Lord of Secrets

Horus was slightly surprised when he heard the slow footsteps. After staying in this village for a few days, he knew that no one would go out at night.

At night on Dillafield Peak, the fog will spread from the top of the mountain downwards. Ordinary people are like blind people outside the house. Even if they hold candles or oil lamps, the weak light liquid cannot drive away the darkness, and can only illuminate a place within a range of about 1 meter at most.

So basically at night, most villagers will turn off the lights and go to bed in order to work hard the next day.

After hearing the sound, Horus immediately picked up the amethyst pendant beside the bed, then quietly stepped back a few steps, standing quietly by the wall, like a mummy placed upright.

The fog blocked the sound and no one outside the house heard it.

After a moment, Horus heard a "squeaking" sound, and the door slowly opened. He saw a man groping for the door frame and gently stepping across the low, worn threshold.

The opponent was about four or five meters away from Horus. The black mist prevented Horus from seeing his face clearly, but he could only slightly distinguish his figure and outline. It's just that the villagers' faces were basically the same, making it difficult for him to guess the identity of the other party.

The other party took a few steps slowly, then stretched out his right foot, tiptoed, tapped the ground, groped the terrain, and walked around the table.

The outline of the other party looks a bit familiar, but I don't know why he came here at night... Horus's black eyes were like black pearls, looking at the other party intently, thinking about what the other party wanted to do.

As the other person slowly approached the bed, Horus saw the other person's face completely, feeling a little shocked and confused.

Uncle Lem... Horus didn't say anything. The mist gave him excellent cover. He wanted to know what Uncle Lem was doing here at night.

Is there something that can't be done in the morning, but needs to be done until the villagers are asleep and hidden from them?

Arriving at the bedside, Lem stretched out his hands to search for the target on the bed, and then slowly groped for Romji's body.

After a few seconds, he cursed under his breath: "Damn it, where is that thing?"

What... Hearing Lem's voice, Horus narrowed his eyes quietly, a little curious about what the other party was looking for.

Moreover, Lem's performance tonight was very different from usual, which made Horus couldn't help but think about whether everyone is still the same on the surface as they are on the inside?

Horus then looked down.

For a moment, he saw Lime find the candle in the room, and then lit it. The dim candlelight slowly spread, but it was only limited to Lime's surroundings.

Horus stared at Lem carefully, and would slowly back away as long as the other party came close.

Rhyme was not worried that the candlelight would attract other people. The mist bound the candlelight and prevented him from seeing the light unless he was close to him.

Immediately, he began to search carefully in the house. Whether it was a worn-out cabinet or under the bed, Lime searched carefully.

Horus moved slowly as Lem moved.

Unfortunately, more than ten minutes later, Lem came to the bed with an ugly face and sat next to Romji's body.

His body was moved and searched on the bed.

Lime's eyes looked calm, like a cold-blooded animal, without any emotion.

After more than ten seconds, Lem stopped what he was doing, his expression was a little happy, twisted and angry, and he said: "Uncle Romji, you are finally dead."

After a moment of silence, his eyes were like ancient wells without any waves, as if he was saying to himself: "You always thought that I didn't know and pretended to take care of me. But I always understood that my parents died because of you. in hand."

Horus felt that he heard some secrets, and then he concentrated on it.

"The bloodline of Odes, the legendary god-killing dagger, we have always known what you are looking for, looking for the legacy of Nadamonas.

"From the legacy of my ancestors, I know that we are also the blood of Odes, but why can that secret only be mastered by you? A hundred years ago, my ancestors were brutally dealt with by your lineage."

As if venting his anger, Lime suddenly smiled and said, "But what you don't know is that he also had an illegitimate child outside, and he passed on the secret. In the end, the illegitimate child's heir pretended to have amnesia and was seriously injured and came to the village. , and married your great-aunt.

"It's just that he also wanted the complete secret, but unfortunately he couldn't get it, and in the end he died unexpectedly.

"But that manuscript has been kept, and my parents have been close to you because of it, wanting to get everything from you. But your lineage is still very treacherous, and you have not left anything behind. However, in the end, my parents still came from You learned part of the secret, but they were also killed by you when they were discovered."

A family ethics drama... Horus shook his head slightly when he heard Lem's confession.

At this time, Lime's eyes were deep, like a black whirlpool, and he continued: "I was only eight years old at that time. You thought I didn't know anything and didn't take action against me. But I knew that the killing weapon The Dagger of God can gradually absorb the blood of the adult descendants of Damonas, thus unlocking some secrets."

"You accidentally absorbed their blood with the God-killing Dagger. This must have made you very excited, because you originally thought that our family's bloodline from Odes was very thin, but that accident made you focus on me."

"It's just that I was still underage, so you never took action, and I also had a good relationship with Sienbi and the others. Unfortunately, when I became an adult, I felt the danger and left the village. I didn't come back until six years ago."

Lime suddenly mocked:

"You must have been very angry then!

"That secret is our obsession, so after I came back, I didn't do anything to you, because I also wanted to know the complete secret and get the legacy of the 'God'."

Lime's eyes were a little hot, and suddenly they were extinguished. He continued:

"Although you were old at that time, I was also worried that you would do something to me, so I was very cautious during the time I came back. I stayed awake at night to guard against you, but you never did anything. Although I don't know why you didn't stab me with the God-killing Dagger, I know that maybe you don't like me anymore."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of danger in Lime's eyes. He said in a low voice: "I guess you must have killed Semby and Tess because you couldn't get me, so you targeted them. With Semby's blood, you think I'm useless."

Lime lied to me. He should not have returned to the village when Semby died... Horus was like an owl in the dark. He stared at Lime in the dark, thinking constantly in his heart.

Lime shook his head, a look of pity on his face, and said: "It's a pity for Snebi and the others. His playmates approached him with a purpose, and his father just treated them as a thing."

In the room, only the candlelight was swaying.

After a long time, Lime said with some regret: "You are dead, but it's a pity that I can't get the location of the God-killing Dagger from you, that damned outsider."

He took a deep look at Romci, and then said: "But I still have a long time to find it."

Then, he slowly stood up, extinguished the candle, and walked out of the door, saying in a deep voice: "Horus must also die. He will definitely not be able to escape after entering the vicinity of Dirafi Peak. That kind of power should be controlled by me."

In the darkness, Horus quietly came to the door and watched Lime slowly leave while grabbing a silk thread not high from the ground.

I can't leave... Can only the descendants of Damonas or Ossanni leave the village... Horus looked at the surrounding fog and thought.

He sorted out everything in his mind:

Some of these villagers should have been left before the disaster, and finally intermarried with the descendants of Odysseus. Today, there should be many descendants of Odysseus in the village, but the blood relationship should have faded.

If Damonas wanted the descendants of Ossanni to die, he should have let me get lost in the fog instead of letting people take the descendants of Ossanni to the top of the Dilafi Peak.

Horus got some information from the "White Rose of Betrayal", but still couldn't solve his confusion.

The only explanation may be that Ossanni or someone else intervened and prevented his power from spreading. Or the information in the "White Rose of Betrayal" is all false.

After a long time, Horus looked around, and then began to look for things left by Romtz or his ancestors.

He wanted to know more.

Walking slowly in Romtz's room, Horus even knocked on the wall to see if there was a hole in the wall, but he couldn't find the hole through this.

In ten minutes, he searched the whole room, but like Lime before, he didn't find anything.

He turned his head and looked around, and suddenly noticed that the mud wall at the corner of the bed was slightly different from the surroundings. It must be that the other mud walls looked newer, as if they were repainted later.

Horus thought about it. Romci was a "psychic" and should be the next life of the "tombkeeper". He could summon a "tombstone" just like himself.

Therefore, the sealed hole in the wall was a good choice for him.

But whether he would leave the recorded secrets or burn them, Horus didn't know.

But you can give it a try!

Horus's fingertips gushed out spirituality, as if outlining some symbols. After a moment, he summoned a small "tombstone".

The tombstone was a little damaged, like a stone tablet that had been weathered, as if it would break at the touch.

It was written in Guramos: Tomb of Horus Furieus.

But these words were a little blurry, as if they had been scraped.

Then, he carefully sensed the breath inside the "tombstone".

It was a faint smell of decay, different from the breath of death of life. Everything will decay, which is also a breath of death.

Antiquities or other objects have this breath of death. The breath of death of each object is different because it is mixed with other things. The "tombkeeper" can roughly judge the antiquities, but cannot judge the time.

As for the sealed object, it is something that has died once, and there is no breath of death, but it will be mixed with the surrounding breath.

So Rom's breath of death covered the breath of the sealed object, and Horus could not judge.
