Chapter 753: Bliss
Mr. Wus recognized the other person at a glance, and lowered his body to take a defensive and challenging posture.
The newly emerged guy looked down at the cat on the ground, "Long time no see! My dear friend. How long has it been since then, five hundred years? Or thousands of years?"
"But time has no meaning to us. Just like you are now in this weak body, but I still recognized you at first sight. What, are you tired of fighting and have chosen mouse hunting as your new hobby?"
Su understood, "This is the target we are going to attack this time, right? He has a mean mouth."
Paimon called out in support, "You are the mouse that Mr. Wuss is going to catch!"
"I am Boethius of Lemuria, the chief tuner of Phobos." At this point, the arrogance of the man in the stone mask was fully revealed.
"I have no interest in knowing the barbarians' names, so forget about introducing yourselves."
Boethius glanced at the group of travelers and said condescendingly as if to reward them: "When you take off your despicable bodies and your souls accept the guidance of Phobos and become one of us, I will grant you an eternal and immortal hard body so that you will never suffer the pain of the world again. Hum... If you have any words of gratitude, you might as well say it now."
"This guy deserves a beating from his expression to his entire body," Su pointed his golden crossbow at Boethius, "I am kind-hearted and decided to satisfy him!"
Sora reacted quickly and pressed down on the girl's wrist, "He has a hostage." The souls of the residents of Petricho should be in his hands.
Not only does Boethius have hostages, he is also currently in a phantom state that makes him immune to trauma.
He opened his hands fearlessly and announced: "The existence of Fontaine is a mistake, and we will correct this mistake. When the sea swallows Fontaine, Lemuria will once again stand on the sea level, and its light will shine on the earth!"
Boethius looked at the cat on the ground and said, "Cassiodoro, I will wait for your return in the royal city of Lemuria, in the golden palace, where the Supreme played music."
Boethius disappeared, and the traveler team had a lot of questions.
Paimon looked at Mr. Wuss, "Um... it seems like you, Mr. Wuss, are very familiar with that weirdo?"
Su was much more straightforward, "He's obviously an old acquaintance. It's probably some old drama of best friends turning into enemies."
Sora wanted to confirm Mr. Wus's position, "Are you Ulan Yidai of Ullanopolis or Cassiodorus of Lemuria?"
The cat sighed, "I am everything. I am also your new friend Mr. Woos. I will tell you everything I know if you are willing to help me."
Mr. Wuss told his story.
He was originally from a small tribe in the northern part of Fontaine. After his hometown was conquered by the Lemurian cavalry, he surrendered to this unstoppable and powerful country as a slave. Because of his talent, he was selected to study in Capitoline, the highest city of the Golden Empire.
Similar birth backgrounds and talents made Boethius and Cassiodore become friends. After completing rigorous courses and trials, they were promoted by Supreme Remus to become two of the four great tuners of Lemuria.
Mr. Wuss: "Later I discovered that Boethius was full of enthusiasm for his conquest of Lemuria. Even Euenia, the most orthodox Lemurian from the Golden Palace, was full of pity for Fusui, but Boethius was obsessed with using cruelty and blood to "grant the glory of evolution to the barbarians."
Originally, he and Euennia had formulated a more moderate plan to pacify the tribes, and even Aurelius' attitude had softened somewhat, but Boethius showed terrifying determination and cruelty, and they eventually broke up.
Sora understood, and concluded, "Converts are fanatical."
People who join a group, belief or ideology often show stronger loyalty, enthusiasm and even extreme behavior than original members.
Boethius completely identified with and surrendered to Lemuria, using a more radical and fanatical attitude and extreme behavior to prove his loyalty, in order to make up for his former identity as an "outsider with opposing positions", even though no one criticized him for this.
Su commented: "They invade other people's homes with all the talk of justice, and condescendingly bestow upon others things they do not want. This is insane."
Mr. Wus sighed, "Lemuria, the civilization and glory, has taken the wrong path. I...we have tried to reverse it, but unfortunately we failed."
Sora raised his doubts, "Lemurians, are they stone sculptures?"
Su and Paimon also discovered that the new guy was actually a moving statue.
Paimon: "What on earth is he? A statue monster, or a ghost possessing a statue?"
Mr. Wuss replied: "The Lemurians are not ordinary humans, but a new race whose bodies are made of stone and whose blood is made of spiritual dew."
Su: "Speaking of which, these stone sculptures all look basically the same. The special one is the guy who deserves a beating just now."
Paimon: "Yeah, yeah, if all the Lemurians wear the same clothes and don't talk, how can we tell who is who?"
Mr. Wuss: "More important than the body is the will and the soul. We can tell who is who by the rhythm of the soul."
"Of course, there are quite a few Lemurians who think that this matter is not important. Everything has a price. As a higher-level life form, one should abandon narrow personal concepts and concentrate on being part of the overall consciousness of the Great Music Phobos. For example, Boethius."
Kong was very alert and recalled a case of Xumi. "One of the overall consciousness collections... cluster consciousness? What exactly is the Great Music Phobos?"
Mr. Wus replied: "The Supreme Being weaves the memory and personality of people into a melody in the form of musical notes. He has integrated the melodies of all people into the most magnificent movement. This great movement will bring bliss to everyone. Its name is Phobos."
"Mastering the Great Music is equivalent to mastering destiny. This is the secret passed down to the Supreme by the great prophet, Golden Bee Sibyl, who survived the last reincarnation."
Traveler Team: …………
Paimon: "What should I do? The more I listen, the more I feel that this grand movement and Phobos are full of problems."
Sora held his forehead with his hand. It wasn't just the music that had problems. Both Remus and the Lemuria he created had problems.
Su: "And that so-called prophet Golden Bee, sounds like the mastermind behind the fraud."
Mr. Wuss rarely expressed his opposition, saying that the Golden Bee Prophet Sibyl was philanthropic and selfless, and that Supreme Remus had good intentions.
Mr. Wus was very sad. "What the Supreme wanted to create was a golden ideal world without prejudice and barriers, full of freedom and justice. According to the Supreme's plan, the Grand Symphony should have woven the melody of supreme goodness for everyone, but I don't know what went wrong..."
Traveler Squad: The collective consciousness has gone astray.
