Chapter 27 Mason Order

“Those people say they don’t want to go with you.”

Sigmund said awkwardly to the self-proclaimed presiding judge.

“Why? Not happy with what I’m getting paid?”

“No.”

“Or they don’t believe what I’m saying is true. ?”

“How could it be possible, they all saw that monster’s body.”

After William killed the web weaver, the soul-eater nerubian parasitic in the miner’s body They vomited out, and a few miners whose limbs were severely parasitic were transformed into Moon Realm monsters. The transformed limbs also turned into black salt crystals and dissipated with the death of the web weaver.

Fortunately, no one died because of this, and the most parasitic people were only disabled.

The huge difference between the revised cognition in the past two months and the current status quo threw them into confusion, and many people could not calm enough to understand human speech for a long time, until William released a [Wide Area Calm] made these people quiet down.

After a simple explanation, William arranged for Sigmund and Colt to appease the miners, while he wiped out all the imprisoned wraiths, and then went to the hill of skulls to check.

He is familiar with the style of this kind of skull stacked into a temple. Before the Moon Realm worship in the Blackwater Kingdom was completely eliminated, this skull temple was also a semi-public Moon Realm worship altar.

The belief of the Moon Realm Three Goddess prevailed in the former Blackwater Kingdom, and many customs and habits that have been passed down to the present were also formed at that time.

Such as burial and ancestor worship.

Because there are real undead spells in this world, in order to prevent zombies, ghosts or water ghosts from wreaking havoc, the various races of the Vic continent have popularized cremation a long time ago.

But it is the Blackwater Marsh area that persists in burial to this day, because people here believe that cremating the body of the deceased will dissipate the spirit of the ancestors and make them unable to communicate with their ancestors.

Even though The Last Watcher later debunked that this custom was largely a conspiracy of the Hungry Lady to expand her realm, and many of the so-called ancestral apparitions were nothing more than the Whispering Queen’s attempt to weave a web of conspiracy. In disguise, most patriarchs dreamed of dreams were also a means of Nightmare Lord’s use of dreams to absorb the intense emotions of mortals.

But the inertia that has lasted for thousands of years is not so easy to change.

When William was wandering in Thorn City before, he found that although Holy Spirit Church can provide a full set of cremation and requiem ceremony, more local residents still choose to bury the dead in the large cemetery outside the city. .

The temple of skulls in front of you is a manifestation. When there was a natural disaster or war in the Blackwater Kingdom that year, and a large number of dead people came but it was too late to bury them, they would choose to leave only the heads of the dead for burial, and cremated their bodies to prevent the spread of the great plague.

And this kind of place where the skulls are stacked can easily become a place for the Moon Realm cult to hold ceremony after the fact.

But why is it under the Silver Stream Mine? More importantly, what is the purpose here?

William walked up to the statue of the three Goddess, looking for some clues there, when Sigmund came over and told him that some miners would not accept his triple market pay to hire them to mine relics.

“Why is that? I don’t think they have the right to refuse.”

Sigmund’s face changed slightly at William’s words, and he hesitated for a moment.

“Your Excellency the Presiding Judge, everyone here is very grateful to you for saving them, and they all believe that you are a benevolent person…”

William hearing this turned his head.

“Do you mean to think that I’m holding them hostage with kindness, or that I’m threatening them with strength?”

“Absolutely not, including me About half of the miners are willing to accept your commission, but the rest…”

“I see…”

William sighed.

“They didn’t dare to go with me because they were worried that I would kill that court mage, and that I would completely anger that Duke Simon, right?”

Sigmund slightly denominated.

“As long as he’s in the Blackwater Province, no one dares to defy Duke Simon, and even if he deceives us and casts some unknown magic, he’s still the lord of life and death. …Those people feel that if they go with you, the man who killed the Duke’s court mages, the nature will be completely different.”

“You know why I say they have no power to refuse?”

Sigmund shook the head.

William sighed.

“They don’t come with me. There is no way out.”

He looked towards the miners who were unwilling to accept his employment.

They gathered together to discuss something in a low voice. Seeing William looked towards them, they all bowed their heads and saluted, with pleasing smiles on their faces.

He shook the head deep in one’s heart.

“The shackles parasitic in the body are easy to remove, but the shackles buried in the soul cannot be removed.”

William sighed and asked towards Sigmund after he finished speaking.

“What about the rest of the people who are willing to go?”

“Including those who are already injured, and those who are willing to go to other provinces to make a living after earning this money.”

“What about you, are you also planning to earn this money to make a living in other provinces?”

Sigmund shook the head.

“Your Majesty the Presiding Judge, I heard you call yourself The Last Watcher, The Thirteenth Tribunal. Although I don’t know what The Thirteenth Tribunal means, from the monster’s reaction, you have Judging from the strength shown, it must not be a simple name.”

“So what?”

“This may be my only chance.”

“A chance to get ahead?”

“A chance for revenge.”

Sigmund said word by word, then he gritted his teeth and continued.

“There is still a chance to embark on the path of magic again.”

William nodded, then took out six blue gems from his pocket.

“Many years ago, The Last Watcher had a branch dedicated to building weapons and fortresses, which gathered the best architects, Forging Masters, Enchanters, and Alchemists in the continent. Next The ruins of the fortress to be excavated also came from their hands.”

William threw the six gems into the air, the six gems hovered in the midair, and the flashing electric light would They connect into a hexagon and outline a rippling Transmission Gate.

“The name of this branch is the Order of the Masons. I have inquired about it before. This organization was dissolved by the Empire after the conquest of Terra and ceased to exist.”

Looking at this The side suddenly opened a Transmission Gate, and there was a burst of exclamation in the crowd of miners not far away.

Sigmund, on the other hand, was fascinated by the dilapidated and ancient fortress on the other side of the Transmission Gate.

“Sigmund, take someone who wants to go through this door.”

William said to the stunned Sigmund, before he could answer, he then raised his voice, Said in a very solemn tone.

“However, as long as you pass through this door, it means the contract between you and me is signed.”
