Chapter 85 Dream Divination (Third Thank You to all the Silver Alliance who rewarded me before)
In the half-grounded two-story building, Lumian and Aurore were eating a late lunch in silence.
The mutton, which should have been tender, seemed to have no taste in their mouths.
Barely full, Lumian was about to pack up the tableware when he suddenly heard a clanging sound from far to near.
"Liya and the others?" He turned his body and set his sights on the door.
Aurore also noticed, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and looked up at the gate.
Not long after, the doorbell of their house rang.
Lumian didn't hesitate, got up and left his seat, walked to the door, and looked at the visitors outside through the cat's eyes.
It was indeed Leah and the three foreigners.
Unlike when they parted before, Valentine finally changed his clothes - he ignited himself when he was affected by the aura of the "sufferer", and although his physical injuries were healed by Madame Puaris, the burnt clothes could not be restored.
Lumian opened the door and smiled enthusiastically:
"My cabbages, do you miss me so quickly?
"Yo, can you change clothes?"
Valentine no longer wears a white vest with a blue tweed jacket, but a yellow vest with a black formal dress, and the pants are still dark; The abdomen and wrists of Liya's white cashmere skirt each have white cloth flowers, one large and two small, covering the traces of damage, and the level of sewing is quite good; As for Ryan, Lumian couldn't see that he had changed his clothes, nor could he find any traces of his previous injuries, and suspected that this guy had prepared at least two sets of the same clothes.
"We have gained a certain amount of things from those two things." Ryan replied calmly, signaling with his eyes to enter.
Lumian turned around to ask his sister for advice, opened the door completely, and invited three official investigators in.
This was the first time Ryan and the others met Aurore, and they greeted each other politely.
"The constellation is about to change, and the villagers will usher in good luck. After sitting down at the dining table, Ryan didn't say anything and went straight to the point, "But I don't think it's that simple, this technique and rhetoric are very similar to the style of a village witch, and the priest in this parish should not be able to think of it normally."
A village witch refers to the kind of person who predicts good and bad fortune part-time in a small town or village.
Aurore nodded thoughtfully:
"Is it influenced by that dead wizard?
"Well, this is a trick to lure the villagers to secretly worship the evil god."
"The villagers believe it so simply?" Valentine was very annoyed.
He looked like a person from Koldu Village with such a silly expression.
It is not because believing in the "eternal sun" cannot get them out of poverty, and they are oppressed by the priests and administrators of the parish from time to time...... Aurore didn't say this complaint, she was afraid that Valentine would look for her desperately.
She could even imagine that when some villagers were bewitched and began to worship the evil gods, they would more or less get some benefits from the priests and their followers, for example, the dedication to the "Eternal Sun" could be reduced by half, for example, not only would they no longer be given to Pons. Bene bullies, and can also use the name of this villain to scare the annoying neighbors, in short, they will really feel that their "luck" has changed, their lives have hope, and they will become more religious.
Of course, this did not make Aurore feel that those villagers did the right thing, after all, the government and the church mainly wanted money, and the cult wanted life.
No one answered Valentine's question, only Lumian "kindly" suggested:
"This requires you to ask them in person and do an in-depth investigation of 'why faith changes so easily.'
"If you really find the answer because of this, I think the Pope will appreciate you."
The Apostolic See is a title for the Pope of the "Eternal Sun" Church, and many church leaders can also be called that.
Valentine was silent, vaguely moved.
Aurore looked at Lane and changed the topic:
"Sybil's husband, Jean. Mori's whereabouts have also been found?"
Ryan glanced sideways at Leah and motioned for her to speak.
Liya nodded and said:
"We dived into Jean. Mori took away an item that belonged to him.
"With this item, I did a dream divination."
Dream Divination ...... Aurore nodded slightly, not surprised at all.
When Lumian recounted the exploration of the castle yesterday, she had already guessed their respective paths and approximate sequences based on the performance of the three official investigators:
Obviously, Leah belongs to the more common "soothsayer" path in Intis, and is not a "soothsayer" in sequence 9, a "clown" in sequence 8, but at least a "magician" in sequence 7.
Aurore wasn't sure if Leah had reached Sequence 6, because she didn't know much about the next steps of this path.
Valentine belongs to the "Sun", the main path mastered by the "Eternal Sun" Church, similarly, he definitely not only has sequence 9 "Singer" and sequence 8 "Light Praker", Aurore inferred from "summoning holy light", "making holy water", "solar ring", etc. that he is the "Sun Priest" of sequence 7, and should not have reached sequence 6 "notary", and did not show corresponding abilities.
Ryan is not a common type in Intis, and he is supposed to be a "warrior".
This path is mainly controlled by the "God of War" Church of the Fussak Empire in the north, but in the past five or six years, there have been many extraordinary people and extraordinary creatures in the "warrior" path in various countries.
In the curly baboon research group, several members have either actively or passively chosen this path.
As far as Aurore knows, this is also called the "giant" path, sequence 9 is "warrior", sequence 8 is "fighter", sequence 7 is "weapon master", sequence 6 is a rank that produces qualitative changes relative to the front, called "Dawn Knight", they have the same power as giants, can create "dawn" in a certain area around them, eliminate hallucinations and negative and evil energy.
They can also condense a full-body armor called "Dawn" on their body surface and their own weapons, the most powerful of which is the "Sword of Dawn", a two-handed greatsword, and with the "Sword of Dawn", they can launch the most powerful attack in this sequence - "Storm of Light", which can destroy the human body, destroy vengeful souls, and even traumatize evil spirits.
Combined with Ryan's performance, Aurore believes that he is the "Knight of Dawn" in Sequence 6, but he should not have become a "Guardian" in Sequence 5 yet.
Aurore originally felt that these three official investigators were no worse than herself, but now she found that she was really better than the other, and if she wasn't prepared, she couldn't win a single one.
You know, in the official division, Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 are considered low sequences, but they have some special abilities than ordinary people, but the flaws are also obvious, Sequence 7 to Sequence 5 are medium sequences, and they begin to have power beyond the ordinary.
According to some members of the Curly Baboon Research Society lurking in the official organization, dealing with ordinary extraordinary events is often a medium sequence with two low sequences to form a three-person team, start the first wave of investigation, and then invest higher-end forces depending on the situation.
But even such a joint investigation team doesn't seem to be enough in Kordu Village.
Aurore had already shared this information with Lumian, and at this time, both siblings quietly listened to Liya continue to tell.
"In the dream divination, I saw the shepherd Pierre. Berry, he took a few nails wrapped around his hair and stuffed them into the haystack." Lia described the picture she saw in the most concise words.
Haystack ...... Nails and hair strands...... Lumian instantly recalled his discovery under the guidance of the three sheep.
He also found some nails wrapped around his hair in the haystack in Berry's sheepfold.
He frowned and said:
"That belongs to Jean. Maury's nails and hair?
"He was killed by the shepherd Pierre. Berry killed him, right at Berry's house?"
Aurore nodded in response:
"Originally, this custom of hiding nails and hair outside the house so as not to affect the family constellation and luck was limited to family members with a bad reputation or suicide, as well as those who were murdered by relatives, but because of Jean. Maury was killed in a shepherd's house, so Pierre. Berry still carefully cut off the other person's nails, took some hair, and hid it in the haystack outside the house?"
"No wonder there was a ...... before. I'm afraid it's the previous victim, how many people did they secretly kill?" Lumian suddenly sneered, "It's all like this, and you still think about not affecting your own constellation and luck?"
"Foolish!" Valentine scolded angrily.
He and Ryan and Leah had previously shared with Lumian that they knew about the three sheep, the haystack, and the corresponding folk customs.
After discussing for a while, it was decided not to make any other attempts for the time being, and after observing the reactions of the priests in the parish, Lia and the others bid farewell to Lumian and Aurore and returned to the old tavern.
The siblings did not mention the speculation at noon, for fear that it would affect the will of the official investigators to break the cycle from within, after all, they may only be affected and hope to get out with the help of external forces.
After tidying up the table and helping to wash the dishes, Lumian returned to his room and lay down on the bed.
With a complex mood and many thoughts, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and it was only by doing preliminary meditation that he slowly calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.
…………
In the room filled with a faint gray mist, Lumian opened his eyes and sat up.
He looked down at his chest, his eyes seemed to penetrate the cotton off-white shirt and the barrier of flesh and blood, and saw the black thorn symbol and blue-black pattern.
Is this the source and cause of the cycle? Lumian muttered to himself silently.
The black thorn symbol is the root of the problem, and the blue-black pattern brings the blessing of that great being, leaving Kordu Village with room for salvation.
And all this goes back almost six years.
Lumian remembers very clearly that at that time, he was still wandering, barely surviving by being easily despised and ruthless beyond his own age.
Then, one day, he met the dying old man.
It may be that he just had a little accumulation and his whole body floated, or it could be that the old man made him think of his only relative, his grandfather who raised him until he was in his early teens but unfortunately passed away.
Although he failed to save the old man's life in the end, Lumian still sent him to the crematorium and took him to a free cemetery for burial.
The blue-black symbol was what he found on the old man's corpse in the process, and since then, he has often dreamed, dreaming of a large gray mist.
His luck is getting worse and worse, and he begins to can't find enough food, but fortunately, it doesn't take long for him to meet Auror.
ps: The third watch is to thank everyone who rewarded me before, and for asking for a monthly pass~ Well, there is the first update tomorrow at 0:50.
