Tribulation of Mysteries

The Month of Green Banyan, 3rd day.

No matter how much Lady Sonia protested, Colin's wedding still went on as scheduled.

Theodore seemed to be preparing this as a celebration for unifying the Greenery Forest, so it was very grand. Anyone with a bit of status in the Green Forest came to Sotos Castle.

The huge castle was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and many cooks were busy in the kitchen, serving all sorts of wonderful delicacies.

Roast chicken, roast lamb chops, steak, roast suckling pig, vegetable salad, raisin pudding, cheese, honey wine …

All sorts of delicacies filled the long table, and the hall was filled with laughter.

However, the main venue of the wedding wasn't here.

According to the customs of the Greenery Forest people, the wedding had to be carried out under a banyan tree to establish sacred bonds.

The most famous banyan tree in Sotos Castle was the 'Divine Tree' behind Sotos Castle.

"Today, I am honoured to have all of you here to witness the wedding of my son, Colin Sotos, and Sylvie Davis!"

Theodore wore a priest's robe, and his expression was solemn.

Aaron glanced at the bride and found that Sylvie didn't resist. He immediately understood that this woman had probably accepted her fate.

After all, what else could she do?

Moreover, although the direct line of the Davis family had died, there were still collateral branches. She had to consider them.

Lady Sonia and Sean were also present, but they had polite smiles on their faces. Outsiders could see that it was fake.

The expressions of the vassals below were even more different.

The original knights of Sotos Castle were naturally jubilant and proud. As for the new ones of Davis Castle, their expressions were even more complicated. It was worth pondering over.

"Eh?"

Aaron swept his gaze and saw a stranger.

It was a strange noble. He wore a silky robe that was as smooth as milk, and his hair was neatly combed. There was a trace of arrogance in his eyes, as if he was a city dweller that had come to the countryside. He sized up the nobles of the Green Forest.

"Who is this person?"

His heart skipped a beat as he pulled Knight Turner aside and asked softly.

"The envoy of the Kingdom of Kagash, the king's jester, Phillly Geto. He brought the king's conferment, and it seems like he wants to confer the title of count to Sir Lord …"

It could be seen that Turner was very disdainful of this.

After all, the conflict between the Kingdom of Kagash and the Green Forest had existed since ancient times.

A long time ago, those forest barbarians who couldn't survive would often head south to plunder the lords of the warm southern lands, forming a deep 'friendship' between them!

It wasn't until the establishment of the Kagash Kingdom that the situation eased. After all, the Green Forest people weren't fools.

It was easy to snatch the softies from the south, but it was not easy to deal with them when they worked together.

Later on, the kingdom was unable to take over the Green Forest, and could only give titles to the experts of the Green Forest. It was considered that the Green Forest was nominally under the rule of the kingdom.

"Isn't this just opening up a new territory?"

Aaron also thought about how his and the Davis family's titles had come about. It seemed like they had been conferred the title of baron by the king.

However, this was of no use. Neither side took it seriously.

Now that the Green Forest was unified, the King was probably provoked, and it was natural for him to take action.

This conferment was probably a form of goodwill?

"Actually, other than the name, it's useless. Even if he's called a baron, Sotos is still the ruler of the Green Forest!"

After understanding this point, Aaron couldn't be bothered with the messenger and put his thoughts back on the sumptuous banquet.

Instead of thinking about this, it was better to think about how to eat well at night.

… …

At night.

The castle was still bustling with noise.

Aaron had no interest in the bridal chamber. He returned to his room, sent Tia away, and lay on his bed.

....

In the Dreamworld.

It was still daytime, and the scarlet sun hung high in the sky.

"Come on, I hope I can see land!"

Since the end of the war, Aaron had immediately used the mysterious energy he produced every day to explore.

Now, he had to move in a certain direction every time he entered the dream, hoping to see land.

"Today is another boring day of traveling."

After confirming his direction, Aaron continued on his way.

After some time, his [Danger Perception] was suddenly triggered, and his consciousness was as sharp as a needle.

"The sun!"

Aaron suddenly looked up and saw the scarlet sun that had been contaminated by him.

At this moment, this scarlet sun was emitting terrifying light and heat, and the scarlet on it became even more intense, even turning black!

Black spots appeared on the sun one after another, like sunspots, but also like solidified blood clots!

The entire world seemed to have quieted down. At this moment, even the craziest creatures stopped hunting and looked up at the changes in the sun!

Aaron's eyes were about to burst into tears. At this moment, he saw the black spots condense and 'detach' from the scarlet sun.

The black spots that separated from the sun condense into a smaller black sun, hanging next to the scarlet sun.

His consciousness felt like it had been pricked by a needle, and a vague voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

It sounded like thousands of people were shouting, and also like an inexplicable thing was whispering and muttering …

These ravings seemed to contain some information, but also a strong element of madness!

The inexplicable information appeared in a strange supernatural language, and even an illiterate person could understand the meaning.

Aaron felt a special characteristic in his heart being triggered, and he immediately understood. Looking at the two suns, one red and one black, he couldn't help but sigh. "The sun … has gone crazy!"

He already had some guesses about what was happening.

The original sun had no consciousness.

His modification had actually made the sun have consciousness.

Although it was a crazy and chaotic consciousness, it was still consciousness!

For a stone, having feelings was progress. Even if it was crazy feelings, it was a crucial step to become a living creature!

"And that black sun, just looking at it made me feel depravity, corruption, and darkness … Is the crazy manifestation of the scarlet sun, the incarnation of personality?"

Aaron couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "What … have I created?"

The scarlet sun from before was equivalent to the source of madness and pollution in this world!

At this moment, a terrifying thing was born from that source!

He didn't doubt that the energy of that black sun could easily annihilate all the creatures in this red sea!

It could be said that even the largest and most bizarre sea monster he had seen before was like an ant in front of it!
