Chapter 42: The Rest of the Dead continued

The ground began to shake as the sound of "buzzing" gears collided, and the huge mechanical arm easily shattered the ruins and began to clean up the ruins left behind in the village of Sit.

"What are you doing, Lance!" a soft cry drowned out by the cacophony of machinery.

"Leave him alone, Lancy, I'll take you around. ”

"Okay!"

Holding her little hand, Sheena looked at the figure that was turning back and forth in the ruins, this hateful creature had been like this since he came back, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Sister Sheena, aren't we going?"

"Let's go. ”

..........................................

It was nearly dusk, and the blackened soil was softer than expected, and a shovel could easily pick up a large chunk.

Lance had heard of a strange and powerful organization known as the Resters, a group of people who specialized in the resting of the dead.

They wandered not for money or fame, and tried their best to rest every ghost they saw.

Some people say that they are stupid, but more because they are confused and puzzled by their behavior.

Death and life are the harshest opposites, and when you touch death, you will inevitably be infected with its breath, and if you do this for a long time, it will be extremely fatal to a living being.

Lance felt that they were a respectable bunch, and now he was beginning to somewhat agree with them.

After wiping the sweat, I finally saw the kind yellow soil.

"Where's Lancy?"

"I'm tired of playing and just fell asleep. ”

Crystal blue eyes looked at Lance, who was digging a pit, "What are you doing here?"

"Can't you see that?"

"What?"

"I'm digging a hole. ”

The bulging cheeks seemed to complain that Lance didn't understand what she meant. Sheena repeated, "I mean, what are you digging this hole for?"

"You'll know when you're done, if it's okay, don't bother me, and remember to call me Lord Lord. ”

"You ............"

Angrily sat on the gravel on the side, staring at Lance with big eyes and digging shovel by shovel, waiting for the results at the same time, it seemed that because of the physical strength began to decline, the lower and lower efficiency made her outrageous, when will this be dug.

Is it so troublesome to dig a pit?

What a strange guy.

The corners of his mouth gradually floated, and he didn't know what bad thoughts popped up in his head.

The sword was plunged into the earth, and a rich stream of red magic flowed through it into the ground.

Armor Piercing!

"Boom!"

The explosion sent the soil flying and a large part of it fell into the pit that Lance had dug.

"Oh, my lord, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. The look on his little face that struggled to suppress a smile made it hard to believe the apology.

With a large chunk of dirt on her head, Lance's dark face stimulated her smile even more.

"I've dug the pit for you, now you can tell me. ”

Sheena's pit is much bigger than Lance's.

"Humph!"

The rare little emotions did not stop the movement of his hands, and Lance buried his head and no longer paid attention to this annoying princess.

The momentary pride soon stopped.

Really a strange person.

"What are you doing, Lord Lord?" it was Anno who was attracted by the sound of the explosion.

"Dig a pit, he said it himself. Sheena explained.

Puzzled, his gaze fell on the expanding pit, and some familiar behavior made him seem to understand what Lance meant.

"I'll help you. ”

Sheena stared blankly at the two men doing this inexplicable thing.

The shallow experience can't help but give rise to a deep thought.

Men, are they all such strange creatures?

Under the gray night, the excavated earth piled up a high bag of dirt.

The two men in the pit stopped.

Is it finally done?

One small object after another was placed, as if they were facing the souls of the dead.

A note, a colored corner, a flask with a hole, a bow with no bowstring, and so on, quickly filled the bottom of the pit and refilled it.

With the muffled chant was a heavier heart, and the names and their experiences were recounted, foreign to Sheena and Anno, but to Lance, it was the most difficult weight to resist.

Speaking of those who have gone is perhaps more painful than facing their departure.

"Death will not be the end of life. ”

"May the departed rest in peace. ”

As the ceremony ended, the wind rose, and from the ruins rose one ball after another, the bright light reflected in the bright red pupils, and Lance could clearly see that they were all familiar figures, Uncle Locke, Granny Elsie, Uncle Merry..................

Rise into the sky and disappear into the distant darkness.

A ball of light emerged from Lance's body, turning into a figure beside him, caressing his face.

There is no touch, this is the gap between the unreal and the real.

"Rest in peace.................. Sri . The most hidden words in my heart murmured.

The figure dissipated, and disappeared in the gaze that could no longer remain calm.

This is the rest of the dead.

"Give. ”

Sheena handed Lance a piece of paper.

"Thanks, but, no. ”

"I............ Sorry.................."

She didn't know that Lance was doing this, and the guilty look was still blaming herself for the previous trouble.

After a long sigh, there was a heavy feeling of returning to reality again, but compared to before, it was much easier, burying not only the past, but also the guilt that had always existed in his heart.

Looking at the big hole that Sheena blew up, her eyes flashed, "If you really want to apologize, then do something for me." ”

"Say it, I promise it's done. ”

"Let's rest today, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Good. ”

A stone monument was erected on top of the filled pit, with the names of everyone in the village of Sit inscribed on it.

Anno looked at the stone tablet, a little puzzled, "Lord Lord, is there one missing from this?" ”

"Uh-huh............"

"That's not going to work, how can you ignore that adult. ”

The tip of the sword moved quickly, and two words were engraved at the end, Sri.

"Look, that's it. ”

"yes, maybe I forgot to engrave it. Looking at those two words, Lance said with a smile.
