Chapter 124: Immortality (Part 2)
After drilling out of the entrance of the mining area, the ghosts that followed were shining by the sun and quickly disappeared and melted into the air.
The entanglement with Immortal Life just now consumed a lot of physical strength and spells, so when Romon and Avesy left the mining area, they suddenly felt tired. However, they continued to walk for a while and called on the horses to go out.
At the end of June, the sun shines on people warmly and comfortably, especially now, it drives away the chill.
The hills and fields are golden, and even the dense bushes of trees appear quiet and peaceful on the hills.
Romon stopped the horse and took out a food bag from the bag, which contained a braised chicken and some bread. Then he found a place to rest.
"Romon, what's wrong with you just now? Did you find something?" Avesy asked when he remembered Romon's strange reaction just now.
Romon didn't actually intend to hide it from her. Just when she turned around, he had already taken out the small package put in the space. Seeing that she was asking now, he handed over the bread first: "You eat this first... Oh, I just discovered this and haven't seen what it is inside. However, it's very strange to have such a thing in the mining area."
"What is this?" Avesie did not take the bread first, took the package, curiously pulled the cowhide wrapped outside, and saw that there were several booklets made of kraft paper lying inside the cowhide.
She checked it first and found that there was nothing wrong with the booklet. Then she turned on the first page. There were a lot of words written on it. Avesy only glanced at it and looked up and asked Romon: "Did you just say that the possessed young man named Jacob, and he is the younger brother of Baron Galle?"
At this time, Romon was eating the braised chicken in big mouthfuls. This was the food he prepared. He nodded: "Yes, his name is Jacob, and his half-brother of Baron Galle... Why, this is related to Jacob?"
Hearing Avesie say this, he also leaned over to see. Due to the fierce battle just now, his body was sweating, and the rich masculine aura kept floating towards her as Romon approached. Avesie's face gradually showed an unnatural blush. Fortunately, Romon was looking down at the booklet, but he did not notice her strangeness.
"So this is Jacob's diary and spell book." After casually looking through a few pages, Romon finally determined the origin of these booklets and sighed softly.
The mage must have a spell book, otherwise it is difficult to think of complex spells at will, and it is natural to carry them with you. It may be that when you enter the mining area, you accidentally fell on the ground and discovered by yourself.
But it’s strange to write a diary. Why do these people always like to write diaries? Romon was puzzled, but the questions they had previously found the answers to this diary.
Among them, some key paragraphs are as follows:
"... God is unfair to me, everyone is unfair to me, I want to revenge! I want to revenge everyone! I want to let them know how much punishment they will receive when they abandon me, I want them to know that only me, only me, Jacob, is the master of the territory, only me, only me..."
"... My mother said that the reason she married a baron back then was because of the money that grandfather suddenly made. Because his grandfather had money, he could bribe the housekeeper of the Baron Mansion. Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, I must figure out what my grandfather discovered at the beginning, why he could make a fortune overnight, what he could do, maybe, I can..."
"... Today, I found some documents and information in my grandfather's room, which actually recorded many things about a secret silver mine. It turned out that there was such a secret silver mine hidden in my grandfather's village. These guys actually carried the lord and dared to do anything, such a village chief, or a town mayor, and for money, they could ignore anything. This is a reality. What a pity, because of the landslide incident, the mining area was abandoned, and those more than 100 lives were killed, which actually caused me to never have the chance to make a comeback. God is really unfair to me..."
"...Hahahaha... Today, I discovered a secret in the village, haha, I finally have a chance to retaliate against them..."
"...The breath of death is so strong. Sure enough, I guessed it right. There is a ghost about to be formed here. I want to release it and then summon it for my use. By that time, no one will be able to stop my revenge plan. All those who offend me will die! Hahahaha..."
After reading the diary, Romon and Avessi had roughly guessed the truth of the matter, and also understood why there was a secret silver mine here, but there was no record on the official map of the lord's jurisdiction. After knowing their identities, why the shopkeeper and the villagers were so hostile to them.
"Village Chief? That's the village chief of the village below now?" Romon said conjecture.
"Even if it is not, it's easy to check!"
"Well, as for the mayor, he must be the mayor of Jumu Town. Is it the original one? Just check it out." Romon said as he grabbed the diary.
After putting down the diary, Romon wiped and intervened, and continued to attack the braised chicken, and kept thinking. After eating most of the pieces, he finally got full and put them back, and said, "It seems that he discovered a small silver mine in the abandoned copper mine that year, and there was also a silver inside. The mayor of Jumu Town joined forces with the village chief in the mining area to mine the lord. In the end, the mayor and the village chief made a fortune, so the daughter of the village chief was the concubine of the baron and gave birth to Jacob."
"Well, this should be the case in general. Later, the mine collapsed and hundreds of people were buried alive in the ground, but they were covered up by the two sides." Avesie also ate a few slices of bread and cheese, and even if it was OK, she said.
"It's not just that. If the mine collapses alone, it will not be abandoned. The secret silver is very expensive. If there are still some below, even if hundreds of people die, they may not be willing to give up. It is probably almost the mine has dried up, and it may not be a disaster, but a man-made..." Romon stood up and said.
"..." Miss Avesy didn't speak.
"As for the following, it is also clear that Jacob, who failed to compete with his brother, could not stay in the city or in the castle. He had to go back to the village at a desperate situation, and found some secrets, and..." Romon frowned and said, "There are also some mystery groups, such as why he built an altar, etc., and we will know when we go down to the village to check it."
"Okay, let's go down."
The two of them went down the other road. The June wind blew across the earth and brought a little heat. The fields in the distance were still in pieces, but neither of them was in the mood to appreciate all this and urged their pedals to drive towards the distance.
"Avesy, do you know, what can I do to let the ghost rest in peace?" After a while of silence, Romon suddenly asked. Although there was no evidence, many of the entangled ghosts inside were miners buried alive.
It is estimated that most of these miners are from the village below, so even if they become ghosts, they subconsciously avoid their own villages and do not cause trouble to the village.
The purpose of their trip was to solve the problem of plants. Now the root of the problem has been found. As long as the ghosts rest in peace and the breath of death that permeates the entire territory disappears, the growth of plants will naturally not be affected, and their tasks can be completed.
Hearing Romon ask this question, Avesie flashed a little hesitation, but after looking at Romon, she finally made up her mind and said what she knew: "There are two ways to let the ghost rest in peace. One is to invite a powerful priest. The power of the priest can completely eliminate the ghost. Just invite a powerful priest to eliminate the ghost here. The other method is a little more troublesome, which is to satisfy their wishes. When their wishes are fulfilled, they will rest in peace."
"No, we must not use the first method. Even if they have a desire for revenge, it is because they were hurt first, and they are also victims..." Romon directly rejected the first option and asked Avesy: "If we choose the second method, what should we do?"
"If we choose the second method, then we need to collect evidence, let the deaths of these people be made public, and let the people who killed them at that time receive the punishment they deserve. As long as we do this, the ghost will rest in peace." Hearing Romon choose the second method without thinking, Avesie's face once again smiled.
"Okay, then we will collect evidence!" After hearing Avesy's words, Romon said: "At present, we only have Jacob's diary, which cannot be used as evidence. We must find more powerful evidence to give the more than a hundred dead villagers an explanation and allow the ghost to rest."
"I just read this diary and saw Jacob mentioning the documents in the former residence of the village several times. Why don't we go there and see it too. Since he can find clues there, maybe we can also collect some evidence." Avesy suggested.
Romon nodded in agreement.
The two of them had no chatting nature, and they both kept their heads down and headed to the village.
Since the village below may have been large in the past, but now it is very small, with only more than 30 households, it is easy to find the original village chief's residence even if no one cooperates.
Jacob mentioned the document in this diary, as long as it was not destroyed, it would be easy to find it.
The documents may not be enough, but if you have a double certificate, it can be proved.
Chapter completed!
