In April in the southern continent, spring is warm, drizzle has fallen all night, and the morning dew is dotted with greenery, creating a picture full of vitality.
Liam was sitting on a wooden bench, with the shade of the tree covering his face. The wind was blowing, the leaves were rustling, and a few birds were singing softly among the treetops, feeling relaxed and happy.
I inserted the bookmark and closed the "Myth and Biography", and the footsteps were approaching.
"Good morning, beautiful Ms. Kelly." A gentle smile appeared on Liam's face.
It has been a week since I received the inheritance from the God of Death that night. My soul has completely adapted to my body, all functions have been fully restored, and my whole person exudes youthful vitality and is at the same time humble and restrained.
"Good morning." Kelly is a 34-year-old woman. Because her relationship with her husband broke up many years ago and she had no children to tie her down, she decided to become a nun of the Silver Moon Church and was responsible for some trivial matters in the church.
As for taking care of Liam, it was because of a wrong judgment by the church.
He held up his long skirt with his hands and sat next to her.
""Myth Biography"? Has the memory not been completely restored?" Kelly asked with concern.
Liam showed a bitter expression, "I can only remember fragments of many things, and a lot of knowledge has been forgotten."
"It will get better. The goddess will bless the devout believers." Kelly drew a half-moon on her chest with her hands.
Liam secretly laughed. He was not pious. If the goddess had a spirit in the sky and knew that there was a successor of the God of Death who believed in him, he wondered if there would be thunder from the sky. Oh, the goddess is the god of night and wisdom, and thunder seems to be the god of storms.
God's authority...
"Ms. Kelly, about Jiao Li..." Liam still felt a little sorry for this infatuated girl.
This topic was a bit heavy, and Kelly sighed softly, "There are so many children in the orphanage, how many of them can be adopted, and besides, it's a baron. Liam, you don't have to blame yourself too much, it's all over.
, the goddess once said, 'The done deal', now I just hope you can treat her well and don't let down her infatuation."
"I..." Liam opened his mouth. He didn't know whether he should accept this kind of thing, or whether he was qualified to accept it.
"I will work hard."
"Well, this is the goddess's good child." Kelly smiled happily, leaned over and kissed Liam's forehead.
Liam's heart slowly sank as he looked at the figure fading away.
The owner of this body died in a trial.
The Church of Silver Moon discovered the cult's activities and found four children who had been in contact with them.
They were taken to the church for trial, and only devout believers would survive, while evil souls would only perish.
The trial ceremony went smoothly, and just as recorded by the church, the vast majority of people contaminated by demons were unable to maintain their faith and were purified in the fire and holy light.
However, unexpectedly, Liam survived tenaciously. He was not swallowed up by the fire, nor was he erased by the holy light. His soul withstood the judgment.
Bishop Flora used healing techniques to heal the external injuries, but could do nothing to deal with the mental trauma.
Tomorrow morning, the children in the orphanage will go to the church with Ms. Kelly to pray, during which they will definitely meet Bishop Flora.
And Liam has accepted the inheritance of the God of Death. You must know that in both "General History of the Continent" and "Biography of Myths", the God of Death Kurag was synonymous with disaster in the Second Era.
In a sense, he is the biggest heretic in the church.
"We must avoid Bishop Flora's detection." After accepting the inheritance, Liam fell asleep again for three days and three nights.
When she woke up in the morning, she met Kelly and Jiao Li praying for her by the bedside. After she found that she could move, she told her to go to church to pray.
He used his health as an excuse to postpone it for a week. On the surface, he was cramming in knowledge, but in fact, he was secretly preparing for a ceremony.
Deep in the brown pupil of Liam's left eye, a dark book was turning silently, with strange, twisted, and evil rituals drawn on each page. Next to it were the annotations and usage of each symbol.
"The so-called inheritance is actually a book. It has many names, such as: 'Book of Death', 'Book of the Dead' and 'Wall Family Notes'."
Countless people are looking for this book that records all madness and evil. According to legend, He is alive and will find a host by himself. According to legend, He is the soul of the God of Death and is the key to the resurrection ceremony of the Dark Association. All the rumors are telling Lee
Yam a message.
Creatures who get this book will not have a good end.
Liam knew that the book was a scourge, but he had no other choice, because on the first night after he became the owner of the book, he almost lost control and turned into a monster.
Although it was only for a moment, it shocked Liam beyond measure. This meant that the countdown to loss of control and death meant that he could no longer be an ordinary person.
In order not to lose control and become a monster or be discovered and eliminated by the church, Liam must find a solution immediately.
"Demon Sealing Reversal Ritual." Liam murmured in a low voice. This is a ritual that seals items with a demonic aura within a living being so that they cannot escape. Even the church's holy water cannot lift this film.
This is exactly what Liam needs now. The power in his body is like an unruly beast, always trying to break out of the cage, and the cage imprisoning the beast is already scarred.
A week of preparation time, intentionally or unintentionally, I gradually gathered the required auxiliary materials, and now there is only the last one, which is also the most critical main material.
Just at this moment, a gray mouse fell from the tree. It turned over with difficulty on the ground, as if it had suffered from cerebral thrombosis for ten years, and its limbs were uncoordinated as it crawled over.
The mouse climbed onto the bench along its trouser legs. It tried hard to turn its head, which was twisted on its back, and then opened its mouth wider and wider, eventually splitting its entire head into a 180-degree angle.
A small, exquisite, pink and jade-carved skull emerged from it.
"Happy, did you get anything?" Liam asked in a low voice.
The little skeleton shook his head.
Liam frowned. This was going to be troublesome. The most important main material in front of him could not be found, and the ceremony could not be carried out.
"Hey, little old man basking in the sun!" A playful voice came from behind. You didn't need to guess to know that it was Jack the Troublemaker.
The little skeleton was startled, immediately put on the mouse skin, and crawled into Liam's clothes.
"Hi, Jack." Liam immediately put on a smile, "Why are you free to see me today? Where is your dear Mira?"
When he talked about Mira, Jack's face immediately dropped and he said depressedly: "She is in a bad mood today."
"Why did you offend the gentle Miss Mira? Tell me!" Liam became interested and asked.
"I don't know either. I went to have dinner with her this morning as usual, but she ignored me, told her jokes and got ridiculed. Liam, why do you think this woman always has such a bad mood?
It's weird, like...as if I'm possessed by a demon."
"Jack, don't talk nonsense. If Ms. Kelly hears it, you will be in trouble."
"Hey hey hey, isn't she here?" Jack said, his body still looking around honestly.
Liam whispered: "Do you want to know why Mira, who is usually gentle, has a sudden change in temperament?"
Jack's eyes suddenly lit up, he leaned closer and lowered his voice and asked: "You know?"
"Of course!" Liam responded confidently.
"Tell me quickly."
"That's because..." As the words came to his lips, Liam sat up straight again, looking relaxed and content.
At this moment, Jack felt as if his heart was being scratched by a kitten. He couldn't express the pain all over his body, so he hurriedly asked, "That's what you said."
"You don't believe me even if I say it, so just forget it."
"You're such a boring person. How do you know I don't believe you if you don't tell me?"
"You really want to hear it?"
"Um."
"Actually...forget it, let's not talk about it." Liam picked up the book and stood up to leave.
"Hey, dear Liam! Lord Liam! Lord Liam! Please don't make fun of me." Jack hurriedly blocked the way.
Liam looked embarrassed. He was silent for a few seconds and then said: "Let's do it this way. In everything, hearing is the truth and seeing is the truth. As long as you are obedient, I will let you see Mira's secret with your own eyes, and you can also cure it."
Her illness is good."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm more obedient than Peppa Pig." Jack nodded repeatedly with a sincere expression. (Peppa, a puppy in the orphanage.)
"Just talking won't do it. You have to swear to the goddess." Liam refused.
Jack thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, "I, Jack, swear to the benevolent Silver Moon Goddess. In order to find the reason why Mira's temperament changed drastically, I am willing to obey Mr. Liam's orders. If I violate this
I swear, I will be single for the rest of my life!"
"What a cruel oath!" Liam immediately looked at Jack with admiration.
"You can talk now."
"Of course!" Liam whispered, "like this, like this, like this, then..."
Jack's face became more and more ugly, and his outlook on life was almost collapsing. When he heard everything, he almost roared.
"I...I really want to do this?"
"For Mira, for the love in my heart, mere rumors don't matter." Liam patted the other party's shoulder encouragingly.
"But if I'm discovered...I...I'll become a pervert." Jack was struggling in his heart.
Liam shrugged, "I've already told you the method. Whether you do it or not has nothing to do with me. Goodbye, Jack." After saying that, he strode away without waiting for the other party's reaction.
The little mouse poked his head out of his clothes and saw Jack squatting on the ground, scratching his head with both hands.
