Chapter 43 Mrs. Night
Lumian was also shocked by the reaction of the carriage pulled by the "devil" and the undead, forgetting to struggle for a while, and was pushed by the invisible giant palm for more than ten seconds before stopping.
Although the carriage was getting farther and farther away, he still saw the appearance of the woman in the car clearly with his eagle-like vision.
Her long brown hair was pulled up high, her brown eyes were beautiful and bright, her light eyebrows were slightly sparse, she was wearing a fresh green dress, and she wore a laurel crown made of flowers, her temperament was elegant and majestic.
Mrs. Puaris! Lumian's first reaction was that the lady in the car was the wife of the administrator and the mistress of the parish priest.
But if you look closely, he feels that there is a clear difference between the two sides, not only the temperament is very different, but even the appearance is also a certain difference:
The lady in the car had softer and more mature features.
If Lumian were to be metaphorical, he would prefer to refer to the lady in the car as Madame Puaris's half-sister, who was seven or eight years older.
At this time, the lady was sitting in an open carriage pulled by the "devil", surrounded by countless undead and death knights, running towards the distant mountains and forests, as if she was doing some kind of wonderful parade.
Aurore withdrew her gaze and ran quickly towards Lumian, shouting as she ran:
"Take the opportunity to get out of here!"
Lumian came back to his senses and waited until his sister caught up before taking a big step and strode to the nearest edge of the wilderness.
It didn't take long for the two of them to have a feeling of passing through an illusory curtain or a thick layer of water at the same time.
The scene they saw in front of them changed:
The wilderness dissipated like foam, and the clear river, the fresh grass on both sides, and the green trees came into their eyes at the same time.
For Lumian and Aurore, the scene was so familiar that they made a judgment without recognizing it:
They are still around the village of Kordu!
This is Ava. Where Lizier often herds geese!
It's back...... Lumian was neither disappointed nor surprised, but looked around with a "sure sure happened" mentality.
Aurore took a breath and said:
"Whether Mrs. Pualis deliberately or by mistake, we cannot return to the village now.
"Continue to Liege!"
Lumian immediately proposed:
"Then let's go to the nearest grassland, where there is a dangerous path to go down the mountain, with our ability, there will definitely be no problem."
"Okay." Aurore turned her body and ran with all her might.
She borrowed a pony from Madame Pualis from time to time to ride, and she was no stranger to the plateau meadows around the village of Kordui.
Seeing this, Lumian followed his sister closely.
He was both happy and afraid of what happened just now.
He had no idea that Mrs. Pualis would be so powerful that she could be followed by so many undead, "devils" and death knights.
Of course, it may not be Mrs. Puaris.
As he ran, Aurore's speed slowed down, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and his guttural sound became more and more obvious.
"What's wrong?" Lumian is still very physically strong.
This is one of the improvements brought by "Hunter".
Aurore simply stopped and gasped:
"I'm too tired, it took me a lot of energy to cast spells before."
Lumian said without hesitation:
"Then I'll carry you, I'm not tired yet."
The matter was critical, time was tight, and Aurore was not pretentious, nodded, walked behind Lumian who was squatting, and lay down.
Lumian first took off the brooch in front of him and gave it to his sister, then straightened up and ran again.
"Is this a magical item?" He still had the energy to ask questions.
Aurore was stunned for a moment, and laughed:
"It seems that you know a lot.
"It's really a magical item, I call it a 'righteous brooch', it can create divine sunlight or help me ignite materials to help me use a secret spell against ghosts, but wearing it for too long will make people fanatical, and if you wear it, you will lose some thoughts, you know, immoral methods in combat may be more effective, and this is limited by it."
Aurore paused and asked in a deep voice:
"Where did you get your extraordinary traits?"
Lumian replied intermittently as he ran:
"Didn't that scepter card allow me to stay awake in my dream?"
"What scepter card?" Aurore looked puzzled.
Oh, this is something from the last cycle...... Lumian reorganized the following language:
"I was in the old tavern, and I met a mysterious lady, who gave me a scepter card.
"Relying on that card, I became awake in my dream and entered a wonderful space.
"There, I encountered some, monsters, and got the 'Hunter' extraordinary trait."
"'Hunter'......" Aurore was familiar with this common sequence in Intis.
While talking to herself, she suddenly laughed lowly, not knowing what she was thinking.
What are you laughing at...... Lumian was inexplicable.
Aurore asked again.
"Who gave that formula? That mysterious lady?"
"Hmm." Lumian nodded as he ran.
Aurore sighed and said:
"My stupid brother also has his own secret...... I can't confirm whether what you said is true or false, so let's just say it."
Lumian couldn't bear to disappoint his sister, and quickly changed the subject:
"In the carriage just now, is that person Mrs. Puaris?"
"It's very similar and not very similar." Aurore said contradictory words.
She thought for a few seconds and said:
"Since you are already an extraordinary person, let me tell you directly, my companion, uh, it was those pen pals who mentioned something.
"They say that in recent years, in the southern part of Rune, the southern part of Intis, and the kingdom of Fenerport, there have been many strange phenomena similar to the one just now, and there are also women riding in a carriage pulled by a creature suspected of the devil parading through the wilderness and mountains, and there are also many undead following the carriage all over the mountains, and some extraordinary people who have mastered the corresponding secret techniques will also take the opportunity to let their spirits leave their bodies and follow the carriage for a period of time, which seems to allow them to have some kind of wonderful experience and gain a certain knowledge of the occult.
"One of my companions obtained the notes of one of the extraordinaires, which mentioned that the lady was called 'Lady of the Night', and the owner of the notes obtained a secret medicine from his experience following the carriage parade to make an invisibility potion from the corpse of a baby.
"According to the investigation, the women in similar phenomena in different places are different, but they all happened late at night."
Lumian was stunned:
"But now, it's daytime."
Could it be that the anomaly in Kordu Village brought about the change?
"So I'm not sure." Aurore recalled, "Maybe sending Naroka to the 'other world' made a difference, maybe that wilderness is the 'other world', where the 'Night Ladies' roam during the day and appear in human society at night. Well, combined with the fact that the lady looks a lot like Puaris, I tend to make the previous guess."
Lumian had no knowledge of the occult in this area, but intuitively believed that his sister's suspicions were correct.
He ran a distance in silence for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Why do you want to sacrifice yourself to save me? I hope you will be more selfish."
"I'm selfish." Aurore smiled, "At that time, I considered leaving you behind and escaping, and then I would take revenge for you when I became more powerful, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that even if I gave you the 'Integrity Brooch' and taught you how to use it, you couldn't help me attract most of the undead and give me a chance to escape.
"Choosing between two people dying together and at least you can live, the answer doesn't need me to say, right?"
Making such a choice is not as easy as you say now...... Lumian is intellectually acceptable, but emotionally not.
He said sullenly:
"It's better to die together."
"If you die, who will avenge me, who will resurrect me? In the world of occultism, everything is possible!" Aurore taught his brother a lesson, "That's why I will deliberately say some sensational lines in the end, only in this way can you always remember and not forget to try to revive me."
Yes...... Lumian gradually agreed with his sister's choice.
After running for a while, the nearest plateau grassland could already be seen, and Lumian, who was carrying Aurore on his back, clearly felt tired.
He didn't stop to rest, mustered up his courage, and rushed to the hillside with green grass in one breath.
There are several livestock pens and shacks, the former surrounded by stones and branches, the ground is compacted earth and flattened manure, and at one end there is a long and narrow exit for only one sheep to pass through, the latter resembling a primitive tent:
The lower part of the grille is buried in the soil, and the upper end supports the wooden frame, and the wooden frame is covered with grass and mud.
This is where the shepherds lived, and the conditions were very difficult.
Lumian no longer carried Aurore on his back and led her all the way to the other side of the hillside.
That dangerous path is hidden below.
Looking at the road that requires jumping seven or eight meters of cliff to reach, Aurore said to Lumian:
"Although you can climb now, don't waste time, I'll take you directly down."
"Okay." Lumian wanted to see what kind of changes would happen if he left Cordu Village.
Aurore grabbed Lumian's arm with one hand and spilled silver dust with the other.
The two people floated up at the same time and flew slowly towards the bottom of the cliff.
In mid-air, Lumian's head suddenly hurt, as if he had been hit hard.
Aurore had a similar reaction.
Lumian's eyes quickly darkened, and he felt that everything was falling apart.
…………
After brushing the floor, Lumian sat up and saw the familiar wooden table, chairs, bookshelves and wardrobes.
Are you back to the beginning...... He thoughtfully turned over and got out of bed, went to the first floor, and unsurprisingly found Aurore wearing the light blue dress, preparing dinner.
"Aurore, what is today?" Lumian asked tentatively.
Aurore glared at him:
"Call sister!
"Are you sleeping stupidly? Today is the 29th."
