Chapter 1841
Miss Bernice's 11th-ring spirit runes were already complete. At this time, the new spirit rune miracle—【Travel】 was just icing on the cake. The spiritual light of the Life Ring echoed with the golden stairs symbolizing the identity of the Great Witch. The girls stood up in surprise, watching the Great Witch they followed improve her strength further.
Until this moment, the beautiful blonde witch stood up and looked back at the symbol of her strength:
"It's time to hold the ritual."
She said so, nodded to Xia De and Silas on the stage, put away the Life Ring and golden stairs, and walked hurriedly toward the exit of the performance hall. The witch's followers immediately followed. The Great Witch's promotion ritual is more cumbersome than that of a ring warlock. They know that Miss Bernice still needs help.
"It's really good. I thought Vanessa would advance after the Green Lake matter ended. In this way, adding her, the 12th level of the council already has eight (Chapter 1656). If we add the Great Witch Edwards who is also facing promotion, the 12th level of the council will have five... it should be six, Miss Sylvia's talent is better than most witches, and her promotion to the 12th level is just a matter of time. This is a rare prosperous era for the council since the Sixth Era."
In the small performance hall, only Xia De and Silas remained on the stage. The blonde girl felt happy for her best friend, and then looked at Xia De:
"Now at least three Great Witches have been promoted to the 12th level, all related to you."
"The ladies are so good to me, I can only use these to repay you."
Gust said, Silas shook her head slightly:
"Witches don't care what you repay them with, witches only care that they must get what they want."
"First dig it open to see the condition of the remains. It's eight o'clock now, these ghouls usually act after eleven o'clock, we still have three hours."
The priest said, sticking his palm to the muddy forehead of the skeleton. A moment later, he frowned again:
"To deal with this kind of grave, it's enough."
"Dig this one open. The information you provided to me one after another is very accurate. I have been tracking the descendants of Lu Piaorou Town these days."
Gust also took off his coat and threw it on a tombstone on the side:
"I'm worried that Vanessa will be unhappy."
"Angel-level relic 【Soul Storybook】, highly likely it's that. The corpses on the island are the same, the soul cannot leave after death. I haven't contacted the corpses of the townspeople who escaped from that island besides the Edwards family. I really didn't expect that even if they left that island, their souls still couldn't rest in peace."
This is a wooden coffin, which is rotten and unbearable because of the long time. Gust and the doctor threw the shovel aside, and then the two of them raised their hands neatly:
Priest Priest Ao Gu Si sighed, jumped into the grave pit, put on gloves, and checked the skeleton carefully:
"Get up~"
The doctor's energy is also very high. Priest Priest Ao Gu Si rarely takes the initiative to ask others for help, and still helps with this kind of thing, which is also very fresh for him.
Beautiful eyes looked at Gust. Deep in her eyes, besides a certain extremely intense emotion, there was also melancholy:
"Detective, you are really punctual. I like people like you who have a sense of time. Most of the patients who make appointments with me, I suspect they can't even read a clock."
Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, two brothers with the surname Flynn came here from outside and settled in different places. The village derived from the elder brother was called "Little Flynn Village," while the "Big Flynn Village" in the north of the lake was where the younger brother's descendants lived. Of course, that is just a local legend, and there is no deep meaning in it.
"He alone, nine sons? Is there any special method for that?"
"What's wrong?"
With two strong laborers like Gust and the doctor, digging a grave in the moonlight is not difficult. Soon the mound of soil got higher and higher, and then the shovel hit the coffin underground.
"This inference is very reasonable. Flesh and soul are both used as ritual materials, which is consistent with the so-called ascension technique I described. However, in this way, although it can communicate with spirits, in order not to cause the power feedback of the relic that controls the soul, we can only ask three questions. It just so happens that we have three people here, one question per person."
Looking at Gust from a close distance, the distance between the two got closer and closer, until Silas stood on tiptoe and kissed Gust.
"No problem, what's the plan?"
The priest straightened his waist and pointed to the tombstone he had just checked:
What "that night" refers to, Gust's memory is very clear. As for when Miss Lu Piaoni danced on the stage, Silas was in the backstage, and Gust really didn't pay attention.
Priest Priest Ao Gu Si didn't explain how he judged it, but he visited all parts of the Green Lake area these days, and should have discovered some patterns.
Gust spat on his palms twice, and then dug the first shovel of soil.
As for this grave, it buried an important townsperson who escaped from the town when Green Lake Town declined. He used to be the owner of one of the only two grocery stores in the town. He and his three brothers were buried here, but his nine sons later moved to the other side of the lake. The church has already found and protected those descendants who still live in Lu Piaorou City on the other side of the lake. As for the seven graves here, I am very sure that the three Ghoul brothers will come tonight to dig up and steal the remains."
The outsider's adventure in Randall Valley was mostly related to Silas's father, and it was he who accompanied Silas to witness the whole process of her father voluntarily becoming a "Guardian." Therefore, Gust knows what Silas thinks of him, otherwise, in the "White Mist Camp," she wouldn't have appeared in the form of a scarecrow.
By the moonlight, Gust entered this inconspicuous village cemetery. The cemetery is surrounded by stone piles and hedges, and the overall area is not large. Although there is an old man hired by the villagers as a gravedigger, obviously ordinary people cannot stop ring warlocks.
Although the date between the two was very pleasant, Gust didn't forget that there were other things on this Friday night. He was a bit late when he left the Glass Bottle Opera House, fortunately, the carriage was very fast. When Gust arrived at the agreed location, which was the cemetery outside the village of "Little Flynn Village," a large village in the north of Mikaela Furnace City, the time had just reached 1:17 AM.
"Can't communicate with spirits later, I am also very curious."
The only building in the cemetery is the gravedigger's house in the southernmost part of the cemetery and the house for temporarily placing coffins. The cemetery is rugged, and the villagers' graves are just piled up with mounds and tombstones, which is a very traditional way of burial.
He jumped off the tombstone, picked up the shovel on the ground, kept one for himself, and threw the other to Lu Piao:
Gust said jokingly, the doctor waved his hand at him:
The doctor and Gust nodded together, and then found unexpectedly that the other party didn't feel surprised because of the priest's words either.
Gust was very surprised, the doctor leaned on the shovel and laughed on the side:
After all, Miss Xia De's performance was too flat.
The coffin board nailed with nails popped open, but landed steadily on the side. Gust glanced at the gravedigger's house that still had no movement, and then the three people by the grave pit leaned forward to look at the coffin together. The corpse inside had indeed rotted into a mess.
"If I didn't know you, I would think we were here to steal corpses tonight."
"Then let's set other traps. But since it's still early, why don't we try to communicate with spirits."
"After all, it's been almost a hundred years, time~"
"No problem, the corpse is very complete and hasn't been contaminated by other forces. In fact, if it's made into a trap, the explosive 'Corpse Explosion' has the greatest power and also hurts ghouls. But we have no grudges with the old gentleman lying here, and it's not good to rashly destroy his corpse."
While saying that, he kissed Gust again:
"Wrong."
Priest Priest Ao Gu Si nodded:
Under the moon, Priest Ao Lu Piao had arrived. When Gust saw them, Priest Ao Lu Piao was holding an unlit pipe, squatting down by the moonlight, checking a very old tombstone. Beside the old priest's feet were two shovels. As for Doctor Schneider, he was sitting on another tombstone not far away, his coat taken off and padded under his butt.
"So after we dig it open, we set traps, right?"
"The corpse's soul is actually still sleeping in the corpse and hasn't left."
"Alright, you two stop joking, we only have this one chance tonight. The church will send people here tomorrow. If the plan doesn't work tonight, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity again."
Priest Ao Lu Piao said very seriously, so Lu Piao and the doctor prepared to take action. They had no psychological burden about digging up other people's graves privately, after all, it could be considered protecting the owner of the grave. Once taken away by the three Ghoul brothers, it could only be used as ritual material.
Lu Piao said, the priest nodded:
"So, just don't let her know... do you still want to see me dance? After the Green Lake matter is over, I can arrange for you to come again."
The priest in the grave pit held the head and conducted a professional analysis:
"That's abnormal. Even if there is an obsession that turns into a ghost, it won't have any movement for so many years. Wait a minute, let me see... Whisper elements, so that's how it is. A certain relic that controls the soul forces him to be unable to leave the corpse after death."
The doctor asked with great interest. Although he is good at devil power, he really has no research on corpses.
This kiss was quite deep. There was no third person in the small performance hall, so no one disturbed the reunion kiss. However, after the kiss ended, Silas reminded Gust in a low voice not to tell Miss Xia De what they did there:
"Just like Vanessa. Since we parted in Randall Valley, I have always remembered the dance you performed for him... That night, I was watching you in the backstage."
"Get ready to work."
