Mysterious: The Innate Sacred Body of Destiny

Chapter 94 Lorne: Could it all be the work of the Goddess of the Night?

"By the way, is your arrangement alright?" Lorne glanced at Danitz, who was still fixing his appearance.

Due to unforeseen circumstances and new injuries, Danitz abandoned his initial plan to row out to sea in a small boat and instead decided to take a passenger ship directly to Damir Port to contact the Golden Dream from there.

Therefore, Lorne had to swallow his pride and ask Roy King to help him buy two tickets, which wasted a lot of time.

Danitz stopped what he was doing and spoke:

"This is the best solution at the moment. After careful consideration, the risk of us going to find the Golden Dream by ourselves in a small boat is too great."

Upon hearing this, Lorne nodded slightly.

Danitz's words made sense. He knew nothing about the sea environment and was not a good swimmer, while the experienced Danitz was injured. It was indeed risky for the two of them to go to sea alone.

However, having to return the way he came after only a short time in Bayam was somewhat upsetting for him.

"Sigh! Speaking of which... your outfit is a bit... hard to comment on." Lorne looked at Danitz, who had already put on a simple disguise, and hesitated to speak.

"Well…"

Seemingly realizing that his disguise wasn't very good, Danitz was a little embarrassed, but still stubbornly retorted:

"There's no time for a more elaborate disguise."

"We've already wasted a whole day."

"What if we get ambushed?" Lorne asked again.

"We left very suddenly, and we didn't even buy the tickets ourselves."

"That bastard 'Steel' couldn't possibly have monitored the entire port."

Seeing that Lorne still seemed somewhat skeptical, Danitz's anger flared up:

"As long as your luck isn't extremely bad, there shouldn't be any problems."

luck……

At this point, he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Lorne suspiciously:

"I feel like I've been having a lot of bad luck ever since I met you."

...? !

The two exchanged a glance, and Lorne shrugged helplessly.

"That's your own problem, okay? How can you blame me for something like bad luck?"

Although he said that, Lorne had to admit that Danitz had indeed had a lot of bad luck these past two days. Lorne, who had always considered himself unlucky since his transmigration, felt this deeply.

Aside from the danger, the psychological trauma is at least comparable to his past experiences.

However, Lorne did not think it was his fault. Danitz was, after all, a pirate. Even if he hadn't committed many evil deeds, he certainly had a lot of blood on his hands.

Maybe it's karma coming on them!

……

In the afternoon, the two went to the port with trepidation.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The two boarded the passenger ship without encountering any danger, and everything was calm.

On the deck, Lorne leaned against the railing, gazing at the view of the sea.

"No one is following us, we are safe now." Danitz walked over, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"Hmm..." Lorne didn't say much. His spiritual intuition didn't react much either. He had even done a divination when he boarded the ship, and the result showed that everything was normal.

He didn't continue arguing with Danitz, but simply gazed calmly at the sea. The sea breeze brushed against his cheeks, bringing him a long-lost sense of comfort.

"It will be dark soon."

Since arriving at sea, he has felt somewhat uneasy every night, especially under the moonlight. He wasn't sure if it was just a psychological reaction, since the Crimson Moon was indeed a bit eerie for someone accustomed to the bright moon.

As the sky gradually turned dusky, Lorne asked, almost as if possessed, "Which god's domain does the moon belong to?"

"The moon..." Danitz was somewhat puzzled by the question. "You're supposed to be a Loen, right? How come you don't even know this?"

"Uh..." Lorne chuckled awkwardly, offering no further explanation.

"Haven't the night and the red moon always been symbols of the goddess of the night?" Danitz said.

"The goddess of the night..." Lorne murmured to himself.

He searched his mind for relevant information. Although the original owner was a believer of the God of Steam and Machinery, thanks to the strong religious atmosphere of this world, he also had some understanding of other righteous gods.

However, because he was a time traveler, his thoughts didn't quite catch up for a moment.

"If I remember correctly, Her name is... Goddess of the Night, more sublime than the stars, more eternal than eternity, Crimson Lord, Mother of Secrets, Queen of Calamity and Fear, Lord of Sleep and Silence."

Wait! This honorific name... Lorne suddenly thought of something, and a chill ran through his heart.

The inexplicable gaze, the unease under the crimson moonlight, and even the misfortunes suffered since crossing over to the present day.

There are also all sorts of disasters.

Everything I have suffered so far seems to be aptly described in the name of the goddess of the night.

The time-travel guide says the authorities are the enemies of time travelers...

Could it be... that all of this is the work of the Goddess of Night...?

This... is just wishful thinking. Besides, if a god really wanted to deal with me, he could just send a team of extraordinary beings to kill me. There would be no need to go through so much trouble.

"What's wrong with you?" Danitz noticed that his expression was off.

"No, it's nothing." Lorne waved his hand, trying to calm himself down.

Perhaps the sudden surge of thoughts was too terrifying, so he started thinking about other things in an attempt to distract himself.

He began to comment on the names of the various gods.

……

The name "God of War" is too common and outdated.

The eternal sun... Although Lorne wasn't sure if the sun had any special mystical significance in this world, in his mind, the sun should just be a star.

To directly refer to oneself as the sun carries a hint of presumption.

If it were called the Sun God, it would probably be much better.

When talking about the ocean, the first thing that comes to mind should be the Lord of Storms. The Lord of Storms has a rather nice-sounding name.

But in the original owner's memory, the followers of the Lord of Storms were basically synonymous with rudeness... even though the royal family also worshipped the Lord of Storms.

The Earth Mother Goddess is alright; she's the goddess of wisdom and knowledge, after all...

Just as Lorne was disrespectfully ranting about the various gods in his mind, Danitz seemed to remember something and added:

"Speaking of the moon..."

"I've heard that some cultists seem to worship an evil god called the Primal Moon."

"The Primal Moon..." Lorne silently memorized the word.

Taken alone, this word is quite ordinary and doesn't have any negative connotations.

"Why must He be an evil god?"

Upon hearing this, Danitz paused for a moment, then asked Lorne, "Aren't all gods other than righteous gods evil gods?"

"That's true." Lorne nodded slightly. "So, does that mean the primitive beliefs of the colonies also belong to evil gods?"

"Pretty much, but in most cases the true gods prefer to call them false gods."

"But those indigenous beliefs don't really make much of a splash in the field of mysticism."

False god? That doesn't sound as prestigious as an evil god!

From this perspective, there are also differences in faith... Lorne smiled helplessly, not intending to comment further on matters of faith.

However, he also thought of something.

Time travel is something that only gods can probably do, but if the righteous gods are unfriendly, you might really need the help of some "evil god" to go back.
