Holy Spirit Plain, east.
Lightly the rain has gotten down for night, on the wilderness everywhere is the land of every large or small product water hole and slippery mud, white Jingcao of tenacious growth falls down in the rainwater washout last ten days of the dog-day period, walks above, must carefully be especially good.
Drags corpse person Taka to drive away large cart to march forward on the wilderness cautiously, he must select these not to have the water with single-hearted devotion, quite solid place advance, to prevent the wheel of large cart to fall into to the mire, is far away from the place of camp in such, once the wheel falls into to the mire in can be a very troublesome matter.
Cold wind blows, this beard stretch out robust man could not bear hit to tremble, he lifted to turn yellow , and eye of pollution, looks at the sky that the distant place hung down, could not bear mutter one: „Blood God on is really damn weather.”
The Anling festival night rains is not the good sign, regarding the superstitious dragging corpse person is so.
Looking from the angle of occult sciences, will affect seriously the bonfire in the rainwater of night of soul meeting again the effect, even keeps some small bonfires from burning smoothly, the ancestor soul of wrong path flame formation will pace back and forth in the curtain of water vapor and, plain residents and mountain people fearful legend of many about evil spirit mostly will originate in this.
But the rainwater of Anling festival in view of actual often means that the weather rapid revolutions will be cold, in the winter future earlier, is swifter more and violent.
Which regardless, regarding average person is not the good deed.
The large cart as if the crush on the road to the stone, the entire vehicle suddenly fiercely rocked, Taka hurries to control the reins to maintain balanced, in the neighing sounds of several pack horses, the vehicle stabilizes, this strong dragging corpse person hurried to turn head to look at one on his behind template, several „cargo” fixes with human form that the linen wrapped there fortunately well, sign that the rope has not loosened.
„You may probably treat well,” Taka muttered, „at next year Anling festival, some people will light the bonfire to you.”
The corpse will certainly not respond drags the words of corpse person, dragging corpse person but who is strange like each evade, Taka also has oneself odd, he is familiar with and oneself shipping „cargo” conversation, disguises these is can understand own words „passenger”, he thinks that oneself needs and „passenger” hits to relate, only then maintains to relate, can avoid these „passenger” the future looking for own trouble.
Especially these „passenger” died in the battlefield, is in the rumor the remains of soldier is easy to turn into the evil spirit, that could not be more careless.
The front road surface is very slippery, moreover accumulates the water hole to be hard to bypass, drags the corpse person is controlling the vehicle cautiously, while cursed one in a low voice: „This damn civil war...... Also does not know when must project on. Did you say?”
Although the mouth such was cursing, but Taka was very clear, if were not this civil war, his „business” was impossible to be so good.
The war will make many corpses, soldier, common people, even occasionally also will have the knight with mages natural, the latter was noble dying in battle, was not one's turn the dragging corpse person in Taka this floor to contact, but the former is different, these die in the battlefield and person in battlefield edge become source of income that towed the corpse people main. The person in commander as well as the village of warring parties will hire the specialized dragging corpse person to handle these to restrain without enough time, the corpse that or cannot find out the status, dragging the corpse person not to need to bury them earnestly, but only needs to ship it to the formulation big hole, avoids polluting the water source or the production evil spirit then the line.
This is one humble, but the income not poor work, drags the corpse person usually is the generation is engaged in it, but makes this type to frequently the matter that the deceased person deals with, dragging the corpse people naturally to form own one set of custom and taboo, for example cannot insult the dead absolutely, cannot absolutely, when the restraining remains read aloud the Death God given name( this are to prevent to enter the dead in other gods states to stare by Death God), as well as must the two day that ended in the Anling festival deliver to the destination the corpse.
Because of such custom, Taka has to hurry along this muddy slippery plain, to prevent own „passenger”, because has missed Anling after the holiday „returned to the date of returning”, but violent anger.
When Giant Sun flies high gradually, Taka arrived finally.
Here is far away from battle frontline place, is far away from the any camp of Eastern Region person or king, it is a natural big hole, moreover now became stinks to high heaven.
Towed the corpse person to put on the heavy/thick scarf and hood, entangled both hands with the cloth strip, he jumped down from the large cart flexible, was looking into the place of this bareness habitation.
Was honest, here was not a very appropriate cemetery, it did not conform to the death Gods doctrine, did not meet the requirement of Blood God, but here was the place that the trustee assigned, why therefore as dragging Taka of corpse person will not go into seriously must throw the corpse in this big hole.
Around the big hole can see some fallen distributed woodcarving and metal frame, these are the priests to comfort the soul the simple altar of establishment, is very rough gadget, but is used to cope with the most preliminary evil spirit to be very sufficient. Taka moved toward next to the woodcarving of big hole edge, then defers to drag the custom of corpse person has fished out one from the bosom wrinkled the dead chrysanthemum, places it in the woodcarving root.
The white little flower calmly lies down in a mud, the flower petal is vibrating in the cold wind slightly, this type has the surprising vitality in the little flower that under the moist and gloomy environment finds at everywhere, it almost can grow and be in full bloom throughout the year, even if after being taken off, can the tenacious survival several days, the Ainz person believe, this inconceivable vitality is they can communicate the living and evidence of dead state . Moreover the Ainz person also believes another matter: Each dead chrysanthemum simultaneously grows in the state of living and dead, it in the world instance on the wane, it in the time that Hades is in full bloom, but the soul of dead then in dead chrysanthemum on the wane with being in full bloom arrives in „other shore” through this secret relation instantaneously smoothly, and steps in the other shore goes to each God's Kingdom path......
„Little flower, wishing you to direct the people of these wrong paths to find their homes to return to......” to tow the corpse person to say in a low voice, is drawing the mark of Blood God in the chest front, „...... Really pressed you, a flower must receive and instruct these many people......”
Spoke these words, Taka has then turned around, prepares on the large cart to transport the corpse.
However before taking a step, his line of sight noted the other same thing of not far away suddenly.
That is ash fire of one pile of bonfires, moreover is very small pile of bonfires.
Drags the corpse person to be somewhat curious, he takes a step to arrive by that bonfire ash fire, in the nostril smelled the mist and dust taste slightly.
This bonfire in some time ago was put out unexpectedly.
„Do some people mourn deceased person here?” Taka was muttering, transferred around that small bonfire, „was difficult to be inadequate to bury in the pit the relative of some lucky fellow to take away the corpse randomly......”
Drags the words of corpse person to tell only half, suddenly stopped.
Last night rain was not small, moreover heard under big hole here especially big.
In the continuous rain, such small bonfire is burns very much difficultly smoothly, even if used to be able in the bark of black mark tree in the rain burnt, it should not burn was so thorough.
Around the bonfire moist trace could not see, had not dried out by the fire of high-piled firewood, but seems does not have the rainwater to fall in this surrounding area several meters ground from the start.
In air besides mist and dust taste, but can also smell a strange clear sweet taste, that probably is some flower fragrance, but is actually not the smell of dead chrysanthemum.
Taka has been the dragging corpse person of half a lifetime, can present the spice that to know from A to Z regarding the Anling festival, but he from not hearing similar flavor......
Although cannot say specifically what's the matter, but this drags the corpse person instinct to feel that a strangeness, this strange feeling has made him restless, and reminds him indistinctly of recently among these rumors that dragging the corpse people spread......
It is said that has the food corpse ghost to appear and disappear in curtain of night...... Has to swallow the flesh the monster to move in the dark land...... Buries the corpse in pit as if bewilderedly to reduce randomly...... The remains that buries without enough time vanish frequently with no reason at all......
In the late autumn cold wind, dragging the corpse person to tremble, he feels some malicious the thing in the activity, although he cannot see it, but that thing as if saw itself.
He is not Extraordinary, but he has hit the dragging corpse person of half a lifetime social dealings with the dead, was quite reverent Blood God believer, he knows intuition that some own average men did not have, but this intuition truly made him evade the attacks of several evil spirits in the past life.
He starts to retreat cautiously backward, the movement is as far as possible leisurely, nature, startled that try not to display.
However a sound of xi xi su su spread to his ear suddenly, along with the sound of that xi xi su su, he saw below buries in the pit to have some sod and soil blocks randomly is trembling, but several hemp cloth wrapper human form that is three days ago he throws is wriggling strangely.
Towed the corpse person to stare in a big way eye, he clearly saw that several like were the vine thing grows suddenly from the soil, pricked these corpses, afterward the land such as the water fluctuated generally, has pouched the dark deep place these corpses......
Huge panic-stricken raids, he cannot control finally calls out in alarm makes noise, after calls out in alarm, he has no more to do with then to run.
But that filled the strange fragrant aura in air to well up once again, moreover was more obvious than before, in this sudden fragrant aura, towed corpse person Taka's spiritual absent-minded, afterward then fell into a long and profound dreamland.
The thing of vine shape spreads from the soil and leave of grass, entangled to tow the four limbs of corpse person, in one low and deep rumble the sound and in the xi xi su su sound, the soil like the water fluctuation, drew in the bottom him little.
Late autumn the cold wind has blown plain, has blown being desolate and uninhabited buries the pit randomly, here peace, as if anything has not occurred.
A moment later, sudden strong winds blew the plain towering, the strong winds have curled up do not know fallen leaf that from where came, in the fallen leaf fluttered about, wore the woman of green Priest long gown appears figure.
Belterra knits the brows, looks that drags corpse person by the position that earth swallows, sighed slightly: „Bad luck fellow......”
„Your that pile mourned the bonfire of dead to bring to his attention,” a fuzzy low and deep sound conveyed from the earth deep place, the middle along with the shuttle sound of xi xi su su, „I was very curious, who was, was worth a dean igniting the bonfire at the Anling festival unexpectedly...... You with these average people same also believe that what ghost returns?”
„Dean Heaton, why do not forget you are comes to here to collect the biological qualitative to complete the duty-bound matter by the penalty to be good.”
„Ha...... You perhaps were in this world the most senseless woman......”
Underground has heard the ambiguous fuzzy muttering sound, afterward this sound sinks gradually, the shuttle sound of xi xi su su also gradually weakened the person who made the sound as if to return in -depth soil.
Belterra calmly same place has been standing a meeting, seems thinking deeply about anything, after standing still for several minutes, she starting to walk footsteps under the Priest long skirt, „leg that” comprised of the innumerable root hair and vines are wriggling, before bonfire that she brought that pile extinguish.
Being in full bloom dead chrysanthemum falls in the ash fire of bonfire.
„ I, no matter in your body is anything...... This plan was you cannot obstruct.
„Human will certainly last forever, even though disobedient gods.”
