Chapter 75 Tracking (Monthly Pass)
When Lumian opened his eyes, his spirit had been restored and his body was no longer sore.
He suddenly turned over and sat up, walked to the table, and opened the curtains.
At this time, the sky was not yet bright, the red moon was tilting westward in the sky, and the stars were dotted, and not far away, on the elm tree, the agile and huge owl appeared again, looking down at Lumian.
Lumian was neither shocked nor angry, and showed a bright smile.
"You're here again." He greeted him warmly, but no matter his body movements, tone of voice, or facial expression, the target suddenly felt the urge to beat him.
The owl looked at him for a few seconds, spread its wings, and flew into the depths of darkness.
Almost at the same time, Aurore left his bedroom, twisted the handle, and entered Lumian's room.
"How is it?" Lumian quickly asked.
Aurore nodded:
"The 'blank paper' has already followed."
Her light blue eyes had already darkened, and inside were trees that were constantly receding and getting bigger.
She then took out a mercury-plated mirror, placed it on Lumian's table, and then used the light white powder to cast a spell that presented what she saw in a mirror.
Lumian successfully saw the figure of the owl, it was circling and flying at a relatively low altitude in the village of Kordu at night, circling around, as if trying to get rid of the possible tracking, but the "white paper" was a spirit creature, and the speed was quite fast, completely unaffected, always maintaining a certain distance.
After a minute or two, the owl circled around the village square.
It no longer hesitated and flew directly into the cemetery next to the church.
"Why are you here again?" Lumian couldn't help but sigh.
The last time the siblings peeped on Michelle. In the time of Galigu, the "lizard" that came out of the mouth of the priest of the dungeon hall finally arrived at the cemetery, going in and out of different graves!
"You can't often use the cemetery as a settlement or hiding place for villains in the story, and the reality is the same, right?" Lumian glanced sideways at his sister.
Aurore sneered:
"Do you know what it means to be inspired by reality?"
"It's ...... too," Lumian acknowledged a professional writer's creative explanation.
At this time, the owl flew above an ordinary grave.
Like most tombs in Intis, it is a large pit in the ground, a coffin is placed, then filled with soil, and finally one or two stone slabs are laid and a tombstone is erected at the back.
The above part is Lumian's imagination and speculation, but at least from the appearance, he can't see anything unusual about the tomb.
The owl lowered its height and landed on the two stone slabs that sealed the tomb.
With the help of the "blank paper" line of sight, Aurore and Lumian found some suspicious traces:
The corresponding tombstone is blank, there is nothing; The surface of the slate slabs, which should have been dirty and weedy, was clean, as if someone was often coming to clean it.
"There is something wrong with this grave." Aurore commented.
As soon as she finished speaking, the two stone slabs that sealed the tomb suddenly fell down.
No, not a drop, closer to opening the concept.
They opened inward like doors open, revealing a dark space and stone stairs leading deeper.
"Yo." Lumian was surprised and "praised" at the same time, "It's spacious enough!"
This was completely different from the ordinary tomb he imagined, more like a mausoleum, with a lot of tomb space.
"There is still a place like this in Kordu...... Aurore originally felt that she had lived in the elementary school for six years and knew everything about Kordu Village, but as a result, she had recently found that this place was becoming more and more unfamiliar and strange.
When the siblings were talking, the owl flew along the stairs to the depths of the "mausoleum".
The corresponding underground space is not exaggerated, and as soon as the "blank paper" followed the stairs, he saw a tomb.
The tomb was about the size of Lumian's kitchen, and there was a black coffin in the middle.
The coffin was not closed, and the lid was leaning against the side and resting on the ground.
The owl flapped its wings and flew over, landed on the edge of the coffin, and stood there.
"That dead wizard?" Lumian's spirit tensed.
Aurore said "hmm", asked the "white paper" to move a little closer in that direction, and looked inside the coffin from a distance.
Almost at the same time, Lumian noticed a figure standing faintly in the corner of the tomb.
He was about to remind his sister to see who it was, and the "blank paper" had already put his "eyes" into the open coffin.
With a bang, the mercury mirror in front of the two of them cracked like an explosion, and Aurore also let out a low scream of unbearable pain.
Lumian hurriedly turned his head sideways and looked at his sister, only to see that she had closed her eyes tightly, shedding blood-stained tears one after another, and her cheek muscles were tugging uncontrollably, as if they were about to crack open gaps.
Without waiting for the semi-illiterate occult to react, Aurore took out a short incense stick from his hidden pocket and fumbled to light it with a match.
The faint fragrance spreads, distant and light, making people feel calm both physically and mentally.
The abnormality on Aurore's face gradually subsided, and finally, she let out a long breath and wiped the blood and tears with the handkerchief she carried with her.
"Is everything okay?" Lumian asked with concern.
Aurore closed her eyes tightly and did not open them:
"The problem is not serious, I will make up for it later, and my eyes should recover, I am really grateful that the 'blank paper' is too fragile, sometimes, weaknesses are also an advantage!"
She was very pleased.
"Huh?" Lumian didn't understand.
Aurore laughed at herself:
"To put it simply, I saw something I shouldn't have seen, but the 'white paper' was very fragile, and I only saw a little, or even not much, and then I suffered severe trauma and retreated into the spirit world, and even the impact on me was much smaller.
The world of occultism is so dangerous...... Lumian truly realized what it means to "don't look at what you shouldn't see".
He waited for his sister's state to recover a little before asking:
"What did the 'white paper' see, and why did it cause so much harm?"
"I saw a silver-black light." Aurore didn't dare to recall, "As for the things that can cause harm just by seeing, there are too many things, maybe things that reveal divinity, maybe high-sequence mythical creature forms, maybe things with curses and malice......"
"Mythical creature forms?" Lumian had never heard of this term before.
Aurore explained casually:
"The essence of the Divine Path is to transform the extraordinary into the direction of the gods, and in Sequence 4, we can have our own mythical creature form, but it is not complete enough, and people below Sequence 4 will be harmed just by seeing this form, and may even lose control directly."
The saint is so powerful? They and the extraordinary under sequence 4 are like two kinds of creatures...... No wonder they can be called demigods in sequence 4...... Lumian instantly understood how ignorant he was before, and even felt that the sequence with the title of demigod was not fundamentally different from the extraordinary person below.
He turned to say:
"Auror, when the 'white paper' was close to the coffin, I seemed to see a figure in the corner of the tomb, but I don't know who it was, what it looked like, or what clothes it was wearing."
"Is there anyone else?" Aurore was a little surprised.
Lumian nodded:
"So, is the one in the coffin a dead wizard, or the one in the corner?"
"I think the one in the coffin is." Aurore closed his eyes and said deliberately, "The one in the corner is either his puppet or minion, or another extraordinary person, who controls the wizard's corpse."
Lumian said "Hmm":
"The problem of the wizard has not been completely solved, which may be the source of Kordu's gradual abnormality."
This gain made him both happy and troubled.
The good news is that the investigation has made great progress, but the trouble is that just seeing the wizard's body will cause harm, and there is a high probability that it will get out of control, so how can we go to the tomb to confirm further and start follow-up actions?
Aurore obviously thought of this as well:
"Don't go to the tomb for the time being, focus on the church basement first, where you may be able to get key clues that will help deal with the problem of the tomb."
"Okay." Lumian had decided to go to the three strangers after dawn to discuss exploring the underground of the church.
Hearing his answer, Aurore added:
"If I fully recover, I will go with you to the basement of the church."
Lumian hesitated for two seconds and agreed.
At times like this, we must gather all our strength to see hope!
Aurora, who was still closing her eyes, asked instead:
"Your ritual seems to have been successful, how do you feel?"
Lumian told his sister about the process of the ceremony and his own harvest, but did not mention the specific description of the existence, and finally said:
"I almost lost control when I received the gift, but fortunately, there were no abnormal changes in my body, which may be the reason why the sequence is low enough."
Aurore closed her eyes and smiled slightly:
"The dance that summons anomalous creatures around you and attaches one of them to your body is interesting.
"This reminds me of some legendary abilities in my hometown, 'God Strikes'!"
"Huh?" Lumian couldn't understand.
Aurore smiled:
"It is to partially possess demigod-level creatures and use their combat abilities."
"That would require a strong body, soul, and spirit, right?" Lumian speculated.
Aurore did not continue the topic, and ordered her brother:
"Help me back to the room, I want to take a break."
Lumian helped his sister up and asked casually as he walked to her bedroom:
"What I find strange about that ceremony is that I extracted a little power from the seal without the permission of the owner of the blue-black symbol. Impossible, how can there be such free time?"
Aurore thought for a moment and said:
"You told me that the description of your honorific name given by that mysterious lady is very vague and not so accurate, so as not to attract the gaze of the corresponding person.
"Is it possible that the owner of the blue-black symbol and the black thorn correspondence overlap in some authority? For example, you mentioned the word 'fate', and both of them may have some authority in the realm of destiny, so when you pronounce the vague name, part of it points not only to the one corresponding to the black thorn, but also to the owner of the blue-black symbol.
"Normally, this would have no effect due to incompleteness and impreciseness, but you happen to have corresponding symbols, powers, and breaths in the altar, so they react to being provoked, and the being discovers your actions, and you are guided by the mysterious lady, so it is easy to get permission.
"In this way, when you have finished reciting all the honorific names and pointed to the pollution in your body, there will be no obstacles to extracting a little power, and the 'back door' has been opened.
"Very clever ritual design...... At first glance, he is a master of stuck bugs."
"That's right." Lumian suddenly realized.
