Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 81

Beside the small river that meanders outside the village of Kordu, Aurore sat on the ground in the bright sunshine, wearing a light blue dress, and listened to Lumian's song feedback and speculation with her eyes closed.

She didn't say anything for a while, as if she was lost in thought.

After nearly a minute, Aurore spoke carefully: "What if something happened to the ceremony on Twelfth Night, causing the power of the hidden existence to dissipate, bringing time to the entire Kordu Village and the surrounding areas?" cycle, then I believe that no one or even the spirit in this area at that time could be spared."

"What do you mean?" Lumian, who was also sitting on the ground, didn't understand his sister's logic.

Aurore explained in detail: "What I mean is that it is both power and pollution. Once it dissipates, all dairy residents in this area will bear this pollution relatively equally."

"The ability to be protected by the black thorn symbol or other high-level beings is barely affected. Think about it, wasn't the situation like a dam breaking and quickly flooding the entire place, including the roof? Unless ships are prepared in advance, otherwise The body will definitely get wet."

Lumian imagined such a scene and said hesitantly: "In other words, everyone in the village has been contaminated by the dissipated power, which is equivalent to being part of the cycle? Doesn't part of what he said mean joining the cycle and being affected by the cycle? A more accurate expression would be the closed eyes of the vehicle components that make up the cycle."

Aurore, who had blond hair and lightly tied her head, nodded slightly: "I suspect that not only killing the priest will cause a restart, but killing the villagers of Kordube will also cause a similar situation. This is equivalent to trying to destroy the components of the cycle, which is inevitable. There will be organ changes in the breast system causing reproductive stress."

"But we just killed the midwife yesterday afternoon..." Lumian didn't finish his sentence and stopped on his own.

Midwife.....

He thought of a lot in an instant and said hesitantly: "Is this because the people in the castle are blessed by other high-ranking beings? Is this why Mrs. Pualis said she could escape at a specific moment?"

She is not tainted by that power, can't she be part of the cycle, belong to the affected people, and can use a loophole or opportunity to leave? please

Aurore sighed softly: "That's why she said she couldn't save us or take us out because we have been contaminated and are one with the cycle."

At this point, she smiled bitterly: "In other words, we are already dead, currently. We are alive in the form of cyclic components."

No wonder the mysterious lady said that if she forcibly broke the cycle, everyone here would die, because we are the cycle itself that was forcibly removed.

Lumian was silent. He wanted to refute his sister and say that she was not so pessimistic, but this confirmed the words of the mysterious lady.

What he has never been able to understand is that with the lady's ability to freely enter and exit the cycle, and her courage to mention the hidden existence, even if the cycle cannot be broken without damage, two or three people can be blessed.

It should be an easy and relaxing thing for this person to leave.

Now there is a more reasonable and more desperate explanation.

After a few seconds, Lumian looked for a counterexample: "Ava, Raymond, and Naroka are all dead, and it didn't cause the cycle to restart."

Aurore said with a complicated smile, "Maybe they were already dead at the beginning of the cycle and did not participate in the ceremony of Twelfth Night, so they were not contaminated."

Her meaning is very clear. In the world before the cycle, Naroka died before Lent, and Ava and Raymond were sacrificed at the celebration. They did not wait until Twelfth Night. They did not belong to the cycle. part.

She thought for a moment and then said: "Jean Maury, who disappeared today, may be in the same situation. According to the normal development, he should have discovered an abnormality after Lent and before Twelfth Night, and wanted to escape, but was brutally silenced." , our investigation just brought this matter forward. The only thing I can't figure out is, wasn't Raymond's body sacrificed? He shouldn't have been there at the beginning of the cycle..."

After hearing his sister's words, Lumian immediately thought of what happened underground in the church.

The invisible man in the black robe is made up of the spirits of Raymond and others!

Lumian combined the occult knowledge he had mastered and tried to sacrifice to the hidden existence. However, Xi's sacrifice was not a direct sacrifice and speculated: Maybe the altar on the Lenten celebration was part of the Twelfth Night ceremony, so The spirit of Raymond will appear under the church.

His body has no function, but in the initial development before the cycle, Poncebene and others can leave Cordu. In order to prevent him from letting the beauties downstream discover the body, they report it to the superior and attract a large number of investigations. They may have retrieved the body after completing the floating part of the ritual.

After the cycle started, the power had its own limits and could not reach the place where Poncebene and the others retrieved the body. They were affected by the pollution in their bodies and could not think of leaving the area.

Aurore thought for a moment and nodded in agreement; "In this cycle of so many days, except for you who have retained the memory, the three strangers, Mrs. Pualis and her men, no other villagers have left Kordu Village and entered the mountains. The idea of hunting and gathering wild fruits."

"If I hadn't been reminded by you, I would be the same way." At this point, Aurore showed a sad and self-deprecating smile: "We are already a group of monsters, and we can barely survive as humans by relying on cycles."

"No, there must be a way to save it. The lady said there was." Lumian interrupted his sister's self-pity.

Aurore exhaled slowly and said, "Can't you just let your sister be vulnerable for a few minutes?"

She then said: "According to this idea, we can only rely on ourselves. Breaking the cycle with external force is equivalent to killing us."

Lumian sighed: "Unfortunately, this speculation cannot be verified at present. We can only wait until Twelfth Night to confirm it. The latest and fastest update will be released first."

"Verification can be done, but it will waste a lot of your time, and I can't do it," Aurore replied.

"Yes..." Lumian probably understood his sister's meaning or plan: kill a villager who is currently not in the priest's team to see if it will lead to a restart. If so, then find a way to trap the three foreigners. First, see if it will trigger the cycle. If not, then it will verify Aurore and Lumian's guess.

Most of the people who were in Kordu Village before were contaminated and part of the cycle. Those who came later were only affected by the cycle and had the opportunity to escape from the cycle by using loopholes or the help of external forces.

But that would make the many days of waiting in front of her go to waste, and Aurore was not the kind of person who would kill innocent people, especially one who had already had good cooperation.

Lumian has no moral barriers in this regard. In his opinion, dying in the loop is not really dying. There is a high probability that there are just some remaining problems. This is much better than being trapped in the loop.

Of course, if he really wanted to do this, he would definitely not try to murder or trap Liya and the others, but would directly reason with the three foreigners.

With the fanaticism and piety shown by Valentine, he was quite confident that he needed to convince this guy to commit suicide.

The two siblings looked at each other and fell silent for a moment, saying nothing.

After a while, Lumian changed the subject: "Sister, what do you think is the key to breaking the cycle from within?"

Aurore was thinking about this problem just now, and while thinking about it, she circled: "We can't just eliminate the circulation from the inside. We must use this matter to remove the pollution in every human body, otherwise it will lead to suicide." have."

"What's the difference? Well, according to the previous speculation, there was a change in the ritual, which caused the whole village to enter a cycle. The reason why the ceremony was changed was because the "mark of the great being of the Oxygen Fish" on your body was stimulated and turned you into a cycle. The severe pollution on the body is sealed in the heart..."

As he spoke, Auroer looked up and down at his brother Qu Ling.

Lumian understood instantly: "You mean, I am the key to breaking the cycle?"

Aurore nodded: "The source of the accident is with you, and the key to breaking the cycle may also be with you. Of course, this is just a guess. Maybe the key to the cycle is to withstand the advent of the hidden existence during the Twelfth Night ceremony. A carrier of power, such as a priest or someone else..."

Aurore suddenly fell silent, looked at her brother for a few seconds and said: "Is there a possibility that these two speculations are equivalent, and you are the carrier? Otherwise, as a sacrifice of leftovers and pollutants, even if If something unexpected happens, the ritual will not completely fail and the power will escape uncontrollably."

"Uh..." The more Lumian thought about it, the more he felt that his guess made sense.

He whispered to himself: "So, the black thorn symbol on my chest is darker than the priest's... So, when the priest was paying me against Heban, he suddenly showed signs of losing control and was killed by me. So , that mysterious lady never told me the key to breaking it, but just asked me to explore the ruins of the abandoned dream cycle and unlock the secrets there..."

Aurore was a little excited after hearing this: "Yes, that may be a hint! The ruins of the dream may come directly from the pollution in your body, or be closely related to it. Therefore, when you are there, you can rely on the black thorn symbol to suppress encounters. Every monster that comes."

"And once you master the secrets there, you can control or safely activate the power in your body to a certain extent, and recycle the pollution from every three people in Kordu Village, and the cycle will naturally be broken."

"Well, this may have to be done at a specific time, for example, during the Twelfth Night ceremony."

Lumian stood up and said, "Go back to dreaming now!"

"Don't worry." Aurore stood up slowly with her hands on the ground, "Aren't you injured? Why don't you take a rest?"

Lumian patted his chest: "The water Mrs. Pualis sprinkled healed all the fish's injuries and completely restored their spirituality."

"Uh, is it the nectar of Yangzhi... Guanyin..." Aurore whispered.

"What?" Lumian didn't understand at all. His sister was speaking a very unfamiliar language.

Aurore closed her eyes and smiled slightly: "My warning is, go home to fill your stomach, take a nap, and explore in your dreams!"
