Lord of the Mysteries v7c34 - Tencent MTL

Bernadette gazed at the contours for a long time until they became clear as the Dawn approached and outlined a large island.

On the island, huge trees, dark green and near black, stood tall, covering the ground and obscuring the peaks.

Although Bernardi was not sure that this was the pristine island her father had visited, a "master of prophecy" intuition told her that this was probably the place she was looking for.

As the coastline caught her eye, she pursed her lower lip, buried her head, and recited a honorable name:

"the fool who does not belong to this age, the mysterious master above the fog, the yellow and black king in charge of good luck …."

Then, the "mysterious queen" Bernardi raised her hand and stopped the Dawn, which had no crew, offshore, not close to the shore.

At the same time, the sound of piano, violin, cello, flute and other instruments sounded in the unmanned cabin, interweaving a warm and cheerful song.

In the reverberation of the music, the toast, steak, mashed potatoes and fried mushrooms on the dinner plate jumped up one after another and danced back into the oven or into the dustbin.

Red wine bottles, white tablecloths and other things also returned to their original position, or installed their own cork, or constantly folded themselves, becoming neat and tidy.

Then Bernardi flicked her right hand and threw out a bright, unreal ball of wool.

The thread rolled into the void, leaving a thread, and Bernardi walked along it to the edge of the nameless island.

The "mysterious queen" is in no hurry to go deep, looking for a possible "black emperor" mausoleum, cautiously darkening his eyes as blue as the sea, briefly losing focus, and seems to be peeping at the river of fate.

A few seconds later, Bernardi's eyes returned to normal and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

She felt that she was being watched by someone.

Of course, this is what she expected, because she took the initiative to recite the honorable name of Mr. Fool.

Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace, Klein holds the "fool" card, wears the "curtain" and holds the "star staff" to examine the situation of the island through the prayer light of the "mysterious queen".

In his real view, the island was shrouded in a faint, twisted black, so that he could not directly see what was going on inside, and could only get Bernadette's point of view.

Even if it is not the pristine island discovered by Rossell the Great, it is not easy here. Klein lowered his head invisible, waiting for the Mystery Queen to do more exploration.

Bernardi stopped using the ball of thread because she had a premonition that it would lead her into an irresistible abyss of danger.

She took out an illusory hat and put it on her head.

Her appearance as captain disappeared and all traces were hidden.

This is also one of the fairy tale magic from "mysterious reappearance", the core of which is a "hat" that can make people invisible.

Then Bernardi followed a path pioneered by man and entered a forest of huge trees.

There was no birdsong, no roar of wild animals, no creeping insects, and there was peace as if time had frozen, and death seemed as if there were no living creatures.

According to Bernardi's knowledge, there should be many extraordinary creatures that have become extinct in the outside world, and normal life must be quite lively, but now she feels that she is walking through an uninhabited graveyard, and every giant tree is a tombstone.

Those extraordinary people with weak minds must have tightened up, carried heavy pressure, and moved a little closer to the edge of getting out of control, but Bernardi's expression did not change at all, and seemed to be accustomed to moving forward in danger and weirdness.

After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, she still did not see any life, or even felt the presence of the wind.

Suddenly, her eyes widened, as the huge trees became sparse in front of her.

Without a hint of joy, Bernadette slowed down and raised her hand to the center of her eyebrow.

Immediately in front of her appeared a pair of eyelash-free, unusually cold, transparent eyes.

Then the "secret eyes" were held by invisible hands and placed on the face of a transparent man.

This belongs to Bernardi's "invisible servant".

With a "secret eye", the "invisible servant" quickly passed through the remaining road and came to the open woodland.

In the process, its line of sight gradually became clear, and it no longer seemed to be affected by the faint black in the air.

At last, the "invisible servant" reached the edge of the open area and passed the situation back into Bernardi's view through the "secret eye":

Beyond the sparse woods, there is a large clearing, where there are countless creatures crawling.

Among them are red dragons with flaming skin, tree men with wooden tumors as eyes, cracks as mouths, wolves with eight legs, giants with malformed limbs, dark green scales and oily feathers, just like the feathered snakes of hills, and there are all kinds of creatures like a mixture of humans and wild animals.

At this point, they are all facing the same place, crawling their upper body or head, as if they are worshiping some unknown being, and none of them makes a sound.

There are even a few humans in it.

One, two, three, four, five. When Bernademer counted several humanoid creatures, the blue pupils suddenly dilated a little.

She learned from the Admiral of the Stars that there was some strange pollution in the pristine island that her father had discovered, allowing dead creatures to return to the source, no matter where the body was.

In the Knight, which followed Rossell, Green died first, then William and Polly, but no one else died in the event except for the three of them, and at this time, there were five people in those extraordinary or mutant creatures.

In addition, Bernardi knew that his father finally solved the pollution problem, making the pristine island his secret base.

Isn't that the island? The "mysterious queen" examined the five human beings one by one through the Eye of Secrets.

They all wore luxurious Russell-era clothes, with pale faces and withered skin, more like zombies than humans.

Because the five men were all prostrate on the ground, Bernardi could not see their faces for the time being, and had to wait patiently for the "prayer" to end.

A few minutes later, the creatures straightened up at the same time, and the whole primeval forest came alive.

Seizing this opportunity, Bernardi saw the faces of the five men and compared them with her own memory and the portraits she had mastered:

"Green, he is really Green, this is the original island.

"this is Uncle William. I remember what he looked like. He once taught me swordsmanship.

"Uncle Polly."

Bernadette's mood-swinging face showed unconcealed consternation when she recognized the fourth person.

That person is:

Edwards!

In Bernardi's memory, the knight lived until his father fell, and then the family moved to Renburg, where he did not die on the pristine island.

According to information she received from "Iceberg Admiral" Edwina, Edwards lived to be nearly 100 years old, died peacefully and was buried in a cemetery on the outskirts of Rembaugh.

Uncle Edwards also returned to the island. He didn't suffer from pollution, didn't he die because of it. One thought after another flashed through Bernardi's mind, so much so that the "peeping eyes" on the face of the "invisible servant" kept staring at the suspected Edwards human.

The gentleman was old and his hair was all white, with Edwina. Edwards shows the same portraits of his ancestors in his later years, and from his facial features and silhouette, Bernardi can see what the other person looked like in his prime.

At that time, Edwards was her equestrian teacher.

Suddenly, the man suspected of Edwards turned his head and looked with indifferent eyes at the place where the invisible servant was.

Although Bernardi inherited a lot of inheritance from Rossell the Great, she relied on more than just objects to get to the present in the mysterious world step by step. at this moment, she made up her mind and directly let the "secret eye" go away. let the "invisible servant" return to the spirit world.

Then, in her invisible state, she quietly changed her position.

At the same time, Klein above the fog tapped the edge of the mottled table, magnifying the probability that Bernardi would not be seen.

When the suspected Edwards man withdrew his stiff eyes and walked with the creatures around him to different parts of the primeval forest, Klein frowned slightly and whispered to himself:

"what has happened?"

He remembers that the Emperor had solved the starry pollution on the primitive island, but now these creatures are still worshiping some unknown existence, performing mysterious rituals, close to the earliest description in the diary.

After the fall of the Emperor, someone in the starry sky eroded the place, or did they worship a symbol left behind by the Emperor? Who are the two extra people? they look like Edwards and Benjamin in historical fragments. Abraham? Disturbed by the faint black of the island, Klein could not see what was worshipped for the time being and could only follow Bernardi's eyes to look around.

After a while, the prophetic Bernardi finally determined that there was no life in the open space, and once again summoned the "invisible servant" and gave it the "eye of the secret".

The "invisible servant" passed through the sparse parts of the forest and the completely empty area, and carefully reached the places where the creatures had worshiped.

There was a boulder with a simple shrine made of dark mahogany wood.

The "invisible servant" made a half-circle and came to the front of the shrine and found that it was empty, with no idols, no badges of symbols and other objects.

The creatures on this island seem to worship something that doesn't exist.
