Magic: My equipment slots have no restrictions

The wolf quickly stopped in front of a cave and growled twice, signaling the two people on its back to go inside.

Victor glanced toward the cave.

The entrance is an irregular circle, seemingly large enough for a demon wolf to pass through.

Extending inward from the entrance, one can see three layers of slowly rotating magic arrays in silver, blue, and gray.

"My family has also set up a similar magic array to ward off the night, so it seems we can get through tonight safely."

Elena glanced at the magic circle, her eyes immediately lighting up, and she excitedly explained it to the boy.

Hearing her say that, Viktor dispelled the slight doubt in his heart.

He believed the wolf wouldn't lie to him, but he was worried that what the corrupted creatures could use, humans might not be able to use.

"Okay, let's go down."

As he spoke, he dismounted.

Elena followed closely behind.

The wolf stepped forward and led the two into the passage.

As soon as he passed through the formation, the surrounding environment immediately turned pitch black, and Viktor's vision was greatly limited.

I vaguely heard a girl's soft gasp from the side.

Aside from this little incident, there was no further conversation on the way.

Fortunately, not long after he went deeper into the passage, he could faintly see a faint green light ahead.

"Waaah... (Those are corrupt lanterns)."

The demon wolf offered a timely reminder.

Viktor lacks dark vision and cannot see very far.

As he got closer and saw what was in front of him, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

The space ahead was vast, with lantern-shaped plants hanging in various corners of the cave walls, but the dim light could not illuminate the entire cavern.

But Viktor could still clearly see the corrupted wolves resting around in the crypt.

"It smells...it stinks."

Elena wrinkled her nose and whispered.

To her, every corner of the Corrupted Land reeked of a foul stench, and it wasn't until she and Victor killed the three that she could barely get used to the smell.

But this den of wolves was home to no fewer than thirty corrupt and monstrous wolves.

The pungent smell was like someone had moved a pile of fermented dog poop into the bedroom, almost making a person faint.

"Just bear with it for now."

Seeing the girl's face turn green, Viktor suppressed a laugh and asked her with concern.

The Son of Thorns could only smell a tiny bit of the stench, and in his perception, the surrounding stench could even be absorbed.

He was worried that absorbing it would turn him into something neither human nor ghost, which is why he didn't absorb it.

"Waaah...waaah...(Here I can observe the outside world, and I can sleep whenever I want)."

After circling around several demon wolves, the one that had led the way left those words behind and then went to find a place to lie down and rest.

It was only after it pointed it out that Victor noticed a carved round stone in the right corner of the cave.

Its surface is covered with runes, glowing with a purple light.

【Eye of Darkness (Purple)】

[Note: An ancient thief glimpsed the secrets of the gods; before his life was sealed, he gouged out his own eyes.]

Effect 1: By twisting it, you can peek into the real night sky.

Effect 2: (Requires a special item to trigger)

Viktor's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart pounded.

Purple...purple item, a dual-effect item, for me?

The system is really going all out!

He quickly suppressed his overwhelming joy and walked calmly to the stone, examining it closely.

The stone is about half the size of a basketball, and it's impossible to tell whose eyeball it is. Just by looking at the description, the thief must have been quite skilled.

He thought for a moment and was about to put the stone into his equipment slot when he heard a curious question from behind him:

"Is this stone a treasure of the dire wolves?"

"..."

Viktor paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered what the demon wolf had said earlier.

The other person told me that I could see the outside world from here.

In other words, the corrupted creatures understood the power of the stone and probably regarded it as a treasure of this place.

Taking it rashly might cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Viktor smiled, feeling no regret.

He was quite nonchalant about it; anyway, the second effect of this thing hadn't been activated yet, so he could just take it and look at the night sky.

"Brother Demon Wolf just told me."

He bent down, picked up the stone, and faced the girl:

"This stone can help us see the outside world."

"Really...really?"

Elena's furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and her listless expression turned into joy.

"certainly."

Victor smiled. In the original owner's memories, almost no one dared to look directly at the night sky.

The night is too dangerous, so dangerous that you could lose your life as soon as you go out.

As for the night sky, everyone agrees that "you should never look directly at the moon."

That's why Elena was so surprised.

"Let's take a look together, Mr. Victor!"

The girl gasped softly, her face flushed, and her golden eyes widened.

Victor, not wanting to spoil the fun, held the stone in his left hand and began to gently twist it with his right.

"Click".

With a soft sound, the runes covering the stone surface released a faint purple light and began to slowly move and rotate.

The speed gradually increased until Viktor could no longer see it clearly.

He felt a stinging sensation in his eyes and couldn't help but blink.

When I opened my eyes again, everything around me had changed.

The wolves were gone, the ghostly light was gone, leaving only boundless darkness and Elena before him.

The other person was staring blankly at the sky, their eyes empty, as if they had been frightened by something.

Viktor was puzzled, looked up, and his body stiffened instantly.

in view.

Three different colored moons formed a triangle, occupying the entire starless night sky.

Silver, blue, gray.

The three colors coexisted, but they did not intertwine, nor did they illuminate the entire continent.

The night was unusually dark and so silent it was suffocating, making it hard to breathe.

In an instant, Viktor felt a stinging pain in his eyes and instinctively closed them.

"There were two moons in the sky, two silver moons... Mr. Victor, are you alright?"

Elena's gentle voice reached Viktor's ears, but it made his eyes hurt even more, and his head started to ache as well.

"Ha..." He took a deep breath, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

Isn't it said in folk tradition that there is only one moon in the sky?

Why did Elena see two moons?

Why am I seeing three wheels... and what's more, they're three moons of different colors?

After a while, Viktor recovered, opened his eyes and looked around, and found that everything had returned to normal.

"Mr. Victor?"

Elena stared at him with concern, her eyes filled with worry.

Meanwhile, the Eye of Darkness had been returned to its original position by the opponent at some point, and had already returned to its original appearance.

"I'm fine."

Viktor shook his head, not inquiring about what had happened before, but instead meeting those golden eyes:

"Promise me, Elena, you won't tell anyone about what happened today, not even your family, okay?"

His tone was serious, and his rather handsome face also showed a hint of sternness, making him look even more rugged.

"I, I..."

The girl blushed slightly under the stare.

She wouldn't have acted this way if she had met Viktor before, but after what had happened, she had already developed feelings for Viktor that she herself didn't understand.

"Could you do something for me?"

She turned her head away, not daring to look directly at the boy.

Victor looked puzzled, wondering what the girl wanted him to do.

Then, the girl's next words caused his expression to change slightly:

"You can't refuse me, after all... you don't want me to tell Father, do you, Mr. Victor?"
