Chapter 68 The Perspective of the Dead
Chapter 68 The Perspective of the Dead
Otto was not unfamiliar with such a scene.
Clearly, his consciousness had returned to the thick fog of his dream.
Otto slowly opened his eyes and saw the raven that had attacked him before.
After Tessa's explanation, Otto understood that the raven before him was likely a manifestation of the soul of a priest from the past.
As a divine messenger, it is responsible for conveying the will of the Goddess of Light.
But isn't the goddess of light looking at him a little too often?
Just as Otto was wondering what was going on, he saw the raven swooping down on him again.
This time, however, the other party did not attack Otto; instead, it stood on his head and used its wings to cover the boy's eyes.
At that very moment, Otto seemed to see something.
His vision gradually cleared, but it was no longer under his control!
He saw that the scenery before him was incredibly chaotic and turbulent.
Upon seeing this, Otto immediately understood.
The raven probably saw things from someone else's perspective!
"Felicity can actually do this?!"
Otto was somewhat surprised; the goddess's authority was indeed wondrous.
But on second thought, it's not too hard to understand.
After all, the blessing that the goddess bestowed upon Otto was the Eye of Light, so it seems quite reasonable for him to possess authority related to the eyes.
Just as Otto was speculating about the scope of the goddess's authority, the raven's perspective had already changed once again.
The original owner of the scene appeared to have been attacked, suddenly falling to the ground and lying in a pool of blood.
At the last moment, the other party saw the attacker.
It was a person wearing a hood and a mask.
At that very moment, the eagle discovered some clues.
[The eagle noted that when the hooded man extended his hand, a few tattoo marks were visible on his arm!]
Clearly, this is what Raven wanted Otto to see.
The raven retracted its wings, took flight, and hovered high above Otto's head, bringing him a divine oracle.
"Believers who accept the fire."
Find the lost soul.
Punish the blasphemous madmen.
The light will illuminate your path!
The raven's proclamation echoed in Otto's ears like an ancient bell.
At that moment, Otto left his dream.
When he opened his eyes, the warm morning light was already shining into the room.
Seeing this, Otto simply breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and opened the window.
Looking at the busy figures outside the window, Otto jokingly asked about the goddess's request.
"Looks like it's time to pay the price. I just hope the goddess will tip me after this is over."
Thanks to Micah's reminder, Otto already knew that divine gifts always come at a price.
After all, he has already absorbed the fire seed, so it's time for him to start working.
"The original owner of that perspective was probably the priest of the Light who was attacked."
How did the goddess get the other person's perspective before they died?
Otto was curious about this, which was understandable, since Tessa had once said that the priest who was attacked had even had his soul stolen.
Fortunately, after analysis, the Magical Ape seemed to have glimpsed a clue.
[The Magical Ape speculates that this memory is likely related to the Soul Lamp provided by the Lantern Order.]
The Magical Ape believed that once the owner marked by the Soul Lamp was killed, the Soul Lamp would likely bring back some information about the person before their death.
In the eyes of the Magical Ape, the Soul Lamp is not only a tool to convey the safety of its master, but may also have some kind of sensory ability.
This speculation makes a reasonable explanation for everything that happened in the dream.
The Magical Ape stated that, through its collaboration with the eagle, it has restored the original appearance of the tattoo.
With the prompt from the Magical Ape, the image of a tattoo appeared in Otto's mind.
This is a strange tattoo that looks like a mountain that has been split apart.
Otto didn't quite understand the meaning of the tattoo yet, but he made a note of it for the time being.
But at that moment, the Moonlit Hound reminded Otto to be careful.
[The Moonlit Spirit Dog stated that since the other party dared to assassinate the priest, they must have received blessings from other deities to avoid being watched by the Goddess of Light.]
After consuming more bloodline marks, the black sheep speculated that carrying the mark of Grak might attract the attention of this primal god, and even provide some form of cover.
Otto wasn't too surprised by this.
Come to think of it, how easy is it to kill a priest who has been blessed by the gods?
Clearly, the person wearing a hood and a mask is probably a follower of the savage god Grak.
Otto felt that he had finally gathered some intelligence.
He immediately found some parchment in the room and drew the tattoo.
After confirming that the tattoo was exactly the same as the one in his memory, he immediately went out of the house and found Lillian and Javier.
"I've found some clues that might be related to the gang that attacked the priest."
As Otto spoke, he handed the tattoos to the two of them.
Otto only said that this was a detail he had just remembered.
After all, the Goddess of Light only provided some clues; the process of completing the Magic Ape's puzzle couldn't be mentioned to anyone else.
Fortunately, Lillian and Javier didn't ask any further questions, and simply left the house with the parchment.
As for Otto, he went into the warehouse to prepare to change into his Moon Silver Carved Armor.
"One day, I'll save up enough money to buy you!"
Otto was quite satisfied with the armor.
Although he can only rent from Micah for ten copper Thorns a day now, Otto thinks that since he is now debt-free, he can always save some money!
Otto put on his armor while pondering his future money-saving plan.
Before long, they left the warehouse.
At this moment, Tessa had already donned her heavy armor and was standing at the door waiting for Otto.
As for Goren, he was sleeping on the sofa and didn't need to move at all.
Upon seeing that Otto was ready, Goren immediately got up from the sofa, put on a dark coat, and told the two to get ready to leave.
As a martial artist, Goren's fists are his weapons; he doesn't need to wear anything.
However, this situation was special, so Goren still brought out his trump card: a pair of fingerless fists.
Goren, while putting on his fingerless fist, gave the two simple instructions.
"We said we were going hunting, but actually we were trying to avoid the eyes and ears of potential attackers in the camp; there were too many people here."
Once we enter the forest, and there are fewer people around, our ability to sense sight will be enhanced, so we'll have to be extra vigilant then.
Goren patted the two men on the shoulder, reassuring them.
Even if there is any real trouble, the three of them are enough to handle it.
As the interim captain, Goren has made ample preparations.
"Alright, let's go!"
Let's go and make a killing!
