The Whispering Verses Chapter 1698: The Past of Tomb Robbers (asking for votes)

"Relationship..."

Druit Giles showed a wry smile:

"Sir, believe it or not, I was entangled. Yes, Miss Edwards, she entangled me by herself. I will explain it to the professor when I get there, but I can guarantee that I was absolutely not, absolutely not. No one’s soul is bound.”

While he was speaking, the little girl's soul was spinning around him, as if she had discovered something interesting.

In order to prevent the frail man from dying on the road, Shade hired a carriage to return to Cat Tail Lane with him, where Professor Manning lived. The first thing he did when he entered the door was to tell the professor that there was a soul that he could not see entering the door with the two of them.

The professor was startled, but it was just a startle. When he was young, he went to various places in the Old World for archeology and saw everything. Compared to deadly things like relics, ghosts are just a trivial matter.

The three of them sat down in the living room of the professor's house, and the tea had been prepared by the servant. Professor Manning was more concerned about the body of Durut Giles. The latter claimed that he should be able to recover, but in Shade's view, the curse was not as easy as he said.

"Before I start asking questions, we all need to make one thing clear - tomb robbing is wrong."

This is Shade’s opening remarks:

"I met a lady named Edwards in the Green Lake area. She was very angry at you for leading people to steal the tombs of her ancestors. Although all the tomb robbers were dead, you are still alive. . I respect the professor and won’t do anything to you, but I don’t guarantee what she will do.”

The man’s lips twitched and he sank on the sofa dejectedly:

"I know robbing graves is wrong. But isn't that what archeology, excavation and finding new knowledge are all about? Moreover, I thought Edwards had no descendants."

"Archaeology will not dig up tombs that are still being guarded... I know that the general public has similar prejudices against archeology and tomb robbing, but we are definitely not qualified and legal tomb robbers."

When it comes to his career, Professor Manning is quite serious:

"Young man, you took the wrong path, turn back now."

The floating soul clapped its hands happily:

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't care if Giles robbed my tomb. I don't like that dark place, I like Giles!"

The spirit body glowed slightly, indicating high emotions. She seemed to really like this man. Noticing the way Shade looked at her, the spirit body quickly floated behind the depressed man and hid, then revealed its head and stuck out its tongue at Shade.

"First question: How did you discover the hidden cemetery of the Edwards family? I also found it under the guidance of the Edwards descendants."

Shad asked, Durut Giles sighed:

"I have a friend in the City of Glass. In the fall of two years ago, he sent me some old things that were said to be the old belongings of the former lord family in the Green Lake area. Such old things can be found in the cities on both sides of Green Lake. Very valuable to some collectors

I originally only used it as supporting evidence for a new thesis. Unexpectedly, I found a notebook among those old things. Using a special revealing potion on the back of the notebook, writing can appear. It records the tomb. Garden matters. I was surprised at the time, thinking it was the old cemetery of the declining Ring Warlock family, so I wanted to try my luck there. ”

This shouldn’t be a lie:

"What exactly did you and those tomb robbers encounter on the island? Only one of your companions is still alive, but he is also crazy and can't ask anything."

"That's not my companion, he's the one I hired... We landed on the island at night. At first it was just heavy fog, endless fog that couldn't be cleared away by any means. When we followed The records in the notebook made everyone lose their sense of direction. Two people ran around in panic and got lost in the fog. The others waited for three hours before they returned to normal. My mental state is very bad."

As he spoke, a look of horror appeared on his face. That adventure left a deep impression on him. The girl's soul gently patted his back in an attempt to comfort him, but she couldn't actually interfere with reality.

"I still have that view. Even as a tomb robber, you made the wrong choice. You young people who have been sitting in offices and schools for a long time really don't understand anything."

Professor Manning shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Xia De continued to ask:

"Then what?"

"After the sense of direction was restored, we entered the ossuary as planned, opened the coffin and took away the burial objects. As I thought, the tomb did contain the knowledge of the ring magician, and there was even a relic... ..It was just when I was picking up the grave goods and accidentally touched the body that I said, 'It's so pitiful that he died at such a young age,' and then she appeared."

He looked helplessly at the soul beside him. Rusty Edwards had his hands around his neck, looking like he wanted to strangle him.

"She was not as...human as she is now. I can only think of this adjective. She was expressionless at that time, not like a normal soul at all, but like some kind of automatic answering demon. Like. I was worried about getting into trouble, so I didn't pay attention to her. After all, such undead souls couldn't leave their corpses very far. As long as they didn't speak, they would be fine. I grabbed the valuable burial objects and then thought about gathering the tomb robbers to leave. , this island is weirder than I thought, but those guys who are extremely stressed and blinded by greed want to find more things on the island, and are not even willing to let me, the 'guide', leave alone. . So we had a dispute and almost fought. Fortunately, as a ring warlock, I was able to suppress them."

Although his narrative was simple, both Shade and Professor Manning could imagine the thrilling confrontation in the fog that night.

"We were noisy, and something on the island was awakened by us. Some invisible monsters that did not look like humans attacked us, and we lost some of our men when we fled in a hurry. It was she who left herself The cemetery protected us, otherwise so many people would never have left."

He looked at the soul next to him again. Rusty Edwards smiled and clapped his hands, this time singing a ballad that no one could understand.

"We escaped to the dock, boarded the boat and wanted to leave. Then when we escaped from the heavy fog, we encountered a water ghost on the lake... Oh, this is probably the retribution I deserve, I have never seen so many undead in my life. They are densely lurking under the water, trying to pull everyone into the abyss. Hundreds? Thousands? No, I don't know, even now. Occasionally I dream about that scene in my dreams... She protected us, but only two of the three boats escaped. My pen was also lost at that time. I didn't even have the courage to go to the lake to look for it afterwards. Return it. After leaving the island and erasing the memories of the tomb robbers, I almost fled the Green Lake area, not even paying attention to what the tomb robbers took."

He covered his face, subconsciously twitching slightly as the frightening memories were mentioned again.

Shad and Professor Manning looked at each other. The professor rubbed his temples and stood up to add hot water to Durut Giles' tea cup. Shad looked at the empty air in the professor's eyes. :

"He's finished talking, it's your turn. What happened to you? Why can you leave that island? Why do you follow him?"

But the soul of Rust Edwards ignored Shad at all, and she hid behind Durut Giles again and made a high-pitched voice:

"Giles, Giles, he is so scary!"

The man subconsciously made a protective movement. Seeing Shade looking at him carefully, he said dejectedly:

"Let me answer. I have also understood some things in the past two years. She was able to leave that Devil's Island not only because she hated it there, but also because of me. My core spiritual runes are very special, Enlightenment-[ Soul], Enlightenment-[Fusion], Enlightenment-[Guidance]. This greatly strengthens my own soul and allows me to protect other souls. I am probably a natural master of the undead, but unfortunately I don’t like corpses and souls... ....Oh, don't cry, I didn't say I didn't like you... Rust has been following me for the past two years, and she has gradually regained her sanity. I could tell that she couldn't even speak before. She was originally under control, but got better after leaving the island.

She protected me back then, and I am willing to take her with me now. This can be considered my atonement. And... I was tainted with a curse on the island, and even though I lost the wealth, the knowledge, and the relic, the curse still haunts me. If she hadn't been by my side to help relieve my pain, I would have died long ago. ”

"She is very powerful?"

Xia De asked, and the professor looked at Shade in awe as he spoke to a ball of air.

"Yes, she is more powerful than any ring warlock I know, otherwise she would not have been able to help us escape from the island. Although she is not very good at talking, she is actually very smart."

The man pursed his lips and looked up at Shade. This was the first time he and Shade looked at each other. Shade could see his vulnerability, fear and worry in his eyes:

"Sir, I can see that you are very interested in the Edwards family, but please do not explore any further. In my dream, I was exposed to Rust's memory and her fear of the family and the island. The transformed incubus is terrifying. Edwards and the island are definitely not that simple. Her father, the first lord of Edwards in the records, is a man who can truly be called a devil.

He trembled again, and it took him a long time to utter the words that shocked both Shade and Professor Manning:

"Rust Edwards was, in fact, killed by her father. Yes, I saw that scene in my dream. From Rust's perspective, she was killed by her father... ....Strangled to death."
