The dissection and analysis process was still going on. In order to prevent Elena from drooling at the two corpses, Lu Cheng took the initiative to invite Elena to continue this date.
The next place for their date was... the royal mausoleum located under the castle.
"Don't you have a tradition of worshipping the dead in your country?"
Lu Cheng held a flashlight in his hand to illuminate the interior of the mausoleum. The walls of the mausoleum were inlaid with some glowing stones, but the visibility was probably still so low that a normal person could not see the surrounding environment clearly.
"It seems not, but I still often sneak here to give my mother a few bouquets of flowers or something."
Elena was very familiar with the route to the royal mausoleum. She took the lead and walked in front to prevent Lu Cheng from getting lost in this huge mausoleum.
"Do you come here often?" Lu Cheng shone the flashlight around. This mausoleum was not built in one go. It seemed that it was an underground mausoleum that had been expanded since the founding of the country of Skare.
Various dead bones covered with spider webs could be seen everywhere around, and it was unknown whether they were the bones of Elena's ancestor.
"I come to see you when I'm unhappy, but not often," said Elena.
Even if she doesn't come here often, this isn't a place a little girl should come to when she's unhappy, okay
Before Lu Cheng could complain, Elena had already stopped in front of a sarcophagus.
"Mother, I brought him here." Elena first whispered to the sarcophagus, then turned around and introduced her own mother's coffin to Lu Cheng, "This is where my mother is buried."
"Your previous sentence sounds a bit creepy, forget it..."
Lu Cheng walked to Elena's side and shone the flashlight onto the sarcophagus.
The old king still had feelings for mother Elena when he was alive, which can be seen from this exquisite sarcophagus full of reliefs.
There were many withered flowers under the sarcophagus. Judging from the number of flowers, Elena did often go to this underground mausoleum.
Maybe after her mother passed away, she would hide here to relax when she encountered something unhappy
"My mother didn't have any burial objects, and her relics were burned when the blood crystal beasts invaded. Lu Cheng, can you really find any clues here?" Elena asked.
"If you allow me to open the coffin lid, maybe I can find it." Lu Cheng said as he glanced at the ring on Elena's hand.
Elena's dragon transformation is still relatively stable. Apart from the fact that her appetite has increased five or six times, there are no other problems with Elena.
But just now, when Elena showed an appetite for the blood crystals of the blood crystal beast, Lu Cheng felt that her dragon transformation symptoms might... not be that simple.
The research base has also analyzed Elena's cell tissue, but has not come to any useful conclusions so far. It may take some time for Lu Cheng to entrust the Secret Society to investigate.
After Lu Cheng learned from Elena that her mother was buried under the castle, he came to visit Elena's biological mother.
"Elena, have you ever opened your mother's coffin before?" When Lu Cheng was observing the outside of the sarcophagus, he found some abnormalities on the marks where the sarcophagus was sealed.
There is much less dust between the joints of the coffin lids than on top of the lids.
This indicates that someone opened the coffin lid of Elena's mother, or... Elena's mother simply opened the coffin lid and ran away
"No, I...I couldn't move the stone on it when I was a kid." Elena said somewhat aggrievedly.
Can't push it? You just tried? Girl, do you dare to lift your own mother's coffin
"And now?"
After Lu Cheng walked into the sarcophagus, he confirmed his guess, that is, the sarcophagus had been moved, perhaps half a year ago or even earlier.
"It should be able to be pushed now!" Elena said as she put her hands on the edge of the sarcophagus, but she pulled them back the next second as if she had been electrocuted. "Lu Cheng! Doing this will make my mother very unhappy!"
"If your mother was really lying in this coffin, she might have exploded a year or half a year ago."
Lu Cheng knew why Elena was so scared. There were "souls" in this world. Lu Cheng heard from the necromancer of the Secret Society that "creatures" such as vengeful spirits also existed in this world. If Lu Cheng didn't believe it, she could go back and show Lu Cheng her own ghost dog.
The premise of the existence of the soul means that in this mausoleum... perhaps all the ancestors of the Skarre royal family are watching Elena lift the lid of their own mother's coffin.
"Why?"
"The seal of this sarcophagus shows signs of being tampered with. The sarcophagus was opened a long time ago." Lu Cheng said, pointing to the dust stains in the gap.
"It was opened...who was it?" At this moment, Elena had already pulled up her sleeves, preparing to beat someone up.
Elena rarely gets angry normally. For example, when Miss Groundhog deliberately provokes her, Elena doesn't notice it at all. But when something about her mother is mentioned, Elena will quickly become furious.
Her respect for her mother was absolute.
"I don't know. The inside of the sarcophagus is likely to have been damaged. I think it is necessary to open it and check what's inside." Lu Cheng said.
"For my mother's peace, I have to confirm it."
Elena hesitated for a long time, but finally put her hands on the edge of the sarcophagus. Now Elena was able to push the coffin lid of her own mother.
Lu Cheng knew that his strength was not as good as Elena's, but in order to prevent Elena's strength from being too great and destroying this "artifact", Lu Cheng walked to the other side and leaned on the edge of the coffin.
Accompanied by a large amount of dust rising, the sarcophagus was slowly pushed open by Elena.
She looked inside the coffin...but there was not even a single burial object, let alone her mother's body. The inside of the sarcophagus was empty, just as Lu Cheng had expected.
"Tomb...tomb robber?" Elena was stunned, her hands clenched tightly, and she seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"Elena! Elena! Calm down, think about it. Is your mother buried in this sarcophagus?"
Lu Cheng came to her side and held her hand, using the warmth of his palms to pull Elena back from the brink of collapse.
"Well, I saw my mother lying here with my own eyes, and then she was moved here." Elena hugged her arms, feeling so uncomfortable that she curled up in Lu Cheng's arms. "My mother..."
"It shouldn't be a tomb robber." Lu Cheng didn't mind giving Elena a shoulder to lean on at this time, but after opening the coffin, the marks under the coffin lid made Lu Cheng believe in this magical world, where even things like resurrection from the dead exist.
Or in other words...Elena's mother was not dead at all.
There was a crack under the coffin lid and many scratches with blood.
Lu Cheng thought that it must be Elena's mother who suddenly woke up in the sarcophagus, and after leaving, she closed her own coffin lid.
"Your mother may still be alive." Lu Cheng whispered to Elena this news, which might completely destroy her worldview.
