Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Staring at the sheepfold with only haystacks and pellets of feces left, Ryan frowned and said, The underground altar was repaired so quickly?

He suspected that the three sheep had been sacrificed.

Those evil god believers may have some special abilities. Valentine responded with a look of disgust.

Listening to the discussion between the two, Lumian suddenly recalled the sheep's cry that he heard vaguely last night.

Could that be the sound one of them made when being sacrificed? With such doubts, he told Ryan and Valentine about his guess.

Unlikely. Ryan shook his head. The church is hundreds of meters away from your home, and the altar is underground.

What he meant was that even if the Hunter strengthened his hearing, it would be impossible to receive the sounds originating from the underground of the church.

Lumian himself thought so, but that couldn't explain why he heard the sheep braying. Moreover, at the same time, there was an obvious burning sensation in his chest, and the black thorn symbol was half-activated.

This can't be faked!

The burning sensation... Lumian felt relieved and remembered something the mysterious lady said:

Pray to yourself...the principle of proximity··

Thinking back to the ritual of praying for the strength of the Dancer, the black thorn symbol on his chest was also highlighted, and he suddenly had a new guess:

He could hear the sound of sheep braying during sacrifices, which stemmed from the occult connection!

To put it simply, when the priest and others held a ceremony to pray to the hidden existence, due to the principle of proximity, they also pointed to the pollution in Lumian's body and semi-stimulated the black thorn symbol. Therefore, Lumian was able to isolate himself. From such a distance, I could faintly hear the cry of a sheep.

Since he didn't respond and didn't know how to respond. After all, the pollution was sealed by the owner of the blue and black pattern. The priest and his friends finally contacted the hidden existence through their ceremony.

By the time the ceremony was over, the burning sensation in Lumian's chest naturally subsided.

From this point of view, there was no invisible or strange force that invaded Aurore's room last night. It was just that the abnormality in me was semi-activated by the priest and their rituals... Lumian probably figured out the cause and effect.

At this time, Ryan reminded his companions:

It seems that our exploration of the church's underground gave the priests and others a strong sense of crisis. They found ways to repair the altar and prayed for strength in advance.

“We need to be doubly careful from now on and not think that the situation will become dangerous until closer to Lent.”

If we weren't worried about restarting, we would have solved them long ago! Valentine said with hatred.

Then, he added dully:

Can you please stop calling that evil god's servant the priest? He doesn't deserve it!

Why did he become a priest if he didn't deserve it? Lumian did not dare to say what was in his heart.

He was not afraid this time, but mainly because he wanted to maintain his image in Valentine's eyes. After all, he might have to persuade this fanatical believer to do something in the future, such as committing suicide to verify the nature of the cycle.

Ryan nodded: Let's seize the time to visit Mrs. Pualis, replenish food and water, and try not to go out if we can.

Lumian didn't say much, www.youxs.org, and walked towards the hill where the castle was located.

After passing through the colorful garden, people came to the door that was only half open, and said to the male servant wearing a red coat and white trousers: We have something to see Mrs. Pualis.

Wait a moment. The manservant glanced at Ryan and Valentine, turned around hurriedly, and disappeared through the door.

Not long after, the midwife in a gray and white dress came out.

Compared to last time, her face looked increasingly blue, and her eyes were so dull that it was chilling.

If Lumian hadn't told Ryan and Valentine in advance that the midwife was not dead yet, they would definitely be shocked now.

They have seen quite a lot of dead people turning into living corpses. The Sun Priest specializes in dealing with this kind of thing. There are not a hundred but dozens of similar things purified by Valentine, but they have been chopped into flesh. It is not something that they can understand now that a small human being can reproduce his original appearance and is closer to a living person than a corpse.

The midwife opened her mouth and said in a completely calm tone: Madam doesn't want to see you, so she wants you to go back.

We have something very important. Lumian did not shy away and asked directly, Isn't Mrs. Pualis worried that the one underground will ruin her subsequent arrangements?

The midwife maintained her previous tone: Madam said it wouldn't affect her.

Hearing these words, Lumian suddenly felt a cold feeling all over his body.

This means that it will be difficult for them to get help from Mrs. Pualis, a powerful person.

Lumian laughed without any trace of frustration or dejection. He looked at the midwife and said, But we may explore that tomb.

What he meant was that no matter where something went wrong during the exploration process, the cycle might restart early. The expression of the midwife has not changed, it is still so stiff and dull:

You can try, but you will only be disappointed.

What's the meaning? Lumian couldn't understand what Mrs. Pualis wanted to express.

She means that although we explore, she will provide some help at critical moments, but we should not be able to find any valuable clues? The more Lumian thought about it, the more he felt that Mrs. Pualis probably didn't mean what he had guessed, otherwise she would not have directly rejected the request to meet through the midwife.

Before Lumian could think about other possibilities, Ryan asked thoughtfully:

Mrs. Pualis is trying to tell us that the person or persons in the tomb can easily control us and successfully prevent our investigation without triggering the cycle?

Yes. The midwife nodded slowly, turned around, and walked into the depths of the castle.

Lumian, Valentine and Ryan looked at each other and left here helplessly.

Their next destination was the old tavern, where they could buy lots of ingredients and barrels of cheap wine.

Compared with water that easily deteriorates, wine is easier to store. As long as the alcohol content is not high, it can be used to replenish water later.

After entering the old tavern, Lumian immediately looked around and did not see the mysterious lady.

He looked back slightly disappointed and walked all the way to the bar, www.youxs.org.

When Ryan and Valentine went to move the barrels out, Lumian asked in a lowered voice:

Where is the other lady?

Morris Bene shook his head:

I don't know. Maybe she was in the room, maybe she went to another place in the village, maybe she went to Liège. Anyway, her rent was paid until the 9th. She can do whatever she likes.

No. 9? Twelfth Night? Lumian nodded thoughtfully.

April 9th ​​was the so-called Twelfth Night calculated by him and Aurore.

This also means that March 29th is indeed the first day of the cycle.

And if Ryan and the other three outsiders did not happen to enter Kordu Village on the first day of a certain cycle, it means that as long as outsiders break into this area, the cycle will restart immediately, on March 29 start.

Oops. Lumian patted his head, www.youxs.org, I don't feel well in my stomach. Go to the Xiameng bathroom and tell them to wait for me.

www.youxs.org You want to do something bad again, you kid expression: Don't cause trouble in my place!

The disadvantage of a bad reputation has appeared again... Lumian chuckled and said: Don't worry, I'm really just borrowing the alliance's bathroom!

He waved as he spoke and ran to the entrance of the stairs.

He did want to borrow the bathroom, but he wanted to borrow the one upstairs.

www.youxs.org, muttered: Spring is here and this bastard boy is also in heat...

His voice was just loud enough for Lumian to hear.

After going up to the second floor, Lumian came to the opposite side of the bathroom and stood in front of the mysterious lady's room.

Dong Dong Dong, he knocked on the door.

No one responded.

Seeing that there was no Do Not Disturb sign hanging on the handle, Lumian knocked on the door twice more, each time louder than the last.

Unfortunately, the mysterious lady never appeared.

Lumian thought for a while, took out a thin piece of wire, and pried a few times at the keyhole.

The door opened with a creak, and it was empty, no one was there.

The quilt on the bed was neatly folded, as if no one had been living there during this time.

Lumian let out a silent breath and closed the door without trying to enter.

In the afternoon, under the pretext of teaching Lumian Hermes and urgently improving his strength, the siblings gathered in Aurore's bedroom.

Lumian lowered his voice and told his sister the key points of his exploration experience in the Dream Ruins last night, and finally asked: Do you have anything to add? About hunting the flame monster.

Even though he was well prepared and had the Corrupted Mercury and Invisibility abilities, he still didn't have much confidence in hunting the flame monster.

That is a sequence of qualitative changes in the Hunter path!

Aurore laughed: You have considered all aspects. The only thing I can add is...

She raised her hands, clenched them into fists, shook them gently and said:

come on!

... Lumian was defeated by the fact that his sister was joking at this time.

But the tension in his heart was relieved a lot.

Aurore then added: The rest are just some words that are nothing new:

Be careful, be careful, be careful.

She then sighed:

It's a pity that the mysterious lady is not here, otherwise I could make some simple, auxiliary charms. Together with the 'Integrity Brooch', I can bring you into your dream.

Yes. Although Lumian was disappointed, he was not depressed and did not intend to give up the action.

In the evening, at about 9:50, Lumian left Aurore's bedroom and walked to the bathroom.

He planned to empty his belly before the night shift.

Under the crimson moonlight, the bathroom was dark, with only the area where the toilet was clearly visible.

Lumian moved closer and unbuckled his belt.

The shadow on the wall behind him suddenly squirmed and turned into a figure with an ax raised high!
