Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 2

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this." Ryan politely bowed to Lumian.

Lumian said with a "hehe" smile:

"Is this worth another glass of Green Fairy?"

Without waiting for Ryan to answer, he changed the topic:

"Strangers, what are you doing in Cordu? Purchasing wool and leather?"

Many residents of Kordu make a living by herding sheep.

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief silently, seized this opportunity and said:

"We came to visit the parish priest of the Eternal Sun Church in your village, Guillaume Benet, but he is neither at home nor at the church."

"It doesn't matter which church it belongs to, there is only one church in Cordu." Pierre, who had drunk Lane's free absinthe, kindly reminded him.

The other locals around the bar were drinking their own drinks, and no one answered Ryan's question. It seemed that the name represented some kind of taboo or authority and could not be discussed casually.

Lumian took a sip of wine, thought for a few seconds and said:

"I can probably guess where the priest is. Do you want me to take you there?"

"Then I'll trouble you." Liya said without politeness.

Ryan nodded:

"Wait until you finish this drink."

"Okay." Lumian picked up the wine glass and drank the light green liquid.

He put the cup down and stood up:

"Let's go."

"Thank you so much." Ryan greeted Valentine and Liya as they stood up, while greeting Lumian.

A smile appeared on Lumian's face:

"It doesn't matter. After you listened to my story and I drank your wine, we are all friends, right?"

"Yes." Ryan nodded slightly.

The smile on Lumian's face became brighter and he stretched out his arms as if to give the other person a hug.

At the same time, he said enthusiastically:

"Nice to meet you, my cabbages."

Ryan, who was ready to receive a hug, froze:

"cabbage?"

His expression was confused and embarrassed.

The same goes for Valentine and Liya.

"This is our nickname for our friends. Everyone in the Daliez area knows it. It has been like this for hundreds of years." Lumian explained innocently, "Believe me, my cabbages."

Liya couldn't help but look around, making a tinkling sound.

Pierre and others nodded one after another, indicating that Lumian did not lie this time, but the smiles on their faces seemed to say that they were happy to see that outsiders could not bear such affectionate addresses.

Lumian touched his chin:

"Don't like it?

"Then I'll change it to something else, which is also used to address friends.

"My rabbits, my chickens, my ducks, my little lambs, which one do you like?"

Ryan's expression became stiffer and Valentine frowned.

Liya replied angrily and funnyly:

"Cabbage, at least it sounds normal."

Phew, Ryan breathed out quietly, pressed Valentine's elbow, nodded slightly and said:

"They all sound like precious things in the family."

Without waiting for Lumian to respond, he turned sideways and said to the bartender:

"Pay the bill."

"2 Firkin." The bartender glanced at the glasses on the bar.

When Ryan paid the bill, Liya changed the subject:

"The name Lumian is rare."

"At least it's better than Pierre or Guillaume." Lumian smiled. "If you call Pierre here, at least one-third of the people will respond to you. If you call Guillaume again, Another third of the people responded to you, and this one..."

He pointed at the thin middle-aged man who was drinking free wine:

"His full name is Pierre Guillaume."

Liya smiled in response, and she managed to get rid of the topic of cabbage.

Before leaving the tavern, Lumian looked back and glanced around.

"What's wrong?" Liya asked curiously.

Lumian replied thoughtfully:

"Not only are you three strangers coming to the tavern today, there was another one who came before, but I don't know when he left."

"What does it look like?" Ryan looked serious.

Lumian thought about it:

"A lady, very elegant. She looks like she comes from a big city. I can't tell you what she looks like. How about I draw it for you?"

"Can you draw?" Liya asked warily, already understanding Lumian's temperament.

Lumian laughed:

"Won't."

"Then let's go find the priest first." Ryan stopped the topic.

There were no street lights at night in Kordu Village, but it was not completely dark. The twinkling stars in the sky brought a quiet glow, and the yellowish light from some windows on both sides of the road made the group of four people walk smoothly.

Not long after, they arrived at the "Eternal Sun" church located next to the village square.

On a dark night, the most magnificent building in the village seemed to blend into the night, slightly hazy.

"We've been here before, and there was no one." Valentine, who had been indifferent and silent, said with a frown.

Lumian smiled and said:

"Just because there's no one at the front door doesn't mean there's no one elsewhere."

As he spoke, he led Ryan and the other three around the front of the church to a place near the cemetery.

There is a dark brown wooden door here.

Before Ryan could knock on the door, Lumian reached over and fiddled with the keyhole a few times.

With a creak, he opened the side door.

"Isn't this very polite?" Ryan frowned.

Liya nodded:

"We are here to visit the curate, not to deal with him."

"Okay." Lumian is very accepting of other people's correct opinions.

He closed the wooden door and knocked lightly.

"Hey, is anyone there? If you don't answer, I'll come in." His voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself at night.

There was silence in the church.

The next second, Lumian opened the door again and pointed inside:

"go in."

Ryan originally wanted to refuse, but he looked at the deep darkness behind the door. After thinking for a few seconds, he looked at his companion.

"Okay." He took a step forward, slowly but firmly.

Lea and Valentine followed.

At this time, Liya's two boots and the four small silver bells tied to both sides of the veil made no sound.

In the dim and gloomy environment, the four people moved forward.

Suddenly, Ryan stopped and said in a lowered voice:

"There seems to be some noise?"

"Yes." Lumian agreed deeply.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed aside suddenly, and another door opened with a bang.

It seemed to be the confessional of the church. The dim starlight flowed in, illuminating a simple low bed and a naked middle-aged man.

The strong man was pressing on a white female body.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, including the strong man and the lady beneath him.

A few seconds later, the strong man turned his head and roared at Ryan and others:

"Sons of bitches, you are destroying the actions of the Holy Church!"

Amidst the reverberating roar, Lumian, who had already moved behind Ryan and others, waved his hand and spoke very quickly with a smile:

"It seems that we have found the priest. See you tomorrow, my cabbages!"

Halfway through his words, he turned around and ran towards the side door. The words behind him were flying in the wind, getting lower and lower.

At this moment, Liya, Ryan and Valentine thought of a sentence at the same time.

What the middle-aged man named Pierre Guillaume said:

"This kid is the most prankster in the village. You must stay away from him..."

Under the starlight falling high in the sky, Lumian whistled.

He put his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely on the country road.

"The priest is indeed having an affair with Madame Poialis.

"These foreigners have some identity at first glance. The priest will definitely not dare to do anything to them. He must pay a high price to prevent the reputation of having an affair in the church from spreading, right?

"Hmph, who makes him always want to take advantage of Aurore? I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time..."

Muttering in his heart, Lumian returned to his home on the edge of the village.

This is a two-story semi-ground house. The first floor is a living room and a kitchen, with an oven and a large stove.

"Aurore! Aurore!" Lumian shouted as he walked up the stairs.

No one responded to him.

There are three rooms and a bathroom on the second floor, all of which have their doors open at this time.

Lumian glanced one after another and did not see his sister.

He thought for a moment, then came to the end of the corridor and climbed up to the roof from the ladder set up there.

The orange-red roof was wrapped in the diffuse night, and a figure sat in the center, hugging his knees and looking at the stars quietly.

This is an exceptionally beautiful woman with long, thick blond hair, light blue eyes, and bright facial features.

At this time, she was looking at the sky intently, looking at the flickering bits of brilliance, her expression as quiet as a statue.

Lumian said nothing, moved to the woman's side, and sat down as well.

He raised his head slightly, looked at the distant mountains and forests, and heard the sound of a gust of wind blowing through the trees.

After an unknown amount of time passed, the woman raised her arms and stretched in an imageless manner.

"Aurore, I don't understand what's so good about such a view that it deserves you to come to the rooftop often." Lumian made a voice.

"Call sister!" Aurore raised her finger and tapped Lumian on the head.

Then, she sighed, her expression turned dark and said:

"A philosopher once said that there are only two things worthy of awe in this world, one is the morality in the heart, and the other is the starry sky above our heads."

Lumian glanced at his sister's slightly melancholy face and smiled deliberately:

"I can answer this question, Emperor Russell said so!"

"Pfft..." Aurore laughed.

She immediately sniffed and raised her beautiful golden eyebrows:

"Drinking again!"

"This is called communication." Lumian said as he took advantage of the situation, "I met three foreigners..."

Aurore couldn't help laughing:

"I'm really afraid that the curate might get sick from the fright."

The next second, her face turned serious:

"Lumian, don't provoke the priest anymore. He won't do anything to me. It would be troublesome to replace him with a new one."

"But I hate him when I see him..." Before Lumian could finish his words, Aurore had already stood up.

She looked down at her brother, smiled and said:

"Okay, it's time for bed, my drunkard brother."

While speaking, Aurore tossed it casually, scattering some silver dust.

Then her whole body floated up, like a bird, slowly flying down from the roof and turning into the window on the second floor.

Lumi quietly finished reading and shouted anxiously:

"And me?"

"Climb down!" Aurore in the house replied mercilessly.

Lumian curled his lips, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little.

He looked at the quickly extinguishing silver spots in the night, sighed softly, and said to himself:

"I don't know when I will have such extraordinary power..."
