Staring at the sheepfold that only had haystacks and a grain of feces left, Ryan frowned and said, "The underground altar was repaired so quickly?"
He suspected that the three sheep had been taken to sacrifice.
"Those followers of evil gods may have some special abilities." Valentine responded with a look of disgust.
Listening to the discussion between the two, Lumian suddenly recalled the sheep's cry that he vaguely heard last night.
Could that be the sound made by one of them being sacrificed? With such doubts, he told Ryan and Valentine the guess.
"Not likely." Ryan shook his head, "The church is several hundred meters away from your home, and the altar is underground."
What he meant was that even if "Hunter" strengthened his hearing, it would be absolutely impossible to receive the sound from the bottom of the church.
Lumian himself thought so too, but that couldn't explain why he heard the sheep bleating, and at the same time, he felt an obvious burning sensation in his chest, and the black thorn symbol was half aroused.
This cannot be faked!
Burning sensation... Lumian's heart moved, and he remembered something that the mysterious lady said:
Pray to Yourself...Principle of Proximity »
Reminiscent of the black thorn symbol on his chest also highlighted in the ceremony to pray for the power of the "Dancer", he suddenly had a new guess:
He could hear the sound of the sheep bleating during the sacrifice, which originated from the connection in mysticism!
To put it simply, when the priest and others held a ceremony and prayed to that hidden existence, because of the principle of proximity, they also pointed to the pollution in Lumian's body, half arousing the black thorn symbol, so Lumian was able to separate From such a long distance, I vaguely heard a sheep cry.
Since he didn't respond, he didn't know how to respond. After all, the pollution was sealed by the owner of the blue and black pattern. The priests and their rituals in the church finally "connected" with the hidden existence.
After the ceremony was over, the burning sensation in Lumian's chest naturally subsided.
From this point of view, there was no invisible, strange force that eroded into Aurora's room last night, it was just that the anomaly in me was half aroused by the priest's ritual... Lumian probably figured out the cause and effect.
At this time, Ryan reminded his companion:
"It seems that our exploration of the underground of the church made the priests of the church feel a strong sense of crisis, so they tried to repair the altar and prayed for strength in advance.
"We need to be doubly careful from now on and not think that the situation will only become dangerous when it is approaching Lent."
"If it wasn't for worrying about restarting, they would have been dealt with long ago!" Valentine said with hatred.
Then, he sullenly added:
"Can you stop calling that evil god's servant the priest? He doesn't deserve it!"
Why did he become the priest of the church if he was not worthy? Lumian didn't dare to speak out what was in his heart.
He wasn't afraid this time, but mainly wanted to maintain his image in Valentine's eyes. After all, he might have to persuade this fanatic believer to do something later, such as using suicide to verify the nature of the cycle.
Ryan nodded: "Let's take the time to visit Mrs. Puares, replenish food and water, and try not to go out if we can."
Lumian didn't say much, and turned away from the back door of the shepherd Pierre Berri's house, and walked towards the hill where the castle was located.
Passing through the colorful garden, he came to the gate that was only half open, and said to the male servant in a red coat and white trousers: "We have something to see Mrs. Pouaris."
"Wait a moment." The servant glanced at Ryan and Valentine, turned around hastily, and disappeared through the door.
Not long after, the "midwife" in a long gray dress came out.
Compared with the last time, her face was more blue, and her eyes were so dull that it made people feel chilling.
If Lumian hadn't told Lane and Valentine that the "midwife" was not "dead" in advance, they would definitely be startled by now.
It's just that the dead turned into living corpses. They are not uncommon. The "Sun Priest" is specialized in dealing with such things. There are not a hundred similar things purified by Valentine, but there are dozens of them, but they have already been chopped into flesh. Human beings in pieces can still reproduce their original appearance, and they are closer to living people than corpses, which is not what they can understand now.
The "midwife" opened her mouth, and said in a completely calm tone, "Madam doesn't want to see you, so let you go back."
"We have very important matters." Lumian didn't shy away, and asked directly, "Isn't Mrs. Pouaris worried that the underground man will destroy her follow-up arrangements?"
The "midwife" maintained the same tone as before: "Madam said that it won't affect her."
Hearing this sentence, Lumian suddenly felt a cold feeling all over his body.
This means that it will be difficult for them to obtain the help of Mrs. Puares, a powerful person.
Lumian laughed, without any frustration or depression. He looked at the "midwife" and said, "But we may go to explore that tomb."
His implication is that during the exploration process, no matter which party has an accident, the cycle may be restarted in advance. The expression of the "midwife" has not changed, it is still so stiff and dull:
"You can try it, and the result will only disappoint you."
What's the meaning? Lumian couldn't understand what Mrs. Puares wanted to express for a moment.
She means that although we explore, she will provide some help at critical moments, but we should not find any valuable clues? The more Lumian thought about it, the more she felt that Mrs. Puares should not have guessed what she meant, otherwise she wouldn't directly refuse the request to meet through the "midwife".
Without waiting for Lumian to think about other possibilities, Ryan asked after deliberation:
"Mrs. Puares is trying to tell us that the person or persons in the tomb can easily control us and successfully stop our investigation without touching the loop?"
"Yes." The "midwife" nodded slowly, turned around, and walked into the depths of the castle.
Their next destination is an old tavern, where there are plenty of ingredients and barrels of cheap wine to buy.
Wine is easier to store than water, which is easy to deteriorate. As long as the alcohol content is not high, it can be used to replenish water later.
After entering the old tavern, Lumian immediately looked around, but did not see the mysterious lady.
He looked away slightly disappointed, walked all the way to the bar, and told the boss Maurice Bene what he was going to buy.
When Ryan and Valentine went to move the barrels out, Lumian asked in a low voice:
"Where's the other lady?"
Maurice, Bene shook his head:
"I don't know, maybe in the room, maybe went to other places in the village, maybe went to Liege, anyway, she paid the rent until the 9th, and she can do whatever she likes."
Number 9? Twelfth Night? Lumian nodded thoughtfully.
April 9th is the so-called "Twelfth Night" calculated by him and Aurora.
This also means that March 29 is indeed the first day of the cycle.
And if Ryan and his three outsiders did not happen to enter Kordu Village on the first day of a certain cycle, it means that as long as an outsider breaks into this area, the cycle will restart immediately, on March 29th. start.
"Oh." Lumian patted his head and said to the tavern owner Maurice Bennett, "I don't feel well in my stomach. Go to the lower league wash room. You tell them to wait for me."
Maurice Bene had an expression of "you kid trying to do something bad again" and said, "Don't mess with me!"
The disadvantages of a bad reputation appeared again... Lumian laughed and said: "Don't worry, I really just borrowed the alliance's laundry room!"
He waved while talking, and ran to the entrance of the stairs.
He did want to borrow the washroom, but he borrowed the upstairs one.
Maurice Bene glanced at his back, and muttered, "This **** is in heat too..."
His voice was just enough for Lumian to hear.
Going up to the second floor, Lumian came to the opposite of the wash room and stood in front of the mysterious lady's room.
Knock knock, he knocked on the door.
No response.
Seeing that there was no Do Not Disturb sign hanging on the handle, Lumian knocked on the door twice, louder each time.
Unfortunately, the mysterious lady never appeared.
Lumian thought for a while, then took out a piece of thin wire, and pried a few times at the keyhole.
The door creaked open, and it was empty inside, no one was there.
The quilt on the bed was neatly folded, as if no one had lived there for a while.
Lumian exhaled silently, and closed the door without trying to enter.
In the afternoon, under the pretext of teaching Lumian Hermes language and urgently improving his strength, the siblings gathered in Aurora's bedroom.
Lumian suppressed his voice, and told his sister about the key points of his exploration experience in the dream ruins last night, and finally asked: "Do you have anything to add? The matter of hunting flame monsters."
Even if he was well prepared and possessed the abilities of "Fallen Mercury" and "Invisibility", he still didn't have much confidence in hunting the flame monster.
That is a sequence of qualitative changes in the "Hunter" path!
Aurora laughed: "You have considered all aspects, the only thing I can add is..."
She raised her hands, clenched them into fists, and shook them slightly:
"come on!"
"..." Lumian was overwhelmed by her sister's jokes at such a time.
But the tension in his heart was also eased a lot.
Aurora went on to say: "The rest are some uninspiring words:
"Be careful, be careful, be careful."
Then she sighed:
"It's a pity that the mysterious lady is not here, otherwise I can create some simple auxiliary spells. Together with the 'Brooch of Integrity', I will bring you into your dreams."
"Yeah." Although Lumian was disappointed, he was not depressed, nor did he intend to give up.
At around 9:50 in the evening, Lumian left Aurora's bedroom and walked to the laundry room.
He intends to empty his stomach before the night shift.
Under the crimson moonlight, the washroom was dark, only the area where the toilet was still clear.
Lumian moved closer and undid the belt.
The shadow on the wall behind him suddenly squirmed and turned into a figure holding an ax high!
