Chapter 47 The Necropolis

The Necropolis is located north of Thorn City, if only by scale , It is better to say that this is a satellite city than a cemetery.

The towering city wall encloses the entire cemetery. Every 20 meters on the city wall, there will be spells of [Comfort the Undead] and [Life Barrier] inscribed by the Holy Spirit Church and the Rose Palace Mage Hall. rune.

Also thanks to Thorn City, which is rich in Origin Silver, other big cities on the continent, even Platinum City, the capital of the Empire, and Tulle City, which is famous for its wealth, can’t afford such extravagance.

Because of the ancestor worship customs in the Blackwater Marsh area, people believe that the soul of the deceased needs to rely on the remains to exist, so for thousands of years, most of the dead in Thorn City will be sent to this large cemetery Burial.

The corpses have been piled up over the years, and the number of dead buried in them has probably reached an incalculable number.

And with so many corpses piled up together, it’s an extremely dangerous thing to do in this world where necromancy exists. Therefore, the large cemeteries are normally closed, heavily guarded, and prohibit outsiders from entering.

Only the Resurrection Day on the 4th of the Rain Moon and the Day of the Dead on the 15th of the Brumaire every year, the cemetery guards here will open their doors and allow residents to enter the large cemetery to worship their ancestors.

“The Holy Tomb you said was built under the cemetery?”

Cass asked, looking at the towering city wall.

“It should be said that the necropolis was built above the Holy Tomb. The history of the Holy Tomb is much earlier than that of the necropolis. It existed as early as the Bronze Age.”

Nezmaar answered, untying a bundle of throwing ropes from his waist.

“The Blackwater people at that time believed that the catacombs were the entrance to the underworld and the place where the Death God Vala was reborn. So the rulers at that time chose to use it as a cemetery in anticipation of their own death. It was also at that time that the idea of serving the dead by the living emerged, and it gradually evolved into the ancestor worship custom unique to the Blackwater Province today.”

Nezmaar said, hanging up the claws. She threw the throwing rope up, and after pulling the rope a few times to test its firmness, she turned back and said to Cass: “Okay, I’ll climb up first to see the situation, it’s alright, you Come up again.”

After she finished speaking, she climbed onto the rope as dexterously as a cat.

Although the other party was wearing light leather armor, it was a lady after all, and Cass was embarrassed to stand below and stare at them.

So he turned his head and looked towards Liz, who had been sulking on his shoulders since before.

“Uh…what’s the matter?”

Cass asked.

“It’s nothing.”

Seeing Cass turn around, Liz turned his head away and made a “hmph” with his nose up.

Cass guessed that she was still angry about what happened just now, so she thoughtfully said:

“Isn’t her proposal a good idea? To get back her life scale powder earlier, There is no need to worry about what happened to me every day, of course, if you want to compensate for this…”

“Do you think I want to compensate or something?!”

p>

Liz suddenly turned around and grabbed Cass’s ears with both hands.

Cass felt like she had twisted her ears twice.

“Do you just want to be a Magic Swordsman? Do you want to go somewhere else to continue fighting? Didn’t you say that you would retire after completing your revenge? You can’t think about it too much. Would you mind me?”

Turning Cass’ ears in his hands, Liz said blushing.

“But…I don’t know what else I can do besides fighting.”

In this regard, Cass was silent for a while and then replied.

His words made Liz feel discouraged, she let go of Cass’ ears, put her hands back and raised her head to look at Cass’s face and asked in disappointment:

“Then I said before, help me take care of the garden or something, have you really never thought about it?”

Cass was about to answer when Nezmaar’s voice came from the city wall.

“Safe, you can come up.”

…………

While climbing the rope, Cass felt another burst of wounds in his abdomen. dull pain. When he got to the city wall, he took off his clothes and checked, a faint bloodstain oozing out of the bandage.

“No way, it’s normal to climb the rope before it heals. It’s normal for the wound to crack.”

Looking at Nezmaar and Liz’s gaze, Cass said helplessly. .

“There is no time to wait for you to completely recover completely. My informant in Rose Palace told me that the Duke’s big move is in the past few days, and we must get the Judgement Four as soon as possible. Odds.”

Nezmaar replied.

And Liz was silently sighed when he saw it, and sparkling scales began to appear around the wings.

“Hey, Demonness over there, don’t do this again.”

But before she could fan the scale powder on Cass, Nezmaar on the side stopped her.

“Although the demoness’s life force is much more exuberant than that of human beings, but also don’t you waste it like that.”

Nezmaar said, a faint green light lit up on his hand.

“You have rescued him from the brink of death twice, and the consumption is not a small amount even for Demoness.”

Said, she put her hand on the location of Cass’ abdominal wound.

【Hand of Healing】, expert-level life magic.

Although it only temporarily stopped the bleeding from Cass’s open wound, it made him feel much better now.

After doing all this, Nezmaar looked back towards Liz and said, “Your remaining life force is not enough, don’t waste it in such a place.”

“Who… who is wasting it for him, I’m afraid that his wounds are too deep and he will suddenly die suddenly. When the time comes, my scale powder will not be recovered.”

Liz’s voice raised his volume.

“Shh…”

Cass made a silent gesture to her.

A troop called the Gravekeeper has been stationed near the cemetery to prevent large-scale corpses from happening. If they found out, it would be bad to be seen as a Necromancer who slipped in and stole the body.

Liz covered her mouth in understanding.

Looking at the shrine in the center of the necropolis, Cass asked in a low voice:

“Are you sure the weapon is under that shrine?”

Nezmaar nod replied :

“It’s pretty certain that we learned about the whereabouts of the ‘Judgement Four’ ten years ago. And made representations to Duke Simon at that time, but he I have found various reasons to refuse.”

Nezmaar straightened the three-cornered hat on his head, the white feathers on the hat swayed slightly under the night wind.

“If it weren’t for the fact that his relationship with the imperial family deteriorated sharply, and several groups of intelligence personnel dispatched by the royal family were assassinated by magic casters who were suspected of using Moon Realm’s power, we might have really followed up with him like this. He’s been bullshitting…”

She said as she walked down the stairs of the city wall, Cass and Liz following her.

The tombstones that can’t be seen at a glance stand in great numbers in the great cemetery, one by one, crowded together.

The dead people here are so dense that the living people have no place to stay and can only walk on the tombstones.

“Speaking of which, we can’t go on the main road? We have to step on the head of the dead here…”

With a “click”, Cass stepped on it again. A tombstone, he could not help but complained and asked.

He’s a native of Blackwater Province, and he doesn’t mind disturbing the peace of the dead.

“There will be a patrol of grave guards on the road at night. If they are found, it will be troublesome.”

Nezmaar, who was walking in front, replied without looking back.

Compared to Cass’s tall and burly body and the heavy weapons on his back, Nezmaar is like a nimble cat, leaping and falling lightly on multiple graves, and his movements are skilled enough to follow back.

Like home.

“Is there? I don’t see any light on the road over there. They patrol the impossible and don’t even have lights?”

Cass looked in the direction of the road He asked, hearing this, Nezmaar also stopped on a cross-shaped tombstone, turned his head and looked towards there.

“And not only is there no light on the road, but there is no fire on the campsite where the gate is stationed. Is the light off at this point?”

Cass pointed to the door of the large cemetery. location said.

At this point they were very close to the temple in the center of the necropolis.

“It’s a bit strange, but there’s no time to deal with it now, let’s…”

At this time, a shock wave of black spread rapidly with the temple as the core, and soon It spread to every corner of the cemetery.

But aside from a gust of wind that was neither strong nor weak, that wave did not have any effect on the three of them.

“What was that just now? I feel the magic inside, but why doesn’t it have any effect on us?”

Liz asked in shock.

Nezmaar looked towards the temple in the center of the necropolis with a serious face and said:

“That’s…”

It’s a pity she hasn’t After that, the ground began to vibrate violently.

An earthquake?

This was the first thought that popped into Cass’s mind, but the cruel reality told him that the ground shaking at the moment was not something as simple as an earthquake.

Much more terrifying than earthquakes.

The tombstone Nezmaar was stepping on shattered violently, and a half-rotting arm grabbed her leg.

At the same time, in the entire cemetery, there are probably dozens of millions of hands that are either mutilated, complete, rotten, or bone-white, torn open the coffins and soil, and stick out from the ground.

It stretches to the end of the line of sight.
