Chapter 902

Outside an abandoned ancient castle.

Lady "Magician" waited with Lu Mian for a while, then followed the reminder of her spirituality, took a step out, arrived at a place inside, and stopped in front of a vermilion door.

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, this holder of the Major Arcana card knocked on the door three times in a row.

After a few seconds, a voice with a soothing tone came from inside:

"Please come in."

Accompanying these words, the vermilion door opened backward slowly.

Lu Mian then saw heavy curtains, and sunlight struggled to shine in through the gaps, bringing gold that reflected floating dust to parts of the room.

On the other side, unaffected by the sunlight, a pitch-black coffin was placed quietly, instead of the common sleeping bed.

Opposite the coffin, the desk near the sunlight was piled with letters.

At this time, a man in loose pajamas was sitting in front of the desk. He had just put down a gold-tipped, black-bellied absorbent fountain pen and folded the paper filled with words.

This man stood up and walked toward the door, with his back to the sunlight.

Lu Mian had already obtained dark vision through the "Witch" pathway and clearly saw the man's appearance:

About forty years old, medium build, skin bronze-colored, no beard, black hair and brown eyes, soft facial features, eyes revealing an unspeakable vicissitude, a black mole that could only be found by looking closely under his right ear...

"Good noon, Mr. Azik," Lady "Magician" greeted the man respectfully.

Lu Mian also followed with similar words.

They used Ancient Fusa language.

The middle-aged man called Azik suddenly looked dazed, as if he had obtained a large amount of information from the Spirit Realm and his own subconscious in an instant.

He nodded and said in a soft voice:

"Thank you for your help, allowing me to wake up early, and my soul has also been healed to a certain extent."

"It was mainly this little friend who made a contribution," Lady "Magician" pointed to Lu Mian beside her.

She then introduced to Lu Mian:

"This is Mr. Azik Eggers, the son of the 'Death' god from the Fourth Epoch, and the former governor of the Balam Empire."

Son of "Death," the former death governor of the Balam Empire... Lu Mian suddenly associated this with part of the content in the scriptures of the "Fool" Church:

'Death Angel' is the existence that has followed my Lord the longest, and is the governor of the Netherworld...

Could this be the "Death Angel" beside Mr. "Fool"'s throne? Lu Mian greeted again.

"A 'Witch'," Azik looked at Lu Mian and nodded slightly. "You have the aura of the source of the River of Death on you."

The "Death Angel" calls the river that connects the two worlds the source of the River of Death? Lu Mian was stunned and said:

"That is the seal of the 'Underworld Daoist'."

"'Underworld Daoist'..." Azik muttered to himself, as if he hadn't heard of this existence.

Lady "Magician" smiled and changed the subject:

"Mr. Azik, we came to visit you today mainly to ask about some things."

Azik looked at the corridor outside the door:

"Let's walk around the ancient castle. Let's talk while walking. This is an important memory of a period of my life."

"Okay," Lady "Magician" cleared the way.

Lu Mian and she followed behind Mr. Azik, who was suspected to be the "Death Angel," passed through the corridor, and went up step by step along the stairs.

On the way, the ancient wall lamps embedded in the walls lit up one after another, burning with cold and pale flames.

Lu Mian saw that there were oil paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor. There were some of Azik himself, but the expressions were more active, and there were even smiles on the corners of his mouth. There were also beautiful ladies with their hair coiled up and a few children teasing wild deer.

Azik's gaze swept slowly over these oil paintings, stopping occasionally. After waiting for a long time, he said to Lady "Magician" and Lu Mian:

"What do you want to ask?"

Lady "Magician" was wearing a purple-leaning magician's robe today, and she asked directly:

"Mr. Azik, do you know why the 'Primordial Witch' would seek cooperation with your father, the 'Death' god of the Fourth Epoch, after the 'War of the Four Emperors'? Have you discovered any problems with the 'Primordial Witch'?"

Hearing this question, Lu Mian was stunned for a moment before he realized:

That's right, this is a personal witness to those things in the late Fourth Epoch. If I don't ask Him, who do I ask?

He is indeed an ancient angel who has lived for more than a thousand years...

Lady "Magician" should be about the same, but my spiritual intuition tells me that she is still very young...

Azik recalled for a few seconds and said:

"There was more than a hundred years from the end of the 'War of the Four Emperors' to the beginning of the 'Pale Disaster.' The arrival of the 'Primordial Witch' was probably in the middle period. We don't know exactly what He communicated with my father. I only know that He declared to us that He wanted to take revenge for the 'Blood Emperor,' let all seven gods of the Northern Continent fall, and bring Trier and the 'Blood Emperor's' divine corpse sealed underground back to the ground."

"Is this true love? Two against seven, wanting to take revenge for the 'Blood Emperor'...

"No, if the 'Primordial Witch' had really achieved His goal at that time, it would mean that the special mirror world would no longer be sealed and could show all its problems. But the current Witch Sect doesn't seem to have such thoughts, and even plans to nail the coffin lid more firmly, not letting those 'people in the mirror' achieve their goals...

"Also, was it really not the 'Underworld Emperor,' that is, the 'Death' god, who gave the 'Blood Emperor' the final blow? The 'Red Priest' uniqueness also fell into the hands of the 'Death' god, and there is also something like the 'Samaritan Spring' under Trier..." Lu Mian felt strong doubts, but didn't interrupt Mr. Azik's narration.

Azik said:

"Undoubtedly, the 'Primordial Witch' is the most charming woman in this world. Every creature that sees Him will inevitably be fascinated by Him. This includes me, my brothers and sisters, and even the undead creatures of the Netherworld. Even our father could not avoid being attracted to a certain extent."

"Undead creatures will also be attracted by the 'Primordial Witch'? This is already charm at the conceptual and authority level..." Lady "Magician" sighed and said, "Your father, the 'Death' god of the Fourth Epoch, finally decided to forcibly accommodate the 'Red Priest' uniqueness. Was it seduced by the 'Primordial Witch'?"

Lu Mian had a certain understanding of the connection between "Death" and the "Red Priest" uniqueness when reading the "0-01" seal data, but this was the first time he had clearly touched the essence of the matter.

While his thoughts were flying, Azik shook his head slightly:

"The instigation of the 'Primordial Witch' should be one of the reasons, but I don't think it's the main one. Otherwise, my father wouldn't have done that until decades later."

Lady "Magician" gave an "um" and repeated the previous question:

"Have you discovered anything wrong with the 'Primordial Witch'?"

Azik passed an oil painting and slid his finger lightly on it:

"Every time I met the 'Primordial Witch,' I would be fascinated. How could I discover the problems He had?

"If I really have to say there was an abnormality, it was that a few times, His charm was a little weaker than normal. That should be Him deliberately restraining His charm."

As a "Witch," Lu Mian knew that the charm naturally emitted by a "Witch" and the charm deliberately restrained would indeed present two different states, but after experiencing the fake "Black Witch" incident, he suspected there were other possibilities.

Lady "Magician" thought for a while and changed the subject:

"Mr. Azik, do you know about the corpse of the Phoenix Ancestor in the depths of the Netherworld?"

Azik turned his head to look at the two women:

"My father felt that it was too wasteful for the ancient god's corpse to be destroyed like that, and believed that it could play a more important role, for example, helping my father better and more completely control the Netherworld, for example, letting Him, as the 'Death' god, possess stronger strength.

"Extraordinary beings in the field of death will never reject a powerful corpse that they can control."

Without waiting for Lady "Magician" to ask again, Mr. Azik added another sentence:

"My father also mentioned that the corpse of the Phoenix Ancestor, this ancient god, hides some secrets."

"Secrets?" Lady "Magician" asked curiously.

Azik paced forward:

"He didn't tell me the specific situation, just said that the incident of the 'Ancient Sun God' killing the Phoenix Ancestor at the end of the Second Epoch was fake. Well, a more accurate description is that the process was correct, but the result was wrong. The Phoenix Ancestor was only severely injured by the 'Ancient Sun God' and didn't die on the spot. He escaped to the Southern Continent and hid."

"Right, if it was really the 'Ancient Sun God' who killed the Phoenix Ancestor, that divine corpse would be unlikely to be obtained by the 'Death' god and appear in the Netherworld, unless it was His arrangement again," Lady "Magician" expressed approval.

Azik continued:

"Similarly, the Giant King Aurmir didn't fall on the spot either. He suspectedly escaped and handed over his power to his eldest son, the later 'War God' Badheil, before he died."

Does this have any connection with the Omebella incident? Well, the two ancient gods who were not killed on the spot by the "Ancient Sun God" seem to be related to Omebella. One corpse laid an egg and is hatching Omebella, and the other is Omebella's husband... Lu Mian looked at Lady "Magician" and asked after obtaining consent:

"Mr. Azik, what is the relationship between the Phoenix Ancestor and the 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella?"

Azik shook his head:

"I was born in the Fourth Epoch. The history of the Second Epoch I know was all mentioned occasionally by my father."

Speaking of this, He smiled at Lu Mian:

"Speaking of which, I should give you a reward."

As His right hand lifted lightly, a large amount of white bones surged from the ground, forming a huge skeleton.

That skeleton respectfully handed a shiny Gold Pound to Mr. Azik.

Azik took that gold coin and sent it to Lu Mian:

"Is it okay to use it as a reward?"

"Thank you," Lu Mian thanked sincerely and caught the lucky gold coin with Mr. "Fool"'s aura.

PS2: Recommending a book, wasteland literature, telling the story of a modern person waking up in the wasteland after a long sleep, transforming the wasteland, and rebuilding the glory of humanity. It's written quite interestingly, and various settings are relatively novel. The book title is "Wasteland Development Diary."
