Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 42

Lumian was also shocked by the reaction of the carriage pulled by the "devil" and the undead. He forgot to struggle for a moment, and was pushed by the invisible giant hand for more than ten seconds before he stopped.

Although the carriage was getting further and further away, he could still clearly see the appearance of the woman in the carriage with his eagle-like vision.

Her long brown hair is rolled up high, her brown eyes are beautiful and bright, and her light eyebrows are slightly sparse. She is wearing a fresh green dress and a laurel wreath made of flowers. She has an elegant and majestic temperament.

Mrs. Pualis! Lumian's first reaction was that the lady in the car was the administrator's wife and the parish priest's mistress.

But taking a closer look, he felt that there were obvious differences between the two parties. Not only were their temperaments very different, but their appearance was also somewhat different:

The lady in the car had softer and more mature facial features.

If Lumian really wanted to use a metaphor, he would prefer to call the lady in the car Mrs. Pualis's half-sister but seven or eight years older.

At this time, the lady was sitting on an open carriage pulled by the "devil", surrounded by countless undead and death knights, running towards the distant mountains and forests, as if she was on some kind of wonderful parade.

Aurore withdrew her gaze and ran quickly towards Lumian, shouting as she ran:

"Take the opportunity to get out of here!"

Lumian came to his senses and waited until his sister caught up before taking long strides and running away towards the nearest edge of the wilderness.

It didn't take long for both of them to simultaneously have the feeling of walking through an illusory curtain or a thick layer of water.

The scene they saw in front of them changed:

The wilderness dissipated like foam, and the clear river water, new grass on both sides, and green trees came into their eyes at the same time.

For Lumian and Aurore, this scene was so familiar that they made a judgment without identifying it:

They're still around the village of Kordu!

This is where Ava Lizzie often grazes geese!

Back... Lumian was neither disappointed nor surprised. Instead, he looked around with the mentality of "it really happened."

Aurore took a breath and said:

"Whether Mrs. Pualis did it on purpose or by mistake, we cannot return to the village now.

"Continue to Liège!"

Lumian immediately suggested:

"Then let's go to the nearest pasture. There's a dangerous path there to go down the mountain. With our abilities, it's definitely no problem."

"Okay." Aurore turned around and started running.

She was no stranger to the highland pastures around the village of Kordu, as she borrowed a pony from Mrs. Pualis from time to time.

Lumian saw this and followed his sister closely.

He was both grateful and terrified for what he had just experienced.

He had no idea that Mrs. Pualis would be so powerful and could be followed by so many undead, "devils" and death knights.

Of course, that may not be Mrs. Pualis.

As she ran, Aurore slowed down, her breathing became heavier and her guttural sounds became more and more obvious.

"What's wrong?" Lumian still has plenty of energy.

This is one of the improvements brought by "Hunter".

Aurore simply stopped and gasped:

"I'm so tired. I spent a lot of energy casting spells before."

Lumian said without hesitation:

"Then I'll carry you, I'm not tired yet."

The matter was critical and time was running out, so Aurore didn't show any pretense. She nodded, walked behind Lumian who was squatting, and lay down on him.

Lumian first took off the brooch in front of him and gave it back to his sister. Then he straightened up and started running again.

"Is this a magical item?" He still had the energy to ask.

Aurore was startled for a moment, then laughed and said:

"It seems you know a lot.

"This is indeed a magical item. I call it the 'Integrity Brooch'. It can create sacred sunlight or help me ignite materials to help me use a secret technique to deal with ghost-like creatures. However, wearing it for too long will cause people to become fanatical, and as long as it is worn When you go up, you lose some ideas, you know, that unethical methods in combat may be more effective, and this is restricted by it."

Auro paused and asked in a deep voice:

"Where did you get the extraordinary characteristics?"

Lumian answered intermittently while running:

"Didn't that scepter card keep me awake in my dream?"

"What scepter card?" Aurore looked confused.

Oh, this is something from the last cycle... Lumian reorganized the language:

"I met a mysterious lady in the old tavern, and she gave me a scepter card.

"Relying on that card, I became awake in my dream and entered a wonderful space.

"There, I met some monsters and got the 'Hunter' extraordinary characteristic."

"'Hunter'..." Aurore was familiar with this common sequence in Intis.

While talking to herself, she suddenly chuckled, not knowing what she thought of.

What are you laughing at... Lumian is confused.

Aurore asked again:

"Who gave you the formula? That mysterious lady?"

"Yeah." Lumian nodded as he ran.

Aurore sighed and said:

"My idiot brother also has a secret of his own... I can't confirm whether what you said is true or false now, so let's just treat it like that."

Lumian couldn't bear his sister's disappointment and quickly changed the topic:

"Is that person in the carriage just now, Mrs. Pualis?"

"It's very similar but very different." Aurore said contradictory words.

She considered it for a few seconds and said:

"Since you are already an Extraordinary, let me tell you directly. My companions, uh, those pen pals once mentioned some things.

"They said that in recent years, there have been many strange phenomena similar to the ones just now in southern Loen, southern Intis and the Kingdom of Feneport. There are also ladies riding in carriages pulled by devils, um, creatures suspected of being devils. When traveling in the wilderness mountains, there are also many undead souls following the carriage all over the mountains and plains. Some extraordinary people who master the corresponding secret skills will also take the opportunity to let their spirits leave their bodies and follow the carriage for a period of time. This seems to allow them to obtain something. A wonderful experience and a certain amount of mystical knowledge.

"One of my companions obtained the notes of one of the Beyonders, which mentioned that the lady was called 'Mrs. Night', and the owner of the notes obtained a recipe for making a secret medicine from the experience of following a carriage tour, which can be used The baby's corpse creates an invisibility potion.

"According to the investigation, the women involved in similar phenomena are different in different places, but the incidents all happened late at night."

Lumian said in astonishment:

"But now, it's daytime."

Could it be that the anomaly in Kordu Village brought about changes?

"So I'm not sure." Aurore thought about it and said, "Maybe it was the matter of sending Naroka to the 'Other World' that made the difference. Maybe that wilderness is the 'Other World', 'Mrs. Night' They patrol there during the day and appear in human society at night. Well, considering the fact that the lady looks like Pualis, I am inclined to the previous guess."

Lumian had no knowledge of occult knowledge in this area, but intuitively believed that his sister's suspicion was right.

He ran for some distance in silence, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Why did you sacrifice yourself to save me? I would rather you be more selfish."

"I'm very selfish." Aurore said with a smile, "At that time, I considered leaving you and running away, waiting for me to become more powerful and then help you get revenge, but I thought about it carefully and found that even if I put the 'Integrity Brooch' 'Here, teach you how to use it. You can't help me attract most of the undead and give me a chance to escape. Only as a 'wizard' can I do this.

"Choose between two people dying together or at least you being able to live. I don't need to tell you the answer, right?"

Making such a choice is not as easy as you say now... Lumian can accept it intellectually, but not emotionally.

He said dullly:

"It's better to die together."

"If you die, who will avenge me, who will resurrect me? In the world of occultism, anything is possible!" Aurore taught her brother, "That's why I will deliberately say some sensational lines in the end. Only in this way, Only then can you always remember and never forget to work hard to resurrect me."

That's right... Lumian gradually agreed with his sister's choice.

After running for a while, the nearest plateau grassland could already be seen, and Lumian, who was carrying Aurore on his back, clearly felt tired.

He didn't stop to rest. He mustered up his courage and rushed to the hillside with green pasture.

There are multiple livestock pens and shacks here. The former is surrounded by stones and branches. The ground is made of tamped soil and flattened dung. There is a long and narrow exit at one end that can only accommodate one sheep. The latter is similar to a primitive tent. :

First, use stones to build a low wall, leaving a door and a smoke exhaust hole. Then build a row of grilles against the low wall. The lower part of the grille is buried in the soil, and the upper end supports the wooden frame. The wooden frame The structure is covered with grass and mud roof.

This is where the shepherds live, and the environment is very difficult.

Lumian no longer carried Aurore on his back and led her all the way to the other side of the hillside.

The dangerous path is hidden underneath.

Looking at the road that required jumping from a cliff of seven to eight meters to reach, Aurore said to Lumian:

"Although you can climb now, don't waste time. I'll take you down directly."

"Okay." Lumian wanted to try what kind of changes would happen if he left Kordu Village.

Aurore grabbed Lumian's arm with one hand, and sprinkled silver dust with the other hand.

The two people floated up at the same time, flying slowly towards the bottom of the cliff.

While in mid-air, Lumian felt a sudden pain in his head, as if someone had hit him hard.

Aurore had a similar reaction.

Lumian's vision quickly turned black, and he felt everything became fragmented.
After sweeping the floor, Lumian sat up and saw the familiar wooden table, chairs, bookshelf and wardrobe.

Are we back to the beginning again... He rolled out of bed thoughtfully and came to the first floor. Not surprisingly, he found Aurore wearing that light blue dress and preparing dinner.

"Aurore, what day is it today?" Lumian asked tentatively.

Aurore glared at him:

"Call sister!

"Have you fallen asleep? Today is the 29th."
