Lord of Secrets

“I want to go see your show tonight.

Ifudes raised her head and looked at Ubermore, and said suddenly.

Ubermore joked: "Look at me acting like a clown, working hard to please the audience?"

"I will be the first one... to let the emperor become a clown just to please me." Evedes smiled.

"Then it seems I have to plan a performance plan for tonight." Ubermo pretended to be slightly distressed.

Ifudes took advantage of the situation and hugged Ubermore tightly, smiling even happier.

…

The night came as expected.

The circus was bustling with people, and most of them came here to see the fire master Loki. Compared to boring performances such as the lion passing through the fire ring, they were very excited about Rocky's novel performance.

"What is engraved in the bones of human beings is the fear of fire. But one day, someone challenged this taboo. He played with the flame in the palm of his hand and let the flame crawl under him."

Fein read out the text created by Ubermore and suddenly said loudly: "Who is he?"

"Loki!"

"Loki!"

…

"Loki the Fire Master!"

…

One after another, the sounds came and went, filled with flaming passion, as if they were going to ignite people's hearts, set their bodies on fire, and dance with the flames.

"Yes, he is Loki, the fire master Loki!"

As Fein's voice fell, the circus instantly turned dark, awakening people's fear of the night in ancient times.

The audience area fell silent instantly.

Immediately afterwards, low, hoarse and irregular sounds sounded intertwined with each other, like a forest full of murderous intent in the dark night.

People only felt a sense of depression.

Suddenly, flames ignited the darkness.

Clusters of sparks floated, beautiful, like elves of fire, dancing together, and then disappeared, as if they were dancing with life.

Immediately afterwards, the spark disappeared completely.

In the darkness, everyone saw a figure. He was tied to a cross. The dim flames emitted a faint fluorescent light. The unique cloak foreshadowed the identity of the other person.

——Loki.

At this time, a whip sound echoed across the stage.

Everyone saw that the dark red flame stream seemed to turn into a long whip, whipping Loki's body hard. The sparks spread like cracks and disappeared, as if the cloak was torn apart and then ignited.

The sound of gritting teeth immediately sounded in everyone's ears. The "gurgling" sound was like a stone constantly grinding against the heart, making people feel depressed and uncomfortable.

In this scene, it seems that Loki is being tortured.

The whip disappeared, the minutes passed, and Loki seemed to sleep, asleep in pain.

That's how the audience felt.

But for a moment, a branding iron emitting red light pressed hard on Loki's body, making a "sizzling" sound. In an instant, Loki was awakened by the pain.

But even in that situation, the other party still bit his mouth tightly and just let out a muffled groan instead of shouting loudly, as if that was a compromise.

——And Loki will never compromise.

In this way, constant torture was inflicted on Ubermo.

On the other side, several figures were sleeping soundly. Various noises did not disturb them. They slept very sweetly, and everyone could feel that they seemed to be having good dreams.

…

People felt something in their hearts. Even though they knew it was a performance, the atmosphere at the scene still made them feel as if they were in it. They closed their mouths tightly and did not speak.

Time passed slowly, and the night brought Loki not sleep, but pain.

Loki's gasping sound echoed in people's hearts, and everyone's vision suddenly focused on Loki's pale face covered with wounds, and then the corners of his mouth reluctantly raised.

"All your possessions will burn and maybe your back too!"

This seems to be Loki's words of revenge.

——Heavy and murderous.

But then, several figures holding torture tools began to use them on Loki.

Once again plunged into darkness.

People can no longer see Loki.

There was no sound at all, it was like deathly silence.

Finally, the figures lit a bonfire.

The figure seemed to be reveling in a carnival, while on the torture rack on the other side, Loki's head was hanging down, as if he was dying and was tortured into a coma.

But suddenly, the bonfire suddenly burst into flames and gradually formed the shape of a tent, as if the tent was lit.

And everyone saw that the gold in the tent box seemed to be melted by the flames, turning into gold water, flowing like a river.

At the same time, the backs of the figures were set on fire.

The flames were raging.

——Finally, the darkness gradually disappeared, and a sun seemed to appear in the sky. Loki smiled, with a hint of relief and expectation in his smile, and then, the sun gradually disappeared into Loki's body.

…

There was dead silence.

There was no one in the performance venue.

But people haven't recovered from their previous empathy.

At this time, Fei Yin's voice came out: "The name of this stage play is "Embracing the Sun in the Dark," and I would like to dedicate this to those who are full of disappointment in life."

…

Crimson filled Evedes' eyes, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, the corners of her eyes were slightly curved, her eyes became crystal clear, but her face was filled with a warm smile.

"I want to hug you!"

Evedes opened and closed her lips and spoke silently.

…

"Oh, it's really beautiful, but I, the King of Clowns, will never admit defeat." Losfei's painted face was firm.

Feiyin said on the side: "He should be a man with a story, and perhaps he has experienced pain that ordinary people can't imagine."

Feiyin suddenly thought of herself... But now her life is very good, and she hopes it can continue like this.

"He is just an arsonist." Sgullen belittled the other party.

...

"Tarido is connected with the Phantom Red Canon. She is probably one of the spies of the Phantom Red Canon in Lierli."

Panlalo came in from outside and said directly to Ubemo.

"Tarido?" Ubemo put down the book in his hand, wondering who it was.

But then, Ubemo reacted and realized that the other party was Nihuiji's wife, and he had met her at Bui's coming-of-age ceremony last time.

The other party left him with some not very good impressions, but the other party was very tactful.

Another point is that Nihuiji was the mastermind behind the child trafficking last time, and Tarido also appeared at the scene. At that time, Ubemo just let Panlalo choose whether to investigate or not, and he almost forgot about it after a long time.

Of course, it’s not that it’s been too long, but that things have been a bit outrageous recently, and Ubemo has no time to remember people like Tarido.

Then, Ubemo asked the other party’s fate: "Which fate is she?"

"She should be fate 6 'witch'." Panlalo answered truthfully.

Witch... Ubemo suddenly felt a little bit of pity for Nihuiji. If the previous fate is gradually feminized, then "witch" has truly changed gender.

If there is a slight possibility that Tarido was once a man... No, it should be very likely... Judging from the other party's name, the name "Tarido" is obviously masculine... I don’t know if Nihuiji will be angry and come back to life after death. Of course, it is also possible that Nihuiji doesn’t mind, but becomes more excited.

"So? Is this the result of your investigation?" Ubemo came back to his senses and looked at Panlalo.

"No!" Panlalo shook his head. "Tarido should know about the child trafficking, but it is highly unlikely that he was the one who instigated it, because Nihuiji had already started before she married Nihuiji.

"But I have gained a lot from this trip. I feel that someone from the Red Canon has come to Lierli, but I feel that the other party is very dangerous, so I did not continue to investigate."

Ubermo thought deeply for a while, and suddenly got a clue. The person who came to Lierli was most likely Sigarda.

Things seemed to have been foreshadowed early.

Laer, that is, Horus, started from the Maria Tavern and caused a series of changes, which eventually led to two disasters in Xisong.

Since Tarido is from the Red Canon, it is possible that he has some connection with Bidora, the wife of the city lord of Xisong, and Sigarda has thus connected with Tarido.

...

Ubermo then said, "Don't worry about Tarido. "

Ubermo has no plans to meet Scarlett for the time being, because Scarlett had her own plans for leaving, and Ubermo vaguely feels that she is very conflicted.

So everything is up to fate.

It can be left to fate. The two of them may be connected on the street because of the effect of the mysterious seal, and they will naturally meet at that time.

However, Ubermo will not give him too much time.

Perhaps he must meet her before he leaves Yuri, otherwise he doesn't know what the other party will do. Now let Panlalo monitor the other party a little.

Panlalo then talked about what Ubermo cares about, those nursery rhymes.

However, Ubermo has a headache. It is difficult to tell whether there are too many nursery rhymes or too few.

"Which ones have appeared recently? "

Ubemo asked immediately.

"That "Rabbit Ballad"" Panlalo responded.

Ubemo then thought about the content of "Rabbit Ballad":

"The big rabbit is sick, the second rabbit takes care of it, the third rabbit buys medicine, the fourth rabbit boils it, the fifth rabbit dies, the sixth rabbit carries it, the seventh rabbit digs a hole, the eighth rabbit buries it, the ninth rabbit sits on the ground and cries, the tenth rabbit asks it why it cries? The ninth rabbit said: The fifth rabbit never comes back! ”

The core of this nursery rhyme is the death of five rabbits.

And recently, something happened.

——Birchley died.

But, death, isn’t that normal?

So many people die in Yuri every day, is it all related to nursery rhymes?

The key to unraveling all this is whether this nursery rhyme is one of "Leante's Nursery Rhymes". If it is, then it is worth investigating.

Ubemo then used "Spy".

A few seconds later, Ubemo knocked on the table quietly without saying a word.

Because everything is normal.

The origin of "Rabbit Ballad" is normal.

But this doesn't mean anything.
