As in the past few days, the process of resurrecting the strange maid "Gilbert" made the four-armed maid "Cassandora" also recognize Luo Jie's amazing identity as the god Oberg.
When talking to Luo Jie again, the respect was no longer superficial, but awe and admiration from the heart.
She was adopted by the association since she was a baby, and her belief in the god Oberg is no weaker than that of "Malade".
After resurrecting the strange maid "Gilbert", Luo Jie ordered the search work in the Fish Eye Lake area to be temporarily suspended.
It’s not that the group doesn’t want to continue searching.
One of the main members, the old butler "Daniel", also died in this area, but the location is quite unclear. Trying to find the remains of a man who had been dead for many years without any obvious characteristics within an area of dozens of square kilometers would undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
.
In addition, the remains of several maid girls are also buried in the association headquarters. However, the main building has completely collapsed. Not only is it difficult to excavate, but these little girls who use thermal weapons have no decent fighting ability and cannot be seriously dug out.
Hot weapon?
Based on the above reasons, we can only wait until conditions are met before slowly digging and searching.
After resting for a while in Siyiwen Town near Fish Eye Lake, Luo Jie asked "Marikawa Shizuka" to transform into a white dragon form again and carry everyone all the way north.
The target is the Bailang River located on the northeastern border.
This is also the furthest journey Luo Jie has taken since arriving in the world of "Zhan Hong".
How far is it?
I have said before that the world background and map of "Zhanhong" are completely based on ancient China. The imperial capital is roughly located near Xianyang, Shaanxi, and the Bailang River on the northeastern border corresponds to the Heilongjiang water system in the northernmost part of China.
The straight-line distance is almost two thousand kilometers. Even at the flying speed of the white dragon, it would take two days and one night.
In this way, after a long and not very arduous journey, Luo Jie and the Oberg Killer Association arrived at Utoxi Street in the middle reaches of the White Wolf River.
This is a town famous for its hot springs. Hot spring baths of various sizes can be seen everywhere on both sides of the main street, which is several hundred meters long. It is winter, and the entire street is shrouded in a fairyland-like mist.
"Ah, it's Utoxi Street... I remember that I sent mother-in-law Barbara and little girl Taeko to perform a mission in the nearby White Wolf River area, but unfortunately they never came back."
Standing on the crowded street, "Maillard", who had restored her original attire, was filled with emotions.
"Master Nightmare, aren't we looking for the remains of Granny Barbara and Taeko? Why do we come to this hot spring street?" "Cassandora", who was wearing a classic black and white maid outfit, was a little confused.
Her outfit has an extra shawl than the "Gilbert" next to her, which just hides the two extra arms to avoid attracting too much attention.
"They were killed here...but the remains of 'Barbara' will definitely not be found. We only brought 'Taeko' back this time."
If possible, Luo Jie would of course want to resurrect "Barbara", who is a ruthless person who can fight against one Teigu user and two ministerial users without falling short.
If he had not understood the Teigu [Kill with One Slash, Murasame] and was carelessly poisoned by the curse, the outcome of this battle would not have been known.
It's just that "Barbara" blew herself up with an explosive egg and died. Her whole body was blown to pieces. After so many years, God knows where those bones and scum have flown.
On the contrary, there are still traces of the remains of the young killer named "Taeko" whom she taught.
"Maillard, Cassandora, Gilbert, go and investigate the large unfinished buildings or factories nearby. If you find a tombstone with the name "Cornelia" engraved on it, please notify me immediately.
"
"Yes, Lord Night Dire."
After receiving the order, the three of them immediately separated and went to various places.
Luo Jie was not idle either. Before "Mailard" and others returned, he went to the food store on the street to replenish the food supplies on the way back.
A few hours later, news came from the strange maid "Gilbert" that they had found the building with the tombstone inside.
Luo Jie immediately took "Mailard" and "Cassandora" to meet at the communication office.
"Lord Nightmare, who is this "Cornelia"? Why is the tombstone built here?"
Luo Jie stepped forward and wiped off the dust on the tombstone. After confirming the words on it, he asked "Mailad" to release swarms of detection insects around, and explained to the three of them the origin of this strange tomb built indoors.
Back then, "Barbara", "Taeko" and "Chelsea" came to the White Wolf River to perform a mission. They were dragged down by pig teammates of a mercenary group called the "Tengu Party" and were ambushed on the way. They made a decisive retreat and arrived.
Utoxi Street, resting in a hot spring hotel.
However, coincidentally, their target, all members of the Empire's assassination force, also lived in this hot spring hotel.
Without knowing each other's identity, "Taeko" also became friends with "Cornelia", the No. 3 member of the Imperial Assassination Force, and the other party introduced "Red Eyes" to "Taeko".
Later, under the investigation of "Chelsea", the identities of all members of the Empire's assassination force were unilaterally exposed.
"Taeko" was sent by "Barbara" to assassinate its members, and designed to lure "Cornelia" out alone. After a fierce battle, "Cornelia" was wounded and killed.
On the way back, "Taeko" unexpectedly encountered "Red Eyes" again. She wanted to take another head while the other party was not alert, but she didn't expect that "Red Eyes" was as powerful as her.
"Taeko" was fighting with injuries, and because she didn't know the characteristics of "Aka Hitomi"'s weapon [Kiriichi Monji], "Aka Hitomi" finally caught the flaw and counterattacked.
Before she died, "Taeko" revealed her true feelings to "Red Eyes", saying that she didn't know the identity of "Cornelia" before, and she sincerely regarded her as a friend, but she didn't expect that fate would play tricks on people. She hoped that if there was an afterlife, she could be with her.
"Cornelia" remained friends until the end.
These words greatly touched "Red Eyes", and she began to reflect on why the rebel party, which was described as the source of the country's turmoil, was completely different from what she had imagined.
Later, due to the inconvenience of long-distance transportation, "Cornelia's" body was buried on the spot in the abandoned factory where she died.
The above is the origin of this strange tombstone.
Although the whereabouts of "Taeko"'s body was not disclosed, with "Red Eyes"'s kindness, it was impossible to allow "Taeko" who had been a friend for a short period of time to be buried in the wilderness. In all likelihood, it was also buried nearby.
Sure enough, the "Maillard" insect swarm quickly found the skeleton of a girl behind the factory building, and a rusty long sword was buried with it.
It is the original sword of "Taeko".
Is it unexpected to update at this time? If you are happy, please hand over your tickets quickly... Taeko's rabbit, oh, it's Tutu, I will post it in the easter egg chapter tomorrow.
