[Western Fantasy] The mystery of life and death

In the dim four fields, the howling wind and the neighing of ferocious beasts could be heard in my ears.Suddenly Lorca felt a sharp object being pierced into his back, the severe pain affected his speed, and he fell into a quagmire under his feet.

Loka felt as if his whole body was filled with lead, so heavy that it was extremely difficult to even lift his fingers.It was also getting harder to breathe.He was stuck in the mud, sinking slowly.It was dark all over the world, and he wanted to call for help but couldn't make a sound.When the swamp was about to submerge his chest, he saw members of the investigation team walking by the mud, none of them came to rescue him, and every face was blurred.

Gradually he saw clearly that it was Altai, and he was dragging a person walking slowly, the person was still alive and still struggling weakly.

Loka wanted to struggle and shout with all his strength, but he couldn't make a sound. He could only watch Altai walking towards the edge of the quagmire. The thin man in his hand was Mason.

Mason was roughly poured some water by him. As Mason struggled helplessly, a lot of water overflowed from his mouth and spilled on the ground.Vines grew quickly on the ground, and some small white flowers soon bloomed.Mason's struggle became weaker and weaker, and he gradually became immobile, and was thrown on the vines like a rag bag.

Lorca wanted to get close to him and save him, but he couldn't move.But Mason moved again, he slowly crawled towards the swamp, getting closer and closer, he raised his head, his mouth was covered with blood, the corners of his mouth were crooked, revealing the blood and white teeth, he looked at Loka smiled silently.Lorca was horrified, but he couldn't move, he could only watch Mason crawling up in front of him little by little.Mason panted like a beast, sniffed him greedily, and whispered in his ear; "Come with me, there will be no more fear, no more pain."

Mason's hand touched his chest, and suddenly he felt the sharp pain of being pierced by a sharp weapon.He looked down and saw Mason's hand pulling something from his bloody chest, black blood dripping from his fingers.Lorca was terrified and finally broke through the restraint and screamed.

…………

【Huiyue Mountain Moonlight Temple】

Luoka was awakened by the nightmare again, his heart was beating wildly in his chest, and there was still a faint piercing pain in his chest, which made him couldn't help but look down. His skin was intact, and there was a faint glow in the darkness.

Lorca could no longer fall asleep at this time, he walked to the window and looked at the dimly lit temple garden.

Another moonless night.

Since the space fission in the Wenti Basin subsided, all parts of the secret realm returned to calm, but it was dark day and night.Every day is gray and gloomy, and every night is a moonless night.Day and night are no longer distinct.

Lorca played with the broken bracelet and magic crystal fragments in his hand.It can be judged from the shape that this is the equipment of a high-level guard.He thought carefully about those high-ranking guards who liked to wear such bracelets.However, he couldn't get rid of the long and abrupt scar on Chief Guard Altai's face in his mind.But Altai didn't like to wear extra protection.According to Luoka's understanding of him - the chief guard has always been very confident in his bravery.

What was Altai doing behind his back then?Was Mike silenced by him?What did Michael see in his position?Michael finally sent Pete back to the residence.Pete was originally a major suspect, but because Altai protected him, he was recently promoted to Altai's guard.Trista's undercover investigation these days uncovers an intriguing connection.Pete has a younger brother named Barry who serves as a low-level guard in the temple. He is responsible for daily duty in the kitchen and food warehouse.

At this time, Luoka realized the painstaking efforts of Master Libertas, and for his safety, Libertas arranged for him to move him to live in her Moonlight Temple.

Distraught and unable to fall asleep anymore, Luo Ka simply changed into formal clothes and came out for a walk.Thinking of Mason in his dream, Lorca came to Mason's bedroom.The furnishings were simple and tidy, and it was clear at a glance that Mason hadn't been back since that day.

Lorca suddenly thought of something, and he went straight to the library again.Following the path in memory, he came to Mason's secret laboratory.The magic restriction at the door, Mason once taught him how to break it.

Once through the restriction of the door, the room brightens itself.Lorca looked around the secret laboratory. This is Mason's paradise, but it was not as neat as he remembered, and it was a little messy.Some precious magic crystals were randomly scattered on the ground beside the shelf.The oil lamp used for heating was overturned on the table, and the oil stained a thick book.Loka found that all the magic silver and medicine used to draw the magic circle had been emptied.This scene reminded him of the treasure house of the temple that had been emptied out of most of it.

Loka flipped through the book with him, and found that it was for the study of space formations.At that time, the spiritual turmoil in the secret realm continued one after another, and even the external passages were closed from the outside.The Presbyterian Church has been trying to find a way to go out and contact Lorca's parents, Elder Livingston and Elder Tilda.He once heard Mason say that he was worried when he saw Mrs. Libertas running around, and he hoped that he could help Mrs. Libertas.

He looked at the recliner, on which Mason liked to lie and meditate with the pillows in his arms.In front of the big desk, Mason completed many difficult and complicated magic circles with ease.He often sits behind the long desk, flipping through the thick classics, and doing quick calculations. Sometimes, without raising his head, he flicks a handful of silver powder in his hand, and a silver magic circle appears in the air. Patterns, dissociation, change, repeated discrete combinations.When Mason was immersed in those esoteric and boring magic theories, he was focused and quiet, but with a sense of complacency. His whole body seemed to radiate the gleam of wisdom. At those moments, he seemed to be sitting in a free starry sky rather than sitting in a small room. soar.

Loka pays attention to application and hates theoretical research the most, precisely because the elders think highly of him, and those old gentlemen often give him difficult problems.He had to come to Mason to help discuss.As soon as those ugly and boring theories came to Mason, they became lively and beautiful. Every time Mason interpreted them, Lorca felt that he was appreciating a poem.

Mason has a thorough and subtle grasp of the magic theory of the Alanti tribe. He helped Lorca to study how to stimulate the energy of the magic crystal more efficiently. They also researched many tricks on how to quickly stimulate spiritual power in battle.Lorca often feels sorry for Mason. With Mason's talent, the title of "the youngest chief priest in history" should belong to Mason.He didn't know why the Presbyterian Council didn't allow Mason to participate in the trial, but only asked him to wipe the dust in the library, tidy up the sundries, and be the assistant of Lord Libertas.

Think of Mason's madness in the cell.Lorca's heart seemed to be tangled in a big hand.What happened to Mason?Why did he suddenly become what the elders called "Evil Eyes"?What the hell does Mason know!

Since discovering that Mason's diet contains a high concentration of refined Imita, the Presbyterian Church began to strictly control Mason's diet.But he still hasn't gotten better.Lorca felt that the elders were not even willing to treat him, as if they wanted him to remain insane.

Lorca realizes that his murderer is also targeting Mason.Did Mason discover something?Lorca thought of Michael's death.Mason almost got hit like that.What did Michael and Mason know that made them have to do it?

There was a thick notebook on the coffee table beside the recliner, and Lorca recognized that Mason often wrote down some creative ideas and thoughts in it.

Loka sat on the recliner and slowly looked through.There are a lot of thoughts on the magic of the Mirror Lake Clan, and there are many very unique viewpoints on the study of the Mirror Dream Crystal.That was what Lorca asked him to help with the research. After all, in order to pursue the princess of the Mirror Lake Clan, Master Albina would not be too mediocre in the investigation.

Flipping and flipping, Loka's expression became serious.He stood up slowly, the hand holding the note was trembling.

On that page was a design drawing of a set of shackles, and on the following pages there were magic patterns and detailed notes on the selection of magic materials.The pattern of shackles was exactly what Mason was wearing now.

Lorca turned over a few more pages, and it turned out to be a design drawing of a collar, and the ring used to activate the restraint of the collar was actually very similar to the one on Lord Libertas's thumb.

There is a line of small words "imprison the devil's eye" at the bottom.
