Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

"How is it?" Liya and Valentine asked at the same time when they saw Laien.

Although they have believed Lumian's words, people always take chances and hold on to the expectation that the problem may not be that serious but that the kid is not knowledgeable enough and exaggerates.

Laien looked around, and when he saw that there was no one else around the elm tree, he said in a deep voice:

"I don't dare to ask too directly. I only know that the real date is late April. I don't know the specific date."

Liya and Valentine were silent at the same time.

I and others are indeed trapped in a weird time loop!

Judging from various files and information, this is definitely not something the three of them should face, nor can they handle it.

They are all senior extraordinary people who have experienced many extraordinary events. This is the first time they have encountered such a serious and abnormal situation.

Liya couldn't help but turn her head and look at Lumian:

"What kind of place is your Kordu Village?"

Abnormalities are everywhere, each one more exaggerated than the last!

"I don't know either." Lumian looked innocent. "Before the cycle, the environment here was beautiful, the people were simple, and everyone was normal and hospitable."

He didn't tell the three strangers that the man standing before them was also a member of the Deviants.

Laien sighed and said:

"I have never encountered so many anomalies at once, each of them serious."

"This is the most dangerous situation I have ever faced." Valentine agreed.

Lumian was a little numb to this and sneered:

"It's normal that I haven't encountered it before, because everyone who has encountered it has died."

"..." Liya glanced at him with a smile, "If you can't speak, don't speak. People like you can't grow up in other places."

"Strangled in the cradle?" Lumian laughed at himself, then asked him, "Have you ever received any questions about the priest?"

Laien nodded:

"In recent years, some very similar legends have appeared in different places in the northern and southern continents.

"Legend has it that the Kingdom of Heaven expelled a group of guilty elves and let them come to the earth. They can only live in human bodies, hoping that one day they can atone for their sins, be forgiven, and return to the Kingdom of Heaven.

“In some legends, those little elves look like transparent lizards.

"Well, the elves I'm talking about are not the elves in ancient times, but closer to the mixed concept of fairies and various spirits."

The last few years again? Lumian remembered that the legend related to "Lady Night" only appeared in recent years.

What happened to this world?

He thought for a moment and asked:

"Did you say which god's kingdom it is?"

Lain shook his head:

"Amazingly, everyone who claims to have seen an elf believes it is from the realm of local gods."

Local gods refer to the righteous gods of local beliefs.

A heaven with different gods? Lumian raised his head and looked at the blue sky.

That little lizard-like elf from the sky?

But according to Aurore, above the sky is the starry sky, and each star represents a world.

So, aliens?

Or, from the occult astral realm?

As various thoughts echoed, Lumian asked curiously:

"In some legends, those elves are transparent lizards, but what about the other parts?"

Laien shook his head again:

"They can only find this out in a short period of time. The specific situation may not be known until they communicate with the headquarters."

At this time, Liya said thoughtfully:

“I have heard a little bit about the legend of elves.

"Last time I met a man from Lemberg. He said that farmers in many places in the central and southern regions have believed in the existence of naughty elves in recent years. They will make a mess in their homes and fields, or do various mischief, and be killed. It's called 'funny.'" (Note 1)

The south-central zone refers to the area where small countries such as Lundberg, Masi, and Segar are located, and also includes a few areas of the Republic of Intis, the Kingdom of Loen, and the Kingdom of Fenebaud.

Most of it is located on a plateau, with mountains and forests, and many ruins and legends.

It's really not an independent phenomenon... Lumian listened very carefully.

"Different elves seem to have different ways of behaving." Laien said as if thinking, "And the 'lizards' that live in human bodies are probably the most evil one. I'm not sure whether they are the most dangerous, huh. , with so many abnormalities occurring in Kordu, the parasitism of the elf should not be an isolated phenomenon, maybe someone wants to use it to control the priest of the replica hall."

His thinking is very clear... Lumian looked at the villagers who were returning home after doing various things, and said to Liya and others:

"Meet you at half-past three in the afternoon behind the hill where the magistrate's castle is.

"Do you want to search for clues with me?"

"Okay." Laien agreed.

Seeing Lumian was about to leave, Liya hurriedly called out to him:

"that's all?

"You must at least explain in detail the state of the castle, who is inside, and the abnormalities displayed by Mrs. Pualis. We cannot explore and search without preparation."

Although Lumian didn't want to think about things related to Mrs. Pualis, he had to admit that Liya's request was very reasonable, so he had to endure the discomfort and tell the story in full.

Lai En and others, who had known something was going on before, were still shocked even though they were mentally prepared, and their expressions became more or less dull.

Soon, Liya laughed tinklingly:

"It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, you are likely to experience something like that in the future. As for you, this is an opportunity that other men will never encounter in their lives. You should cherish it."

Valentine ignored her joke and whispered with a stern expression:

"This is all something that should be purified, something that should be purified!"

Not wanting to irritate this guy, Lumian waved his hand and said:

"See you in the afternoon."

After walking a few steps, he turned around, looked at Laien, and asked cautiously:

"Did Bertrand know the contents of your telegram?"

Bertrand was the telegraph operator in charge of the corresponding affairs. If he knew the date and the legend of the elf, it meant that the administrator also knew, and if the administrator knew, it meant that Madame Poialis knew.

"Don't worry." Lai En said gently, "We have a secret code that he can't understand."

Lumian breathed a sigh of relief, left the village square, and returned to his home building.

Some distance away, www.youxs.org.

"Hey, isn't this our 'Spring Spirit'?" Lumian tried hard to forget the bloody and cruel scene at the end of the Lenten celebration, and greeted Ava with his usual joke.

Ava felt a little embarrassed:

"I haven't chosen yet!"

Her delicate facial features made the off-white dress look less rustic.

"It's definitely no problem." Lumian said with a smile, "Raymond and I will help you canvass votes."

Ava suddenly showed a surprised expression:

"you do not know?"

"What do you know?" Lumian's heart trembled inexplicably.

Could it be that something happened in the village that was not part of the "historical" process?

Ava observed his expression and suspected that he was teasing her.

After a few seconds, the girl frowned with concern and said:

"Raymond is missing, don't you know?"

"Huh?" Lumian was too shocked to hide his expression as usual.

In the last cycle, www.youxs.org started on March 30th, and we met basically every day until Lent, April 5th.

At that time, they followed the process of the waterside ceremony, lifted up Raymond who was the last to throw out the sacrifice, and threw it into the river. And Raymond, like those people in the past, swam farther away until they escaped. He could only go ashore and go home after the ceremony, and he didn't go out until night.

From that day on, during the next two cycles, Lumian had too many things to do and did not bother to play with Raymond.

Who knows, today, Ava suddenly told him that Raymond was missing!

This is something that never happened in the last cycle!

Seeing Lumian's expression, the doubts in Ava's aqua blue eyes disappeared:

"You really don't know...

"Raymond's father may come to you today and ask where Raymond has gone."

Lumian suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked:

"When did Raymond disappear?"

Could it be that something unexpected happened because I didn't go to him according to the "historical" process?

"Two days ago," Ava recalled, "he said he went out on the afternoon of the 29th and never came back. His family originally thought he was drunk in an old pub or chatting with a 'gawker.' Last night I just started looking for it, I should ask you today..."

She paused and lowered her voice:

"They suspected that Raymond didn't want to learn how to shepherd sheep and ran away secretly."

You think I was the one who instigated it and you want to question me later? Lumian probably understood what was going on.

The time on the afternoon of the 29th immediately reminded him of the beginning of the cycle.

The last two cycles started on the afternoon of the 29th!

In other words, Raymond disappeared at the beginning of the loop? This means that maybe no one deliberately changed the course of "history" because it was too late... So why are there such changes and differences? Lumian fell into deep thought.

Ava glanced at him and asked softly:

"Do you know where Raymond went?"

"I haven't seen him in the past few days." Lumian told the truth.

He began to suspect that Raymond's disappearance was related to being thrown into the river in the last cycle.

But there is no way Raymond could leave Kordu Village because of this, that would trigger a cycle.

After saying goodbye to Ava, Lumian forced himself to remain calm and returned home.

He didn't care about talking about other things and first told Aurore about Raymond's disappearance.

Aurore's expression became serious, she frowned slightly and whispered:

"If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about this person..."

Wearing a simple rose-red long skirt, she paced back and forth, and Lumian began to think about the possible reasons.

After a while, Aurore looked at her brother and said seriously:

"I remember that the essence of the Lenten waterside ceremony was to offer sacrifices to the concept of 'water source' represented by the river. Is it possible that Raymond who was thrown into the water was also considered a sacrifice and was taken away by some being?

"Afterwards, because there is no corresponding material, the cycle is manifested by disappearance."

Lumian shook his head:

"That will trigger a cycle."

It should be triggered when humans leave Kordu Village and the surrounding areas.

Aurore asked in a deep voice:

"What if it's in the form of a corpse?"

Note: In Swiss folklore, a kind of elf is called "Funny".
