Since traveling to another world, Li Ziyu has almost never left the Castle of the Dead. The castle is bound to him. It is not only his foundation, but also his life.
After coming to this world, he experienced nearly two months of being on tenterhooks. It wasn't until he returned to the castle that Li Ziyu completely relaxed and realized what safety and comfort meant again.
Being surrounded by endless undead, for other people, it is fear itself. Let alone sleep, even if you move, you are afraid of disturbing the undead. But for Li Ziyu, it is simply the greatest safety in the world. Let him
I believe no one can approach him quietly and send him on his way.
This night was the most comfortable sleep I had had in nearly two months. I slept deeply and didn't even dream.
A familiar place, a familiar bed, and familiar people sleeping beside me.
When Li Ziyu opened his eyes again, he felt full of energy, and his body seemed to be awakened and rejuvenated.
I got up from the bed, came to the window, and looked at the scenery outside. Well, it was still a mess and not very beautiful.
The sun had already risen in the sky. I looked at the time in the system and saw it was half past nine.
The bedroom door was carefully pushed open. Li Ziyu turned around and saw Meng Ni poking her little head in to take a look. When she saw Li Ziyu, Meng Ni's eyes immediately curled up and her smile turned into a crescent moon.
Opening the door and coming in, Mengni was holding a basin of warm water in her hand, "Master, you're up, I'll help you wash up."
Mengni got up earlier than Li Ziyu. When she got up, Li Ziyu was still sleeping soundly, so she didn't disturb him. She felt that it was almost time, so she brought warm water.
Under Meng Ni's service, Li Ziyu washed up and put on a new set of clothes, and then brought Meng Ni to the restaurant.
During breakfast, Li Ziyu had people call Elena, Torento, Damenlevsky and the others, who had already finished their breakfast.
"Everyone, please sit down." After the people arrived, Li Ziyu pointed to the seats at the dining table and said to several people.
After a few people pulled out the chairs and sat down, Li Ziyu said while eating, "It still needs some time to repair. During this time, I plan to get in touch with the royal family of the Kingdom of Leon. Are you interested in joining me?"
He mainly asked Torento and Elena, both of whom were born and raised aboriginal people. Biebta and Damenlevsky were outsiders just like him.
"I will serve you at all times." Torento said without hesitation.
It is important to get in touch with the royal family, but it is even more important to follow Li Ziyu.
He saw very clearly that Li Ziyu was not an ordinary thigh. To say that it was a pure gold thigh would be derogatory. You should not hold on to such a thigh!
Elena also plans to follow Li Ziyu. She was born in the poor. After following Li Ziyu out of the slums, everything she experienced made her feel extremely curious. It was an unforgettable journey. If she could experience more, she also hoped that
Able to experience more.
After breakfast, Li Ziyu took Mengni, Torento, and Elena, plus the undead who acted as bodyguards, and headed toward Budapest.
The royal family has been paying attention to the movements of the undead. When they knew that the undead were coming, they immediately ordered them to come in directly, so no one stopped Li Ziyu at all. The city gates were wide open, and the streets were thoughtfully cleaned for Li Ziyu and Li Ziyu.
The undead left a wide road leading directly to the palace.
Arriving at the palace, Li Ziyu met Arauño.
"Master." Arauño saluted with great respect and paid homage to Li Ziyu.
"Well, Arauño, take me to see the temple in Budapest." Li Ziyu nodded and said to him.
"As ordered." Arauño responded and went to make preparations himself.
The reason why Li Ziyu wanted to see the temple as soon as he came was because he wanted to make sure that the royal family was really what he thought and was retaining the traditions of the past.
Temples and cemeteries are the best ways to detect this.
If these two places are the same as Sonderborg and Cuisen Mountain City, it means that the royal family's respect yesterday was just an act, and your attitude towards them needs to change.
Under the guidance of Arauño, Li Ziyu visited the Shrine of the Dead and the Prayer Cemetery in Budapest.
The Leon royal family really respects tradition and always remembers the souls of the dead.
In Budapest, the Temple of the Dead and the Prayer Cemetery are two very popular attractions.
The first thing I went to was the prayer cemetery.
This is a cemetery covering a huge area, where not only people from the capital of Leon are buried, but it is also the largest park in Budapest.
Yes, the prayer cemetery is very well built, with paved roads with stone slabs, rockeries, benches for resting, flowers in bloom, and green trees. If it weren't for the tombstones, Li Ziyu would never have imagined that this place would be here.
It is actually a prayer cemetery, without the gloomy feeling of a cemetery at all.
When Arauño led Li Ziyu and others there, there were many Budapest residents in the prayer cemetery, who came to relax in their spare time.
People not only come to the prayer cemetery to remember their loved ones, but they also really regard it as a park. They like to take a walk here when they have nothing to do.
The prayer cemetery is a growing building. As more and more corpses are buried in the cemetery, the cemetery will grow and become larger and larger, and new functions will appear.
, such as naturally formed underground tombs.
The Prayer Cemetery in Budapest has a long history, many corpses were buried, and it was well taken care of, so there are underground tombs.
Of course, the underground tomb that was born naturally in the prayer cemetery will not be decorated. The entrance to the tomb is a big black hole. After entering, there is a broad downward passage. At the bottom is a tomb chamber of about 100 square meters. This is the original underground tomb.
The appearance of the tomb is the same in every new catacomb in the prayer cemetery.
When Arauño led Li Ziyu to the entrance of the underground tomb, Li Ziyu was surprised to find that above the entrance was a tomb that seemed to have been carefully designed with a sign on it. Toronto secretly told him
, the sign says "Public Cemetery".
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Arauño explained to Li Ziyu that according to the instructions of the Holy Corpse, the prayer cemetery is open to everyone in Budapest, whether they are poor people, nobles, or royal families, they can be buried
Enter the cemetery and be buried only in the prayer cemetery.
But, the space in the cemetery is limited. Budapest itself, plus the surrounding villages and small cities, there are millions of people in the entire territory, and everyone needs to be buried in the prayer cemetery.
The royal family had long discovered that the cemetery would gradually expand on its own, but the expansion rate was limited. They found that sometimes there was not enough space and some bodies could not be buried.
Just when the royal family was a little worried, the underground catacombs suddenly appeared. After some research, the royal family made a decision. They would plan a prayer cemetery and would not allow others to bury corpses at will. The cemetery would start charging fees.
.
Depending on the cost, the body is buried in different places, and the beauty of the tombstone must also be taken into consideration.
The common people and poor people who cannot afford to spend money will be sent to the underground tombs for burial.
The nobles expressed that they were very satisfied with this approach. They were not short of money, and even if they died, they still wanted to show their differences to the world. The royal family's approach satisfied them.
Not only that, in order to show their nobility, nobles often spent a lot of money in an attempt to occupy more space and make their tombs larger than others. The royal family had to order that the size of all tombs must be in accordance with regulations.
Once the size of the tomb has been set, the nobles can only work on the tombstones. Therefore, exquisite tombstones abound in prayer cemeteries, and the materials, carvings, and epitaphs are extremely exquisite.
The royal family was surprised to find that they had made a fortune by buying burial plots in the prayer cemetery.
After some research, the royal family decided to take out the money and reinvest it into the cemetery to make the cemetery look more beautiful. This is how the current park-like prayer cemetery was built, which is what Li Ziyu saw.
of.
Li Ziyu was greatly surprised after listening to Arauño's explanation, and felt deeply that the Leon royal family really had something to offer and had great business acumen.
This is the first time Li Ziyu has seen the underground tomb. The prayer cemetery he laid down in the wasteland has only been around for a short time, and there are few people buried in it, so there is no underground tomb. Li Ziyu is quite curious and plans to go in and have a look.
Arauño naturally agreed and accompanied Li Ziyu into the "public tomb".
The passage leading down has been repaired. It has stone steps and special oil lamps on both sides. The entire passage is illuminated extremely brightly. However, the walls on both sides of the passage are filled with coffins, forming a
On the coffin wall, judging from the decay of the wood and the weathering of the stone, these coffins must have been around for a very long time.
Go down the stone steps and reach the tomb chamber.
There are also a large number of ever-burning oil lamps arranged in the tomb chamber, which is very bright.
The surrounding walls are actually made of human bones, and skulls are piled up to form the walls. Even with oil lamps lighting, people feel chilly and frightened.
It was the first time Elena saw such a scene. She turned pale with fright and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Li Ziyu's clothes. Not to mention she was a little girl. Even Torento's face was equally ugly. Then, then
Looking at the white bones really doesn't feel good.
On the other hand, Li Ziyu and Meng Ni didn't feel anything at all. Instead, they visited with great interest.
Mengni had seen what the Castle of the Undead looked like before. At that time, the Castle of the Undead was all made of bones. It was much scarier than here, but after seeing it familiarly, there was nothing special about it.
On the contrary, here, the walls are made of human skulls, which are neatly arranged and look somewhat strange.
The wall of skulls reminded Li Ziyu of a place in his previous life called the Ossuary Hall, also known as the Skeleton Tomb. It was quite a famous place in his previous life.
Before traveling, he had never been there and had only seen photos on the Internet. Unexpectedly, he would actually see it after coming to another world.
Li Ziyu walked inside while looking at it. What he saw were walls made of bones, one after another. It was unknown how many people were buried.
Arauño consciously acted as a commentator. It turned out that as the number of corpses continued to increase, the area of the underground tombs was also rapidly increasing, with a large number of passages leading to each tomb.
The newly arrived corpses will be put into the innermost tomb. The corpses buried in the underground tomb will not be as badly decomposed as the corpses outside, and will also emit a foul smell. The corpses in the underground tomb will
It is like being dried in the air, gradually drying up, the muscles disappear, turning into skin and bones, and finally even the skin disappears. In this process, no smell will be emitted.
When the skin and flesh are gone and only a skeleton is left, special people will come and collect it, transport it to the front tomb, and stack it neatly to form the skull wall they see.
According to Arauno, there are three types of underground tombs. The first type is composed of skeletons and is called the skull wall. The second type is composed of skinny mummies and is called the mummy forest. The third type is just now.
Not long after the burial, the body was waiting to be "dried".
The underground tomb is very large, and there seems to be space energy inside. It is much larger than the prayer cemetery outside. The passages extend in all directions and there are many tombs. If you really want to wander inside, it may take a long time.
After visiting the Mummy Forest, Li Ziyu lost interest in continuing and planned to visit the Temple of the Dead.
The Prayer Cemetery gave Li Ziyu a surprise, as did the Temple of the Dead. The Temple of the Dead in Budapest is simply a huge palace, and its level of luxury can rival that of the Leon Palace.
People were constantly coming in and out of the temple, people going to pray.
They may not necessarily believe in anything, they just simply pray, just like those who went to temples in previous lives. They may not really believe in gods and Buddhas, but when they have wishes or something they can't handle, they like to go and pray for comfort.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Such people can not contribute much power of faith. They are not even believers of the undead. The more sincere people contribute, the less power of faith they can contribute.
The more, vice versa.
Although each person's contribution is small, the number of people cannot be supported, and the quality is not enough. Quantity is enough, and a sufficient number of people can also allow the Temple of the Dead to gain a lot of power of faith. Over time, it will develop into
What it looks like now.
"You are very honest and did not deceive me. I am very satisfied." Looking at the Temple of the Dead in Budapest, Li Ziyu praised.
"Yes, this is what we should do, and it is not worthy of praise." Arauño bowed in fear.
"Let's go, let's see this temple of the dead." Li Ziyu took the lead and walked into the temple of the dead.
This group of people was too conspicuous, especially after someone recognized King Alauno of Leon, a large number of them immediately knelt down.
Li Ziyu passed through the crowd and entered the temple.
As soon as they entered the hall, before they could walk in, they saw a group of people wearing hoods and gray robes coming from a distance like ghosts and stopped in front of them.
The leader took off his hood.
"ah!"
The appearance under the hood frightened Elena, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
I saw that the man was bald, with a black skull mark printed on his forehead, and his skin was gray. His eyes were closed, his eyelids were sewn shut, and his lips and ears were also cut off.
Li Ziyu turned to look at Arauño and asked in confusion, "What crime did he commit and why was he punished like this?"
"No, he is not a sinner." Arauño quickly denied.
Li Ziyu became confused, what is he who is not a sinner, and why he has such virtues if he is not a sinner? It must be too miserable.
Before he could ask again, the miserable-looking man stepped forward and stood in front of Li Ziyu, crossed his hands on his chest, saluted, and said softly, "Great master, you have finally returned here.
, your humble servant has been waiting for your appearance.”
Forehead……
Arauño came to Li Ziyu and whispered, "Master, they are your most loyal servants, they are the priests of the temple."
Holy Corpse Priest?
Li Ziyu remembered that Toronto had told him before that among the several giants in the city were the Holy Corpse Priests, and it seemed that they were the ones.
Since he was a holy corpse priest, how could he be so miserable? His ears and lips were cut off, his eyes were sewn shut, and his tongue was almost lost.
Who is so bold as to dare to attack the priest of the undead?
