Chapter 143 You Can Live a Little Longer

Before Haner could say anything, Wu Chang expressed his loyalty to Bishop Hunguan and Duke Luz in the car.

"Don't worry, my Excellencies. As the gravekeeper of Cemetery No. 44, I promise to find the graves you both desire, so that you can rest in peace and smile in the afterlife."

Duke Lutz was in a high position, but he was able to keep his composure. However, Bishop Hun Guang was a little bit nervous. He looked at Han Er and asked:
"Is this your successor?"

Haner nodded and introduced: "He is Sean, a very motivated young man who is traveling around the world and happened to visit Mikel."

Bishop Hun Guang's expression improved a little. It made sense that he was a foreigner and not familiar with the language of the Mikel Kingdom.

Luz turned his head to look at the moon. He didn't want to waste time on unimportant things, so he urged, "We should act now."

Lord Hun Guang understood and turned to look at the two of them. "It's getting late. You will lead the way in a while. When I say stop, you will stop. Don't worry about what we are doing and don't do anything unnecessary. Do you understand?"

Seeing Wu Chang and Han Er nod, Bishop Hunguan ordered the knights to take action.

Nine knights came to the small church near Cemetery No. 44, waving hammers in their hands and knocking on the thin walls of the small church.

Wu Chang acted like a dutiful gravekeeper and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, Your Excellency, what are they doing?"

Bishop Hun Guang glanced at Wu Chang and said expressionlessly: "Remember what I said just now? Don't worry about what we are doing. Just do your own thing."

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Okay, you are the Party A, I'll listen to you."

Nine strong knights quickly demolished the chapel. Several of them cleared the ruins of the building and the bodies that had not yet been buried, and began to swing hammers and continue to hit the floor of the chapel.

As the floor was broken, a huge pit was revealed underneath. Inside the pit were ten sarcophagi. The manufacturing specifications of the sarcophagi were exactly the same as those of the sarcophagi in the Tomb of Eternal Life.

Wu Chang looked at Han Er in confusion, asking with his eyes what was going on.

Han Er spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

The sarcophagus in the chapel must have been arranged a long time ago, even longer than the emergence of the Soul Light Sect.

The knights dragged the sarcophagus out of the ground and tied it to the back of the carriage with an iron chain. When everything was ready, Bishop Hunguang took out a map of Cemetery No. 44.

The map divided Cemetery No. 44 into ten blocks, eight of which were marked with obvious Xs in red pen, leaving only the two innermost cemeteries without any marks.

Bishop Hunguan ordered Wu Chang and Han Er to move towards two blank areas.

Wu Chang and Han Er walked in front, and only saw Bishop Hun Guang and the Knights following behind.

The most eye-catching ones were the two accompanying carriages. Each carriage was pulled by four horses. Each horse was of a different species and was exceptionally tall, with its back alone being nearly two meters from the ground.

Only such huge horses could pull the carriage and five sarcophagi at the same time.

The Kingdom Cemetery is responsible for burying the dead of the entire Mikel Kingdom. Anyone with a slightly wealthy family in the kingdom will come to Serina before they die and try to be buried in the Kingdom Cemetery.

Moreover, cremation is not popular in the Mikel Kingdom, and burial takes up a lot of space. Even though the kingdom's cemetery is not small, it is extremely crowded after years of accumulation.

Except for the specially reserved driveway, there is no road and the numerous tombstones make it impossible for a carriage to pass through.

But in front of the giant horse whose legs alone were nearly two meters long, these were not a problem. The two carriages followed Wu Chang and Han Er, shuttling directly through the tombs. The carriages and the sarcophagi towed behind them completely crushed all the tombstones they encountered.

Wherever the carriage passed, it left behind a pile of tombstone fragments.

Wu Chang frowned and couldn't help but speak up for his owner. "Your Excellency, the carriage is not suitable for passing through. We can change the route. It is not appropriate to destroy the tombstone of the deceased."

The bishop's face looked a little ugly, and he said, "Gravekeeper Sean, I don't want to repeat it many times, don't worry about what we are doing, just do your own thing."

Wu Chang sighed, "Okay, you have the final say."

Not long after entering the cemetery, perhaps as a prelude to a storm, the full moon above our heads slowly turned into a crescent.

As the full moon waned, thick fog rose from the cemetery, blocking everyone's view.

Wu Chang lit the gravekeeper's oil lamp, and the thick fog dissipated instantly wherever the light reached. He moved closer to Haner and let the light cover the two of them. He was going to ask Bishop Hunguang if the team needed to shrink their formation and stay within the light range as much as possible.

But when he turned around, he found that the archbishop and nine knights, including two coachmen driving the carriage, had lit a gravekeeper's oil lamp.

The lights from the oil lamps merged into one, making it difficult for the thick fog to approach the convoy.

The gravekeeper's oil lamps are not produced casually. They were designed by scholars during the reign of Mikel I to cooperate with the blood moon's immortality.

Each gravekeeper's oil lamp is an antique that has been passed down for hundreds of years. One person is responsible for one job, and the royal family only has five spare oil lamps. Due to accidental damage over the years, it is said that only one spare oil lamp is left.

Judging from the effect of dispersing the dense fog, the oil lamps used by the Soul Light Bishops are definitely genuine. Where did they get the oil lamps from?
As we all know, the gravekeeper's oil lamp can only be lit in two situations.

One possibility is that the user is the gravekeeper, and the other possibility is that the gravekeeper position is vacant and the oil lamp has no owner.

Wu Chang glanced at Bishop Hun Guang's oil lamp. There was fresh blood that had not been wiped clean at the corners of the lamp base. The origin of the oil lamp was self-evident.

Traveling through the thick fog, there was dead silence all around, and the sound of the carriage crushing the tombstones became particularly harsh.

Wu Chang suddenly stopped where he was, and almost collided with Bishop Hun Guang who had been following him.

"What's wrong?" asked Bishop Hun Guang.

"Your Excellency, I think their behavior is inappropriate. We will all be residents here in the future, and we will see each other every day. Besides, they are too noisy, and it is easy to..."

Bishop Hunguang was annoyed and shouted, "Listen carefully, gravekeeper, you made me repeat myself too many times. I said..."

“Do you see the moon?”

Bishop Soul Light: "No, and don't interrupt me! I..."

Ok?
Bishop Hunguan was stunned in the middle of his speech. The voice that interrupted him just now did not seem to be Wu Chang's.

Before entering the kingdom's cemetery, he carefully read the taboos of the gravekeepers' night patrols, which seemed to mention that one should not answer questions from strangers.

broken.

Before Bishop Hunguang could prepare, he flew up into the air. A huge hand of flesh and blood made of thorns emerged from under him, pushed him into the air, and then grabbed him tightly while he was unable to react.

The thorns that served as sutures on the fleshy hands came alive and drilled into the body of Bishop Soul Light like centipedes.

"Help!"

Following Bishop Soul Light's cry for help, several knights who followed behind took action, especially the five old nobles who pretended to be knights, who dismembered the bloody hand with one move.

Because the blood moon had not yet appeared, the giant hand of flesh and blood was cut into dozens of pieces and did not resurrect immediately.

Although everyone acted in time, after being squeezed and pierced by the big hands, two of Bishop Hunguang's ribs were broken, and his limbs, shoulders and mouth were pierced by thorns, leaving large bloody holes.

Wu Chang looked at the miserable state of Bishop Hun Guang, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I want to remind you that making a sound at this time will attract these monsters."

"I wuwuwuwuwu…."

Bishop Hunguang, whose mouth was drilled with a huge bloody hole, spoke very unclearly, but judging from his expression and eyes, he must have cursed quite harshly.

Duke Lutz's voice came from inside the carriage.

"First, take Bishop Reeves back to the carriage for treatment, then disperse the formation and dispel everything that's blocking the way."

An ordinary knight of the Soul Light Sect helped the Soul Light Bishop back to the carriage to treat his wounds. The other knights scattered everywhere and began to investigate carefully.

I don’t know if it was because they listened to Wu Chang’s advice, but the two drivers began to choose wider roads to travel on, reducing the damage to the tombstone.

After the strategy changed, or in other words, after Bishop Hun Guang left the scene, the group encountered no more obstacles along the way, and they quickly arrived at the designated location.

Luz walked out of the carriage, pointed at Wu Chang and Han Er, and said, "It's almost time. You two should check around and see if you can find anything unusual."

The two of them quickly inspected the last two areas according to the map marked by Bishop Hun Guang. Wu Chang asked in a low voice:

"Since they have already confirmed the location, why do they need our involvement?"

Haner said, "Because we are grave keepers. The Tomb of Eternal Life they are looking for is very special. It is the core of the entire cemetery and is protected by the Blood Moon Ritual. They cannot find it. Only the grave keepers in charge of this area can find some clues with the power granted by the ritual."

When Wu Chang walked to the innermost part of the first unmarked cemetery, he suddenly had an inspiration and noticed that there seemed to be traces of a door on the ground not far away.

He suppressed his active inspiration with his will, and then looked with his naked eyes, and saw nothing unusual.

"Brother Han Er, look over there, can you see anything?" Han Er looked in the direction Wu Chang pointed. He stared for a minute with wide eyes, then shook his head and said, "I don't see anything. It seems that only the current gravekeeper can find the entrance to the special eternal life tomb."

Wu Chang first asked Han Er to stay away. If the Tomb of Eternal Life was dug out later and Duke Luz turned against them and wanted to kill them, he should let Han Er protect himself first and not worry about him.

Then he circled around, allowing Irene and True Self to seize advantageous positions. Once a fight broke out, they could catch the opponent by surprise.

Seeing that everyone had taken their positions, he returned to the team and said to Luz:
"Your Excellency the Duke, I found an unusual tomb. I wonder if it is what you are looking for."

Luz's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, "Go and take a look first."

Wu Chang led everyone to the designated location. Luz and several nobles disguised as knights took turns approaching to confirm.

These monsters who had experienced the first blood moon's eternal life were extremely sensitive to the blood moon's energy. Just like Pasto, they could, to some extent, find other eternal life cemeteries through their perception of the blood moon's energy.

But like Haner, they did not find anything unusual.

But sometimes, the absence of abnormalities is the biggest abnormality.

Luz personally handed a hoe to Wu Chang and said, "Dig!"

Wu Chang looked at the hoe in his hand, looking embarrassed. "The commission only asked me to open the door, but didn't mention digging a hole. Digging a hole is a physical job, so I have to pay extra."

Without further ado, Luz took off the jewel ring on his hand and threw it to Wu Chang.

"dig!"

"Item name: Precious jewel ring."

"Item Description: This is a property that has been officially transferred by its owner. It is very valuable and can be exchanged for one thousand decayed silver coins at the system recycling merchant."

Wu Chang put on the ring, immediately swung the hoe and started digging the hole.

One thousand rotten silver coins for one pit. If the price is this high, he can dig up the entire cemetery in the kingdom!
Ten minutes later, a crisp collision sound was heard from the hole dug by Wu Chang.

The sound instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Luz was the first to rush over with a shovel in hand. He was so fast that Wu Chang could hardly see him clearly. Just based on this unintentional explosive power, Luz's performance was no less than Lei Hu's on the first day.

Several disguised knights followed closely behind, and a group of nobles, as if they were trying to steal the business from Wu Chang, dug holes with all their might.

Soon, an extremely gorgeous metal tomb door appeared in front of Wu Chang and others.

The difference between the doors of the two eternal life tombs that Wu Chang had seen before and the door in front of him was as great as that between a promotional leaflet and a buyer's show.

Luz turned his head and looked at Wu Chang excitedly, "Open it!"

Wu Chang took out the key that Han Er had given him before and inserted it into the door of the tomb.

The key model was wrong, the tooth shape was wrong, even the style of the key and the door were wrong, but the strange thing was that it could actually be turned after being inserted.

With the clicking sound of gears turning and the friction of metal plates, the door of the tomb under everyone's feet opened.

Wu Chang shouted inside: "Is anyone home? There are several tenants who want to share the house with you. Do you have any objection?"

His voice echoed in the tomb, but no sound came from inside.

"It seems he has no objection."

Luz and others did not notice Wu Chang's actions. They unloaded the sarcophagus they were dragging, and Luz took out an extra-large sarcophagus that belonged to him from the carriage he was riding in.

A group of people dragged eleven sarcophagi into the tomb of eternal life.

As soon as they entered the Tomb of Eternal Life, they saw a golden throne placed in the center of the tomb. A man with a majestic face, wearing a crown and wearing golden full body armor was sitting on it, overlooking everything in the tomb.

Wu Chang had seen this man in the Resentment of the Miracle Tree. He was Mikel I.

Although he had seen it before, he was still surprised given his current status.

So he instantly retreated behind everyone, dragged over the injured Bishop Hunguang who was sitting in a wheelchair, held him in front of him as a human shield, and asked:
"Is this the tomb of His Majesty Mikel I? From the looks of him, he doesn't seem to welcome us. How about we just forget about it this time?"

Luz sneered, placed the sarcophagus next to the golden throne, and said, "He can't take care of us."

Several knights followed Lutz's example and placed the sarcophagus in place.

Luz came to Wu Chang, reached out and grabbed Bishop Hun Guang, and said, "Lend it to me for a while."

Wu Chang loosened his hand and said, "Please do as you please."

Luz placed the Soul Light Bishop into a sarcophagus, then drew his sword and stabbed him through the heart.

Wu Chang frowned and thought to himself, is this just a way to get rid of me?

Luz seemed to see what he was thinking, turned his head to look at Wu Chang, and said, "This is part of the ceremony."

The discovery of Mikel I's eternal tomb seemed to make Luz a lot more cheerful. His character of being frugal with words was broken a little, and his awkward tone became fluent.

"We need to enter a near-death state and die completely within a minute of the moon turning into a blood moon. Then we need to be resurrected by the blood moon to successfully absorb the power of the blood moon. If any part is missing, it won't work."

As he spoke, Luz pointed at Mikel I on the golden throne and said mockingly;
"He was the same. In order to welcome the eternal life of the blood moon, he entered into complete death long ago. Even if he sensed our arrival, he was unable to wake up and stop us."

As if to confirm Luz's point of view, the other nine knights lay down in the sarcophagus, turned their swords around, and stabbed them into their own chests.

The bloody smell instantly filled the entire secret room.

As if he couldn't stand the sight of blood, Wu Chang turned his head and asked in a low voice, "What will happen if you don't die before the blood moon appears? Do you need my help?"

Luz said: "That would be real death. But it doesn't matter, we have ways to control our own life and death."

Wu Chang swallowed his saliva, looked at Luz who was gradually approaching, and asked, "I want to do this too?"

Luz shook his head, looked at Wu Chang and Han Er standing at the door, and said:
"You don't have to. What you have to do is to wake us up immediately when the red moon ends. We must wake up earlier than Mikel I, otherwise, we will all die."

After saying this, he took out a palm-sized cornet from his arms, took off a sapphire ring from his finger, and handed them both to Wu Chang.

"Please remember to wake us up as soon as possible. After the task is completed, the generous reward will definitely exceed your imagination."

Wu Chang looked at the gem ring worth 2000 decayed silver coins in his hand, frowning slightly. He could understand the horn, what did the gem ring mean, looking down on him? Was he, Wu Chang, such a person?

In order to clear his image in Luz's eyes, he looked at the emerald ring on Luz's thumb and said, "I actually like green."

Luz was stunned for a moment, then took off the ring and threw it to Wu Chang.

"Do your job well, and you can have as many of these as you want."

Wu Chang stood at attention instantly, his body straight, and said: "I promise to complete the task. Those who are familiar with my character know that I have always been content and never greedy!"

Luz curled his lips without commenting. If someone dared to ask him for things directly, that meant he was not greedy, then no one would be greedy.

Seeing that time was almost up, Luz hurriedly got into the coffin, stabbed his heart with his sword, glanced at Mikel I above, showed disdain at the corner of his mouth, and then closed his eyes.

They won this round.

Everyone lay in the coffin. Now in the chamber of eternal life, only Wu Chang and Han Er were still awake.

Wu Chang hummed some music, threw the jewel ring into his personal space, and then came to the door of the tomb with Han Er, observing the changes of the moon.

When the moon turned from crescent to full and gradually turned red, and the breath of everyone in the tomb became weak and they were about to die completely, Wu Chang returned to the tomb humming some music.

He said to Han Er, "Didn't you want to see what I took from the Soul Light Church?"

Han Er was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Wu Chang was planning, but he still said, "Yes."

Wu Chang took out the square fire lamps. Under the illumination of the fire, the weak life force of the people who were originally on the verge of death was instantly revived.

He looked at Luz and said slowly:

"I've said before, I've always been content and never greedy, so you guys should live a little longer."
