Mysterious Catastrophe

Mysterious Tribulation Author: Wen Chaogong

brief introduction:

The mysterious recovery, the dawn of the gods, must be a good thing?

Accompanied by the recovery of spiritual energy, there is also... the terror of no solution!

A strange surname, a soul that travels between two worlds, a mysterious epic...

Chapter 1 Breaking out of the marriage at the beginning, happy

In a dark, damp cave.

The dark flames of the white candles reflected a dozen or so figures in black robes, twisting and squirming ferociously on the rock wall...

"Mother of Nature, Queen of the Forest, Source of Thousands of Life!"

"I offer sacrifices to you with fanatical piety, offering the blood of the enemy, the flesh of the prey, and the bones of the ancestors!"

"Please grant me a good harvest, please grant me youth, please grant me strength..."

……

The leading figure prayed loudly, cut a piece of fat venison with the silver dagger in his hand, and offered it to the stone altar.

On the altar, there are also large mottled bloodstains, internal organs, intestines, and a few white bones.

Drops of dark red blood flowed down the crevices of the stone platform.

Bloody, scary, mysterious...

Everything, as if some evil god believer is holding a sacrifice.

Aaron Sotos has a pious expression, and moves with the trend sternly, but there is no wave in his heart, and he even wants to laugh.

'Through 16 years, I am sure and affirmed that there is no supernatural power in this area, including the original worship of the Sotos family--the god-[Green Banyan Grandmother]. '

'Of course, in this barbaric era where beliefs and habits are deeply rooted, it would be foolish to boldly reveal that you are an unbeliever. Which religious reform in history did not kill people?Even in another world! '

'What's more, the chief priest of the Sotos family is the father of my body, a rigid nobleman, and I'm just the second son, confronting him, saying that the gods are just vain... looking for death? '

'In addition, we have to admit that religion is still very useful in paralyzing the people and consolidating feudal rule. '

Therefore, even if it is acting, Aaron Sotos has to follow the people around him and play the role of the lord's second son well.

He has dark curly hair, light purple eyes that seem to contain infinite wisdom and mystery, the lips under the bridge of the nose often carry a hint of a smile, and his tall and slender figure makes it easy to fall in love with him at first sight.

Although Aaron made some complaints about the surname of the Sotos family, he was still very grateful that he could be reincarnated in a noble family.

After all, in this ancient society where the infant mortality rate was extremely high, the literacy rate of civilians was extremely low, and people could die at any time due to a rain or traumatic infection, being a nobleman would at least not starve to death, and they would still have access to education. Opportunity.

Because he has been a human being for two lifetimes and has a more cautious personality, although he is the second son, Aaron is doing well, and because he is afraid of dying of illness, he insists on exercising and has a strong physique.

While thinking wildly, he followed a large number of men in black. In fact, it was the high-level officials of Sothos territory who completed the ceremony, and a group of people walked out of the cave one by one.

Whoops!

The fresh air rushes towards your face, making you unconsciously want to take a deep breath.

Aaron looked back and saw that the original cave was located under a huge banyan tree. The huge canopy covered the sky and the sun, and many air roots were hanging down from the branches. Thousands of roots were deeply immersed in the stone wall. A strange symbiotic state has been formed.

In the distance, the sun is shining, the blue sky is cloudless, and at the end of the road covered with mud and gravel, there is a European-style building mainly built of logs. A few young shoots full of vitality.

As the breeze blew, there were pitch-black ravens circling and flying, making hoarse and ugly calls.

An abnormal steed, a black raven with a cylinder tied to its leg, landed in the center of the building, in a castle tower built of huge rocks, on a certain window.

"The crow crowing is an ominous omen, but in this world, the raven is only used as the lord's messenger, so there is no such unlucky statement..."

"The contact raven has arrived, it seems that something happened in the castle."

Aaron thought casually.

"Let's go back to the castle!"

The headed man in black, the chief priest who presided over the sacrifice before, also took off his black robe, revealing the gray wolf fur jacket he was wearing, with a trace of a long sword chopping on the wolf's head, and a pair of moccasin boots on his feet. His face was resolute, like granite, and his deep purple eyes were also staring in the direction of the castle.

This was Theodore Sothoth, Aaron's father, protector of the Lower Green Forest, lord of Sothoth's domain, a majestic ruler.

He gave orders in a low voice, threw the black robe to Aaron, and got on the horse without looking at his son.

A group of people left quickly, and one of them, a young man with blond hair in his twenties, looked back, as if comforting, but also as if showing off and complacent.

He rode a pure white horse and followed closely behind Theodore, as if to declare his status as the heir to the territory.

Aaron didn't realize it. After all, he didn't have any feelings for his half-brother Colin, so he waited quietly until the end.

He could feel Colin's slight hostility towards him, but not too much, probably because he didn't have much threat.

After all, as a tire wearer, it must be awkward to act coquettish and cute when you were young, and any relationship needs investment and cultivation.

The sons of other people who have been raised for more than ten years may be a little closer than the biological sons who have never been raised.

As a child, Aaron had a hard time getting close to a stranger.

Over time, Theodore's indifference and alienation towards Aaron was taken for granted.

Aaron has no regrets, though.

A threatening heir is more of an irritant to Colin, and his third brother, who broke his leg while riding a horse, is a good example.

Well, this third brother was born to the third wife married by his father Theodore. One of his first two wives died of dystocia and the other died of illness, and this third Mrs. Sonia, not only for He bore a son and a daughter.

Aaron rode skillfully on his nanny horse, and followed a group of people back to the castle.

At the gate of the castle, a group of people were already waiting.

Headed by Theodore's wife Sonia and sister Ginny, in addition to the butler and bachelor in the castle.

At this time, the bachelor was holding a letterhead in his hand.

Theodore took it and browsed it quickly, his expression became ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "The Davis family in the upper green forest wants to dissolve the sacred marriage contract signed under the banyan tree. This is a declaration of war!"

Aaron immediately saw that Colin's proud face seemed to have been slashed.

'Well, after all, it was Colin who was engaged to the Davis family... It's not scientific that I, a time traveler, got divorced!Although... I don't have a fiancee...'

He secretly complained in his heart, and looked at Colin with some sympathy.

Even for some transmigrators who lived as human beings in the second life, being divorced is a great shame, let alone an ordinary teenager?

Chapter 2 I really don't want to destroy the world

In order to pursue defense, medieval castles were built with huge rocks, with small windows and poor lighting conditions.

Especially in the hall of Sothosburg, even in the daytime, many candles are lit.

Aaron stood in the corner, watching his father, elder brother, and a group of knights arguing fiercely, but his eyes were fixed on those white candles.

'In this world with low productivity, civilians also use candles or oil lamps for lighting, but castles use beeswax candles, which rarely produce smoke when burned, while civilians can only use paraffin candles or animal fat... If you use too much, your eyes may be damaged They will all be fumigated. '

As for the arguments between his father and his staff, as well as the conflict with the territory next door, Aaron knew it clearly.

Speaking of which, he really admires the time travelers in the novels of his previous life, the kind of erudition who can promote the development of science and technology, and even industrial upgrading, like an encyclopedia in his mind.

When I came to him, as a liberal arts monk, I could only recall some extremely limited and incomplete information.

Of course, even extremely limited data are extremely precious in this era.

But how to say, Aaron Sotos is really not excited.

After all, with the orthodox heir Colin, Theodore, as a veteran aristocrat, could not allow himself to inherit the territory. In order to centralize power, Theodore also rejected any act of splitting the territory.

As the second son of the family, at most he will receive a meager gift of money when he grows up, and then he will have to fend for himself.

Aaron also tried once, and after many failures, he found out how to make cheap and durable paper, and built a paper workshop.

Then the father in his name only gave a verbal compliment, and ordered the housekeeper to take the workshop into public ownership.

This move immediately made Aaron die, and he also understood his situation.

Although the reincarnation technique is good, but after all, it is a little bit close.

Not only the ancient oriental ethics cannibalism, but also the western rules.

In the territory, the word of the lord is the law!Any struggle without strength is a joke!

He even needs to be thankful that he is not a commoner or even a serf at the bottom.

Once, Aaron saw a clever serf boy who wanted to report corruption to the tax official while Colin was patrolling the farmland.

Then, before the other party rushed to Colin's side, he was directly kicked half to death by the guards because he blocked the noble lord's way with his dirty body!

As for the content of the shout, Colin didn't even bother to listen!

Since then, Aaron has become more cautious, or rather silent.

As for killing Colin and going straight to the top?

To be honest, he had thought about it before, but after weighing the supporters of both sides and the status in Theodore's heart, he still gave up this not-so-attractive idea.

After all, because of his own weakness, although Ke Lin didn't like him very much, and he didn't kill him directly, he still felt a little bit upset about asking him to strike first.

However, a mere paper-making workshop is regarded as the reward for eating and drinking for so many years.

The conflict between the Sotos family and the Davis family also arose because of this workshop.

Because the profits of the paper-making workshop aroused the covetousness of the Davis family, some spies were sent before, and the patriarchs of the two sides discussed it several times, and finally signed a peace agreement.

But now...

"The Davis family is not satisfied with our previous plan, and wants more..."

Theodore pulled out the dagger and nailed it firmly to the wooden table, the end was still trembling: "We want them to know that they made a huge mistake!"

The men in the hall howled savagely, and among them, Colin blushed the most and had a thick neck.

Aaron also shouted a few slogans, with little interest.

For some reason, Theodore glanced at the corner: "Aaron, you are also 16 years old, you are an adult, and it's time to go to the battlefield to get your merits."

"Yes, father." Aaron was silent for a while, and responded frankly.

After all, this is a society where two lords can fight for a wild boar. It is lucky enough for me to delay the battle until now.

……

Night falls.

"Even so, I have to go to the battlefield for Colin because of his divorce. I'm really upset. Swords and arrows have no eyes, and I might die... I can't bear to miss the maid at home..."

Aaron was shirtless, waved his hand, and let a beautiful maid with a blush come out of the room, looking at the closed door, thinking to himself.

At this time, Aaron felt that he had no desires or desires in his heart, like a sage, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

His sleep quality has always been good, and he can basically fall asleep with the pillow on his head.

"When I close my eyes, the world doesn't exist..."

……

The body was falling, and there was a sudden shock.

Aaron opened his eyes and saw a blue ocean: "Here again, this dream again!"

As a time traveler, he still has a golden finger. Although it is very useless, he will enter this dream as soon as he falls asleep, and he remains awake, as if he is in a lucid dream.

As a baby, Aaron entered this dream and saw the blue sea.

As for himself, he was in a very strange state, as if he was suspended above the surface of the sea, and he seemed to have no weight at all.

He is like a ghost, any object can pass through him, but he has no strength and cannot pick up a speck of dust.

It's like... a pure observer, a prisoner in a fixed position.

Aaron even suspected that this was just a special dream, not some cheating finger.

It wasn't until he tried many times later that he found that all he had entered was the same dream, that he finally had to admit that this place might not be a dream, but a different world.

"But... why is it located in a sea?"

Aaron was speechless, he almost threw up looking at the sea level.
