It was a swarthy, palm-sized miniature tombstone, and Barrett took it out of the spatial ring and held it in the palm of his hand.

The surface of the tombstone is smooth and deep, with a slight chill that can sting the palm of the hand. It was not made of marble, but it was not obsidian or onyx, and with Barrit's knowledge, he could not tell the material of the tombstone.

On the front of the tombstone are written several lines of small letters, which read: "Little Eve: June 12, 343 - July 3, 351"

Originally, Barrett thought that this small tombstone was carried by Erlund in memory of one of his relatives or friends, but now it seems that this is not the case.

This year is supposed to be 687 in the New Magical Calendar, if Barrett remembers correctly. There was obviously a gap of more than three hundred years between 687 and 351, so it is unlikely that this 'little Eve' could be a relative of Erund. And a little girl who is only 8 or 9 years old (Barrett guessed from the name) will obviously not be the ancestor of Erlund.

So this thing must have been obtained by Barrett's fellow Nord in some adventure, and then before he could find a buyer, he himself had an accident. And Old Will and the others may not know what this thing is for, so they simply let it stay in the ring along with some other things.

Barrett made up what had happened. Ever since those strange words appeared, he found that his ability to analyze things (brain supplements) seemed to be getting stronger.

Underneath a few lines of small print on the tombstone, there is a short epitaph with only a few words on it, and the content of the writing is also inexplicable, which reads - "Hey, don't forget to eat." ”

This is not a good word of concern and blessing for the deceased, Barrett thought to himself. Getting up from the grave to eat is obviously not a commendable thing, and even more so, the undead do not need to eat.

Barrett took the tombstone in his hand and studied it repeatedly, except for the special material of the tombstone, which made the palm feel a little tingling cold, he didn't find anything special.

Just as he was about to put this small tombstone into the spatial ring again, a very common idea came to his mind - since he was able to identify the item through the [Mission Log] system, he might as well identify this small tombstone and take a look, at least after knowing the material, he could sell it for a good price.

As soon as he thought about it, Barrett rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, ready for a second evaluation.

He felt more and more that this identification function was really powerful, and that he could know some of the inner information of almost any object out of thin air, which could be called "omniscient", which even the most knowledgeable mage could not do.

And though the gods all claim to be omniscient, some of them are not even much better than the illiterate. Although robbery is a very technical business, it does not require too extensive knowledge, and plundering the godhead is obviously a type of robbery.

Barrett closed his eyes and rested for a while, this identification function was good for everything, but it was a bit eye-consuming, and he didn't know what he was communicating with through the gaze of his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, his gaze was nailed to the small tombstone in his hand.

It seemed to take an unusually long time, and it didn't take long for Barrett to hold on to the parchment, and it was much longer than what had been identified before.

[Little Eve's mini-tombstone: Maker John Deyi.] 】

[Eve is a little girl who died of starvation more than three hundred years ago, fortunately or unfortunately, her soul did not die due to the loss of her body. On a night when the first quarter moon was high, the cold moonlight shone through the broken windows on her pale corpse, and a bleak breeze blew, causing the wind chimes to whisper ethereally, as if mourning for the unknown deceased. In the echoing whispers and the caress of the moonlight, little Eve transformed into a most ordinary ghost.

Master John Deyi, who specializes in necromancy, accidentally discovered little Eve, who had become a ghost, and in order to experiment with new alchemical effects, John Deyi created an ultra-small tombstone out of rare soul stones, imprisoning little Eve's soul in this tombstone. In honour of the first occupant of this tombstone, John Dey named the object 'Little Eve's Mini Tombstone'. 】

[Tombstone Effect: If the owner of the tombstone is strong enough, you can use a spell to imprison the ghost spirit in the tombstone (no mana is consumed). 1/10 of current residents. The tombstone can also slowly nourish the undead through the negative energy carried by the soul stone itself, preventing it from dying out. Trigger Spell: Moitak larshat ku xalathom

Additional Attributes:

[1. Eve's gaze: After the tombstone was identified, little Eve, who lived in it, found that you noticed her, which made her very happy. Her gaze is on you through the blockade of the tombstone. Every year on July 3rd, you will permanently lose 1 CON to quench little Eve's hunger.

2. Identification of the deceased: Carrying the tombstone on your body will have a certain probability of eliminating the hostility of the undead towards you as the living.

3. When the number of guests in the tombstone increases, the additional attributes may also increase, and the effect is unknown.

[Note: Additional stats will ignore spatial distance and half-plane blockades - 'Abandon and escape, sometimes won't solve the problem.'] 】

[Mission: 'Eve's Little Wish', after completing the mission, the tombstone will be transformed into an amulet.] 】

【Do you accept the mission?】

Barrett looked at the palm-sized tombstone in his hand in a daze, with a wry smile and helplessness in his heart. He suddenly remembered a Nord proverb - 'It is better not to touch the things of the dead'.

The Nords respect their ancestors and the dead, and are the only human kingdom to be restored to burial after the fall of the Magic Empire. But there is no such tradition in Barrett, because he is an adventurer.

The content of the proverb is no different from farting for adventurers, because more than half of their harvest is obtained from various corpses. If he came across a corpse on the road, Barrett might be kind enough to dig a large pit so that the body could be buried. But before that, he would first search for anything of value on the corpse.

This is understandable, adventurers who don't touch corpses are not good adventurers. As the people of Bay of Pigs used to say, "The dead tend to bring more gold." ”

But the Nord proverb, which is useless to adventurers like a fart, has finally shown its wisdom today.

What is physique? Literally, it should refer to the state of physical health, Barrett guessed. He didn't know exactly how much physique he had, but he believed that he had at least more physique than ordinary people and most adventurers.

The loss of a little physique every year is not much, but it will kill him in the end. If you convert it according to the level of improvement of the previous "perception", the loss of a few points of physique may make Barrett feel much worse than before.

More crucially, according to the somewhat vague statement in the notes on the parchment, even throwing away or transferring this 'unlucky' tombstone does not seem to solve the problem. According to the [Mission Log], this ghost named 'Little Eve' seems to have relied on him.

Barrett thought about today's date, it seemed like March 26th, or maybe the 27th, it didn't make a difference. Fortunately, there is still some time to solve the problem.

Looks like he's left to accept the task, he thought.

Just as Barrett was about to accept the mission, he suddenly noticed someone who seemed to be walking towards his cabin. Barrett placed the tombstone in the spatial ring, pressed the hilt of his sword, and quietly looked at the door.

Three heartbeats later, the door to the cabin was violently pushed open.
