Chapter 31 Lent begins

The lady looked sideways at the window of the old tavern:

"It's almost time, so I'll finally tell you a little common sense.

"Based on the law of the immortality of extraordinary characteristics, we can know that people combine with extraordinary characteristics to become extraordinary, and creatures combine with extraordinary characteristics to become extraordinary creatures.

She didn't give Lumian a chance to answer, and said directly:

"That's called a magic item.

"Because the objects themselves do not have concepts such as will, spirit, and self-control, plus the combined effects of other factors, they combine extraordinary characteristics, in addition to showing corresponding special abilities, they will also bring strong negative effects.

"This has also led to magical items being called seals.

"And the magical items that have been sealed by major churches have their own numbers, which are divided into four grades: 3, 2, 1, and 0, the smaller the prefix number, the higher the danger, among them, the number of level 1 and level 0 seals is limited, which is extremely harmful, and the number is common to all churches and will not be repeated."

"Level 0 seal......" Lumian whispered.

He was extremely impressed by the fact that sequence 0 was equal to the true god, and a certain association arose from this, so he asked:

"Is this a seal formed by those gods who fell in the past or the evil gods that were destroyed?"

According to the twenty-two paths, there is a sequence of 0, all of which correspond to a true god, and the current number of gods is obviously insufficient.

Of course, Lumian also admitted that this may be caused by his lack of knowledge of the evil god's hidden existence.

"Not all." The lady thought for a moment, "Most of them are angelic persons, and only a few have the ability to kill gods."

Lumian nodded:

"I understand, I will not despict other people's items."

The woman added:

"You can't underestimate the negative effects of seals, you will definitely have your own seals in the future.

"Well, there is another type of item in the field of the occult, they are called extraordinary things, which are made by extraordinary people in the corresponding sequence using their own abilities, spirituality, or with the help of the spirit world and gods.

"In comparison, extraordinary weapons are more stable, and many can be used in years.

"As a 'hunter', you lack the ability to deal with spirit ghost-like creatures before sequence 7, and if you have the opportunity in the future, consider obtaining corresponding seals or extraordinary objects."

After listening carefully, Lumian asked inquiringly:

"Spirit world?"

He had seen the term in The Veil of Secrets magazine, but had not received an adequate explanation.

The lady said slightly faster:

"From the perspective of the occult, this world is divided into three layers, one is the real world, the second is the spiritual world, the third is the astral world, and the others are formed by attaching themselves to one of these three, such as the underworld.

"I don't need to talk about the real world, you know very well that the spiritual world is the world where spirits live, where many concepts of reality no longer exist, and you will gradually understand them later, and the astral world originally referred to the world of God, but now it needs to include the entire starry sky."

Lumian himself just asked casually, and immediately returned to the topic just now after getting the preliminary answer:

"Can 'hunters' make extraordinary things?"

He felt that the "wizard" should be able to.

The lady shook her head first, and then said:

"'Hunters' cannot rely on the sequence itself, but because their spirituality has been improved, they can learn ritual magic, pray to a certain god or a hidden being, and use their responses to make talismans, weapons and other extraordinary things.

"But I want to remind you that most of the hidden beings are very dangerous, and it is best not to try to pray to them, otherwise death will be considered the best ending, and the seven righteous gods will basically not respond to you unless you join the corresponding church and become an official extraordinary person."

"Simply put, it is completely impossible for 'hunters' to make extraordinary things?" Lumian was a little disappointed.

The lady smiled and said:

"No, on the one hand, you can use the blood, spit, etc. of some extraordinary creatures to make poisonous weapons, which is also an extraordinary thing in a sense, and on the other hand, when you unlock the secret of the dream, I will tell you the name of a great being, and you can pray to him."

Great beings? This is the first time she has used "great" as an adjective, and she has never used "Eternal Sun" or "Hidden Sage" before...... Who could it be? Is there no danger in praying to Him? Lumian's eyes narrowed slightly, shocked and suspicious.

The more he understood, the more he felt that his occult knowledge was poor.

Lumian said "hmm", with the mentality that he would not lose anything if he asked:

"What is the sequence 8 corresponding to 'hunter', and what about sequence 7?"

The lady replied indifferently:

"Sequence 8 of the 'Hunter' path is called 'Provocateur', and sequence 7 is 'Arsonist'.

"Okay, that's it for today."

She immediately stood up and walked to the entrance on the second floor.

After a few steps, she stopped, turned around and said:

"I forgot to remind you.

"Remember, you're just acting."

Just playing ...... Lumian chewed on this sentence and asked thoughtfully:

"What if you take the role you play seriously?"

"You'll become less and less like yourself until one day ......" the lady smiled and closed her mouth.

She turned around, walked to the staircase, and disappeared there.

He didn't finish speaking...... Lumian muttered silently.

He could feel that if he didn't remember that he was just acting, the consequences would most likely be serious.

Lumian was in no hurry to leave the old tavern, sat quietly in the corner, and recalled all the common sense that the lady had just said several times, so as not to forget anything.

The more he pondered, the more he realized the importance of those two laws and one method:

"They are like the main framework of the occult building, and everything else is attached to them......

"I don't know Aurore, don't you understand......

"Wait until you leave Kordu and talk to her about this issue......

"Uh, I don't know if that lady will allow me to tell Aurore directly......"

…………

After leaving the old tavern, Lumian looked back and muttered silently:

"Why haven't those three foreigners taken action yet, it's Lent today......"

He went to the village square while thinking.

After he asked if he had called back, he saw Ava, Raymond and others coming here

Ava changed into a long white dress, wore a round headdress made of branches and flowers on her head, and a similar giant necklace around her neck.

This is the protagonist of Lent, the "spring elf".

Raymond and the other young people surrounded Ava, each carrying a basket made of branches, which contained grass, dirt, stones, leaves, and other things.

"Lumian, the blessing parade is about to begin!" Ava's aqua blue eyes turned and she saw Lumian.

Her face was full of joy.

Raymond and the others also looked happy:

"Quick, let's go get the offering together!"

Because "Novel Weekly" hadn't replied to the telegram yet, Lumian had nothing to do for the time being, so he simply joined the blessing parade.

These young people sang loudly, surrounded Ava, and walked out of the square.

At a distance of more than ten meters, they stopped in front of the first building.

Lumian walked to the door and slammed the door:

"The 'Spring Elf' is coming!"

The door creaked open, and Na Alayiza appeared in front of everyone.

She is another female head of the family with the title "Na" in the village, in her forties, with black hair and blue eyes and a smile.

Seeing the door open, Ava took two steps forward, spread her hands, and sang:

"I am the elf of spring

"The face is amiable and beautiful

「……

"Sing it, dance it

"Only in this way can we get a good harvest......"

After singing, Ava took out a piece of dirt from Raymond's basket and handed it to Na Araiza.

"Thank you 'Spring Elf'." Naaraiza took it with a smile and handed a piece of fabric in her hand to Ava:

"Harvest! Harvest!" Lumian and other young people responded in unison.

This is a blessing ceremony: the "spring elves" bless the villagers with a good harvest this year by singing and giving natural objects such as dirt, grass, and stones, and the villagers need to give feedback, that is, make certain offerings, otherwise the blessing will become a curse.

Waiting for Raymond beside him to accept the fabric, Ava sang another passionately.

Only then did they say goodbye to Na Alaza and walked to the next house.

——Some of the offerings received during the blessing parade will be thrown into the river during the waterside ceremony, and the rest will be placed in the final ceremony.

That's quite a substantial gain.

And if Kordu Village really has a bumper harvest this year, then Ava, who is the embodiment of the "spring elf", will be widely considered to have been loved by the elves and blessed by spring.

In that way, she really has hope of marrying someone from a good family.

The blessing parade sang and walked all the way to Lumian's house.

It was naturally Aurore who opened the door, and she also changed into more formal clothes - a light-colored stand-up collar dress with ruffles and blond hair.

Ava greeted her and sang the same song again:

"I am the elf ...... spring."

After listening with a smile, Aurore took a leaf and took out a small pottery jar and handed it to Ava:

"Thank you 'Spring Elf'."

Animal fat separated from the big jar? Lumian glanced at it and felt that his sister was too generous.

Except for a small vegetable field behind the house, there are no fields at all, so I don't have to worry about whether there is a good harvest or not.
