Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

The lady turned her head and looked out the window of the old tavern:

“It’s almost time, let me tell you a little bit of common sense at the end.

"Based on the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics, we can know that people combine with extraordinary characteristics to become extraordinary people, and creatures combine with extraordinary characteristics to become extraordinary creatures. What about the combination of items with extraordinary characteristics?"

She didn't give Lumian a chance to answer and said directly:

“That’s called a magical item.

"Because the items themselves do not have the concepts of will, spirit, self-control, etc., plus the combined effect of other factors, after they are combined with extraordinary characteristics, in addition to showing corresponding special abilities, they will also bring strong negative effects. The church tends to seal them up and use appropriate methods to open them when needed.

“This also leads to magical items being called sealed objects.

"The magical items that have been sealed by major churches have their own numbers, which are divided into four levels: 3, 2, 1, and 0. The smaller the prefix number, the higher the danger. Among them, level 1 and level 0 sealed items The number is limited and extremely harmful, and the number is common to all major churches and will not be repeated."

"Level 0 sealed object..." Lumian whispered this phrase.

He was extremely impressed by the fact that Sequence 0 was equal to the True God, and he had a certain association with it, so he asked:

"Is this a sealed object formed by the gods that died in the past or the evil gods that were eliminated?"

According to the fact that all twenty-two paths have sequence 0, which correspond to a true god, the current number of gods is obviously insufficient.

Of course, Lumian also admitted that this might be caused by his lack of understanding of the evil god's hidden existence.

"Not all." The lady thought for a moment and said, "Most of them are angels, and only a few have the ability to kill gods."

Lumian nodded:

"I understand, I will not despise the items in other people's hands."

The woman added:

"Don't underestimate the negative impact of Sealed Artifacts. You will definitely have your own Sealed Artifacts in the future.

"Well, there is another type of objects in the field of mysticism. They are called extraordinary objects. They are made by extraordinary people of the corresponding sequence using their own abilities and spirituality, or with the help of the spirit world and gods. They do not contain extraordinary properties, but they have A certain amount of extraordinary performance, but the power will gradually fade over time. Among them, spells, potions, etc. can only be used once.

"In comparison, extraordinary weapons are more stable, and many can be used on a yearly basis.

"As a 'hunter', you lacked the ability to deal with spirit ghost creatures before Sequence 7. If you have the opportunity later, consider acquiring corresponding sealed objects or extraordinary objects."

Lumian listened carefully and asked probingly:

"Spirit world?"

He had seen the term in Veil of Hidden magazine, but had not been given an adequate explanation.

The lady spoke a little faster:

"From the perspective of mysticism, this world is divided into three levels, one is the real world, the second is the spiritual world, and the third is the astral world. The others are formed based on one of these three, such as the underworld.

"I don't need to talk about the real world. You know it very well. The spiritual world is the world where spirits live. There, many concepts of reality no longer exist. You will gradually understand it later. The star world originally refers to the world of God. Now we need to include the entire starry sky.”

Lumian himself just asked casually, and immediately returned to the topic after getting the preliminary answer:

"Can a 'Hunter' make extraordinary things?"

He felt that "Wizard" should be able to do it.

The lady shook her head first, and then said:

"'Hunters' cannot rely on the sequence itself, but because their spirituality has been improved, they can learn ritual magic, pray to a certain god or hidden existence, and use their responses to create extraordinary things such as spells and weapons.

"But I want to remind you that most of the hidden existences are very dangerous. It is best not to try to pray to them, otherwise death is the best outcome. The seven righteous gods will basically not respond to you unless you Joined the corresponding church and became an official Extraordinary."

"To put it simply, it is impossible for a 'Hunter' to make extraordinary things?" Lumian was quite disappointed.

The lady smiled and said:

"No, on the one hand, you can use the blood and saliva of certain extraordinary creatures to make poisonous weapons. In a sense, this is also an extraordinary thing. On the other hand, when you unlock the secret of dreams , I will tell you the name of a great being to whom you can pray."

A great being? This was the first time she used "great" as an adjective. She had never used "Eternal Blazing Sun" or "Hidden Sage" before... Who could it be? Is there no danger in praying to Him? Lumian's eyes narrowed slightly, surprised and suspicious.

The more he learns about it, the more he feels his lack of occult knowledge.

Lumian said "hmm" and said with the mentality that nothing would be lost by asking:

"What is Sequence 8 corresponding to 'Hunter', and what about Sequence 7?"

The lady replied nonchalantly:

“Sequence 8 of the ‘Hunter’ pathway is called ‘Provocateur’, and Sequence 7 is ‘Arsonist’.

"Okay, that's it for today."

She immediately stood up and walked to the entrance to the second floor.

After a few steps, she stopped, turned back and said:

"Forgot to remind you.

"Remember, you're just pretending."

Just pretending... Lumian chewed on these words and asked thoughtfully:

"What if you take the role you play seriously?"

"You will become less and less like yourself, until one day..." The woman smiled and closed her mouth.

She turned around, walked to the stairs, and disappeared there.

Without finishing his words... Lumian muttered silently.

He could feel that if he didn't remember that he was just acting, the consequences would most likely be serious.

Lumian was not in a hurry to leave the old tavern, and sat quietly in the corner, recalling all the common sense that the lady just said a few times, so as not to forget anything.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized the importance of those two laws and one method:

"They are like the main frame of the building of occultism, and everything else depends on them...

“I don’t know about Aurore, I don’t know…

"After leaving Kordu, discuss this issue with her...

"Well, I don't know if the lady will allow me to tell Aurore directly..."

…………

After leaving the old tavern, Lumian looked back and muttered silently:

"Why haven't those three foreigners taken action yet? Today is Lent..."

He thought as he went to the village square.

When he came out after asking if he had called back, he saw Ava, Raymond and others coming here.

Ava put on a long white dress, a round headdress made of branches and flowers on her head, and a similar giant necklace hanging around her neck. There were brown branches and green leaves on her back, arms, waist, and legs. The embellishment makes her look like a fairy in the forest.

This is the protagonist of Lent, the “spirit of spring.”

Raymond and other young people gathered around Ava, each carrying a basket made of branches, containing grass, soil, stones, leaves and other things.

"Lumian, the blessing parade is about to begin!" Ava's aqua blue eyes turned and she saw Lumian.

Her face was full of joy.

Raymond and others also looked happy:

"Quick, let's go get the offering together!"

Because "Novel Weekly" had not responded to the telegram, Lumian had nothing to do for the time being and simply joined the blessing parade.

They young people sang loudly, surrounded Ava, and walked out of the square.

Only a dozen meters away, they stopped in front of the first building.

Lumian walked to the door and banged the door:

"The 'Spring Spirit' is here!"

The door creaked open, and Naaraiza appeared in front of everyone.

She is another female head of the family in the village with the title "Na". She is in her forties, with black hair pulled up and blue eyes smiling.

Seeing the door open, Ava took two steps forward, spread her hands, and sang:

"I am the spirit of spring

“The face is friendly and beautiful

"...

"Sing, dance

"Only in this way can we get a good harvest..."

After singing a verse, Ava took out a piece of soil from the basket carried by Raymond and handed it to Naaraiza.

"Thank you 'Spring Spirit'." Naaraiza took it with a smile and handed the piece of cloth in her hand to Ava:

"Good harvest! Good harvest!" Lumian and other young people responded in unison.

This is a blessing ceremony: the "spring elves" bless the villagers for a good harvest this year by singing and giving natural objects such as soil, grass, and stones. The villagers need to give back, that is, make certain contributions, otherwise Blessings can turn into curses.

When Raymond next to her took away the cloth, Ava sang another song enthusiastically.

They then said goodbye to Naaraiza and walked to the next house.

——Part of the offerings received during the blessing parade will be thrown into the river during the waterside ceremony, and the rest will be placed in the final ceremony. When Lent passes, the girl who serves as the incarnation of the "Spring Spirit" has the right to choose Some take away.

That's a pretty substantial gain.

And if Kordu Village really gets a good harvest this year, then Ava, who serves as the incarnation of the "Spring Elf", will be widely believed to have received the love of the elves and the blessings of spring. Whoever marries her will have a long-term future. of good harvest.

In that case, she really has hope of marrying someone from a good family.

The blessing parade team sang and walked all the way to Lumian's house.

The person who opened the door was naturally Aurore. She had also changed into more formal clothes - a light-colored stand-up collar dress with ruffles and blond hair pulled up.

Ava came over and sang the same song again:

"I am the spirit of spring..."

After listening to this with a smile, Aurore took a leaf and took out a small earthenware jar and handed it to Ava:

"Thank you 'Spring Spirit'."

Animal fat separated from the big can? Lumian glanced at it and felt that his sister was too generous.

Apart from a small vegetable patch behind the house, my family has no fields at all, so I don’t have to worry about whether the harvest is good or not.
