Chapter 39: The Truth That Gets Closer

From the description of the old priest Merrill, Silas learned that there was an old grave keeper on the west side of the town.

A little greedy for money.

It's just one day. The townspeople wondered why, for so many days, they hadn't seen the grave keepers come to the town to buy some things for everyday use.

There were a few daring townspeople who arrived at the grave keeper's hut.

only to find that he was long gone.

The house was a mess, everything was on the ground.

It's like a thief in the house, and the house is full of signs of rummaging.

Of course, the old priest Merrill wasn't sure that the bold townsfolk had turned it over. Or is it something else.

Anyway, by the time he got there, the room would already look like that.

As for why he went to that place.

It's because of the inhabitants of the town. Rather than believing that the grave keeper left on his own, he believed even more that he was captured by monsters.

"So, what did you find?" Lasis asked. He now felt that the grave keeper must have some problems.

Old Father Merrill struggled to recall the scene. However, because time has passed. Presumably, he found something at the time. But I can't remember.

After all, it was not noticed at the time. Didn't think about it that way.

The old priest, Merrill, told Lassis the truth that he had not noticed anything at the time.

After all, I didn't think about it that much at the time.

The grave keeper's place is far from the town.

After waiting for a while, they came to this place.

The sky was even more gloomy.

As you can see, this place has long been abandoned.

Overgrown with weeds and thorns.

There are even vines on the door frames of the huts.

The roof of the house had partially collapsed.

As you can see, no one has been here for a long time.

Soon the place was cleaned up.

Although a long time has passed, some traces of that time can still be barely seen.

Lacis and Old Father Merrill squeezed into the small hut.

There were still cobwebs hanging from the corners of the house.

It looks like an ordinary abandoned house.

Lasis crouched on the ground and picked up the kerosene lamp on the ground, which was half in the mud.

Then, place it on top of the table on the side.

The house looks cluttered though.

But what works for them is not.

They exited the house.

There was no paper in it that Jesse's man had said.

There is no gain.

Lasis was a little unwilling.

Another clue is broken.

By the way, Lasis remembered the Holy Cross. The old priest Merrill said he had put it in with his own hands.

Well, now this cross is out there, and it's still in the Dark Order.

Does it mean the sudden disappearance of the grave keeper, and it has something to do with the Dark Order?

There must be a connection between this.

Lasis told the old priest his guess.

The old priest Merrill also had this premonition.

The old man's graveyard also happened to be in the cemetery under the care of the grave keeper

Now it seems, these things at that time. There is definitely a connection. It's a pity that he didn't find out at the time.

The old priest Merrill searched several times, and finally found the place where the old man was buried in the corner of the cemetery.

As you can see, no one has been here for a long time.

The tombstone shattered into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Lasis gestured to the left and right.

Someone stepped forward and moved the place.

The old priest Merrill tried to stop it, but put his hand down again. He also wanted to see if his guess was true.

I could only close my eyes tightly, bow my head and whisper a prayer in silence. I hope to be forgiven by Gus Ronnie, and I hope that it will not disturb his rest in the kingdom of God.

Soon, the ground was dug up.

The coffin inside was revealed.

Lasis and the old priest gathered around. It's just that Lasis keenly noticed that the holy nail on it was missing, and the coffin was moved.

When I opened it, sure enough, there was no one inside, it was empty.

"No one?" The old priest Merrill hurried over, it was empty.

No way, the old man was the one he helped to do.

This....

And Lasis looked carefully at the traces above, and the saint was being pried from the outside. It looks like a long time ago.

So, did the grave keeper find something?

There was nothing in it.

It's just that there is a bone with pale golden veins inside, which is obviously something that can only exist after the death of a priest in his 40s and 50s.

This old man must be a senior of the church.

Lassis carefully placed the bone in a box.

Then put it away.

In his heart, he already has an understanding of things. It must have something to do with this church predecessor named Gus Ronnie.

It now appears that the Church's research on the Curse of Blood was leaked from here.

Then the body of this senior was also taken away by the Dark Order.

And the grave keeper may have discovered something at the time.

Quietly dealt with by the Dark Order.

Unexpectedly, nothing was found in the Dark Order stronghold, but there was a bigger discovery in the town.

Restore the place well.

The old priest, Merrill, recited the prayer.

The rain began to fall again.

Old Father Merrill felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He didn't expect this to happen.

Although Lacis of the Inquisition didn't tell him anything, he guessed something.

The Dark Order near the town must have something to do with Gus Ronnie. However, the old priest could not figure out another problem.

Old Gus has been in the town for a long time, but he is in better health, and the rest of the rest is no different from ordinary old people.

Even living in the town for many years, he didn't know Gus Ronnie's true identity, thinking that he was an ordinary old man.

But what do those people of the Dark Order know?

But now there is no one to tell the old priest Merrill the answer to this question.

Even the few bold townspeople who discovered it are no longer in town.

Some went outside, but they didn't come back. Some have moved their families to a small town next to the Gran Forest, where there are more adventurers.

At the time, he didn't care either.

Soon everyone was back at the church in the town.

By this time it was already raining heavily.

The old priest, Merrill, wanted to keep Lasis and the other clergy sheltered from the rain in the church.

However, he was rejected by Silas.

They only want to take shelter from the rain in front of the church, and they are not willing to enter the church.

Despite the fact that the old priest Merrill repeatedly stated that he did not care, they had mud on their shoes.

But Silas: They just don't want to.

It's just that when the old priest Merrill is about to go to the back.

Lassis suddenly stopped him.
