《Blood Moon Wolf Heart》

Chapter 010 The Legend of the Ancient Artifact

In the ancient legends of the three tribes, there are mysterious stories about artifacts. These powerful items created by the gods, each of which contains enough power to change the world. However, since the end of the war a thousand years ago, most of the artifacts have mysteriously disappeared, leaving only fragmented legends circulating in the world.

In the deepest secret room of the Blood Clan Castle, Blood Emperor Dracul is studying an ancient book "Artifact Chronicle" written in dragon blood. This book records the information of all known artifacts and is one of the precious books that the Blood Clan seized from the gods in the war a thousand years ago.

"Adrian," Dracul's voice echoed in the empty secret room, "Come and see this."

Prince Adrian walked towards his father, with doubts flashing in his eyes. Since the night of the blood moon prophecy, his father's behavior has become more and more mysterious, always studying some ancient books and prophecies.

"Father, are you studying the legend of the artifact again?" Adrian asked.

"It's not just a legend," Dracul turned the page and pointed to a passage, "According to the Blood Moon Prophecy, only by gathering three core artifacts can the Blood Moon Curse be completely broken or strengthened. And now, we must find these artifacts earlier than other races."

Adrian read the contents of the book carefully. According to records, the Protoss created countless artifacts during their reign, but the three most important ones are called the "Three Artifacts of Destiny":

**The first one: Tears of Moonlight**

This is a gem condensed from the tears of the Moon God, showing a pure silver-white light. Legend has it that it can purify all evil and hatred and heal the deepest spiritual trauma. In the Protoss era, Tears of Moonlight were used to quell disputes between races and were a symbol of peace.

According to legend, Tears of Moonlight are hidden in the Frost Temple in the North and guarded by an ancient ice dragon. The temple is built on the top of an iceberg that never melts, surrounded by deadly storms. Only those with a pure heart and a strong will can pass the test and approach this artifact.

**The second item: Heart of Blood Flame**

This is a ruby ​​burning with eternal flames, containing the dual power of creation and destruction. It can give the holder powerful magical power, but it will also amplify the holder's inner desires and ambitions. In the Protoss era, the Heart of Blood Flame was used to forge the most powerful magic weapon.

The Heart of Blood Flame is hidden in the volcanic islands of the South China Sea, and it is guarded by the legendary phoenix. To obtain this artifact, the challenger must pass the trial of fire and prove that he has enough power to control this powerful energy.

**The third item: Key of Time and Space**

This is a mysterious key made of star fragments, which has the ability to control time and space. It can open the door to anywhere and even reverse time for a short time. In the Protoss era, the Key of Time and Space was the exclusive item of the high priest to maintain the order of the whole world.

The location of the Key of Time and Space is the most mysterious. Legend has it that it is hidden in a constantly moving void castle. This castle wanders on the boundary between reality and illusion, and only appears at a specific time and place.

"These three artifacts," Dracul continued to explain, "if controlled by evil forces, can strengthen the blood moon curse and make the three tribes forever sink into hatred. But if controlled by pure love, it can completely purify the curse and bring permanent peace to the world."

Adrian frowned: "Do other races know this information?"

"Of course," Dracul sneered, "Wolves and humans have their own ancient books. Once the three-tribe meeting is over, the battle for the artifacts will officially begin. By then, the conflict between the three tribes will reach its highest peak in a thousand years."

Dracul closed the book, with ambition flashing in his eyes: "Adrian, this is the real reason why I sent you to the meeting. You must closely observe the abilities of the wolf princess and judge whether she has the potential to become our ally or threat. If she is really the candidate in the prophecy, we need to reconsider our strategy."

At the same time, in the Royal Library of the Wolf Kingdom, Elder Sage was introducing similar content to Luna. However, the wolf's book "Natural Codex" pays more attention to the relationship between artifacts and natural forces.

"Princess," Sage pointed to an ancient painting depicting the Tears of Moonlight, "According to our records, this artifact has a special connection with the wolf tribe. According to legend, the first generation of wolf kings gained the ability to transform under the blessing of the Tears of Moonlight."

Luna carefully observed the gems in the painting, and felt something resonating deep in her heart. That feeling was like calling her to find this artifact.

"Elder Sage," Luna asked, "If we find these artifacts, can we really change the fate of the three tribes?"

Sage's expression became complicated: "In theory, it is possible, but the power of the artifact is too strong, and the slightest carelessness may bring greater disasters. Moreover, it is said that the artifacts will choose their masters autonomously, and not everyone can control them."

In the Royal Mage Tower of the Human Empire, Archmage Grant is reporting his research results to Emperor Magnus.

"Your Majesty," Grant unfolded a parchment with a complex magic circle, "According to the information we have collected from various channels, these three artifacts do exist, and their power is enough to determine the future of the entire continent."

Magnus studied the magic circle carefully: "If we can find these artifacts before other races..."

"Then we can rule this continent forever," Grant continued, "but the problem is that the guardians of the artifacts are extremely powerful, and obtaining the artifacts requires passing various tests. These tests not only test strength, but more importantly, test character and motivation."

Magnus frowned: "You mean, the artifact may not choose us?"

"This is indeed a risk," Grant answered frankly, "but we can use other methods. For example, let those who are more 'suitable' get the artifacts, and then we will find a way to take it from them."

While the three races were preparing for the artifacts, Oracle, who really knew the secrets of the artifacts, was worried about another problem.

There is a detail in the legend of the artifact that has been overlooked by all races: the three instruments of destiny can not only break or strengthen the blood moon curse, but they themselves will also have a profound impact on the holder.

The Tears of Moonlight will put the holder under great mental pressure, because it will force the holder to feel all the pain and sorrow in the world.

The Heart of Blood Flame will amplify the holder's desires, so that even the kindest people may fall into demons.

The Key of Time and Space will allow the holder to see countless possible futures, but this predictive ability often leads to mental breakdown.

"Children," Oracle looked at the preparations of the three tribes in the crystal ball, full of worries, "You are about to face not only the guardian of the artifact, but also the test of the artifact itself. I only hope that your love is strong enough to resist the corrosion of these ancient forces."

Oracle knows that once the battle for the artifact begins, the conflict between the three tribes will enter a white-hot stage. Countless innocent lives will be lost in this battle, and countless families will be broken.

But this is also the only chance to break the thousand-year curse. Only by passing the most brutal test and enduring the greatest pain can the power of true love be finally proven.

As night falls, the territories of the three tribes are making final preparations for the upcoming challenge. Tomorrow, the delegations of each tribe will set off for the neutral territory to attend the three-tribe meeting, which is ostensibly for peace but may actually lead to a greater war.

After that, the real test has just begun. The legend of the artifact is about to turn from legend to reality, and the gears of fate will turn faster until all grievances are finally resolved.

In this coming storm, the love of Luna and Adrian will be the only light of hope, but no one can be sure whether this light can penetrate the darkness of a thousand years.
