www.novelbuddy.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Lord of the Mysteries 2 Ring of Fate!
Lumian didn't understand what the illusory river he saw or sensed represented, so he could only guess that it might be a symbol of fate, while following the instinct of "Fallen Mercury", he raised the tip of the knife and pointed it towards the river One of the mercury symbols.
As soon as he came into contact with the mercury-colored river, scenes flashed in Lumian's mind:
"Noodle Man" is dancing the mysterious sacrificial dance: "Noodle Man" is stunned by the black thorn symbol and crawls to the ground: "Noodle Man" catches the flesh and blood scattered in the ruins of the dream to fill his stomach: "Noodle Man" People" tried to get close to the "city wall", but they seemed to be afraid of something, and each time they only went deep into a certain level before returning on their own: "Noodle Man" had his head chopped off by an ax...
This is the whole "life" of this cycle since it started? Lumian realized something, and tried to stab the tip of "Fallen Mercury" towards the set of mercury symbols representing the death of "Noodle Man", which is the end of the illusory river.
It was too big, too heavy, and he couldn't make it.
At this time, the mercury symbols began to fade, the illusory river gradually disappeared, and the images that appeared in Lumian's mind quickly became blurred.
Have a time limit? Lumian didn't dare to choose slowly, and based on the principle of proximity, he turned the silver-black evil dagger to the fate of the "noodle man" who was shocked by the black thorn symbol.
The mercury-colored symbol that seemed to be formed by the self-winding of the river was pried at once, shrinking and solidifying into a drop of liquid, which penetrated into the blade of "Fallen Mercury".
In the next second, the illusory river disappeared completely, and Lumian could no longer see the fate of "Noodle Man".
He lowered his head to look at "Fallen Mercury", and saw layers of strange symbols on the silver-black knife were gently swaying like water, as if endowed with some kind of vitality.
They could make people dizzy at first, but now they are even more strange.
"It succeeded..." Lumian murmured to himself in a rather gratified voice.
The current "Fallen Mercury" is considered complete.
After that, as long as he can use this evil short knife to injure the flame monster in battle, he can exchange the fate of "being stunned by the black thorn symbol" to the other party.
After wrapping the blade of "Fallen Mercury" with black cloth strips and inserting it back into the belt around his waist, Lumian simply disposed of the corpse of "Noodle Man", brought it into a half-collapsed building, and destroyed it. Drop the last support of the house, let the stones and logs crash down, burying everything inside.
After doing this, Lumian went back to the area where the flame monsters haunted.
This time, he didn't take a closer look, but collected footprints and other traces, and took the time to identify which ones were left by the target when he deliberately circled around and which ones were its real route.
It took nearly two hours for Lumian to gradually grasp the daily range of activities and rules of action of the flame monster, and a map about hunting naturally appeared in his mind.
It took him some time to go through all the preset battlefields, looking for natural traps that could be used.
After an unknown amount of time, Lumian rubbed his forehead, and decided to go deep into the ruins while he still had some energy, and go to the "city wall" to gather information for the follow-up exploration.
Without being careless, he danced the sacrificial dance again, half arousing the black thorn symbol.
With this "talisman", Lumian quickly moved forward along the last route.
He encountered some monsters on the road, but they either turned around and ran away just as they were about to launch an attack, or they disappeared from a distance. The deeper they went, the more of the latter.
Finally, when the burning sensation in his chest caused by the second sacrificial dance disappeared, Lumian saw the "city wall" made up of twisted houses again.
He rested for a while, and when his spirit recovered a bit, he performed the sacrificial dance again.
The sometimes sonorous and sometimes soft dance ended, and Lumian dived in the direction where he encountered "Fallen Mercury" with the black thorn symbol on his head.
After crossing the fire-extinguished room, he slowed down, fearing a sudden attack.
After walking for a while, Lumian felt that the light in front of him was significantly dimmer, as if there was some huge object in the sky that blocked the falling light, or the sun was behind the current position.
Lumian raised his head subconsciously and looked into the sky, but he couldn't see anything except the thick fog.
Unable to find the reason, he had no choice but to pull out "Fallen Mercury" and cautiously entered the front area.
In an instant, he seemed to come from day to night.
Of course, this is just an exaggerated description, and Lumian thinks that the more accurate description is from the foggy weather to the cloudy place.
Almost at the same time, he subconsciously yawned, and the fatigue that had already appeared became intense in an instant.
"No, I can't sleep..." Lumian tried not to close his eyes, and retreated backwards from the dark side of the gloomy "foot of the mountain".
His spirit has recovered a lot, although the fatigue is still there, but at least it is bearable.
"You will fall asleep as soon as you enter, the deeper you go, the more you want to sleep?" Lumian muttered silently, turned around, and walked in another direction.
After making up a sacrificial dance halfway, he came to a strange area again.
On his right is the "city wall" with stacked doors and windows. On the left is a wasteland connected with a circle of building ruins, and brown trees stand in front of him.
In the ruins without a single weed, the trees seemed to be extremely flexible, intertwined and hugged each other, forming a wooden wall five or six meters high.
There are many green branches and leaves growing on this wooden wall, lush and lush, completely different from the dead and desolate surroundings.
If it hadn't blocked the road leading to the back of the "city wall", Lumian might have praised it for its "tenacious vitality", but now, he can only express his inner dissatisfaction with a dirty gesture of raising two middle fingers.
He can actually choose to take a detour and enter from the other side of the dream ruins, but he is not familiar with that side at all, and his spirituality is almost exhausted, so there is no need to take risks.
He yawned unabashedly, and Lumian, who was still burning in his chest, started to go back the same way.
When Lumian woke up, some morning light had penetrated through the thick curtains from the window, outlining the desk, chair, wardrobe and other furniture in the room more clearly.
"It's still early..." He muttered silently, turned his head and looked at Aurora beside him.
Aurora's blond hair was piled loose on the white pillow, and she was fast asleep with her eyes closed.
She grabbed the top of the quilt with her right hand, and wanted to turn over from time to time, but she instinctively stopped herself, her brows were slightly frowned, and then gradually smoothed away.
Lumian probably knows why her sister behaves like this: she hides too many bottles and cans in her long skirt to prevent possible accidents. Once she sleeps on her side or on her stomach, she will definitely hurt herself. .
"It's hard work..." Lumian sighed without making a sound, with a soft expression and a peaceful heart.
After watching for a while, he looked away, carefully got out of bed, and walked out of the bedroom.
He came to the side balcony where he could climb to the roof, and moved his body against the redness in the distance.
In less than a minute, Valentine came out of the room, stood in the corridor, looked at him and said, "Are you also welcoming the sun?"
His gaze became very gentle, and his usual indifferent expression was filled with approval.
Can I say no? Lumian smiled:
"yes."
Valentine nodded in satisfaction, entered the balcony, faced the rising sun, and stood upright.
He immediately opened his arms, raised his head halfway, and shouted in a low voice:
"Praise the sun!"
"Praise the sun!" Lumian had to do the same.
Valentine folded his arms, crossed his chest, closed his eyes and prayed for a while, then opened his eyes, and said to Lumian:
"If the cycle can be lifted smoothly, I will introduce you to the bishop of the Darliege area, or, do you prefer to go to Bigor?"
"I prefer Trier." Lumian replied with a smile, "but where to go is not up to me, it's up to my sister."
Valentine nodded, did not continue the topic, turned around and entered the corridor, and started to patrol back and forth.
Nothing happened until eight o'clock. The two went down to the first floor and started breakfast together.
Not long after, Ryan came down to help, and Liya also got up at nine o'clock, only Aurora was still asleep.
"Do you have any plans for today?" Ryan took a bite of his toast, turned his head and asked Lumian.
Lumian thought for a while and said:
"Leave a person at home, and Auror cannot face possible attacks alone.
"The remaining two and I went out to replenish food and brought back a few buckets of water. Hehe, we will stick to it until the twelfth night."
There is no running water in Kordu Village. When Auror was repairing this house, he installed a water tank on the top. As long as the water is regularly replenished and disinfected, it is equivalent to having running water.
"Well, these things have to be done before Lent." Ryan agreed.
Lumian immediately showed a bright smile:
"By the way, there is one more thing. We need to visit Mrs. Puares to see if we can persuade her to help us investigate the dead wizard and owl in the tomb."
Unsurprisingly, Lumian saw Valentine frowning, and Ryan's smile was slightly stiff.
Liya took a sip of water and said with a smile:
"I'll stay here with Aurora."
"No problem." Lumian helped Ryan and Valentine agree.
The matter had come to such a point that the two gentlemen had to agree to go to the magistrate's mansion in the morning.
After breakfast, the three of them left the semi-underground two-story building and walked towards the old tavern.
On the way, they passed by the house of the shepherd Pierre Berry.
Lumian's heart moved, and he said to Ryan and Valentine:
"Let's go and see how the three sheep are doing."
He remembered the sheep bleating he had heard last night.
Ryan and Valentine, who understood what he meant, did not object.
After making a small circle, the three came to the back of Bailey's house, but what they saw was an empty sheepfold.
The three sheep were gone.
