Chapter 124: Immortality (Part II)
After drilling out of the entrance to the mine, the ghosts that followed were quickly disappeared by the sunlight and melted into the air.
And the entanglement with the immortal life just now consumed a lot of physical strength and spells, so as soon as Romon and Avisy came out of the mining area, they suddenly felt tired. Still, they continued on their way, called out to their horses, and went out.
At the end of June, the sun shines on people warmly and comfortably, especially now, and the chill is banished.
The hills and fields are golden, and even the dense trees on the hills seem quiet and peaceful.
Romon stopped his horse, took out a food bag from the bag, which contained a braised chicken, and some bread, and then found a place to rest.
"Romon, what's wrong with you just now? Did you find something?" Remembering Romon's strange reaction just now, Avisy asked.
Luo Meng actually didn't intend to hide it from her, just when she turned around just now, he had already taken out the small package that was put into the space, and when he saw that she was asking now, he handed the bread first: "You eat this first...... Oh, I just found this, and I haven't seen what's inside, but it's strange in itself that something like this is in a mine. ”
"What is this?" Avisy took the package without taking the bread first, and curiously ripped open the cowhide wrapped outside, and saw that there were several booklets made of brown paper lying inside.
She checked it first and found that there was nothing wrong with the booklet, so she turned the first page and looked. There were a lot of words written densely on it, and Avisy only glanced at it, then looked up and asked Romon: "Did you just say that the possessed young man is called Jacob, the younger brother of Baron Galle?"
At this time, Romon was gulping down braised chicken, which was the prepared food, and nodded at this time: "Yes, his name is Jacob, and he is the half-brother of Baron Galle...... What, this has something to do with Jacob?"
Hearing Avexi say this, he also leaned over to look, because of the fierce battle just now, his body was sweating, therefore, the strong male surname breath, as Luo Meng approached, kept floating towards her, Avexi's face gradually appeared a trace of unnatural flush, but fortunately, Luo Meng was looking down at the booklet, and did not find her abnormal.
"It turned out that this was Jacob's book of sayings and spells. After flipping through a few pages at random, Romon finally determined the origin of these booklets, and sighed softly.
The mage must have a spell book, otherwise, it will be difficult to use complex spells on a whim, and it is natural to carry them with them. It may be that when entering the mining area, he accidentally fell to the ground and was discovered by himself.
It's just that it's strange to write a book, why do these people always like to write a book? Luo Meng couldn't figure it out, but the answers to the questions they had been puzzled about before were also found in this book, and some of the key passages are as follows:
“...... Heaven has been unfair to me, everyone has been unfair to me, I want revenge! I want to take revenge on everyone! I want them to know what punishment will be given for abandoning me, and I want them to know that only I, only I, Jacob, am the master of the territory, and only me, and only I am ......."
“...... I heard my mother say that the reason why she married a baron back then was because of the sudden fortune made by her grandfather, because my grandfather had money, so he was able to buy the housekeeper of the baron's mansion, money, money, money, money is really a good thing, as long as I have money, I can have the opportunity to regain control of the territory, as long as I have money, I won't let those guys see jokes, money, money, money, I must understand what my grandfather found out at the beginning, why he was able to make a fortune overnight, what he can do, maybe, I can also ......"
“...... Today, I found some documents and materials in my grandfather's room, which actually recorded a lot of things about a secret silver mine, it turned out that in my grandfather's village, there was still such a secret silver mine, these guys, actually carrying the lord behind their backs, dare to do anything, what village chief, what town mayor, for money, can not care about anything, this is the reality. It's a pity, because of the original landslide incident, the mining area has been abandoned, and those more than 100 lives are dead, and I have no chance to make a comeback, God is really unfair to me......"
“...... Hahahaha...... Today, I discovered a secret in the village, haha, I finally have a chance to get revenge on them......"
“...... The breath of death is so strong, sure enough, I guessed right, there is a ghost here that is about to take shape, I want to release it, and then, summon it to my use, and at that time, no one will be able to stop my revenge plan, and everyone who offends me will die......!
After reading the book, Romon and Avisy had already roughly guessed the truth of the matter, and understood why there was a secret silver mine here, but there was no record on the official map as a sign of the lord's jurisdiction, and understood why the shopkeeper and the villagers were so hostile to them after knowing their identities.
"Village chief, that's the village chief of the village down there, right?" said Romon guessingly.
"Even if it's not, it's easy to check!"
"Well, as for the mayor, it must be the mayor of Jumu Town, whether it is the original one, just check it out. Romon grabbed the note and said.
After putting down the note, Luo Meng wiped his hand, continued to attack the braised chicken, and kept thinking, after eating most of it, he was finally full, put it back, and said: "It seems that it was in the abandoned copper mine that a small silver mine was found, and there was still dense silver in it, and the mayor of Jumu Town, together with the village chief of the mining area, carried the lord on his back to mine, and in the end, the town chief and the village chief both made a fortune, so the village chief's daughter was able to make a concubine for the baron, and gave birth to Jacob." ”
"Well, that's how it should be, and later, the mine collapsed, and hundreds of people were buried alive in the ground, but they were covered up by the two parties. Avisy ate a few slices of bread and cheese too, and that's it, as he spoke.
"Not only that, if the mine collapses, it will not be abandoned, the secret silver is very expensive, if there are still below, even if hundreds of people die, they may not be willing to give up, it is estimated that the mine is almost exhausted, it may not be a disaster, it is a man-made ......" Luo Meng got up and said.
"......," Miss Avisy did not speak.
"As for the following, it is also clear that Jacob, who failed in the competition with his brother, could not stay in the city or in the castle, so he had to return to the village in desperation, and found some secrets, and ......" Romon frowned, and said: "There are still some mysteries, for example, why he built the altar, etc., we will go down to the village to find out." ”
"Okay, let's go down. ”
The two of them went down the other road, and the June wind, blowing through the earth, had already brought a bit of scorching heat, and the fields in the distance were still patchy, but neither of them was in the mood to appreciate all this, and urged their mounts to drive into the distance.
"Avisie, do you know if there is any way to let the ghost rest in peace?" After a moment of silence, Romon suddenly asked, although there is no evidence yet, many of the ghosts entangled in it are miners who were buried alive.
It is estimated that most of these miners are from the village below, so even if they become ghosts, they subconsciously avoid their own village and do not cause trouble to the village.
The purpose of their trip is to solve the problem of plants, and now that the root of the problem has been found, as long as the ghosts are laid to rest and the breath of death that pervades the territory disappears, then the growth of plants will not be affected, and their task can be completed.
Hearing Romon ask this question, Avisy flashed a trace of hesitation, but after glancing at Romon at him, she finally made up her mind and said the method she knew: "There are two ways to let the ghosts rest in peace, one is to invite a powerful priest, the power of the priest can completely destroy the ghosts, as long as a powerful priest is invited, the ghosts here can be eliminated, and the other method is more troublesome, that is, to fulfill their wishes, and their wishes are fulfilled, and they will rest in peace." ”
"No, you can't use the first method, even if they have a revenge in their hearts, it's because they were hurt first, and they are also victims......" Romon directly rejected the first option, and then asked Avisie: "If we choose the second method, what should we do?"
"If the second option is chosen, then we need to gather evidence to make the death of these people public, and let the people who killed them get the punishment they deserve, and if we do that, the ghost will rest in peace. Hearing that Romon had chosen the second method without thinking, Avissy's face was once again smiling.
"Okay, then let's go collect evidence!" Romon said after listening to Avissy's words, "At the moment, we only have Jacob's book in our hands, and we can't use it as evidence, we must find more powerful evidence, so that it is possible to give an explanation to the hundreds of villagers who died, so that the ghosts can rest in peace." ”
"I've seen Jacob mention the documents in the village house a few times, so why don't we go there too, and since he can find clues there, maybe we can also collect some evidence. Avecy proposed.
Romon nodded in agreement.
The two of them didn't have any surnames to chat, they both kept their heads and walked towards the village.
Since the village below may have been very large in the past, but now it is very small, with only more than 30 households, so even if no one cooperates, it is very easy to find the residence of the original village chief.
I believe that at that time, the matter will be solved!
