Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 106 You’re late
  Chris hates talking.

Because he can remember memories from infancy, although they are not as clear as Byrne's "deep memory", he can still remember how vicious the gossip people said when they were around the baby.

They all thought that no one knew their malice and hypocrisy.

Language, most of the time, cannot express the human heart most accurately, and is more often used for lies.

Of course he also remembered the night when the Lost Lord saved himself and his sister Irene.

At that moment, Chris heard His voice too.

It was definitely not human language, but something greater, an untouchable supreme voice.

After turning into a dirty and smelly "Liam", he began to mine underground in the mining area, and was constantly busy working under the supervision of the guards.

There are many people mining in the dark mine, and the mining workers are extremely tired. This is a very dangerous area, and someone may die at any time.

The steam excavator invented by the Lorne people has not yet spread in Siat. Everything in the mining area must be excavated manually, which is extremely inefficient, laborious, and full of danger.

Most of them are not citizens of Fein, but farmers from villages all over the east coast, struggling to earn extremely meager wages, and deep down they are dissatisfied.

Chris's physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he felt a little tired after working for a few days.

Although there was nothing serious, he felt that if he didn't have the sequential strength bonus, he might be too tired to move.

Chris had never understood certain things, and he silently thought about why the diggers were willing to work hard in a place like this instead of returning to the village.

He didn't want to know about irrelevant things, but the disguised "Liam" should be a completely opposite person to the real Chris.

So after thinking carefully, Chris took the initiative to ask the miners why they left the countryside. He learned that there were many reasons for leaving, but most of them were related to the land, and it was an old man's experience that was the most peculiar.

At this time, it was a very short break in the day's digging work. Chris and the old man were sitting on the ground.

"The Sommer family forced us to use the land to raise a kind of magical beast. As a result, I lost the land and my family. I had no choice but to become a homeless man."

The Sommer family actually violated the church's regulations and publicly raised a large number of Warcraft?

Chris was surprised after hearing this. It was allowed for nobles to raise a small amount of monsters, but raising monsters on a large scale was strictly prohibited by several major churches.

There has always been an ancient legend in the Oden continent. It seems that when the number of mysterious creatures increases to a certain level, the demon god from an ancient era will resurrect.

The old man's body is still strong, but his hands are covered with scars from years of hard work, and his eyes are extremely cloudy and blank.

He sighed and continued:

"Those nobles who are filthy to the bone are constantly fighting for power and land. However, power is contained in their blood, and the gods are on their side. Where is the path for ordinary people?"

"We were trampled like weeds, and in the end there was no way to survive. I'm afraid I will die in the mine soon."

Chris knew what he said was correct. Even though the old man was in good health, he was getting older and older.

It was only a matter of time before he died in the mines.

But that kind of thing had nothing to do with Chris, who had no intention of saving any strangers.

Whoever treats him well will be treated well by him.

Chris just forced himself to speak with great reluctance, pretending to be an ordinary person.

"Absolutely not. You are still so strong that you won't die!"

When he was talking, he always felt as if he was staring at himself not far away. No, he was actually staring at "Liam".

An interesting experience.

Chris suddenly liked the feeling of assuming a new identity.

He felt that his spirit was boiling a little bit again.

The old man shook his head and opened his mouth to say something, but finally decided not to say anything.

"What do you want to say?" Chris asked immediately to maintain his character.

"I want to tell you a truth. In fact, the fate of us ordinary people is doomed. We will never be able to save ourselves during our lifetime..."

The old man spoke words of extreme despair and frustration, but the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared. Instead, there was smile and longing, which was extremely contradictory.

He continued: "I think the hope of ordinary people lies in the afterlife."

Chris fell into silence, shook his head, and asked, "I don't understand, maybe because I haven't read the book."

"Liam, do you believe that the stars can give hope?"

The old man suddenly smiled and looked at Chris, with a certain seductive quality in his voice.

"After we all pass away, many people's souls will have no destination, and some people's souls will reach the beautiful stars, where they will experience all the beauty that has never been experienced in the world. They think that the souls will arrive after death. The stars are the real hope!”

Because of the "little hobby" of the Fisher family, Chris was sensitive to the strangeness of what the old man said.

It's like the beginning of what my sister said to the children in the orphanage.

He made a puzzled expression and asked: "I still don't understand, what do you want to say?"

"Hey, I'll give you this."

The old man chuckled and took out a black stone sculpture of a seven-pointed star and placed it in Chris's hand.

"Remember the stars to give real hope. My child, sooner or later you will see them. That is your destiny."

Chris looked down at the black seven-pointed star stone sculpture and found a huge eye in its center. It seemed to be staring at him all the time, and no matter how the angle of the stone sculpture was changed, it could not escape its gaze. strangeness.

He subconsciously felt strong vigilance and continued to ask:

"Thank you for the gift, but what on earth is this? Why do I feel a little strange..."

The old man chuckled and continued: "That's a mark. You'll understand when the time comes."

Chris looked confused and nodded, but there was a strong uneasiness welling up deep in his heart.

When work resumed, he secretly threw away the stone imprint. Caution was the principle of the Fisher family.

But when he was about to go to bed at night, something happened that shocked Chris. He found that the black seven-pointed star stone sculpture was actually back in his hands!
  What is going on?

Chris completely lost sleep in his mind and got up calmly, wanting to carefully examine the black seven-pointed star.

At this moment, the black seven-pointed star emitted light.

Suddenly, a dark aura emerged from the red mark on the back of his hand, instantly covering the black seven-pointed star and instantly turning it into pale ashes.

"..."

Chris looked at this scene in complete incomprehension.

The Lost Lord protected me?

Chris's curiosity about unknown things was not strong enough, and he had no intention of studying it in depth. Because he couldn't understand it, he stopped thinking about it and simply chose to sleep.

After waking up, he heard a message.

The old man is dead.

Moreover, according to people's opinions, the old man died laughing at night. All the people who saw the corpse were frightened and thought the old man's smile was extremely strange.

Many workers who saw the corpses even started to protest in fear. They did not want to continue working in the mining area if the church did not come to solve the problem.

Weird smile?

Chris didn't understand what was scary about the corpse's smile, so he wanted to take a look at the corpse, but found that the corpse had been hidden by the mine owner and no workers were allowed to touch it.

However, he could smell the old man's scent and find it accurately among the many mixed scents.

"Over there." Chris stared at a hidden house outside the mining area with an indifferent expression.

He quietly touched the place where the body was parked in the dark night, and slowly untied the rag covering the body while no one was around.

It was definitely not a corpse with a lost smile.

A ferocious smile appeared on the old man's face, like a terrifying demon tearing apart human flesh and blood with extreme excitement!
  All the wrinkles on that old face were deeply squeezed together, the corners of the mouth were exaggeratedly grinning almost to the base of the ears, the eyes that were never closed were full of scarlet bloodshot eyes, and the madness of the near-death still remained in the cloudy eyes!

After seeing the old man's "smile", Chris was still expressionless.

Well, it's really not scary at all.

He calmly reached out and pulled the "smiling face" a few times, and found that it could not be changed easily. It was as if there was some supernatural effect that fixed the old man's face in an extremely weird state.

interesting.

Chris became very interested, took off all the clothes on the body, and then carefully inspected it, and soon found something strange on the old man's back.

Those were a few pitch-black words that seemed to be made of the blood of some mysterious creature.

"Embrace the stars."

What do those things that describe "stars" mean, the black seven-pointed star, embracing the stars, pursuing the hope in the stars after death...

Chris finally couldn't bear it any longer. As if he was being tempted by some strong temptation, he raised his head and looked at the vast night sky with a slight trembling.

It suddenly dawned on him.

So that’s it, all of this is His guidance, just so that I can’t help but raise my head and look into the eyes of the great Him at this moment!

It was an extremely huge black star that was even indescribable to human intelligence!

Most of its area is an extremely terrifying giant eye, staring at every corner of the universe at any time, watching the past, present and future of all things, emitting endless chaotic power almost every moment, enough to make everything in the world... Crazy chaos!
  Chris roared, his heart beating wildly, a large amount of indescribable and indescribable information emerged in his mind, and he was about to change himself in an instant.

"what!"

A black seven-pointed star filled with the aura of chaos appeared on his chest.

However, the black seven-pointed star had just appeared, and the red brand on Chris's hand shone brightly, and the black seven-pointed star that was half-revealed gradually faded away.

It completely disappeared.

When Chris came back to his senses, he found that the terrifying giant stars in the night sky had disappeared, and a large amount of information in Chris' mind was gone.

In the end it was as if nothing happened.

"..."

Chris stood there in silence for a long time, shook his head, and restored the state of the corpse calmly and boredly.

He turned around and left the morgue, disappearing silently into the dark night.
