Chapter 35

"I don't trust the Templars. Charlie looked at the back of the departing Templar and said to Gustav. "They are arrogant. It may seem to them that this is pride and dignity, but for those of us who have no faith, it is naked discrimination. ”

"The first thing that happened was an unlucky guy named Tomfu, and when he died, I packed the rest of his body in a burlap bag. Charlie said, "I've been working here as a bury for corpses, but this is the first time I've seen such a horrible corpse. ”

Charlie returns to normal, and he is determined to avenge his friend.

Trying to calm himself down, Charlie continued: "He is the man of this knight's leader, but unfortunately he is the only one in the family who has survived until now. Once upon a time, Tom was a very enthusiastic man, but after all his sons died in a mining accident, his wife became eccentric and finally committed suicide. From then on, he became depressed. ”

"Everyone has their own experience, and I'm sorry to hear from Tom. ”

"I buried him with my family. Charlie said, "Right in his old family cemetery." ”

Gustav and Amelia looked at each other, and it was a good opportunity to look like they were able to get some clues.

"Can you take us to dig up Tom's grave? I know that such an act is a great disrespect to the dead, even in the eyes of the unbelievers. "But this should be a good time to help us understand the truth," Gustav asked. ”

Charlie nodded firmly: "If I didn't have this idea, I wouldn't have made this suggestion at all." Today is Saturday, and some people will still visit the deceased. And the sun hasn't set yet, so you have to wait for the evening to get close to it without being noticed. ”

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

For the time being, the Templars will stay at the manor of the knights of Taiuwan, who will prepare a sumptuous dinner for them.

Fat muscles roasted just right, large slices of whole wheat bread, potato broth with a dash of beef, and some desserts.

"Knight," said the leader of the Templars over dinner, "in the afternoon, led by Charles, we entered the mine. As a Templar, I would like to believe everything you say, but I will also follow what I see. The fact that the massive renovation does exist, and there are traces of the anomaly, shows that Charlie's statement is not complete gibberish. ”

Despite their arrogance, these low-level Templars still had their faith.

The maid of the Taiu was serving dinner to the men, each plate of at least one large piece of chicken with good fat, a slice of bread baked just rightly with butter, some vegetable salad, and a bowl of steaming potato soup for each of them.

Alcohol was forbidden in the Arlett Church at this time, so the goblet contained clean water.

Taiu's eyes were deep-set and somewhat dark, like someone who could never wake up. He cut a small piece of chicken with a knife and fork and put it in his mouth to chew.

"That's where the scavengers gather, digging up in the buries for anything that could be sold for money, that's how they do it. Taiu spoke calmly, as if he didn't care about the people, "You are all Templars, and you should know what shameless and indecent things ignorant and ignorant humans can do without the guidance of the gods. ”

The Templars of the "......" were of course steadfast in their faith in the Arlettes, and instinctively took a liking to what Taiu had to say.

"I'm still going to prepare a report. The leader of the samurai finally spoke. "I'll do as fair a description of this as I can, whether Charlie is a believer or not. ”

The events of the afternoon and the tragic situation of the scavengers touched this stereotypical knight who had grown up in the church since childhood, and although his faith remained strong and his reverence for the Lord of Light was still deep, something called justice and justice was quietly sprouting in his heart.

Taiu smiled and persuaded the samurai to eat more dishes.

"Of course, this is the duty of the Templars, but before that, you need to fill your stomach. ”

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

It was late at night, and there was no other light to be seen in this land, except for the manor of Taiu.

Gustav: After they had finished some brown bread, they stuffed some jerky indiscriminately. Amelia made the jerky, and as a descendant of hunters, she was really good at it.

Gustav and Amelia are okay, for Charlie, who hasn't eaten meat for a long time, he eats sweetly.

"Do you want some more, Charlie?" Amelia kindly asked, and every time she went out to carry out a commission, she would prepare some jerky, which was the hunter's preparation before the hunt.

"Thank you if you can, Miss Amelia. Charlie's words were tinged with gratitude.

Amelia took out the pouch containing the jerky from the leather bag behind her back and placed it all in Charlie's hand.

"Take it all, and if you have someone you want to share with, you can eat with them. Amelia regained her stunned expression, and when she wasn't carrying out her request, she had been a little sluggish.

Charlie wiped his hands on his clothes, and his hands were as reverent as a man in the desert picking up a handful of clear springs. He took the jerky that Amelia had handed him, resisted the urge to continue eating, and carefully placed the pouch in his arms.

Gustav hid himself in his cloak, and he had a hunch that something was going to happen tonight.

"Ahead is Tom's burial site, I've encountered a lot of things during this time, and I haven't had time to make a tombstone for him. Charlie said, and the three of them quietly entered the cemetery under the light of the moon.

Sparsely, there are probably dozens of tombstones here, all with words engraved on them.

Many were pioneers who sacrificed for Stirburton's rise, but sadly, they died before the city's reputation spread.

"Right there!" Charlie whispered, and in the direction of his finger, Gustav saw a field of land without vegetation next to an isolated tombstone.

The moonlight shone right on the tombstone, and in the moonlight, it was possible to make out that the tombstone next to it read, 'Lady Anna Howes is buried here, next to her dear son Guillen House'.

Gustav lit the torch and found another tombstone next to the grave of Tomfer's deceased wife.

'Gyllenhouse is buried here, one of the sixteen people who died in a mining accident'.

Charlie stood silently in front of the cemetery, his expression calm, his eyes closed and he could not see any madness.
