Chapter 196: Tomb 2
Su Lun waited for a while, but Morse still didn't change his words. It seemed that Morse didn't lie.
He asked the ghost wolf to stop, walked up to Morse and asked: "Explain clearly, why can only nobles become tomb evil ghosts?"
He was also a little curious about this, because he hadn't seen any similar records.
Morse was afraid that he would be eaten, so he immediately explained: "Legend has it that the vampire king sprinkled his blood into the soil, and people of noble status will become servants of the vampire king after hundreds of years of death."
Su Lun nodded slightly in his heart when he heard this. It sounds possible. After all, this is a world with extraordinary power.
He continued to ask: "Why are only noble people allowed to become tomb evil ghosts, and why don't ordinary people change?"
He looked at Morse. If Morse didn't explain clearly, the ghost wolf would really eat him.
"Ordinary people don't change, but become low-level monsters like skeletons. Moreover, not all noble people will become tomb ghosts. I don't know the specific situation."
While explaining, Morse observed the surroundings with the corner of his eyes, trying to find a chance to escape, but with the ghost wolf, he would be caught even if he escaped.
The cold wind blew by the side, and the roar of wild beasts came from the distance from time to time. This is not a good place to talk.
Su Lun stared at Morse for a while. This person couldn't be just an ordinary refugee. Ordinary people don't know these things.
The cave of the cemetery is right next to it. If Ruge and Morse go down together, Morse may run away. It's better to find someone to help.
Su Lun found a vine to tie Morse up and took people back to the previous village.
The village is still the same. No one pays attention to what happened in the forest.
Gero has been guarding the entrance of the village. He saw Su Lun and rushed over immediately.
"Master, are you okay? I'll go find a doctor for you right away." Gro saw that the armor on Su Lun was covered with scars and knew that something must have gone wrong.
However, Su Lun stopped him and said, "Don't worry about me in advance. Go back and find a team of people. I have injured a monster in the oak forest. You must kill it before it recovers."
Normally, he cannot mobilize the soldiers in the castle, but when he is sure that the monster is seriously injured, he can still send people to kill it. This is also for the sake of the territory.
After Gro confirmed that what Su Lun said was true, he began to return to the castle at least, and Su Lun took Morse to wait in the village.
Su Lun found a pair of shackles and handcuffs in the village for Morse to wear. In order to capture criminals, almost every village has these things.
With these, Morse gave up the hope of escaping directly. He couldn't even get rid of the shackles on his body.
Not long after, Gro brought a dozen soldiers to the village. These soldiers were all wearing armor and were the elite in the castle.
One of the soldiers asked Su Lun, "Excuse me, sir, what kind of creature is the monster you are talking about?"
"It's a tomb evil ghost. You will know if you follow me." Su Lun handed Morse to Gro and said, "Keep an eye on this man."
He handed the man over, took a torch and walked towards the oak forest again with a group of soldiers.
He had walked the road in the forest twice and was now very familiar with it. He soon found the place where the previous battle took place, as well as the cemetery and the cave entrance.
"Everyone pay attention, the monster is in this cave." Su Lun said as he lit a torch and walked into the cave with a group of soldiers.
The soldiers did not dare to neglect it and drew their swords to prepare to meet the enemy.
The cave was extremely dark, and occasionally a few small bats would fly out, but fortunately the cave was large, so they were not restricted.
Su Lun, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped. A little light appeared in front of him. Judging from the shape, it should be the long sword he had inserted into the tomb evil ghost before.
They slowly approached, and when they got close to the place where the light was reflected, they found that the tomb evil ghost was dead.
Su Lun observed carefully and found that the monster was indeed dead.
The body of the tomb evil ghost had been rotten due to toxins, but most of its structure was still intact.
"I wonder if it is still possible to extract blood from it."
Su Lun was a little worried. It would be bad if he wasted so much effort but got nothing.
He walked to the back of the tomb evil ghost and pulled his sword out of the monster.
After wiping the long sword with a cloth, Su Lun said to the soldiers around him: "Investigate the surroundings carefully and don't miss any corners."
He also took a torch and looked around.
This tomb is not very deep, but the walls around it are made of stone bricks. This is a carefully designed tomb, but the tomb evil ghost dug a big hole. Except for the exit hole, Su Lun did not find any passage to enter or exit.
Su Lun walked to the wall next to him, he stretched out his hand and wiped it on the stone turn. Suddenly, the stone brick was scratched by his fingers. A lot of dirt and debris fell to the ground.
It has been a long time since this tomb was built. Although it is not known exactly when it was built, it has been at least hundreds of years.
Su Lun continued to walk around and soon found a coffin.
There were many gorgeous patterns on the surface of the coffin, and there were many jewelry decorations on it. The person buried must have been very rich when he was alive.
The coffin was open. Su Lun looked forward and found that it was empty. The owner inside had disappeared long ago.
Su Lun looked at the fallen grave ghost. What Morse said was true. It was indeed the owner of this cemetery who turned into this monster.
Su Lun's mind was filled with historical records about his family. The Leon family he belonged to had been multiplied for seven generations. When the earliest ancestor of the Leon family took over the earldom, this place was already managed by the earl.
The Bagley Kingdom to which his earldom belonged was only established for a few hundred years. The owner of this cemetery might have been a noble here before the establishment of the kingdom.
Because there was too little information, Su Lun couldn't guess who the owner of this cemetery was and when, but it was certain that this place definitely had a history of hundreds of years.
Moreover, this world was full of wars. Whether it was wars between different races or wars among humans, the kingdom might be destroyed in an instant, not to mention a small earl.
"Gold! There is so much gold here!" A soldier on the side suddenly shouted.
They found a pile of gold and silver jewelry packed in earthenware jars. These jewelry sparkled under the light of torches, attracting everyone's attention.
