Chapter 254: The Singer of Silence, the Lord of Bones
The book that Christine gave them at the last moment before they came back had the name "Silence, Bones, and the Road of the Dead" on the cover.
Author, Anonymous.
Because they couldn't explain its specific origin, Byrne and Chris could only study this book containing many mystical records in private in another part of the canyon.
"You haven't seen it?"
Chris stared at Byrne, unusually surprised.
He knew how much Byrne loved reading, and Byrne must have read most of the books in the Fisher family's study rooms.
And Byrne should be able to remember any book he has read.
"Indeed not."
Byrne shook his head slowly and said, "Just like you said, I have read most of the books in the Fisher family's collection, if not every one of them, so the answer is very simple. This book "Silence, Bones, and the Road to the Dead" should have entered the Fisher family in recent years."
"During the time we were stuck in the canyon."
He flipped through the occult book in his hand and gradually frowned.
According to the book "Silence, Bones, and the Road of the Dead", there are a total of twenty-four great otherworldly gods in the endless multiverse.
They possess a terrifying power that is unmatched by any other god and can easily cause heaven and earth to turn upside down and the world to fall!
The author of this book is one of the believers of the otherworldly God.
The name of that otherworldly god is...
"Song of Silence..."
Just as Byrne was about to pronounce the name, the surroundings suddenly became cold, as if everything had become very quiet and all the sounds had suddenly disappeared.
Chris's expression was also very solemn. He didn't dare to move at all, as if he might die at any time.
what happened?
He took a deep breath and didn't dare to continue reading.
What's going on?
Byrne slowly shook his head at Chris and was about to speak when he suddenly found that the terrifying atmosphere around him was gradually fading away.
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Byrne thought for a moment and muttered to himself:
"It seems that His full name also carries a very strong mysterious power. We cannot pronounce His name directly, so we will use 'The Singer' instead."
He continued reading. The contents of the book were very important and would determine whether the few people could leave here.
The Singer of Silence is one of the twenty-four great gods of the world.
He is also an otherworldly God.
The representative time is 2:00 a.m. every day.
At the same time, the Silent Singer represents death and silence. He is the absolute master of the world of the dead. In the hearts of all living beings, his image is that of an elegant gentleman wearing a bone mask.
It is said that whenever the Singer of Silence descends upon the world, the entire country will fall into a deathly silence, everything will stop, and people's souls will sink into the world of the dead.
The followers of the Silent Singer have one thing in common: they refuse to speak unless necessary, and they try not to make any sound in their lives.
Therefore, a person who talks incessantly and likes noise can never be His faithful believer.
The Silent Singer they believe in possesses very powerful powers.
That is a power that is unimaginable to the living.
The singer's song is silent and quiet. When He really begins to sing, the whole world will die completely in silence.
"The God from the Other World..."
Byrne and Chris looked at each other. They both had some idea about the God from Otherworldly.
Those gods called "Gods of Otherworldly Places" are all extremely mysterious and possess terrible powers, and the believers who believe in those gods are often crazy, terrible, and weird, which makes people full of fear.
The "Chaos Star" believed in by the Star Club is undoubtedly also a terrifying otherworldly god.
If what is written in those books is true, they all have the power to destroy the world.
However, most books contain exaggerated descriptions of the gods.
And Byrne and his companions were completely unable to tell the difference between these otherworldly gods and mysterious beings like the God of the Sea who were powerful enough to be called gods.
Are they stronger or weaker than gods like the Lord of Redemption and the Lord of Storms?
The only thing that the Fisher family can confirm is that the great Lord of the Lost is the most powerful god, and all gods other than Him are false gods!
Byrne murmured to himself:
"The Silent Words are a cult of believers who worship the Singers. They are spread across the worlds. They worship death and silence. Their ultimate pursuit is to gain 'peace of mind'."
"Peace of mind..."
He paused, feeling very strange, and said without getting confused:
"They want to die peacefully. It's strange, isn't it, that some people would consider 'death' as the ultimate goal of life."
Chris thought for a long time and said calmly: "It's not necessarily strange."
Byrne was stunned for a moment. Perhaps only someone like Chris could understand.
After all, he is the one who walks on the path of silence.
Byrne flipped through the book in his hand and continued:
"This page records the story about bones. About three thousand years ago in the Oden Continent, there was a powerful apocalypse known as the 'Lord of Bones'. He was the founder of the Silent Words Cult in this Krad world."
“He will transform the bones of friends and enemies into strange and mysterious things like white jade, and those bones will have strange magical powers.”
"It is said that the Lord of Bones has never spoken a word since he founded the Language of Silence."
"He possessed extremely terrible power. He once tried to summon the Singer through sacrifice, completely destroying the entire country and murdering millions of people. He finally died at the hands of the previous Pope of Redemption and failed to complete the final ritual."
“…”
Byrne continued to look through the records about the Lord of Bones, trying to find something related to the Valley of Bones, but he never found anything relevant.
Finally, he found a few sentences that might be useful, about the so-called "Road of the Dead."
That was a special trial conceived by the Lord of Bones, and only those who had gone through this trial would be qualified to serve as priests of the Word of Silence.
It was only because the casualty rate of this trial was too high that after continuing for a thousand years, the "Road of the Dead" was eventually completely abandoned by the later generations of the Quiet Language.
Byrne thought for a while, then became a little happier and analyzed: "This valley we are in might be a so-called trial field!"
"It's just that we haven't really started the trial yet, so we've been wandering around here without any way out."
"If we can start the trial and complete it, we will have a chance to leave this valley!"
Here comes the problem.
Byrne really wanted to know how to truly unlock the "Road of the Dead" trial of the Whisper of Silence, but this part was not fully recorded in this book. There were only a few strange and unrelated words.
"Silence", "Bones", "Mist", "Wall".
hateful!
Why is the most critical content not recorded completely?
He took a deep breath and began to think, how can he truly start the trial?
As Byrne thought about it, he wondered how he could tell Aldridge and the others about this matter. How could he explain it so that those people would not suspect that he and Chris had just left the valley?
Chris folded his hands and thought about it, then nodded slightly.
Byrne was stunned and noticed the confidence in Chris's eyes, as if he already knew how to officially start the trial.
"How to do it?"
Chris held up a finger and made a "shush" gesture.
Byrne immediately shut up. It seemed that the first step to start the trial was to keep quiet.
It's what is called "tranquility".
Chris nodded slightly, then bit his finger and wrote a sentence on his white palm.
"Let's wait. Let them wait with us until the next fog appears."
Waiting?
Byrne sighed. Even though he didn't like waiting, they had already been trapped for a few years, so it didn't matter how long they had to wait.
So they found Zain, March and others, and Chris made a gesture of silence again, and then showed the sentence he had just written.
"Chris, what do you mean?"
Zain was stunned for a while, and then Aldridge also made a silent gesture, indicating that he should stop talking.
So he nodded slightly and said no more.
March and Aldridge also remained silent. They were silent for a long time, more than ten hours, and then they couldn't hold it in any longer. Everyone looked at Chris, and he said it again, asking them to wait until the fog appeared.
Several people's faces changed. That might take several months!
