Lord of the Mysteries fanfic: wake up, hermit

The story begins a week after the God War ended.

"Oh, here we come."

In the dream, Thoth was wandering in the imaginary land of Suzhou and Hangzhou. The sunset was falling in the sky, the water was shining, a wooden bridge spanned the sparkling waves, and at the end was an elegant octagonal ancient pavilion. He was sitting in the pavilion,

A cup of Longjing tea before the rain exudes the scent of mist, and a stack of exquisite lotus cakes bloom quietly.

Following His thoughtful sigh, the glow suddenly became dim, the twinkling stars adorned the dark sky, and the lotus leaves in the West Lake that originally only showed their pointed corners stretched out, amidst the lush greenery, they looked delicate and delicate.

The lotus flowers are blooming in competition, which is so beautiful - and the two figures that caused this strange movement also appear on the wooden bridge, one is dark and mysterious, and the other is plump and soft with a baby in his arms.

"Long time no see, Amani." Thoth looked meaningfully at the plump and soft woman, "And... Lilith."

"Nice to meet you, Hidden Sage."

A flash of red light appeared from the eyes of the Mother Earth, and she smiled slightly. Thoth vaguely caught a glimpse of two fangs from the corners of her gracefully curved mouth.

They sat around the white stone round table. The last time they sat at the same table like this was on the eve of the fall of the omniscient and omnipotent Creator.

"So, why did you two come to see me?"

The visitor was a guest, so he poured two cups of tea according to his custom as a human being.

"I want to ask you for a favor." Lilith took a sip of light green tea and said straight to the point, "Find someone."

"To be precise, an angel, right?"

Thoth already had the answer in his heart, and he was grateful that the Prince of Kongdai, who had defected from his clan, was still at ease.

Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly, "You are very well informed."

Thoth smiled silently, exuding the aura of a magic stick.

Condé previously loved to hang out at various dinner parties, showing off his fashion-forward attire, which, according to Medici, was a "peacock spreading its wings". After disappearing for a period of time, even those who had no right to understand the starry sky, pollution, and fallen mothers

God's low-sequence extraordinary people can also realize that something happened to him - but the vampires adopted the policy of blocking the news and whitewashing the peace, falsely claiming that Prince Kong Dai was seriously injured in the war between gods and was sleeping in a coffin.

The reason why Thoth knew better was because there were Amons everywhere.

"But apart from the fact that He is not in the coffin, there is only one thing I can be sure of." After being suicidal enough, Thoth continued, "He is not in the North. This may be a bit broad, and I need to draw a picture for you.

?”

"Good work."

A parchment map appeared on the stone table. Thoth fished out a charcoal pencil, set out from the north shore of the Sea of ​​​​Jian, and drew a long and narrow triangle. After learning about the disappearance of Kong Dai, he carefully explored one side.

It is spread all over the areas where he believes. If Kong Dai really defected because he was contaminated, then he is undoubtedly a dangerous time bomb. Whether from the perspective of responsibility or profit, Thoth will never allow such a dangerous guy to stay with him.

's territory.

"I can also be sure of one thing." Lilith said, "He has not left the Northern Continent yet."

Okay, the scope has narrowed, but not completely.

Thoth said honestly: "I thought you would give a more precise range."

"Something has obscured the call of blood, so I would like to ask you to tear through this confusion - as the best person among the twenty-two paths to see through secrets, you will definitely be able to do what I cannot.

."

"Whether it will work or not is still unknown." Thoth picked up a piece of lotus pastry and said nonchalantly, "But the probability that this matter will make me work hard is 100%."

In other words, I am very expensive and have to pay more.

"This matter is of great significance to our clan. Once it is completed, we will give you a large reward."

Lilith stretched out her hand, and along with the sound of mechanical regular operation, an equilateral triangle wrapped in large and small gears appeared above her palm, exuding a simple and restrained luster.

This is another "civilization enlightener"!

Thoth's eyes flickered for a few times and then said: "But I must have a reason to help, otherwise your dependents will question my ulterior motives."

"I can give you a voucher."

After saying that, Lilith took out a ring set with rubies.

"That's it."

In the Crescent Castle shrouded in the dark jungle, in a room with no servants and the windows tightly closed so that even mosquitoes could not fly in, Thoth roughly described the content of the dream meeting that was brokered by Amanissis.

He conveyed it to Ornia, and had some tea and snacks leisurely while she was digesting "the ancestor is still alive but wearing a vest".

"I see."

Onya suppressed her excitement and returned to her calm state.

"So, where do you want to start your investigation?"

Thoth thought for a while and said, "Kong Dai must have relatives, right? What is their current situation?"

When Thoth was looking at the relatives of Prince Kongdai who were shrouded in fear, depression and resentment one by one because they had been under surveillance for a long time and had gone through many interrogations, a castle fell in a red pine forest in the north.

Yes, "fall". It was not built brick by brick by craftsmen for several years, nor was it raised from the ground by a miracle worker who made a wish. It was a small gift given to the angel of time by the Black Emperor, named

Black Manto Castle was originally located in Backlund, next to the Egret Palace, which was the royal summer resort.

The angel of time stole it, cheated the rules of space, moved the lush pine trees, and unknowingly made an open space for the castle - even the usually alert squirrels did not scare away.

"You didn't ask for a fief or a title. You only asked for such a castle and placed it where no one would visit. The nobles had nowhere to visit and couldn't send letters." Adam appeared quietly in the rolling pine.

In the snow of Guo, "This is a wise choice."

"I have not surrendered to Solomon, so he naturally has no right to grant me a title." Amon sneered, "Fiefs and titles should be left to his loyal ministers, such as Zoroastrian."

The door is opened, and the facilities inside are all-inclusive, even luxurious. The dense carpet exudes a cozy warmth, the fireplace is carved with an angel holding a silver vase, colorful enamel containers are placed next to it, and the couch is covered with red

Velvet is even more comfortable than an ordinary bed...

Everything is in order, they are waiting for the master to come and the servants to manage.

The insects of time separated from Amon one by one, some turned into gentle old housekeepers, some turned into laundry maids wearing aprons, some turned into chefs wearing top hats, and some turned into work clothes.

Gardeners wearing trousers, some turned into coachmen with long whips... They complained and used their bodies with peace of mind while walking into their respective workplaces to make the castle run.

Amon thought thoughtfully, "It seems like something is missing."

Adam thoughtfully suggested, "Aristocratic families often keep pets."

"That makes sense."

So a Time Worm turned into a black cat with only a white circle around its right eye. It was the only lucky one who didn't have to do anything - if it really had any mission, it was to give the Hidden Sage

What a surprise, when He was still Him, there used to be such a furry little animal.

At the same time, the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, the legal certificates related to Black Manto Castle have been submitted to His Highness Amon."

Although the certificate would most likely be a piece of waste paper to Shi Angel, who always doesn't play by common sense, the necessary procedures must be followed.

Solomon nodded, indicating that he understood, but he caught a glimpse of the hesitant look on his secretary's face.

"What else?"

"His Royal Highness moved the Black Manto Castle. There was only an open space where the castle was originally built." The attendant tried his best to calmly state this move that he thought was too shocking for the world. "As for where it was moved, please forgive me for not knowing.

Know.”

"Let Him do it."

Solomon didn't care. He frowned tightly. Compared with what the spies had just discovered, the whereabouts of a castle were insignificant.
