[Western Fantasy] The mystery of life and death

Mason is huddled alone in the dark cell. He is indeed very weak, but he does not feel drowsy every day.He has been meditating in his own dark world.

To some extent, Altai's guess is very close to the truth.People who look innocent are not.

At least in the simple and pure Aranti Secret Realm, the current Mason has been able to skillfully control the psychology of most people without special magic.

Mason does intend to return to the Temple, and he has his own agenda.But the way he came back was beyond his expectation.Now though the plan has been disrupted.But things were gradually moving in the direction he hoped for.

The blindfolded black cloth was refined a few years ago, and it can no longer isolate his current spiritual power.Although Mason's vitality was limited by the special shackles and his movement was slow and weak, his spiritual power was already like the unfathomable dark sea under the night sky.Mason even needs to use the shackles that reduce the rhythm of life to cover up his current state of mental power, so as not to be noticed by the elders.

He knew that Libertas and Roca argued with the elders for him, and he also knew that Libertas had tested him when he was treated, and Roca often treated him, and the elders came to investigate, and Abelson privately He was interrogated several times, but the irascible elder often returned without success in the face of criminals who were poisoned by Yimihua and became "demented".

No one saw, in the darkness, a mocking smile appeared on Mason's pale face.

People poisoned by large doses of psychedelic hallucinogens are lethargic and delirious every day.This is also normal.The elders have repeatedly inspected him and have not found any abnormalities so far.

Mason's small cell is very lively in the quiet night.Often there are different "visitors".Mason smiled wryly in his heart.This time it was Libertas-sama again.

Ever since that madness, Mason has been mentally prepared. He knows that although he has deceived others, no matter how well he pretends, he will not be able to deceive Mrs. Libertas who raised him.

And women who are highly skilled in magic often have terrible intuitions.This made Mason feel extremely headache.

I don't know what method Libetas used, and she came in without disturbing the guards at all.Mason sensed that she had set up a barrier in the cell, which could isolate sound and breath.

Mason groaned secretly in his heart. He didn't want to lie to Libetas in his heart, but he also knew that there was no way to escape at this time, and he had to face her.

Libertas didn't untie the shackles, she just took off the black cloth blindfolded and applied soft spiritual power.Mason didn't dare to pretend to be unconscious anymore.Had to slowly "wake up".Pretending to vaguely recognize Libertas in front of him, Mason sat up slowly supporting his tired and heavy body.

Libertas looked at him sharply, but she didn't release her coercive aura.Mason wasn't sure how much she'd seen through either.

"Who do you think drugged?" Libertas asked bluntly.

Mason shook his head, he really didn't know.

Libertas didn't make things difficult for him either.It was a matter of his own safety, so there was no need for Mason to hide it.

"Did Loka fall under a secret spell?" Libetas asked suddenly.

Mason had been wary of this question for a long time, but his heart still trembled slightly.He replied in a steady voice, "I don't know." But Mason knew that Libetas would not be fooled so easily, he looked at Libetas seriously and said, "I can sense that someone is using magic in the temple, but at present I'm not sure who it is yet, I need some time." He paused, "Lorca, I can't feel any traces of the secret spell on him."

Libertas nodded.Loka was repeatedly checked by the elders.There was indeed no trace of any secret spells on him.But Libertas always felt that something was wrong.

"Where did you go during that time?" Libertas's voice softened.Like a mother.

"I don't know, I seem to have been to many places, and I can often sense traces of magic." Mason knew that this plausible answer could allow Libetas to make up for it through her own associations.Mentally disturbed people also often have confused memory, which was the norm in Mason's past life.This is also a state that Libertas is very familiar with.

Libertas sighed.Fortunately, Loka came back safely.This also proves that Mason has not turned into a demon eye.But she still had a strong intuition that there was a strong connection between Mason and Lorca's experiences during his disappearance.

"Master Libertas, can you arrange for all the high-ranking priests and guards to take turns to guard? I want to sense who is using the secret spell." Mason sincerely asked. "I think Michael's death is suspicious. I...I want to help..."

Libertas examined Mason probingly.Mason lowered his head timidly.

"Mason, I know you are an innocent child, may I ask the elders to unshackle you?"

Mason's grateful smile looked miserable, "Lord Libertas, I remember everything. The few days when I was missing was because the seal of memory had been broken. Then I seemed to go to many places in a daze. "

Libertas was shocked, and couldn't help taking a step back. She couldn't help covering her face with her hands, and Mason felt the sadness in the air, "Mason, I'm sorry!" Her voice was full of regret.Even after so many years.

"I don't know if the ceremony was successful in the end. I only know that I am still Mason, so please let me wear the shackles. For the safety of Alan Di, don't take any risks. Or just purify me and completely It's safe." Mason's tone was calm as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

Libertas felt that Mason was different from before.He is still timid and quiet, but he has a different temperament from the past.Maybe it was because the memory seal was broken.Thinking that Mason had already remembered those tragic memories made Libetas feel a great sense of guilt and remorse again, her mind was disturbed, and she had no intention of continuing the interrogation.

Mason couldn't bear it, but he had no other choice.This is the most reasonable explanation, and he finally carefully kept the real secret.

After Libertas left, Mason finally relaxed, and the quiet darkness brought him a sense of security.

Mason only told Libertas part of the truth.His memory seal was indeed broken, but not during the few days of his disappearance.But as early as many years ago when he was a teenager.

Mason knew that the mixture of truth and lies was difficult to truly identify.Yes, everyone has demons.Mason is the demon of many people.Libertas' inner demon is not Mason, but remorse.Mason knows this all too well.He knew that today was temporarily escaped.He didn't have to face Libertas anymore.In fact, Mason was very unwilling to lie to Libertas.Mason knew that Libetas had begun to suspect.But he had to.He must do his best to keep the secret in his heart—for Roca.

For Lorca's sake, this secret must sink forever into the Sea of ​​Darkness.

……

But Lorca's parents should be the real actor and actress, they used to be undercover agents.He raised such a simple son.
