Regaining consciousness, I found myself at the entrance of the cave in my memory. I looked around and found that I still the same white light as before.While I thought, could it be any more bizarre? I could hear people talking from inside the cave. I'm just wondering what's going on on either side. It might help to solve some puzzles. The white light that seemed to be my body now floated deep into the cave almost instantly.
I could see not less than 10 people in the middle of the cave,a cave still the same as when i wake up. Except it was full of people cloaked up to their heads and there was no mysterious door. The strangest thing was that even my white light was within reach of these people. But it's like they can't see me or perceive me at all.
At that moment, one of the hooded men spoke up,
"Are you sure there's only one child here?"
"Absolutely sure. I used the scepter of the Ancient Orchid to feel the life force, searching 100 meters from the mouth of the cave, I couldn't feel any other humans."
Another man immediately replied. He carried a wooden scepter that looked like a big red-eyed orchid-like flower on top of the scepter.
At that moment I tried to look around. see a platform high above the ground in front of the people in hooded robes. There were many things on the platform . Both rings and necklaces of gold that look precious and seems to have some power aura from them.
A strange herb that had never been in my memory before. and most notice is the figure of a young woman. Her appearance was ordinary. It doesn't have any special features. What is noteworthy is that she appears to be alive but unconscious.
At that moment, the same man standing in front of what would be like a ceremonial altar went on to say,
"We can't be late. If we miss tonight, we may not be able to find another woman who meets the requirements again."
"Everyone, hurry to the designated magic point."
After this group of people had been stationed The person who seemed to be the leader of the group.He took out an old-looking scroll that seemed ready to be torn at any moment from his cloak.He carefully unrolled the scroll. and read what was inside with a loud voice echoing through the cave.
"By the power of the Lord Please accept the sacrifice from your faithful servants."
Suddenly, a bright light shone in the spot of the altar. along with the screams of a young woman Her body was writhing in pain. But strangely, she seemed unconscious despite crying out in pain. The crowd of people in hooded clothes shouted out in joy.
"Successfully, the ancient scrolls can actually summon the Lord from the Eternal Realm."
"Our ten-year effort has been successful. We will be blessed with immortality from God."
It was at that moment that I heard a very faint female voice from the altar. But it sounded clear in my head.
"If Lord Almighty exists, please listen to my words. Please send news to my parents that I'm sorry. and don't worry about me anymore I apologize for not being able to repay their grace...my bracelet."
I could feel the image of a bracelet worn by a young woman who looked like the woman on the altar.Immediately, a white light flew towards the bracelet. I don't know what to do, just try to get close to see if there's anything special. At that moment, the light touched the girl's bracelet. White light had penetrated the entire bracelet.
All of a sudden, my vision changed dramatically.
In my head was a picture of a woman with a noble appearance. She was sitting on the bed crying. At that moment, a beautiful middle-aged woman in a noble dress walked in and sat beside her and said,
"I understand that you do not want to marry. But now our family is in dire straits. If it wasn't for the Luthwell family to help, our family might soon be overthrown by the enemy."
"This is a bracelet that has long been handed down in my mother's family. You shalt wear it to know that your father and mother will always be by your side. The survival of our Fragrill family depends on you, so please understand your father and mother."
In an instant, all the images disappeared and returned to the dark cave again. Along with the voice of the head of the hooded man.
"Great Lord, I am Stud Luthwell, the Leader of the Luthwell family and friends. those who are loyal to the Lord"
"We come today with a sacrifice for you. Please bless our loyal ones with eternal life. so that I may be of service to you forever."
After everything in the cave seemed to stand still. After a few moments of silence in the cave. There was a reverberating sound that seemed to be loud from far away But I could feel it as a loud voice in front of me at the altar.
"Hmm… you all did a great job. as my loyal servant I will bless you with eternal life. so that he may serve me forever."
In an instant, a bright light from the altar bathed the bodies of all the hooded figures. followed by howling screams as if they were experiencing unspeakable pain. As soon as the light disappeared, all the robed figures disappeared without a trace.
The only thing left was the boy's figure lying outside of the strange circle symbol on the ground. When I looked back at the altar, the bright light had disappeared.
But something else appeared instead. It seemed to be a cloud of black smoke that tried to condense into the shape of a human being.
"You low-level beings The hope of an immortal life like a god like you is worthless. But it became a food to increase my strength to recover again. Consider it your good fortune to serve me."
"Huh? It seems that there are still more outside the magic circle."
Suddenly, a cloud of smoke stretched out to cover the boy's body.
The boy looked like he was trying to fight something and cried out in pain unconsciously.
But something unexpected happened. The scene in front of me seemed to stand still. It was like time suddenly stopped. A large black door slowly emerged behind the mysterious cloud of smoke. In an instant, time seemed to continue. with the door opening quickly Something stronger than the Mysterious Clouds sucked it towards the door.
"What is this enormous power? even my Lord can't compare this power."
"Aw, it's trying to suck me in. No, I don't want to be a sacrifice!!"
After a few moments, a white light flashed out from the mysterious door. It floated around the cavern. until it came to a float still over the boy's body. and gradually came down disappeared into the boy's body
Suddenly I felt like the world had turned and the sight in front of me had turned into an empty cave. The mysterious door that had previously closed had disappeared without a trace.
"It seemed to me that I had just seen what happened in the cave earlier. people in hoods They disappeared with the girl and all the things on the altar."
"Huh?"
I saw something dropped near my feet.
"Isn't this the woman's bracelet I saw on the altar?"
"How did it get here? when i wake up I'm sure nothing has dropped here."
The only possibility I could think of was that it came out of the door with my white light. It sounds very silly. But no matter how unbelievable Now I'm ready to believe that anything is possible.
I bent down to pick up the bracelet on the floor. It was the same as that was seen before. But I don't see any image popping into my head after touch it this time. The only thing I felt was that this bracelet was warm. Although the atmosphere in the cave was very cold right now.I didn't know where to put it so I wore it on my wrist.
I seem to get many answers. But more questions were added even more.
"What is this world? What is the Eternal Land? What are the gods? Does God really exist?...and what should I do now?"
Everything that seemed clear became even more confusing. Before I lost my mind with the confusion that popped into my head. I could feel the warmth radiating from my wrist throughout my body. This caused the mind that was in serious confusion to calm down again.
"The bracelet help me?"
Just now, even though I felt very cold because of the air in the room But now i felt my body warmed and the feeling of exhaustion I had seemed to improve.
It seemed that this bracelet was not just an ordinary accessory. But now I think I can't find the answer to many things. First of all, I have to stay calm. and find a way out of the forest and return to my home as quickly as possible
