Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Lumian has been waiting for the interpretation of the dream symbol for some time, eager to encounter www.youxs.org again.

Only in this way can he torture the target in a more targeted manner.

This time, after Ms. Magician grabbed his shoulders, what he saw was no longer rich layers of color blocks and strange-shaped creatures.

He first felt a little bit of starlight rising, and then he was in a twisted and secret dark tunnel. Both his spirit and body seemed to be showing signs of chaos. He didn't know whether he was moving forward, retreating, or rising and falling.

This state only lasted for a very short time, but Lumian could not tell how long it lasted. It seemed that he had temporarily lost his accurate perception of the passage of time.

He returned to normal, and when he opened his eyes, he even suspected that he was at the Breeze Ballroom one second and had arrived at his destination the next second.

What caught his eyes was a primeval forest that almost covered the sky. In the open space surrounded by huge trees stood a brown hunter's cabin.

Go in. The voice of Ms. Magician came to Lumian's ears, but he did not see the figure of this demigod.

Following the instructions, he stepped forward, stepping on a large number of leeches that rolled closer, passing through various poisonous insects flying in the air and crawling on the surface of the vegetation. He arrived at the hunter's cabin and opened the ajar wooden door.

Inside are rows of bookshelves and wooden tables placed in the middle of the bookshelves. It seems to be in two different worlds from the surrounding virgin forest and the shape of the hunter's cabin.

There was a figure sitting behind the wooden table. He was wearing a white shirt and an open black jacket. His body was leaning against the back of the chair. His whole person seemed to be obscured by a thick mist, making it very blurry, making it difficult for Lumian to see his face clearly. , can only barely distinguish the condition of clothing, the position of facial features and the specific gender.

Sit down. The figure said in a magnetic and ethereal voice.

Hello. Lumian bowed politely before sitting down, What should I call you?

The figure thought for a moment and said, You can think of me as a poet.

Poet Lumian didn't understand the meaning of this code name, but still chose to respect it: Hello, Mr. Poet.

The poet nodded gently and said:

The Magician has told me the entire dream and related information, but I still want to hear you tell it in detail again.

Call him Magician directly... He is also a member of the Tarot Club? A certain holder of the Major Arcana card? Lumian looked at the poet opposite him again with suspicion.

Relying on the outlines drawn in the thick fog, he had a further impression:

The black hair is longer than ordinary people, and he really looks like an artist; the eyes are green, and the eyes are not sharp; the face is thin, and the height is not low; the sitting posture is not correct, and looks very casual...

These elements combined with the thick fog make the poet seem to be coming from the depths of a dream.

Okay. Lumian responded to the other party's words.

He told the nightmare about Kordu Village exactly, and added various traces found in the ruins and a large amount of information harvested in the past month. Compared with before, when he recalled these things, although he still had emotional fluctuations, they were less intense. During the whole process, he only took a deep breath once.

As he was talking, Lumian saw that the poet leaning on the back of the chair had clasped his hands and placed them between his chest and abdomen, and his green eyes were much clearer than before.

The next second, Lumian discovered that there were strange insects burrowing in and out of the edges of the opponent's eye sockets.

Those insects are transparent and opaque, as if they are carrying rings.

Such a scene almost made Lumian forget to describe it, just like facing the headless monster created by Supervisor Olson, he was inevitably frightened.

He composed himself, forced himself to ignore the weird insects crawling into his eyes, and fully expressed what he wanted to say.

After he finished speaking, the poet was silent for a moment and said: It is indeed a dream full of symbolic meaning.

Let's start with the simplest one, the dead wizard in the tomb.

Doesn't this symbolize that Aurore became the one favored by fate and eventually died? Before Lumian could raise this question, the poet seemed to have noticed his thoughts and took the initiative to explain: This is a very typical dual structure. Symbol, that is to say, it contains two levels of meaning.

On the first floor, the wizard symbolizes the power of fate, or pollution, and also represents Thermipolos. The concept of coffin and death are the same, both symbolizing that the power of fate has been sealed and lost its vitality, while the tomb represents The seal itself.

“In the dream, we can see that the wizard has indeed died and never left the tomb, which is consistent with the seal state on your body.

Because in this matter, your sister Aurore also received the gift of fate. She is currently suspected to be one of the leaders. To a certain extent, she also represents the power of fate. In addition, she is already dead, so the wizard Things take on a second layer of symbolic meaning.

“These two layers of symbolic meaning are superimposed through the core point of “the power of destiny,” making it easy for readers to ignore one layer.”

So that's it... Lumian, who was feeling increasingly heavy-hearted, was persuaded by Mr. Poet, and realized the essence of the wizard legend from another angle.

The poet maintained the same sitting position just now, and there were no longer strange insects crawling in and out of his eye sockets:

Unraveling the full symbolism of the dead wizard, there is a tentative answer to what the owl and the other you represent:

The other you not only symbolizes your personality that has been alienated by pollution, but also symbolizes Thermipolos trying to achieve his own goals by influencing your thoughts. If you only have the former symbol, the other you should not be able to leave the tomb;

The owl's ability to freely enter and leave the dead wizard's tomb shows that it can bypass the seal to some extent. At the same time, it also shows several characteristics: it has been monitoring your changes, did not appear at critical moments, and stayed beside the dead wizard. .

Based on our interpretation of the symbolic meaning of the dead wizard, the owl represents another fateful person, responsible for monitoring your status, and its attitude towards the dead wizard is relatively vague. It neither showed due protection nor failed to protect you in the end. to assist in the coming of angels during the ceremony.

Bypassing the seal should mean that it is in the outside world and can communicate with Thermipolos in some way. I am not sure about this yet. You cannot ignore other possibilities.

The symbol of the victim turned out to be an owl. I thought it was another me or Aurore... Lumian was both relieved and disappointed.

Taking advantage of the poet's temporary pause, he raised a question: The underground altar is real, but what does the breath of the victims in the dream symbolize?

The first layer is a symbol of the power of destiny that has appeared there, but if there is only this layer, the symbolic elements are unlikely to appear in the form of the victim's breath. The poet took a few seconds to interpret, The second layer , if the fateful one symbolized by the owl monitoring you is already a victim, it means that it is unwilling to let others come into contact with the altar of fate, which also symbolizes the power of fate.

In addition, we also saw that you suffered the least damage at the time, which means that the victim was not willing to kill you and would even protect you to some extent. This is similar to what you experienced in the Trier market area. Psychotherapy' is very similar.

From the beginning, who had the idea of ​​​​plotting Thermipolos? Of course, before the intention was really revealed, he would also cooperate with Thermipolos to do something... Thermipolos tried to influence me several times. , but none of them succeeded. Is there a reason for this? Lumian couldn't help but sympathize with the fateful angel sealed on his chest.

The poet continues:

I suspect there is a third layer of symbolism, which represents a real victim in the village of Kordu, a non-supernatural victim.

The real victim... Lumian was shocked when he heard this.

He made many associations but could not find the right answer.

The poet himself was not too sure about this, and without further explanation, he instead interpreted the symbol that Lumian was most concerned about at the moment:

“Whether the lizard-like elf appears in reality or not, its symbolic meaning in dreams is quite obvious:

First, it shows its desire for the cemetery and its love for entering and exiting those tombs, but it does not actually enter the tomb of the dead wizard. This symbolizes that it belongs to another force and has a certain connection with the power of fate, but it is not in any way It’s more like searching for and harvesting something related to fate.”

Other forces... Lumian recalled the transparent lizard that appeared on the scene in the Tree of Shadows incident.

The poet sat up a little straighter: Second, it symbolizes hidden pollution and unconscious change.

In the entire dream, there were only two people who had lizard-like elf crawling out of their mouths. One was your sister Aurore, www.youxs.org. What impression do you have of the latter in reality?

Lumian thought for a while and said: It's similar to the dream, but not so exaggerated.

He is a fairly devout believer in the Eternal Burning Sun, www.youxs.org. He had the paranoid idea of ​​hosting a sermon and listening to a confession. Later, it became more and more obvious that he completely ignored other things. …..”

At this point, Lumian was suddenly stunned.

He thought of Aurore, another person with a lizard-like elf crawling out of his mouth.

Didn't she also neglect to write to Hela for help?

Mr. Poet nodded: Your sister Aurore should have similar behavior.

Third, the forces or gods represented by the lizard-like elf are not willing to see the angel of fate actually come. It symbolizes the role of the destroyer.

Seeing that Lumian was a little confused, the poet further said:

“If the person with the lizard-like elf crawling out of his mouth hadn’t knocked you unconscious, brought you to the final sacrificial site, and made you a vessel, the advent ceremony would probably have been successful.

Think about it, during that ceremony, if the person standing in front of Aurore was someone else instead of you, would she have woken up briefly and pushed him out of the altar?
