This must be the corpse carriage that Eric just mentioned. Of course, the driver didn't notice anyone peeping in the grass on the side of the road. The car continued to move slowly, turning off the main road into the side of Kamikochi. Now, Ashrufat could clearly see that the car was full of corpses.

Driven by the whip, the two horses mustered up their strength and pulled the heavy cart up the high ground, and finally stopped at the edge of the hut.

The driver was supposed to use some kind of mechanism installed in the car and unload all the bodies at once. All of the corpses were stripped naked, but a few were also dressed in tattered, filthy, worthless clothing.

The coachman, who was no doubt familiar with the situation, simply shouted into the hut, turned the car around, and left unhurriedly.

"Would you like to go and see, master?" suggested Carrie in mind. "Did you just notice the body in the car...... To say that it was a death from hunger, thirst and disease is not quite like that. It's more like being executed. ”

Indeed, although it was only for a short time, the corpses did not look like they had been killed. Because the appearance of the deceased did not look particularly thin.

"Well, go check it out. Ashrufaat was also a little curious. After the corpse car was far away, when he came to the edge of the hut again, he saw Scarlet digging with a shovel on the side.

Now I don't need to ask him what his job here is. It's not that Ashrufat hasn't seen the collection of corpses (this kind of work is a common thing after the war), but to be honest, there is a very disobedient feeling when I see a girl doing this kind of thing. Scarlet also saw him, but he didn't speak, just silently continued to dig the ground.

"Do you want my help?" asked Ashrufat casually.

"No, it's done in half a day. Scarlet replied. "I dug about 20 graves yesterday. But today I sent more than I expected. ”

"I'll come. Ashrufat tried to snatch the shovel from her, but Scarlet held on. Ashrufat could see a clear alertness in her eyes - no matter what Eric thought, the girl clearly distrusted her.

"I'll do it myself!" she said, holding the shovel, refusing to budge.

Ashrufat chuckled, then grabbed the wind of life. A foul oil squeezed into his pores, causing him to feel a wave of disgusting disgust. The feeling of nausea was related to the wind of magic he was exposed to.

He pointed to the ground, and the magical energy that lurked in the depths of the earth was detonated by him. In fact, he is very unskilled in manipulating this kind of magic wind, but at the moment he is more than able to use it. The earth sprayed straight up from the ground, creating a deep pit that could bury people with each blow.

It was only in the blink of an eye. From the outside, he just clicked a few times at the ground.

"That's it. Ashrufat said to Scarlet. She stared at him with wide eyes, as if he were a red viper.

"Magic ...... You're a magician?"

Ashruphat did not answer, but walked over to the pile of corpses. Now he could take the opportunity to drag the bodies into the tomb and carefully examine them one by one. And it definitely won't arouse Scarlet's curiosity.

The cause of death of the first body was traumatic injuries, as his skull was broken as a result of a brawl or because a rock fell from a height. The second one was simpler, with a very clear large wound in the neck, and a stake was still stuck there.

But if the cause of death can still be seen in these two bodies, it is difficult to explain the subsequent corpses. More than twenty bodies in a row, both male and female, were all intact, with no external injuries and no visible signs of injury left by disease and hard labor. The only thing they had in common was that they were all dead, and the expressions on the faces of the deceased indicated that they were in considerable pain before they died.

"Carrie, can you see what's going on?" Ashrufat asked in his mind.

"The host...... This looks ...... It's dying from some kind of powerful radiation ray!"

"Radiation rays? What does that mean?"

"Hmm...... The relevant noun explains that you do not have authority...... In words you can understand, it is an energy that cannot be seen or touched! This energy is highly toxic to ordinary people. These people stay in this poison for too long, causing their bodies to be eroded by the poison. ”

That is, they are doomed...... The people of the church know that they will die?"

"People in the church don't necessarily know the Word...... In fact, if the working hours of the poison were reduced and they had enough time to rest to expel the poison that had invaded the body, it would not be so serious. It's okay to have them dressed in anti-radiation clothing...... But it seems that the gods of the star field don't have this motivation at all. Because it's better for them to do so. ”

"What is more beneficial?" It stands to reason that the decline in labor due to death should be a big problem.

"Because in this case, whatever they dig up will die quickly. Any secret will be hidden forever, and outsiders will not know it. Although it is said that some workers will die, it is a good deal compared to the safety it brings. ”

"Then what do they do with humans......" Ashruphat felt a sudden burst of anger.

"If there is particular hostility and hatred, there is no such thing. It's just that in the eyes of the immortal, mortals who are destined to die are as lowly as ants!" Carrie replied in a calm voice. "They just deserve to be used and ravaged. ”

Ashrufat pulled a corpse into a dirt pit again. The deceased was a pot-bellied woman, and unlike the other deceased, her face was more relieved than painful. She rested one hand on her lower abdomen, as if she had been caressing her stomach before she died, and finally remained in this position and died stiffly.

"Master, it's a pregnant woman. In her head, Carrie explained.

"Shut up!" Ashruphat yelled at Carrie in his mind. Although he was not actually hopeful, he reached out and touched the deceased's stomach. It was cold and dead, and there was no sign of life anymore. This is not surprising, the woman must have been dead for a day or two—the mother is dead, and there is no chance that the unborn child will be spared.

Ashruphat silently placed the dead in the pit, and then walked towards the pile of corpses with heavy steps. There were only two corpses left, so Ashrufat simply dragged them away at once.

"Forty-three in all," Carrie began to count after finishing the work of burying the corpses. "Two died from trauma, twenty-seven from radiation, and all the rest died from disease. The cause of the disease was preliminarily determined to be complications caused by diet and hard labor, and no malignant infectious disease was found for the time being! In other words, except for two who died of trauma, it is impossible to determine that the others died of abuse. ”

"Carrie. Ashrufat suddenly said in his mind.

"Here, master, what do you command?"

"I decided to go and see what they were digging up there!" said Ashrufat in a calm voice in his mind. With that, he once again caught the wind of magic. Use the power of magic to fill all the holes at once.

When he first came to this cemetery, he didn't feel the "resentment of the dead" that Carrie was talking about, but for some reason he could clearly feel it at this time. It was the sound of crying in my ears, like an illusion, but lingering.

"The rest is up to you. He turned back to Scarlet and said. During the whole process just now, Scarlet was stunned and just watched as Ashrufat finished the work. Now that the work is done, it's just a matter of simply erecting a tombstone.

"What do you mean!" Suddenly, Scarlet suddenly became angry and threw the shovel in his hand to the ground. "Do you pity me?"

"It's not that I pity you, it's just that this thing is not suitable for girls to do!" Ashruphat didn't react for a moment.

"How can a fool like you, who pursues a boring goal like 'eternal life', know what is suitable and what is not!" Scarlet looked at Ashruphat viciously, the anger in his eyes was not disguised. Although Ashrufat didn't know why he had such a big temper.

"Well, master, now you should be graceful and smiling. In my mind, Carrie reminded.

"Well, since that's the case, then even if you owe me this time, it's good to pay me back next time you have a chance. Ashrufat replied. "It's time for me to go. ”

He turned away. Scarlet didn't say anything more, but watched his figure disappear away until Ashrufat's figure disappeared from the edge of the high ground, completely out of sight.

It's already dark.

Ashrufat stood on a small high ground, and the castle in the distance was clearly visible. And in front of him to the right is the excavation site - rather than an excavation site, it is better to describe this place as a "giant pit". In the center of the crater, a large object can be faintly seen. It seems that the purpose of digging the pit is to unearth this thing. However, although a considerable part of it had been dug up, Ashrufat could not see what it was.

He wasn't worried about anyone finding him. At this time, the entire construction site was empty, and there were no prisoners or guards. It's easy to understand, because no one wants to stay in this horrible place for even a second longer. When the time came for the end of work, everyone couldn't wait to leave.

"Carrie, do you know what this is," Carrie explained in her mind,

"Hmm...... It's hard to tell. Carrie said, "Master, shall we take a closer look?"

Ashrufat walked to the middle of the crater. It's easy for him because he can jump to heights that ordinary people can't jump over, or climb over obstacles that can't be climbed.

"Master, the radiation here is very strong. Carrie said. "I feel that the radiation intensity of this circle is different, and here on the left side the radiation is particularly strong, and it has reached the point of death. Those who died should have been forced to work here. ”

He came closer, and now he saw that the pit was not dug flat, but in the center of the pit, around the huge object, there were many tunnels dug down into the cavern. From this point of view, the purpose of excavation is not necessarily to dig up this object, but to find something from this object.
