Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 57

Aurore recalled the situation at that time and thought it was what her brother said.

She said sincerely:

"Just knowing about her can bring about such terrible pollution... The hidden existence worshiped by Shepherd Pierre Berry and the others is really terrifying. Many evil gods in ancient notebooks do not behave like this. "

"How else could we be trapped in a time loop?" Lumian was not surprised.

The more Aurore thought about it, the more she thought about it, and Didi started to coo:

"Isn't it possible that on the twelfth night, we need to face the hidden existence and defeat it in order to break the cycle?

"And this requires you to collect materials, digest magic potions, and become a god..."

Seeing that her sister was getting more and more outrageous as she spoke, things that even a brave guy like him wouldn't dare to think about, Lumian interrupted her thoughts:

"stop!

"It shouldn't be to this extent."

Aurore said "hmm" and nodded slightly:

"Yes, we can only go through one cycle at most. Becoming a god in twenty days is obviously impossible."

She immediately spread her hands:

"There is no hope, just wait to die."

"..." With Lumian's brain, which can always come up with all kinds of excellent pranks, he couldn't keep up with his sister's ideas at this time.

"Huh." Aurore breathed out, looked at her brother and said, "Okay, I'm done venting, let's continue."

"Huh?" Lumian's face was filled with confusion.

It took him a few seconds to figure out what his sister meant by continuing:

"The sheep that the three men turned into seemed to be sent back to Kordu as a sacrifice. No wonder it didn't wait until early May.

"Is Twelfth Night actually a day of mass sacrifices to the hidden being?"

Aurore's eyes turned slightly and said:

"That's what I originally guessed, but before Lent, what happened to the parish priest and his group of people receiving gifts of varying degrees? According to my understanding, this should be exchanged for sacrifices."

Lumian started from the perspective of doing bad things, combined with what happened in the last cycle, and boldly guessed:

"A small sacrifice, a big ceremony?

"At the end of the Lenten celebration, the priest who gained extraordinary power did not hide his abnormality at all. He is obviously going to do something big!"

Aurore thought for a while and said:

"The Lenten celebrations may be part of a larger ceremony.

"Before the big ceremony, the priest finally made up his mind to dedicate his soul to the evil god and cooperate with certain sacrifices. In exchange for a large number of gifts, he completely revealed his true face.

"It seems that from the beginning of the Lenten celebrations, everyone in Kordu will be involved, and no one can escape."

The two siblings looked at me and I looked at you. They both thought that the guess they just made was very close to the truth.

But the problem is, if the abnormality really breaks out from the beginning of the Lent celebration and extends to Twelfth Night, how can they wait "calmly" until the final ceremony and find out the key to the cycle?

Everyone in the village, except those who died and were sacrificed, will most likely be contaminated!

"I am only a Sequence 7..." Aurore couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her face, "You are only a Sequence 9."

We are about to face something like this!

According to Lumian's description of the last battle of the Lent celebration and his recent experience of hunting the black mark monster, Aurore believed that he was definitely no match for the priest after receiving the gift, and even the shepherd Pierre Bay. Here, she felt that she had to be prepared in advance to fight.

At that time, Lumian was able to kill the mutated priest in a one-on-one fight. He didn't know what kind of bad luck he had.

And if we want to prevent the priest and the others from obtaining extraordinary power in advance, the Twelfth Night may not come, and the cycle will most likely be restarted in advance.

"Hell's difficulty! Hell's difficulty!" Aurore patted the dining table in front of him with a sad look on his face.

Without waiting for Lumian to respond, she raised her hands and rubbed the golden hair on her head, as if she was venting something.

After completing a set of moves, Aurore calmed down her expression and calmly said to Lumian:

"Tomorrow morning you go find those three outsiders. You can properly disclose to them the anomalies in the village. You don't have to hide the fact that we are extraordinary people."

"This is very dangerous..." Lumian replied subconsciously.

Aren’t all wild Extraordinary people naturally guilty when they encounter officials?

Aurore exhaled slowly and said:

"In this situation, we can't care so much anymore.

"Except for that mysterious lady, the three of them are probably the most problem-free and trustworthy people in the village now, and each of them has strength that is not much worse than mine, or maybe even stronger.

"We are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope. No one should dislike anyone. Whether they are wild Extraordinaries or official Extraordinaries, we must all unite.

"As for whether I will be hunted down by the authorities in the future, I can worry about it later. Now I need to think about getting out of the loop."

Lumian had heard the phrase "grasshopper tied to a rope" from his sister before, and knew that it meant that everyone was in the same predicament and faced the same problem. If something happened, no one could escape. , must unite.

"Okay, I'll go find them tomorrow." He agreed.

Aurore then said:

"I now suspect that there is another person behind the curate and the shepherd Pierre. He is the beginning of everything and the source of pollution."

"Mrs. Pualis?" Lumian guessed, "She is not only powerful, but she is also the lover of the parish priest. She can control him quietly and use him to influence other people in the village."

"But she has nothing to do with the shepherd Pierre." Aurore looked at her younger brother, frowning and thinking, "Judging from what happened to the three sheep, last October, Pierre and Niall turned around. When Chang went to the plains, he should have possessed extraordinary abilities, or at least mastered the corresponding knowledge, because they never came back halfway and had no way to obtain them.

"This means that the abnormalities in the village can be traced back to at least July and August last year. Well, did you notice any problems?"

Lumian shook his head slowly:

"No."

He originally thought that he was very familiar with Kordu Village, but now he discovered that the undercurrent had been there for more than half a year, which made him feel strange here and made him feel scared from the bottom of his heart.

Where is the problem? Lumian only felt that there were layers of fog in front of him, one layer after another was eliminated, and he could never see the true face of things.

Aurore continued:

"Maybe it's the owl.

"The wizard who died in the legend may not have really died. He is still hiding somewhere in the village, or he may be someone we often see.

"He may have discovered that I am also a 'wizard', so he deliberately concealed the legend from me. There are no such restrictions for ordinary people like you."

Having said this, Auroer said in a deep voice:

"Next time that owl comes to see you, notify me as soon as possible and I will ask 'White Paper' to follow it and see where it will fly."

Lumian said "hmm", indicating that he was also waiting for the owl to come again.

Let’s see if I don’t pluck all your hair this time! He cursed bitterly in his heart.

Aurore thought for a moment and made the third arrangement:

"Tomorrow afternoon, I, Mrs. Poialis, will come to my house as a guest. At that time, the administrator is still working, and there are only housekeepers and servants left in the castle. You take the opportunity to sneak in and see if you can find any clues. Well, if you can convince me in the morning Those three foreigners, you can ask them to help with this operation."

When Mrs. Poulias was at home, she did not dare to let the "blank paper" pass. When Mrs. Poulias was by her side, she could not be distracted and could only rely on her brother.

Lumian nodded first and then suggested:

"It's best not to be alone with Mrs. Poialis, I'm afraid she might take advantage of you.

"Invite Naaraiza and the others to join us for afternoon tea?"

The more people there are, the higher the safety factor.

"Okay." Aurore thought this was a better choice.

She then said with half concern and half joking:

"You have to be careful after you sneak into the castle. I don't want to be an aunt now."

Lumian did not dare to fight back, but said with his eyes, "I am more worried about you because Mrs. Pualis is on your side."

During dinner, Aurore released the "white paper" and asked it to monitor the sheep pen, and found that the three sheep licked the blood off their faces without letting the shepherd Pierre Berry notice anything unusual.

From then until he fell asleep, Lumian once again received mystical education and mastered many Hermetic words, including "I", "name", "summoning", "need", "light", "sun", etc. .

"Light" is the incantation that opens the "Integrity Brooch", and it has three pronunciations.
In the room filled with gray mist, Lumian woke up.

He walked to the window and looked at the dark red "peak" and the circle of building ruins surrounding it again.

I don’t know what secrets are hidden here... Lumian muttered.

As he watched, he suddenly had an idea:

There are too many dangerous areas in the ruins that he cannot or dare not approach now, such as the place where the three-faced monster wanders. But if he could summon a "blank paper" spirit-like creature and sign a contract with it, Let him help you sneak in and observe, and you should be able to gain more information.

His vision, smell and hearing all involve the improvement of extraordinary characteristics. In theory, they are a kind of supernatural power, and the "blank paper" can be used to carry one of them.

While thinking, Lumian said silently to himself:

"The question now is whether spiritual creatures can be summoned from the ruins of the dream world...

"If not, after the call from reality and the signing of the contract, can we use the connection between us to bring it into the dream...

"What impact does adding a contracted creature have on the cycle? Can the corresponding spirit world be added? If not, once the summoning time is up and the contracted creature returns, the cycle will restart..."

The more Lumian thought about it, the more confused he became. He had a deep respect for the mysticism, and he only hoped to master a small amount of language enough to complete a summoning ceremony as soon as possible.

Without further delay, he took the shotgun, the few remaining lead bullets, the sharp axe, left his home, walked through the wilderness, and entered the ruins again.
