Tribulation of Mysteries

Chapter 47:

After some exploration, Olivia and Lin roughly understood how to use this ‘strange object’.

Its ability was quite powerful, especially ‘animation’! It could animate and control all life within a few hundred metres, even inanimate objects.

For example… it had previously animated the chair and made the chair ‘give birth’ to the wooden staff.

At the same time, it also had some flesh and blood magic and healing abilities.

It could be said that Lin would even dare to fight the high priest if she held this staff.

This was an extraordinary item that completely surpassed her current level!

Moreover, since it had been purified, its side effects did not seem to be very strong.

“Hmm, let’s call it the ‘Flesh Sceptre’. I have a general understanding of its side effects, it will cause the wielder to gradually develop a fetish with the people nearby, and it will become more and more severe, unable to be removed or treated holding it through a gloves is useless.”

Lin forced herself to look away, resisting the desire to touch the Flesh Sceptre, and spoke with a trembling voice.

“Indeed its side effects are not too strong, and compared to its effects, it is negligible as long as one has a strong will and determination.”

Olivia coughed, “Let’s put it away as soon as possible …”

Lin found a long box, and the moment the box was closed, they both let out a long sigh.

“This belongs to our master!”

Lin thought for a moment and spoke in a serious tone.

Although the sceptre mainly contained the power of the Crimson Moon, the creator was still the Spirit of Falsehood!

“Yes, this is a gift from our master!”

Olivia said with a face full of joy.

“I want to offer it to our Master, but our Master is yet to accept our physical sacrifices.”

Lin sighed weakly.

…

“Huff … Huff …”

Aaron sat up from the bed and rubbed his ears, feeling a ringing in them. Fortunately, it was fading, and after resting for a while, he felt much better.

“Is this the influence of the Crimson Moon?”

He muttered to himself, “Although the pollution has been washed away. I still have to overcome it’s influence on my mind.”

“I can actually fight the Crimson Moon, it seems that my potential is high enough even though it was only in a dream.”

This time, Lin’s behaviour was a bit too reckless.

Even Aaron couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought about it. His followers had almost been wiped out and he had almost returned to his former state.

He rang the bell and summoned Daly. After dressing up, he went to the dining room to enjoy breakfast.

Nowadays Aaron’s life was quite regular. After getting up early each day, he would exercise and take care of some official business. Then he would take a nap in the afternoon.

Then he would go out in the afternoon to patrol the territory. After dinner, he went to bed early.

All in all, it was a matter of staying in the dream world as long as possible.

After all, that was the source of the extraordinary!

Compared to the extraordinary, what was the power and influence of the mortal world?

Especially after experiencing that mysterious power for himself, Aaron looked down on this small place even more.

In this world, nothing could compare to the joy of pursuing the extraordinary.

As long as he stayed on this path, even if he couldn’t become immortal, he wouldn’t have many regrets.

“At least… I’m doing something that interests me.”

Aaron finished his breakfast of fruit salad, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and went to the office.

Eight Fingers was waiting at the door. Something had obviously happened.

“What happened?”

Aaron rubbed his forehead. His territory seemed to be in constant turmoil.

Even though it had been over a month since the incident with Knight Iman.

“It’s Blackstone territory. It seems that a group of bandits came here recently. They broke into Dave’s garden last night, injured him and stole a lot of vegetables and food…”

Eight Fingers bowed.

“A band of bandits on the move?”

Aaron thought for a moment. “Could it be that the recent security battles in the Uppper Green Forest have forced them to move?”

In thus era, there are many people who cannot survive. It wasn’t unusual for them to become bandits.

There were even farmers who would change their profession to become robbers or thugs if they found the right opportunity!

It was all about survival!

When ordinary lords encountered such criminal gangs, they would catch them if they could. If they couldn’t catch them, they would drive them into other people’s territories.

Aaron’s sense of responsibility was a little stronger. So he had a special security officer and a special patrol team.

“Eight Fingers.”

He looked at Eight Fingers with a smile on his face. “Could it be that you can’t catch these little rats? I remember that with your previous profession it should be easy for you to blend in with them and get a lot of information, right? ”

Eight Fingers used to be a thief. It was indeed easy for him to blend in with bandits. At least he was well informed.

Speaking of which, Eight Fingers immediately smiled bitterly. “When I first followed Sir, I swore in my grandmother’s name that if I continued to mix with them, I would be captured by a wolf! These wandering bandits are usually more vicious than the local bandits. After committing a crime, they will hide deep in the mountains or flee directly to other territories. Therefore, it is very difficult to catch them. I have vaguely heard that the leader of this bandit group is called ‘Wild Wolf’. He is a famous bandit in the Upper Green Forest. It is said that he is also related to some wild villages.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll have Sanchez bring ten men to help you. They’ll be equipped with bows and leather armour.”

Aaron wrote out a warrant and handed it to Eight Fingers. “Don’t let me down, my security officer!”

“Please be assured, sir!”

Eight Fingers thumped his chest and turned to walk away.

Aaron looked behind him and nodded. Then he shook his head and prepared for his daily training.

…

Outside the manor.

A wandering farmer saw Eight Fingers leave and immediately hid in a house. He secretly released a raven from the back window.

The raven flew to the edge of Blackstone Territory and landed in a black forest.

A thick hand grabbed it and took off the note. “Boss, the messenger raven has sent a message. The lord doesn’t seem to want to do it himself.”

His boss was a muscular man who was 2.5 metres tall. He was sitting on a big rock like a little giant, chewing on a deer leg bone.

This muscular man had a high nose and deep eyes. On one side of his face were three claw marks, like those left by wild animals. He stood up. “Looks like we didn’t do enough damage. Tonight I’ll do it myself and teach that little bastard a lesson. Hahaha…”

In the entire Wild Wolf Bandit group, only a few people knew that they had actually received support and funding.

At that moment, there was an order from above to deal with Lord Aaron!
