Since Field Marshal only shared her grimoire attack page partially with Wyatt's grimoire, he could only use Corey's blood curse subst.i.tute card equipped in it.

The blood curse subst.i.tute was a patsy made of blood curse meaning power created using Corey's blood as a medium, its soul pathway arrangments were similar to that of Corey. This was why the roots of Handsome Fox's ability never realized that they had been transferred to a subst.i.tute and were no longer in the original Corey.

So Field Marshal Heatsend trying to find the roots in the blood curse subst.i.tute cards was very much similar to her trying to find the roots in original Corey's body. Therefore, it was not surprising that Field Marshal Heatsend who was not a professional card master or array master was having difficulty distinguishing the roots from the soul pathway.

Giving Wyatt partial access to her grimoire attack page, Field Marshal Heatsend's eyes monitored Wyatt's eyes feeling that this moment was perfect for her to test Wyatt's unique eyes. She had a feeling if she could use her attack-type unique eyes to support her in card creation then Wyatt too would be able to use his support-type unique eyes to help him with card creation.

Knowing that Field Marshal Heatsend had developed a suspicion about his origin card, Wyatt did not dare to recklessly use his Soul Pupils and decided to use it when necessary. So gaining partial access to Field Marshal Heatsend's grimoire attack page, he did not immediately activate his Soul Pupils to help her pinpoint the roots apart from the soul pathways in the card to use her curse card on it. Rather he had the Hive AI access his memory and help him map where he had transferred the roots into Corey's blood curse subst.i.tute.

Soon with the help of the map provided by the Hive AI Wyatt traced the roots in the soul pathways of Corey's blood curse subst.i.tute without using his soul pupil, solely relying on his spiritual sense like a regular golden-grade card creationist.

After confirming the roots traced by Wyatt in the soul pathway of the blood curse subst.i.tute card were precise and accurate, Field Marshal Heatsend was baffled, she could not comprehend how Wyatt was able to tell the roots apart from the soul pathway just using his spiritual sense. Though Wyatt's spiritual sense was stronger and purer than other card masters, his achievement remained a riddle to her because she was not able to achieve the same with spiritual intent a.s.sisted by her unique eyes.

Even with the help of Wyatt's trace mark, it was still very difficult for the Field Marshal to tell the roots apart from the soul pathways. She had to look for it very carefully even with Wyatt's trace mark as a reference, she was afraid to blink because she was worried she would lose track of the roots.

Even with a.s.sistance from Wyatt's trace mark differentiating the root from the soul pathways proved very stressful on Field Marshal's spiritual intent, she wondered how her husband's junior brother and Wyatt were able to do it without any a.s.sistance. Not only had Wyatt differentiated the root from its victim's Soul pathways but he had transferred it into the victim's subst.i.tute with the foresight of using it to track the enemy.

Even her husband's junior brother had not thought of it. Field Marshal could not help but marvel at Wyatt's presence of mind and foresight. She sighed repeatedly in her heart thinking that none of the royal children were Wyatt's match in any field. Then shook her head thinking comparing Wyatt to Royal children who have seen no struggle in life would belittle Wyatt's struggle to achieve so much despite being an orphan with a humble background.

"Your Highness," Wyatt called out seeing that Field Marshal was taking too long to locate the roots despite the a.s.sistance of his trace mark.

"Yes, I located the roots, now I will be using the tracking curse card," Field Marshal Heatsend announced as she gave Wyatt access to partially view her grimoire attack page as she used the tracking curse card on the roots in the soul pathways of Corey's blood curse subst.i.tute.

Field Marshal had to precisely use the curse on roots to use it as a medium to track Handsome Fox to whom the roots belonged, if she were to by mistake use it on the soul pathways then the curse would track Corey to whom the blood curse subst.i.tute belonged.

Still, the result of the curse would be inconclusive since Corey was in the Blood Rock Cave dungeon seal, which was in a separate s.p.a.ce and protected by a strong dungeon seal, the result of tracking her would only be inconclusive just like how Yin Widow was not able to track her demiG.o.d Redfall when he was in the dungeon seal.

"Moment of truth," Field Marshal muttered as she used the tracking curse card of her ancestor on the roots. Soon the curse card's info began to note down a set of coordinates.

"Got you," Wyatt exclaimed seeing the coordinates, and then asked, " Your Highness, where is this?"

Before the Field Marshal could the curse card's info began to write a second set of coordinates. Seeing this both Wyatt and Field Marshal Heatsend were puzzled wondering how can a person be in two places at the same time.

Then the card began to write a third set of coordinates. Causing Field Marshal's frown to grow deeper. As for Wyatt, he grew calm understanding what was happening.

"Do you know what is happening?" Field Marshal asked Wyatt seeing that his turbulent expression suddenly turned calm.

"Yes, the curse is tracking the roots. That is every victim Handsome Fox has used his ability on," Wyatt answered with a very tranquil voice.

Witnessing Wyatt's tranquility as she heard his explanation Field Marshal also calmed down. Believing that Wyatt must have something else up his sleeve otherwise, it would be difficult for him to be this calm after seeing his only bet to track Handsome Fox fail.

"So, what's your next plan?" Field Marshal asked believing Wyatt must have another plan.

"To mark these coordinates on the map, this way we can figure out which region he is more active in," Wyatt replied, he did not plan to disregard these coordinates as he found a lot of value in them to find Handsome Fox.

"That is it?"

"No, there is a plan B but first let us see plan A to the end," Wyatt did not let his emotions towards Handsome Fox dictate his actions. He understood finding Handsome Fox would require him to think clearly.

"Okay," Field Marshal nodded in understanding. Then she gave the curse card access to the confidential world map in her grimoire and shared access to view it with Wyatt.

"This is better," Wyatt said as he viewed the confidential world map marked with red dots by the curse card. The red dots were none other than the location of the victims containing roots in them.

As Wyatt viewed the map, he notice that there was a slit difference in brightness in each red dot marked on the map by the curse card. He asked Field Marshal about it, "Your Highness, why do the red dots marked by the card have a varying brightness?"

"The brightness signifies the realm of the target being tracked by the card," Field Marshal answered.

"That's handy," Wyatt had also noticed that the red dots can be divided into eleven levels of brightness. Now that he knew they signified the realm of the target being tracked. He could not marvel at the foresight of the Heatsend ancestor who created these tracking curse cards. Small details like this separate the true master from the regular master.

After a few minutes, the Curse Card finally tracked all the people with roots in them and marked their location on the map. Looking at the finished map, Field Marshal replied, "It seems that guy is mostly active in the central capital like the rest of the crooks. Surprisingly, the old geezers did not take notice of him yet."

"Yes, but he is from the Northern Region," Wyatt announced surprising the Field Marshal.

"How can you tell that by seeing this map?" Field Marshal asked in disbelief.

"Notice the red dot in the Northern region, as a whole they are dimmer than the rest of the red dots and mostly gathered in a single place. If you check the coordinates of these red dots in the grimoire network you will find that all these red dots are mostly in cemeteries," Wyatt explained, there were only nine realms in the card world power system, but the red dots have eleven sets of brightness. What did the other two sets of brightness signify then? The mortal and dead targets.

"I see" Field Marshal nodded understanding what Wyatt was hinting at.
