Chapter 131: The Dwarven King's Funeral
Yang Chun could only accompany him, listen to his complaints, and explain him from time to time.
As he spoke, Cook fell asleep on the stone table, his complaints turning into staccato sleep.
The elf looked at Cook silently and muttered, "Is this involuntarily?" β
Perhaps! To wear a crown is to bear the weight of the crown. As the heir of the first ancestral mountain, Cook certainly has the responsibility that he must bear.
As soon as he took a blanket to cover Cook, Loya rushed in.
Seeing Cook lying asleep on the stone table and frowning, Loya was distressed and left tears in her eyes.
After becoming Cook's fiancΓ©e, Loya walked into Cook's life, initially just to get to know Cook in full, and now unknowingly falls in love with Cook.
Yang Chun could only see a corner of Cook's daily life, and Luo Ya was deeply moved by Cook's persistence.
Loya also lay on the stone table, quietly watching Cook fall asleep, and combing the corners of his eyebrows with his hands. If only time could freeze in this moment!
Yang Chun walked into the attic with the elf, leaving the yard for the two of them.
The elf flew in front of Yang Chun's eyes and asked, "Brother, is this love?" β
Yang Chun nodded, "Yes!" That's love! β
Yang Chun had bits and pieces of interaction with Gao Rong in his mind, plain and warm, and they came together unconsciously. No one confessed first, and the moment they held hands was destined for a lifetime.
The morning passed unconsciously, and Yang Chun didn't know when Luo Ya and Cook left.
The guards brought lunch, but it obviously didn't meet the elf's appetite, so Yang Chun woke up.
"Brother, help me cut a fruit, I want to eat an apple today!" , the elf pulled Yang Chun's hair and woke Yang Chun up from his sluggish state.
"Good! I'll wash my hands, you wait. Yang Chun got up and prepared to wash his face and be sober.
After lunch, in order not to make trouble for himself and Cook, Yang Chun still did not take a step out of the small courtyard, lying on the stone table and chatting with the elves.
It wasn't until after dinner that Cook came back tired.
"Hey! Annoy me! Cook shouted loudly when he saw Yang Chun.
Yang Chun poured a glass of water and handed it over, and asked casually, "Have you had dinner?" β
Cook nodded and said with a smile: "It's been Loya's cooking for me these days, and it tastes okay!" β
Cook said as he walked a few steps to the bed, and then collapsed directly onto the bed.
"Comfortable! Indescribable comfort! It would be nice to lie like this all the time. β
Cook turned his head to look at Yang Chun and asked, "Tomorrow is the funeral of the Dwarf King, do you want to go?" β
"Are there too many people? If there are too many people, I won't go! Yang Chun didn't want to attract everyone's attention to himself at this time. It's best to slowly forget about yourself.
"I was in charge of the funeral, and few people attended. Everyone was busy suppressing the tribes of the wasteland, or shouting to invade the game world of God's Domain, and they didn't have time to participate. β
Saying that, Cook couldn't help but feel sad for the Dwarf King! The funeral of a king turned out to be like this.
Yang Chun was bored here all day long, and he had long wanted to go out for a walk, so he said, "Okay! Then I'll go too. β
Just go and see the scenery and relax!
Cook nodded, and changed to a comfortable lying position.
Yang Chun still walked over and asked, "You said that after entering the star field through the six-pointed star teleportation array, what should you do next?" β
Cook stuffed his face in the quilt and snorted, "If you don't have the star map of this star field, it's best not to enter the star field, otherwise you will get lost in the star field." Each star in the field has its own trajectory, and we can use these star trajectories to move forward. The function of the star map is to point out the intersecting star trajectories, and after different star trajectories, you can reach the final destination! β
Yang Chun thought about it, it turned out that this was the case, he had three star maps, which could start from the Dwarf God Domain, and lead to the God Domain Game World, Angel God Domain, and Elf God Domain respectively.
The last time the Divine Domain Game World and the Angel Divine Domain had been found, the Elven Divine Domain would talk about it later.
At this time, Cook snorted again: "It is best to enter the star field accompanied by a legendary professional, because there will be stardust storms in the star field from time to time, and it is easy to get lost even if you have a star map." β
Feeling the change in the elf's gaze, Yang Chun whispered, "It's okay!" In the end, I really can't do it, I can ask Cook to take care of ......."
Hearing this, the elf quickly shook his head. Yang Chun didn't say any more.
Glancing back, Cook fell asleep again.
Early the next morning, Cook pulled Yang Chun up from the bed, "Hurry up!" The funeral is about to begin. β
After calling the elf, Yang Chun didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so Yang Chun followed Cook to the cemetery.
Successive dwarven kings were buried in the cemetery on the mountain behind the palace, which was desolate and desolate, and there were no weeds, and there was a mess of sand and rocks.
Sure enough, there are very few people!
The only people who came to the funeral were Cook, Loya, Yang Chun, Elf, and the four coolies.
Cook's commander worked hard and explained awkwardly: "Everyone is afraid of offending my grandfather and them, so they don't dare to come." Because the relationship between the Dwarf King and the Seven Great Ancestral Mountains is not very good. β
Yang Chun shook his head, it's really a cool person! It's sad enough for the dwarf king to get mixed up with this. But you can't trick me before you die!
There was no grand ceremony, only Cook read a sacrificial text. No one cried for him, only four coolies carried the coffin. No one stepped forward to incense him, only the elf folded a paper flower.
The coffin is sealed and the tombstone is erected.
The tombstone is only engraved: Tomb of the Seventh Dwarven King. Not even a surname!
Yang Chun looked up and saw that there were six huge tombs in the distance, which were built by the dwarf kings of the later generation, with a huge scale and magnificent momentum.
But this one in front of me is a small mound!
The funeral was hastily over, and a coolie brought a flask.
Yang Chun asked, "Is this a sacrificial wine?" β
After Cook took the flask, he was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's not wine in it, it's the blood of the dwarven king, this is grandpa's request!" β
Yang Chun frowned and didn't speak, but he couldn't help but think of the sacrifice in the pyramid shrine in his heart.
The sacrificial text mentions that the head of the dwarf king should be used to sacrifice the supreme existence of the pyramid, and the great achievements of the pyramid should be written with the blood of the dwarf king.
Stealing the head of the dwarf king, Yang Chun has no interest in robbing the tomb.
But you can rub a little blood of the dwarven king in this jug.
The elf didn't like the desolate sand and asked, "Shall we go back now?" It's so bleak here. β
Cook said, "I'll take you to see a stone tablet, I think you'll be interested." β
Stele?
Cook led the way in front, and Yang Chun hurriedly followed.
In a low-lying place in the corner of the back hill stands a small stone monument, the edges and corners of which have been weathered and half buried in the earth.
There are two lines of words engraved on the front of the stele, but they are no longer recognizable, and the weathering is too serious.
As for the rest, there is nothing peculiar about it, ordinary!
Yang Chun looked around the stone tablet, not knowing Cook's intention of bringing him here.
Cook looked up at the stele and explained, "This was erected in front of the first dwarven king, and it was originally engraved with two lines of ancient characters, which translated: mortals cannot infringe on divine rights, and the star field cannot obtain eternal life. β
Yang Chun walked over and asked, "And then?" β
"What, then?" Cook asked rhetorically, "Isn't the meaning obvious?" Mortal, theocracy, starfield, eternal life! β
Yang Chun shook his head and said, "Theocracy and immortality are not my pursuit, and I am not interested in these at all. Are you interested? Cook. β
Cook also shook his head, and said, "I think this stele has some kind of connection with the Gate of Eternal Life, so I brought you over to see it!" β
Something to do with the Gate of Eternal Life? Mortals cannot infringe on divine rights, and the star field cannot obtain eternal life.
Cook pointed to the stele and said, "According to records, this stele was specially built by the Dwarven King after the gate of eternal life was closed, so I deduced it. β
Yang Chun walked around the stele again, looked at it carefully, and didn't find any strange places, it was still ordinary!
Could it be that the secret is hidden inside the stone tablet?
Cook saw what Yang Chun was thinking, and said, "This stone tablet was only built by order of the Dwarf King, and it is still a craftsman sent by the Seven Ancestral Mountains, so there is nothing hidden in the body of the stele. β
Yang Chun shook his head, still unable to understand what the connection between this stone tablet and the Gate of Eternal Life was.
But the place where the stone monument was erected is very strange! Not only in the corners of the back hills, but also in the low-lying places in the corners. And the stele is not very high, only two meters, and now the lower half is still buried in the soil!
If it weren't for Cook deliberately leading the way, it would not be easy to find the stele!
Generally speaking, iconic buildings such as stone monuments are built on a high or open place that can be seen at a glance.
Can't figure it out! Perhaps the dwarven king was trying to hide the stele.
After looking at it for a while, everyone lost interest and turned to leave.
Cook said, "I'll take you back to the courtyard first, so that no one will trouble you on the way." β
"Good! I happened to be a little lost. From the inner palace courtyard all the way to the back mountain, passing through many palace gates! It's all confusing me. β
I didn't think it was Cook leading the way when I came, but now that I think about it, I really can't figure out the way back.
The elf sat on Loya's shoulder and followed Loya behind, not knowing what to whisper.
Yang Chun didn't know how to ask Cook for a little dwarf king's blood along the way, because this request was strange! And it's a little inexplicable!
Fortunately, after returning to the small courtyard, Cook did not leave in a hurry, and after putting down the wine jug, he went into the back room to rummage for something.
The elf invites Loya to eat fruit candy and leaves for a while.
Yang Chun immediately took the wine jug, poured a little blood of the dwarf king, hid it, and put the wine jug back in its place.
Yang Chun didn't dare to pour more, just a small wine glass!
