Chapter 267: Auntie's Revelation
In the dark stone house, Lucia stood stiffly in front of the well, staring face-to-face at the aunt she had never met. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info she didn't have time to connect the dilapidated figure in front of her with the pride of the sky in the mouths of the clansmen, and a series of information overwhelmed her brain.
Her aunt's words just now made Lucia silent, she knew that eavesdropping on the prophecy of the gods was a multiple sin! Once the heavenly secret was revealed, it would lead to a catastrophe, not only taking her own life, but also the lives of the entire clan: "So, you fled overnight?"
"Before the gods are angry, leave the island of the Sun in exchange for your peace; Monica's mood was still unwavering.
"What secret have you heard, and why should the benevolent gods be angry?" curiosity drove Lucia to ask the question.
Monica didn't answer right away, and Lucia seemed to see a little expectation in her unchanged eyes, but more helplessness. She lowered her head again, and after a while, she opened her mouth and said, "I told the elder what I heard, so he chose to commit suicide to keep the secret. And now you're going to ask me, Lucia, have you really figured it out?"
"I'm ......," Lucia hesitated.
"You are not small anymore, you must think about the consequences of everything first, and don't act willfully. Monica snorted again when she said this, with bitterness and self-deprecation, "Lucia, you must always remember that I am embarrassed now, this is the end of willful nonsense!"
"I see, Aunt Monica. Lucia bowed her head, she knew that this was her aunt's first and probably the only time she had taught her.
"But if the time comes, you'll know the secret. Monica's words shifted, "When you become strong, the responsibility on your shoulders is much heavier. You, and the people around you, may be able to break this knot, maybe, maybe, maybe......"
After a few revelatory words, Monica fell into her painful memories again: "After leaving the island of the Sun, I came to Agrim, and I met him in this land!" Monica paused at this point, and she sighed softly, "Soon, he and I fell in love. Although I possess great magic, it is also the first time I have left my hometown, and I am ignorant of the world and rely on him at every turn. He was also very kind to me, and I thought at one point it was the right thing to do to leave the island of Rihuan, until he told me the plan and asked me for help, that I realized that I had been on a thief ship and could never get off again. ”
"Wait, is that person you're talking about from the Golden Order?" Lucia recalled the sorceress recorded in Jesalph IV's crystal prism, "You killed the king!"
"He begged me to ask the king about the secrets of the underground palace, but the process was very difficult. Monica said slowly, "I used a lot of methods, but to no avail. ”
Hearing this, Lucia's emotions became a little excited: "Do you know that you are aiding the abuse?"
"I don't know, what the person I love asks me to do, I'll do it, and I don't care about anything else. Monica said lightly, "Besides, the death of an unvirtuous king in exchange for a wise monarch may be a great thing." ”
But the unvirtuous king died, but the wise monarch did not. The two princes are fighting openly and secretly, and Egrem is no longer what it used to be!" Lucia was momentarily excited, and suddenly remembered Dora's words. At the beginning, she was still laughing at her for her false justice, but now almost the same words come out of her mouth, but they are so righteous and strict.
"Didn't you show up?" Monica's eyelashes drooped, "and that's a good thing!"
Lucia didn't understand what her aunt meant, and when she was about to ask, Monica was ahead of her.
"I did a lot of things for him, and even didn't hesitate to open the door of the Demon Realm for some purpose, so much so that I mistakenly attracted the dark demon Siwu!"
"I've never heard of that name!" Lucia rummaged through her mind again, but it was a blank slate.
"It's from the Demon Realm, it's not an ordinary thing, how can it appear in those books written by humans. Back then, it took advantage of my unpreparedness and left the demon world with me, and then suppressed its demonic nature because of my abundant spiritual power. But when I was killed and thrown into the well, the dark demon was no longer uncontrollable, left my body, and fled into the sea through the undercurrent at the bottom of the well. This demon beast is formless, but it is good at devouring sentient beings, and its ability will also increase. ”
Isn't this the culprit that made the mermaids trapped in Blue Water City for thirty years? Lucia's heart beat faster again, it turned out that this curse was actually planted by her own family, and now she recalled the faces of Sennao and Diama, and felt even more embarrassed: "So, is there any way to destroy it?"
Monica shook her head lightly and said, "This demon beast can devour all lifeforms that come close to it. As long as you're still thinking, you can't escape its palm. ”
"Blood...... Isn't it okay for blood demons?" Lucia whispered the name.
Monica didn't make as much fuss as Lucia thought, she still said lightly: "The blood demon may have the ability to escape, but it can't be killed. Everything in the world, as long as you can think, cannot come close. ”
"Oops......" Lucia felt a pang of chagrin in her heart, she patted her head and squatted down.
Monica didn't care about her niece's emotions and took it upon herself to steer the conversation to the part she was interested in. As if talking to herself, she kept her eyelids down, and instead of looking at Lucia, she spoke alone: "At that time, I trusted him, and he did it when he was happy with me. Pity my naturally proud son for dying so miserably. Later, the two of them dumped my body here. Seeing that my soul is not resting, he actually locked me with the Forbidden Soul Heavenly Lock I brought!
"You just said 'the two of them'?"
"Yes, he and his mistress. ...... hum" Monica suddenly smiled, not a smile of joy, but a bitter smile, with a thick desolation, "I didn't even know about their relationship after I died, I was completely deceived!"
"Who are those two you are talking about!" Lucia puffed out, "I'll help you get revenge!"
Hearing this, Monica slowly raised her head and stared at Lucia quietly for a long time: "Child, this is my own doing, and I shouldn't have involved you." At this point, Monica's voice was slightly warm, "When I was trapped here day after day, I used to hate them to the core, and all I thought about was how to get revenge. But after a long time, my will gradually weakened, and one day I figured out that the so-called love and hatred are just fleeting. At this time, you opened the Forbidden Soul Heavenly Lock! All kinds of things were supposed to be God's punishment for me, but now I am also complete!"
Lucia saw Aunt Monica's figure gradually become transparent, and she realized that she was about to be separated from her loved one she had never met before. Sadness stirred Lucia's tear ducts, and the mask of her usual strength was finally removed at this moment, and she began to cry bitterly.
At this point, Lucia has no relatives left! She can only survive alone in the lonely world, like a kite with a broken string, no one cares where it will float.
Monica's face was dyed with a sparkling light, her broken body gradually healed, and her clothes returned to their original appearance. She knew her time was up, and she had been waiting in the well for thirty years. But looking at her young niece, she was reluctant to give up, and she stretched out her hand to wrap the painful girl around her chest.
Lucia couldn't feel Aunt Monica's strength, but she could draw warmth from the light around her, she raised her head and stared at Monica's face that was very similar to herself, and the latter smiled slightly: "I can see in your eyes a man who has extraordinary abilities and extraordinary wisdom, and you can become a god or a demon by following him, everything is good and self-sufficient." ”
"Aunt Monica, you're right. Lucia choked back tears, "That person's name is Xuanyu, and it's a blood demon. Since you have the ability to break through the Triple Heavens, can you tell me if there is a way to separate the two of us?"
"This is a heavenly opportunity, and it cannot be said. But if you ask, I can only reveal one thing, even if it is a meeting gift for you. There is a way, but it comes at a cost. Monica said slowly.
"It's good to have a way! It's good to have a way!" At this moment, Lucia seemed to see the light of hope, and the person was inspired.
The corners of Monica's mouth, which gradually disappeared, rose slightly: "I'm afraid that you will change your mind then." ”
"I've made up my mind!" Lucia was stubborn, suddenly remembering her original intention of entering the stone house, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, do you know about the underground palace?"
"Know...... ...... Monica's spirit body became fading more and more, she closed her eyes and blocked Lucia's expectant gaze, "This matter is extremely dangerous, you better leave it alone!"
"I'm already in it, otherwise I wouldn't have touched this monastery!" said Lucia eagerly, knowing that her aunt's time was coming soon!
Lucia's words made Monica's expressionless face rise with a slight surprise: "So...... You...... Know...... Akulan?"
"Akulan?" Lucia shook her head, going over the name in her head.
"It seems you'...... I don't know ...... yet," Monica whispered, "you...... You don't have to...... In vain...... Akulan...... Doesn't show ...... Those ...... in your head In the Classics...... Since I don't know...... Then let it go...... It's still too late. ”
As soon as the words fell, Monica's spirit flashed two or three times, and some of her eyebrows had disappeared: "Goodbye, my niece, thank you for saving me! There is still a long road ahead, please persevere!"
Lucia reluctantly stretched out her hand to her aunt, but she couldn't catch anything, only the crystal light between her fingers, like fireflies, slowly drifted into the air. The image of the aunt became weaker and weaker, and finally the silhouette was distorted, and the human form was no longer visible.
"Lucia!" an eager voice came from behind him.
The moment she turned around, she wiped her eyes as if nothing had happened, Lucia had to collect her emotions as soon as possible, her heart beat suddenly, and there was a bad premonition that clung to her heart.
Appearing at the door of the stone house was Dean Angela, who was panting and full of shock: "Duo...... Dora has been captured!"
Lucia's eyelids jumped violently, and it seemed that the situation had gone in an uncontrollable direction.
