Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 37: Talking? Nothing more than that

"ember?"

Xio looked suspicious.

Although she was not familiar with Yu Jin, she also learned the name of this person from Viscount Glint.

Ash Black.

Although Viscount Greylint's expression was a little strange when he asked, he even seemed to be doubting his life.

But Hugh obviously doesn't care about these details.

But now Yu Jin introduced himself using a completely different name.

Is it a pseudonym?
But what's the point?

"Well then, Mr. Ember."

Hugh Dilcha didn't hesitate for too long. He just organized his words and asked, "Do you need me to prepare some materials?"

"Materials? No need."

Ember calmly shook her head.

He actually knew why the other party had such doubts.

For some unknown reason, the magic in this world has become very backward.

Any magic requires a ritual using specific materials before it can be released.

In addition, rituals including praying to gods also require material arrangement.

This was something that was completely incomprehensible to Ember.

He simply couldn't understand the motivation for doing this. Was it for that damn sense of ritual?

Or are the gods of this world so superficial that they must be pleased with rituals?

"Is that so?"

Xio had no doubts, but just looked Ember up and down.

She thought that Ember had already prepared the necessary materials.

Perhaps because of the lack of common topics, even though the three of them were in the living room, the atmosphere was very awkward from beginning to end.

Until Fors took the initiative to break the silence.

"coming."

A bitter smile appeared on Fors's lips.

Outside the window, the blood moon broke through the clouds, shining brightly and perfect.

"Forsi!"

Xio's expression changed slightly and he immediately looked at his friend.

At this moment, Fors had collapsed on the sofa in agony, twisted into a ball.

Her beautiful face had been distorted to the extreme, and she looked as hideous as a demon.

Fors covered her ears with her hands, even though she knew it was useless.

But now she was like a drowning person who was trying to grab something with her hands.

"ember!"

Xio took a step back in fear, but soon turned his anxious gaze towards the embers.

She knew that Fors was in pain, but she never knew that Fors would be in so much pain during the full moon.

"not the right time yet."

Yu Jin watched all this happen calmly without taking any action.

"Help me, help me..."

Tormented by pain, Fors stretched out his hand and grabbed at the air, his blurry and painful eyes full of pleading.

Drops of sweat oozed from her forehead and blue veins bulged from the back of her hands.

Her body was sometimes tense and sometimes rolling, and her light blue eyes, which originally had a playful and lazy look, were now filled with pain.

In the depths of the pupil, there seemed to be countless lights and shadows changing and overlapping. "Ember!"

Xiu looked extremely anxious and urged Yu Jin again, but Yu Jin still did nothing.

Fors, who had been tortured to the point of insanity, recited the name of the god she believed in with great difficulty, hoping to be redeemed:

"The Great God of Steam and Machinery"

"You are the essence, the incarnation"

"You are the protector of the craftsmen"

"You are the glory of technology, glory"

She chanted the names of the gods very devoutly. Although she chanted the names of several gods in total, it did not affect her piety.

Unfortunately, this didn't work.

Her pain never subsided, but instead became more intense.

Unable to bear it any longer, Fors frantically scratched the wooden legs of the coffee table with her nails, leaving deep scratches one after another and making teeth-grinding creaking sounds.

Snapped!
Her nails broke!
Her hair is growing weirdly long!

The stratum corneum of her skin was covered with an evil white glow!

It was as if she would completely transform into a monster in the next moment.

And it was only at this point that the embers took any action.

Under Xio's angry gaze, he took out a small holy bell from somewhere.

Then he rang the holy bell and performed a miracle.

"Jingle Bell!"

Holy light slowly gathered from the holy bell, and finally slowly emerged under his feet. A white-gold circular magic circle like a moon disk spread outward in circles like water waves.

【Healing Tears】

[The miracle taught by Moen, the apostle of Archbishop Karim.

Can treat bleeding and poisoning of surrounding characters.
And all abnormal conditions such as cold.

Morn is a well-known follower of the goddess Quart.

And this is the story of her being surrounded by death. 】

"Jingle Bell!"

With the clear ringing sound of the holy bell, the holy magic circle also included Fors' body.

Then in an instant, her body was enveloped by holy light.

When the light faded, her body had miraculously returned to normal.

Apart from her broken nails that grew longer again and her hair that had grown long enough to touch the ground, she hadn't changed at all.

"I'm not dead? I'm not out of control?"

The original painful torture suddenly disappeared, but Fors's eyes were still a little blurry and confused.

"Not yet."

Yu Jin asked, "But after the miracle effect wears off, that may not be the case. How long will your mumbling last? A whole night?"

"How can it be."

With the help of her friend, Fors sat up and panted heavily, "If it had continued all night, I might have lost control. But generally speaking, the mumbling will last three to five minutes during a full moon, and more than seven minutes if it is a blood moon."

After a pause, Fors smiled bitterly again, "In fact, if it weren't for the two blood moons this year, I originally estimated that I could at least hold on for a few more months and not lose control now..."

"Three minutes?"

Ember nodded silently.

PS1: The 'Red Moon' and 'Blood Moon' in Lord of Mysteries are not the same thing.

The red moon is a round moon. Except for the different color, it has phases of waxing and waning just like a normal moon.

A blood moon refers to a day when the moon is not a full moon, but suddenly and illogically becomes a full moon in a short period of time, and its color is as red as blood.
