Chapter 103: On the run (4)

Joselina's eyes widened as realization struck her.

"Quick! Follow me!"

She dashed down the corridor and entered a room. Once inside, she grabbed the bed and flipped it over with ease. Beneath it, a hidden compartment was revealed.

Karl walked in and watched as Joselina pulled out an old, large bowl. She blew away the thick layer of dust that had accumulated over time. The bowl appeared to be an ordinary ceramic piece, with intricate leaf engravings adorning its sides.

"What is that?" Karl asked.

Joselina carefully set the heavy bowl down. "Can you pass me that water bottle?" She pointed at the table.

Karl grabbed the bottle and handed it to her. "What's going on? What is this?"

"Shhh! Just watch."

Joselina poured water into the bowl and ran her hands along its sides. Within seconds, the ceramic began to glow, absorbing her mana. The water inside gradually changed color, turning a bright red.
