Chapter 34: Sayings
Lumian observed, and walked through the process of "getting acquainted" with Leah and the others, until the two sides came to the outside of the church of the "Eternal Sun".
He preliminarily confirmed that the three outsiders really did not "know" themselves and were unwary of the corresponding "pranks".
Is it really time back...... Lumian was in a trance for a moment.
"We've been here, and there's no one." Valentine looked at the magnificent building in front of him that melted into the night, and said the line "predetermined".
Lumi calmed down and stopped following the process.
He said directly:
"That's because the parish priest doesn't want to pay attention to you."
He intends to leave the impression in the eyes of these three outsiders who are suspected of being official extraordinaries that they "love to joke but have not a bad personality".
"You mean, the parish priest is inside the church, but he doesn't respond to the knock on the door because of something?" Leah thought of several possibilities.
Lumian smiled:
"Cheating in a church is not for anyone to see."
After saying this, he instinctively muttered in his heart: It's a pity that this time I can't hear the classic line "You have destroyed the actions of the Holy Church".
Of course, having learned more about Madame de Pualis, he felt that in a sense, it was not entirely unreasonable for the parish priest to say this.
Is it not permissible for the parish priest to be willing to endure temporary humiliation and sell his body in order to complete an important task, like the protagonist of Aurore's undercover novel, in order to break into the evil forces represented by Madame Poalis?
"Cheating in church?" Valentine changed his indifferent attitude and asked urgently.
Lumian spread his hands:
"What's wrong with that? This is a daily activity for the parish priest.
"You don't have to be so excited, isn't there a saying that 'it's the same throughout the ages, men always steal their mothers-in-law'?"
"But this is in church!" Valentine snapped.
Lumian thought for a moment and asked curiously:
"That is, as long as the clergy does not cheat inside the church, is it acceptable?"
"This is blasphemy against God!" Valentine looked like he was about to explode.
Ryan patted him on the shoulder, motioning for him to calm down.
At the same time, the most calm foreigner asked of Lumian:
"Do you know who the parish priest is cheating with tonight?"
Lumian shook his head:
"There are so many possibilities, his mistresses, just what I know, are Madame Poalis, Madinah. Bene, Philippa. Guillaume, Sybil. Berry ......"
"Madina. Bennet, the same surname as the parish priest? Leah was keenly aware of this.
Lumian nodded:
"She and the parish priest are cousins separated by two generations."
"......" Valentine was stunned for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Guillaume. Was Bennet a servant of God or a servant of the devil? ”
That's what you're going to say? I didn't see you blow his head out...... Lumian deliberately defended the parish priest:
"It's really nothing, there is a saying in the Dariege region, 'Distant cousins, just sleep together'."
"Why are there so many sayings?" Leah couldn't help but laugh, and the silver bell above her head jingled.
Lumien spreads his hands again:
"That's the way it is in the countryside."
At this time, Ryan asked thoughtfully:
"How do you know that we are not from the Daliege region?
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have said, 'There's a saying in Dariege.'"
You told me this yourself...... Lumian was so quick to say that he had taken what had happened "before" as information he already knew.
He had no choice but to make up the reason:
"You don't have the temperament to be like a Darje native."
He then pointed to the road leading to the village:
"I've helped you find the parish priest, and I'll have to go home."
"I thought you'd follow us in." Leah glanced at him and said with a light smile.
"I don't dare offend the parish priest." Lumian casually said, "It's been a long time since the villager who snitched last time disappeared. ”
Without waiting for Ryan and the others to respond, he waved his hand and ran to the other side of the square, saying as he ran:
"Remember to keep it a secret for me, my cabbages!"
…………
The red moon was obscured by the clouds, and Lumian walked on the country road sprinkled with starlight.
He put his hands in his pockets and thought about what had happened recently.
Towards home, Lumian paused and looked up at the roof of the half-floor-to-ground two-story building.
Sure enough, Auror, dressed in a light blue dress, was sitting there, clasping her knees, quietly staring at the starry sky.
In the night, her figure was lonely and distant.
Really repeated...... Is it possible that those things that were true before are now dreaming? Lumian had just had a new guess when he suddenly discovered two differences on March 29:
He hadn't seen the lady in the old tavern today who had given her a scepter card and taught her occult knowledge.
It made him a little confused whether he was dreaming or not.
I'm going to check tomorrow...... Lumian collected his feelings, walked to the house, and pushed the door in.
As he did last time, he climbed to the roof using the ladder on the second floor, walked briskly to Aurel's side, and sat down.
"What's there to see about this?" Lumien said deliberately.
Aurel turned his head to the side, sighed, and was about to speak, when Lumian added:
"I mean, what does stargazing mean to you?"
Aurel looked him up and down a few times:
"So direct today?"
She then looked at the starry sky again, and said in a quiet tone:
"You know, I'm not from Cordu, I'm not from Dalege.
"I don't know if you've ever heard a saying that the one who can't go back is your hometown......"
Lumian wasn't joking, and looked at the starry sky.
When Aurore flew into her bedroom and wrote a letter to her pen pal, Lumian returned to the second floor the same way as she had been, and talked to her sister about the pen pal for a while.
Then, he helped Aurel with the door and walked back to his bedroom.
Looking at the white four-piece bed, Lumian's heart suddenly moved, and he walked over and lifted the pillow.
Lying quietly under the pillow is a card, the Tarot Minor Arcana card representing the "Seven of Wands"!
Looking at the resolute man on the card, dressed in green, holding a scepter against enemy attacks, Lumian suddenly thought of the lady's interpretation of the card:
"Crisis, Challenge, Confrontation, Courage ......"
The more Lumian thought about it, the more he felt that these four words really revealed his current situation.
Before drawing cards, he is most likely already in crisis and facing challenges!
The next thing you need to do is to muster up the courage to confront the problem? Wait, haven't you turned back the clock? I haven't even met the lady yet, I haven't drawn a card yet, why is it here? Lumian was frightened for a while, and he was not very sure of his previous guess.
All sorts of thoughts and inferences quickly popped up in his mind, like bubbles gurgling in boiling water.
This made Lumian's head swell and ache, and he felt like he was going crazy.
Eventually, he made the lady and the items she gave "exceptional" for the time being, so that his thoughts would not explode.
With the mystery and particularity shown by that lady, it is a normal development to not be affected in the back of time!
If I can find her tomorrow and she still knows me, then there is nothing wrong with my inference...... Lumien exhaled, producing a mental exhaustion.
He went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and lay down on the bed early.
…………
In the familiar, faint gray mist, Lumien awoke, turned over and sat up, and saw the wooden table and the reclining chair in front of the window.
Once again, he came to this special dream.
When he realized that the Wand card was still there, he knew he would still be able to get in.
Lumian subconsciously touched the inner pocket of his clothes, and his expression suddenly froze.
The coins are gone!
All the coins are gone!
Lumian hurriedly jumped out of bed, touched all over his body, and looked for the place where he had just been lying, but still did not find the money he had worked so hard to collect.
1 Kope's copper coins are not available!
"Time has been turned back here, too?" Lumian suddenly had such a guess.
He looked around, but didn't see the shotgun, axe, or steel fork that should have been here.
Lumian calmed down, exited the bedroom, and walked through the hallway to the first floor.
Nearly two meters of steel forks and iron-black hand axes sat intact in their original positions, the same as when Lumian first explored the Dream Ruins.
Similarly, the barrel of corn oil had not yet been placed on the stove.
As for the shotgun, Lumian searched everywhere but couldn't find it.
He was getting more and more inclined to turn back time here.
"Go and take a look in the ruins and see if those two monsters are still ......there," Lumian muttered to himself silently, grabbed his axe, and opened the door.
It didn't take long for him to reach the edge of the ruins through a wilderness full of cracks and weeds.
Unlike the first time he explored this place, as a "hunter", he just scanned it casually and found many traces left by the actions of living creatures.
As he could concentrate, he could discern that there were two creatures that often haunted the area, and the shallow footprints of one of them went around the back of the house that had been half-collapsed by the burning.
If I had such extraordinary abilities before, how could I have almost been attacked the first time I explored? Lumian carried his axe and entered the building.
He made a beeline for his "destination" and arrived at the shattered clay jar.
A touch of gold came out of it.
Lumian rolled over his back and picked up the gold louis.
It's the same color as Lumian when he first picked it up.
Indeed, time has been turned back, and with very few exceptions, everything else has returned to its "original" state...... Lumian sighed.
Suddenly, he took two quick steps forward, twisted his waist, and half-turned his body to the right.
With this powerful action, the axe in his hand slashed out.
As soon as the skinless blood-colored monster swooped down from the rooftop, it lost its target, and was greeted by an axe.
Burst!
Its head flew straight out, and its headless body slammed to the ground in the splatters of blood and pus.
PS: Revise two places.,When I wrote the last cycle, I thought about a vague date.,So I only wrote the beginning of April in general terms.,Now to determine the specific date, I think March 29 is beautiful.,No.,Anyway, there was a little error.,So I added the beginning of April to the end of March.。 Actually, if I really want to break it, I can find a reasonable reason to pull it back, but there is no need for this.
