Lord of Secrets

When Horus saw Lime, he was already on guard against him. ♦♦  ♦♦

The abnormal behavior of Lime forced him to doubt him at the first time, so when the other party started to talk, Horus held the amethyst pendant taken from Romtz and began to "communicate with the spirit".

Let the other party relax through conversation, thereby increasing the success rate of "communicating with the spirit". Originally Horus was still wondering whether the other party would have extraordinary power, but the "communicating with the spirit" process was not hindered at all.

He successfully obtained part of Lime's memory without the other party knowing it.

The so-called Bailou Court did not exist at all, it was fabricated by him, just to deceive Horus and make him lose his vigilance.

In this regard, Lime did hold some secrets about the Dilafi Peak, but Horus didn't know whether he should believe it at this time.

Lime made Horus understand a truth:

-Maybe you only know what others want you to know.

So, Horus didn't intend to get involved, the "White Rose of Betrayal" had been lost, and he was about to leave here.

But even so, Horus would still think of those strange and confusing places from time to time.

"I am a "psychic" now!"

Horus muttered a few times in his heart, then looked at Lime with fear on his face, and then kept retreating.

Because he is no longer a "gravekeeper", the desire to dig for secrets is getting stronger.

Lime shouted loudly: "Horus, calm down, I can help you get the treasure on the top of the mountain..."

Faced with the temptation thrown by Lime, Horus turned a blind eye and watched the corpses step on Lime to the ground, and then pounced on him, with deep scars all over his neck, chest, and even upper body.

Blood gushed out from Lime's scratched chest, carrying other slowly seeping blood, and finally infecting his whole body.

Horus touched his beating heart tightly and exhaled slightly.

It seems that his feelings are back again.

But, they have changed.

Following the memory he got from Lime's mind, Horus walked slowly towards one of the places.

Maybe some of them are fake, but some of them will be true.

This is a rotten black tree. The crown of the tree is gone. There is only one branch left on the bare, low trunk. This branch is like a broken stone bridge that has experienced wind and frost. It finally collapsed from a distance, gradually spread, and fell to the ground.

Horus didn't know what kind it was, but he knew its name.

He walked up gently, then put his hand on the remaining black branch, gently exerted force, and there was no "click" sound. The charcoal-like branch fell into Horus's hand.

Immediately, Horus held it tightly, and the black rotten branch instantly looked like a castle on the beach, and turned into small particles after drying.

"Tree of Death!"

Horus chewed these words lightly in his mouth.

This is the name of the tree, which Lime wrote down from the manuscript left behind.

According to legend, the Tree of the Dead can bring the dead back to reality from the underworld.

Only a short sentence.

However, what Lime knew was that as long as he took a part of the Tree of the Dead, he could leave.

There was another way, which was to kill the outsider and then sacrifice to the Tree of the Dead, and a black cave would appear, so he could leave.

At this time, it seemed that he only had the first way.

But... Horus hesitated.

Lime's appearance was too unreal, and Horus always felt that he was helpless, just like the villagers who were manipulated by the silk thread.

Maybe there was someone deeper behind the scenes, just to make him eat the so-called tree of the Dead.

Horus could believe that the "Dream Weaver" had no need to harm him, but he doubted the possible existence of him.

Eat or not eat?

Horus hesitated.

A few seconds later, Horus devoutly recited in Guramos:

"The dream weaver who controls miracles;"

"The mysterious star traveler in the mist;"

"The glorious master of the illusory star sea."

When you have difficulties, look for the "dream weaver".

At this time, this is his first attempt to see if the "dream weaver" is real. If it is, then Horus is at least useful.

Even if the gods have just received the chess pieces, they will not ignore them. Otherwise, if they die just after receiving them, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

So, Horus made a decision in an instant.

However, believers certainly need to be pious...even if it is only on the surface, it is an attitude.

And he is actually not familiar with Guramos at all, but Horus is a transcendent, but the meaning and pronunciation of these few words are not so difficult to grasp.

...

At this time, Horus was a little uneasy. He had read in those scriptures that prayers to the gods require tables, candles and other things.

He couldn't remember the details, but it was said that this was to establish a channel of communication with the gods and to please them.

Just like in society, bringing gifts to meet a leader will always make the other party happier than going empty-handed, even if he doesn't need it... Horus suddenly thought of the trivial things in the past.

However, there was no way now, so he shook off these thoughts and continued to say devoutly:

"Your devout lamb prays for your help. I will take the powder of the tree of death to see if I can leave this strange place."

Horus did not use extra words to test the other party. It was unnecessary, and the consequences of angering the other party would definitely be terrible.

Even a "gravekeeper" would be afraid of death in front of the gods, not to mention that he has become a "psychic" now, and the numbness and despair of death have been reduced a lot.

And he has always been self-aware.

…

"The Tree of Death?"

Ubermo sat on the cold chair and muttered softly.

The Tree of Death is not so common in similar underworld sects. It seems that the branches that split out of it believe in this one.

The organization is called "The Book of Death".

This is not a large organization, and even its presence is very low. At its peak, there are probably only a hundred people, and they are very weak.

In Yuri, even if it is just some warlords occupying small cities, there may not be so few, and they also have guns and even explosives. Facing the "Book of Death", they are very likely to directly kill the other party.

But Ubermo still has some understanding of it. After all, it was split from the Hades Sect, and their ideas are also a bit weird, which is why Ubermo has some impression.

"The Hades is not the kingdom of death... The death we pursue is not real, because we still have consciousness..."

"Death exists in the world, but we have no cognition about death, so there must be a real hometown of death - the hometown of sleep."

Their ideas are a bit contradictory.

First of all, they do not recognize that the current mainstream death is death, that is, those beings in the Hades are not considered dead, because they still have consciousness.

Real death means that everything is gone, there is no cognition, no memory, and there is only sleep.

But at the same time, they confirm that real death exists, because they have no cognition of death and no memory of the hometown of sleep.

This sounds contradictory.

Apart from this aspect, the members of the Book of Death believe that there is a tree in the underworld called the Tree of Death, which can lead them back to the real place of death - the hometown of sleep.

But now, Ubermo heard Horus mention the Tree of Death, and he couldn't help but be curious.

The Tree of the Dead is said to exist in the underworld, but that place is obviously not.

The black mist is a little clearer than before, and according to Ubermo's judgment, that place should be the Dark Plateau.

As for the specific place, Ubermo is still unclear.

And from the other party's words, it can be known that Horus is trapped in a place, and according to the information he has received, only by eating the powder of the Tree of the Dead can he return to the real world.

This gave Ubermo a headache, he seemed to have never heard of this statement. As for the Book of the Dead, his understanding is only those on paper, and he has even forgotten some of them.

Whether this is the so-called Tree of the Dead is still a question.

What if my lamb asks for help?

Although the gods are not omnipotent, if they can't do this little thing well, how can they let the lamb be happily fleeced by themselves?

Immediately, Ubermo mobilized the power of the mist and the sea of ​​stars, and blessed his "peeping" to try to find the answer to this question.

In just a moment, Ubemo got a message, that is, once you eat it, you will really stay there.

The destination of death.

If you eat a part of the tree of death, then Horus's destination can only be there.

On the contrary, if you cut off the trunk of the tree of death and make it lower than your eyes, you can leave.

This is just a dead tree that will seduce people.

Ubemo was a little surprised by this result. As long as it is lower than your eyes, you can leave?

"Is this considered looking down on death?"

Ubemo said softly.

If you look up at death, you can't leave. Only by looking down at death can you get rid of it.

In order to confirm it, Ubemo tried to verify it several times before throwing the so-called answer into the black star belonging to Horus.

Looking at the star, Ubemo whispered: "Is this spying so successful?"

...

While waiting, Horus suddenly felt a kind of gaze, as if a sharp edge was on his back, but then it became soft, like a cloud of mist, oppressing him.

After feeling the information in his mind, Horus said with a pious look: "Thank you for telling me!"

Feeling that the gods had disappeared, Horus was silent for a few seconds, and then said softly: "I didn't expect that one day I would not believe what I saw, but would believe in strange gods."

Wrapping the powder and putting it in his arms, Horus looked at the tree of death, and immediately controlled the corpses to grind off the part above his eyes.

The hand bones of the corpses were still strong, and the strength was not weak. In addition, the trunk of the rotten tree was no longer tough, but it was not as fragile as the branches.
