Mystery: The Stars Returner

As Lumian's dream was shattered, Kordu Village also returned to its true appearance, with ruins, black scorch marks from the fire, and gradually drying blood sprinkled everywhere, causing the mountain peaks to be stained with blood. .

Looking from a distance, everything in the former Kordu Village seemed to be shrouded in an illusory and twisted blood-colored mist.

The only thing that seemed real to Miss Frenk was that the horse was still waiting for their return outside the village of Kordu. It was lying on the grass next to a big tree, sleeping soundly.

"This all really feels like a dream." Miss Frenck expressed her heartfelt emotion.

"This is originally a dream, and dreams can deceive people."

"Mr. Claude, are you reminding me to distinguish between dreams and reality?"

"Confused dreams can turn reality upside down."

"Well, I will try my best to overcome this." Miss Frenck got on the carriage and stretched out her hand to open the carriage curtain, then added: "Although I have gained a sad result, I still want to thank Mr. Claude for this Companion along the way.”

“It’s also been a fun trip for me.”

Miss Frank nodded, opened the curtain, stooped and walked in, letting out an excited exclamation.

The sound was so loud that the horse that was resting on the ground was frightened and woke up.

"Ah, how could it be!"

"Miss Muggle! Why are you here! Haven't you already..."

"Am I still in the dream just now?"

Snapped!

"It hurts so much. Is this reality?"

Claude outside the carriage looked at the starry sky above his head, smiled, and asked: "What happened?"

"Mr. Claude! Miss Muggle, she, she is still alive! Right in front of me, it's true!"

"Maybe this is a miracle."

In the carriage, Miss Frenk gradually recovered from the shock. She sat next to Aurore, took Aurore's hands and looked at them carefully. She kneaded them for a long time, and finally confirmed that Miss Aurore was in front of her. is real.

"Miss Muggle, I guess you wouldn't mind answering our questions?"

"The dream revealed by Lumian did indeed happen, but part of it was incomplete. And I had indeed been living in the dream before you arrived at Kordu Village." Aurore's voice was soft and slow. He slowly told what he had experienced.

A large-scale sacrificial event indeed took place in Kordu Village. She and Lumian were both selected sacrifices, and they were indeed pushed to the altar and sacrificed to the hidden existence known as the Ring of Destiny. .

In Lumian's memory, she became a container carrying the power of sacrifice and merged with the villagers of Kordu Village into a huge abominable monster. Before the sacrifice was successful, she pushed Lumian out of the altar and used the sacrifice to obtain The power that came saved him, but he himself was sacrificed.

And in her memory, after she carried the power gained from the sacrifice, a starlight landed in the distant starry sky, protecting her and preventing her from completely losing her mind.

After the sacrifice, she was like a wandering soul, living in Lumian's dream as a bystander.

She was unable to interfere with Lumian's dreams, and she could not be noticed by Lumian. It was not until Lumian recalled the memory of the priest's sacrifice and broke the time loop that she regained her body and freedom and successfully survived. come over.

She didn't want to meet Lumian and wanted him to grow up completely through this incident, so she silently left Kordu Village and came to the carriage in advance to wait.

"Oh my God!" Miss Frank covered her mouth tightly with her hand to prevent herself from being too shocked and making too rude exclamations.

"It's actually like this!" Miss Frank wanted to try hard to overcome the shock in her heart, but she couldn't. "This is amazing!"

"That starlight is..."

"My faith is in the stars." Aurore's eyes showed a pious light, "At that critical moment of life and death, it was the blessing of the stars that saved me."

"The stars...Mr. Claude, don't you also plan to join the Church of the Stars?" Miss Frank seemed to have remembered something, "Is your arrival also guided by the stars?"

"Oh, that's what happened."

An illusory light door was generated directly inside the carriage, and then Forsi's figure appeared in the empty seat next to Miss Frenk.

Miss Frank and Aurore were startled, but they quickly realized that their eyes were full of envy. This ability is so convenient!

Aurore hesitated and said: "Dear Madam, Lumian..."

"Frustration and pain are certainly excellent nutrients for growth, but I still feel that deception is not a good choice." Forsi said lightly.

"If there were no miracles granted by the stars, this would be reality. Since I survived because of the blessings of the stars, I should repay the gifts of the stars."

"Oh, the gift of the stars..." With a smile on his lips, Forsi looked up at the figure hidden by the gray carriage curtain, and chuckled: "How do you plan to repay this gift?"

"I want to go to Backlund in the Kingdom of Loen, which is the birthplace of the Faith in the Stars."

"Ah, Miss Muggle, won't you come back to Trier with me?"

"Trier, that is Lumian's stage."

"But……"

"We can still communicate through letters."

"But……"

"Miss Owl, I'm grateful that you came here from Trier to save me."

Aurore, who slowly coaxed Miss Frank, looked at Forsi and said: "Dear Madam, although I don't know much about you, I know that you are a member of the Tarot Society. Come here. The purpose is to recruit Lumian to join the Tarot Society. I believe that with your integrity and kindness, you will definitely arrange for his growth."

"Here, let me first thank you for your help to Lumian."

"In addition, I also want to ask you to keep it a secret. Don't tell Lumian the truth that I am still alive. When he grows up and becomes more mature, I will come to see him."

Facing Aurore's request, Forsi neither agreed nor refused. Her current thoughts were not here.

It’s so shameful that she didn’t notice that Aurore was still alive after being here for so long. She didn’t even know the key information that Aurore was a follower of the stars...

Could it be that He came here just to help me clean up the mess?

No, given His character, it's more likely that He came here specially to take a look at my embarrassing appearance.

Ahhhh, this is so embarrassing!

Forsi felt that her cheeks were constantly getting hot. If there were not outsiders here, she would never be able to control her mood at the moment.

She took several deep breaths to suppress the shameful feeling.

The quiet night will eventually dissipate. When the first ray of the sun's rays falls on the hilltop of Kordu Village, the golden and brilliant sun's rays spread rapidly in all directions like lighting up a cotton field.

The blood-red mist that was still misty, twisted and illusory last night was completely purified under the light of the golden sun until it turned into wisps of smoke and dispersed.

"Is it all over?"

In the dilapidated Eternal Sun Church, Lumian, who was still immersed in pain, looked at the sun gradually rising from the top of the mountain. His eyes hurt so much that he couldn't open his eyes. The sunlight was too dazzling.

At the same time, there was a burning pain in his chest, and a faint wisp of black smoke came out.

"Am I no longer worthy of living in the sun?"

Lumian smiled wryly at himself, struggled to get up and left the church, walking along the shadows that were not yet covered by the golden sunlight.

Also leaving at the same time was the carriage parked outside the village. When the golden sun rose, Claude, the carriage driver, drove the carriage back along the original road.

"The sun's rays are really dazzling today." Aurore opened a corner of the window curtain and glanced at the dilapidated village that was getting further away.

"Ms. Fors, where are you going next?" Miss Frenck asked tentatively, cautiously.

This mysterious and powerful Ms. Fors had no intention of leaving since she came to the carriage last night, which made her a little overwhelmed.

"Oh, I happen to be like you and want to go back to Trier."

"Can't you reach Trier directly through the travel portal?"

Forsi smiled brightly and said, "It is not a good sign to rely too much on one's own extraordinary abilities."

It was a rare privilege to have Mr. Claude drive him off in person, and of course the longer you experience it, the better.
