Lumian "followed" his promise, and after only sitting at the table of the two "witches" for a few minutes, he politely said goodbye and left, which made the men nearby a little dazed and confused.
Shouldn't we pursue the victory?
Could it be that this is the advanced technique of the Intis Playboy and Dantiist?
Walking back to his dining table, Lumian happened to see the waiter carrying a high stack of plates, leaving with a confused, shocked, and fearful expression.
I really finished all the dishes on the menu!
The way they looked at Ludwig and Lugano was like looking at two monsters crawling out of the abyss.
"If you had known that two-thirds of the dishes and staple foods just now were eaten by Ludwig, and Lugano and I only shared the remaining one-third, we would be even more afraid, worried that we would be eaten too, well, that worry is justified......" Lumian muttered silently and sat down.
In front of him, Ludwig, and Lugano, an apple cake and a cup of milky ice cream were placed respectively.
Ludwig's face was undisguised satisfaction, this was the fullest and most satisfying time he had eaten in a long time, not only because the Vrsak dishes were large and tasted good, but also because Lumian didn't feel distressed about spending other people's money.
Lumian pushed his apple cake to Ludwig, seemingly intently scooping up the milk ice cream with a spoon and putting it in his mouth.
While feeling the melting of the frost and the dispersion of the milky smell, he suppressed his voice and said to himself:
"Have you noticed any anomalies around the 'Two of Cups' and 'Seven of Cups'?"
After a short silence, an illusory and ethereal voice sounded in Lumian's ears.
That comes from "Knight of the Sword" Malich:
"I noticed a little bit, starting from Chaban Street and ending when you are close to the 'St. Mirron's Restaurant', but I only noticed a slight abnormality, and I didn't find out where it came from."
It is consistent with Franka's description and my speculation, and it confirms each other...... The temperance demigod was unable to find out when Osetto had already begun to follow Franka and Jenna...... Can you only wait for Osetto to take the initiative? Lumian thought for a few seconds, took out a pair of flat gold-rimmed glasses for camouflage and placed them on the bridge of his nose for camouflage.
He immediately saw the figure of the "Knight of the Sword" wearing a shirt and vest prominently displayed on the lenses, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The voice of Marich in his ears became clearer:
"We may have found similar slight abnormalities and corresponding traces, which is one of the main reasons why we are sure that Oceto is still in the Lacre area."
Can this kind of thing be achieved simply by relying on the "other world", and can quietly come and go under the noses of the demigods through the "prisoner" path with very strong spiritual intuition without being "seen"? Lumian lacks a deep understanding of the "other world" and can only speculate based on his own past experiences.
He has entered the "other world" more than once!
In Kordu Village, whether it was reality or dreams, he had entered the "other world" many times, but at that time there was no high-level power to enter, and he could not judge the state of the "other world" and whether it could hide the senses and intuition of the demigods after it unfolded;
In Trier, in the "Shadow Tree" disaster, he passively entered the "other world" of "Ms. Moon", that "other world" was well isolated from the inside and outside, so that the demigods of Trier did not notice that the "Shadow Tree" was growing, and there was a battle taking place in that area. The demigods of Trier are very far away from the streets, and they don't find anything hidden there, so they can understand and accept it......
Memories flashed in Lumian's mind, and he always felt that the "other world" could not be to this extent now:
When the "Other World World" was put away, the temperance demigod couldn't sense it even if it was next to it, which was normal, but after it unfolded under the nose of the temperance demigod, why didn't the problem still be exposed at all?
Is it that strong?
I think the "other world" of "Ms. Moon" should not be able to do it, so I can only cover up the movement and protect myself from being detected through distance......
Lumian looked out the window and saw two local residents among the passers-by, one with a purple human skull hanging from their chests, and the other with a rope tied to the top of their heads.
"Death Worship......
"'The Other World'......
"Perhaps, what the 'Witch King' Osetto did in the Lacle region gave his 'other world' some kind of specialness, and it was by this special that he could open the 'other world' in front of a demigod without being discovered until there was a substantial interaction between the two sides......" Lumian combined with Madame Puaris's desire to use the folklore of Kordu to improve her "other world", and had a certain guess.
Lumian ate another scoop of milk ice cream, and said in a low voice again:
"Let's talk about the origin and situation of the Skull Blessing Festival in detail."
"Knight of Swords" Malich's voice echoed more clearly in his ears:
"This goes back to the fall of the 'Shinigami' and the situation in the Southern Continent changed fundamentally.
"The fall of the 'god of death' has caused a mutation in the underworld, and the vast majority of the undead can no longer sense the underworld, and when they enter it, they can only wander outside it, wandering in the spiritual world and the real world.
"In this way, after the death of intelligent creatures, they are very easy to transform into corpses, or become resentful souls or evil spirits, which is a great threat to living beings and brings disasters one after another.
"The response of the countries in the northern continent is to purify and strengthen cremation by the church, among them, the 'Eternal Sun' Church and the God of War Church have a significant purification effect, and those who have received purification do not have to be cremated."
Hearing this, Lumian truly understood and understood a series of measures such as comfort before death, purification after death, encouraging cremation, and rewarding the death of homeless people.
Their source turned out to be the fall of the "god of death", and the underworld changed!
No wonder the old bones on the lower floors of the catacombs are all bones and there are no ashes...... In the Fourth Age, the underworld had not yet changed, and the undead still had a place to return...... Some occult knowledge says that the easy mutation of corpses is the effect of the "God of Death" invading the North Continent in the "Pale Disaster" at the end of the Quaternary Age...... Lumian suddenly realized that he had a more thorough understanding of certain occult knowledge.
The Knight of the Sword continued:
"The same problem occurred in the Southern Continent, which is not difficult to deal with, the Byron Empire, which has a large number of extraordinary people in the 'Reaper' path, quickly came up with several plans, and the corpse disaster in some areas was quelled without forced cremation, allowing those places to return to normal.
"In other areas, as countries such as Hagarty, Pas, and Highlands are striving for independence, the belief in the 'Grim Reaper' has begun to decline, and there has been a period of flooding of corpses and a power vacuum, and people in different regions can only find their own way."
Lumian nodded slightly:
"The method in the Laquere region is the Skull Blessing Festival?"
"The Skull Blessing Festival is just a performance." The "Knight of the Sword" explained simply, "According to the information left over from the Highland Kingdom, the Lacle people should have established a small kingdom of the dead with the help of a local official of the former Byron Empire, so that the spirits of the dead could enter there, no longer come out, and get a good night's sleep.
"But that's not the underworld after all, there is no way to really do such a thing as restful sleep, and it is impossible to completely restrain the undead, so we can only wait for them to die little by little.
"The annual Skull Blessing Festival is a festival for the undead to come out and celebrate their release, and placing the skulls of loved ones at home can allow the undead who accidentally leave that small country to avoid them and not harm them."
To put it simply, I created a rudimentary, regionalized underworld so that the undead would have a place to return......
Where to return...... one of the concepts of "The Other World" is that the soul returns to the earth and wanders in the wilderness, these two ideas are very close......
Also, in "The World on the Other Side", on special days, the souls of the dead can return home and enjoy the joy of reunion, which is very similar to the Skull Blessing Festival in the Laqueray region......
The only difference is that the revenants here have no path to rebirth, they can only die slowly...... Lumian compared the similarities and differences between the local kingdom of the dead and the "world on the other side", and vaguely grasped something.
He remembered Louis. Lund relayed some of Madame Puaris' words:
What is currently being built is only a small, miniature world of the other side, which is part of the complete world of the other side......
Hoarse...... Lumian took a breath and whispered to himself:
"Osetor doesn't want to integrate the local undead kingdom into his 'other world' and make the latter more complete, right?
"He, no, she has already succeeded initially, so you can't find her?"
"Knight of Swords" Mariqi was silent for a moment and said:
"It's possible."
After a pause, he took the initiative to add:
"We didn't see the kingdom of the dead either."
See...... Lumian was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the "Knight of the Sword" meant to express.
The "prisoner" path can be resentful, and they can directly see the kingdom of the dead, but after they went to the Lacle area this time, they did not find anything corresponding.
Lumian didn't respond, but thought of another question:
"If Osetor has indeed initially fused that small undead kingdom, it is equivalent to a local Grim Reaper, and he must be able to sense the Omibella bloodline on me just now......
"How will she react?
"Is it instant anger, or do you think this can be used?
"Why didn't she do it directly? Yes, she also used the bird's claw monster baby to discover that Ludwig next to me had the aura of a corpse 'mother', and the two added up, it looked like a bait at first glance, and there was a trap at first glance!
"This made her who was accustomed to indulgence endure, what she had to do now was to ask for help?"
Thinking of this, Lumian took off his glasses and stood up on the ground.
