Lumian thought for a moment and said:
"Is body, mind, and spirit drawn near to the giver because the power of the gift is imprinted accordingly?"
He was inferring from the spiritual legacy of the original Creator and the previous part of the owner of the extraordinary characteristics.
Although it is a gift of pure power and no characteristics, it should also be stained with the color of the owner.
The lady held the tarot card and nodded approvingly:
"Your logic skills are pretty good.
"You should thank Aurore for giving you enough basic education."
This doesn't require your reminder...... Lumian muttered in his heart.
The woman further said:
"Even if the giver himself does not want to influence the giver, it is difficult to avoid the result of the other person approaching him physically, mentally, and spiritually, because if the power of the giver does not contain the will of the giver, it will be difficult for the giver to control it and will soon be lost.
"Therefore, the gifts of the righteous gods in this regard are basically temporary and controlled to a certain extent."
The evil gods don't care what the recipient will become in the end? Lumian nodded thoughtfully and asked curiously:
"Extraordinary, I mean, can people with extraordinary characteristics still receive gifts? Will the two conflict and cause loss of control?"
The lady smiled and glanced at Lumian, shook her head and said,
"There will be some conflict, but not much.
"Think about it, the power bestowed will transform your body towards the Giver, and your body, which originally existed to adapt to its own extraordinary characteristics, will surely conflict with the extraordinary traits until a new balance is found.
"Because this kind of conflict does not involve the mind and spirit, it will not let you lose control under normal circumstances, unless your spirit is close to collapse during that time.
"The only problem is that you may have to learn to calm down and watch yourself grow a third eye, a fourth hand.
"Of course, the premise is that the power given to you exists for a long time, and the corresponding person is also very high, otherwise the little change in the body can be negligible."
Lumian said "Hmm":
"What if it is a gift from itself or from an adjacent way?"
The lady nodded:
"It really doesn't lead to conflict."
She then smiled:
"But that doesn't mean there won't be physical changes."
What does this mean? Lumian was about to ask again, but the lady said with a smile:
"I thought that after knowing the people in the ring, you would be eager to ask about the time loop, but you are paying attention to this knowledge that you don't know if it will come in handy.
"This is not like you!"
Lumian showed a self-deprecating smile:
"I was going to ask you if there was anything you could do to help us break this cycle of time, but I remembered some of what you had said:
"You said that the price you pay for helping to solve the corresponding problem is that the entire Kordu Village will be destroyed, and everyone will die.
"Before, I actually couldn't understand it, but now I can probably guess the reason.
"If you are not a person in the ring, if you want to break the cycle here, the only way to destroy it is to destroy it directly?"
The lady nodded with satisfaction:
"That's true."
"Then why didn't you make it clear before?" Lumian couldn't help but ask.
This is not something that will lead to destruction if you say it!
Or is this lady used to saying half-hidden-half expressions?
The lady immediately laughed:
"I told you at that time that the whole village was stuck in a time loop, would you believe it?"
Lumian pondered for a while and said:
"No, ......."
Without "personal experience", who would believe this absurd and bizarre statement that it resembles a story?
"So." The lady smiled, "Why should I explain it clearly? In that case, I have to spend a lot of time explaining it to you."
"......" Lumian was silent.
He took advantage of the situation to consult:
"Do you know what the key is to break this cycle?
"In which direction should I work hard?"
The lady shook her head again:
"Here, divination is very dangerous."
"Huh?" Lumian didn't understand for a while.
The woman had no choice but to add:
"If I knew where the key was, I would definitely tell you that if I solve it early, I can end this journey sooner."
She then sighed:
"When will I be able to travel without a job......"
Work? Lumian couldn't see the "revelation" of this mysterious lady, so he had to ask tentatively:
"Is it true that as long as we don't kill the priest in the parish, time will not start to cycle?"
"No." The lady gave an accurate answer, "There are many triggers in the loop, including the time to Twelfth Night, and the rest, you can figure it out yourself."
Twelfth Night...... There is still a lot of time to investigate...... Lumian thought for a moment and said:
"Because I stimulated the special characteristics of my body, I can maintain memories and extraordinary characteristics every time I cycle thereafter?"
Seeing the lady nodding, he asked further:
"If that's the case, then as long as I can keep circulating and investigating under the premise of ensuring that I am alive, sooner or later I will find the key to ending all this......"
This is an application of the "poor method" mentioned by Aurore.
"Theoretically, that's right." The woman's eyes reappeared with an indistinguishable emotion that confused Lumian, "But you should also have noticed that only Kordu Village and the surrounding area are circulating, and nowhere else, that is to say, time in the outside world is passing normally, and the date is completely inconsistent with Kordu Village.
"The three investigators would send a telegram outside every once in a while, describing themselves and the state of the village, and once they mentioned the date, the Intes officials could detect the anomaly here.
"Even if the investigators don't have time to send a telegram or mention the corresponding date for each cycle, over time, the officials will definitely find problems.
Lumian was silent for a while before he said:
"It should be destroyed directly like your alternative."
"This can effectively prevent the spread of abnormalities and affect others." The lady said with great emotion, "If you have the opportunity to go to Sunia Sea in the future, you can inquire about Banxi Port, which was directly destroyed by the Storm Church because of some kind of pollution, and no one escaped."
This statement strengthened Lumian's determination to find the key point of the cycle on his own.
He laughed at himself again:
"It seems that there is not much time left for me."
At most, there will be three or four more cycles, and each cycle cannot last until the twelfth night.
The lady stood up and said peacefully:
"At least you still have a chance to save, some people don't even have a chance."
…………
After leaving the old tavern, Lumian stood on the road, looking at the few pedestrians and houses around him, only to feel that everything was normal in Cordu Village, everyone had joy, anger, desire, and feelings, no different from people in other places.
But this village, which seems to coexist with peace and noise, peace and noise, hides unimaginable horror, and everyone here is stuck in a cycle of time, constantly living the same days.
In addition to the parish priest Guillaume. Bennet, Shepherd Pierre. Berry, Pons. Bennet, Ava. Liziye, these few people, Lumian still can't determine who is abnormal and who is innocent for the time being.
Even Raymond. Clegg, a guy who is usually stupid and has no heart, can't be 100% sure that the other party has no problem at all.
At the end of Lent, most of the young people's abnormal behavior may have been influenced by the priest's extraordinary power on the spot, rather than having a problem before.
For a while, Lumian had the feeling that Koldu Village was a primeval forest, full of dangers, and he couldn't tell who was the prey and who was the hunter.
Caution and patience are the first elements to survive in this environment, and ability, courage, wisdom and experience must all be in the back row.
This is both similar and obviously different from wandering life.
As these thoughts emerged, Lumian inexplicably felt that the "hunter" magic potion showed signs of digestion.
"This is the first step of 'pretending'?
"It's pretty fast, I thought it would take a month or two to get started......"
Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly became excited:
Can you digest the "hunter" magic potion in one or two cycles?
At that time, with the hunt of the Dream Ruins, you may soon become the "provocateur" of Sequence 8, gain more power, and increase the probability of success in solving the time loop problem.
Lumian thought as he moved forward, and soon came to the village square.
His current plan is to "chat" with the priest of the parish and test him to see if he can find some abnormalities and get some clues.
At that moment, he saw a figure walking towards the church.
The figure was wearing a dark brown robe with a hood, a rope tied around his waist, and a pair of new soft leather shoes under his feet, which was the shepherd Pierre. Berry.
He...... Lumian quickly approached and asked deliberately:
"Pierre, why are you back?"
At this time, Pierre. Berry's black hair was still greasy and curly, and the beard on his face had not been shaved for a long time.
Hearing Lumian's question, he replied quite happily:
"Isn't Lent coming? I haven't participated in several years, and I can't miss it this year......
His blue eyes were filled with a gentle smile, very different from the shepherd who had left a deep impression on Lumian and even shadowed him.
Uh, if you change the place and ask a different person, the answer will be different from the last cycle...... After listening carefully, Lumian looked down at Pierre's new shoes, and said with a smile:
"Got rich?"
"No, I can only say that the employer is very good this time and has shared a lot of things with me." Pierre was very happy, "Please drink in the evening."
"Okay." Lumian agreed, pointed to the church, "Are you going to pray?"
"Yes, I haven't prayed to God in church for a long time." Pierre sighed.
This sentence was originally nothing, but now Lumian felt that something was wrong the more he listened.
The shepherds are not completely far away from human towns, there are many villages around the plain grasslands, and the alpine pastures are desolate, but the shepherds will go down the mountain every once in a while to replenish something, how can they not find a church?
Of course, if Pierre. Berry went to Fenneport or Lemberg this time, and he really couldn't find the church of the "Eternal Sun", but Lumian had a preconceived notion and felt that Pierre. There is a problem with every word Berry says.
Pierre. Berry asked instead:
"You go to church too?"
"No." Lumian shook his head in denial, "I thought there would be someone chatting in the square, but no one knew it came."
He then waved his hand:
"I'll go home first."
"See you in the evening." Pierre. Berry waved his hand.
After watching the shepherd walk towards the church, Lumian returned to the village.
He changed his mind to chat with the parish priest, and the next destination was:
Shepherd Pierre. Berry's home!
