Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 33

After a few seconds, Lumian looked into Aurore's eyes and slowed down his speech:

"How many days until Lent?"

He suspected that his sister was playing a prank just now, but in all these years, he had never seen his sister show a frivolous attitude on important matters, and the current situation was a critical moment involving the existence and death of the entire village, including his own siblings.

Aurore looked at her brother up and down:

"You just took a nap, did you feel sleepy?

"Today is March 29, 1358, and there are still several days before Lent."

March 29th... Lumian chewed on this date, and suddenly felt like I was dreaming.

He had clearly experienced the celebration of Lent that started with joy and ended with blood. He had clearly seen Ava’s head chopped off with an ax by the shepherd Pierre Berry, and blood spurted into the air...

Are you dreaming now or before... No matter which one is a dream, it is too real, right? Lumian couldn't find any trace of lying on his sister's face.

Of course, this can also be explained by Aurore's excellent acting skills, but Lumian believes that Aurore is definitely not such a person.

There were countless details in these five years of getting along. It was impossible to deceive him about what kind of person his sister was!

There are only two possibilities for Aurore to deceive him about the date:

One is that she is controlled by the curate or someone secretly;

The second is that the matter has been solved perfectly, so she is in the mood to joke and play pranks.

If neither of these two possibilities is true, then there is a high probability that what she said is the truth:

The time really goes back to March 29th, several days before Lent.

According to Lumian's common sense, this was obviously something that could not happen and should not appear in the real world, but his sister's attitude left him at a loss.

I have to find a way to confirm... Lumian tried his best to recall his experiences during this period, and found that he could still remember most of the details. For example, the March when the Lenten celebration was "successfully" held On the 29th, Aurore was indeed wearing this light blue dress, and that night, she also met three foreigners, Liya, Ryan, and Valentine, and took them to the church to catch the priest. evil.

"What's wrong?" Aurore stretched out her right hand and waved it in front of her brother who was inexplicably stunned.

Lumian came back to his senses and said hurriedly:

"Aurore, I suddenly thought of something and had to go out for a while.

"Be back soon!"

The best way to confirm whether the time is really back to March 29th is to find Ava!

If she were still alive, Lumian would have to seriously consider whether to accept this incredible change.

Without waiting for Aurore to agree, Lumian walked around her and hurried to the door.

"Call sister! Don't miss dinner!" Aurore warned, louder than usual.

After leaving his home, Lumian ran towards Ava Lizzie's home, fearing that if he was delayed for a second, the unspeakable nightmare would overtake him and swallow him completely.

Along the way, he attracted the attention of many villagers, but no one stopped him to ask why. They were afraid that this was a prank that he directed and performed and was waiting for them to be fooled.

Finally, Lumian arrived at his destination.

Ava's father, Guillaume Lizier, is a famous shoemaker in the village of Cordu and in this mountainous area. His family's financial situation is not good but not bad. The house they live in is also a gray-blue two-story building with half-terrain. , there is also an open space at the rear where grass and firewood are piled, and a goose coop is built.

At this time, it was approaching dinner time, and there were several figures busy in the kitchen of Lizzie's house.

Lumian walked directly in through the open door and saw Ava at a glance.

This brown-haired girl with aqua eyes was wearing a gray-white dress and was helping her mother prepare dinner. Her hands and feet were neat and her eyes were lively. She looked alive at first glance.

She really wasn't dead... Lumian subconsciously looked at Ava's neck, trying to find traces of sutures.

In one of Aurore's horror novels, there is a scene where body parts are sewn together to pretend to be a living person.

However, Ava's neck was slender and smooth, without even a scar.

"Lumian, what's the matter?" The shoemaker Guillaume Lizier, who was sitting on a chair in the kitchen, noticed this uninvited guest.

He had messy brown hair and a slightly greasy brown-white apron hanging in front of him. He stood up unhurriedly and faced Lumian.

Hearing her father's greeting, Ava stopped what she was doing, turned around in surprise, and looked at the door.

She then saw Lumian standing there blankly and blankly.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

Lumian suddenly came back to his senses and planned to make up a random excuse to deal with it.

But the shoemaker Guillaume Lizier came over and gave him an instant inspiration.

He thought about it and said:

"Uncle Guillaume, did Pierre of Berry order a pair of leather shoes from you?"

Lumian remembered clearly that he and Raymond "will" meet the shepherd Pierre Berry tomorrow morning, and were surprised that he came back to participate in the Lenten celebration regardless of the danger and hardship of the long journey of the sheep.

At that time, Pierre Berry had already put on a pair of brand new, soft leather shoes.

Unless you go to a finished shoe store in Liège to buy it, it takes time to make a pair of leather shoes. This means that Pierre Berry has been back in the village for at least two or three days!

"How do you know?" Guillaume Lizier was quite surprised, "Pierre Berry came back a few days ago, but no one in the village knew about it, and he asked me not to tell anyone else."

Sure enough... Lumian made up the reason:

"I saw a guy who looked like him and thought I was hallucinating.

"Because that person is wearing new leather shoes, I asked you to confirm."

"It's him." Guillaume Lizier replied affirmatively. "At that time, he was driving three or four sheep, which he said were given to him by his employer."

Wouldn’t the sheep be allowed back to the village at the beginning of May for shearing and milking? How can we herd a few sheep back now? The plateau grassland is still in the grazing ban period... The more Lumian thought about it, the more he felt that the behavior of the shepherd Pierre Berry was extremely abnormal.

And his performance at the end of the celebration proved Lumian's judgment.

But Lumian still has no way of knowing what he and the parish priest want to do, or what they have already done.

Thinking of this, Lumian smiled at Guillaume Lizier and Ava:

"I felt relieved that it was really him. I thought I drank so much that I had problems with my brain and eyes."

He then waved to the Lizzie family and said:

"goodbye."

After leaving Lizzie's house, the smile on Lumian's face quickly faded.

He is now very confident that today is indeed March 29th.

Did I turn back time, or did I have a precognitive dream? The dream can't be that real, so real that every detail is included... Lumian tried his best to think as he walked.

Whether it was time travel or precognitive dreams, he learned about it from Aurore's novels and had never thought that this would happen in reality.

On the way home, Lumian went around the square and came to the side of the "Eternal Sun" church.

The stained glass window, which should have been completely broken and even the window frame flew out, was intact on the wall, and the missionary picture of Saint Sith painted on the surface shone brightly under the light of the setting sun.

Lumian watched this scene with extremely complicated emotions, feeling as if white smoke was almost emitting from all the thoughts in his mind.

On the way back to the square, he saw a familiar figure coming out of the main entrance of the church.

It was the curate Guillaume Benet with a slightly hooked nose, a majestic temperament, and a white robe with gold thread.

Lumian felt nervous, spread his legs slightly, and arched his body slightly.

This is both a preparation for launching an attack and a prelude to running away.

Guillaume Benet glanced at him and nodded expressionlessly:

"Come and pray again tomorrow."

Uh... That's right. On the evening of March 29, he hadn't been caught and raped by me, he hadn't broken up with me yet, and there was no worry that his secret plot was about to be exposed... I thought of this , Lumian reacted instinctively.

He stood up straight, opened his arms and said:

"Praise the sun!"

"Praise the sun!" Guillaume Benet responded with the same gesture.

After leaving the village square, Lumian habitually thought about what happened just now.

Suddenly, he discovered a point that he had previously ignored because he was shocked by "turning back time."

His extraordinary abilities are still there!

He is still a "Hunter"!

Whether it was the fact that he rushed to Lizzie's house without taking a breath, or the fact that he immediately put on his best posture when facing the priest, it all shows that his physical fitness and corresponding state are far better than before taking the magic potion!

Lumian made a judgment from this:

That previous experience was not a precognitive dream!

He is already a Sequence 9 Beyonder!

Try to enter that special dreamland at night to see if you can still enter and see if there are any changes... Lumian quickly made a plan for the next step.

When he returned home, he pretended to be nonchalant and shared dinner with his sister Aurore.

Because her younger brother often gets into trouble and doesn't want her to help with the aftermath every time, he behaves similarly from time to time, so Aurore sees it and doesn't ask any questions.

After washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, Lumian said hello to his sister and went straight to the old tavern.

He wanted to confirm whether the few outsiders who did not belong to Kordu Village would show up.

After entering the old tavern, Lumian sat at the bar and said hello to the owner and bartender Maurice Benet, the thin middle-aged man Pierre Guillaume and others.

"A glass of sour wine," he said knowingly.

Sour wine refers to low-quality apple wine, which is only more expensive than some beers in pubs and is often hawked on the streets of cities.

"Stingy boy, don't you really like the pain of absinthe?" Morris Benet babbled.

"Will you buy me a drink?" Lumian said familiar words.

It gave him a sense of trance.

Maurice Benet immediately stopped talking, poured a glass of sour wine, and pushed it to Lumian.

Lumian began to wait while sipping his wine.

Not long after, he heard a tinkling sound.

He turned around and saw Ryan, who was wearing a simple dark bowler hat, a brown tweed top and light yellow trousers.

It was Liya who caught the attention of almost all the men in the old tavern. She was still wearing a white pleated cashmere tight skirt with an off-white coat and Marcel boots. Two small silver bells were tied to the boots and the veil that served as a headscarf. .

Likewise, Valentine wore a white vest, a blue tweed jacket and black trousers, with some powder on his yellow hair.

The three of them walked to the bar and sat down next to Lumian one after another.

A glass of Daliege red wine, a glass of rye beer, a glass of "spicy"... Lumian said silently in his mind without looking up.

Ryan took off his bowler hat, put it aside, and then said to Maurice Benet:

"A glass of Daliege red wine, a glass of rye beer, and a glass of 'spicy'."

Hearing this, Lumian let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" Ryan looked sideways at him.

He took a sip of the sour wine and said in a low voice:

"I'm a loser. I hardly pay attention to whether the sun is shining or not because I don't have time"
