Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 39

If Pons Benet really entered Naroka's house to take away her hair and nails, it means that Naroka was most likely murdered by a relative. This is because Naroka has a good reputation and is the backbone of the entire family. , and he is relatively healthy physically and mentally, and is unlikely to commit suicide... Lumian quickly made a series of speculations.

If Naroka really died of murder by a relative, then why?

Seeing that her brother was deep in thought and didn't speak for a while, Aurore thought he was frightened by "a man turned into a sheep" and "someone from the Berry family may have died of murder", so she comforted him with a few words:

"Although the matter is serious, it does not affect us yet.

"It seems I have to reflect on it. Always prohibiting you from contacting real occult knowledge can easily make you fearful and panicked when encountering similar things, and you don't know what to do. Well, in this world, in recent years, extraordinary events have happened The frequency of occurrence is getting higher and higher, and I can't be by your side all the time. You will always grow up and have your own life..."

I have never heard that you have to leave your family when you grow up... Lumian retorted in his heart.

He could feel that because of the human being turned into a sheep, Aurore's attitude towards his contact with occult knowledge had relaxed.

If I work harder, I can tell her directly that I have become an Beyonder... Before Lumian could speak, Aurore had already made a decision:

"You go pack your luggage now, we will leave Kordu immediately with the invitation of "Novel Weekly".

"We are so lucky. Such a telegram came at the critical moment, so that we can leave openly without being suspected by anyone.

"Well, I will teach you some real occult knowledge when no one is around during the trip, but don't even think about becoming an extraordinary person. It's too dangerous."

That's not luck. It was a telegram that was sent after discovering the problem. It was only until this cycle that I received a call back... Lumian mumbled silently, feeling pleased that his sister was still the decisive person.

Although he was not optimistic that his siblings would be able to leave Kordu Village smoothly, or break out of the cycle, he had to give it a try.

"Well, those three sheep and three people can't be saved?" Lumian asked tentatively.

Aurore shook her head:

"This may trigger a conflict between us and Pierre Berry, and I'm not sure how strong he is or how many helpers he has. It's too dangerous to blindly save people.

"Let the authorities do it. This is their responsibility. Well, when we arrived in Liege, we bought the steam train tickets and sent an anonymous letter to the authorities and let them handle it."

"But what if they don't believe it?" Lumian asked deliberately.

Aurore smiled:

"You are indeed illiterate when it comes to the occult.

"If we describe the matter of people turning into sheep clearly in the letter, they will naturally ask professionals for divination. Even if they don't get any detailed revelation, they can still find abnormalities in Kordu."

"I understand." Lumian stopped wasting time and went upstairs to pack his luggage.

Not long after, the siblings each came down with a brown suitcase.

Aurore looked outside the door and said:

"Now go to Madame Poialis and ask her to borrow a carriage to reach Liège as soon as possible."

It would take an ordinary person an afternoon to get from Kordu Village to Liège. As a "hunter", Lumian would certainly not have to, but in Aurore's eyes, he was not yet an extraordinary person.

After hesitating for a moment whether to take the opportunity to confess to his sister, and then thinking that it was almost impossible to escape from Kordu Village, he might as well take the opportunity to visit Mrs. Pualis' house and look for clues. Lumian said "hmm":

"OK."

He stretched out his hand, took her suitcases from his sister, carried two of them each and walked towards the door.

Aurore nodded with satisfaction and relief at first, and then said with a little doubt:

"You have become stronger. You can lift it so easily."

She subconsciously wanted to raise her right hand and rub the sides of her eyes, but at this time Lumian had already left the door, so she had to give up trying and quickly follow him.

On the way to the administrator's residence, many villagers saw Aurore going out with her suitcase and curiously inquired about the situation.

Aurore, who has the right reasons, is very open about it.

Lumian, on the other hand, made up seven or eight stories to deal with different villagers.

What about Aurore getting the Legion of Honor from Intis and going to Trier to receive the medal? What about Aurore being specially recruited by the Higher Normal School of Trier and being able to sign up now? What about Aurore going bankrupt in the stock market and her creditors are about to come? They could only flee to other places quickly, and the villagers who had no knowledge of what they heard were stunned for a moment.

Thanks to Lumian's reputation, they all chose not to believe it after they came to their senses.

Not long after, the siblings arrived in front of the black building transformed from an ancient castle.

Looking up at the two tall towers, Lumian smiled and said:

"I don't know what's in there. Aurore, have you ever been in there?"

"How could I wander around in other people's homes?" Aurore rolled her eyes at her brother.

Lumian whispered:

"I thought Mrs. Poialis would invite you to visit the castle. Don't they like to show guests their big houses and precious collections?"

"What's so good about visiting..." Aurore said, her voice getting lower and lower, because she thought that this would be of great help in describing the castle in her work, "Hey, let's talk about it when we have a chance in the future, too. I don’t know if I can go back to Kordu."

She immediately led Lumian through the colorful garden and towards the gate of the castle.

After walking a few steps, Aurore slowed down, looked around a few times, and said doubtfully:

"The flowers in this garden bloom very early..."

Kordu Village is on a mountain with a plateau grassland nearby. Normally, the first wave of spring flowers will not appear until mid-to-late April.

"Perhaps Mrs. Pualis's gardener has a special method." Lumian thought that the lady was an extraordinary person with an abnormal path, and suspected that this was related to some extraordinary phenomenon, but he could not say that.

Aurore just sighed casually, without thinking much, and arrived at the castle with Lumian, and received warm hospitality from Mrs. Pualis.

The lady was wearing a long blue waist dress today, with the diamond necklace inlaid with gold still hanging on her chest. Her long brown hair was half pulled up and half hung down, making her look younger than usual.

She sat on the single sofa in the small living room, quietly listened to Aurore's request, smiled lightly and said:

"No need to be so polite, we are friends."

Haha... Lumian mocked in his heart.

How can you blindly introduce your marriage partner to your friends?

As soon as he finished mocking silently, he saw Mrs. Pualis looking at him, with a smile like flowing water in her bright brown eyes.

Lumian suddenly felt uncomfortable as he recalled the conversation with Mrs. Pualis in the last cycle.

"Okay." Aurore looked helpless.

Every time she borrowed a carriage, she would offer to pay for it, but Mrs. Pualis would definitely refuse, so she usually brought some not expensive but not cheap gifts to the lady when she returned, and also gave the coachman a small tip.

While waiting for the coachman to prepare, Mrs. Pualis invited her siblings to taste the desserts made by her own chef.

Lumian tasted a piece of muffin, looked around and said:

"Where's Mr. Lund?"

Louis Lund was the steward of the administrator Beoest, and followed him from Dariege to the village of Kordu.

Lumian had a clue that he had an affair with a woman in the village and secretly sold some collections in the castle. This way he got the news that Mrs. Pualis was the mistress of the parish priest.

If you happen to catch the priest and Madame Poialis having an affair in the church, it's all a lie to outsiders!

At this time, Lumian was looking for Louis Lund because he wanted to scold him, saying, "You are a sow, why didn't you tell me that Mrs. Pualis is a wizard?"

Mrs. Pualis said "Hey":

"Louis is ill and resting in his room."

Get ill? Lumian somehow felt that there might be something wrong with this.

While his sister was chatting with Mrs. Pualis, he excused himself to go to the bathroom, left the small living room, and went straight to the stairs.

The castle was very large, and there were not many servants brought by the administrator and his wife. Everywhere seemed empty. You could even hear echoes when walking in some places, which gave Lumian better external conditions to sneak in.

Relying on his strong senses, he simply dodged a male servant and a maid, walked very lightly to the second floor, and found Louis Lund's room.

He didn't knock on the door in a hurry, turned his head sideways and put his ear to the wooden board.

"ah!"

"ah!"

There were screams of pain belonging to men in the room.

Really sick? It sounds quite serious... Lumian thought for a moment, walked to the side, and opened the door of the other servants------The administrator Beost and Mrs. Prias lived there. third floor.

After dodging into the room, he gently closed the wooden door, took a few steps to the other side, and pushed open the glass window.

Lumian looked down and saw that no one was there. He immediately held it up with both hands, flipped it out lightly, and "hanged" it on the outer wall of the castle.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped lightly, like a wild cat, and landed silently on the window sill of housekeeper Louis Lund.

Then, Lumian stood on the edge of the glass window, turned sideways, and quietly looked into the room.

He saw Louis Lund lying naked on the bed, his belly bulging high, giving people the feeling that it would explode at any time.

Seeing the housekeeper who was over forty years old, his black hair was wet with sweat and his face was full of pain. Hearing his miserable screams from time to time, Lumian couldn't help but frown:

What disease is this?

It's scary how big your belly can be...

At this time, there was a woman in her forties standing next to Louis Lund's bed.

She has brown hair and brown eyes. She has a pretty face and not many wrinkles. She is wearing a gray-white long skirt. She is shouting to Louis Lund excitedly:

"Soon, soon."

What's so fast? Just as Lumian had this thought, he heard a scream and saw something pushing up somewhere in Louis Lund's stomach.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it was bursting, Louis Lund's stomach was bursting!

A bloody little hand reached up.

"Give birth! Give birth!" the woman shouted happily.

She immediately leaned down and took out a crumpled, dirty and bloody baby from Louis Lund's belly.

Lumian was stunned:
