Chapter 496: The Coffin Carrier
The next morning, Kane woke up from his sleep.
After a brief cleanup, he let the marshmallow possess him, and let Yoyo hide in the room, pretending to be an iron ball if someone comes in.
After all this was done, Kane left the door and went to the bar of the tavern.
At this time, Gram was biting on a red plant rhizome and lying leisurely in his rocking chair.
He looked at Kane who came out and said with a smile: "I must not have slept well, maybe I haven't slept all night, they are all dead people, in fact, it doesn't matter if I don't sleep or not." ”
Judging by the way he smiled, in Kane's feelings last night, Gram had been sitting in the rocking chair at the bar, and Kane thought he was asleep in the chair at the time.
I didn't expect it to be that I didn't have to sleep.
It seems that even more time has been left after death.
Kane smiled and agreed, "yes, it seems that I will have to get used to being a dead man in the future." ”
The whole time Kane crawled out of the coffin, others watched, so no one in the village would question his dead identity.
No normal person would want to be around a bunch of dead people, let alone have an air of decay in the entire village.
In particular, the deceased's iconic withered body, under Kane's equipment shrouded in himself, was also seen by others as not yet accepting his current situation.
And this situation is still very normal, almost every dead person who has just gotten up can't accept his identity for a while.
will do something to cover up a certain dry body on their body.
"Are you going to build a house? Do you want me to recommend you some good places? ”
Looking at the enthusiastic Gram, Kane waved his hand and said, "No need, I want to observe and understand this village first." ”
"Haha, it should be, then you go early and come back early, the people in the village are relatively indifferent."
After saying goodbye to Kane and Ke, he pushed open the door to the tavern and walked out, and although it was early in the morning, there were still many pedestrians on the road of the village.
For these villagers, who have become dead, there is no such thing as going to bed early and waking up early, and there is no need to eat, drink and sleep anyway.
Kane wandered around the village like this.
When I passed by a wooden house, I saw two children running out of the door.
Kane could still smell the decay on them, indicating that the two children were dead as well.
I don't know if it's a good thing that such a young child died early and is getting back up again.
There was no one in the village doing farm work, after all, they didn't need to eat or drink, and even if they did, they couldn't experience any sensations, they couldn't even taste the taste.
The only thing Kane saw being planted was the red rhizome in the tavern.
And there are very few people who plant it, but they see this kind of thing in the yard behind the back of two or three families, which means that not everyone likes this taste, and some people would rather not taste anything at all, and they are not willing to experience the strange smell of red rhizomes.
Since there is no need to eat, drink, or rest, and there is no physical desire and excretion problems, Kane can see many idle villagers along the way, as well as some villagers who are behaving strangely.
The idle villagers got together to either chat or play various entertaining games, similar to chess, but Kane couldn't read it.
But more often than not, there are villagers who practice various hobbies.
Along the way, for example, Kane saw three blacksmiths, and the sound of tinkling and clanging irons accompanied the way.
There are also flower growers, who draw on the ground with branches.
Constantly making all kinds of furniture, as well as wood and stone carvings.
Although there were many villagers, Kane found that most of them were elderly people or children, and there were almost no young people in the village.
But it's right to think about it, there is a lot of time without eating, drinking, and sleeping, in such a village, if you continue to live like this, sooner or later you will go crazy, it is better to leave.
When young people die, it is still the mentality of young people.
Kane thought as he walked, when he suddenly saw in the distance the old man who was carrying the coffin from yesterday.
He was now dragging yesterday's wooden cart towards the outside of the village, and the route was exactly the same as yesterday's when he came.
According to Ke, the old man who carried the coffin often had dead people crawling out of the coffin.
But he didn't tell Kane why he kept transporting the coffin and where it was going, Kane was a little curious, and he thought that the old man must have some useful information.
Kane walked over and said politely, "Does the old man remember me?" ”
The old man looked at Kane and said, "Don't call me grandpa, you may be older than me." ”
"I really don't know what it's called, just call me Ji'an."
Kane nodded and said, "Okay, Gian, thank you for bringing me to this village yesterday. ”
"Are you going to carry the coffin again?"
In response to Kane's question, Giang nodded and said, "Yes, why do you want to come along?" ”
"Is that okay?"
"What's wrong with that, come on."
With that, Ji'an dragged the cart and continued to walk outside the village, with Kane following him.
Ji'an accosted first: "Kane, what era are you?" ”
Kane thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember it very well, but it should be the so-called solar age." ”
"The Age of the Sun? Oh, the days when there was the sun. ”
"Then you've been dead for a long time, so you must be very unaccustomed to the current situation."
"What about you?" Kane asked rhetorically.
"Me." Ji An looked up at the sky, a look of remembrance in his eyes.
"I died after the Broken Era, which means that I probably died hundreds of years ago, so I haven't seen anything too glorious."
"When I was alive, I was a resident of the Red King's territory, and now I am dead and still live in the Red King's territory."
Hearing Ji'an's words, Kane's eyes were a little happy and he hurriedly asked, "Then do you know which five princes are?" ”
"Yes."
Ji An dragged the wooden cart and replied slowly: "The five kings are the eldest prince Red King, the princess Qingwang, the third prince White King and the fourth prince Black King, and the sixth prince Gray King. ”
"Turns out that the Platinum King has more than 5 children?"
Hearing Kane's words, Gian looked at him strangely.
"He has been the king of platinum for an unknown amount of time, how can he only have 5 children, it's just that these 5 children finally gained his power."
As he spoke, Ji An showed a reminiscing expression again.
Kane found that once these dead people think about the memories of their past lives, they can easily get caught up in the memories.
"That's what my son told me." There was a sadness in his voice.
"Who is your son?" Kane asked.
"My son?" Hearing Kane's question, Gian's heart suddenly became energetic.
He said with great interest, "My son was a member of the most important knightly order under the command of the Red King while I was alive. ”
"That's a real elite knight, Wings of Steel, Wings of Steel, you know?"
"No, how do you know about Iron Wings, I'm so confused, anyway, this knight is very powerful."
He smiled, with a happy look on his face: "Every time my son comes back, he will tell me about the current situation in this broken world. ”
"He also said that the Red King, just by waving his hand, he can make a castle on the spot."
"I said he was bragging, and he wasn't happy at the time, hahahaha."
Smiling and laughing, Ji'an's voice slowly deepened.
"Unfortunately, he died at the hands of the enemy."
As he spoke, he dragged his wooden cart towards the maple grove on the hillside.
Kane looked at Gian's expression that he was not interested in continuing to talk at all, so he didn't say anything more and slowly walked up from behind.
Ji'an dragged the wooden cart through the maple forest on the hillside, and then continued walking.
I didn't have to go far to see an area that looked like a wasteland.
Ji'an put the wooden cart next to him and said to Kane, "This is a cemetery, and it is said that many people have been buried here for thousands of years, and you were dug up from here. ”
Kane looked at the wasteland, or the cemetery, in front of him, which was so large that he could see that the tombstones had long since collapsed and destroyed, and he could barely see a single intact one.
The surroundings are overgrown with weeds and there are potholes everywhere.
If it weren't for the craters, some of which were half half of a sarcophagus, Kane wouldn't have felt like a cemetery.
Kane then watched as Gian dug open the half-exposed sarcophagus, gouged out the dirt on top, and shoveled a ramp to push the sarcophagus up from under the pit.
Kane took the coffin in its entirety.
I couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing digging up these coffins and transporting them to the village?" ”
"The bodies inside are reburied at the edge of the village, if it's dirt, they can easily be cut open and drilled out when they come back to life, and there are some dead people in the village who can't sleep without this kind of coffin."
So that's the case, killing two birds with one stone.
But if you don't sleep in a coffin, you can't sleep, it's really a quirk, what are you sleeping when you're dead anyway.
Kane watched, chatting with Gian, watching him dig slowly.
From time to time, he went down to help him with the handle and carry out the dug coffin.
In casual conversation with him, Kane learned some subtle information.
For example, the territories of the Black King and the White King are very close to each other, and they seem to be a pair of mortal enemies, who have been waging war against each other and have never stopped.
In other words, Claire learned from the rebels that the Black King's opponent was the White King.
She was probably close to the mountains of Rombey.
and the realm of the Red King, which is the greatest of all kings.
There are still many races in this world who have been oppressed while the Platinum King still exists.
After the death of the Platinum King, the world shattered, and they rose up one after another to fight for their freedom and their people.
So it can be said that the whole continent is now spreading war, and it has been spreading for I don't know how many years.
According to the dead who have traveled and returned, it is now almost impossible to see life alive outside.
The war has taken a heavy toll on the lives and races of the entire continent, and the number has been drastically reduced.
Compared with intelligent life, the number of dry bones in the open air is not known to be a few more.
Due to its remote location, the village of the dead is located in a stable area.
At this moment, Ji An seemed to have dug up a very exquisite coffin, and the expression on his face was excited.
Throw the shovel away and quickly scrape the dirt with both hands.
Kane walked over and looked at it, only to see that the coffin was more beautiful than the others.
It has a carved pattern of a bird with its wings outstretched.
After Ji'an shaved the dirt open, the lid of the coffin was opened directly. However, there was only a skeleton and rotten black cloth. There was also a sword and shield, but they were all decayed.
You can see gold and various precious ornaments on your head and feet, and although it is a little gray, you can still see its precious value.
But Ji'an wasn't interested in the wealth, just looked at the skeleton carefully, and then shook his head in disappointment.
He sighed, closed the lid again, and pushed the coffin up himself.
Refuses Kane's help.
The coffins were then lifted onto a wooden trailer, on which many coffins were stacked on top of each other.
"That's all for today, let's go back."
Seeing that Ji An inexplicably fell into a low state again, Kane didn't bother anymore and followed Ji An towards the village of the dead.
As they left the maple grove, they were heading towards the village in the downhill direction.
At this time, I saw several huge birds flying in the sky in the distance, and the sun shone on the bodies of those birds, reflecting the luster of metal.
Seeing this situation, Ji'an was very excited, directly threw away the trailer in his hand, and ran towards the village below.
Kane saw this situation and quickly chased after him.
