Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 74

Because his sister had to rest, Lumian could not learn new Hermetic and Ancient Hermetic words. He could only consolidate the ones he had already mastered. At about ten o'clock, he went out and went straight to the old tavern.

Firstly, he wanted to see if the mysterious lady would appear after he became a "dancer" and provide some more knowledge. Secondly, Liya and other foreigners lived there. After what happened yesterday, they You may not go out today.

After entering the old tavern, Lumian quickly looked around and was quite disappointed to find that the seat where the lady usually sat was empty and there was no one around.

He exhaled slowly and walked towards the bar, intending to ask if the three foreigners were there.

At this time, the tavern owner Maurice Benet seemed to have just woken up, and his energy was obviously not high enough. He was holding a red nose and communicating with the guests in front of the bar.

The guest was very excited, gesticulating with his hands and making ah-ah sounds, but could not speak.

Dumb? Lumian approached curiously and found that the guest was not one of the two original mutes in the village, but Sybil Berry's husband, Jean Maury.

Sybil is the mistress of the parish priest Guillaume Benet, the sister of the shepherd Pierre Berry, and a member of that small group.

Jean Maury is not mute... Lumian looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously.

His black hair was messy, his face was not cleanly shaved, and his eyes were filled with anger and fear.

Different from his usual gloomy state, he was very excited now, making gestures constantly, wanting to tell the tavern owner something.

Lumian secretly thought "weird" as he came to the front of the bar and knocked on the table with a smile:

"Hey, what's going on?

"Maurice, did you sell fake wine to Jean? You see he was so angry that he couldn't even speak."

"What does it have to do with me?" Maurice Benet quickly dismissed the responsibility, "He himself is mute."

Jean Mory stopped, glanced at Lumian, and returned to his original gloomy state.

He immediately turned around and walked outside the old tavern.

After he disappeared from the door, Lumian asked in a lowered voice:

"What happened to him?"

Maurice Bene looked outside and also lowered his voice:

"I heard that I bumped into Sybil and the priest doing that kind of thing on the bed last night, which made him angry and mute. I'm looking for people everywhere today to talk about it. Oh, I don't even dare to go to Daliège to sue the priest. , What a coward, you deserve it!"

Lumian was confused and shocked.

If he remembered correctly, Jean Maury knew that his wife Sybil had a relationship with the parish priest and had maintained it for a long time. He just didn't want Sybil to hook up with another man again. How could he have been mentally prepared for this? Are you so angry about trivial matters that you become mute?

There must be something wrong here!

Moreover, in the last cycle, nothing happened that made Mori angry and mute, otherwise Lumian would not have known about it.

In Kordu Village, this is first-class news, and it spreads absolutely very quickly.

Could it be that we started doing various investigations and caused corresponding disturbances, which caused Jean Mory to encounter things that he would not have encountered otherwise? Lumian showed an excited expression while speculating on the reason:

"Yeah?

"Then I have to ask him carefully!"

The tavern owner Maurice Benet was not surprised at all by his joining in the fun, and even thought it should be so.

He laughed and cursed:

"You bastard, be a good person and stop irritating that poor man.

"Besides, he is mute and can't write words. How can he tell you what happened?"

Lumian chuckled and said:

"Can't he make gestures?"

He immediately raised his hands, turned his left palm into a fist, and lightly touched his right palm.

In the Liège region, and even in southern Intis, this is a universal gesture that means that thing between a man and a woman.

Maurice Benet cursed angrily:

"I hope you still have the last bit of kindness left in you and don't play pranks on that poor man."

"Don't worry, I just want to 'hear' the story." Lumian waved his hand and ran out of the old tavern, looking for Jean Mori.

But the guy didn't know where he had gone, and he no longer explained his experience to the villagers. Lumian searched Kordu all over, but no trace of him was found.

Finally, he came to Jean Maury's house.

At the gate, Sybil Berry, wearing a gray and white skirt, was handling several broken potatoes.

"What's the matter?" The woman raised her head and looked at Lumian.

Like Pierre Berry, she has blue eyes, and her long black hair hangs smoothly behind her back, unlike other married women who always wear it up.

Lumian answered calmly:

"I'm looking for Jean Maury?"

Sybil, who has plump cheeks and soft facial features, replied calmly:

"he is not at home."

"Then do you know where he went?" Lumian asked.

Sybil said calmly:

"We had a fight last night. He may have left Kordu and doesn't want to come back anytime soon."

This made Lumian's brows jump, feeling that something bad had happened.

Obviously, Jean Maury cannot leave Cordou Village, as that would trigger the cycle and cause it to restart!

As his thoughts flashed, Lumian showed a playful expression:

"Why are you quarreling? I heard it was you and the priest..."

He didn't use words to describe it, but hit his right palm with his left fist.

Sybil's expression turned cold and she cursed in a deep voice:

"roll!

"Get out of my door!"

Lumian clicked his tongue and left Jean Mory's house.

After walking a certain distance, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

In fact, he didn't want to ask about Sybil's affair with the parish priest. He had even seen the priest and Mrs. Poialis naked, so what else could he ask?

But don't ask, it doesn't fit his image in the eyes of the villagers, and they all come to "visit" him. Without irritating the hostess, is he still the prank king of Kordu Village?

Therefore, Lumian had to ask, otherwise he might be suspected.

Stereotypes of characters are sometimes useful and sometimes troublesome.

Combining the priest's behavior and the information he had, Lumian suspected that Jean Maury did not become mute because he broke into an affair, but discovered something else.

He was probably poisoned to death!

We have to find that guy quickly. If he goes around looking for someone to accuse him, he might just die like the previous one. No, he has disappeared... The more Lumian thinks about it, the more he feels that something has probably happened to Jean Mori. .

The villager who went to Liege to inform the police last time fell to his death for no apparent reason!

Just when Lumian was making a last-ditch effort to find Jean Mory, he met Ryan, Liya and Valentine who were "wandering" in the village.

They were still wearing the same clothes.

"Good morning, my cabbages." Lumian greeted him with a smile.

As soon as the two parties approached, he immediately asked in a low voice:

"Is there anything you did yesterday?"

Liya smiled and replied:

"The lady didn't seem to want to pursue the matter and didn't show up."

Sure enough... Lumian looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he told the three official investigators his sister's inference about Mrs. Pualis's path and her guess about Pritt's identity.

Valentine's face looked extremely ugly when he heard this, while Liya was quite excited.

Ryan recalled:

"There are relatively few witches in Reston Province. We don't know enough about this information, but it should be clear from above. I will send a telegram later to talk about Mrs. Pualis' situation. Well, I only mention Mrs. Pualis." There is a picture of Plit in his room, but there is no Poualis in the Roquefort family."

Seeing the question on Lumian's face, "Why is it so clear above?", Ryan added:

"In Intis, things related to witches often happen."

So, my sister’s “pen pal” is also in Intis? Lumian nodded and said:

"At present, Mrs. Pualis seems to have nothing to do with the loop. Moreover, she seems to be aware of the loop to a certain extent. This may be the reason why she did not pursue our search of the castle.

"Is it possible that we are joining forces with her in some way?"

Valentine suddenly blurted out:

"How can you cooperate with such an evil and dirty person who is scarier than the devil?"

Lumian didn't even look at him, and turned his attention to Ryan and Liya.

Seeing that they were a little hesitant, he said sincerely:

"Limited cooperation, only within the cycle.

"When this damn cycle is broken, you can deal with her however you want!

"You can even tell her directly about this. I believe she can understand and accept it."

Ryan thought for a few seconds, patted Valentine on the shoulder, and said to Lumian:

"Indeed, the most important thing at the moment is to untie this cycle. However, we are not yet sure of the lady's attitude. We dare not come to her directly. I am afraid I will have to trouble you or your sister to communicate and inquire."

"Okay." Lumian agreed immediately.

He planned to go alone.

After discovering that Mrs. Pualis might have abnormal and abnormal feelings for his sister, he did not want to leave his sister alone with her.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Valentine kept a straight face, neither agreeing nor objecting.

Lumian looked around again:

"Three more clues..."

He told Raymond's story, Jean Maury's situation and the "grave chamber" that the owl flew into in detail.

This made Liya quite surprised:

"How did you get so many clues so quickly?"

She was a little suspicious of whether there was something wrong with this guy or his sister, so there were abnormalities and clues everywhere.

Who is a professional investigator? Why didn't we find out?

"Who told you that you didn't retain the memory of the previous two cycles." Lumian smiled and spread his hands.

Leah nodded, accepting the explanation.

Ryan thought for a few seconds and said in a deep voice:

"Then we have to investigate the underground of the church as soon as possible.

"Well, it may be dangerous there. You should contact Mrs. Pualis first. If she joins, you will be much more confident."
Remarks on the launch


It's time for a book to be put on the shelves again. After midnight, about five minutes later, I will upload the first VIP chapter of Destiny.

Actually, this book was not called Circle of Fate at the beginning, and Lumian was not sure that he would become a "dancer" and follow the path of fate.

At that time, Qidian asked me for a book title, and I thought of a few, but none of them were satisfied and called me back. In a fit of anger, I decided to name it according to a mysterious routine, so I started from the old path of the Outer God that had been set. Hiyori selected a few better-sounding ones from Sequence 0, threw them to them, and let them choose.

What I didn’t tell them was that which name they chose would determine which outer god’s gift Lumian would receive, as well as certain subsequent plot arrangements and corresponding entry points.

Then, they picked "Circle of Fate", and I looked at it and thought, oh, this goes well with hunters, and it seems that it can probably solve my problem with a key plot in the later stage.

At that moment, the whole line suddenly became clear, and it seemed to be more consistent than the other path I preferred.

Maybe, this is fate.

In this way, "Circle of Destiny" was born under the arrangement of fate.

As the second volume in the Mystery series, The Writing of Fate has its own unique difficulties:

First, the general world view has been decrypted, and we can no longer follow the pace of slow exploration and unfolding in the first volume of Mystery. We must have something new of our own, and we must have other attractions.

Second, against the background of many mysterious and popular characters, whether it is the protagonist Lumian or other characters in Destiny, they will inevitably be under a lot of pressure. Jewels and jade are always in front of them, and they will always be viewed with a comparative eye. And I never At the beginning, I didn’t want Lumian to have the same character and kindness as Xiao Ke. He should have his own experience and have bad and good sides in his character, so he chose the hunter and the alien god. A tainted start.

Up to now, the first Nightmare has initially expanded the world view and revealed some things involving the alien gods. As I said, when I wrote the second part of the Mysterious Series, I was not just speculating, but there were really many sequences that were not detailed. I have written that there are many countries that have not been described in detail, and there are many new things that have not been mentioned yet. When I was setting the paths for the Outer Gods, many places made me feel very excited and interesting. Moreover, while doing it, I was I wonder how something like this would be presented in the Western Continent in an Eastern setting.

Okay, let’s get back to the topic. Fate has been written so far. Everyone can see that on the basis of inheriting the mysterious framework, it has its own things, its own rhythm, and many new characters. They will interact with a large number of mysterious characters. Characters interact and complete new stories together.

I dare not boast that I will be able to write very well, but I can guarantee that I will devote all my energy and passion to my work, because this is also a new challenge for me.

Always writing the same thing will make me boring and aesthetically fatigued. I remember I said before that I hope I will always remember eight words in my writing career, "never satisfied, always challenging."

Now, I am ready to take on this challenge.
