Juliana’s workshop Chapter 45: Mr. Tours.


  Turs will never know that his appearance at the beginning caused Olga and Padin’s alert, and Julius and Romeona’s nervousness and fear, not only because of him It is a strange visitor. A stranger who is embarrassed and fully armed is indeed easy to cause other people’s anxiety, but what if it is not a strange living person, but a pair of strange bones?

   The fear and anxiety that it brings is probably stronger than that of a malicious stranger.

   A pair of movable bones, a pair of skeletons in tattered old armor and a broken sword, if there is still a green light in the eye sockets, it is more likely to bring fear.

   No matter where it is, an undead creature is something more difficult and terrifying than a living person. Cruel robbers, cunning thieves, no matter how disgusting and scary, many times only need a very simple sword to make these sources of anxiety disappear. As long as it is a living person, there will always be fatal weaknesses, throat, heart…There will always be a place where one blow can be fatal.

   But with a movable skeleton, there is no such weakness. Its bones are not afraid of swords, and the sword falling on it will only make the sword curl. Even if the bones are knocked into pieces by a mace and a heavy scepter, the spirit body lodged on this pair of bones will restore the broken bones to their original positions, so that they can maintain the appearance they were in before they were alive-even if they have lost their flesh and blood. , There is only one skeleton left, and this is still the case.

   The skeleton is not without weakness, nor is it impossible to knock down. But for ordinary people, it is far more troublesome to deal with such an undead creature than a robber or a thief-the thief will die, and the skeleton will not disappear easily, because it has already died once. An existence that keeps standing up even if it is knocked down is more stressful than a living person who can hardly get up after falling down.

  The fear of death of those who are born will also continue to these existences that are closest to death. An active skeleton has undoubtedly faced death, experienced and experienced death. For it, death is no longer something to be feared, but an existence like air. The gloomy light in the eyes and the cold breath from the mutilated mouth were all proof of death.

  The undead can always bring the greatest fear. Even the long-experienced fighters will be nervous when facing a nearly undead opponent. If an undead creature like a skeleton has enough patience and strength to break it to its original shape, then the spirit body or soul residue lodged on it will also drift away. Or a pastor with a pious heart can bring the dead to rest through the power of magic and prayer. But to deal with such an undead creature, the effort required is ultimately more troublesome than ordinary bandits and bandits.

  Lulunaka touched Tours’s skull and said goodbye to him again. It’s different from shaking hands with Tours just now. This time, it’s an official goodbye.

   The one who shook hands with Lulunaka just now was actually the spirit body of Tours. When Tours was about to leave and stand up, the faint green light on the skeleton-Tours’s body-went out, and replaced by a faint blue spirit body with the outline of a human figure standing. When I got up, I could vaguely see a man’s face on the face of the spirit body. This is probably the true face of Tours, not the head with only bones and teeth.

   It was also at this time that Olga and Padin saw what Tours really looked like, instead of a talking and laughing skeleton. As for Lulu Naka, whether she was facing this skeleton frame or the spirit body with a strange appearance, her face remained unchanged. Regardless of whether Tours is a bone or a spirit body, it seems to her that no matter what changes her appearance, it is all Tours, not a bone or a spirit body.

   “He’s gone,” Olga said.

   “Yes, I have indeed gone far.” Padin looked in the direction where Tours had disappeared. Turse’s spirit body began to become thinner and thinner when it left, until the end of the road in everyone’s sight, completely disappeared. Whether he left or dissipated, neither Padin nor Tours didn’t know. “Maybe it has disappeared with the wind.”

   “Nothing like this will happen.” Lulunaka interjected suddenly, and she looked back at Olga and Padin who were standing behind her, “With the light I gave him, then he He will be able to return to the King’s Fort all the way without incident. The lights will protect him and let him walk in the gap between reality and the spiritual world. No one can find him and stop him until he returns to the King Fort. The lights I gave him, probably It will last until he returns to the walls of King’s Castle. As long as he can see his home in front of his eyes, he should be satisfied and rest in peace.”

   Speaking of this, Lulunaka stretched out her finger and nodded her lips, “But even if he is not satisfied and wants to enter the city, it is impossible. After the lights go out, he has nothing to protect himself. , Will soon disappear. Whether you are a person or a ghost, I don’t think you can be too greedy, just be content.”

  Turs’s bones hold the lantern Lulunaka gave him. As a spirit body, he naturally cannot take away the lantern, but he can take away the flame of the lantern. The fire Lulunaka lit the lantern was not ordinary firelight, the blue firelight was the same color as the Turs spirit body. There was still a little flame in the lantern in the hands of the skeleton, but it quickly disappeared. The fire did not go out, but in the hands of the spirit body, turned into the same blue lantern, and became the light in the hands of Tours to illuminate his path.

   As for the dilapidated lantern, it was left in the hands of the bones of Tours. Whether it is the bones of Tours or the lantern, they are already very old and dilapidated. The lantern was covered with rust, and Tours’ bone racks and armor were covered with moss and cracks. Two things of the same age are combined to form a living history.

   “This lantern will accompany you in your burial, Mr. Tours.” Lulunaka said to the bones of Tours. “This lantern is used to guide the bewildered dead like you…but it’s too much. If it is old, you will use it again at most, and it will be broken. The last user is you, I’m still very happy.”

   Obviously, this lantern is not something that would be on a carriage, and no one would be willing to carry such an old and worthless thing.

   “I won’t do this kind of work anymore. It makes me look like a grave guard who gives away the end~IndoMTL.com~ very troublesome.” Lulunaka looked down at Turs’s skeleton. This is just a simple bone frame, without the soul of Tours, and even a little remnant of the soul, it has become a real dead thing. If there is no other spirit body or soul residue polymer attached to this bone shelf, then it is harmless.

   Lulunaka raised her right hand, and she held something in her right hand. It was a triangular arrow, rusty, and the sharp part was smoothed out. Lulunaka said: “But it’s not a waste of time to meet a funny guy like you by chance. Although the arrow that hits your arm is nothing special and doesn’t contain any poison, it’s still a long-distance journey. It made you feel exhausted, the wound infection worsened, and then you fell into a quagmire–maybe it’s still a smelly quagmire of blood and mud–when you wake up, you think you are still alive, but you are actually dead.”

  Lulunaka raised her head and looked south. “I escaped from the battlefield back then and wanted to go south and return to my family, but after this walk, I walked for more than a hundred years, and I haven’t walked out of this forest… I don’t think you think anything is wrong, right? In terms of more than a hundred years of time, it was actually just a few days.”

  Lulunaka knew that Tours were no longer here, but she still said this to the bones of Tours. These words were not suitable for Tours to hear. She said these words as if talking to herself now, also because Tours had already left.

   These words were also heard by Olga and Padin. These words weren’t for them, but they heard it, and it didn’t matter to Lulunaka. It’s just that they can have the patience to chat with a skeleton frame instead of taking up a weapon to smash him.
