Chapter 571 "Ancestor" pattern
Lumian looked sideways in the direction of the dock, his body suddenly thinned, and he melted into the shadow created by the moonlight's inability to shine.
He walked along the darkness everywhere, bypassing the guards at the door, and silently entered the building with a religious atmosphere.
As soon as he passed through the foyer, he paused.
He saw that in the depths of the dark "tulle", there were one after another short men with abnormally large heads, bulging eyes, and wrinkled skin like an old man in his seventies or eighties, and a height of just over a meter.
That's Juan. The "little devil" in the mouths of Oro and others, a kind of sea family.
At this time, these "little devils" are using their ability to sneak into the shadows, patrolling every dark place in the "Governor of the Sea" mansion in groups of three or five, preventing anyone from mixing in.
Lumian has dealt with them and knows that these "little devils" are not very powerful, in addition to being able to blend into shadows, they can use shadows to create illusions, and he can easily eliminate a team.
But no matter how easy it was, he couldn't guarantee that when dealing with one of the "little devils", he wouldn't make any movement and wouldn't be noticed by other creatures in the building.
Lumian concentrated and looked at the area not covered by shadows, and found that in the crimson moonlight, there were many figures vaguely roaming in the void, sometimes appearing and sometimes hiding.
It was a dark gray armor-like fish.
Their eyes are also bulging, like flesh balls embedded at both ends of their bodies, and there are "thin lines" like starlight condensation hidden in the gaps between the armored scales.
These strange fish roamed in mid-air, distributed in different areas, and from time to time they spat out a bubble containing invisible storms and spikes-like cracks in their mouths.
A large number of bubbles exploded, and countless "spikes" swept around in an invisible storm, laying a dangerous trap for the "guests" who arrived by "teleportation".
At the junction of the hall and different aisles, the guards of the three-person team walked back and forth without making the slightest sound, their expressions were the same, they didn't look strange, but Lumian just blinked his eyes and saw black insects covered with slender bristles coming out of the back of their necks and the edges of their mouths.
After checking the surroundings, the battings quickly retracted into the bodies of the guards.
The various sea creature statues on the walls seem to come to life, and they scan various areas with self-awareness.
"Sure enough, with Juan. As Oro said, there are a large number of different sea families here, and it is indeed very difficult to infiltrate silently." Lumian muttered to himself in his heart, he didn't rush forward, he stayed in the foyer area, patiently waiting for the opportunity.
In less than two minutes, there was a loud rumbling sound from the dock location.
The crimson fire instantly rolled up and rushed into mid-air, illuminating every nearby window and making them tremble slightly.
Whether it was the "little devil" patrolling in the shadows, the "armored monster fish" affecting the surrounding void, the Batins black bug controlling the guards, and the special creatures hidden in the statue's eyes, they all instinctively turned their attention to the glass window near the dock side at this time.
Lumian moved.
The movement just now was created by him with a time-lapse explosion!
He seized the opportunity to swim past the shadows beside the "little devils" and around the area patrolled by the "armored monsters".
Immediately afterwards, before other Hai families noticed, he was based on Juan. The information given by Oro locked the innermost room in the hall.
The black mark on his right shoulder emitted a ghostly light, and the whole person flashed directly to the door of the target room, and then quickly shadowed and got inside through the crack in the door.
What caught Lumian's eye were the many patterns and symbols engraved on the floor, ceiling, and walls, just like Juan. An enlarged version of Oro's hand-painted sacrificial ring pattern.
Other than that, nothing else.
"During the vigil ceremony, certain types of sea relatives will enter here, shrink the patterns up and down, left and right, front and back and back and ash them on the ring embryo, and immerse them in special energy?" Lumian quickly looked around, leaving the shadows, inspiring a black mark on his chest.
There were almost invisible waves of water on the surface of the surrounding walls, but they quickly subsided.
"Fictional bottle"!
Lumian "puts" the two connected rooms into the "imaginary bottle", and the entry condition is "ordinary humans".
Then, he hid by the door, the mouth of the "imaginary bottle", and deliberately made heavy footsteps.
Almost at the same time, a certain sea family member sensed the movement in this place.
They thought of the explosion of the dock and the sky-high fire, and instantly understood that they and the other group had just fallen into someone else's conspiracy and were distracted!
They immediately beckoned companions such as "Armored Monster Fish", "Battings Black Worm", and "Little Devil", allowing them to immediately enter the ring ritual to investigate possible infiltration enemies.
These Hai family members opened the door and tried to run in in various ways, but they all inexplicably returned to the same place and returned to the hall.
The "Armored Monsters" quickly realized the nature of the problem and began to spit bubbles containing invisible storms into the entrance and exit of the "imaginary bottle".
As early as when they rushed over and entered the room with all their minds, Lumian had turned into a shadow creature, sticking to the gap at the bottom of the wooden door, quietly leaving the "imaginary bottle" and returning to the hall.
What he did just now was still attracting the attention of the sea family and creating opportunities for himself to change position!
Of course, you have to use a good strategy a few times!
And it is difficult for the other party to think that they will encounter the same plan in a short period of time, and they will instinctively think that the enemy probably has other arrangements.
Of course, by the third time, they would be overly wary of similar schemes, looking at everything as if they were diverting their attention, and at that time, Lumian would be able to act in the opposite way.
While the attention of these sea relatives was attracted to the "imaginary bottle", Lumian unhurriedly avoided the area where the little devils gathered, circled from the vicinity of the "Armored Monster Fish" to the corner of the hall, and used the "Spirit World Shuttle" again.
This time, his destination was the staircase leading to the basement.
The guards there were also attracted into the hall.
Lumian's figure had just been outlined at the entrance of the stairs, and immediately turned into a shadow, sneaking into the basement along the vast expanse of darkness.
There are no guards or monitoring by the sea family here, and it seems to be considered an unimportant area, but it just pins on the respect of the villagers of Milo Village for their ancestors.
Lumian in the shadow creature state "naturally" has dark vision, and can roughly see the situation underground in the dark without creating a fireball:
Because it is located by the sea, the stone floor and walls are a bit damp, but thanks to the influence of various extraordinary powers of the building itself, there is no musty smell.
In the middle of the basement, there is a broken, ancestral stone platform, surrounded by a large number of traces of destruction, only some disconnected lines, arcs and some patterns that cannot be seen in their original form.
"The complete symbols and patterns make up the coat of arms of the ancestors of Milo Village? Or is this a pattern with occult effects?" Lumian looked at it over and over again, and it was difficult to restore in his mind what it looked like when it was undamaged.
But he felt that since Noalia of the Abundance Order said that the symbols and patterns here could indicate something, he should be able to gain some information.
What message could it be? Lumian maintained the state of a shadow creature, growing out of the darkness and looking around.
He frowned slightly and whispered silently:
"Could it be that the 'Earth Mother Goddess' Church has the ability to completely destroy this place, but still retains the remnants?
"Does this mean that the sea prayer ceremony also has some effect on them?"
Lumian set his sights on the stone platform where the ancestors were worshipped, and naturally recalled Juan. The details of the ring-making ceremony that Oro said:
After the "Ring of the Sea Queen" is made, it will be placed here for an hour, representing respect for the ancestors.
"Is it placed on this half-collapsed altar?" Lumian approached the gray-black stone platform and found that there was no dust accumulation on it, and all the remaining lines pointed to the blank space in the center of the circle.
His heart moved, he took out a golden louie and placed it in the center of the circle on the altar.
Nothing happened.
Lumian put away Jin Louis, changed into Gin Liso, "Secret Glasses", "Torture" gloves and other items, and placed them on them in turn.
There is still no change.
Lumian did not give up, and took out the silver-white "Lies" ear clip from his pocket and placed it in a blank space with no lines on the surface of the stone platform.
In the next second, Lumian's whole person seemed to be withdrawn from reality.
He saw that in the depths of the stone platform, lines and arcs were highlighted, which were illusory and insubstantial, but they actually existed, and together with the original remnants, they formed two patterns:
One pattern is a layered door drawn using stick figure techniques, and the other is a disc with a surface divided into twelve lattices of different sizes, which resemble a clock but have only one hand.
Lumian stared intently, feeling something attached to the "lie" ear clip.
In the blink of an eye, the lines protruding from the inside of the stone platform wreckage faded, retreated, retracted to their original position, and everything here returned to its normal state.
"Those two paintings just now represent the ancestors of Milo Village? Or the knowledge they acquired when they were first revealed?" Lumian felt that the sea relatives were rushing to the basement, and after muttering, he grabbed the "lie" ear clip and "teleported" directly away.
…………
Solo Hotel, in the master bedroom of the suite.
As soon as Lumian's figure was outlined, he immediately sat down and began to write to Ms. "The Magician"—he didn't care about checking what had changed in the "Lies" ear clips, and planned to send them to his Major Arcana card for review.
After roughly restoring the pattern, symbol, structure, and various situations he saw in the "Governor of the Sea" mansion, Lumian neatly folded several pieces of letter paper, arranged the ceremony, and summoned the "doll" messenger.
Then, he patiently waited for a reply.
