Lord of Mysteries: The Color of the Stars

Julian stared intently, and it was still a huge undead creature, its body rotting and translucent, but it looked very different from the lizard and the oil lamp monster from before.

But from its head, which resembled both a pig and an elephant, Julian could tell that it seemed to be a tapir-like creature.

This is already the fourth undead creature that Mr. Azik has summoned today. It has to be said that the extent of this "Death Archon's" methods related to the underworld far exceeds Julian's imagination.

The tapir exhaled a long breath of yellow, foul-smelling gas, and then began frantically inhaling the misty air in front of it with its long nose.

This even affected the air where Julian was standing; the immense negative pressure nearly made him lose his footing.

Fortunately, the skeletal lizard appeared in time and wrapped its tail around him, preventing Julian from being sucked away by the tapir.

As the undead tapir absorbed the mist, the once boundless and incredibly thick fog finally began to dissipate and fade.

Even so, the fog has not completely dissipated, as if something deep within is constantly creating new fog.

Fortunately, this was enough for Julian and Mr. Azik to get a general idea of ​​their surroundings.

They quickly scanned the murals around them, but found that the murals behind the mist were incomplete, and some seemed to have been severely corroded.

Fortunately, Julian was still able to make out that these murals were related to the "Battle of the Four Emperors," but the parts related to the "Pale Disaster" were not present here.

In the end, the mural turned completely black.

Not only was the surface of the wall completely covered with black paint, but there also seemed to be some kind of conceptual darkness lurking on it.

Even Julian, who possessed the extraordinary vision of a "Four-Colored Awakener," could not discern a single color within that blackness.

Mr. Azik quickly memorized these images, and before the fog could gather again, he led Julian into it.

However, after taking only two steps, Julian noticed something amiss.

He saw a figure appear in the mist on his left and right sides respectively.

Although the figure on the left was very blurry, Julian was still able to identify the person.

This is him before he traveled through time!

However, the figure collapsed the moment it appeared, as if the basic conditions for its formation were not met.

The figure on the right became increasingly clear.

As it rapidly approached him, Julian's pupils constricted instantly.

That was Julian himself, only with some differences.

This guy was wearing the scholar's robes of the Church of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom," his hair was disheveled, his face was pale, and his eyes were empty.

He reached out his hand to Julian, his lips slightly parted, as if he were saying something silently.

Julian learned lip reading when he was still a "Knowledge Keeper," but due to the release of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Knowledge Keeper," he temporarily forgot this knowledge and stored it in the "Legacy of the Scholar."

So, in theory, Julian, who is not using the "scholar's legacy" to aid his understanding, should not be able to understand these lip movements at all, but in fact, he can.

The "Julian Albrecht" shrouded in mist is referring to:

"You killed me."

"You and that evil thing killed me."

"You are destined to be cursed."

"Is this Julian before I traveled through time? Is this a historical mystery?"

Julian immediately realized that this fog was no ordinary fog, but a historical fog.

For some unknown reason, this historical fog seems to be able to automatically capture the historical identity of those who enter and present it.

It seems that this is why Julian regained some of his former "Knowledge Keeper" abilities, and was able to read lips.

"I killed your grandpa."

Julian was furious upon hearing this.

At this point, he didn't care about manners anymore and directly mouthed back:

"It was clearly you, you idiot, who was bored and did those dangerous ritual magics, which summoned the 'Starry Night' and caused your own sudden death. Now you dare to blame it on your father?"

"If it weren't for you, you idiot, I wouldn't be here. Not only do I have to worry about my safety all day, but I also have to deal with this buzzing thing that's driving me crazy!!!"

"Starry Night" seemed somewhat displeased upon hearing these words, and it began to buzz again, which only made Julian even more irritable.

"Still buzzing around here, I'm talking to you, aren't you going to back down?"

As he spoke, Julian raised his hand and sprinkled a mixture of powder made from some kind of tree and the previous silver-gray powder, then uttered a difficult Hermesian word.

The figure of Julian Albrecht, shrouded in historical mystery, was suddenly engulfed in a series of lightning bolts mixed with blinding light. The two forces amplified each other, instantly reducing him to ashes!

With the help of the temporarily recovered power of the "Guardian", Julian quickly combined the "Wizard's" "Lightning" spell with his own self-created "Flash" spell and used it with a special triggering spell!

However, as this historical projection was destroyed, another historical projection emerged from the depths of the mist.

That was him during his college years, high school years, and childhood in Azshara!

In addition, there was even a baby crawling on the ground, slowly approaching Julian.

These Julians spoke at the same time, but this time they were not speaking silently; they were making tangible noises.

"You killed us."

"You and that evil thing killed us."

"You are destined to be cursed."

"Damn it, is this never going to end?"

Julian was preparing to use magic again to erase these historical projections when he suddenly realized a crucial problem.

"Where is Mr. Azik?"

Julian quickly turned his head to look at Mr. Azik behind him.

At this moment, Mr. Azik stood there, staring at a figure that was gradually approaching from the depths of the mist.

Julian quickly got a clear look at the other person's appearance.

The man's height and appearance were almost identical to Mr. Azik's, except for his appearance and temperament, which were completely different.

The "Mr. Azik" who emerged from the mists of history had an indifferent gaze, wore a deep black robe embroidered with gold thread, and a bird-shaped crown made of gold, as if looking down on all living beings.

"This is... Mr. Azik before his amnesia, the 'Death Consul' of the Byron Empire?"

Julian immediately realized something was wrong, but before he could warn Mr. Azik, something even stranger happened.

From behind the "Death Archon" who wore a deep black robe and a crown made of gold, a new figure gradually emerged.

He was a middle-aged or elderly man dressed in a dark black robe, whose facial features resembled those of someone from the southern continent.

Although the man's image was very blurry, the air around him turned pale the moment he appeared.

That paleness was absolute; it seemed that all colors would fade and wither before it.

"Buzzing..."

At this moment, "Starry Night" also let out a terrified wail that Julian had never heard before.

Before Julian could react, the paleness rapidly expanded, enveloping him and Mr. Azik almost instantly!
