Misty Sea Chapter 158 Graveyard Mystery Corpse
"Ma Chen, why did you come back so early today, isn't it your turn to patrol the night today, could it be that you made up another reason to deceive the prince?" said the uncle, who was sitting across the table, picked up the spoon and slowly put the meal into his mouth.
"Of course not, I've never done this, tonight I changed shifts, and now the people who patrol the night outside are all elite soldiers sent by the Ao Lei Saint King, uncle, it's best not to go out at night in the past few days, it's very dangerous outside!" Ma Chen drank the soup in one gulp after speaking, this table of rice was cooked after he came back, so it was not difficult to eat.
"It's that wizard, I've heard a little bit, I've heard that it's very dangerous, he likes to catch people and sacrifice demons alive, this is really too bastard, but how do they deal with him, we don't have this kind of character here, and our king doesn't know magic, let alone those soldiers, isn't this kind of night patrol asking people to seek death?" After the uncle finished speaking, he pushed the bowl in front of Ma Chen, Ma Chen knew what it meant, he picked up the bowl and spoon, and prepared to take it to soak in water.
"It's impossible to rely on us, but you can't imagine that the Empire has sent the Bishop of the Paladin Order and his students to help, I think this matter should be solved soon, uncle, hey, why do you care so much about these things today, don't you continue to learn your magic?" Ma Chen asked, he wanted to end the topic, because he was so sleepy, I don't know why, he felt sleepy since the afternoon.
"Of course, but this is a serious matter, and I am also a subject of Auray City, so of course I have to care about these things!" said the uncle, who stood up, pushed his chair to the table, and walked to his room.
Ma Chen looked at his uncle's back, sleepiness hit again, he yawned, turned around and went back to his room, after hanging the armor on the shelf, he was ready to go to bed, but just as he was lying on the bed, just about to squint, he saw a dark shadow behind the window, this glance frightened him wide-eyed, rolled off the bed and dived to the window, pulled out his sword and was about to open the window to see, but when he stood up, there was no black shadow on the window.
"Maybe I'm too sleepy, let's go to bed early, I'll have to report tomorrow." Ma Chen thought about putting the sword back into its sheath, and he turned and walked towards his bed, but he didn't see a black shadow appear out of thin air on the window, but the black shadow disappeared immediately.
The next day Ma Chen got up early, which was different from usual, because he had a nightmare all night, he couldn't remember what happened in the dream, he only knew that something terrible happened in the dream, but this is not a bad thing, at least he can get up early today, and now the prince requires all the guards to report every morning, he has to make sure that everyone is safe, once someone does not come, then he will take someone to investigate.
At this time, his uncle hadn't gotten up yet, so Ma Chen wanted to go out for a walk first, and then come back to cook breakfast later, after all, he was in a cold sweat from a nightmare, and he was very nervous, he wanted to relax, he didn't bring anything, and went out directly.
Now there is a thick fog outside, Ma Chen doesn't know if it will be such a thick fog every morning, but he doesn't care, anyway, he will go home after walking around, and some brothers may still be patrolling now, Ma Chen's palm is also blessed with divine light, even if the wizard really appears, he will not be very afraid.
Ma Chen was very curious about whether the morning market was also very lively, but when he got there, he found that there was not even a person here, and the strange thing was not only that, he didn't see any patrol soldiers along the way, it stands to reason that a soldier should be sent to patrol every road to ensure the peace of the whole city, but Ma Chen didn't see it all the way, he was going to take a deeper look.
He wandered aimlessly, looking for people to see, but there was no one, and he himself had come to the cemetery because of his wandering, and the occasional birdsong sounded in the cemetery, which was much more noisy than any road he had just walked, and he decided to just walk all the way, and he remembered that there was a grave keeper in Aurey City, and that the grave keeper was here almost all day and night, and because he had been guarding these tombstones here, no one wanted to be friends with him, and it was estimated that no one told him that he should not come out at night, but Ma Chen was very suspicious that this grave keeper had a home。
Ma Chen kicked something, staggered a step and stepped into the air, the whole person fell into a pit, and when he opened his eyes to see the pit, he found that it was a grave pit, he was startled, and hurriedly crawled out of the pit, but he didn't expect to see a very frightened face just out of his head, Ma Chen screamed and fell into the grave again.
A few Mick passed, He Lei and a few generals stood next to the grave, Ma Chen stood behind them, and the body of the grave keeper was lying on the ground, and there was a wooden shovel next to the grave, He Lei and the generals said a few words and walked around the grave, and finally came to Ma Chen.
"You said you saw it here very early on, what's going on, tell us everything you know, this is something we have to figure out, Ma Chen, determine whether he was killed by a wizard or someone else!" He Lei asked Ma Chen, he could see that Ma Chen was very scared and nervous, so he didn't want to ask him in that interrogative tone, and he didn't want those martial artists to ask.
"That's right, Prince, I got up very early today, you know this is not possible in normal times, I had a nightmare last night, and when I woke up I didn't feel very good, so I thought about going out for a walk, and I went from my house to the bazaar, and came here again, and it was very foggy at that time, so I didn't see anything on the ground, and I tripped over him, and fell into that pit, and I was frightened, and I crawled out of the pit desperately and saw his body, and maybe he led me here, otherwise I think no one would know about him here as he rotted into dry bones, and that's all。 Ma Chen finished his words incoherently, it was obvious that this matter was a big blow to him, after all, it was the first time he had seen a dead person, and it was so terrifying.
He Lei nodded, he turned around and came to the corpse, he squatted down and carefully examined the wound on the corpse, the wound was very large, and it looked like a black hole inside, but He Lei was sure that his heart was forcibly pulled out and taken away, no matter how you say it, it will definitely not be something that ordinary people will do, but He Lei felt very strange, no one has died recently, and no one is about to die of old age, why does this grave keeper dig this grave pit.
And don't dig at another time, but it was dug last night, could it be said that he had foreseen his death, He Lei shook his head and knew that it was impossible, since he knew, it was better to hide, there were no other accidents last night, the only accident was that this tomb keeper who no one was worried about and no one took care of him died, but He Lei also understood that if he was a wizard, he couldn't escape after being discovered, then he would definitely start with those who had no relatives and no reason.
"Prince, come here to take a look, I found a problem!" A general's voice came into He Lei's ears, and he looked up and saw that the general was standing in the grave at this time, holding something in his hand.
He Lei came to the side of the grave and took the thing to see that this was a piece of wood, which did not belong to this wooden shovel, and the color was not right, and He Lei had attended the funerals of several old and dead civil officials, and had seen the rectangular coffin they were lying on, and he remembered that the color of the coffin was the same as this piece of wood, that is, this tomb was not intended for anyone, but it was originally someone's tomb here.
"Go and check and see whose tomb it is, no one will take the tombstone, send someone to look around and see if you can find it, and go find the person who made the coffin, and ask him how many coffins of this material he have built in total. He Lei instructed the generals that those who could use the coffins were generally high-ranking officials and nobles, while ordinary people were generally buried directly after being wrapped in cloth, so He Lei had to find out who the people in this tomb were first.
At the same time, Chongyi and his father stood behind a nearby tree and looked at the cemetery, and when they saw He Lei and the others leaving, several soldiers guarded the place, and they knew that it was useless to go in and adjust the errand, so they could only turn around and leave here.
"I didn't expect there to be a grave keeper here, it's a pity that the wizard escaped!" Chongyi said hatefully, the two of them had been ambushed in a nearby street all night last night, but they didn't find anything unusual from beginning to end, if they hadn't seen He Lei and the others hurrying past when they went back to the hotel in the morning, they wouldn't have known that something happened here.
"That wizard not only took away a heart, but also dug up a dead person, no, this is not right, it is useless for him to ask for this corpse, after all, he is not a corpse mage, he doesn't need to refine the corpse, he can't want a rotten heart, the demon will not accept such a gift, you must know that there are many rotten hearts, there are many in the hell, so what is he digging up the corpse for?" Heavywing's father didn't hear Heavywing's words, he was muttering to himself, thinking about the problem.
"Father, could he be that kind of corpse eater?" asked Heavy Wing, and his father immediately turned his head to look at him, with a very gloomy expression on his face.
"This kind of person is generally rejected by God, reviled by ten thousand people, and even if he dies, his soul will be imprisoned in the cage of the sharp demon, no god will accept such a dirty soul, so we don't need to consider this, this kind of person only exists in that kind of chaotic era, Chongyi, think of something useful, don't always think about these stupid things!" his father continued to think after speaking, and Chongyi could only bow his head and remain silent.
