Speaking of the funeral, my father thought of another thing, so he said:
"Don't go to Mr. Ink's Club recently, something happened there. I'll tell you when it's safe."
"Did something happen?"
As usual, the soft chocolate was placed on the counter, and it lay there waving its front paws at Jenkins, and Jenkins took off his coat and hat and hung it aside.
"Someone broke into there in the middle of the night yesterday, went underground in an unknown way, killed Mr. Bieders, and took away his body and B-12-2-4118, [the seal of the undead dead ]. The amount of bleeding at the scene was very large, and Peters probably died on the spot."
"You mean, that 187-year-old undead?"
He had very bad associations.
"Hmph, what kind of undead is he? The night watchmen have intervened in this matter, and there is no feedback yet. In short, stay away from there recently. I think the murderer may have arrived there directly from the mine, but the people in the club have already That road has been blocked..."
The ashes of illegal long-lived people are made from human corpses over 150 years old. That's not just burning to ashes, and complicated rituals are required during the period, which seems to be related to the way of death of the deceased.
But no matter what, there is a high probability that the [Life Sharing Alliance] that lost two sets of ashes is directly related to this matter, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence
"Speaking of which, Miss Magic also has a set of ashes, won't she be targeted too?"
Seeing that Jenkins was a little distracted and thinking about other things, the old man coughed and motioned him to continue listening:
"I forgot to tell you before, the background of Mr. Ink's club is not simple. This is the only stronghold of the believers of the false god-the god of guns. This false god has a very good relationship with the great [Lord of the God of War], so he If believers set up such clubs locally, the church will not hold them accountable.
The people in the club will not let it go, the magic of the firearms series has an extraordinary effect, especially the continuous improvement of firearms technology, making the false god more and more powerful.
We don't need to get ourselves into trouble, so don't go there for the last half month. If you need to practice with your firearms, I can recommend another place for you. "
"Oh, I have to start those troublesome courses recently, and the firearms training can be slowed down."
He hesitated, and asked again:
"Father, since I'm going to attend the funeral this afternoon, I'm a little worried that my bad luck will cause trouble. Excuse me, are there any ghosts that clearly point to the occasion of the 'funeral'?"
Hearing this, the old man shook his head and smiled:
"You're cautious, but that's fine. Come here, and I'll tell you something. Although the number of monsters is not comparable to the extraordinary, they are far more than the gifts. This is only the part that has been recorded and numbered. Therefore, Knowing more monsters is extremely useful for your own safety, although some of them will be affected by them... "
The two settled into chairs in front of the fireplace, where Jenkins had moved a model windmill made of brass nuts elsewhere.
There are corresponding organs inside this model, which can be rotated.
"There are many legends and customs about funerals. The most famous one is that the sun shines during the funeral, and whoever's face is illuminated the brightest by the sun among the guests attending the funeral may be the next dead person. Most of these rumors are based on Ordinary people make it up, but it's also partially true.
There are not many ghosts specifically pointing to the funeral, and some of them are related to a fixed time and place, so I will only introduce the most famous ones.
A-12-05-4417, Resurrection Coffin. It is not a specific item, but a phenomenon. This phenomenon may occur in all formally held funerals from October 3rd to February 19th of the next year. Specifically, the material of the coffin containing the corpse has changed, allowing the corpse to be resurrected for a short time. The resurrection time is fixed at 19 seconds, and the resurrected dead cannot perceive things after death. "
Jenkins frowned:
"This will cause a lot of commotion, right? But why, there is no content related to this in those famous legends?"
"This phenomenon is very rare, and it may only happen once in decades. The last recorded incident of A-12-05-4417 was in the border town of Cheslan Kingdom nine years ago, but because there was a guard in the funeral The tomb man, he immediately contacted the church, so this matter never got out."
Dad nodded, motioning for Jenkins to ask questions.
"Since it's a weird thing, what about its weird characteristics?"
"The danger level of this phenomenon is very low, and the strange characteristics are not obvious. The resurrected corpse will become a special material. Once someone uses this corpse as a ritual, especially the ability of the undead, then the corpse will become It turned into a terrifying monster. The specific ability is difficult to describe, but a single level 7 gifter may not be an opponent. Therefore, after this kind of thing happens, the corpse must be burned, and the ashes cannot be kept. "
Jenkins nodded slightly, thinking about what Mr. Piscoe would say to him if he came back to life.
"Oh, by the way, this kind of thing can only happen to the corpses of ordinary people."
The old man added that Jenkins immediately threw away his previous guess.
There are still many weird things that clearly point to the occasion of the funeral, but the old man's introduction is not particularly detailed. He told Jenkins that if you want to know more clearly, you can go to the reference room of the [Death and the End] church, and some of the data are open to all benefactors of the Orthodox Church at the same time.
Jenkins left the antique shop around 11 p.m. and went home to change into a formal suit for the funeral.
With this suit, there's no way to stuff chocolate in your arms, so you have to leave the cat at home.
Mr. Pisco's body will be buried in a public cemetery on the outskirts of the city. The funeral will also be held there, so Jenkins will go there in a carriage.
Hathaway proposed last night that she accompany Jenkins as his female companion, but Jenkins politely refused. He thought it would delay the whole afternoon, and he couldn't trouble others easily.
"I'm so sweet!"
Since late autumn, the price of fresh flowers has become extremely expensive, but they have to be bought. Due to his mental allergy to the flower girls, he finally chose Dey Pedestrian Street, which intersects with St. George's Avenue. There is a flower shop there.
