Mysterious Catastrophe

Page 828

Numerous lights and shadows floated, along with some unfamiliar language information...

Fortunately, Aaron is very used to this, and quickly absorbed and understood all the language, and then sorted out other memories of this body.

"His name is Zoro... He was originally an orphan, but he was adopted by the old gravekeeper in the cemetery..."

'After the death of the old cemetery keeper, Zorro inherited the position of the other cemetery keeper and continued to be the cemetery keeper in the small town... Every night he inspected the cemetery of several acres, and the lamp oil was provided by the local lord, because His career is quite unlucky, and he has never been married so far... Well, although he is only in his 20s, he is definitely considered an older youth in this ancient times similar to the Middle Ages. '

'The wine in the tavern in Yanan Town is good, and the waitress is also very beautiful... Uh, why are you so impressed by this?Well... it is normal for a barmaid to have a second job that is pure and pollution-free. '

……

After resting for a while, Aaron barely got up.

He was dressed in linen, patched and stained.

At this moment, with a creak, the small wooden door opened.

Rows of lying or standing tombstones spread along the road in an orderly manner, with no end in sight...

This is a cemetery and Zorro's home.

"Only death is the fairest, and it is the ultimate gift of time to everyone!"

Aaron looked at a statue of a veiled woman holding a sickle, and said something to himself.

Immediately, he carried the lantern and began to move slowly in the cemetery.

"Hoohoo!"

His body is still very weak, and he has to breathe for a while after walking a few steps.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Aaron to arrive at his destination.

That's the entrance to the cemetery, and a row of 'Whipping Willow' was planted!

Well, it's actually a willow-like plant with very long branches that can easily hit people when it is blown by the wind.

He picked some willow branches and leaves, and peeled off a little willow bark.

I chewed the peeled fresh branches in my mouth. I don't know if it was a psychological illusion. I felt that all symptoms were much better.

"What the hell... In ancient times, there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and a cold and fever could kill you..."

'Fortunately, the surviving dead species should not be bad in physique, so they can carry it through, right? '

Aaron returned to the gravekeeper's hut with his things, and decided to boil willow bark water for drinking tomorrow morning.

'I don't know what this low-dimensional world looks like? '

"After all, Zorro is just a cemetery keeper, and his field of vision is very narrow... It is not bad to know that the town of Yharnam belongs to Baron Lancaster..."

The green taste in his mouth gradually spread, and Aaron was inexplicably emotional.

This world seems to be still in a stage similar to the European Middle Ages.

The people are ignorant, the lords are arrogant...

It feels like it's back to the beginning when it just started traveling.

"Green Forest..."

Aaron sighed: "So...have I walked so far before I knew it?"

He turned off the lantern, stared at the moonlight outside the window, and stared blankly for a long time.

Suddenly, a few lights flickered, attracting Aaron's attention.

It is late at night and no one will come to mourn loved ones.

Obviously, those few lights may have been brought by the tomb robbers, the mortal enemies of the tomb guards.

They like to dig the tombs of the buried people and steal the funerary objects.

This is quite despicable behavior.

Once caught, it is possible to be beheaded directly!

Zorro's instinct made Aaron want to venture out and stop the tomb robbers, but he was quickly suppressed by Aaron.

'Now I'm so weak, I can't beat a child...how can I stop the tomb robbers? '

'Even if it can be stopped, the price is too high for me to bear...'

'It's better to wait until they are satisfied and leave...'

'Then I can restore the tomb, so that at least I can hide it for a long time, even a lifetime! '

Ya-Ren naturally chose Gou's way of coping.

After all, if he dies, the dimension-reducing body will also die!

Even if it is a clone, it is good to be alive.

Just when he closed his eyes and was about to sleep until dawn, and then go to wipe the ass of those tomb robbers, a scream suddenly sounded, tearing the peaceful night.

"Depend on!"

Aaron's eyes that had just been closed opened again: "Can the tomb robber be a bit educated? You are no longer called a tomb robber, but a robber!"

Although he made some complaints, he obviously knew that there must be something wrong with the group of tomb robbers outside!

He lay on the crack of the door, carefully observing the scene in the cemetery.

Several tomb robbers rolled and ran, still calling words such as mommy, obviously they were greatly frightened.

It was as if something terrible was chasing them in the darkness.

The screams came one after another. If it wasn't for the fact that the cemetery was so remote, it might have woken up half of the people in the town.

Immediately, there were two more screams, and two more lanterns went out in the dark.

That's the direction to run out of the cemetery!

The last remaining tomb robber immediately changed the direction of escape and rushed to the only eye-catching building-the gravekeeper's hut!

Boom!

He was a man in his thirties and 40s, with brown hair and a hooked nose, and he was slamming on the door frantically at this moment: "Open the door, let me in! Open the door!"

The back of the door was tightly blocked by Aaron, and the weight of his own body was also added.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you let me take the danger with you?"

He complained in his heart, and heard the people outside shouting: "Zorro...Zorro...I'm Smith, we had a drink together, open the door! That monster...that monster is coming soon!"

"Smith?"

Aaron blinked and remembered. He did have a little impression, but he was not familiar with it.

"Is it... a monster?"

He murmured, and pressed the door panel even tighter, no matter how swearing Smith from the outside world was, he just remained unmoved.

Soon, Smith's voice outside the door changed from cursing to screaming!

"what!"

Immediately, he quickly became quiet, only the scalp-numbing sound of chewing could be heard.

Aaron looked out through the crack of the door.

In the darkness, under the moonlight, a vague figure emerged.

The opponent has a protruding jaw like a hyena, abnormally long claw nails, and many places on his body are covered with fungi, just like a corpse.

At this time, the 'corpse' was dragging Smith slowly into the darkness.

'A ghoul? '

Aaron blinked.

The appearance of this monster does look somewhat similar to the legendary ghoul.

But what surprised Aaron was that at a certain moment in the darkness, the back of the other party...disappeared suddenly!

It's like teleportation!

'A monstrously evil creature that teleports? '

"It seems... there are still extraordinary powers in this world..."

'It's just... am I going to report to Baron Lancaster tomorrow? '

'According to common sense, it should indeed be done... But who knows if the superior will anger me at will? '

'Besides, even if I were to be a guide to find that ghoul, it would be very troublesome! '

'The other party didn't attack me just now?Do you know it, or do you already have enough food and are full? '

One thought after another emerged in Aaron's mind.

……

The next day.

early morning.

Aaron walked out of the gravekeeper's hut just after dawn.

At this time, on the door of the house, there were still a few shocking bloody handprints.

The ground was covered with traces of dark brown blood after drying up.

He glanced at it, and immediately fetched water as if nothing had happened, washed away the blood on the door, and turned over the soil to cover the previous blood.

For several other murder scenes, he did the same.

It has to be said that after sweating all over, he felt that his symptoms had improved a lot, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Finally, he came to the place where the tomb robbers were planning to rob the tomb last night.

Its location is very remote, in the corner of the cemetery, and it may have been established for more than a hundred years.

At least, as Aaron remembers, few people came to pay their respects.

Therefore, even if the tomb is stolen, it may be covered up for a long time-this is the idea of ​​those tomb robbers.

pity……

He shook his head, picked up the shovel discarded by the tomb robber next to him, shoveled the soil and sent it back.

Then, restore the fallen tombstone.

The tombstone has long been mottled, but the epitaph on it is still quite clear—[If you really have no place to live, I don’t mind the two of us squeezing together]

There is also a line of text below, which is the name and the date of birth and death, and most of it has been worn away.

It can only be vaguely seen that it is a person named Jair Braganza, but the date of birth and death is completely vague.

'Huh?I know how to read?No, it is the meaning of this letter. '

Looking at the tombstones, Aaron suddenly recalled the scene where the old gravekeeper held Zorro's hand and taught the knowledge of words as he passed the tombstones one by one.

'In this age when all people are illiterate, the old gravekeeper is also a person with a story... Unfortunately, he died. '

The old gravekeeper died of old age, and the tomb is also in this cemetery. Zorro dug it himself.

Aaron was silent for a while, and after restoring the tomb, he came to another part of the cemetery.

Below the relatively new tombstone, there is a bouquet of daisies.

It can be seen that the surroundings are well taken care of.

Aaron mourned for a moment, picked some flowers and buried them next to the tomb: "Zorro also died last night...From today, I am Aaron!"

……

Most of the work of the tomb guards is at night, and they need to patrol the cemetery to prevent the undead from being disturbed by tomb robbers.

During the day, it is quite leisurely.

The old gravekeeper even opened up several acres of wheat fields and vegetable gardens near the cemetery.

The baron of the Lancaster family was a stingy person, and he provided very little to the cemetery, and the old cemetery had raised a Zorro before, so he had to find a way to subsidize it.

In fact, Aaron felt that apart from being a little unlucky, the job of a grave keeper was actually considered a good job in this era.

After all... just like the mayor, tax collector, and militia captain in a small town, it is a 'public office', and it may even get the lord's salary!
