I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means
Chapter 937 - 566 Jue Still Remembers Me!

Dawn was approaching, but the Gur Festival that was supposed to be held today would not come.

It can now be confirmed that the Gur Festival is the biggest secret of this illusion, and also the key to this secret realm.

Lis and Taya are able to break free from the influence of the illusion, not having their memories altered.

Without the illusion's influence, staying in this small town should pose no further danger for Lis and Taya, but it seems meaningless.

If they cannot break the infinite loop of seven days, and the eighth day's Gur Festival cannot arrive, Lis will ultimately be unable to learn the town's greatest secret.

The completion requirement for the specific area task [Ihelos' Determination] is to fulfill Ihelos' request.

It's unknown what exactly this Legendary Mage wants to achieve to have established such an extensive illusion.

What is his regret?

Because he witnessed the loss of his lover, did he want to use undead magic to resurrect everyone and live with Jue forever?

Lis thinks this is the most likely scenario; otherwise, Jue would not be so special in this illusion.

But if that's the case, why hasn't Kazeri Iheles appeared?

If he wants to live together with Jue, shouldn't he be by her side, always accompanying her?

However, from Jue and Old Milo, they heard that Kazeri Iheles had left town with a caravan to travel and train.

This is somewhat unusual.

Even if Ihelos had not yet become a Legend at that time, and was indeed not in the town, as the one controlling this illusion, it would be easy for him to change this.

Simply altering the memories of the township residents would suffice.

But Ihelos did not do this.

Why is that?

Could it be that he didn't want to appear in front of Taya?

Thinking of this, Lis shook his head.

These are ultimately just speculations. Without witnessing the Gur Festival and seeing Ihelos, the truth remains shrouded in mystery.

Thinking of this, Lis embraced Taya and lay back on the bed to continue their prior rest.

In the next seven days, Lis needs to find a breakthrough to the seven-day cycle; otherwise, after the seven days pass, it will be a new cycle all over again.

If he cannot break it, Lis will be facing an endless repetition of seven days, without end.

Let's see if within these seven days, another breakthrough can be found…..

...

The next morning, at the Golden Coconut Inn,

Lis, with Taya, descended the loft and arrived at the tavern below.

Old Milo was, as usual, at the bar. Seeing Lis come down, he greeted:

"Good morning, Mr. Lis, how did you sleep last night?"

"Not bad."

"Please bring me two breakfasts."

Lis nodded, accompanying Taya to a seat by the bar.

He specifically came down with Taya today to have breakfast, intending to gather more information.

"No problem."

After directing the servant to bring out the Golden Coconut Inn's specialty breakfast, Old Milo sat beside Lis and said with a smile:

"Mr. Lis, I heard yesterday that you plan to settle down in Ihelos and open a small shop?"

"That's right."

Lis nodded slightly, yet resolved within his heart.

The role of a traveling merchant intending to settle down in Ihelos with his wife Taya is a memory altered by the illusion, which suggests that such memory changes are synchronized among all town residents.

This means that the altered memory of Lis also exists in the memories of other undead residents.

This is probably why an outsider, after having their memory altered, can smoothly integrate into the Ihelos secret realm and become part of it.

It's just unknown whether those outsiders with altered memories will disappear after their lifespan ends, or if they'll become one of the undead residents.

"Do you need me to make some recommendations?"

Old Milo chuckled, his implication clear.

"Of course, my wife and I are visiting Ihelos for the first time and are not familiar with many places, so we would need the innkeeper to introduce us more."

Lis nodded, cooperating as he spoke.

"I plan to take a look around Ihelos first to see what kind of shop would be suitable to open, then trouble Old Milo later."

"As for the fees, they can be discussed."

"No need, no need."

Old Milo waved his hand, unaffectedly saying:

"I've lived in this little town all my life, I know it inside out."

"Recently, fewer and fewer people are willing to settle in this small town, so your plan to settle here with your wife is a good thing. This small help I can certainly provide."

"Besides, there are more and more vacant shops in Ihelos. If you fancy my shop, it would indeed be a big help to me."

"Alright."

Lis nodded, taking a slice of white bread and slowly spreading jam over it.

The initially soft bread, after slight toasting, had a slightly crispy texture and exuded a rich wheat aroma.

"Today, I plan to visit the plantation outside town, so I won't have Taya go with me."

"Old Milo, can you have Jue accompany Taya around town today?"

"Of course, I'll compensate her for it."

"No problem."

Old Milo readily agreed, for him, it seemed like a trivial matter.

It was an opportunity for Jue to take Taya to his own shop, and if Taya found it suitable, she might directly settle it.
