Chapter 59 Arrangement (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass in April)
Aurore recalled the situation at that time and thought it should be what his brother said.
She sighed sincerely:
"Just knowing that He can bring such terrible pollution...... Shepherd Pierre. The hidden existence that Berry and the others worship is really terrifying, and many evil gods in ancient notes do not behave like this."
"Otherwise, how could we be trapped in the time loop?" Lumian was not surprised.
The more Aurore thought about it, the more she muttered:
"It won't be the twelfth night, and we need to face that hidden being and overturn it to break the cycle, right?
"And this requires you to collect materials in the cycle again and again, digest magic potions, and become a god......"
Seeing that her sister was getting more and more outrageous, even if it was something that a very daring guy like herself would not dare to think of, Lumian interrupted her thoughts:
"Stop!
"It shouldn't be to this extent."
Aurore said "hmm" and nodded slightly:
"Yes, we have at most one cycle, and it is obviously impossible to become a god in twenty days."
She immediately spread her hands:
"It's hopeless, just wait for death."
"......" Lumian is always able to come up with all kinds of excellent pranks, and at this time he can't keep up with his sister's ideas at all.
"Huh." Aurore exhaled, looked at his brother and said, "Okay, I'm done venting, continue."
"Huh?" Lumian's face was full of confusion.
It took him a few seconds to figure out what his sister meant by continuing:
"The sheep that the three men turned into seemed to have been sent back to Kordu as a sacrifice, no wonder they didn't wait until early May.
"Twelfth Night is actually the day of mass sacrifice to the hidden being?"
Aurore's eyes turned slightly and said:
"I originally guessed so, but what happened to the group of priests in this parish who received different degrees of gifts together before Lent? According to my understanding, this should be in exchange for sacrifices."
From the perspective of doing bad things, combined with the things that happened in the last cycle, Lumian boldly guessed:
"A small sacrifice, a big ceremony?
"At the end of the Lenten celebration, the priest of the parish, who has gained extraordinary power, has completely concealed his abnormality, and it is obvious that he is going to do something big!"
Aurore pondered for a while and said:
"The celebration of Lent may be part of the great ceremony.
"Before the grand ceremony, the priest finally made up his mind to dedicate his heart to the evil god, and with certain sacrifices, he received a large number of gifts and completely revealed his true face.
"It seems that from the beginning of the Lenten celebration, everyone in Cordu will be involved, and no one can escape."
The two siblings, look at me and I look at you, and they both think that the speculation just now is very close to the truth.
But the problem is, if the abnormality really starts from the Lenten celebration and completely explodes and lasts until the twelfth night, how can they wait until the final ceremony to find out the key to the cycle?
The people in the village, except for those who died and became sacrifices, would most likely be contaminated!
"I'm a sequence 7......" Aurore couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her face, "You only have sequence 9."
We are about to face such things!
Based on Lumian's description of the final battle of the Lenten celebration and his recent experience hunting the Black Mark monster, Aurore believes that he is certainly no match for the parish priest after receiving the gift, even the shepherd Pierre. Berry, she felt that she had to prepare in advance to fight.
At that time, Lumian was able to kill the mutated priest in one and two, and he didn't know what kind of shit luck he had.
And if you want to prevent the priests in the hall from gaining extraordinary power in advance, the twelfth night may not come, and the cycle will most likely be restarted in advance.
"Hell difficult! It's hard to hell!" Aurore patted the table in front of her a few times with a sad face.
Without waiting for Lumian to respond, she raised her hands and rubbed the blonde hair on her head, as if she was venting something.
After a set of actions, Aurore restrained his expression and calmly said to Lumian:
"Tomorrow morning, you go to those three foreigners, and you can properly reveal to them the abnormalities in the village, without hiding too much that we are extraordinary."
"This is dangerous......" Lumian replied subconsciously.
Aren't wild extraordinary people naturally guilty when they encounter officials?
Aurore exhaled slowly and said:
"In this situation now, I can't take care of that much.
"Except for that mysterious lady, the three of them are probably the most problem-free and trustworthy people in the village now, and each of them has strength that is not much worse or even stronger than mine.
"They are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, no one should dislike anyone, whether it is a wild extraordinary person or an official extraordinary person, they must unite.
"As for whether I will be hunted down by the authorities in the future, I will worry about it later, and now I will consider getting out of the loop."
Lumian had heard his sister say "grasshoppers tied to a rope" before, and he knew that it meant that everyone was in the same predicament and faced the same problems.
"Okay, I'll go find them tomorrow." He agreed.
Aurore said instead:
"I now suspect that there is another person behind the priest and shepherd Pierre, who is the beginning of everything and the source of pollution."
"Madame Puaris?" Lumian guessed, "Not only is she powerful, but she is also the lover of the priest of the parish, who can quietly control him and use him to influence others in the village."
"But she has nothing to do with Pierre, the shepherd." Aurore looked at his brother, frowned and thought, "Judging from what happened to those three sheep, last October, when Pierre and Nior moved to the plains, they should have extraordinary abilities, at least mastering the corresponding knowledge, because they never came back halfway and had no way to obtain it.
"This means that the abnormality in the village can be traced back to at least July and August last year, uh, have you noticed any problems?"
Lumian shook his head slowly:
"No."
He originally thought he was very familiar with Kordu Village, but now he realized that the undercurrent had existed for more than half a year, which made him feel very unfamiliar here, making him fear from the bottom of his heart.
What is the problem? Lumian only felt that there were layers of fog in front of him, eliminating layer after layer, and he could never see the true face of things.
Aurore continued:
"It could also be the owl.
"The legendary dead wizard may not really be dead, he is still hiding somewhere in the village, or someone we see often.
"He may have found out that I am also a 'wizard', so he deliberately covered up that legend and did not let me know, and there are no restrictions on this aspect for ordinary people like you."
Speaking of this, Aurore ordered in a deep voice:
"Next time that owl comes to see you again, you will notify me as soon as possible, and I will let the 'white paper' follow it and see where it will fly."
Lumian said "hmm", indicating that he was also waiting for the owl to come back.
This time I don't pluck your hair!" He scolded hatefully in his heart.
Aurore thought for a moment and made a third arrangement:
"Tomorrow afternoon, I will ask Mrs. Puaris to come to the house as a guest, at that time, the administrator is still working, and only the butler and servants are left in the castle, you take the opportunity to sneak in and see if you can find some clues, well, if you can persuade those three foreigners in the morning, you can ask them for help in this operation."
When Mrs. Pualis was at home, she didn't dare to put a "blank sheet of paper" over, and when Mrs. Pualis was by her side, she couldn't be distracted and could only rely on her brother.
Lumian nodded first, and then suggested:
"It's best not to be alone with Madame Puaris, I'm afraid she will take advantage of you.
"Invite Na Alaza and the others together in the form of afternoon tea?"
The more people, the higher the safety factor.
"Yes." Aurore felt that this was a better choice.
She then said half-concernedly, half-jokingly:
"You have to be careful after infiltrating the castle, I don't want to be an aunt now."
Lumian didn't dare to fight back, but said with his eyes, "I'm more worried about you because Madame Pualis is on your side."
During dinner, Aurore released a "blank sheet" and asked it to monitor the sheepfold, and found that the three sheep had licked the blood on their faces by themselves, not letting the shepherd Pierre. Berry discovered something unusual.
From then until he fell asleep, Lumian received occult education again and mastered a number of Hermitic vocabulary, including "I", "Name", "Calling", "Need", "Light", "Sun", etc.
"Light" is the mantra that opens the "upright brooch", and there are three pronunciations.
…………
In the room filled with a faint gray mist, Lumian woke up.
He walked to the window and looked again at the dark red "mountain" and the circles of building ruins around it.
I don't know what secrets are hidden here...... Lumian muttered.
Looking at it, he suddenly had an idea:
There were too many dangerous areas in that ruin that he couldn't or didn't dare to approach now, such as the place where the three-faced monster wandered, but if he could summon a "white paper" spirit-like creature, sign a contract with it, and let it help infiltrate and observe, he should be able to gain more information.
- His vision, smell, and hearing all involve the improvement of extraordinary properties, which are theoretically a type of supernatural power, and can be carried by "white paper" to carry one of them.
While thinking, Lumian said to himself silently:
"The question now is, can spirit creatures be summoned in the dream ruins......
"If not, after the reality summons and signs the contract, can you bring it to the dream with the help of the connection between each other......
"What is the impact of adding a contract creature on the cycle, and can the corresponding spirit world be newly added? If not, when the summoning time comes, the contract creature will return, and the cycle will restart ......."
The more Lumian thought about it, the bigger his head became, and he was in deep awe of the occult, hoping to master a small amount of language enough to complete a summoning ritual as soon as possible.
Without further delay, he took the shotgun, took the few buckshot he had left, and the sharp axe, left his home, walked through the wilderness, and entered the ruins again.
