Chapter 619 The Order of Worshiping the Moon

"Yes, in the local business in Carson There are a lot of people in Kees, who brought the traditional beliefs from the south of the Rommel Mountains. This is very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly. If you need it, you can go to the Chamber of Commerce of the merchants in Carsenrich to learn about the situation."

"Worship the fire and ask the inn Boss Thales, and the Southern Faith asks the Chamber of Commerce"

Shade wrote down these things, and the poet is not surprised that he took out his notebook to record :

"In addition, although the cult of the legendary great old man [Gemini God] has disappeared, there should be some local experts in this field, you can go to professional folklore professors Ask, there is also a university at Fort Midhill."

Shade nods:
"So is there anything else? Like death worship?"

The poet is like As reminded, he clenched his left hand and hit the palm of his right hand:
"There are some, but it is not accurate to say that it is worship, it should be said to respect death. In our city, the matter of death is very special. I've always believed that death is the beginning of another great adventure, and maybe the world after death will be very exciting."

It's a pity that the world after death is just a piece of water, and the soul can only go on. .

"So, there is no local group that worships death?"

"If there were, it would have been banned by the Orthodox Church. Didn't the Natural Church keep promoting it? Great [ The Lord of Nature is in charge of Death Power."

The poet drew the holy emblem on his chest, and Shade also understood that he was a follower of the god of nature. The holy emblem of the god of nature is two leaves together, and the corpse transporter who transported the body of Mister Luo was also a believer.

In Shade, the nod continued to record, he originally thought that a city located on the largest [Living and Death Narrows] in the material world could at least give birth to a similar group
"Wait, for death Isn't the worship group the [spirit cultivator]?"

The two waiters who were called upstairs to question just now walked back, and the people who stayed on the first floor immediately surrounded Went in the past and wanted to know what was going on here. Shade saw that the poet was also very concerned, so he asked him to inquire about the situation.

The poet walked back after a while, looking dejected:

"It's really dead, a Southerner was beaten to death."

The term "Southern guy" by the Midhills people generally refers to the Carsonricks, which is a slightly discriminatory term.

"Did the first shot kill you?"

Shade curiously asked.

"Yes, they said the upstairs was covered with white cloth."

"Who shot? We heard two shots just now."

"The first shot was fired by the murderer, and the second was also fired by him. As the two officers went upstairs, he fired a shot at the stairwell and hid on the fourth floor. Police We believe that the other party failed to escape, so they are now trying to find the guy who shot from the tenants and servants on the fourth floor."

The poet said what he had heard, but Shade clearly Hearing the second shot is not the same as the first:
"That murderer has two guns? Who would go out with two guns?"

[You. ]

Shade really can't refute this sentence.

The bard sitting across the table took another sip of ale, then continued the conversation under the gaslight:

"Finally, the local beliefs worth mentioning should also include The tradition of worshiping the moon."

Shade's smile sparked even more interest. Not long ago, Mother-in-law Kassandra said that there are blood-sucking ethnic groups in the region, but they are all hidden as ordinary citizens, perhaps worshiping the moon, referring to those creatures:
"This sounds very interesting, the emergence of localized worship , it should be related to the local history and natural environment. But as far as I know, there are no very good moon viewing sites on Fort Midhill and Mount Sikar, and there are not too many legends related to the moon. How can there be Moon worship tradition?"

"no no no, it's just that outsiders don't understand it. In fact, there are moon viewing spots on Mount Xikar, but even some locals don't know it."

"Where?"

"By the lake on the top of the mountain."

"There is a top lake on Mount Sikor?"

Shade was slightly surprised, but thought This is an extinct volcano, and it seems normal.

"The ancient tradition of worshiping the moon has long been lost, and it can only be seen from those poems and stories." Another patted head:
"However, there were rumors a few years ago that someone saw a group of women wearing gauze skirts like ghosts in the mountains on the night of the full moon in March, with silver blindfolds and Wear the veil and walk towards the top of the mountain."

This sounds like a [spirit cultivator sect], but they may not go to worship the moon, but take advantage of the special time of the full moon in March to hold a ceremony in the mountains what a ceremony.

But after the poet's reminder, Shade thought of another thing. Augustus priest mentioned that there are actually three passages leading directly to real death in [The Narrow Room of Life and Death], which are located at the top of the mountain, the mountainside and the city of Midhills at the foot of the mountain.

At that spot on the top of the mountain, Augustus priest claims to be sealed by an ancient being. Combining the "volcanic eruption" that the Prophet Association believes may not be spewing lava, Shade speculates that the location of the passage on the top of the mountain is around the top of the lake in the [Life and Death].

“In other words, Midhill Castle still has localized beliefs left in the contemporary era, and only the twin worship, the beliefs brought by the southerners and the tradition of fire worship remain.”

Shade concludes, the poet nodded:

"At least it seems to me. Oh, may I have another ale? This batch is comparable to the one in the summer Much better."

Shade beckoned the waiter to come over and bought another glass of ale for the informative bard, and he drank the glass of cider or cider in front of him. , then stood up to say goodbye to the poet.

He intends to learn about the local traditional beliefs, and the southern beliefs are formed too late, so they can be ignored for the time being. It is now two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are only two hours left before meeting with Auguste Priest, and he goes to the university to ask about the twins Worship is definitely too late.

So, he wants to talk to the inn boss.

But now the Inn Boss is involved in the murder on the fourth floor, so Shade finds a way to make this murder investigation quicker.

For example, helping the police find the gunman hiding on the fourth floor.

Dorothy once gave Shade a pendant with the royal crest, which would allow Shade to get help at the Midhills City Police Department. But the person who sought help was the local deputy chief. Ordinary police officers, sheriffs and even inspectors would not know the pendant, so this time, he still had to use the identity of MI6.

After saying goodbye to the poet, Shade tidied up his clothes, walked to the policeman guarding the hotel entrance, and shook his ID card:
"I want to talk to the sheriff about something. Just a moment."

The surname "Hamilton" is listed on the document, but fortunately Hamilton is not an uncommon surname.

And in Delarion, only lunatics dare to pretend to be MI6 people. The police officer recognized that it was MI6's document, and after standing at attention to say hello, he immediately led Shade upstairs to find the sheriff on the fourth floor.

The bard holding the ale looked curiously at the silhouette of Shade disappearing at the entrance of the stairs:
"I don't think I met the very powerful people in the stories and legends, right? "

He put one arm on the table, took a sip of wine, and continued to look at the people on the first floor of the Sikar Hotel in a bored way:
"How is that possible."
