228. Wake up, your mom is gone.
The process of dissection and analysis continued, and in order to prevent Elena from continuing to drool while watching the two corpses, Lu Cheng took the initiative to invite Elena to continue the date. *Say* with *dream* small*
The venue where the two will go on their next date is... Located in the royal tombs beneath the castle.
"Isn't there a tradition of worshipping the dead in your country?"
Lu Cheng illuminated the interior of the mausoleum with a flashlight in his hand, and the walls of the mausoleum were inlaid with some shiny stones, and the visibility was probably still so low that normal people could not see the surroundings clearly.
"I don't think so, but I still sneak here often to bring a few bouquets of flowers to my mother."
Elena was very familiar with the route of the royal tomb, and she took the lead so that the city would not get lost in the sprawling mausoleum.
"You come often?" Lu Cheng took a flashlight and shone it around, this mausoleum was not built all at once, it seems to be an underground mausoleum that has been expanding since the founding of the country.
There are all kinds of dry bones with cobwebs all around, and I don't know if they are the bones of Elena's ancestor.
"I'll come and see it when I'm not happy, and I don't come often." Elena said.
Even if you don't come often, this isn't the place for a little girl to come when she's upset, right?
Before Lu Cheng could complain, Elena had already stopped in front of a sarcophagus.
"Mother, I brought him." Elena first whispered to the sarcophagus, then turned to Lu Cheng and introduced her mother's coffin, "This is where my mother is buried." ”
"Your previous sentence sounded a bit oozing, forget it......"
Lu Cheng walked to Elena's side and shone the light of the flashlight on the sarcophagus.
The old king still had feelings for Elena's mother during his lifetime, as can be seen from this exquisite sarcophagus full of reliefs.
There are many withered flowers underneath the sarcophagus, and judging by the number of flowers, Elena did often run to this underground mausoleum.
Maybe after her mother's death, she would hide here to relax when she encountered something unhappy?
"My mother doesn't have any burial goods, and the relics were also burned when the Blood Crystal Beast invaded, can you really find any clues here?" Elena asked.
"If you allow me to lift the coffin board, I might find it." Lu Cheng glanced at the ring on Elena's hand and said.
Elena's current dragonization situation is still relatively stable, except for the increase in food consumption by five or six times, Elena does not see any other problems.
But just now, when Elena had an appetite for the blood crystals of the Blood Crystal Beast, Lu Cheng felt that her dragonization symptoms might be... It won't be that simple.
The research base has also analyzed Elena's cell tissue, but no useful conclusions have been reached so far, and it may take some time for Lu Cheng to commission an investigation by the Secret Magic Society.
After learning from Elena that her mother was buried under the castle, Lu Cheng stopped by to visit Elena's own mother.
"Elena, have you ever lifted your mother's coffin board before?" When Lu Cheng observed the perimeter of the sarcophagus, he noticed that there was something unusual on the traces of the sarcophagus.
The sarcophagus has much less dust between the coffin plate joints than the one covered above the coffin board.
This suggests that someone has lifted the coffin board of Elena's mother, or... Elena's mother directly lifted the coffin board and ran away?
"No, I... When I was a kid, I couldn't push the stones on it at all. Elena said with some grievances.
Can't push? Have you tried it? Girl, do you even dare to lift your mother's coffin board?
"And now?"
After Lu Cheng walked into the sarcophagus, he was convinced of his guess, that is, this sarcophagus had been moved, and the time may have been half a year or even earlier.
"It should be able to push now!" Elena said that her hands were already on the edge of the sarcophagus, but she was electrocuted back in the next second, "Lucheng!" It would make my mother very upset to do so! ”
"If your mother was really lying in this coffin, she might have blown up a year ago or half a year ago."
Lu Cheng knew the reason why Elena was so scared, there was a 'soul' in this world, Lu Cheng listened to the necromancer of the secret puja and said that the 'creature' of the resentful spirit also existed in this world, and even if Lu Cheng didn't believe it, she could show Lu Cheng a wave of her own ghost dogs when she went back.
The premise of the existence of the soul represents the mausoleum... Perhaps the ancestors of the Scarre royal family were watching Elena lift her own mother's coffin board.
"Why?"
"The seal of this sarcophagus has traces of someone having moved, and the sarcophagus was opened a long time ago." Lu Cheng said, pointing to the dust stains in the gaps.
"Opened... Be... Who is it? Elena had already pulled up her sleeves at this moment and made a gesture of preparing to beat someone.
Elena is rarely angry, for example, the marmot deliberately provokes her, and Elena is completely unaware of it, but when it comes to her mother, Elena will soon enter a state of fried-hair.
Her respect for her mother is absolute.
"I don't know, the inside of the sarcophagus is very likely to have been destroyed, and I think it is necessary to open it to confirm the inside." Lu Cheng said.
"For the sake of my mother's peace, I have to confirm it."
Elena struggled for a long time, but still put her hands on the edge of the sarcophagus, and now Elena has the ability to push her own mother's coffin board.
Lu Cheng knew that his strength was not as strong as Elena's, but in order to prevent Elena's strength from being too strong and destroying this 'artifact', Lu Cheng walked to the other side and put it on the edge of the coffin.
With a large amount of dust raised, the sarcophagus was slowly pushed open by Elena.
She looked into the inside of the coffin... But not to mention her mother's bones, there wasn't even a funeral item, and the inside of the sarcophagus was as empty as Lu Cheng expected.
"Thief... Tomb robbers? Elena was stunned, her hands clenched, and her emotions were vaguely on the verge of collapse.
"Elena! Elena! Calm down, think about your mother is buried in this sarcophagus? ”
Lu Cheng came to her side and took her hand, using the warmth of his palm to pull Elena back from the brink of collapse.
"Well, I saw my mother lying here with my own eyes, and then she was moved here." Elena's hand held her arm, and she was so embarrassed that she curled up into Lu Cheng's arms, "Mother, she ......"
"Probably not a grave robber." Lu Cheng didn't mind giving Elena a shoulder to lean on at this time, but after opening the coffin, the traces under the coffin board made Lu Cheng believe that this magical world even existed.
Or rather... Elena's mother didn't die at all.
Under the coffin board was a crack, a scratch made of many bloods.
Lu Cheng thought that it was Elena's mother who suddenly woke up in the sarcophagus, and after leaving, he covered his coffin board.
"It's possible that your mother is still alive." Lu Cheng whispered the news that Elena might ruin her worldview.
