Shade has known for a long time that every detail of the witches is the most perfect. After having a closer relationship with Carina, this has been confirmed in other ways. But even the blood is flawless.
It was still beyond his understanding.
"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 he resisted the urge to raise the corners of his mouth and put the test tube in front of the grave with an expressionless expression. Waiting for her to withdraw.
After opening it, Xia De stepped forward and put down the diary. In this way, six items were displayed in a ring 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 mist dissipated, the six items had disappeared:
"Descendant of the lord, the key now belongs to you."
The soul nodded to the pharmacist, and then disappeared. Like the soul of the pharmacist's great-grandmother buried in the old tomb of the lighthouse, this soul also continued to walk 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."
Shade 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, under the illumination of the surrounding fireball, he dug the second grave of the day. The rhythm of the shovel shoveling the soil fully demonstrated that Shade was not very happy to do this kind of work, and he was getting more and more
The neat movements indicate 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 jet black metal coffin was just like the lord's wife's coffin, with silver patterns like roots spread all over:
"It doesn't seem to be a coincidence. Such a coffin should have a specific meaning."
Shade said softly, but the pharmacist girl 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
, far inferior to the one of 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 small protrusions facing in different directions. At the same time, there is a clear red blood line attached to the surface of the key column. Although the key handle is also made of bone, it has both front and back sides.
Inlaid with obsidian and amethyst respectively, if you look at the light, you will see the shadow of the child model lake in both.
"Those materials were actually used to cast the key. I thought it was just a symbol."
Shade lamented that the process of taking out the key 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 had no intention of helping, and stood aside playing with the key with her head down.
After Xia De had 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 purchased fine gold, mithril, and orichalcum for a similar purpose. So where are the doors with many keyholes, or those doors?
"
The pharmacist lady shook her head slightly:
"This is related to some deeper secrets, which I can't tell you yet..."
"I've 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 about the other Edward.
This is your tomb."
He said, and 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 turned her back to Shade and smiled, 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 of the golden thread blessed by the witch's secret technique, even if the two of them could only walk on
If you see Fangmohu in the fog, you don’t have to worry about getting separated.
Around 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 area of the pond is very small, almost the same as the area of two summer beds. The pond is not connected to any ditch, but this is not stagnant water, it 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 his hands and then spun around ten times.
lock up.
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, and the cemetery can only be seen in a specific way. Similar to the thaumaturgy used by Professor Garcia at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square - space division, space combination (Chapter 47
).】
"She" explained gently in her ear, and the pharmacist lady motioned for Shade to follow her into the cemetery:
"I know this place not based on the information left by my father, but through other channels where I found the Edwards family's scattered items. Those tomb robbers who stole this place may have similar clues."
The cemetery is very small, surrounded by a black iron fence, and the gate at the entrance is decorated with elderflowers on both sides. However, there are no graves in the small cemetery, only densely erected stones.
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 probably have never seen this kind of cemetery that is only for one person. Yes, there is only one tomb here, not simply buried in the ground and then erecting a tombstone. Look at that small house, that is the ossuary where the coffin is stored.
"
The misty yard was covered with weeds, but the weeds were not very high. They walked dozens of steps along the vaguely visible stone road, passed the stone statues of angels, humans and various animals erected on both sides of the road, and arrived at the building door.
forward.
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 is not locked. After pushing the door open, you can see the stone in the narrow space.
The quality coffin was placed in the center, with the feet of the coffin facing a small table, on which a long-lasting candle made by alchemy was lit. Because the area was really small, in order not to get within 1 meter of the pharmacist, Shade stood
The door is not deep:
"Stone? This coffin is finally not made of metal."
The pharmacist lady beside the coffin shook her head:
"No, I added the outer sarcophagus, and the inner one is actually a metal coffin. However, 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, who died young.
Rust Edwards’s mausoleum originally contained many grave goods, but they were all stolen by tomb robbers.”
"This tomb is much better than the one of your great-grandmother that we saw at noon. That one was lying alone in the woods, which was really weird."
Shade commented, and the sorceress pursed her lips:
"Because great-grandmother is not the real Edwards, she just married into this family."
Shade did not comment on this:
"That group of tomb robbers must not be ordinary people, right? Otherwise they wouldn't 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 it 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."
Most of the spaces on the stone wall are filled with long candles placed by the pharmacist. There are some very delicate boxes in a few spaces, but the boxes are all empty. Shade looked at them, his eyes moving from top to bottom, from left to right.
He glanced around, suddenly startled, and then asked the pharmacist lady:
"Can you show me the stone box over there?"
The sorceress nodded:
"Okay, but there's nothing in it."
She waved her hand, 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, confirming his thoughts:
"I didn't feel wrong. Although the residue of the miracle 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 came from Michaela Blast Furnace City to the Randall Valley and sold the angel finger bones to the Watson family.
