Fusing an item with someone's flesh was a special way to control it.
Firstly, it allowed the user to better understand the item and unleash more power. Secondly, the item would recognize someone as its master, and it would be harder to lose it. Even if the item was lost, the user would still be able to sense it and locate it.
"So the Crimson Crown already recognized someone as its master? But that can't be right. According to Angor, the Crimson Crown was enchanted with 'Bloodline Retrace', and the magic array was still active. How did it recognize someone as its master? "
"I don't think so either. But I've been observing Eureka for a while now." Thewis was also puzzled.
"When did she start absorbing the crown?" asked Sunders.
"At least, I didn't see her taking the crown out of her body before she lost her mind."
In other words, Eureka must have only started the process recently.
But wasn't she already insane?
The more Angor thought about it, the stranger he felt. He couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
When Sunders was still puzzled, Angor suddenly spoke up.
"The Crimson Crown's effect is to confuse people's minds. In other words, it can turn them into loyal puppets. So, I have a question. Can Eureka really control the servants affected by the Crimson Crown? "
Sunders' eyes flickered as he thought of something.
Thewis frowned. "As I recall, the servants affected by the Crimson Crown all wanted to follow Eureka."
"But that doesn't mean Eureka can control them. Maybe —" Angor paused for a second. "The Crimson Crown is controlling them."
Angor was trying to find out if Eureka was the real owner of the Crimson Crown?
Angor believed that it wasn't the case. If Eureka was the real owner of the Crimson Crown, why would she be affected by the crown's effect? But if she wasn't, then who caused all this?
"So you're saying that the crown created a spirit and controlled Eureka's soul?"
"Before I left the Old Earth, I came into contact with the Crimson Crown for a while. I didn't sense any 'spirit' back then. Of course, it's also possible that it has already gained sentience, but is hiding. "
Sunders frowned. "You did? Were they alone? "
Angor nodded. "I'm studying the magic array of the Crimson Crown in Thewis' space."
"If you did, how could you defeat the Crimson Crown with your current strength? Its ability is to confuse the mind. If it already has a spirit, you might have been confused by it at that time. Furthermore, you were alone. Even if you were bewitched, it would be hard for others to notice. "
In other words, at least at that time, the Scarlet Crown did not have a so-called 'spirit'.
"Did it only spawn recently?" Thewis asked.
"Yes, I've never seen a Mystery item doing that." Angor paused a little. "But I don't mean that only. Maybe the Crimson Crown doesn't have a 'spirit'? "
Thewis became even more confused after hearing Angor's words.
It was the bystander who came to his senses first.
White Bear had been listening to their conversation for a while now. He wanted to ask about Eureka, but he couldn't because of how angry he was at Eureka. Besides, they were talking about something related to Goman King's treasure. White Bear had no choice but to listen to their conversation so that he could learn more about Eureka.
As the conversation went on, White Bear began to understand the core of the matter. There were still some things he didn't know, but at least he could understand what they were talking about.
When Angor mentioned that the Crimson Crown didn't have a spirit, he realized something.
"Angor said that the Crimson Crown has' Bloodline Retrace '. Does that mean it already has a master? Is it possible that this' master 'is behind all this? "White Bear asked.
Thewis hesitated for a moment before he realized it.
Yes, it was possible. And it wasn't a small possibility. Thewis was blinded by the fact that the Goman King had not sent anyone over, and they were planning to sneak into the Goman Kingdom to look for their 'master'. Psychologically speaking, Thewis thought of himself as the hunter, and the other party as the prey, which made him overlook this possibility.
"So this' master 'might be behind Eureka's transformation?" Thewis clenched his fists.
"That's just a guess."
Thewis said, "But that's very likely. Eureka once told me that the Crimson Crown's effect is to confuse people's minds. Although bewitching one's mind can cause one to go crazy, it still requires the controller to continue controlling it. It won't cause one to go crazy and become bloodthirsty immediately. "
"Now that we know the truth, everyone who was affected by the red light went insane, which means the Crimson Crown's nature has been altered. And to be able to do this, it should be the real master of the Crimson Crown! If we can find him, we might be able to get rid of the crown's effect. "
If this conjecture was possible, then another problem was placed in front of him. How was he going to find this so-called 'master'?
For Extraordinaires, it was actually very easy for them to conceal themselves. Moreover, it was possible to control the Crimson Crown from a distance. As long as the distance was within a certain range, it could be done.
"If we can get the crown and observe the magic array on it, we might be able to find the master's location," Angor said. But this was unlikely. Eureka had already absorbed the Crimson Crown into her body, which meant there was no way she could get it.
If this path didn't work, then what other way was there?
"I studied the Crimson Crown in order to find the blood of the real master from the Crimson Retrace magic array. With this information, we might be able to find out if this so-called 'master' is still at the Old Earth. That way, we can find out if he's the one behind all this. "
Compared to using the magic array, it would be much easier to find the master's blood. Thewis lowered his head awkwardly. "I asked Eureka to take care of the blood, so …"
Thus, the matter had once again reached a dead end, and there was nothing he could do.
There was another way, which was to kill Eureka. However, Thewis would not do such a thing. Sunders could do it, but the profit he would get from it was not as high as he expected.
Besides, Sunders didn't want to help Thewis find the master of the treasure, and he didn't want to get involved in this.
If it wasn't for the fact that Angor was involved, Sunders wouldn't even care about it.
"If we can't find the way, we'll talk to Eureka herself," Sunders said.
Eureka had already lost her mind. What good would it do to talk to her?
"We don't know if Eureka has lost her self-awareness. But at least I'm sure she hasn't completely forgotten something. "Sunders glanced at White Bear. His meaning was self-explanatory.
Thewis realized that the only reason Eureka was able to stay in the Exile Dimension was because Eureka didn't show any hostility towards him. This meant that Eureka still had some kind of memory of him.
White Bear, on the other hand, was the person Eureka cared about the most. If White Bear could go with her, he might be able to help Eureka regain her sanity.
Even if it was only for a moment, White Bear would be happy to get the "blood information" from Eureka.
"Eureka always goes on a rampage at night. Even the Exile Space can't hold her. Speaking of which, last night was the only night Eureka stayed in the Exile Space peacefully. " Thewis looked at White Bear. "It must be Hobson. Maybe he can do something to Eureka."
White Bear pointed at himself in confusion. "Me? Wait. How do you know my name? "
"You still don't know?" Thewis glanced at White Bear in confusion. "Then why are you here?"
White Bear looked at Angor.
"You brought him here?" Thewis looked at Angor in confusion. I don't think Eureka told you anything about Hobson. "
"The prophecy." "When you came to Padt Manor and messed up my place, I found myself in the center of the prophecy. I didn't want to do it, but I had no choice. "
Thewis understood the sarcasm in Angor's tone.
Thewis didn't say anything and looked at White Bear again.
Eureka already told him that White Bear was an apprentice of prophecy. He knew that White Bear had been trying to track down his past, but Eureka was able to hide it from him with her power of concealment.
Since they came to Padt Manor, they could use White Bear's connection with Angor, who was from Padt Manor, to find their way here.
"I know your name because Eureka told me about it." Thewis turned to the white bear and said, "Eureka told me about you."
"So Eureka, the 'Tainted Blood Stinger', is really my relative?" White Bear asked in excitement.
"Well, if Eureka wakes up, I'll let her tell you herself."
Thewis didn't say it out loud, but he already knew the answer.
"Let's not waste time. It's daytime now, and Eureka's condition is better now. I'll take you to her right away." With that, Thewis pulled White Bear into the Exile Space.
"Wait." Angor suddenly stopped him.
"I've answered most of your questions. However, we also need an answer to our question. "
"Can the people affected by the Crimson Crown be freed?"
