Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

The next morning.

Lumian and the others had just finished breakfast in the room, waiting for Ludwig to clean up the rest, when they heard the doorbell ring.

Outside the door was a half-giant boy who was just over two meters tall, with long arms and legs, and short brown hair that was slightly curly and looked furry.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a square face. After his eyes swept over Lumian, Franca, and Janna, he lowered his head involuntarily, looking at his toes and said:

"www.youxs.org, uh, www.youxs.org."

He used the ancient Fessac language.

"I am." Lumian understood that this should be the messenger sent by Mr. "Sun" to take him to the Twin Towers of the New Silver City.

The Major Arcana card seemed to have deliberately found a boy to ensure that the height difference would not be too exaggerated.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said embarrassedly:

"I am under the order of the 'Six-Man Council'. www.youxs.org."

"Okay." Lumian nodded to Janna and Franca, followed the young man out of the hotel, and walked towards the twin towers in a corner of the New Silver City.

On the way, the half-giant boy walked in front of him, his back was a little stiff, and he occasionally showed a tendency to move his hands and feet together, as if he had almost forgotten how to walk normally.

He looked back at Lumian from time to time, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his head quickly.

When the journey was nearly halfway, he finally thought of a suitable topic, half-turned his body, and asked Lumian:

"You, aren't you worried that I'm a bad person? Maybe the 'Six-Man Council' I mentioned is www.youxs.org?"

I can kill thirty people like you in one breath... Lumian just complained in his heart and didn't say what was in his heart.

On the one hand, they were all followers of Mr. Fool and were not too familiar with each other, so there was no need to ridicule. On the other hand, Lumian felt that if his sister Auror was here, she would definitely not answer in a similar way.

He smiled and said:

"Don't worry, because this is the New Silver City."

The half-giant boy suddenly became very happy and said with a proud tone from the heart:

"Yes, the Lord has always taught us to be kind and restrained. We in the New Silver City strictly crack down on all kinds of crimes, especially theft, fraud and other behaviors..."

The half-giant boy opened the conversation box and continuously introduced how Mr. Fool sent angels to save the Silver City, how he gave the Silver City the promised land, and how he and other people of the Silver City built the New Silver City.

These things, Lumian heard repeatedly several times when he was drinking in the New Silver City, but he was not impatient at this time, allowing the half-giant boy to continue to tell the story smoothly.

He heard the happiness of peace and tranquility from the other party's description.

During this exchange, the two arrived at the twin towers, which are the core buildings of New Silver City. The left one has a spire with public facilities such as a library, and the right one has a dome, which is the office of the "Six-Man Council" that governs New Silver City.

Lumian instinctively cast his eyes on the round tower and found that in the gaps between the bricks and stones close to the ground, clumps of black plants like hair grew out, sometimes drooping, sometimes swaying, as if there was a breeze blowing.

When he came last time, Lumian also noticed this kind of black plants, but he didn't take it to heart. This time, he felt a kind of blood connection.

We are all part of the "Harvest Goddess" Omibella or the continuation of life!

Even if the "0" level sealed object is sealed, it will have a certain impact on the outside world? Lumian retracted his gaze and followed the half-giant boy into the spire.

They stepped on the large black stone bricks, crossed the huge pillars, and came to the library on the third floor.

A tall man in a simple white robe stood in front of the rows of oppressive bookshelves.

The man was over two meters tall, with neatly combed brown hair. He looked about 22 or 23 years old, but he had a very calm temperament and was very oppressive. He was Mr. "Sun" whom Lumian had met last time, one of the top figures in the Church of Fools.

"Elder Berg, Ms. Lumiana is here." The half-giant boy said respectfully.

www.youxs.org Mr. "Sun" looked at Lumian, nodded and said:

"Follow me."

Lumian replied politely:

"Thank you."

The half-giant boy waved and walked to the door. After a few steps, he turned around and shouted to Lumian's back:

"My name is Rugest!"

After that, Rugest turned around quickly and ran down the stairs.

Lumian followed Mr. "Sun" and went deep into the New Silver City Library and entered the innermost secret room, where a stack of documents consisting of scattered records were placed.

"This is all the records about 'Gift of the Earth'. I have translated it into ancient Feysac for you." Mr. "Sun" said simply, and sat down against the wall, not speaking again, as if he had turned into a statue.

Lumian understood that this was to prevent him from having any accidents while reading the materials, so he nodded slightly, sat down at the table, and picked up the stack of very new papers.

He read very slowly, and it took him nearly half an hour to roughly figure out the relationship between "Harvest Goddess" Omibella and Silver City:

In the Second Era, when the ancient gods ruled the earth and the sky, Silver City belonged to the Giant King's Court, and all the people were slaves of the giants.

But unlike other human-affiliated forces of the Giant King's Court, the situation in Silver City is relatively better, because they believe in and follow the Giant King, the ancient god's subordinate god, the Giant Queen, the "Harvest Goddess", Omibella.

In the records of Silver City, the Giant Queen Omibella has descended on their city many times, showing two images:

One image corresponds to light and beauty, with "harvest is gratifying, life is precious" as the core of belief, and regards the people of Silver City as their own children, always ensuring a good harvest of crops, a large number of livestock and poultry, and a rapid population growth. This is the main reason why the people of Silver City rarely suffer innocent slaughter and do not lack food.

The other will bring desolation and death. At that time, all the people of Silver City knew that "the extreme harvest must be accompanied by the extreme desolation", "only life can calm the anger of the earth", "death is a common and beautiful thing like rebirth, and there is no need to be afraid", "we have accepted the gift of the earth, and we must pay the corresponding price" and other words.

If Omibella in this image descends, she will certainly demand bloody sacrifices, with a large number of humans as sacrifices. Even if the people of Silver City do these things and sacrifice their loved ones, they will sometimes suffer from famine for up to a year - if they don't do this, the famine may last for three to five years.

Is this the era of the rule of the ancient gods? The relatively good situation in Silver City is like this... Lumian turned to the next page.

This page records the words of praise from the Giant King's Court to the Giant Queen Omibella. What Lumian cares about most is one of the sentences:

"The noble queen used her motherhood to help the great king calm his emotions..."

What does this mean? Motherhood... Help the Giant King, the ancient god, to expel the extra extraordinary characteristics and regain some rationality by giving birth to children? Lumian continued to read thoughtfully.

After another quarter of an hour, he turned to the stage of the rapid decline of the Giant King's Court:

Silver City, which has obtained another god-level seal, has known that the ancient god Giant King has fallen, and is worried that they and others will fall into the hands of a more brutal demon king.

In such a state of panic, on a night without a red moon, the giant queen Omibella appeared outside the city of Silver.

This time, she did not come directly, but walked step by step.

Her condition was very poor, and she asked the believers of Silver City to hold a ceremony to sacrifice half of their people to herself to help her replenish her life.

The record of the subsequent situation was vague, but the result was clear:

"That night, people killed gods, ministers killed kings, and sons killed mothers."

In other words, the strangely resurrected Omibella eventually died from the betrayal of the believers of Silver City? Lumian was not too surprised.

After that day, Silver City discovered that Omibella's corpse did not have any extraordinary characteristics in the true sense, but it also had powerful strength and terrifying authority. They completely buried this history and hid this secret. Even though they later converted to the "Ancient Sun God", they did not tell the Lord the true origin of the "Gift of the Earth", a god-level seal, until Mr. "Fool"'s angel of salvation came to save them.

At this point, the record of Omibella, the "Harvest Goddess", has come to an end. Next is the information of the sealed item "Gift of the Earth":

"'Gift of the Earth' can naturally create an edible plant in any environment and promote its growth, reproduction and harvest within a range of 50 kilometers.

"'Gift of the Earth' will turn all human dead within a range of 50 kilometers into terrible evil spirits, unless the human died from the murder of a direct relative, and those who have eaten the food created by it and have a strong connection with it will become evil spirits within 300 kilometers..."

Seeing this record that is different from the official sealed item, Lumian suddenly raised his head and looked at Mr. "Sun" sitting by the wall.

He asked in confusion:

"Every human dead will become an evil spirit?

"Those who were not Sequence 5 in their lifetime will also?"

As far as Lumian knows, evil spirits are the strongest type of soul creatures. The weakest of them should also have the level of Sequence 5, and the strong ones can be equivalent to demigods.

"Yes." Mr. "Sun" nodded calmly.

This, the power of "Earth's Gift" is terrifying. It is equivalent to mass-producing Sequence 5 Beyonders, some of whom should be demigods... Is this a "0" level seal? Lumian subconsciously judged it from the perspective of combat power.

He asked tentatively:

"How many human dead can be transformed into evil spirits at a time?"

"I haven't tried it." Mr. "Sun" replied with a serious expression.

Lumian suddenly came to his senses and apologized:

"I'm sorry."

He continued to read the information about the god-level seal - in the New Silver City, "0" level seals are called god-level seals.
