The Whispering Verses Chapter 1631: Cemetery and Ossuary


Shad has known from a long time ago that every detail of the witches is perfect, and his closer relationship with Carina has confirmed this in other ways. But even the fact that the blood was flawless was beyond his comprehension.

"Very beautiful."

He praised softly, but the pharmacist lady probably didn't understand what he was praising, and thought he was talking about his wrist, so she resisted the urge to raise the corners of her mouth and placed the test tube in front of the grave with an expressionless expression. After she stepped away, Shade stepped forward and put down the diary. In this way, six items were displayed in a circular shape in front of the tombstone.

"Blacksmith, I want a key."

The pharmacist lady said:

"The materials are ready, please accept them."

The blacksmith's soul nodded to her, and the mist came out of the ground, covering the six items. When the fog dissipated, the six items had disappeared:

"Descendant of the lord, the key now belongs to you."

The soul nodded to the pharmacist lady and then disappeared. Like the soul of the pharmacist's great-grandmother buried in the old tomb of the lighthouse, this soul has also moved on.

The sorceress blinked in surprise:

"Where's the key? He hasn't given me the key yet?"

She reached into her pocket and directed the fireball to fly around the small cemetery to see if the key was lying among the weeds on the ground.

But in the end they found nothing, so the brown-haired lady could only look at Shade with a slight apology.

"I understand, I understand."

Xia De sighed, pulled the shovel out of his pocket, and inserted it into the ground again:

"Get out of the way, I'll do it."

So in the thick fog, illuminated by the surrounding fireball, he dug the second grave of the day. The rhythm of the shovel shoveling the soil fully shows that Shade is not very happy to do this kind of work, and his increasingly sharp movements show that he is gradually mastering the skills of "gravedigger".

The shovel of the shovel hit the metal coffin, and the coffin also rose to the ground. The surface of the dark metal coffin was just like the lord’s wife’s coffin, covered with silver patterns like roots:

"It seems to be no coincidence, such a coffin should have a specific meaning."

Xia De said softly, but the pharmacist lady still shook her head. This was the first time she knew about this. When all the details of the coffin were revealed under the fireball, they also discovered that although the style was similar, the fineness of the coffin and the quality of the metal were far inferior to the one belonging to the pharmacist's great-grandmother.

The opening method was the same as last time. With Shade and Miss Pharmacist applying force at the same time, the coffin lid was opened, revealing the dead bones lying inside and the white bone key held tightly in the bone claws.

The key is not big. On the cylindrical key column, there are short cylindrical protrusions pointing in different directions. At the same time, there is a clear red blood line attached to the surface of the key pillar. Although the key handle is also made of bone, the front and back sides are inlaid with obsidian and amethyst. Looking at the light, there are shadows of the child model lake in both.

"Those materials were actually used to cast the key. I thought it was just a symbol."

Xia De lamented that during the process of taking out the key, he did not encounter anything like the resurgence of the undead. And this key is obviously not an ordinary item, it is an alchemy tool, but I don't know what it is used for.

As agreed, Shade gave the key to the pharmacist, and then buried the coffin back. During this period, the pharmacist lady had no intention of helping him. She stood aside and played with the key with her head lowered.

After Xia De leveled the land and thought he had the potential to become a tombkeeper, he held the shovel and asked:

"Since there is a key, there must be a door. Last time you mentioned that you had a similar purpose in purchasing fine gold, mithril, and orichalcum. So what about that door with many keyholes, or those doors? Where? ”

The pharmacist girl shook her head slightly:

"This is related to some deeper secrets, which I can't tell you yet."

"I have been so deeply involved in your family's past, and you still can't trust me completely?"

He asked, putting away the shovel, but not making it more difficult for the pharmacist. As the key was taken out, the surrounding dense fog returned to normal levels again:

"I think sooner or later, you will tell me. Since what I want to seek is not your family secrets, it doesn't matter if I know it now. It's getting late, take me to see what you know. In addition, An Edwards grave."

He said, the sorceress nodded, looked at the key in her hand, then raised her head and pursed her lips to look at Shade:

"If one day I can really open the door corresponding to this key, I will invite you to go with me."

"As long as I'm not asked to dig graves again, I'll be happy."

The brown-haired lady understood the slight resentment in Shade's words. She smiled with her back to Shade, but looked at the fog in the night and sighed softly.

After leaving the cemetery, they did not return to the forest path connecting the town and the dock, but walked deeper into the forest. Because there is a golden thread blessed by the witch's secret technique, even if the two of them can only see each other's figure in the fog, they don't have to worry about being separated.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, after passing by an abandoned hunter's cabin in the forest, they stopped at a pond in the forest not far from the hunter's cabin.

The pond is very small, almost the same size as two Shades' beds. The pond is not connected to any ditch, but this is not stagnant water either, this is gushing groundwater.

"This way."

The pharmacist lady led Shade around the small pond twice clockwise and then three times counterclockwise. After returning to the starting point, she covered her eyes with her hands and spun around ten times.

When I took my hand away again, the hunter's cabin turned into a small cemetery standing in the fog.

[It’s not hiding through magic, it’s a very clever way of folding space. The cemetery can only be seen through a specific method. Similar to the thaumaturgy used by Professor Garcia at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square - space division and space assembly (Chapter 47). 】

"She" explained gently in her ear, and the pharmacist lady motioned to Shade to follow her into the cemetery:

"I know this place not based on the information left by my father, but from other channels where I found the scattered items of the Edwards family. Those tomb robbers who stole this place may have similar clues."

The cemetery is small and surrounded by a black iron fence. The entrance gate is decorated with elderflowers on both sides. However, there are no tombs in the small cemetery, only densely erected stone statues and buildings in the center of the cemetery.

As if seeing Shade’s doubts, the sorceress who opened the small door of the cemetery explained:

"You have probably never seen this kind of cemetery prepared only for one person. Yes, there is only one grave here, not simply buried in the ground and then erecting a tombstone. Look at the small house, that is where the coffin is parked Ossuary."

The misty yard is full of weeds, but the weeds are not high. They walked dozens of steps along the faintly visible stone road, passing through the stone statues of angels, humans and various animals erected on both sides of the road, and arrived at the door of the building.

On the left and right sides of the ossuary are two angel statues covering their faces, but fortunately they are not relics [Weeping Angels], they are just decorations. The door was unlocked. After pushing the door open, one could see that in the narrow space, a stone coffin was placed in the center. The feet of the coffin faced a small table, and a long-lasting candle made by alchemy was lit on the table. Because the area was really small, in order not to get within 1 meter of the pharmacist, Xia De stood at the door and did not go deep:

"Stone? This coffin is not made of metal after all."

The pharmacist lady beside the coffin shook her head:

"No, I added the outer sarcophagus, and the inner side is actually a metal coffin, but I didn't check it carefully, so I was so surprised when I saw my great-grandmother's coffin at noon. This is the eldest daughter of the second generation, The tomb of Rusty Edwards, who died young, originally contained many burial objects, but they were all stolen by tomb robbers. ”

"This tomb is much better than the one of your great-grandmother we saw at noon. That one was lying alone in the woods, which was really weird."

Xia De commented, the sorceress pursed her lips:

"Because great-grandmother is not the real Edwards, she just married into this family."

Xia De has no comment on this:

"The group of tomb robbers must not be ordinary people, right? Otherwise they would not be able to find them here."

"Judging from the traces, it is a low-level warlock leading a group of ordinary people. The other party has clues and has relics specially used for treasure hunting, otherwise it would be impossible to discover this cemetery."

She pointed to the squares that had been dug out of the walls of the small ossuary:

"There should be burial objects in every grid, but when I found out that this place was stolen, there were only opened boxes all over the floor."

She took a deep breath to control her emotions:

"Don't let me find them."

Nowadays, most of the spaces on the stone wall are filled with everlasting candles placed by the pharmacist lady. There are some very delicate boxes in a few spaces, but the boxes are all empty. Shade looked at them, his eyes scanning from top to bottom and from left to right. He was suddenly startled, and then asked the pharmacist:

"Can you show me that stone box over there?"

The sorceress nodded:

"Yes, but there's nothing in it."

She waved, and the stone box flew towards Shade. Shade opened it, and sure enough it was empty. But he pressed his fingers against the inner wall of the box to confirm his idea:

"I didn't feel wrong. Although the residue of the miraculous element is very, very slight, this unique trace of the element definitely comes from..."

[Those angel finger bones obtained from the Randall Valley. Yes, you have found the traces of the group of tomb robbers who sold the angel finger bones to the Watson family from Michaela Blast Furnace City to the Randall Valley. 】
