Chapter 264 - Chapter 264: Chapter 254 Tranquility Songster, Lord of White Bones (2/2)

The one thing the Fischer family could confirm was that the great Lord of the Lost was the most powerful deity, and all other gods besides Him were nothing but false gods!

Byrne muttered to himself:

“The Words of Tranquility Order is a congregation that venerates songsters and spans various worlds. They worship death and silence, seeking ‘peace of mind’ as their ultimate pursuit.”

“Peace of mind…”

He paused, feeling very strange, and continued disjointedly:

“They desire a peaceful death, which is odd, isn’t it? It’s strange that there are people who consider ‘death’ the ultimate goal in life.”

After a long contemplation, Chris calmly said, “It’s not necessarily that strange.”

Byrne was taken aback, perhaps only someone like Chris could understand.

After all, he was one who walked the Path of Tranquility.

Byrne flipped through the book in his hands, continuing:

“This page records something about bones. Around three thousand years ago on the Ouden Continent, a Heavenly Enlightenment powerful expert known as the ‘Lord of White Bones’ was the founder of the Words of Tranquility Order in this Claud World.”

“He would turn the bones of friends and foes alike into objects as exquisite as white jade, imbued with strange magic power.”

“It is said that since the foundation of the Words of Tranquility, the Lord of White Bones never uttered a single word.”

“He wielded terrifying power, once attempted to Summon the Songster through a sacrifice, completely destroying an entire kingdom, murdering millions. In the end, he died at the hands of the former Lord of Salvation, failing to complete the final ritual.”

“…”

Byrne continued to sift through the records about the Lord of White Bones, hoping to find something related to White Bones Canyon, but he found no relevant clues.

Eventually, he found a few sentences that might be useful, concerning something called the ‘Path of the Dead’.”

This was a special trial conceived by the Lord of White Bones, and only those who had undergone this trial were eligible to become Priests of Words of Tranquility.

However, because the mortality rate of this trial was too high, after a thousand years, the ‘Path of the Dead’ was ultimately abandoned by successive Words of Tranquility.

Byrne pondered for a while, a hint of excitement in his analysis: “This valley we are in might just be a so-called trial ground!”

“We just haven’t really started the trial, so we keep circling here with no way out.”

“If we can initiate the trial, complete it, we will have a chance to leave this valley!”

Then came the problem.

Byrne was eager to know how to truly initiate the ‘Path of the Dead’ trial of the Words of Tranquility, but this book just happened to not contain a complete record of that part, only a few disconnected strange terms.

“Tranquility,” “white bones,” “fog,” “walls.”

Damn it!

Why wasn’t the most critical content recorded in full?

He took a deep breath, starting to contemplate how to truly initiate the trial.

As Byrne thought, he also wondered how he could communicate the matter to Aldrich and the others. How exactly could he explain so that those people wouldn’t suspect that he and Chris had just left the valley.

Chris, with folded arms, thought for a moment, then nodded lightly.

Byrne froze, seeing the confidence in Chris’s eyes as if he already knew how to formally start the trial.

“What should we do?”

Chris extended a finger and made a “shush” gesture.

Byrne immediately fell silent, realizing that the first step to starting the trial was to remain quiet.

That would be ‘Tranquility,’ of course.

Chris nodded gently, then bit his finger and wrote a sentence on his pale palm.

“Wait, let them join us in waiting for the fog to appear next time.”

Wait?

Byrne sighed; although he disliked waiting, they had been trapped for years, so waiting some more hardly mattered.

So they found Zayne and Marzo, and Chris made the silence gesture again, then showed them the sentence he had just written.

“Chris, what do you mean by this?”

Zayne was stunned for a while, then Aldrich also made a silencing gesture, signaling not to talk anymore.

So he nodded lightly, holding his peace.

Marzo and Aldrich also kept silent. They remained quiet for many hours, almost half a day, and then it became difficult to keep up. Everyone looked towards Chris, who reiterated the sentence, asking them to wait until the fog appeared.

Everyone’s expressions changed; that might mean waiting for months!
