Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1719: The Hunt for the Shadow (15)
Chapter 1719 Hunting for the Shadow Fifteen
What is that? Looking at the wonderful warm white light in the distant sky, Mutter couldn't help asking curiously.
That? That is the tower of the guardian of the cat. Albert replied that being able to see the light of the Guardian Tower from here means that we are not far from Niao Sen Stone.
Tower of the Guardians?
Well, you know, Tiger explained further: The cat people are not a big clan, at most they can only be regarded as a minority among the orcs. The cats themselves are not very good at fighting, and if they don't rely on something, it is generally difficult for them to survive in the harsh environment of the Dawning region. If in other places, the cat people and the tiger people or the leopard people can be attached, but the Meowmyerson Stone is the hometown of the cat people, and this place is a bit special. The Myerson Stone was originally built around the remains of an ancient tower.
Relics? Mutt frowned.
Yes, that guardian tower is the relic of the ancients. Although the source and purpose of the tower are completely unknown, the light from the white crystal on the top of the tower has the effect of dispelling monsters. This allows the cat people to live and work in peace and contentment within the influence of the Guardian Tower without worrying about the attacks of the beasts.
Sounds great. The cat person boy sighed: As a cat person, I don't know anything about this kind of thing.
If you've been bought into Egypt to be a slave since you were sensible, it's only natural that you don't know these things. Tiger hummed: Besides, the effect of the Guardian's Tower cannot be replicated. In the past, countless brilliant scholars have come to study, trying to uncover the principle of the pure white crystal to disperse the demon beasts, but all of them were in vain, and they returned bitterly. If the tower of the guardian can be simply copied, then every village and every city in the Dawning area will be strongly protected, and we will no longer have to worry about the attacks of monsters, and we can live a more stable life.
Mutter didn't reply, at this moment he was fascinated by the white light of the guardian tower in the distance. The warm white light seemed to **** away the soul of the cat boy. It was full of nostalgic atmosphere, but it carried a deep sea-like sadness. It was the first time in his life that Mutter had seen such a mysterious and tragic light.
Ten minutes later, the black cavalry parked in front of a large lake on the outskirts of Melson Stone. Albert ignored Mutter's objection, walked to the lake, stripped naked, and jumped into the water.
Woo the tiger shivered, it's so cold! You also hurry down and wash up and put on your ceremonial clothes.
Another cold shower. The cat boy sighed, looking a little reluctant. In reality, however, he was eager to wash the dirt off his body right away, before the tiger noticed. Fortunately, it was dark, and Albert couldn't see the whole process of Mutter stripping his clothes and jumping into the water.
Your kid has a cold, meow? Albert could only see the blush on the boy's face through the night: Please don't fall ill first, there will be a dark American football game tomorrow!
I will persevere. Mu Tei turned his face away and stirred the cold lake water with his hands to wash off the dirt on his body. The cold made the heat in his body dissipate, and instead he felt much more relaxed. Judging from the current phase of the moon, the time is only about eight o'clock in the evening. After washing, they gave Ruf a funeral, buried the coffin, and had all night to rush back to Cairo. Because Albert couldn't wait to act in advance and didn't wait until late at night to steal the body, things went faster and smoother than Mutter imagined.
Okay, Albert then climbed out of the lake, he had had enough of the cold lake water, and washing his body was just a form of walking, quickly put on his clothes, it was time to start burying Luffy.
Uh, right here? Mutt was stunned.
On that little hill in front. Albert seems to have already chosen the address for his friend's burial. Luffy said before that he hopes to sleep in the hill that breathes from the sky and can see the light of the lake and the guardian tower at the same time. .
This turned out to be a faithfully executed funeral in accordance with the will of the cat-man boy Luffy. If the funeral was organized by the Monster Hunters organization, it is estimated that these details would not be considered at all, and Luff's ashes would only be buried in a cemetery somewhere in Melson Stone City.
Mutter crawled out of the lake, shaking the cold water off his body, but suddenly had this weird thought in his heart, it's great that Luff's funeral can be performed by him and Albert.
What followed was silent and monotonous, just digging the pit, and then Mutter and Albert worked together to lift the heavy coffin into the pit and bury it. If that's the case, the funeral should end like this.
That's it? Don't you put up a tombstone or something? Mutter asked curiously.
No. The tiger took a small sapling from the side: If the tombstone is erected, the hunter organization will definitely find Luffy's grave again. Those unrepentant guys would definitely dig up Luffy's body, incinerate it, have another funeral, and send the urn to the city cemetery to be buried. We'd better not let them do that stupid thing. Only the two of us in the world know about this cemetery, but hey, let Ruff rest peacefully in his favorite land.
Mutter grunts, no objection if you insist on doing so.
He also felt that instead of letting the cat-man Luff be admired as a heroic hunter of monsters who died in battle and buried in a place he didn't like, it would be better for Luff to be buried as an ordinary person in a place he didn't like. His favorite place, sleeping quietly. This should be the happiest thing for the dead.
Of course, when a person dies, he dies, and he will never feel anything again, nor will there be any joys or sorrows. Rufu, who has long been asleep, may have no way of knowing the difference between being buried by a lake and being buried in a cemetery.
All of these are just meaningful actions for the living, and to put it bluntly, Albert is seeking self-comfort.
Call. When the tiger took the sapling all the way to the tomb of the cat-man boy Luffy and packed everything up, he let out a long sigh: everything here is finally over. We can also go back to Egypt.
Then go, Mutter just turned around and wanted to go, but suddenly there seems to be someone shaking behind him: Who? !
The figure approached silently, walking rather slowly. It was only after she walked in that Albert and Mutter recognized from the moonlight that it was a cat-human woman.
Ruff? The woman then asked: Is it really Luffy?
Albert and Mutter's heart froze suddenly, and they seemed to have guessed something.
Who are you? Mutter replied in a low voice.
Stupid kid, can't even recognize his mother? The cat-human woman got closer, and it was only at this time that Mutter and the others realized that the woman was actually blind, and her legs and feet might not be convenient, so she could only walk on crutches, walking extremely slowly.
Sorry, my mother's eyesight has deteriorated a lot recently, and she can't see the road a bit. The woman smiled wryly and said: Come, let my mother take a good look at your face, how many years have not seen you.
At this time, the expression of the young cat man was particularly embarrassing. He looked at the young tiger man as if asking for help, hoping that Albert could give him some ideas. Tiger kept winking at Envoy Mu, as if to ask Mutt to go over and talk to his mother.
You must be kidding me. The cat boy muttered. He came to Myerson Stone just for sightseeing and for a walk, but he had no obligation to pretend to be a dead man.
But the cat boy also saw the undisguised sadness of the tiger on Albert's face. yes. Luffy's mother doesn't seem to know about Luffy's death, nor does she know that her son's body is buried nearby. Albert and the others were only here to bury Luffy, and they never expected to meet the family of the deceased. If she told Luffy's mother the truth at this time, it would be too cruel to Luffy's mother.
All in all, Albert just didn't have the courage to tell the truth.
Mutter hesitated, but walked over to the woman.
Oh, Ruff. The cat-human woman held the cat-human boy's face, got very close, and looked at the boy carefully: You have lost a lot of weight, haven't you eaten well recently? You can't do this. Didn't your mother keep telling you not to be picky eaters? If you want to be strong, you have to eat more meat.
Mutter felt embarrassed for a while~IndoMTL.com~ Then, out of nowhere, Luf's mother hugged Mutter.
Uh, the cat-man boy blushed. He didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at Albert with a look of help.
Ah, bad boy! It really scares my mom! The woman hugged the boy she thought was her son tightly, and sighed: When a message came from the hunter organization saying that you might be missing, my mother thought something would happen to you. do you know? Mom will come to this holy lake every night to pray, I hope you can come back safely. Sure enough, the god-sama who lives in this lake has helped my mother fulfill her wish and brought you back safely. Anyway, it's good for you to come back safely, thank God!
Albert on the side covered his mouth and tried his best to control his emotions. Fortunately, the woman's eyes were not good enough to see what Albert looked like at this time, otherwise she would have guessed everything.
By the way, is that your friend? Why has he been there without speaking? Ruff's mother asked.
He's Mr. Albert, a member of the hunter group, and he's in charge of bringing me back this time. Mutter replied in a low voice, making up as many lies as he could.
