Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 82

In the two-story building that was half-grounded, Lumian and Aurore ate their belated lunch in silence.

The mutton that should have been tender seemed to have no taste in their mouths.

After barely filling his stomach, Lumian was about to put away the dishes when he suddenly heard the sound of clanking coming from far away.

"Liya and the others?" He turned around and looked at the door.

Aurore also noticed it, put down the knife and fork in her hand, and looked up at the door.

Not long after, their doorbell rang.

Lumian did not hesitate, stood up and left his seat, walked to the door, and looked at the visitors outside through the peephole.

Those were indeed Liya and the other three foreigners.

The difference from the previous parting was that Valentine finally changed his clothes - he sometimes ignited himself under the influence of the "victim's" breath. Although his physical injuries were cured by Mrs. Pualis, the burn Broken clothes cannot be restored to their original condition.

Lumian opened the door and smiled enthusiastically:

'My cabbages, you miss me so soon?

"Hey, can you change clothes?"

Valentine no longer wears a white vest with a blue tweed jacket, but a yellow vest with a black formal suit, and the trousers are still dark; Liya's white cashmere skirt has a white cloth flower on the abdomen and wrist. One large and two small, covering the damage

His sewing skills were quite good; as for Ryan, Lumian couldn't tell that he had changed clothes, nor could he find any traces of previous injuries. He suspected that this guy had prepared at least two sets of the same clothes.

"We have achieved certain results in those two things." Ryan replied calmly, using his eyes to indicate that he should enter before talking.

Lumian turned back to consult his sister for advice, opened the door completely, and invited the three official investigators in.

This was the first time Ryan and the others met Aurore, and they greeted each other politely.

"The constellations are about to change, and the villagers will have good luck. It was initially confirmed that the priest found someone to broadcast the news."

After sitting down at the dining table, Ryan went straight to the topic without saying anything, "But I don't think it's that simple. This technique and rhetoric are very similar to the style of a country witch. The priest should not be able to think of it."

A country witch refers to a person in a small town or village who works part-time to predict good and bad luck.

Aurore nodded thoughtfully:

"Is it influenced by the dead wizard?

"Well, this is a trick to induce the villagers to secretly worship the evil god.

"The villagers believed it so easily?" Valentine was very angry.

He looked like why the people in Kordu Village were so stupid.

It's not because belief in "eternal love" cannot help them escape poverty.

And from time to time, she had to be bullied by the priest and the offensive officer... Omoner didn't say this complaint out loud, because she was afraid that Valentine would fight against her.

She could even imagine that when some villagers were bewitched and began to worship evil gods, they would more or less receive some benefits from the priest and his followers, such as contributions to the "Eternal Blazing Sun" It can be reduced by half. For example, not only will they no longer be bullied by Pence and Bene, but they can also use the name of this villain to scare the annoying neighbors. In short, they will truly feel that their "luck" has changed and their lives have improved. Hope, so the faith became more sincere.

Of course, this does not make Aurore feel that the villagers did the right thing. After all, the government and the church mainly want money, while the cult wants lives.

No one answered Valentine's question, only Lumian made a "well-intentioned" suggestion:

"This requires you to ask them yourself and do an in-depth investigation of why beliefs change so easily.

"If you really find the answer to this, I think the Holy Father will appreciate you very much.

The Pope is a title given to the Pope of the Church of the Eternal Fierce Sun. The highest leaders of many churches can also be called this. Lumian didn't understand it at first, but found out after reading the reference materials Auroer bought.

Valentine was silent, feeling vaguely moved.

Aurore looked at Ryan and changed the topic:

"Have you also found the whereabouts of Sybil's husband, Jean Maury?"

Ryan glanced sideways at Liya and motioned for her to speak.

Liya nodded and said: "We sneaked into Jean Mory's house and took away an item that belonged to him.

"With the help of this item, I performed a dream divination."

Dream divination...Aurora nodded slightly, not surprised at all.

When Lumian described the exploration of the castle yesterday, she had already guessed their respective paths and approximate sequences based on the performance of the three official investigators:

Obviously, Liya belongs to the more common "Soothsayer" path in Intis, and is not a Sequence 9 "Soothsayer" or a Sequence 8 "Joker", but at least a Sequence 7 "Magician". This is different from the "Paper Man Substitute" , "damage transfer" and other extraordinary abilities, as well as being good at divination and acrobatic skills can be inferred.

What Omen'er is not sure about is whether Liya has reached Sequence 6, because she doesn't know much about the subsequent situation of this path.

Valentine belongs to the "Sun", the main path controlled by the "Eternal Fierce Sun" church. Similarly, he definitely not only has Sequence 9 "Singer" and Sequence 8 "Light Prayer", Aurore also has "Summoning Holy Light" , "Making Holy Water", "Solar Halo", etc., it is inferred that he is a Sequence 7 "Sun Priest", and should not be a Sequence 6 "Notary", and has not shown the corresponding abilities.

Ryan's extraordinary ability is not a common type for Intis, he should be a "warrior".

This path is mainly controlled by the "God of War" Church of the Fusac Empire in the north, but in the past five or six years, various countries have gained a lot of Extraordinary people and extraordinary creatures of the "Warrior" path.

In the Curly Hair Buddha Research Association, there are several members who have chosen this path either actively or passively.

As far as Aurore knows, this is also called the "Giant" path. Sequence 9 is a "Warrior", Sequence 8 is a "Fighter", Sequence 7 is a "Weapon Master", and Sequence 6 is a qualitative change compared to the previous ones. Called "Dawn Knights", they have the power of giants and can create "dawn light" in a certain area around them, eliminating illusions and negative and evil energies.

They can also condense the full-body armor called "Dawn" on their body surface and the weapons they are good at using. Among them, the most powerful is the "Sword of Dawn", a two-handed giant sword. With the "Sword of Dawn", they can Launch the most powerful attack in this sequence - "Storm of Light", which can destroy the human body, destroy the souls of enemies, and even traumatize evil spirits.

Based on Ji En's performance, Aurore believes that he is a Sequence 6 "Dawn Knight", but he should not have become a Sequence 5 "Guardian" yet.

Aurore originally felt that these three official investigators were no worse than herself, but now she found that each one was really better than the other. Without preparation, she could not win against any one of them.

You must know that in the official classification, Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 are considered to be low-sequences. They just have some more special abilities than ordinary people, but their flaws are also obvious. Sequences 7 to 5 are mid-sequences, and they begin to have transcendence capabilities. earthly power

Quantity, Sequence 4 and above belong to the realm of demigods, and are truly high-sequences.

According to some members of the Curly Hair Buddha Research Association who are lurking in the official organization, to deal with ordinary extraordinary events, one mid-sequence and two low-sequences usually form a three-person team to launch the first wave of investigation, and then invest in the follow-up depending on the situation. Higher-end power, and this time, in the face of the anomalies in Kordu Village, Intis officials sent three mid-level forces at once, which cannot be said to be ignored.

But even this kind of joint investigation team seems not enough to be seen in Kordu Village.

Aurore had already shared this information with Lumian. At this time, both siblings listened quietly to Liya's continued story.

"In the dream divination, I saw the shepherd Pierre Berry. He came out with some nails wrapped around his hair and stuffed them into the haystack." Liya described what she saw in the most concise words. to the screen.

Haystacks... nails and hair... Lumian instantly recalled what he had discovered under the guidance of the three sheep.

He also found some nails tangled in hair in a haystack in the Berry family's sheep pen.

He frowned and said:

"Those are the nails and hair that belonged to Jean Maury?"

"He was killed by the shepherd Pierre Berry, at the Berry house?"

Auroer nodded with Ruo:

"Originally, the custom of hiding nails and hair outside the house to avoid affecting the family's horoscope and luck was limited to family members who had a bad reputation or were killed in vain, as well as those who were murdered by relatives, but because Jean Maury was The shepherd was killed when he entered his house, so Pierre and Berry carefully cut off the other's nails, took some of his hair, and hid it in the haystack outside the house?"

"No wonder there were... I'm afraid they belonged to the previous victim. They arrived

How many people were secretly killed? Lumian suddenly sneered, "That's all."

Now, you still want to not affect your own zodiac sign and luck? "

"Ignorance!" Valentine yelled angrily.

He, Ryan, and Liya had previously been informed by Lumian about the three sheep, haystacks, and corresponding folk customs.

After discussing for a while, they decided not to make any other attempts for the time being. After observing the reactions of the priest and the others, Liya and others told Lumian and Aurore to return to the old tavern.

The siblings did not mention the speculation at noon, fearing that it would affect the will of the official investigators to break the loop from the inside. After all, they might just be affected and hope to escape with external help.

After clearing the table and helping wash it, Lumian returned to his room and lay down on the bed.

He was in a complicated mood and had many thoughts and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He slowly calmed down and fell into a deep sleep by doing preliminary meditation.

In the room filled with light gray fog, Lumian opened his eyes and sat up.

He lowered his head and looked at his chest. His eyes seemed to penetrate the barrier between the gray-white cotton shirt and flesh and blood, and he saw the black thorn symbol and the blue-black pattern.

Is this the source and cause of the cycle? Lumian muttered silently to himself.

The black thorn symbol is the root of the problem, and the blue-black pattern brings the blessing of that great being, leaving Kordu Village with room for salvation.

And it all goes back nearly six years.

Lumian remembers clearly that at that time, he was still wandering, barely surviving on the strength of being easily looked down upon at a young age and being ruthless beyond his years.

Then, one day, he met the dying old man.

Maybe it's because I just accumulated a little bit, and my whole body is floating, or maybe it's the old man

It reminded him of his only relative, his grandfather who had raised him until he was 10 years old but unfortunately passed away. Lumian chose to provide some help.

Although he ultimately failed to save the old man's life, Lumian still sent him to the crematorium and buried him in a free cemetery.

The blue-black symbol was what he discovered on the old man's body during this process. From then on, he often dreamed about a large gray fog.

His luck was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't find enough food at first. Fortunately, not long after, he met Aurore.
