Lord of the Mysteries fanfic: wake up, hermit

There is an endless stream of people coming to pay their respects. The women's hats are sewn with black gauze, which looks like a continuous black cloud from a distance. They cover their faces with fans and talk in low voices, which is reminiscent of the undead in the jungle.

gibbering.

Yelena lay among the dewy lilies and lilacs, looking as if she was asleep, and would slowly wake up when the light came. Thoth stared at her wrinkled face, trying to distinguish the rotten skin.

He showed some traces of her childhood, and finally pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Wish you sweet dreams."

He does not feel regret. This emotion should be reserved for those who have missed something. From learning to talk to running and playing, from entering the palace of marriage to giving birth to her first child, He has perfectly witnessed every stage of her life.

, so I have no regrets or regrets.

Medici stood not far away. He was dressed in black today and had a rare expression. His daughter's son stood a little awkwardly next to his grandfather who looked younger than him - he inherited Medici's iconic

Although she had red hair, she did not inherit the surname of Medici, nor did she inherit the characteristics of a hunter. Yelena stayed in the north for the rest of her life. She did not marry a man from an angel family as most people expected, but married

It was given to a local pharmacist in the north. The pharmacist's sequence was very low, far from being able to pass on the characteristics to the next generation, so the son was just an ordinary person when he was born.

During the interval of speaking, Medici glanced at Thoth, and the Hidden Sage had disappeared like a ghost. He knew in his heart that the other party was planning to leave the next process to him alone - which was quite good.

It's fair, after all, more than sixty years ago, He also left the infant Yelena to the other party.

Thoth left the crowd and walked through the jungle. The sound of birds flapping their wings was heard. He took out a gem from his sleeve with starlight flowing inside.

"Her extraordinary characteristics?"

Amon appeared beside Him, it should be said that He was always there.

"Yes, astrologer."

Angels can decide whether their offspring are extraordinary. In the mysterious world, many people will subconsciously regard extraordinary people as gifts, so many people will not think that Red Angel did not inherit the characteristics to his first child, and Yelena

When he grew up, Thoth chose to become a spy, and Thoth had mixed feelings - he was happy that if she really took this path, he could guide her and protect her; he was worried that the higher the spy went, the more he would become a spy.

You will inevitably see the true face of the world - that is, chaos and madness.

After thinking for a long time, Thoth decided to ask the reason first.

The little guy answered with bright eyes: "Because Uncle Thoth looks like a fairy godmother when he uses magic!"

Thoth wanted to speak but stopped, stopped speaking but wanted to.

Can't he be a fairy godfather?

But fortunately, the situation that worried him did not happen, because Yelena's promotion was just like playing. It took nearly fifteen years to slowly advance to Sequence 5, but she never touched that trace of divinity.

She didn't take the initiative to make requests, and Thoth didn't take the initiative to encourage her to try.

That's fine. Thoth thought to himself, living as a human being and dying as a human being, many people are afraid of death, but they don't know that death is also a desired destination...

"choose."

"What?" Thoth pulled out of his past memories.

Amon said: "I remember you told me before, 'Choice is the most precious gift given by gods to mankind. Medici gave her choice, right?"

"Yes." Thoth sighed softly, "Among all the descendants of Medici, Yelena is the most special one as the first-born daughter. Medici allows her to choose whether to enter the extraordinary world and which path to take.

The way is to stay in the sequence, instead of being destined to live as a hunter like other brothers and sisters, destined to go to the battlefield."

They stopped in front of an elm tree with scattered dead leaves. Amon deceived the laws of physics so that the snow accumulated at the roots of the tree would not melt into water. Thoth sat down, feeling like he was sitting on the sand.

In the pile, Amon sat next to Him.

"I have heard some gossip among the nobles before." Amon helped him brush a few strands of hair that fell on the snow to his chest, "Similar to 'The Medici family is a sacrifice offered by the Red Angel to the evil god, what?

Yes, and Medici did not refute

In this regard, He said very naturally, "Their lives come from me and should be controlled by me."

"That's really His style."

Thoth's reaction was very calm, a bit indifferent, which was beyond Amon's expectation. After noticing the doubts of Time Angel, the Hidden Sage simply explained: "Although I don't agree with this view, the only thing I care about is Yelena.

.”

"Okay, but since He reproduces with this kind of consciousness, why is he so generous to Yelena alone?"

"This one-time generosity will not shake the foundation of the Medici family. If you really want to say why..." Thoth paused, "You can understand that he has softened his heart."

"That word doesn't sound right with Medici."

"I don't think they match, but that's the fact." Thoth exhaled, "For a fanatical believer who always cares about God, giving his children enough freedom is a rare kind of love."

They sat quietly for a while. A few red squirrels jumped up and down and hid the nuts in their nests. Amon very unsympathetically stole the chestnuts they had just buried in the snowdrift, peeled the shells and put them in the open air.

Special palm.

"Just give it a try." Thoth chewed the plump chestnut meat slowly, "Remember to return the extra."

"I know." Amon nodded, "Are you still sad now?"

"A little bit, but more of an emotion."

"Are you feeling the brevity of human life?"

"It's not that human life is short." Thoth smiled bitterly, "It's that our lives are too long, no different from a rock."

All plans will not stop because of the passing of a life.

On the third day after the funeral, the hidden sage went to visit Duke Abraham. They walked under the virtual starry sky of that year, with the zodiac shining brightly above their heads, and the Scorpio among them kept chasing Orion, trying to

He stung him to death with his sharp tail. After saying some polite words about mourning and submission, Thoth went directly to the topic.

"I want to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" "I want to ask you for two doors."….

Thoth said straight to the point, "The two gates are as tall and wide as the palace, and can send things thousands of miles away in an instant."

The large ship that combined the power of mysticism and technology was named "Ark", and the plan to take the remnants of the God-forsaken land away from that land was also called "Ark Project".

Everyone involved in the Ark Project swore an oath not to reveal anything and was secretly monitored. Many people doing the basic work didn't even know they were involved, but the most important thing was Thoth's "hidden" authority. Everything

Any information that may have been leaked has been well contained by Him.

But it is one thing to prepare in secret, and another thing to sail on the water.

On the way to the land abandoned by the gods, we have to cross the Sunian Sea. The ocean is Leodro's home field. Every drop of water is an extension of his hands and feet. It's not like Thoth has never thought of letting the entire ship fly.

It may be possible to stay far away from the sea, but the tyrant is both the "King of the Sea" and the "King of the Sky". Every ray of wind will truthfully report the strangeness to him. Even though he is "hidden", Thoth dare not say that he can 100%

Hidden from Leodro - what does that saying mean? "A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake".

If it really gets to the point of head-on confrontation...

Thoth felt his scalp numb when he thought of Leodro's electromagnetic storm. That thing was extremely unfriendly to his information structure. If he really stepped into it, he might end up with hemiplegia.

In line with the idea of ​​"preventing things from changing over time and falling into stalemate", he thought of the one that was the easiest to escape among the twenty-two paths of God - if you can't afford to cause trouble, why can't you hide from it? And this is not the case.

It's not about fighting, it's about recruiting people.

A trace of surprise flashed across Duke Abraham's indifferent eyebrows, and he quickly returned to calm.

"Then what do I get?"

"Record my extraordinary abilities or gain some knowledge about the starry sky, you choose one."

To be precise, it was the starry sky of the old days. Thoth added silently in his heart.

To Thoth's surprise, the traveler who was obsessed with the stars chose the first one. He pretended to be embarrassed and said in a meaningful tone: "You do have a variety of magic. If you only show some

It’s a little trick that’s better than nothing, isn’t it worth the loss?”

Thoth said simply: "How much you can record depends on how many methods you can let me use."

"Okay, I accept it."

Duke Abraham also saved the effort of bargaining, and there was a hint of eagerness that was not obvious on his stern and serious face.

Several of the younger members of his family have made good friends with the Mysteries, and have recorded their abilities at the demigod level. He has been curious about those magics that exude ancient charm for a long time - now at the top of the Mysteries' path, the most powerful occultist is

Standing in front of me, if I don't make a good profit, I would be sorry for his occupational disease as a record officer.
