???? When Xia De took out the last signed document, Luvia reached out and took another framed document:
???? "Look at this."
???? Xia De looked over, and the first thing he saw was the red seal in the lower left corner, which was the king's personal seal. Not the "Lion Lion", the father of the current King Margaret, but the King of the previous generation. This document is the letter that His Majesty the King recruited local stonemasons to build the colossus in Willondale. Unexpectedly, it was put together with the documents of the Stonemasons Association when it was first established. This is enough to show the weight of this matter in the Stonemasons Association.
???? Luvia looked at the letter with great interest, and Xia De carefully distinguished those distorted Kasenlik words from the establishment contract of the Stonemasons Association. Although the group of stonemasons back then could write their own names, their handwriting was worse than that of the foreigners who just came to this world last summer and were getting familiar with the local script.
???? Fortunately, he finally distinguished the surname "Fleming" from it, which shows that among the founders of the Stonemasons Association, Fleming was really a person. Looking at this simple contract again, the founders equally share the equity of the association and agree not to transfer this power to the hands of those in power. Mr. Fleming also has a share, which was probably inherited by others after he disappeared, so now few people in the association mention his name. "I found it."
???? Xia De said softly to Luvia, pointing to the name on the document. Luvia stretched her head to look, and was about to say something, when suddenly, a bang, bang, bang~ sound came from the side, and the two looked at the door in surprise, and someone knocked on the door at this time:
????"who?"
???? The knock on the door only rang three times before disappearing. Whether it was Shad or Luvia, they were sure that they must have heard correctly.
???? Xia De handed the documents to Luvia and asked her to restore the safe, while he approached the door carefully. I put my hand on the door, but felt nothing. After opening the door, there was no one in the dark corridor.
???? "Is this... stone chips?"
????The eyes caught some traces on the ground, and when I bent down, I realized that they were stone chips that would only be produced when carving stone statues. Listen carefully again, and there is a slight tinkling sound from a distance, as if the hammer head is hitting the chisel rhythmically.
???? At this time, Luvia, who had locked the safe, also walked to the door, and she naturally heard the sound coming from the empty corridor:
???? "Really appeared?"
???? Looking at Xia De suspiciously, Xia De slightly shook his head and said that he didn't know what was going on: "First knocked on the door, and then made this sound, it's a standard horror storyline." Luvia threw out a coin:
???? "Danger...not big, not as dangerous as in the past."
???? Walking with a fortune teller, everything will become very simple.
???? "Okay, let's go and have a look. Prepare to fight, and hope not to make too much noise."
???? Following the subtle voice, Xia De and Luvia returned from the third floor to the second floor, and from the second floor to the first floor. It's just that when they came to the first floor, the clanging sound disappeared immediately.
????Fortunately, Luvia was by her side. Her divination led the two of them to the courtyard behind the building of the Stonemasons Association, and then they entered the stone statue warehouse in the north. That was also this afternoon. Xia De and the playwright warehouse to go to.
???? The door of the warehouse was closed tightly. After Xia De unlocked it, he saw that it was pitch black inside. It was really as scary as the middle-aged stonemason said. Normal people face this situation, of course it is best not to go in, otherwise it will be a standard horror story. But for Shad and Luvia, ghosts are nothing to worry about. The two walked in together, but walked around but saw nothing. So he could only leave from the door in disappointment, not even forgetting to lock the warehouse again from the outside.
???? "Oh, I was scared to death, I was almost discovered."
???? The old man sighed in the dark warehouse, and with the appearance of a faint orange light, the fire from the middle of the warehouse illuminated the small area in the warehouse.
???? The light did not come from gas lamps or candles, but someone set up a coal stove in the warehouse.
???? At this moment, a huge shadow is transmitted by the light of the stove onto the wall of the warehouse, and
The owner of the shadow is an old man with a bandage on his forehead, dark blue suspender overalls, and half-white hair who was carving a stone statue beside the ignited coal stove.
???? He seems to be dealing with a standing portrait. Now the body of the stone statue has been carved almost, only the face has no facial features.
???? The old man put down the hammer and chisel in his hand:
???? "You can still encounter this kind of thing after you die. That young man just now looks even scarier than the exorcist priest in the church last year."
???? He muttered softly, and then suddenly noticed the sound of stones rubbing against the ground around him. Startled in his heart, the old mason subconsciously showed a look of fear, and then realized that he died last autumn:
???? "I am also an undead, who is afraid of whom?"
???? Although comforting myself in this way, the old soul is still a little scared. He nervously observed his surroundings, and finally found something unusual. On the edge of the charcoal stove that accompanied the manifestation of his own soul, there stood a stone statue that he had never seen in this warehouse.
???? The old stonemason is quite sure that this is definitely not something in the Stonemasons Association. Later, the horror legends told by other old people in childhood appeared in the memory:
???? "Weeping Angel? Horror protagonist who can petrify anything alive!"
???? Although he didn't know if the rumored monster was also effective for souls, he still followed the old people's experience, covered his face with his hands, and squatted down with his back to the fire. I didn't hear the sound for a long time, and was about to take a sneak peek behind me when I heard footsteps.
???? "Footsteps? Isn't it a stone statue?"
???? The soul of the old stonemason turned around, just in time to see Xia De who was looking at him probing. He took two steps back in fright, and then thought again that he was the undead:
???? "Young man, go away! There is a scary monster here!" The old mason kindly reminded, Xia De thought for a while:
???? "Is this what you mean?"
????He covered his face again, and the old stonemason looked at him in astonishment, knowing that he had been caught in a trap: "That girl obviously went out with you!"
???? "Of course it's an illusion." Xia De said relaxedly:
???? "Don't leave here, I'll call my companion in and we'll talk again. Don't leave, I know you're here, you can't escape."
???? When Xia De and Luvia walked along the path among the many stone statues and returned to the center of the warehouse, the soul of the old stonemason was carving stone statues there again. Although the old man appeared to be an entity, Xia De and Luvia both saw that it was actually an undead. However, this is just the soul of an ordinary person. Although it has some special means and is good at hiding, it is not even an evil spirit. Attracting the two of them with sound and controlling the stone statue here is already the best he can do.
???? After the two stood still around the light of the fire, the old man stopped his work and put the hammer and chisel on the small cart beside him. He stared at his work, his cloudy eyes glowing in the firelight: "You've got me, but I'm going to say—young people, it's wrong to steal."
???? The soul turns its head to look at the two people. The "turning head" here is really turning the head. Only the head moves, and the body and neck do not move:
???? "If you are just taking other belongings, I will not knock on the door to warn you, but you should not touch the contents of those safes, which are the foundation of the association-so I am not some evil spirit, please Don't destroy me."
???? "We are not here to destroy you, as you said, you are not evil spirits. I also want to declare that we are not thieves. You see, we didn't take anything."
???? Xia De spread his hands, indicating that he was empty-handed:
???? "Actually, we came here just to take a look at those documents, not because of its value."
???? "Yes, sir, if we are bad people, there are ways to directly torture the soul to get the answer."
????dew
???? Weiya also said, the old mason nodded, and continued to turn his head to look at the stone sculpture he carved. Interestingly, stone carvings and hearth fires are also part of his soul, which are special abilities possessed by this spirit body:
???? "It's fine if you don't steal anything. If you don't steal anything, you have nothing to do with me."
???? The warehouse door creaked in the distance, and he wanted Shad and Luvia to leave. But neither of them moved, Xia De asked curiously:
???? "Are you the founder of the association~www.mtlnovel.com~ Mr. Fleming?"
???? "Oh, no, you misunderstood the young man, how could I be such a great person?" The old man hurriedly shook his head:
???? "My name is John Humphrey, a very ordinary stonemason. Last fall..." "Last fall, I was killed during the earthquake..."
???? Xia De suddenly realized, and at the same time understood why this soul was still here after the church's exorcism ceremony. Obviously, this is not an evil spirit, even among all the souls Xia De has seen, this is the most sober soul. And the church probably also found traces of this soul, but if it wasn't for the evil spirit, the church wouldn't interfere too much. After all, the soul that resides in the material world will leave sooner or later.
???? He reached out to touch the Mithril Cube in his pocket, and found no response before he remembered that Thomas Granger left the cube nearly seventy years ago, and the soul in front of him died only last year .
???? "Yes, during the earthquake last year, I was the unlucky ghost who was crushed to death by the most perfect work I carved. Young man, do you know me?"
???? The old man was a little surprised:
???? "Did you listen to what the people in the association said? It's really good to be remembered." He smiled contentedly.
