Chapter 1905 Grave Digging
Hyrule finished his narration, holding a shovel in both hands, looking at Joan, Audrey and Holden.
"I've already said what I need to say. The situation is like this. If you don't object, I will continue to dig the grave. I must take out my mother's ashes jar before dawn and restore the grave to its original state so as not to alarm me. Dad or the servants in the castle, hinder our follow-up actions."
"Since this is the case, let me help you dig your grave."
Joan opened the storage bag, took out the "see-through hand mirror", and looked at Mrs. Nanna's tomb again and again. Through the mounds of dirt, she could clearly see the coffin buried in the mud.
Putting away the "see-through hand mirror", Joan waved Hailaer and the Zion siblings to back away for a distance, took out a tube of sealed clay from the spell-casting material bag, held it in his hand and rubbed it gently.
"Odon!"
Qiao An chanted a short incantation softly, and cast the 5-ring spell "Fosmise into Mud" on the ground behind the tombstone, which was slightly larger than the size of the coffin, and turned this small piece of ground together with the hard sand layer ten feet deep below, Transforms into soft mud.
"Ráve!"
Joan chanted another incantation symbolizing thunder, and shaped a giant silver palm out of thin air.
Joan remotely controlled the "Mage Thunder Palm" to probe into the quagmire, and according to the positioning coordinates provided by the "perspective hand mirror", accurately salvaged Mrs. Nanna's coffin, dragged it out of the quagmire, and carefully placed it in front of Hailar.
Hailaer nodded to Joan to express his thanks, and then performed the "percussion technique" by himself, waved his hand and snapped his fingers, and the nails nailed to the coffin board bounced up.
Audrey and Holden helped Hailar push away the heavy coffin lid, and a cold negative energy mixed with the smell of damp soil hit his face.
Fortunately, Mrs. Nanna practiced cremation, and there were no dead bodies or other unbearable odors in the coffin.
"What a strong negative energy..."
Audrey looked at the black urn placed in the center of the various funerary utensils, and couldn't help frowning.
"Haira, I know this question is very impolite, but I am really puzzled. Why do you use a container carved from black agate to collect your mother's ashes? The person who made this decision didn't know that black agate is easy Absorbing negative energy, accumulating negative energy for many years, may eventually transform the soul of the dead into an incorporeal undead creature?"
"Using a black agate container to hold the ashes is my mother's explicit request in her suicide note. Papa Heleer also has the same concerns as you, but he can't disrespect my mother's dying wishes."
Hailar shrugged and spread his hands.
"But why did your mother make such a strange request, which doesn't seem to conform to her druid beliefs?"
As a paladin, Audrey's job was to suppress souls and exorcise spirits. Although she was embarrassed to tell Hylarming, she felt that she had made it very clear.
The soul of Mrs. Nanna did not return to the embrace of Mother Nature, but was attached to a black agate urn like a barrier, absorbing negative energy from the depths of the earth for more than ten years.
Audrey even suspected that Mrs. Nanna's soul had been transformed into a "ghost". As long as she wanted to, she could wake up from her slumber at any time, leave the urn, and wander around the world, posing a fatal hidden danger to the living.
"My mother hopes to keep a trace of her soul in the urn. In this way, when I find my father's bones in the future, the couple will have the opportunity to reunite as dead souls. Only when this long-cherished wish is fulfilled can my mother be willing." Rest in peace." Hailar held his mother's urn with both hands, with a mournful expression.
Audrey sighed sympathetically, took off the golden holy emblem hanging around her neck, and handed it to Hyrule.
"This is the holy emblem of my lord Pelor. It has a 4-ring divine spell 'Death Barrier'. You should keep it close to your body, just in case."
Her Royal Highness said this very implicitly.
The so-called "just in case" is actually to prevent Hailaer from being corrupted, bewitched, or even directly seized by the mother's ghost, and forcibly occupying her body.
Hailar smiled gratefully, shook his head and said, "You gave me the holy emblem, how can you cast spells yourself?"
"You don't have to worry about that. My shield, armor and sword hilt are all engraved with the emblem of Old Man Sun. Although I don't have the enchantment 'Death Barrier', fortunately, they can all perform the functions that an ordinary holy emblem should have. .”
Hyrule hesitated for a moment, and finally returned the enchanted holy emblem to Audrey.
"I don't need to guard against my mother, Audrey, I believe that my mother's soul will never harm me."
"The soul of the deceased is polluted by negative energy, so it cannot be guessed by common sense. If your mother has lost the memory of her life, how can she care about the relationship between mother and daughter? Hailar, you are too irrational!" Audrey couldn't help it He wanted to get angry, but was stopped by his brother.
"Old sister, I beg you, please don't say a few words! Take a step back and say, even if 'Sister Cai Mi' is really possessed by Mrs. Nanna's ghost, with us by her side, there is nothing to worry about."
Joan nodded in agreement with Holden. Even if Hailar is possessed by his mother's dead soul, he can drive it away as long as he uses the 4th ring "Resist Evil".
"Oh, I really can't do anything about you!" Audrey took back the enchanted holy emblem and sighed helplessly.
Joan remote-controlled the giant magic palm, slapped the nails back to the coffin board one by one, grabbed the coffin and stuffed it back into the tomb, and finally made a "turn mud into stone" to counteract the magical effect of "turn stone into mud" and make the mud turn back to the coffin. Sandy texture.
As soon as he finished his busy work here, a black and white figure flew in the night sky, retracted its wings and landed in front of the tombstone, but it was a seagull with a gray back and white belly, its eyes glowed slightly in the night, and it looked extraordinarily energetic.
"Miss Kate! Miss Kate!" Dolly the parrot saw the seagull, and immediately shouted happily.
The seagull nodded slightly at Dolly, golden light burst out all over her body suddenly, and her body swelled and elongated rapidly, transforming from a seagull into a beautiful girl in a gray swallowtail dress in an instant.
"Miss Kate, I'm ready here." Hailar held up the black agate urn and shook it at Ms. Seagull, "Did you bring the boat ticket?"
Kate nodded and handed Hailar four tickets.
"The expedition ship I hired for you is called Coral. It is a steam-sail hybrid and can sail around the clock."
"There are a total of ten crew members on this sailboat, including the captain Odysseus, eight experienced sailors, and a cook named Sinbad." Ms. Kate groaned, and then added: "I dare not say The crew are all 100% reliable, at least Captain Odysseus and the fat cook named Sinbad are trustworthy, Hyrule, you know what I mean?"
