Son of the Olden Days

In the early autumn of the Dark Calendar 715, Sol Drake finally ushered in his fourteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony and left Phoenix Abbey in Greyscreen Town to become a grave guard in the wilderness.

Those who knew Saul a little bit, cast incomprehensible glances at Saul's choice.

After all, with Saul's appearance and fairly straight figure, it is not difficult to hook up with a rich widow and have a life of worry-free life, but he chose the tomb guard, most of the homeless people have nowhere to stay. A career chosen only when it is a last resort.

In fact, Saul himself did not expect this result.

After leaving the monastery, the first thing is to find a place to live. Naturally, he can no longer live at the bottom of the well unless he chooses to become a handyman and stay in the monastery.

When I have a place to stay, I will look for a job. As for what he can do and what he should do, Saul has not yet concluded for a while, he is ready to take a look first.

With this feeling, Thor stepped out of the main entrance of the monastery, left the place where he had lived for fourteen years, and came to the sign in the middle of the main street.

Various information will often appear here. The guardian will post some important matters of Gray Screen on the notice board, and the guilds will post recruitment matters here. Occasionally, there will be some forces that cannot be solved internally. But a generously rewarding risk commission.

In addition to various general job recruitment information, hunters, woodcutters, bakers, shop guys, and adventurers with certain combat abilities, in short, there are various types.

What's left are some leisure conversations such as who cut off whose head, and who slept whose woman.

Soon, in the chaotic information, Sol noticed an unremarkable message in the corner of the sign.

"Look here, we now need a brave grave guard to guard the peace of the dead. He must be strong and agile. Finally, he must go forward bravely and have a certain responsibility. If you are interested, please consult the civic guards." Recruitment The information says so.

Almost without hesitation, Thor raised his hand and tore off the recruitment certificate, turned and walked towards the location of the militia.

In fact, there is no need to reveal the list to apply for the application. The reason why Sol ripped off the recruitment certificate is because it will not be seen by others, although there may be no competitors in this profession.

What really attracted Saul to make his decision in an instant was naturally not the rhetoric in the recruitment information, nor was it because of the poor salary of the tomb-keeper with five silver wolves a month, but the last one.

The tomb-keeper will temporarily obtain the right to use and reside in a tomb-keeper's hut, but he will not have the right to own it. At the same time, he will also have to undertake the maintenance of the tomb-keeper's hut.

This means two things for Sol, one is that he has a place to live, the other is that the hut is built in the wilderness, and the second is especially important.

The grave guard in Gray Screen can hardly be regarded as a profession, because the managers of Gray Screen have never officially admitted this, and the meager income and low status make this a dispensable errand. There is no brilliance in the eyes of most people in the town.

What makes people even less optimistic is that the gravekeeper is an extremely dangerous profession like a farmer, and they may face risks and death from the wilderness at any time, because the places where they work are outside the town, closer to the dark wilderness around the town.

The difference is that the farmers are always protected by the town’s militia group. As long as they are willing to sweat and dare to take certain risks, they can easily lead a fairly prosperous life.

As for the tomb guard, the location is not within the patrol area of ​​the town. Even if he accidentally died in his cemetery one day, he was just a pile of bones that no one paid attention to.

The application procedure is much simpler than imagined. The handler only roughly recorded Sol’s name, identity, and whereabouts and other relevant information, and then affirmed the duties and responsibilities of the tombkeeper, and put a rusty key. Give it to Saul.

No paperwork was signed, and there was no contempt by the handlers. After all, in this world full of ants, it takes effort to despise others.

So on the day Saul left the monastery, he quickly became a tombkeeper and came to his new home in the wilderness.

This is a desolate cemetery on the east side of Gray Screen Town, separated by many wheat fields in the town.

Around the cemetery is a circle of skewed and disrepaired fences. At the junction of the fences stands a lonely wooden house. This is Sol's new home.

The entire cemetery is not too big, just like a few acres of wheat fields.

Tombstones, tombs, and crosses are arranged slantingly in the cemetery. Of course, weeds and vines and skeleton wanderers who crawl out every dawn are indispensable. The whole picture is full of lifeless mess.

Geographically speaking, this cemetery is equivalent to between the Sleeping Forest and Gray Screen Town, like a nail in the wilderness, but closer to the town. If any monsters run out of the sleeping forest, the cemetery is likely to bear the brunt of the wave.

Now that I have chosen this career, I am naturally prepared to anticipate and accept the hidden threats. Thor knew very well that if he wanted to be strong, he had to enter the wilderness to hunt for the devil soul. This was an inevitable link.

Sol's mentor, the unknown old man had also warned him long ago.

"If you want to overcome your fear, go to the most terrible place."

Of course, having courage does not mean being fearless, but even if you have fear in your heart, you still go forward courageously.

In Thor's view, the matter of entering the wilderness and adventure, the team has the advantage of the team, and the individual also has personal convenience.

Now everyone around has their own lives, and each other's risk tolerance has also changed. So Sol was going to go it alone, and the tombkeeper's hut that appeared in time became a stronghold for advance and retreat.

Pushing open the wooden door of the hut, Sol checked the environment and general facilities inside the house.

There are not many things, a bed, a storage cabinet, a small round table and two small stools, and the floor is a bit decayed. Saul is very satisfied, having these things is enough for survival.

What surprised him even more was that a cellar was found in the corner of the house. Although there was nothing underneath and the space was smaller than the bottom of the well, it still gave Sol a sense of familiarity as if he had not left the bottom of the well.

After getting acquainted, everything went according to order, and Thor began his new life.

He spent two days cleaning and repairing everything that could be repaired in the hut, including the cabinet, roof and floor. It took another day to reinforce and repair the fence around the cemetery, which was slightly stronger than the furnishings, to at least make them look better.

The overall work of the tomb guard is not complicated to speak of. In addition to cleaning up the skeleton wanderers who crawl out of the cemetery every dawn, it is also necessary to ensure that no beasts cross the fence to dig through the tomb and gnaw the bodies of the new tombs.

When someone in the town passed away and chose this cemetery for burial.

Sol also used some inferior linen shrouds to wrap the pale corpses with no expressions in airtight according to the family's request.

The family members believe that only by wrapping and burying in this way can the deceased be truly isolated and peaceful. In Saul's view, this vague sense of ritual had no effect except to make the corpse decompose faster.

Sol is not at all uncomfortable with dealing with corpses. Although he has lived to be only fourteen years old, he has seen too many corpses in contact with him. He has also participated in the burial of corpses many times in the monastery.

A freak like him who doesn't believe in ghosts, destiny, or **** in the past lives. Those are just sweet illusions created by the fragile side of human nature when faced with the great fear of death.

Human beings often weave some legends of resurrection from the dead, because we need such stories to inspire the world to walk on the road of rationality and to arouse the bravery of the world in the face of death.

For Sol, these are all understandable, but useless.

In Saul's view, life is just a series of random processes.

Just like when you were still conceived in the mother's body, it may be that you may not be you who came to this world, but the probability just fell on your head.

Strictly speaking, there is no luck or misfortune in this world, it's just a chance encounter.

Speaking of fear, Thor has only the fear of death itself. As for the place where the bones were buried, he didn't care, if one day he was going to die, whether it was a desert or a wilderness, a hill or a river, it would be fine to fall on the spot.

Because he didn't believe in anything, Sole only lived in front of him, and he was enough to live his life.

In his eyes, death is the annihilation of matter and the end of everything.

To be more emotional, Saul felt that when he was alive, the world existed, and when he died, the world actually died, that's all.

A few days after Saul became the tombkeeper, Shuggs, who received the news, hurried over.

Then they dug up some old or long-forgotten tombs overnight, took off the rings or necklaces from the bones that had long been rotten, and swept away other valuable funerary objects. The harvest was not bad.

The two never thought that something like the robbery of the tomb should be combined with some morality, that is something God cares about. A dead person should look like a dead person. Since he has died, he should use his property to help more people.

However, tomb robbers are also very dependent on luck. After all, they will choose to be buried in the cemetery. They are all poor people who usually don't look up and see their heads down. Really good tombs need to be found in the depths of the wilderness, and those tombs that have been hundreds of thousands of years old will have more spacious tombs and more private goods.

With the age of those tombs and the different social status of the deceased, the construction specifications of the tombs will also be different. Some have a simple layout, while others have secret channels for organs, which are full of dangers.

In this regard, Hugues's thieves skills are indeed superb, if only in terms of unlocking and removing traps, he can also be firmly ranked in the thieves' guild.

For a thief whose income is not stable, a successful tomb robbery can temporarily make him live a prosperous life. This kind of little game for nothing is very addictive to Hugues.

From then on, from time to time Shuggs always notified Sol in time that a wealthy man in the town who was unkind had finally died in an unfavorable manner and would be buried soon. Next, the two would dig up the grave on a quiet night and call the dead to discuss life.

Later, Shuggs even suggested that Thor go back to the monastery together and plan out all the backyard cemeteries, but Saul had no interest in this.

Tomb Raiders is a small game that can be played occasionally. It is meaningless to be too addicted or as a profession.
