Chapter 56
Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 56
The more Aurore thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong:
Facing the powerful shepherd Pierre Berry, what can the priest Guillaume Bennet do to suppress him, as he currently has no extraordinary abilities at all?
If the priest is the one who is favored by the hidden existence, so that the entire small group regards him as the leader, then he should have accepted the gift long ago and no longer be an ordinary person!
And if he is slow to accept the gift, he will definitely be excluded.
In this case, the original status, power, and scheming are no longer comparable to one's own strength and distance from the gods.
Since there was no extra time to think, Aurore could only think of two explanations:
First, within that small group, Guillaume Bennet is not the real leader. He is more of just using his special status to provide a place for conspiracy to hide the anomalies from the "Eternal Sun" Church in the Liège area. The real leader Someone else!
The second is that Guillaume Benet is not unwilling to accept the gift, but is waiting for an opportunity that will allow him to directly obtain more powerful power.
And no matter which explanation, it doesn't seem to be a good thing.
Aurore looked at the three sheep and asked further:
"Who is the man who attacked you together with Pierre Berry?"
The three sheep each wrote their own answers:
"Niol Best."
"A shepherd named Nior."
"He was called Niall."
Niall Best, he also gained great power? Aurore knew this man.
He is also a shepherd in Cordu Village, and often goes to herds with Pierre Berry, but it seems that he did not come back early this time.
"Where is Niall? I didn't see him in the village." Aurore asked.
The three sheep walked a few steps, left the place full of words, and found new blank soil to start writing:
"he died."
"Killed by me."
"We killed him, but we still got caught."
Die in counterattack? Aurore nodded thoughtfully:
"Are you all extraordinary?"
The three sheep did not continue to write in Plateau dialect with their hooves, but gave a positive reply by nodding.
Aurore said "hmm" and her thoughts started to change rapidly:
The hunting targets of Pierre Berry and Niall Best are actually extraordinary people. What are they trying to do?
And one of them died...
Either Niall's strength is far inferior to Pierre, or they obtained the power through gifts and are not so proficient in mastering it. Problems inevitably arise in extraordinary battles...
Aurore looked at the three sheep again and said:
"Do you know why Pierre arrested you?"
The three sheep began to write again:
"I heard him talk about God and devotion."
"Probably for blood sacrifice."
"I suspect he wants to sacrifice us to the evil god."
Sure enough, extraordinary people have extremely high spirituality and possess special qualities. They are sacrifices that are many times stronger than ordinary people and can even more please the evil gods... Pierre Berry and Niort Best ended the scene with To cover up, Shepherd went to other countries to capture extraordinary people to sacrifice? This is indeed not easy to attract the attention of local officials... Aurore nodded slightly.
She asked solemnly:
"Did Pierre mention the name of that god?
"In other words, who did you pray to for the ritual that turned you into sheep?"
The three sheep were stunned at the same time, as if they were lost in memories.
Then, they all lowered their heads and stretched out their hooves towards the soil in front of them.
For some reason, Aurore suddenly felt that the surroundings were much colder and dimmer, just like the sun in the sky was blocked by dark clouds, and there happened to be a cool breeze blowing from the mountains.
The three sheep began to write.
Aurore's spiritual intuition had a strong warning, and she immediately shouted:
"Wait a moment!"
The three sheep suddenly raised their heads and looked at her.
Bloody tears were shed from the corners of their eyes at some point, and the fur on their faces was stained and stained, which was very scary.
The next second, the three sheep continued to write.
Aurore turned around quickly and ran towards the edge of the fence.
When she left the sheepfold and looked back, the three sheep were bathing in the sunlight falling from high in the sky.
If it weren't for the traces of blood still remaining on their faces, nothing would be abnormal.
Thump, thump... Aurore's heart was still beating wildly.
She gasped and rejoiced:
"If I hadn't mastered the secret technique of sealing my eyes, I would see things I shouldn't have seen from time to time. I have been tested for a long time and have strong intuition. I really couldn't react just now..."
She then took out the iron-black powder and threw it into the sheepfold.
The words on the dirt floor were immediately erased by invisible hands.
As for the stains on the sheep's face, Aurore had difficulty cleaning them with magic, and she didn't dare to get close, so she scrubbed them directly with water.
She was worried that the three sheep were different from before and were potentially dangerous.
In the old tavern, Lumian, who was drinking light green absinthe, leaned on the bar with his right elbow and looked around casually.
He didn't see the mysterious lady, nor did he find the three strangers Ryan, Liya, and Valentine.
For the former, he didn't know when the other party would show up, so he could only try his luck. For the following three, he thought they should be walking in the village, looking for someone to chat with.
"Actually, I have a chance to get married." Pierre Berry, who had finished a glass of absinthe, picked up a new light green liquid and murmured.
"Really?" Lumian scoffed, "Who can fall in love with a shepherd?"
Pierre sighed and said:
"Most of the plain pastures we went to have owners, either from a manor owner or from a nearby village. If you want to graze cattle, you must either pay a pasture tax or marry a girl from the village and settle there."
"This is a good thing, for the shepherds." Lumian smiled.
Pierre took a sip of absinthe and glanced sideways at him:
"The girl must be able to like you, and she can't ask for a dowry.
"That time, there happened to be a girl who thought I was pretty good, didn't mind that I was a pauper and a shepherd, and was willing to marry me. Was she stupid?"
"Yes." Lumian nodded "honestly".
Pierre was holding a bottle of light green absinthe and was silent for a while before saying:
"Then she died.
"She worked in a factory on the outskirts of the city. She was too tired and fell ill. I went to several churches, asked priests to pray for her, and found doctors to treat her, but it was all in vain.
"After that day, I understood something."
"What's the point?" Lumian took a sip of absinthe.
Resentment flashed across Pierre's face:
"Those people with flesh on their bodies and shit on their bodies can't save us!"
"The body is not made of flesh. Is it okay if you don't need to poop down there?" Lumian asked.
Pierre chuckled twice:
"Those are saints and angels, but will they look at us?"
Lumian clicked his tongue:
"Then why do you go to the church to pray to the priest?
"Not only does he have flesh on his body and shit down there, but he also likes to sleep with women."
Pierre turned his head again and glanced at Lumian:
"You don't understand, he has some kind of intelligence that can save our souls."
"Intellectuality?" Lumian didn't quite understand the word.
Pierre took another sip of the light green absinthe and seemed not to hear the question.
Lumian did not dare to inquire in depth, so he chatted instead:
"I heard someone say that you have been to church at one or two o'clock, why do you still go to church at three or four o'clock?"
Pierre smiled gently and said:
"You can chat with similarly intellectual people in the afternoon."
He did not deny going to church in the afternoon.
Lumian breathed a sigh of relief - at least for now, no one else can retain the memory and interfere with the process of "history".
He suspected that Pierre Berry went to church in the afternoon to communicate with the parish priest in advance, and only communicated with small groups at three or four in the afternoon.
After drinking, seeing that dinner time had arrived, Lumian and Pierre Berry parted ways and returned to their homes.
When he reached a secluded path, the priest's younger brother, Pence Benet, led a few thugs and suddenly came in from a side road and blocked him.
The muscular, black-haired and blue-eyed Pence Bene looked at Lumian and said with a ferocious smile:
"Are you good at playing pranks in the afternoon? You must delay our time in the church.
"If the priest hadn't been there, I would have beaten you right then!
"You bastard, come and eat your father Pence's cock."
Lumian was stunned for a second by this guy's stupidity, and then felt ecstatic.
His and Aurore's judgments were correct. In the last cycle, before Naroka's funeral, Pence Bene should not have gained extraordinary power and could smell danger!
Now he actually dares to block an extraordinary person!
Without hesitation, Lumian turned around and ran wildly.
Pons and his thugs followed.
But as soon as they broke out of the path sandwiched between two buildings, they lost track of their target.
Pence Bene glanced around and ordered his men:
"Look everywhere."
He felt that Lumian could not run that fast and should be hiding nearby.
The thugs immediately dispersed and searched for nearby hiding places, leaving only Pence Bene standing at the entrance of the path.
Lumian, who climbed to the second floor of the house next to him, saw this and said "Hey" and jumped directly to Pence.
boom!
Pengsi was knocked to the ground by the huge force, his blood boiled, his vision turned black, and he briefly lost his ability to fight.
If Lumian hadn't restrained himself and didn't hit him directly, he might have broken a few bones.
Lumian stood up, bent down and grabbed Pence's left and right forearms, and smiled at him:
"Come, let's get close."
Before Pence could resist, he pulled the opponent into his arms and pushed him with his knees.
With a pop, Peng Si's eyes nearly popped out, his face full of extreme pain.
thump!
Lumian let go, letting the guy fall to the ground and curl up into a shrimp.
He then turned around and ran into the path before a few thugs ran back, and disappeared at the end.
Part-time living room and dining room in the kitchen.
Lumian informed his sister about the situation on his side:
"Pierre Berry went to the church again in the afternoon... It can be confirmed that Pons Benet does not have extraordinary powers yet."
Aurore nodded slightly and talked about his experiences, especially the unknown and inexplicable danger at the end.
Lumian thought for a while and said:
"The mysterious lady said that certain beings could cause you to be tainted simply by knowing of their existence."
Month-end summary and request for guaranteed monthly passes in April
First of all, let me say that the release date is not April 1st, but April 10th, because I feel that the number of words is too small now, which is a bit embarrassing. Why does it have to have 200,000 free content, right?
Monthly votes for new books are very important. Even if they are not on the shelves, I have to ask everyone for guaranteed monthly votes in April. You can vote for me after midnight. I will update at the same time and will update again when it is on the shelves.
This month is mainly a stage for unfolding the world view. It is also time to take advantage of the free chapter to explain the occult knowledge that will be used extensively in Circle of Destiny, so that new readers will not be confused, and old readers, in fact I probably don’t remember many of them, so I can just review them.
Therefore, even if the pace is slowed down a bit, I will try to finish it in the free chapters, so as not to make people pay to watch duplicate things, and to make it worth every penny you spend.
Friends who have seen some of them now should know that this book has a new system for praying to gods for gifts. This is somewhat similar to the receiving system in the third part that I mentioned before, but it is not exactly the same. When praying to the unactivated "Tao" and "Heaven", you can find some special methods to avoid some negative effects, thus forming a unique Eastern process. However, praying to living gods cannot be tricky unless there is the help of corresponding power.
By the way, to clarify, the black mark and the thorn symbol are not the same thing, which will be discussed later.
Well, most of the foreshadowing has been completed, and the plot will gradually become more intense. Here again, I would like to ask everyone for a guaranteed monthly pass in April. The month when new books are released is very important!
Thank you everyone~
"Circle of Fate" month-end summary and request for guaranteed monthly tickets for April are now available, please wait a moment.
After the content is updated, please refresh the page to get the latest updates!
