In the form of a corpse?

Lumian's heart slowly sank when he heard it.

If Raymond's body was released from the cycle due to sacrifice, he would not be able to be resurrected through the cycle. Once the anomaly in Kordu Village was lifted, he would be truly dead rather than missing.

Although Lumian is reluctant to admit that a silly guy like Raymond is his friend, we have known each other for almost five years. We have played together, played pranks together, and experienced many things together. There is no way we can treat them as strangers. strangers to look at.

Looking back on the past, he found that besides Aurore, Raymond was probably the person he had the most contact with.

Doesn't Aurore often say "the stupider the person, the more blessed he is"? Why is this so? Lumian couldn't help but retort:

"Even if it turns into a corpse, there is still a spirit, and the cycle will be triggered."

Aurore sighed softly:

"Perhaps the being who was sacrificed was not interested in spirit and only wanted flesh and blood?

"Maybe she didn't want to trigger the cycle, so she only asked for the flesh and blood, not Raymond's spirit, so she left him in Kordu or destroyed him directly?"

That way, Raymond's body would be pure matter without spirituality and could leave the cycle without causing a restart.

Hearing his sister's rhetorical question, Lumian instantly replayed what might have happened in his mind:

After everyone left the water, Raymond was swimming farther away when he was suddenly pulled by his legs by an invisible force, covered his mouth, and was dragged deep into the river, where he drowned.

Afterwards, his spirit remained at the bottom of the river or was destroyed, while his body drifted to an unknown place and became a sacrifice...

Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly had inspiration:

"Whether Raymond's spirit is left behind or destroyed, once the cycle is restarted, he should also appear, in the form of a ghost."

"That's logically correct." Aurore nodded as if thinking, "After dark, I will hold a psychic ceremony to see if I can find Raymond's spirit. Well, it's best to have him." Commonly used objects serve as media.”

Lumian responded without hesitation:

"After exploring the castle in the afternoon, I will go to Raymond's house. Anyway, his parents want to find me to ask about his whereabouts."

When the time comes, with the skills of the "Hunter" and Lumian's alertness, it will not be difficult to obtain an item that Raymond used.

"Okay." Aurore didn't object.

Lumian took a breath and asked:

"Aurore, uh, sister, are you still psychic?"

"As a 'Peeper,' I know a little bit about everything." Aurore laughed at herself, "How was your conversation with those three strangers?"

Lumian hurriedly recounted his conversation with the mysterious lady and his discussions with Lain, Liya, and Valentine, exactly as they were. Of course, that person's prayers were not involved.

Aurore listened quietly and sighed quietly:

"It is very dangerous to take the initiative to accept pollution, but in order to explore the ruins of the dream, unlock the secrets there, and find the key to breaking the cycle, I can only do this. I feel sorry for you..."

"What's there to feel aggrieved about?" Lumian patted his chest, "I'm trying to save myself."

Aurore nodded slightly:

"The gray amber can be used in my bottle of perfume, and the lilacs are at home. I also have the musk and the materials for making candles. Only the tulips have to be found elsewhere.

"Well, I remember Mrs. Poialis's garden has it, but I don't know if it blooms."

"It's open." Lumian was very sure.

In the last cycle, when he and Aurore went to the castle to borrow a carriage, they found that many flowers were in bloom in the garden, which was not in line with the state of early spring in the mountains.

Aurore said "hmm":

“Anyway, you’re going to explore the castle in the afternoon, so you can pick a few flowers along the way.

"After that, it was also the lady who sent these things to the ruins of the dream world?"

"Yeah." Lumian thought this should be the case.

Aurore thought for a while and then said:

"Before setting off in the afternoon, I will give you the 'Integrity Brooch'. Mrs. Pualis's castle is obviously very dirty, and it may involve undead. It can play a very big role."

"No need, you stay by your side to be on guard against Mrs. Pualis." Seeing that his sister wanted to persuade her, Lumian hurriedly explained, "That Valentine is a very fanatical believer in the 'Eternal Burning Sun'. According to you, he As an Extraordinary, you should choose the 'Sun' path, which is more effective than the 'Integrity Brooch'."

According to Aurore's observations in the past few years, fanatical believers in the "Eternal Blazing Sun" often choose the "Sun" path.

This is also true in reverse. Believers of "Eternal Blazing Sun" who choose the "Sun" path will often become more and more fanatical, unless they don't believe in this true God from the beginning.

"That's right." Aurore stopped insisting and ordered instead, "You can practice the simple method to activate spiritual vision. Then, take a nap at noon to replenish your energy. I will teach you what is needed for the ritual in the evening. Ancient Hermetic, Hermetic words.”

Waiting for his sister's words, Lumian suddenly remembered something she often said when working on manuscripts:

"Time is tight and the task is heavy."

…………

At 3:20 in the afternoon, the side of the hill where the Administrator's Castle is located.

Lumian saw Mrs. Pualis wearing a slightly fluffy gray-blue exquisite long dress, with her hair in a mature and elegant bun, and walking towards the village with her personal maid Cassie.

When their backs were far away, Lumian quickly turned around and walked to the back of the hill.

Lain, Liya and Valentine have been waiting here for a long time. They are still dressed as before, and there is no sign of any preparation.

Lumian glanced at their empty hands and asked in surprise:

"No weapons?"

Wearing a brown tweed top, light yellow trousers, black leather shoes, and a dark round hat, Lai En, who is just over 1.7 meters tall, smiled slightly and said:

"I don't need to carry my weapons with me."

Valentine, wearing a white vest and blue tweed jacket, then said:

"I don't need a weapon."

"This is my weapon." Liya, who was wearing a white pleated cashmere tight skirt, an off-white coat, and Marcel boots, pulled out a pistol from somewhere.

The pistol was silver-white in color, small and exquisite. Liya also pulled out the magazine and let Lumian see the bullets of different colors with different patterns and symbols engraved inside, and casually introduced:

"They have different extraordinary effects."

Snap, she put the magazine back, hid the pistol, and then asked Lumian with a smile:

"What weapons did you bring?"

One of you doesn't need a weapon, one doesn't need to carry a weapon, and the other has such a beautiful and powerful pistol, which makes me look stupid... Lumian turned around silently, lifted up the dark jacket on the back, revealing the iron in the belt. Black ax.

Before Lai En and others could speak, he sighed and said:

"You guys do act like extraordinary beings and I act like a gangster villain ready for a fight."

Liya Dingdang laughed:

"You know how to laugh at yourself."

"It's better to laugh at yourself than to be laughed at by others." Lumian pointed to the back of the steep hill, "Climb up now, we can't waste any more time."

"Okay." Liya, who was wearing a tight skirt, was the first to start climbing.

She was nimble and had excellent balance. She easily reached the top of the hill with the help of a few bumps.

What's even more exaggerated is that the four small silver bells on her body did not move at all and made no sound.

Lumian followed closely behind. Although he was not as graceful and light, but with the "Hunter" potion to strengthen his body, he still used stones, tree roots, etc. as footholds to quickly climb up the previously inclimable hills. .

After standing firm, he looked back and found that Lain grabbed Valentine's shoulders and lifted him up.

Laien jumped up and landed directly on a protruding rock in the middle of the hill.

Then, he jumped again and brought Valentine steadily to the side of Lumian and Liya.

Throughout the process, he seemed to be a bit larger.

This made Lumian a little stunned:

Although this hill is not high, it is too exaggerated to climb it in only two jumps, right?

Anyway, "Hunter" definitely can't do it!

He quickly came back to his senses, looked at the dark black castle with two towers and the garden half surrounding it, and said to the three strangers:

"Let's go around to the back door."

"Wait a minute." Lain stopped him and turned his attention to Liya.

Liya said nothing and took two steps towards the back door of the castle-shaped building.

Her mouth moved, muttering something silently.

The next second, the four small silver bells tied to her veil and boots jingled.

The sound was not loud, but it was intense and urgent.

Liya turned around and said to Lumian and others:

"This road is dangerous and the problem is very serious."

Immediately afterwards, she took two steps towards the front door.

Not only did the ringing sound not stop, but it became more intense and urgent.

"You'll probably run into big trouble if you take the main entrance." Liya's tone was obviously serious, but there was a faint smile on her face.

"What about climbing through the window?" Lain asked.

Liya nodded, changed direction, and walked towards the garden.

This time, although the bell was ringing, it was very soft and slow.

"This way is fine." Liya exhaled with a smile.

Lumian, who witnessed the whole process, was a little confused and didn't quite understand what the three foreigners were doing.

Is this the action of an extraordinary person? He recalled his sister's teachings and asked:

“Is divination dangerous?”

"Yeah." Liya nodded, then turned to Valentine, "I'll explore the way first, and you'll be ready."

"Okay." Valentine responded seriously.

"What preparations?" Lumian was confused again and asked just because he didn't understand.

Liya smiled:

"Prepare to use divine magic to create flames."

So, what is the purpose of creating flames? Before Lumian had time to ask, Liya had already walked into the garden and walked along the path towards the side of the castle.

Not long after, she reached a certain window and gestured to indicate there was no problem.

"Let's go." Laien reminded simply and quickly moved closer to Liya.

Lumian and Valentine quickly followed him.

When passing by some tulips, Lumian was about to reach out to pick them, but was stopped by Lain with his forearm.

He didn't ask Lumian why he did this, he just said gently:

"Don't worry, wait until it comes out before picking it.

"If there is any accident caused by picking flowers now, our next operations will have to be cancelled."

Also... Lumian is fully absorbing the experience.

Not long after, they came to a row of windows on the side of the castle.
