the key to seeing is now, but she can know where it was before.

Faced with such a situation, Dorothy couldn't help but frown. She didn't know why this happened. Why could she only read the historical information of the crystal from the golden base, but couldn't get the current real-time information at all? This was very contradictory. Didn't the appraisal technique say that the golden base could know the specific condition of the crystal? Why did this happen?

"Strange... This thing can know where the crystal was before, but it can't figure out where it is now. What's going on?"

Frowning, Dorothy stared at the golden base in front of her and murmured in confusion. She then planned to further check what the historical information looked like.

This historical information includes the approximate status and location of the four crystals, and the earliest time that can be seen is about 150 years ago.

In the earliest recorded information, these crystals were all in Frozi in the north-central part of Farajo. According to the detailed location, it was roughly the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty. From the earliest recorded point to the next few decades, these crystals were mostly in the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty, only occasionally wandering in Frozi, at most only going to other cities in Farajo, but soon returned. According to the time inference, during this period of time, these crystals should have been made into necklaces not long ago, and were worn by Queen Maria and her successors, so they showed such a range of activities.

More than one hundred and ten years ago, which was almost the time of the Frost Moon Revolution in Fararo's history, these crystals suddenly left the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty in Froz and moved to Fararo's secondary capital, Bogot. According to Fararo's historical records, it was the palace of the Greedy King Robert. During Robert's reign, he extremely distrusted the church because of Charles' death, so he moved the capital here, away from Froz, which was guarded by the church. It was obvious that the light of Maria was also moved there with him.

Later, during the Frost Moon Revolution, the Maria Light began to move again, leaving Viget and going far away, somewhere on the eastern border of Farajo, and then stayed there motionless, never returning to Flotz. Dorothy believed that these crystals must have been taken away by Frederico and secretly kept in a Dark Gold Society base.

Maria stayed at this location suspected to be the base of the Dark Gold Society for a hundred years. It was not until last year that new changes occurred.

Around April last year, the historical records of Maria's shining crystals suddenly disappeared, completely disappeared, and from that moment on Dorothy had no information about these crystals at all. They just disappeared from their original place.

One month after the record disappeared, the record of the crystal appeared again, but this time it was not at the original border of Farajo, but at a different location, appearing in a city in the south of Farajo. The record here only lasted for two or three hours before disappearing again.

From this moment on, the record of the crystal's location began to become strange. It became intermittent, sometimes not. There were only a few hours in a day when it was recorded, but most of the time there was no record. This situation lasted for almost a month.

A month later, the location of the crystal began to change. It began to move to a city in Farajo. The record of the crystal was lost during the transfer, but after it was transferred to a new city, the record would repeat the previous intermittent state. After a period of time, it would completely disappear and move to another city to repeat. The farthest one even went abroad and moved to Ivig. In some of the transfers, it even returned to Flotz. In addition to Flotz, the crystal was also taken to Bogot.

This intermittent and constantly shifting process lasted for several months until the second half of last year when it gradually decreased and completely disappeared near the end of last year. Since then, it has maintained a record of disappearance until now. When it was recorded to disappear, it was in Farajo and was still disappearing in the process of shifting. During this strange activity, the crystal seemed to be more active than before.

According to the historical records of crystal transfers glimpsed through the golden base, Dorothy drew out all the transfer routes in her mind and marked them on the map in her mind, trying to analyze if there was any pattern. However, after analyzing it over and over again, she was still confused and could not see what information was contained in it.
