Chapter 226

Rin's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked the reason.

It turned out that the cemetery behind the church was planted with a requiem tree that contained beautiful hopes. This tree had a lush crown and red leaves.

In autumn and winter, countless leaves fell off and rolled into the dust, dyeing the soil red. Over time, the soil in the cemetery turned this color.

Few monks who had lived in Shengdao City for many years could not recognize it.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in Rin's head, and he quickly asked someone to lead the way to the cemetery.

The cemetery in the other world is a Western tradition. There is a tomb under the church. After the monks and missionaries die, they will be buried under the church where they have devoted their lives.

But the cathedral in the center of the church has a long history of more than a thousand years. Not everyone can be buried there because... there is not enough space.

So only archbishops of all generations and bishops with outstanding contributions can enter below.

More are placed in this cemetery behind the bell tower.

The church's cemetery is not a pile of graves, but a whole, spacious grave with tombstones on top.

The purpose at night is particularly terrifying. Lin had watched a horror movie not long ago, and now standing at the entrance of the grave, he still felt a little scared.

He did not go down, and several knights went down the grave with torches and magic lights.

Unfortunately, nothing was found below.

But Fei Miao, who saw things at night as bright as day, stood beside Lin and looked around boredly, and found something strange, so he reached out and pulled Lin's sleeve.

Lin looked in the direction of her finger and found something wrong.

The ground a little further away, near a fiery red requiem tree, the soil was brighter in color and still moist, and it was obviously turned over by someone.

Lin asked the two guards to use swords as shovels and dig at the pile of soil.

Not digging very deep, the two guards felt that the swords touched something hard, looked at each other and hurriedly accelerated.

But when the things in the pit were revealed in full, both of them took a step back.

The well-trained members of the Knights of the Cult were almost frightened to the point of screaming. Others also quickly gathered around, exclaiming one after another.

Rin also leaned over to take a look and found that it was actually a blood-red human skeleton mixed with pale white. Thinking of the ghouls he had seen before, his heart suddenly beat wildly.

Oh no, it can't be that thing.

This human skeleton is still very fresh. After all, it is still stained with blood, and there are some internal organs mixed in. The scene is very bloody and creepy.

Many priestesses were almost scared to tears, closing their eyes and praying desperately, praying for the goddess's blessing.

The light balls generated by the priests' prayers finally reversed the gloomy and terrifying style of the painting.

Rin took a deep breath, pulled away the frightened person in front of him, and was about to step forward.

Xiye quickly grabbed his arm: "Brother, be careful."

"It's okay."

Rin waved his hand pretending to be calm and stood by the pit.

At this time, the brave ones had already taken the human bones out of the pit and spread them aside. The knight's gloves were all stained red and blue.

Rin didn't have the courage to pick up the bones to check. Now that he could get so close to observe, it was already his limit.

Judging from the scraps of meat at the scene, this person... seemed to have been eaten directly.

But the guards who had fought at the scene said that the fugitive looked like a short, slightly short and strong man with thick limbs, and he didn't look like a ghoul.

According to the monster illustrations, I haven't heard of any demons eating people.

The demons, who have intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, are also humanoid creatures. In their eyes, cannibalism is something that only lowly undead and monsters can do.

But if it weren't for the ghoul ogre, who the hell could have such a big appetite to eat a whole adult.

Rin's eyes finally stopped at the human skull.

This head is the cleanest place, as if it had been licked by a dog.

Lin felt sick and couldn't help muttering to herself: "If it's not the demons, the dead can't enter the Holy Road City... It can't be a human, if it was done by a human, it would be too cruel and worse than an animal, and it would be infected with prions."

"What do you mean by soft and sick?"

The curious voice of Webster behind him startled Lin, and she shuddered on the spot, "Old man, people scare people to death" and almost blurted out, "Old man, people scare people to death" .

Webster is old and knowledgeable, and he is not surprised by any strange things.

When he saw the bones, his face was expressionless.

"If it's human, it's likely to carry the curse of the Wendigo."

If humans eat each other, they will be infected with the curse called the Wendigo.

They usually show themselves in human form and have the same daily habits as humans, but if they can't eat humans for a certain period of time, they will become painful from the mind to the body, and it is difficult to restrain their greedy desires, and they will turn into monsters to hunt.

After listening to Webster's explanation, Lin touched his chin and nodded.

At this time, a knight rode up to report.

It turned out that he had learned from the interrogation of Night Demon that his other person was a human, and the sacrificial spear was now in the human's hands.

Other information had to be pried open his mouth.

After confirming that it was a human, Lin hurriedly said: "So it must be the Wendigo curser. Is there any way to find it?"

Webster's face was as stern as a coffin lid, and he sneered: "Dream catcher."

"Uh, isn't it to prevent nightmares?"

"Creating beautiful things is also what Wendigo fears."

Webster did not explain too much, and immediately asked people to go to various chambers of commerce stores to temporarily purchase all the dream catchers. If there were not enough, he would have them weaved on site.

The Holy Empire is best known for its weavings and religious products, and the dream catcher is one of them.

Ordinary resin leather tendons are of course useless. The industrial craftsmen of the Holy See have their own unique materials and methods, and there is no need to use alchemy at all.

Born in the Holy Church and under the blessing of the goddess, the locals do not use dream catchers at all, but this does not prevent them from selling them to tourists and maritime merchants.

Webster asked that dream catchers be hung from house to house, and then they were hung in every road and building, so that cannibals could not be polite.

After giving the instructions, Webster thanked Rin with great gratitude and told him to go back and rest quickly.

Rin also felt that he had nothing to do now, so he ordered a few dream catchers and prepared to go back to sleep.

It's not that he's afraid of the man-eating monster, but... the servants he saw today are getting better and better. Young Master Lin feels that he is probably going to have a nightmare, so he just needs a dream catcher.

After fighting Yuye for a long time, being manipulated by the Demon King, and then chasing the murderer all the way, Rin was indeed sleepy and tired.

So he carried a useless cat that was so sleepy that it almost fell to the ground, and followed the loyal dog who had been vigilantly protecting him, back to the room.

Not bothering to clean up the floor, Rin threw the waste cat on the bed, rushed Xiye to another bedroom, and returned to the master bedroom to fall asleep.

I slept until three o'clock in the morning.

Rin was woken up by strong depression, chest tightness and shortness of breath. He staggered about to sit up, but couldn't move at all. It took a long time before he regained consciousness.

When he lowered his head, he saw a head of blue hair sticking to his chest.

Rin was so angry at that time that she just turned towards Fei Miao's head and her brain collapsed.

"I wonder why I feel so uncomfortable. I was almost crushed to death by a fat cat."

Fei Miao covered her head, shook her head, and continued sleeping next to him, without waking up at all.

Rin sighed, sat up, and when he turned his head, he saw a pair of red star eyes staring directly at him, and he was immediately startled.

I saw Xiye kneeling on the other side of the bed, eagerly waiting for her to get up.

Take a look at the bed on her side and see that this stupid sword master also slept here all night.

It's really weird. Didn't I take them all back to the room last night?

Why do they all appear on my young master’s bed?

Could it be because of memory confusion.

"Brother, good afternoon, you didn't have a nightmare last night, did you?"

Xiye's concerned voice sounded, and Rin shook her head and stretched.

"Not so much the devil, but he was almost crushed to death by the hero."

Rin complained and glanced at the clock. Seeing that it was almost 12 o'clock, he took off his pajamas and put on his shirt regardless of Xiye's gaze.

"I'm going to wash up and make lunch. Sister, help me wake up the useless cat."

The sister's voice blurted out so naturally that Xiye's ears immediately stood up. She was inexplicably excited as if she had been hit by adrenaline, and she nodded repeatedly.

Rin didn't think there was anything wrong and went into the bathroom instead.

After washing up, I walked out, poured myself a glass of warm water, sat on the sofa, drank water, and thought about what to make for lunch.

Suddenly I scanned the floor below the coffee table and found two things.

A stack of A4-sized booklets, and something that looks like a hotel bell.

Rin curiously took out the book and opened it, only to see that the first page contained instructions for using some small magic devices and mechanisms in the room.

This is obviously carefully prepared for Rin, a quasi-"saint".

If something happens, just press the bell and someone will come in to serve you. You can call for anything you want to eat.

"So corrupt..."

Rin sighed, this saint turned out to live a life where she could put her hands on clothes and open her mouth for food. She was even more aristocratic than a noble.

Rin was not interested, threw the book away, turned around and entered the kitchen.

I didn't eat well all day yesterday, so I have to prepare a table today. Anyway, I have a bottomless stomach and I'm not afraid of waste.

While Rin was busy, Yuye had already brought Emilia out, and the two of them helped.

It took more than an hour to get all the dishes on the table.

As soon as Rin opened the thermal cover, before she could sit down, the doorbell rang.

Rin opened the door with an impatient expression, only to see Waguang standing at the door.

She nodded to Rin with a smile, and then said: "I have something to report to Master Rin...ah, it smells so good."

He Guang poked his head, bypassed Lin's body, and saw a table of dishes at a glance, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Can I have a meal here?"

Rin thought it was more generous to have a meal, so she stepped out of the way and made a welcoming gesture.

Just as he was about to close the door, he happened to see Webster walking hurriedly on the road.

The little old man walked over directly and said with respect: "About the Wendigo..."

Before he could finish speaking, Rin waved her hands repeatedly.

"We still have to eat, I don't want to hear that."

Heguang heard the teacher's voice and ran out again.

"Teacher, let's eat together too, Rin-sama made it by yourself!"

"You want to call His Highness." Webster reprimanded with a straight face and said calmly, "Then you are disturbing me."

Chapter 10 It’s like you go home for the New Year

Rin's eyes were a little dull, looking at the full table of people and the cups of tea that were rushing towards him, a big question mark appeared on his head.

The useless cat on the side grabbed the hem of the skirt that was resting on his knees with his paws, and his mouth had become ω-shaped. He seemed expressionless. Rin, who was familiar with her, knew that this guy was angry.

The reason was simple, she didn't have enough to eat!

Even if Xiye and Rin, who could eat, were added to this table of dishes, she could enjoy half of them happily.

What's more, Xiye was not picky about food at all, so except for the three vegetables that Rin made, the rest were all her favorites!

And now, there are six more people at the table!

Rin sat in the main seat at the table, with the hero on his left hand and the swordsman on his right hand. Counting clockwise from the useless cat, the first one was Ms. Ophelia, who ranked second among the bishops and looked only in her twenties, but her age was unknown.

Oh, yes, her ancestors were half-elves, so her life span was about twice that of humans, and she also had the anti-aging genes of elves, so she was still young.
