Chapter 8: Lords and Staff
Inside, the sound of collisions and non-human voices roared one after another.
The flesh reshaping ritual is interrupted, and Garay's distortion is incomplete.
Although his reason can suppress his own desire to attack, it cannot suppress the stubborn resistance of another consciousness.
Especially when facing a threat to life, reason is instantly swallowed up by the instinct of survival, and the "white bone master" who condenses pure negative emotions takes over the body.
Heine retreated early to the door.
This is not cowardice, this is wisdom.
In the hallway, he cursively flipped through the manuscript in his hand.
At the top was a letter addressed to the old viscount, who the headmaster did not know had died yesterday.
Gary didn't know that the bone-buried ground was being washed by the Holy Light Railgun.
He passed out after dinner and woke up in the office, halfway through the ceremony.
In the past, Hunter used his position to transform the academy into a ceremonial ground, stopping the students on the surface and poisoning all the teachers.
The storage room is just a hub.
Garay will not be able to leave the academy until the ritual is complete, and will be able to wait until it is complete...... He won't be him anymore.
This is also the origin of the "Bone Dungeon" dungeon.
It is the dungeon where the Master of Bones is imprisoned.
Apart from these, most of the rest are bills, title deeds, paperwork, and correspondence.
Gary is trying to prove the legality and orderliness of the burial ground, and that he has never been tainted with any forbidden rituals.
Such a person ends up being tainted by an evil ritual and dying as a monster......
Heine sighed.
After five minutes, it was quiet inside.
A large amount of experience passed through the door and flowed into his body, as comfortable as drinking a sip of hot milk in the middle of winter.
Heine felt as if he had "risen a notch".
The body is lighter, the five senses are sharper, and the mind is much more active.
Listening to the fact that the two of them had habitually begun to summarize the complex (throw) plate (pot), saying where they didn't dodge and where they didn't cooperate well, and they didn't let go of even the slightest flaw, Heine said in his heart that their strength was really not unreasonable.
He pushed the door open, and Garay collapsed in a pool of blood.
He died with clear eyes and a look of relief and peace on his face.
After closing his eyes for him, Heine looked at the sheep.
The latter's already dilapidated armor was shattered to the ground, a rib was broken, and the cutting board was intact, worthy of a high-quality one-handed shield.
He has no feelings for the relics of the original owner's father, and if he destroys it, he will destroy it, but the skeleton is injured and distressing.
He performed a bone repair operation on the sheep, watched the bones recover little by little, and nodded with satisfaction.
Although the battle is not interfered, the damage management is still fine.
The Academy's most valuable things were on the surface, destroyed by the Holy Light Railgun, and the only thing of value left was part of Garay's book collection.
The three of them moved the books back and forth twice before they were removed, and finally they buried Garay in the center of the cemetery, and erected a sign, which was considered a consolation.
After one last look at the flattened boneland, Heine carried the unconscious Ciara to the broken bridge.
Fortunately, the fourth truncated bridge did not collapse until they reached the opposite bank.
It was still waiting for a coercive warrior to leap heroically towards itself.
……
When I arrived, the sky was already dark.
Heine settled Xiala in a clean room, and let the two skeletons continue to clean the house.
He casually got some things to satisfy his stomach, then cleaned up, looked at the blonde boy in the mirror, and suddenly felt a little strange.
At the academy, Siara said he was reserved and almost dull, like a boring middle-aged man.
But now, the eyes of the person in the mirror are a little brighter, and his face reveals a trace of vitality suitable for this age.
"After all, there is hope for life."
Throwing down the two skeletons that were emo, Heine rode to town.
The two seemed to realize that this was a different world rather than a game, and their conversation was full of sentimentality......
Anxiety with failing to clear browsing history and study materials.
Heine was once again fiercely empathetic.
When he first crossed over, he relied on these social death pictures to fight poison with poison, and only then did he get through the initial fear and confusion.
As he moved farther and farther from home, the conversation became quieter, but the two were unaware.
After leaving more than 100 meters, there was no sound at all.
Heine had some realization, it turned out that it was not the voice channel in his head, he just happened to be able to hear it.
……
Lord's Mansion, Study.
The new viscount, George Albert Severn, finished reading the letter and handed it to Donald, a staff member on the side.
Donald was an old man with gray hair, and he wore glasses to read carefully.
“…… Gary Githil, Rector of the Boneyard of the Dead...... Alice Gityl's husband, Hunter Githil is his father-in-law, and if I'm not mistaken, the Githiler family has a farm in the north? ”
"Yes, the supposedly haunted farm. My father was also troubled there when he was alive, and at least a hundred serfs died every year. ”
"I see, it is worthy of being a famous necromancer family in the McCala area, and even the headmaster of the burial ground has to join them."
"The Headmaster said that the Githils wanted to turn the academy into a tool for collecting money and conducting evil experiments, and he resisted for a long time, even killing his own wife and wearing the Curse of Reprimand—what do you think?"
"I'm skeptical, sir."
Donald rubbed the gold and red rings.
"The Mykala region used to be the site of war between the four kingdoms, and it was here that countless civilians were buried who died tragically, and it was their bones that caused the necromancers to run rampant in your territory, and if it weren't for the spread of the Holy Light teachings, there might be more than one Githil family here."
Seeing that the viscount was silent, the staff continued: "Last night's Holy Light trial has already explained everything, and you should ask the person who brought this letter what he saw.
Is this the self-justification of the innocent, or the sinner's predentary bite? It's hard not to think about the letter, the trial, and the coincidence of this expelled cadet. ”
The viscount stood up.
"Let Mr. Heine in."
……
A few minutes later, Heine sat down across from the viscount.
Donald was staring at him all the time, and his resistance was self-evident.
Heine had risen a level last night and was now sensitive to death, as well as to the light.
He noticed Donald's ring, a believer in the Eternal Dawn.
Little George is simply a younger version of the old viscount, looking more ambitious.
After the pleasantries, Heine, under George's questioning, recounted what he had seen—what Hunter had done, the flesh remodeling ritual, and what he had seen in the Headmaster's office.
He only stated the facts, did not express any opinions, and did not leave Donald a chance to prejudge his position before attacking.
Who hasn't watched a few BBC and CNN interviews......
Sure enough, after Heine finished speaking, he frowned.
"Sounds like you sympathize with the headmaster?"
"Your Excellency thinks I shouldn't sympathize with him?"
"No, I just think that ...... things have not been confirmed"
"Insofar as I have only stated the facts as I have seen, Your Excellency asserts that these are unproven—so you are merely doubting me? Where does your hostility come from? Because I'm from the Boneyard and you believe in the Light? ”
"No, I ......"
Donald was dumbfounded for a moment, but George said with interest: "Mr. Donald believes in the Holy Light?" ”
“…… Lord, this has nothing to do with this matter. ”
"Indeed."
George no longer looked at him, but turned to Heine.
"What do you think of Principal Garay's letter mentioning that he was framed by Hunt?"
"I agree with Principal Garay, who has taken out his heart and shown it to you. As an eyewitness, I can confirm that Hunt left the cellar with five unconscious teachers, and it was not too late for you to ask her again when Siara awoke. ”
The staff snorted coldly: "How can Your Excellency explain that these things are so coincidental? ”
"Let me first correct your Excellency for a mistake - first, my presence was not a coincidence, and I did not return to the burial place until three hours after the judgment had fallen.
"Secondly, let me add something that is not in this letter."
He pulled up his sleeve and pointed to his wrist.
"I've also fallen for the 'Soul Curse' mentioned in the letter."
