• A shopkeeper told Fanxin that bloody apparitions appeared on the fifteenth of every month and that investigators who pursued them had vanished or gone mad.

He recruited her into the Heavenly Soul Pirates and learned that Celestial Dragons would visit the Prague Kingdom in a month, making it his next destination.
