Chapter 572 The gravekeeper of Blackmoya Cemetery is no longer the past
——Dreams are often surrounded by fragrance.
It was the smell of softly boiled potatoes. In the long-lasting memories, it felt like a lifetime ago.
That was a long time ago than ten years ago.
At that time, mashed potatoes were a frequent visitor to her family's dining table. Although she had long been tired of eating mashed potatoes and often complained about it, her father spent most of the time at home cooking, and he was more doting than her mother.
So I started to think hard when cooking, and even went to the merchants to order easy-to-preserve Chinese and Japanese ingredients.
The two of them often looked at the second-hand recipes and studied how to cook them together, such as adding curry and chili to mashed potatoes.
Gray was walking in nothingness, surrounded by illusory reflections. Not far away, two figures, one tall and one short, were standing in front of the kitchen counter. A beautiful young woman was sitting on a chair behind, knitting in her hands.
Wearing a sweater, happy laughter surrounded her ears, making her a little lost in thought.
She was still very short at that time, and she still had to step on a stool to reach the kitchen counter. She still remembers that she and her father once walked around the house in circles because of a dish that was so spicy, which made her mother laugh.
Every day is spent like this, and occasionally my mother will cook to show off her cooking skills, but my mother's cooking skills are really not very good, even the mashed potatoes have the taste of burnt lake.
——Until that day, my father left forever.
My mother also became silent a lot, and the smile on her face became a rare thing, but she still touched herself lovingly.
The mashed potatoes no longer had the flavor of Jiaohu, and the taste was much better. For some reason, she still preferred the mashed potatoes that had the flavor of Jiaohu.
It was a long time ago that the body of King Arthur was revered by the villagers, and even eating and sleeping were managed one by one.
The smile returned to her mother's face. From that day on, she strictly managed herself, just like a puppet. She made several protests, but they all fell into disgrace.
After that, I just endured it all silently.
All of this was my fault. It was my fault that I turned into a body that would be revered by my parents and villagers. Without such changes, my mother would not be like this.
Therefore, after being selected by Biersak as the tombkeeper and being able to enter and exit the cemetery, he devoted himself to this job as much as possible.
Although I was so afraid of the dead, it was still better than being worshiped by the living. When faced with the spirits that appeared regularly, I was timid from the bottom of my heart, but at the same time I felt a certain sense of peace of mind.
Because death is so silent, it is much better and more at ease than now. Even if you become the dead and become one of them, it will definitely be much better than living in this village now.
As for his own ending, I'm afraid he will just become one of those dead.
Grandma often warns herself that it is the highest honor to dedicate her body to the Eternal King, but she has no feelings about it.
But since the eternal king needs his body, let her take it away and join the ranks of the dead. In this way, both of them have realized their ideals.
Even if a person like me dies, no one will care, and no one will be sad about it.
Then let yourself lie quietly on the ground and enjoy the silence.
But why does thinking about this bring sadness and loneliness into my heart?
It is obviously your wish to die, shouldn't you be happy when your wish comes true?
cannot understand,
can't understand,

"Well………"
Gray slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was not the familiar ceiling, but an unfamiliar narrow space. His body was jolting slightly, and his ears were filled with noisy sounds. It was not his own.
A secure bed.
"You're awake. You slept really long this time."
A slightly familiar voice sounded in her ears. Gray raised her head and saw a charming and beautiful face.
"Miss Aozaki——?!"
She suddenly sat up and realized that she had been resting on Miss Aozaki Aoko's thigh.
Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that she found herself in a long and moving space. Through the huge transparent glass, she could see the scenery outside rapidly regressing.
If I guessed correctly, this should be a means of transportation called a train. I have read about it in books.
"Why, why am I here?"
She rubbed her head, feeling a little dizzy, then suddenly thought of something, and subconsciously touched the right side of her coat, but unexpectedly found nothing.
Gray's face suddenly lost its color and turned pale.
"Are you looking for Yade? Where is he?"
Aozaki Aoko seemed to see what Gray was thinking, and pointed her finger in the direction of the table next to her.
She quickly looked in that direction and saw an exquisite birdcage-like decoration containing a cube the size of an adult's fist.
"Hehehehehe—Chronic Gray..."
The surface of the cube has veins similar to facial features, and these veins move to form an "expression"-like pattern.
Its sound is extremely sharp, and it sounds somewhat mechanical, like metal pieces rubbing against each other.
This is Yade, the inherited magic gift of the Gravekeeper of Brakmoya. However, compared with ordinary magic gifts, this gift has a pseudo-spiritual body inside, possesses human-like intelligence, and can think and speak.
.
In these years, Ad is Gray's only friend.
Seeing that Yard was still there, Gray was relieved, picked up Yard in two steps, and held him tightly in her arms.
"Ah ah ah - let me go quickly, I'm going to be crushed by such a hard embrace!"
"Yard——!"
Gray's face turned red, and the emotion in her heart disappeared instantly. She lifted the cage with one hand and shook it violently.
"Young, are you awake already? I feel relieved to see you so energetic."
The carriage door was opened, and another familiar person walked in. Gray put away Yade and lowered his eyes.
"Mr. Mikael."
"Hahaha, there's no need to be so serious. After all, I'm not a devil."
Mikael smiled and waved his hand, then sat next to Gray,
"How about some dessert? You must be very hungry now. Let's eat something to cope with it. When we arrive in London later, there will be a sumptuous dinner waiting for us."
"London……"
After hearing what Mikael said, Gray reacted, because too many things happened at once, so she did not react immediately.
"Mr. Mikael, I..."
"You mean why you are here."
Mikael seemed to see through the doubts in Gray's mind, then paused and continued with a smile.
"Because someone asked me and Qingzi to take you out of that village, far away from there, and never go back again."
