The Spirit World

Chapter 778 Professional Gravekeeper

"Who?" Pylos stared at Chang Yufeng from the windowsill. Pylos, who stuck his head out, was like a cuckoo painted with black paint. He stretched his neck as if to tell the time and shouted this sentence loudly.

This was the only sentence he could shout out clearly. He was too tired. If he continued to go without sleep, he would probably die.

It wasn't that his spirit couldn't bear it, but his body. His organs were failing a little bit every second, which was conveying his pain. However, because of the holy water, his organs were trying their best to repair themselves.

The heart, liver, and kidneys are experiencing a catastrophe that is difficult for ordinary people to bear every minute and every second.

"We don't accept archaeological commissions anymore..."

Skarner's physical fitness was much better than Pylos's, but he was obviously on the verge of collapse. The spells of the Quetzalcoatl Tomb actually counteracted the holy water, causing their recipients, Pylos and Skarner, to become the battlefield of a terrible battle of spells.

Chang Yufeng came to 202 Charles Street. He was wearing a black robe. Like all the perpetrators, he liked to use black to cover up his mystery.

Xun Huangying stood on his shoulder, the ice elf floated on his knees, and Xiao Lan was on his head. They were all wearing black robes with hoods covering their faces, and no one knew their identities.

Pylos and Skarna are no exception. Pylos is an archaeologist, so people who come to him usually have discovered some relatively large ancient tombs that require him to record and investigate.

Well, not all tombs are big tombs. Pylos will visit some small tombs. Even if some historical relics are unearthed in other places, Pylos will go there happily to take a color picture and bring back a picture.

"But they all say that only you can find that tomb!" Xiao Lan put his hand on his mouth and shouted like a megaphone: "You are the greatest archaeologist, right? You live here! There is an amazing tomb for you to find!"

After hearing this, Pylos and Skarner looked at each other. Their two bloodshot eyes looked scary no matter how they looked at them. They almost scared themselves.

Skarner nodded, signaling to Pylos to receive the guests first and talk later.

And Pylos nodded in agreement.

He shouted to Chang Yufeng downstairs: "He is the greatest archaeologist!"

He corrected Xiao Lan, shouting so hard that Xiao Lan almost fell off Chang Yufeng's head, and Skarner slapped his face, not knowing whether it was because he was too sleepy or because of Pylos's improper behavior at this time.

Pylos had already put on his clothes. He hurried downstairs and threw his cowboy hat on the hanger. The cowboy hat inherited from his master was shaking on the hanger. He was not as fast as Skarner and jumped downstairs directly and stood in front of Chang Yufeng.

Only then did he get a glimpse of Chang Yufeng's appearance.

Chang Yufeng was wearing a black wizard robe, with basically no other colors visible from head to toe. Only the pair of pointed shoes showing from under the robe showed that he was an imperial citizen.

There is also a chin that can be slightly seen under the hood. The chin is a bit sharp like a child's, so I guess he is not very old.

The three "elves" floating on Chang Yufeng's body were all dressed the same as him. Except for Xun Huangying who had obvious horns covering his hood, Xiao Lan and the Ice Elf were only different in size. Of course, if you really want to break it down, the Ice Elf is more or less chilly, so you can tell them apart more or less.

"Are you from the Adventurer's Guild?" Pylos walked down the stairs slowly, propping up his eyelids with both hands. His bloodshot eyes did not look good, but this could slightly distract him from the pain in his body, to the point that his head was really shaking.

Skarner opened the door, and Chang Yufeng noticed their weirdness at a glance, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he threw off his black robe, walked into the house, and ran into the somewhat scary Pylos.

"Wow...you're so scary..." Xiao Lan rolled and crawled and hid behind Chang Yufeng's head again.

“Hahahaha… That’s where you’re wrong… For a human who’s been cursed by this kind of spell to be able to live this long, it’s already a miracle…” Xun Huangying rolled on the ground laughing, and said with a rather amused smile on Chang Yufeng’s shoulder: “Hahahaha… It’s useless… We must find the caster of the spell. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it~”

Pylos and Skarner stood at the door, welcoming their guest Chang Yufeng in. Chang Yufeng looked at the display at 202 Charles Street and could only lower his head and slowly stop.

Memories are the most torturous thing. No matter how long they last, they will torture people beyond recognition.

"Was it found by the Adventurers' Guild? Or was it found by the Explorers' Guild?" Pylos put down his hand, shook his head, and violently shook his head. He forced himself to walk to Chang Yufeng's side and guided Chang Yufeng to sit down.

The act of receiving guests was like muscle memory, and there was no pain or inconvenience. However, Chang Yufeng did not sit down, nor did he answer.

"Or is it the Cultivator Association... Generally, discovering an ancient tomb requires approval from the association before I can go and look for it. If a private individual wants me to look for a tomb, they will also need to produce a certificate from the principality."

Pylos sat down, lowered his head, supported his aching head with his hands, stared at the marble floor with his eyes wide open.

"Otherwise I would be a tomb robber, which is not allowed, unless it is an ancient tomb that has been exposed and has not been reported in time. I can go and take a look, but I still need a certificate later."

"Ah...I really trouble you..." Xiao Lan looked around. The furnishings in this house were quite compact. This hall was also large enough to accommodate a lot of people, but it was a small house after all, not a large room. And Skarner was standing next to him, also a little shaky, and could only stand firm with all his strength.

"How can it be troublesome... As long as there is a real ancient tomb, we can get a certificate. Which association are you from..."

Pylos tilted his head and glanced at Chang Yufeng who was still standing with his red eyes, thinking that this child-like client might indeed be a little different from the others.

The "elf" with horns actually knew that he was under a curse, but they couldn't talk about their own affairs now. The discovery and treatment of the ancient tomb was the real big deal, at least for him...

"We are not an association at all..." The Ice Elf responded somewhat awkwardly.

This seemed to interrupt Xiao Lan's words. Xiao Lan hesitated and tilted her head and said, "Are you the greatest archaeologist?"

“The greatest archaeologist ever.”

Pylos corrected again with great energy.

"Okay..." Xiao Lan nodded. Seeing that Pylos was in pain with his head down, she said nothing more.

"This is a private commission. As for whether I can get a certificate for the ancient tomb, we'll talk about that later." Chang Yufeng's voice was deliberately deep, but it still couldn't eliminate the child's falsetto.

"No, there are only two kinds of certificates: the certificate can be issued and the certificate cannot be issued. If it can be issued, then say it can be issued. You cannot say you will talk about it later." Pylos corrected Chang Yufeng's words.

Maybe it's because of an occupational disease.

"Sir, we are not going to help you rob a tomb. Every country has criminalized robbing any tomb. I am an archaeologist, not a tomb robber. I can only go and take a look if I can get a certificate to enter the tomb."

Seeing that this "mysterious guest" remained silent, Pylos explained it again clearly: "Our principle is this..."

"As an archaeologist, I am an ancient tomb explorer who combines archaeological excavation and cultural relic protection. You are a private commission. In most cases, ancient tombs should appear in the places where your family or your own industry excavates. If it is the former, you can apply for cultural relic protection, because these are your ancestors' things, but they are exposed on the surface due to crustal movement and human activities. You can go there. In order not to destroy the ancient cultural relics, I can provide help. As for the latter, although the cultural relics do not belong to you and need to be collected in the museum, because they have delayed your homework and work, this is a rescue excavation, and the Principality will give compensation for the release."

"Do you understand what I said?"

Pylos raised his head formally, and his golden hair swung up like a golden sea. However, he looked so ugly that everyone looked at him in surprise.

The spots on his face, layer upon layer, like snake skin, slowly devoured his originally fair skin.

"Pylos!" Skarner shouted worriedly.

Pylos slowly stood up and said in a very small voice: "I am about to die... Hurry up, take out the paper and give me a piece of paper. I am going to start writing my will..."

Chang Yufeng and the others quietly looked at Pylos, whose eyes were about to go dark, and watched him calmly bury his face again...

"Young master... this..." Xiao Lan was shocked three times in a row. He was so scared that he peed his pants and rolled over to Chang Yufeng.

"Where did you go..."

Only then did Chang Yufeng notice Pylos's embarrassment.

This curse from the Quetzalcoatl's tomb tormented them for seven days and seven nights. Although they had the help of holy water, in the end, it seemed that the curse prevailed.

This was not a good thing. For a mortal like Pylos, this was too painful. The snake skin that had begun to mutate was almost driving Pylos crazy.

It was like every pore was pricking Pylos and Skarner's faces with needles, then popping their hair follicles to insert the flat snake scales.

"We went to Quetzalcoatl's tomb..."

Pylos opened the pen cap and gently printed the words written by the quill pen on it.
