Chapter 223 Stone Statue Cemetery
The fully activated gargoyle, exuding the unique stone miasma of the cemetery, stared at the two people below with ruby eyes:
"The stone statue cemetery has been closed. All corpse burial, transfer, processing and production work between the cemeteries are suspended. If you have any questions, please go to the city hall for consultation.
If you continue to approach the cemetery or behave like a suspected attack on the cemetery, the cemetery's unique defense system will be activated. ”
Yi Chen took off the sun badge and showed it in front of the gargoyle.
Two streams of red light visible to the naked eye are emitted from the gem-shaped eyes and converge on the badge.
"Members of the Church of the Sun, you have been granted restricted access to the cemetery. After entering the park, please go to the [Stone House] where the owner is located under the leadership of the butler. Once you are more than ten meters away from the butler, the cemetery's defense system will be activated."< br>
After the words ended, the heavy door opened inwards.
A butler is waiting behind the door. His entire face is made of stone. He has no eyes, or in other words, he doesn't need eyes at all. He can accurately know the location of the cemetery just by touching the soles of his feet.
The butler had no intention of waiting for the two of them. The moment the door opened, he had already turned around and started leading the way
Yi Chen slapped the stunned Barry behind him. The sound of armor brought him back to his senses and he quickly followed.
Since I had to follow the housekeeper, the fog was too thick along the way and I couldn't see the specific scene of the cemetery. I only knew that the specifications of this cemetery had reached [large].
The Seven Days Cemetery where Yi Chen once worked and the Cold Lake Cemetery where Little Grape absorbed the essence are both classified as [Small].
It’s also a long way from the gate to the cemetery manager’s room,
As the experience deepened, Barry gradually adapted and was no longer afraid, "It's really a stone statue cemetery~ I heard that half of the gargoyles in Zion City are produced here. The owner of this cemetery is considered to be the highest-level stone carving One of the teachers.
The stone sculptures made by him can serve as perfect soul containers, accepting independent souls bred in the cemetery and turning them into terrifying stone sculptures. ”
Yi Chen ignored Barry. He was communicating with a cemetery professional in his body:
"Little Grape, do you have any ideas?" 』
"What ideas can I have?" Large cemeteries like this are guarded by strong men among you humans. If I make any small moves, I will be discovered immediately. 』
Yi Chen was speechless for a while, "I'm just asking you if this cemetery is related to the death incident." 』
"Oh~ I can't feel anything at the moment. Whether it's the corpse smell emanating from the soil in the cemetery, the humidity in the air, or the operation of the entire cemetery factory is quite normal. 』
"Well, I guess so.
If something goes wrong in such an important cemetery, it will definitely be discovered as soon as possible. I'll try to chat with the cemetery manager later, and maybe I can allow you to absorb some of the cemetery's essence like I did last time at Cold Lake Cemetery. 』
After walking for more than 20 minutes, we finally reached the so-called [Stone House]
A lonely, simple square stone house with no doors or windows is located at the end of the road.
As the stone butler walked towards him, his body merged with the stone house and turned into a door structure, opening inwards.
Yi Chen stepped into it first,
Barry took off his bucket helmet and held it in his hands, following behind with some restraint
The scene inside the stone house surprised the two of them. They did not see the cemetery manager directly.
It is filled with various handmade suitcases and large bags, which are carried in the hands or carried on the shoulders by many stone carving housekeepers, as if they are preparing to travel far.
The secret passage in the center of the stone house is fully opened, and the stairs extend downward.
At this moment, a rather funny voice came from the bottom: "If you two are okay, come down and help."
Yi Chen and Barry looked at each other and immediately walked down the secret passage.
Below is a craft room dedicated to stone carving production. Most of the equipment and materials have been packed, and a special mold table is currently being folded and transported.
The so-called cemetery manager turned out to be a somewhat funny-looking, middle-aged dwarf with brown hair, who was probably less than one meter tall.
The dwarf wears a set of hand-made exoskeleton armor (stone and steam), and with the help of three butlers, he can barely lift the mold table, making it difficult to move.
"This thing is a bit heavy, you two come over and help me."
It looked like a very ordinary mold table, but when Yi Chen started to use it, he was stunned, as if he was moving a small mountain.
Yi Chen didn't ask any more questions, and immediately used all his strength, and you could see the iron chains between his arms swimming under the skin,
Barry's face was also flushed with shock, and blue veins popped out.
Cooperating with the four stone statue stewards, they finally moved the things to the top.
The dwarf quickly took off his armor and patted the thighs of the two of them with his hand. "You two little guys have pretty good strength~ You have very strange faces. I seem to have never seen you before."
Yi Chen quickly explained: "Barry and I just came from Zion to assist the local gentlemen in investigating the source of the death. We received Dean Dis' sun badge for our groundbreaking investigation."
Who knows,
The dwarf was not interested in the 'groundbreaking investigation' at all. Instead, he said with a surprised look on his face: "Are you coming here to die? You two have pretty good talents. Wasting talents is not the style of the organization."
"Fortunately, Barry and I have captured one..."
Before Yi Chen could finish speaking, the dwarf directly slapped a piece of parchment paper with G&D on them.
"For the sake of helping me move my things, I would like to share with you this advance notice issued by Zion's senior management to me, Dean Dis, and the mayor. Please do not spread it outside."
≮Dear Mr. Rube, given that the prophet cannot read any future information about the city of Levenholm, he cannot formulate any survival rules.
The potential dangers hidden in the cities are immeasurable. Please immediately pack up the stone statue cemetery you manage.
Once the situation becomes serious, the organization will directly abandon everything in Levenholm and build a high wall to permanently block the entire city≯
"This..."
"Do you see clearly? Although the decision to abandon and blockade has not been directly issued, the organization has detected the danger in advance.
I will pack up and leave here tonight. Anyway, as long as I am still alive and with these important tools packed together, the stone statue cemetery can be rebuilt in a short time. ”
"Mr. Luber, do you really not want to fight for it? Dean Dis and his colleagues really have made breakthrough progress."
"So what if there is progress? I don't like gambling... The gray area is spreading and expanding across the world. It is only a matter of time before this city is engulfed. I just left one step ahead of time. Life is more important than anything else.
Since we are destined tonight, do you two want to go with me? I can guarantee you that the organization will not hold you responsible for your temporary escape. ”
"No, we have decided to investigate to the end here."
"What a pity~ I can only wish you good luck."
The cemetery manager Rubeus gently waved his hand, and the top of the stone roof automatically opened, and multiple gargoyles arrived to carry the goods together.
"Mr. Rube, since you are leaving, do you still have any use for this cemetery?"
Yi Chen's question made the other party stunned, and at the same time he stopped to look at this gentleman young man again.
"Do you want to take over here?"
"It's not a matter of taking over. I have never learned the knowledge of cemetery management. I have only worked in a cemetery. If Mr. Luber decides to leave, I want to make use of the remaining value of the cemetery."
"Tell me and listen."
As Little Grape appeared from his shoulder, Rubeus immediately put down the suitcase in his hand and cast a pure gaze that could penetrate the soul.
"How can so many interesting souls be crammed into such a small 'container' and form an independent whole? Moreover, this little guy also exudes two different cemetery atmospheres...whose handiwork is this?"
"Little grapes are produced in the Seven Days Cemetery."
"It's interesting~ I'll take some time to visit that guy Wilbert.
The stone statue cemetery is all given to you. Once I leave, all creations will leave together. No one will care what you do here~ Of course, how much residual value you can extract depends on your ability.
Don't die, young man, I'll run away first. "I've been so stuck on Kawen lately that I can't even save my manuscript. I'll take a break on the weekends as usual to adjust my state~
