Chapter 173: Azik: Mainly to experience funeral work
"Mr. Azik, are you sure you want to contract our shop?"
"Yes."
Azik smiled, "Rent for half a year, I will send someone to help collect the corpse and dig the grave, and I will return it to you after half a year." β
"Yes, I remember, but, honestly, Mr. Azik, what are you trying to do?"
The boss looked dazed.
He didn't understand.
Why would someone pay to contract a company in the "funeral" industry, and their company is actually not doing well.
Basically......
I earn money every year, and the work is not very decent, and many people are not happy to do it.
If it were in the city of Tingen, it wouldn't even be their turnβ
There is a one-stop service in the church, and they don't need to interfere at all, and only in this kind of remote countryside do they need the cooperation of these companies.
Therefore, the possibility of becoming bigger and stronger is basically non-existent.
The boss's eyes suddenly became serious: "Sir, take the liberty of asking, do you want to use my company to do anything bad?" β
He had heard a little bit about the business of stealing corpses.
If so......
His hand had already quietly touched the pistol, ready to shoot at any moment.
"Don't worry, you should have asked me, I used to be a university faculty member, and I have a good reputation, so there is no need to do that kind of thing."
Azik smiled faintly, "I'll be honest, I want to rent your company, mainly to experience this kind of life, and then write a report." β
"Can this also be used to write a report?"
"Yes, the funerary culture is also part of history, and in an ancient empire even worshipped death."
"I've been working on this category lately, so I wanted to try it at funerals." β
"Do you plan to use it as a springboard to meet some friends who know how to bury?"
The boss understood.
Azik nodded: "You can think so, but I think that the process of experience and exploration is the most important, and it will become an indelible part of my knowledge." β
"With all due respect, I can't understand you scholars, but I respect your opinion and I will lend it to you for half a year."
The boss lay back in his chair and said in a relaxed tone, "If you need workers, the workers in the company will stay now." β
"What about you?"
Azik looked at the man in front of him.
The boss smiled.
"I've never left Tingen in my life, you know, a lot of times we have to wait in the company, and even if we don't have it today, we can't say tomorrow."
"The corpses don't wait for anyone, it's a pity that they died, if we can't get timely and decent arrangements, we all feel guilty in this industry."
He looked out the window, then sighed.
"In recent years, people have been dying younger, and industry has brought progress, but it has also brought a lot of injuries."
Azik was silent for several seconds.
He flashed through what he had seen along the way, and then bowed his head slightly, but he didn't know what to say.
After a second, he said, "This may be the price of necessity." β
"Yes, yes, but a lot of the time, there is still a feeling of regret or having other thoughts."
The boss was a middle-aged man, but his tone was full of the breath of time, probably having witnessed too many deaths.
Azik guessed in his heart.
He listened quietly as the other party recounted his experience in the funeral industry, and then smiled.
"Do you know what I like most about you? Funeral culture is also part of history. β
"Yes."
Azik nodded.
The boss smiled and said, "I don't know such profound things, but the existence of cemeteries and tombstones is history in itself, and they carry the memories of their families." β
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help them during this rental period."
Azik said solemnly.
The boss nodded lightly: "At this point, I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't agree to rent it to you, after all, I still have to live my own life after half a year." β
"In the past six months, I plan to go to Beckland, or Jianhai County and other places, and take my wife and children to travel."
He smiled as he said this, "But it may be back soon, and I may not be used to it when I am really idle." β
"I'm always looking forward to welcoming you back."
β¦β¦
Harvest Church.
Roy sat in the hall, waiting for Riana on a daily basis.
This month, his scroll professor has almost digested it, and it will take a week or two at most to be promoted.
So.
The Three-Eyed Raven is on the agenda.
He was waiting, and a man walked in at the door.
An old lady.
She was carrying a package, her face didn't look good, and there was a faint hint of black air lingering.
Roy frowned slightly.
It's the breath of deathβ
Has there been a person who has recently collected the corpse through something extraordinary, or something related to her that has come into contact with her?
Ulatevsky in the backyard.
He got up and walked over: "Madam, what's the matter?" β
"Are you a missionary in the church?"
The old lady looked up tremblingly.
Roy nodded slightly: "Yes, do you need any help?" β
"Yes, I need some help, but I'm not your believer."
The old lady is also sincere.
She hugged the package and sat down in the seat next to her.
The corners of Roy's mouth twitched, and then he smiled, "Are you a believer in the Night Church?" β
"Not really."
The old lady hesitated for a moment, then said, "We were once believers in the Church of the Eternal Sun. β
Yes?
Roy looked surprised.
Eternal Sun?
In the kingdom of Intis, if the commoners were believers in the Eternal Sun, it would be perfectly normal.
It is the land of the eternal sun.
But.
In Rune, the Eternal Sun may be even more niche than the Earth Churchβ
The Earth Church has at least one church.
The eternal sun doesn't even have a church here.
"My husband is an Intius, and I was influenced by him to become a believer in the eternal sun."
The old lady explained.
Roy understood.
In his early years, the other party should have been a crew member.
As a believer in the Eternal Sun, it is nonsense to go to the Night Church for help, and it is even more impossible for the Storm Church and the Steam Church to ask for help.
The Earth Church was really her best choice.
He bowed slightly, and did not ask deeply, but said, "It's okay, the mother goddess will not refuse people in need, what special things have happened to you, right?" β
"Yes, I, my husband died last month and I buried him in the cemetery in the South District......"
The old lady babbled.
Roy listened quietly, and Utravsky had already returned halfway, but saw Roy and the old lady immersively communicating......
Without interrupting, he sat down in front of him and prayed.
"So, last week, he suddenly came back to life?"
Roy's expression was serious.
The old lady nodded, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "But I know that he is not really resurrected, and someone has desecrated his body!" β
"It's ......"
"His ashes."
"I shot him back to death and threw him into the fire, and I didn't want him to fall into the hands of the church, where there might not be even ashes left." β
Shoot to kill?
It's fierce!
Roy secretly said that when this lady was young, she was not allowed to be in the same industry as a priest.
Or a bodyguard on a ship.
It's so tough!
As she spoke, the old lady unwrapped the package.
Inside the package is a jar.
Roy's gaze was over, and there was a spiritual power lingering above him.
Someone did resurrect him!
And.
Even if the corpse was burned with the help of flames, there was still spiritual contamination left on it.
If used as a casting material, it is very qualified, but ......
The moral bottom line doesn't allow Roy to do that.
"Madam, can you show me it?"
"Okay."
The old lady handed it over.
Roy took it and lifted the lid of the altar, and through his peeping eyes, he could see more clearly the spiritual contamination that remained inside.
This contamination appears to be a ritual remnant effect.
He closed his eyes and tried to use it to perform dream divination and trace the root cause of the incident.
Subsequently.
A picture came to mind.
It is a cemetery with a bonfire.
In the cemetery, five people circled around a cemetery, dancing weird and terrifying dances.
Another group of spirit dance lovers?
No.
Not like.
Roy thought of Mansour, the "lead dancer."
Could it be the extraordinary one over there?
He woke up from the dream, opened his eyes, and said, "Madam, you should have been exposed to extraordinary events, so I won't hide it. β
"Your husband is not the main object of the other party's ceremony, and he should have accidentally caused a certain spiritual pollution when the ceremony was held."
Roy closed the lid and handed it back.
The old lady said, "Then you have to get rid of it!" These desecrating corpses should be purified! β
Yes, it is indeed a believer in the eternal sun.
Roy smiled.
"Don't worry, we'll report to the Night Church, and if they're busy, or entrust it to us, we'll take care of it."
"Is that so?"
After hearing this, the old lady nodded slightly, "Thank you, sir, I hope you can catch the evil believers who desecrated the corpse as soon as possible." β
"Yes, if it's convenient, can you leave your name? In this way, it is more convenient for us to report and track the other party in the future. β
Roy said, pulling out a pen and paper.
The old lady nodded.
"Of course, although I am a believer in the Church of the Eternal Sun, I have nothing to hide from my identity."
Then, she took the pen and paper and quickly wrote down her name and address.
Avra Sailor.
The residence is a small town in the South District, and the cemetery is also the name of the local town, which should be the place in the town.
"Mrs. Avra, have you ever been to that cemetery?"
"Of course, I personally chose the cemetery, and the old fellow was a sailor when he was young, and once ran with an old captain who liked to call himself a sailor."
Mrs. Evra had a hint of nostalgia and a sweet smile on her face, "Every time he came back from the sea, he would bring me things from Intis, the atmosphere of the place was not very good, but the things were really beautiful......"
"So, that cemetery was carefully selected by me, and from the hill you can see the sea just right."
She said that she suddenly woke up here.
"I'm sorry, but I'm trying to ask, who does the cemetery belong to? When people get old, they like to recall the past and forget it for a while. β
"Yes, it should be a row behind your husband's grave, three to the right."
Roy said.
Avra tilted her head and pondered for a few seconds and said, "I don't remember, but I can be sure that the cemetery is very old, and the tombstone is very old. β
"Are there any obvious markings? For example, badges, names. β
"Because it's very old, I remember that its tombstones are very old, it should be some years."
Avra recalled, then thought for a moment and picked up the pen and drew quickly.
A few seconds later, a picture of a tombstone emerged.
"That's all I can think of, maybe you can come with me and see the tombstones," she said. β
"Not necessarily still."
Roy shook his head.
If he belonged to the Spirit Order, he would definitely not leave the tombstone.
He carefully observed Mrs. Avra's pattern.
This tombstone......
It may not seem like the Eggers family, but it bears a resemblance to Mr. Azik's family coat of arms in Tingen.
This is also his descendant?
Roy pondered for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Mrs. Avra, I'll look it up." β
"Thanks, I hope the evil ones will be purified soon."
Avra bowed deeply and then looked back to the front of the church, "Thank you too, merciful Mother Earth. β
Roy holding the pendant.
At the moment, the pendant turns counterclockwise.
Then, the pendant turns clockwise again.
He put it away suddenly.
"If you're not in a hurry to go back, I'd suggest you stay here for a few days to avoid any accidents when you get back to town."
"My grandson is still waiting for me at home."
Avra shook her head.
"Then I'll send you back, they may have realized the problem, and they can also go to the cemetery to have a look."
Roy's eyes were deep.
He was also curious......
What the Spirit Order wants to do when they collect the descendants of "Eggers".
Previously the lead dancer.
Now it's another bunch of resurrected corpses.
Cult of the Artificial Reaper?
Or do they want to find Mr. Azik with the help of the corpse?
Roy guessed inwardly.
Avra hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Thank you, sir." β
"I'll talk to the priest first."
Roy laughed.
He went to the priest's side, told him what had just happened, and then went to the back to prepareβ
The main thing is to enter the mysterious temple and confirm whether this trip is safe or dangerous.
The end result is:
There may be some twists and turns, but nothing dangerous.
Of course.
He didn't forget to send a letter to Bernadette, telling her that he might have to go out and asking her to pay more attention.
If you need help......
You have to get there as soon as possible!
Roy took his things and walked out of Harvest Chapel and followed Lady Avra into the public carriage to town.
The name of the town is Elmas.
The name of the town means the sea -
The town is not far from Prydz Port, and on some hills you can indeed see the outlet of the Tasok River to the sea.
There is still some distance in the past.
He sat in his position and meditated with his eyes closed, keeping his spirit full and active, and avoiding accidents.
After sitting for an hour, Roy saw a beautiful town.
The town is located near the mouth of the Tasok River, with boats passing by and a relatively small harbour in the town.
Of course.
This is more of a transit and supply depot for some fishing boats, and most of the ships will go to the port of Prieze when they unload their cargo.
After getting out of the car, Avra took him to a mountain in the suburbs.
"Sir, this is where the cemetery is."
No need to be reminded, Roy has seen it-
Elmas Cemetery.
On its side, there was an emblem closer to that of Mr. Azik's family, but it was hidden, covered with dust and spiritually obscured.
The average person simply can't see it.
