Chapter 2: A Sense of Urgency

In April in the southern continent, the spring is warm, the drizzle falls all night, the morning dew is dotted with emerald green, and the scene is full of vitality.

Liam sat on a wooden bench, the shade of the trees covering his cheeks, the wind blowing, the leaves rustling, and a few birds singing softly among the treetops.

The bookmark was inserted, the "Mythological Biography" was closed, and the footsteps were already near.

"Good morning, beautiful Ms. Kelly." Liam had a gentle smile on his face.

It has been a week since the Grim Reaper inheritance that night, the soul has fully adapted to the body, all functions have been fully restored, and the whole person exudes youthful vitality, and gives people a humble and restrained steady.

"Good morning." Kelly, a 34-year-old woman, became a nun at the Silvermoon Church many years ago because of the breakdown of her relationship with her husband and the lack of children as a bond, taking care of some trivial tasks of the church.

As for taking care of Liam, it was because of a misguided judgment by the church.

He pulled his hand into his long skirt and sat down next to him.

"A biography of myths? Haven't you fully recovered your memory? Kelly asked.

Liam had a bitter expression, "A lot of things can only be remembered, and a lot of knowledge has been forgotten. ”

"It will be all right, and the goddess will bless the devout believers." Kelly drew her hands on her chest for a month and a half.

Liam secretly amused, he is not religious, if the goddess has a spirit in the sky, knowing that there is an heir to the god of death who believes in him, I don't know if there will be thunder in the sky. Oh, the goddess is the god of night and wisdom, and the thunder seems to be the authority of the god of storms....

"Ms. Kelly, about Jiao Li..."Liam was still a little distressed by this infatuated girl.

The topic was a bit heavy, and Kelly sighed in a low voice, "There are so many children in the orphanage, how many of them can be adopted, and besides, they are still a baron." Liam, you don't have to blame yourself too much, the matter is over, the goddess once said, 'The wood is done', now I just hope you can treat her well, don't let down her infatuation. ”

"I—" Liam opened his mouth, not knowing if this kind of thing should be done, or if he was qualified to come down.

"I'll try."

"Well, that's the goddess's good boy." Kelly smiled reassuringly and leaned over to kiss Liam's forehead.

Liam's heart sank as he watched the figure drift away.

The owner of this body died in a trial.

The Silvermoon Church discovers the cult's activities and finds four children who have been in contact with it.

They are taken to the church to be judged, and only devout believers will survive, and evil spirits will only perish.

The rite of judgment went smoothly, and as recorded by the Church, the vast majority of those who were tainted by demons were unable to maintain their faith and were purified in fire and light.

However, unexpectedly, Liam survived tenaciously, he was not consumed by the flames, nor was he erased by the light, and his soul withstood the judgment.

Bishop Flora used healing techniques to heal his wounds, but could not do anything about the mental wounds.

Tomorrow morning, the children of the orphanage will go to the church with Ms. Kelly to pray, during which they will meet Bishop Flora.

And Liam has accepted the inheritance of the god of death, you know, whether it is in the "General History of the Continent" or "Mythological Biography", the god of death Kurag is synonymous with calamity in the second era.

In a sense, he is the biggest pagan of the Church.

"Bishop Flora's probing must be circumvented." After receiving the inheritance, Liam fell asleep again for three days and three nights.

When she woke up in the morning, she met Kelly and Jiao Li, who were praying for herself by the bedside, and when she found that she could move, she told herself that she was going to church to pray.

Therefore, he used his body as an excuse to postpone for a week, and on the surface he was making up for knowledge, but in fact, he was secretly preparing a ritual.

Deep in the brown pupil of Liam's left eye, a pitch-black book flipped silently, each page painted with strange, twisted, and evil rituals, along with notes and instructions for each symbol.

"The so-called inheritance is actually a book, and it has many names, such as: "The Book of Death", "The Book of the Dead", "Notes of the Wall Family".

Countless people are looking for this book that records all the madness and evil, it is said that he is alive and will find a host on his own, it is said that he is the soul of the Grim Reaper, the key to the resurrection ritual of the Dark Society, and all the rumors are telling Liam a message.

The creatures who got this book, none of them ended well.

Liam knew that the book was a scourge, but there was nothing else he could do, because after he became the owner of the book, he almost lost control of himself on the first night.

Although it was only for a moment, it shocked Liam beyond measure, and it meant that the countdown to loss of control and death meant that he could no longer be a normal person.

In order not to get out of control and become a monster or be discovered and erased by the Church, Liam must immediately find a solution.

"Demon Sealing Reversal Ritual." Liam muttered in a low voice, a ritual to seal an object with a demonic aura in the body of a living being, so that it would not disperse, and even the Holy Water of the Church could not lift the film.

This is exactly what Liam needs at the moment, the strength in him is like a rebellious beast, ready to break out of the cage, and the cage that imprisons the beast is already scarred.

A week of preparation, consciously or unconsciously, to get together the required supporting materials, and now only the last one is the most critical main material.

At this moment, a gray mouse fell from the tree, and it turned over on the ground with difficulty, as if it had a cerebral thrombosis for ten years, and crawled over with uncoordinated limbs.

The rat climbed up the bench along its trouser legs, and with great effort it turned its head on its back, then opened its mouth in greater and larger increments, eventually splitting its entire head to 180 degrees.

A small, delicate, pink-carved skeleton emerged from within.

"Harpy, is there a catch?" Liam asked in a low voice.

The little skeleton shook its head.

Liam frowned, this is a problem, the most important main material in front of him cannot be found, and the ritual cannot be carried out.

"Hey, little old man basking in the sun!" A playful voice came from behind, and you didn't have to guess to know that it was Jack the Trickster.

The little skeleton was startled, and immediately put on a rat skin and crawled into Liam's clothes.

"Hi, Jack." Liam immediately changed his smile, "Why are you free to look for me today?" What about your dear Mira? ”

As soon as he talked about Mira, Jack's face immediately shrugged and said depressedly, "She's in a bad mood today." ”

"How did you offend the gentle Miss Mira? Tell me about it! Liam asked, intrigued.

"I don't know, but this morning I went to eat with her as usual, and she ignored my love and told her jokes in exchange for a burst of ridicule. Liam, why do you say this woman is always weird for a few days, like... It's like being possessed by a demon. ”

"Jack, don't talk nonsense, if Miss Kelly hears it, you'll be comfortable."

"Hey, hey, she's not there." Jack said this, and his body was still looking from side to side honestly.

Liam whispered, "Do you want to know why Mira, who is usually gentle, has changed her temperament so much?" ”

Jack's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "You know?" ”

"Of course!" Liam replied confidently.

"Tell me about it."

"That's because—" Liam sat up straight again, looking smuggled.

Jack felt as if he was being scratched by a kitten at this time, and he couldn't say anything about it, so he hurriedly asked, "You said it." ”

"You don't believe it, so forget it."

"You're really boring, how do you know I don't believe it if you don't say it?"

"You really want to hear it?"

"Hmm."

"Actually.... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Liam picked up the book and got up to leave.

"Ah, dear Liam! Liam-sama! Liam-sama! Don't make fun of me. Jack hurriedly stopped his way.

Liam looked embarrassed, was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "In this way, everything is important to listen to the eyes is to believe it, as long as you are obedient, I will let you see Mira's secret with your own eyes, and you can also cure her of this disease." ”

"Mmmmmm Jack nodded repeatedly, his expression sincere. (Paige, a puppy at the orphanage.) )。

"You can't just say it, you have to swear to the goddess." Liam didn't give up.

Jack thought for a moment, and finally bit his heart with a cross tooth, "I, Jack, swear to the benevolent Goddess of the Silver Moon. In order to find out why Mira's temperament has changed so much, she is willing to listen to Lord Liam's command. If you break this oath, you will... Just be single for the rest of your life! ”

"What a ruthless oath!" Liam was immediately impressed by Jack.

"Let's talk about it now."

"Of course!" Liam whispered, "This way, this way, that's it..."

Jack's face became more and more ugly, and his three views were almost collapsing, and when he heard them all, he almost roared.

"I... Do I really want to do this? ”

"For Mira, for the love of my heart, just gossip is nothing." Liam patted his shoulder encouragingly.

"But if it's discovered... I... I'm going to be a pervert. "Jack's heart is struggling.

Liam shrugged, "I've already told you the how, whether to do it or not to do it, it's none of my business, Jack, goodbye." After speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he strode away.

The little mouse poked its head out of his clothes, and he saw Jack crouching on the ground, scratching his head with both hands.
