Chapter 51: The Gates of Hell
The captain's shocked roar caused the guards to carry out his orders at a rapid pace, and several of the guards who pushed the door up saw the naked dead man even the moment the door was stitched shut.
"Bang~Bang~Bang~"
There was a bang on the slammed stone door shut, and the guards locked the door, their eyes filled with shock, followed by fear.
"Push those tombstones over and block them!" The captain of the guard commanded, and when the tombstone was pushed past to resist the sound of impact, he said to the group of guards beside him, "You guys guard here!" ”
In the Earl's castle, he tasted tea, and although this thing was made by the butler like a pot of water, it also had a different flavor.
The Count stood silent by the window until the captain of the guard led the men in.
"Panicked, have you found a heresy?" The Count asked, gracefully turning his head to look at the frightened guards.
"We opened the gates of hell." The captain of the guard described, "There is a resurrected dead who will run out of it!" ”
"Hell? Dead man?" The Count sneered, "Are you kidding? ”
But seeing that a group of guards did not say anything, but still looked frightened, the earl's smile retracted, "How many ran out?" ”
"We sealed off the tomb door in time, and no dead people escaped from inside." "But only two of the guards who went in came out. ”
"Sage, what do you think?" Hearing this, the Earl turned his head to look at him, "Your definition of heresy seems to be different from ours. ”
"Monsieur Count is a diviner, and it should be right for heretics to hide there." "Maybe they've been eaten by the dead that popped up there." ”
"So what do we do now? Other people's aristocratic lives are salons, balls, pastoral girls, why do we become heretics, dead people, and the Black Death! ”
The Count roared angrily, feeling that his life had been terrible since he had inherited the Count's position.
"Heresy is like that, the territory is so big, it can only be cleaned up slowly, the guards of the dead are also sealed, it will not appear in a short time, and the waste that can't be broken through by the two tomb doors doesn't need to be taken to heart, as for the Black Death." He shook his cervical spine, "Seriously, I don't know if people have been imperceptible in my propaganda during this time, and if you can find the yellow lotus, you can also fight after the epidemic comes." ”
"I think what you said is so simple!" The Earl was silent for a moment, then looked at the guards and asked, "Are you sure those dead people can't climb out?" ”
"We have other tombstone stones to block the tomb door, and it looks sturdy at the moment." The captain replied.
"Tell the blacksmith to build a big cage that covers the door of the tomb and add a layer of insurance." The Count commanded.
"I'll do it." After receiving the order, the captain of the guard quickly turned and left, the kind of thing that could make him have a few nightmares in the next few days, it would be better to be trapped forever.
"Alas~" After the guards left, the earl sat on a chair and rubbed his eyebrows with his hands, he was really sad for a while.
"Sage, what is the meaning of the yellow lotus, is it an alchemy material?" The Count asked.
"It's literal, lotus... Well, it's not really a lotus. "Its rhizome is yellow, often branched, and densely planted with many fibrous roots. The leaves have long stalks; The leaves are slightly leathery, ovate-triangular, and almost as long as a finger. ”
"Is that what it looks like?" The butler drew with a parchment roll while he was talking, and when he finished speaking, the butler's drawing was finished.
"That's right, this is it." After looking at it, he nodded and said, "Coptis chinensis likes cold, moist, and shade, you can find it in the mountains, and we can grow it artificially after the knots, and I will tell you the method later." ”
"Does it work?" The Count frowned.
"All I can say is that it works." He replied.
"I'll have people look for it." The Earl nodded, "The merchant who transported the materials is also on the way, and he wants to see you." ”
"Meet me?" Hearing this, he was stunned, "I don't know any merchants. ”
"He was originally a relative of Nofifi, the kind with the right to inherit, and now the territory has been divided by me to Weidi, and he intends to have a small town outside my city." The Count said, "The most desolate kind." ”
"Maybe I can talk to him about a deal." He nodded and said.
"Soap factory business?" The Earl laughed, "I think he can." ”
"I've been in the city all this time, and if there's anything going on, go find me in the magic workshop." Seeing that the conversation was almost over, he got up and took his leave, and compared to these things, he was a little curious about the resurrection of the dead before.
Coming out of the Count's Castle, he went to the church cemetery, where the guards were setting the pedestal.
"What does the dead man look like inside?" He asked the captain of the guard who was commanding there.
"It's very similar to the legendary zombies, they have a lot of festering on their bodies, and some of them can even see their internal organs." "They were quick and had a great deal of attacking power, and that a heavily armed guard would not have been wiped out in such a short time, even against several times the enemy," the captain recalled. ”
"Do you think those dead people could have been manipulated by heretics?" The captain asked.
"I don't rule out that possibility." "And even if it weren't for them, do you think they'd be curious about what you're guarding after you've focused on guarding this place?" ”
The guards were stunned when they heard this, heretics are more curious than cats, especially once they hear that this may be the gate of hell, the consequences are unimaginable.
For example, one dark night, a group of heretics attacked the guards while they were napping, and opened the cage and tomb door, freeing the resurrected dead and causing the fall of Hilton.
After all, this is the gates of hell! Opening this is enough for them to brag about it in Hilton's dark circle for a while.
"Huh~" shook off the terrifying picture in his mind, and the captain of the guard looked at Yang Se, "Do you think there is any other better solution?"
"When the cages are ready, open the door of the tomb and let them out." "Let's get ready, and we'll be ready to start with the sun, the fire, the bow, and the blood of the rooster and the blood of the black dog, to determine what level of dead people they are, and what kind of dead people they are. ”
"Are you sure we'll be able to handle it when we release it?" The captain of the guard asked, "This is in the city, and I feel like you're playing with fire." ”
"The cemetery has a courtyard wall, and the entrance is the church, and you all stay there, it's okay." "We still have to solve this hidden danger ourselves, and if we let the heresy come out, we may be full of this stuff all over the city." ”
