When the old man raised his head and came to his senses, he had already arrived outside the iron gate of Lilina's mansion, and he could feel a powerful presence inside.
"I have something to ask of you, can we meet and talk?" the old man said in his voice.
He kept his posture very low. Although he was nearly a hundred years old, age was meaningless in the face of strength.
A brief silence.
The iron door opened automatically, and a voice came from inside the house: "Come in."
The old man was slightly stunned. It was a man's voice, not a girl's voice as he imagined. But this is understandable. He didn't know the existence of Esther. When the Scutts were buried, only two people went there.
It's just Lilina.
Without thinking much, the old man walked in.
When they came to the house, the door of the mansion was opened. At this time, Esther was standing behind the door looking at the old man, with a look in his eyes.
"Gravekeeper?" Esther's tone was a little strange. He didn't understand what these people who liked to keep company with corpses were doing here.
"As you can see, I am a tombkeeper. I took the liberty to visit you today because I want to ask you a favor." The old man used honorifics and bowed down.
After Esther thought for a while, he said: "This should be our first official meeting, and I don't intend to make it unpleasant. Come in." After that, he invited the tombkeeper into the room.
In the entire magical world, gravekeepers cannot be said to be popular existences, but they are definitely admirable existences. They protect the bodies of the deceased from being invaded by evil spirits. They wait for the bodies of the deceased to return to the earth.
Guarding a part of the reincarnation of the world.
They are a noble clan and a respected clan.
When the Scutts were buried, Esther had already sensed the existence of the tombkeepers in the cemetery, but he did not say anything. Most of the tombkeepers were people of good character. The bodies of the Scutts could be buried in the cemetery.
Being in a gravekeeper's cemetery can be considered a blessing.
Gravekeepers are admirable beings in the entire magical world, but only the vampires don't have that respect.
The old man also understands this. How can a clan that claims to be immortal have respect for a clan that protects the dead?
"If you have something to say, please tell me."
Afterwards, the old man told Esther the whole story.

"Damn it!" Albert slammed the door and walked out.
He was invited out by two of his subordinates. It could be said that he was in a very unhappy situation. He came all the way and was rejected. It was really difficult to relieve his anger.
"I usually talk nice, but at the critical moment, everyone turns into a coward. It's a shame that I am the biggest gangster in the East District!" Albert said angrily.
In fact, before coming to the East District, he had already visited the gangsters in Westport, but he got the same answer.
"What do you mean you've been more peaceful lately? Why don't you usually see you calmer?"
Although Albert said so, he vaguely felt something was wrong. These guys are not people who are afraid of trouble. As long as the benefits are enough, they will never be idle. And now they are rejecting him one by one, it should be out of trouble.
What happened.
However, that batch of goods was too important for him to hide it casually. If he couldn't find a way, he would have to trouble his father in the end.
"It's really troublesome."
"Sir." Seeing Albert coming out, one of his men said respectfully.
"Go back for the time being and plan for the long term." Albert said to his men, got into the car and drove away.
While passing by the commercial street, Albert's eyes suddenly glanced at the collapsed bar.
"parking."
The black car quickly stopped on the side of the road, and Albert opened the door and walked out.
This bar collapsed in an earthquake a week ago. Although geological experts said that the movement of continental plates caused the eruption of submarine volcanoes and the final earthquake, Albert knew that they were just words to appease the people. His father was a member of Parliament.
, how could he not know those routines?
The actual situation was concealed.
"How much do you know about this?" Albert asked the subordinates behind him.
"Yes, it was said that this building collapsed due to the unstable foundation caused by the earthquake, but our informant at the police station mentioned that he saw a man in the collapsed house." The subordinate said.
"A man? Where is that man?" Albert asked.
"I don't know." The subordinate shook his head, "Then he disappeared into thin air in front of more than a dozen police officers.
"Disappeared out of thin air?" Albert repeated with a frown.
It's not magic. How could a living person disappear in the eyes of dozens of policemen?
"Sir, few people within the police station know about this matter. We know because the people placed within the police station happened to participate in that operation."
"Very good." Albert said, "Let that person come to see me."
"Okay sir."
Albert should have some ideas, but as a subordinate, he would not ask any questions. This is what a good subordinate should do.
At the same time, on the other side of the city, a rickety body was hidden in the sewer. The sewers in the UK are always so spacious. Apart from some weird odors and some dampness, it is really a good place to hide, but this kind of
is more appropriate.
"Jiejiejie, a batch of excellent ghost lantern grass, perfect blending materials."
It traveled all over Britain to create two satisfactory Stitch Beasts, and now, with this batch of ghost-cage lanterns, it can blend the two Stitch Beasts together to create the most powerful artificial creature.
"It really takes no effort at all."
"How wonderful, I can't wait to see your perfect appearance." As it spoke, the two iron chains extending from its back were pulled up, rubbing against the ground and making a loud sound, which was extremely harsh.
"However, don't worry yet. To become truly perfect, you still need a material." It sneered.
"The corpse of the gravekeeper."
What it wants is the corpse of the tomb keeper. It has traveled across half of the country and risked its life to come to this place just for the corpse of the tomb keeper. It can be said that in order to complete its work, it will do anything.
Regardless of the cost and means, even if you risk your life, you must achieve your goal.
"However, I can't go out for the time being. It's time for me to take action after some guys in the city can't help it anymore."
Now, it's just a waiting process. Fudo will definitely keep an eye on the demons that appear in this city. Once the current deadlock is broken and Fudo looks away, he will kill the old man and get the role of the tombkeeper.
