Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Snap, Franka kicked away the hand bone that was trying to block her and trip her up.

"Aren't you annoying? Can't you do it differently?" She cursed and turned her head to the side, looking at the street sign next to her.

That meant they finally arrived at their destination.

Each level of the underground tomb is very large, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many skeletons. The road signs at each node can only display the seven or eight most iconic place names and nearby tombs. Ranka and Jenna found the "Tomb of Thorns and Shield Wall" by returning to the small sacrificial square and starting from scratch.

Unlike the tomb on the fourth floor, which is basically closed and has no corpses or skeletons piled on the road, here there are scattered bones and decayed items everywhere, and there is a faint, unpleasant odor.

Jenna looked past the pile of bones outside and saw several metal sheets embedded in the tomb wall. Their surfaces were very blurry and showed signs of severe corrosion. Only the original shield wall and thorn symbols engraved on them could be vaguely seen. , as for whether there are other patterns, it is impossible to tell now.

"No wonder it's called the 'Tomb of Thorns and Shield Wall'." Franka sighed after seeing this.

At the same time, under the dim candlelight, she saw some burial objects placed in the slots on the wall of the tomb. Some of them were made of wood, which had long been weathered and decayed, and some were glass and ceramic vessels in the form of fragments. There is, and the only thing that is well preserved is a glass vial. Its surface is inlaid with hollow patterns made of gold, and it comes with a unique golden lid. It may be because of the protection of these metals that the glass vial is not broken, but it just looks... Gray and not so transparent.

"It's very beautiful, almost like a work of art." After commenting, Franka said doubtfully, "Why didn't the workers who built the catacombs take it away?"

This looks pretty valuable!

"Maybe this tomb was put into the tomb after the catacombs were built." Jenna tried to explain.

The two "witches" didn't think any more. Jenna took out one of the substitute mirrors and handed it to Franka.

She jumped over the pile of skeletons that seemed peaceful but actually hid danger, and landed as light as a feather at the door of the "Tomb of Thorns and Shield Wall".

After confirming the surrounding situation and receiving no spiritual warning, Jenna carefully approached the groove on the side wall along the ground that was not covered by the pale bones.

She instinctively stretched out her right hand, then retracted it, took out an old handkerchief from her pocket, and put it on her palm, avoiding direct contact with the antique tear bottle.

The tears in the tear bottle have long dried up.

Jenna looked at it repeatedly for a while before putting away the tear bottle, returned the same way, and jumped to Franka's side.

"Complete the commission so easily?" she whispered uncertainly.

It was completely different from the last case she took on about the disappearance of the gatekeeper at Deep Valley Monastery.

Franka sneered and said: "How much more difficult do you want for a commission of 1,000 Firkin?"

"Yes, the difficulty is whether we have enough understanding of the hidden dangers in the third level of the tomb." Jenna summed up her experience seriously.

Solo Hotel.

www.youxs.org, and saw the youthful brown-haired girl wearing a red-bottomed black-striped dress dancing in the corner, occasionally stopping to correct her movements.

Lumian had an idea, walked to the front desk, and took the opportunity to ask: "What is she doing?"

This time, he directly used the word Intis. The boss with gray hair, sunburn marks on his cheekbones, and wearing a loose white robe was startled for a moment, and then returned to lead Liège.

Accented Intis:

"She is my granddaughter, Isabella, and she is practicing the 'Dance of the Sea' that she will perform next month."

"Dance of the sea"... "Dance of the sea" in the sea prayer ceremony? Lumian did not expect to get this answer, and smiled like a reflex: "Would this make many girls jealous?"

The boss showed a clear smile: "It's not like becoming the 'Maid of the Sea'. Not many people are jealous, but participating in the 'Dance of the Sea' performance is indeed something that can make her proud and happy for a long time."

While Lumian motioned for Lugano to take Ludwig back to the room, he asked the boss casually: "Are you coming from Liège?"

"Yes, I am Guillaume." The boss said with a self-deprecating smile, "www.youxs.org, when I saw your ID cards this morning, I wanted to say hello to you in Intis, but I gave up in the end. , you also know that Intis people are not equal to good people, even from the same hometown, I have met several guys with poor character."

"How long have you been in Santa Port?" Lumian asked with interest, leaning his right elbow on the desk at the front desk.

Old Otta thought carefully about it: "Forty years, it should be forty years. At that time, I was a caravan man. I met my wife here and stayed here. Haha, she has now become A nagging old lady, she either worried about how to arrange my clothes after the cold weather, or told me to go home for dinner and leave the hotel to the guys. She always arranged everything well and didn't need me to worry about it. How nice, it’s rare to find such a woman in Liège.”

Lumian listened to Old Ota's ramble for a while before turning to the topic: "I was invited by a friend to come to Santa Port to watch the sea prayer ceremony."

"It was very lively, the whole port was partying." Old Ota did not hesitate to praise him.

Lumian glanced at Isabella, who was still practicing her dance, and chatted "casually": "I heard that there was an accident during last year's sea prayer ceremony?"

"No." Old Otta responded with a puzzled look on his face, "I watched the flower boat parade, the boat race and the 'Dance of the Sea', and there was nothing surprising about it."

At this point, he frowned and fell into memories: "However, Sandro did say that the number of shipwrecks this year has increased a lot, there are more pirates encountered, and the fishing harvest is not as good as last year. …Was there really an accident in last year’s sea prayer ceremony? Is it the vigil ceremony, or is it a problem with the sea festival? Did the old guys from the Fisheries Guild hide the problem?”

"Who is Sandro?" Lumian asked.

Old Horta smiled again: "It's my child, Isabella's father. He works as a clerk in the government, and his wife is a grammar school teacher."

Is the sea prayer ceremony in Santa Port really effective? After being pranked by the "April Fool's Day", the shelter effect has decreased? Some of the information he had obtained before naturally flashed through Lumian's mind:

Among the three fringe members of the "April Fool's Day" who participated in the prank, one went to Toler, the capital of Gaya Province, to order a unique gold ring, and the one in charge of bribing the fishing guild stuffed the ring The lamb with the gold ring was sent as a sacrifice to the specially-made boat where the sea festival was held. A man disguised as a reporter followed the members of the Fisheries Guild throughout the process, observing and recording their reactions.

——The surprised, frightened and angry expressions of those elderly people after hearing certain news made the participants of "April Fool's Day" happy for a long time.

Lumian asked some more questions about the sea prayer ceremony, said goodbye to Old Otta, and walked to the suite upstairs.

Four o'clock in the afternoon, Trier, Observatory District, near Purgatory Square.

Jian Na put on a hooded black robe and painted her face to look like a "flamboyant woman". Following the feedback given by her client, Jian Na came to a street selling funeral items.

Most of the Trier people who come and go here are normal, but a small number of them wear white masks, hold unbladed sickles, and wear black robes, pretending to be the messengers of the undead in folklore and wandering around, or wearing white masks. Skulls and other objects are sewn on the shoulders, giving a very artistic look...

Thanks to their presence and Trier's unique temperament, Jenna dressed as a wizard and wearing a hood is not eye-catching at all.

She stopped in the corner and took out the exquisite tear bottle.

Not long after, a man dressed similarly to her stopped in front of her and asked hoarsely: "How much does this tear bottle cost?"

"1,000 Firkin." Jenna suddenly became excited.

This is the first time she has actually completed a commission.

"1001 Firkin." The man dressed as a wizard took the initiative to increase the price.

Seeing that the codes matched, Jenna "insisted" on only accepting 1,000 Firkin.

After both parties completed the confirmation, she handed the tear bottle to the other party, accepted the reward, and left here.

The hooded man walked through the nearby streets with a tear bottle in his hand. It took him nearly a quarter of an hour to circle back to Purgatory Square and reach a bench at the edge.

There sat a man reading a newspaper.

The hooded man handed over the exquisite tear bottle inlaid with hollow gold patterns and whispered: "I have completed your commission, will the money I owe you be offset?"

The man sitting on the road chair lowered his newspaper and raised his head.

He was dressed as a clerk, with slightly curly black hair, deep-set eye sockets, dark eyes, thick lips, and a crystal-like monocle on his right eye.

"Mr. Monit?" the hooded man asked in confirmation.

Monit took the tear bottle, gently rubbed the golden pattern on the surface, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

Solo Hotel, fifth floor suite.

Lumian didn't go out all afternoon. He sat on the recliner and continued to learn the Plateau language unsteadily. From time to time, he read travel books introducing the customs and customs of the Kingdom of Feneport.

Towards evening, Lugano, who had gone downstairs to chat with someone, returned to the room.

He approached Lumian and lowered his voice: "Boss, a lady is looking for you."

Madam... Hearing this term, the hairs on Lumian's body stood up at the same time, and the muscles in his back tensed up.

Which "ma'am" is this?

After a second, Lumian finally realized that the lady Lugano was talking about was a lady in the normal sense, not a "madam" in the extraordinary world.

"Madam, what do you want from me?" He sat up calmly and asked his translator.

Lugano shook his head and said: "She didn't say, www.youxs.org."

Lugano placed the accent on the phrase "well-known adventurer."
