Gravekeepers are a profession that people avoid in Tigues. Part of the reason is due to the characteristics of gravekeepers, but more factors are due to the dangers of gravekeepers. This is a mysterious world.
Corpses are often a resource with a large gap in the mysterious world to some extent.
Therefore, although the salary of tombkeepers has reached the level of the middle class, the disappearance and death rate of an average of 10 people every year still makes tombkeepers one of the top ten high-risk occupations in Tiguet.
In view of this, there is a permanent shortage of gravekeepers in Teague, but the gravekeepers in the southern suburbs of Teague are an exception. Bob Lester, 55, is the only long-term gravekeeper in the southern suburbs of Teague.
I have been working as a tombkeeper for more than thirty years, and I am still single with no parents or descendants.
Several people who know Bob's situation don't quite understand why Bob is like this, but as long as Bob is in the position of the gravekeeper, who has the time to care about this? Maybe he would rather Bob is in this position.
Keep doing it, instead of spending energy recruiting people to fill this unknown position every now and then.
Therefore, Bob's economic situation is not bad. He only needs to support himself with a middle-class salary. It stands to reason that his living standard is not worse than that of some middle-class people. But Bob has always lived in reclusion. For thirty years
The gravekeeper's hut that always guarded him, except for occasional outings, never strayed ten miles away from the cemetery in the southern suburbs.
As night fell, Bob sat in front of the old table in the small house as he went about his day. On the table was an old and torn book. Bob turned over the pages with his withered right hand like a chicken's claw wrapped in leather.
, unlike before, if you look carefully, you will see Bob's right hand shaking slightly.
"Finally we can start." It seems that because he has been affected by the cold air all year round, Bob, who is in his fifties, now looks like he is in his seventies, and the hair on his head has already fallen out.
Glossy.
The broken book in his hand was found by Bob in his family's storage room. At that time, his parents died in an accident, and the house that had been passed down from generation to generation was seized by the bank. Bob took his little savings with him.
, and this mysterious broken book was found and brought out by him at that time.
Bob, who had nothing but his little savings, stayed in a dilapidated hotel for three days. It was these three days that completely changed his destiny. He was shocked by what was described in the mysterious incomplete book, so he
After he spent all his savings, he applied for a job as a tombkeeper. As expected, he took up the job immediately.
Although the cover of the mysterious broken book has long been missing and its name is unknown, Bob gradually learned a lot of secret techniques from the broken book, which confirmed that what was recorded in the book was not false. But it was what really made Bob determined to become a tombkeeper.
In this profession, the last sacrificial ceremony, the Hell Sacrifice, is recorded in the fragmentary book.
The Hell Sacrifice is a ritual of offering sacrifices to the great will in hell. If the sacrifice is successful, the sacrificer can gain powerful power from the underworld and have a chance of becoming an immortal species. This is a very ancient sacrificial ritual.
Naturally, Bob's knowledge did not know this, but after verifying many secrets recorded in the broken books, Bob was convinced of the rituals of the underworld sacrifice.
Just to complete this ancient sacrifice, the price you need to pay is huge, that is, a large number of corpses.
How massive? Let’s put it this way, considering the corpses that Bob has stolen from cemeteries over the past thirty years and preserved with secret techniques, they have accumulated so far that they have not yet met the demand for corpses. From this, it is not difficult to see why.
The massive amount of corpses needed has reached an incredible level.
As for letting Bob kill people, he would never do it, not because he couldn't, but because he didn't dare. After so many years, Bob Lester has also gained the strength of a formal professional, but he has had a fatal flaw since he was a child.
, this shortcoming was clear to him when he was very young, that is, timidity, not ordinary timidity, but very, very timid. This also led Bob to prefer to be an unknown tombkeeper when planning the Pluto Festival.
People rely on accumulated money to buy materials and use secret techniques to preserve stolen corpses. But perhaps it is for this reason that Bob’s decades-long anomalies have not been discovered. Prudence, caution, and timidity,
After thirty years of fermentation, it has been deeply engraved in Bob's bones. Having said that, if Bob really had the courage to kill people to obtain corpses, then his result might be that he went to the underworld early, instead of like now
He has been a gravekeeper for more than thirty years.
Originally, in order to meet the requirements of the Hades Festival, Bob estimated that he would have to endure at least five years of collecting corpses. However, after the strike in May three months ago, Bob's opportunity came, and a large number of unidentified corpses appeared.
The corpse was thrown in front of him, and he suddenly realized that his plan seemed to be implemented immediately, and he was only one step away from the success of the Hell Festival.
After browsing through the familiar broken book in his hand again, Bob pressed a mechanism in the cabin, and a dark passage deep underground appeared in front of him.
At the same time, Quins, who returned to the branch, couldn't wait to lock himself in the basement.
Inside the psychic crystal, Quins stood in front of the furnace of all things. The witchcraft card "Furnace of All Things" was designed to smelt all things. It looked like a transparent furnace with a glass belly, with a tall chimney sticking out from the top.
There is an opening that looks like a mouth above the belly. Through the transparent furnace, you can see Kaling Lu Lu with her long bright red hair dancing happily in the furnace.
Seeing Quins' arrival, Kaling Lulu rushed out of the furnace with a whoosh and jumped onto Quins' shoulders. At the same time, her bright red burning long hair instantly turned orange-red, orange-red, representing Lulu.
My mood is very happy and joyful.
Kaling Lulu is a fire element fairy. She usually likes to stay in the melting pot of all things and enjoy herself. Among the eight Kalings, she is the same as the flower fairy Alice. Of course, this
There is also a reason why Kaling's current intelligence is not high.
After teasing Lulu for a moment, Quins took out the sealing card containing the copper essence and other materials, crushed it gently, and a thousand pounds of four-refined copper essence and nine boxes appeared in front of Quins.
After putting away the box, Quins patted Lulu on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's get started."
Lulu's eyes lit up, and her long orange-red hair turned into white and blue. With a whoosh, her body returned to the furnace. The closed mouth on the furnace also slowly opened.
"It's begun!" Quins' eyes flashed, and copper ingots were stuffed into his hands one by one. After a while, a thousand copper ingots all entered the furnace.
In the furnace, the flames were blazing, burning without firewood, but naturally. A thousand copper ingots had already turned into copper juice under the flames and merged into one. Lulu happily danced around the copper juice, each time dancing around the flames
In one circle, the color of the flame of the refining copper juice changes once, from orange to yellow to white to cyan to purple. The change of the flame changes with the change of Lulu's burning hair.
When the flame turns orange, the copper juice remains unchanged. When it turns yellow, one-half of the large ball of copper juice vaporizes instantly. The black curls are discharged out of the chimney, and the flame turns white, and another half
A piece of copper juice is vaporized, and in this way, the flame continues to rise, reaching cyan, blue and even purple. Nine-tenths of the large ball of copper juice has been gone. At this time, the copper juice is burning like dazzling gold, shining brightly.
.
Quins nodded with satisfaction. The furnace of all things was indeed worthy. At this time, the nearly 30 pounds of copper juice in front of him had reached the height of the ninth level, which was the pinnacle of level 0 materials. He wanted to refine it further and reach the level 1 legend.
The level of copper spirit is impossible due to the current level characteristics of the furnace of all things.
At this time, Kalinglu's hair was purple. After dancing a few times and finding that the copper juice could no longer be refined, she became anxious and danced again and again, but it had no effect. At that time, Kalinglu's long hair slowly transformed into nothing.
Color, the scorching flames in the furnace also began to fade away from purple, turning into a vaguely transparent color. It was Quins who activated the card's ability, Golden Flame.
Super golden flame, the special flame of the furnace, can be used to extract materials up to the card level + 1, and has a chance to extract special materials.
As if encountering something terrifying, the scorching golden copper juice suspended above the transparent flame changed under the burning of the transparent flame. The copper juice shrank rapidly, and the color of the surface of the copper juice gradually faded away from the shiny golden color.
It turned into a red color. When the copper juice almost shrank to a volume of about two pounds, all the golden color faded away. Under Quines' thoughts, the red copper juice turned into two 1-pound copper ingots, which were spit out from his mouth.
came out.
Quins laughed. He knew that his idea was successful. He had really refined the first-level legendary copper essence.
Just thinking that 1,000 pounds of fourth-level copper essence was only used to produce two pounds of first-level copper essence, he couldn't help but feel a headache secretly. In other words, 50 gold coins were only exchanged for 2 pounds of first-level copper essence. According to the advanced level,
A level 0 card requires 1 pound of level 1 bronze. The funds he needs to spend on advanced cards are 200 pounds of basic materials and 50 pounds of auxiliary materials.
Materials. It is not difficult to imagine that if he wants to advance more cards in the future, he will need more funds. The resources used in this area are really unimaginable. Although the refining of level 1 copper essence can allow him to
To make up for some resources, he still knew the truth behind Mu Xiu Yu Lin. Before he was truly strong, selling level 1 copper spirits could only be a small-scale behavior.
After quickly calculating in his mind the approximate cost that would be needed in the future, Quins pressed his thoughts and watched the furnace of all things in front of him that had completed its mission turn into cards and be exiled to Chaos.
With two ingots of level 1 copper essence and the auxiliary materials already prepared, Quins decided which two sorcery cards to upgrade without much thought.
In Quines' heart, among all the witchcraft cards, Suigu Library will always be at the top of his mind. If all other factors are eliminated, advancing to Suigu Library will always be his first choice.
.But if you want to quickly advance all the witchcraft cards, then as mentioned before, the furnace of all things is the first choice. Because after upgrading to the furnace of all things at level 1, you can easily refine the level 1 copper essence.
There is no need to use the golden flame that comes only once a month.
But now that he has the option of upgrading two sorcery cards, Quines doesn't have to worry about anything. The two sorcery cards that can be advanced are naturally the Suigu Library and the Forge of All Things.
