The group divided to attend to multiple urgent responsibilities.
Some headed to handle the situation of prisoner soldiers in the mines, ensuring they were appropriately managed and interrogated. Others focused on the logistical management of moving the crystals, a process that required specific beasts.
The selection of candidates for double potions also required immediate attention, evaluating loyalty, competence, and strategic potential.
Ren decided to stay with Luna, Larissa and Liora, awaiting the arrival of his egg and his teachers. It was an opportunity to plan his next development steps while writing a new guide.
After a few hours, while the Wolverine tamers continued extracting crystals, something unexpected began to be seen.
“Is that part of a mural?” asked one of Julius’s half-sisters, pointing toward where crystal removal had revealed carved patterns on the wall.
A small section of strange information had become visible, symbols and designs that were clearly part of something much larger.
The discovery immediately changed extraction priorities.
“We planned to extract few crystals,” Arturo commented when reporting the finding, “but now we need to extract those necessary to free the complete mural.”
The decision wasn’t trivial. Extracting more crystals meant distributing enormous wealth that couldn’t be stored in the castle’s space, but the historical information could be invaluable for understanding the systems that had been operating beneath their feet.
These murals could contain information about the ancient civilization that had built these systems, possibly revealing secrets about their operation or purpose that could prove crucial.
