13 Mink Street

Richard turned his head to look at Mr. Eisen who was sitting next to him, and asked, "What does it mean that Bernard is still alive?"

Mr. Eisen replied: "According to Wien law, we originally only committed the crime of stealing and insulting a corpse."

"what about now?"

"Now that Bernard is still alive, it means we are innocent."

Richard looked at Mr. Eisen seriously, blinked, and said with emotion:

"Damn, what you said makes sense!"

Karen beckoned to the two people behind him, and they immediately came over.

Richard couldn't help but reached out and patted Bernard's face, saying, "Is this really alive?"

"Well, I'm sure I'm still alive."

"So how on earth did he do it?" Richard asked.

Mr. Eisen said, "Would it be the same as that giant tortoise? It's a way of long sleep and suspended animation."

Dorons was already dying back then, and Phileas sealed it to help it sleep forever, so that it could have a chance to see the crystallization of everyone's painstaking efforts a hundred years later.

Karen nodded, and said: "It's very possible, because in the records of Bernard on Dark Moon Island, the cause of Bernard's death has always been vague."

Before Bernard's death, there was no coup d'etat, no turmoil, no serious injuries, and no other diseases that plagued him all the time. Therefore, he did not have a specific cause of death.

The official statement from Darkmoon Island is that he died of overwork for Darkmoon Island in his study, and there is a blueprint spread out on the desk, which means that the great ancestor Bernard was still sketching when he died. It is the grand blueprint for the future of Darkmoon Island.

Karen does not believe this statement.

Not to mention Bernard's personal morality, in terms of work, he is not a person who devotes himself wholeheartedly to Darkmoon Island. How could such a person create so many "spectacles" on Darkmoon Island? Such a rich love story?

Looking at Bernard's half-white and half-black hair and skin, at first Karen took it for granted that Bernard's careful maintenance of the body after death had kept the body in good condition, allowing the body to be well preserved.

Now it seems that he is ready to "die".

The real purpose of building the Palace of Remembrance may not be to express his love for Miss Pall, or, more than that, he may want a form that allows his coffin to be parked on the ground.

Why did he go to such trouble?

Because he doesn't trust anyone, no matter how loyal that person is to him, he can't trust him.

After his "death", can loyalty continue?

Will this person's heir continue to be loyal to him?

Even if it is his own child, the next patriarch appointed by him, he can't trust him, because he is too aware of the distortion and loss under the power struggle.

The fact that the Dark Moon Clan still retains the "Cursed Insects" that only target themselves is the best proof.

He didn't sleep for a few days, nor did he sleep for a few years. Based on the current span, he has been in a deep sleep for a hundred years.

He succeeded, because his body has been placed in the Palace of Remembrance, regardless of the power struggles of future generations, he is in a detached position, because he is already a totem, a political correctness belonging to Darkmoon Island.

Is this way of arranging the corpse just for convenience when I come out after waking up?

The layout of the Palace of Missing immediately appeared in Karen's mind. Because of the towering Pu'er statue and the need to lure magma in, the main hall of the Palace of Missing has no roof.

Does it need to be nourished by the dark moon to absorb the power of the dark moon? Or is the magma introduced into the Palace of Missing also part of what he needs?

Karen felt that there should be a reason for this, but now he is not interested in investigating this, because he only needs to know that Bernard in front of him is still alive.

This is excellent news for me, "waking up" in the usual sense, even if Bernard is allowed to sit up again with his eyes open, the punishment and revenge done to him will not be able to truly enjoy himself.

Well now, since Bernard is not dead, all he needs to do is wake him up, then the one in front of him is the real Bernard, and his punishment and revenge will also fall on the real person.

The most important thing is that after killing him, he can wake up and kill him again.

It's not double the fun, it's ten times the fun.

But now the question is, how to wake him up?

It would be understandable if he didn't wake up when I carried him out of the coffin. The external perception of the deep sleep state of suspended animation must be minimal, but Mr. Eisen used needles and threads to arrange so many formations on him before. Waking him up means that the depth of his suspended animation is truly terrifying.

"Are you trying to wake him up?" Mr. Eisen asked.

"Well, do you have a solution?"

"I don't."

Richard pushed Mr. Eisen and said, "Then what did you ask just now, did you fart?"

Mr. Eisen responded, "Yes."

Karen said: "We don't have a lot of time. Darkmoon Island will soon find out that their beloved ancestor is gone, and we can't stay out of the team for too long."

Mr. Eisen said, "The way the giant tortoise wakes up."

Karen sighed and said, "But it's too late to find his conch now."

Richard asked suspiciously, "What conch?"

Mr. Eisen said: "When I arranged the formation on him just now, I had a strange feeling that there seemed to be a consciousness in his body that was weakly resisting me. I didn't say it before, it was Because I think this is normal, because there is a lot of spiritual power left in this corpse, and it is normal for the spiritual power left in the body to have a little repulsion to my arrangement of formations, just like in Like a new engraving on a sacristy.

I don't know if this detail is of any use to you..."

"In this case..."

Suddenly, Karen seemed to think of something, he stretched out his hand, pressed his forehead, and looked at Bernard again.

He recalled Ophelia's reaction after drinking the cursed worm last time. When Ophelia purified herself from the dark moon, the cursed worm in her body would immediately fight back, and the degree of pollution would become even higher.

Phileas said that the cursed worms were bred step by step by himself using the fleas on Dorons. The purpose of the earliest breeding was not to be cursed worms at all, but to support a fist industry in Darkmoon Island. new product.

The reason why the worm turned into a cursed worm was because of the curse cast by Philias in anger after escaping from Snake Island.

The Dark Moon Clan still holds the Cursed Insect. Apart from using it for internal fighting, is there any other purpose?

If it only has a curse effect on the blood of the Dark Moon family, does that mean that the bug itself has other values?

Bernard's sleeping method is very similar to that of Dorons...

The original purpose of cultivating that worm was for what, industry, industry...

Phileas and his group of believers are kind, they will not make any harmful things to sell.

So, is it a kind of bug that can put dying people into a deep sleep? Only in this way can it be called an industry, and it will be needed by many people in the world.

Bernard,

Swallow that bug!

It's not a cursed worm, it's the kind of worm that was successfully bred at the beginning. This was originally the flagship product that Phileas and the others helped Dark Moon Island cultivate.

The Dark Moon Clan knew its value, so they didn't exterminate this bug, and they still keep it on hand.

This bug is harmless to other people, no, not only is it harmless, it may still be useful. With other auxiliary methods and the effect of that bug, it can make people enter eternal sleep; but the Dark Moon Clan can't To do this industry, once the bug is continued to be cultivated and sold, it is tantamount to selling the rope that can hang oneself.

The forces that are hostile to Darkmoon Island only need to spend some coupons to buy this kind of bug from Darkmoon Island, and then import it into Darkmoon Island, which will be a disaster for the Darkmoon Clan.

Karen felt that his guess should be correct.

Felias is truly a genius.

He has a charismatic personality, he has a group of staunch supporters, he is gentle and kind, alas... such a person, no, such a group of people, but because of Bernard, he fell into that fate.

It's a pity that he could really become a legend.

In Karen's mind, Felias was almost a replica of himself more than a hundred years ago. Once this sense of substitution entered, the hatred for Bernard instantly rose to another level.

Ah……

It's also fortunate that I only learned about Felias' affairs with hindsight. If I knew about it in advance, I would probably take the initiative to lead the captain to do things, and display a higher subjective initiative than the captain.

However, now that the specific problem has been discovered, the solution to the problem has come.

Karen raised his palm. The wound where he fed Ophelia's blood last time has been healed by magic and now there is only a shallow scar.

"Memphis, Richard, I'm going to do something to wake him up next. It involves a secret of mine. It's not convenient for you to see it. You two should avoid it first."

Richard laughed and said, "Haha, you actually said it so openly."

"OK."

Mr. Eisen put a ball of silk thread in front of Karen. It was a silk thread that controlled a series of formations. If you want to activate whichever one, just pull and break that thread. Karen watched him arrange the formation. Mr. Eisen believed that Cullen knew which wire corresponded to which and could not make a mistake. After putting down the things, he turned and walked out.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Richard followed Mr. Eisen to the outside of the cave. He asked Mr. Eisen curiously, "Hey, what secret do you think Karen is going to use?"

"There are many secrets about him."

"Of course I know that."

"It will be good for you to take care of your relationship with him in the future."

"Although your condescending attitude towards me makes me feel a little uncomfortable, but my heart is still quite warm."

"hehe."

Richard reached out and touched the back of Mr. Eisen's head, and said, "Then you have to be good, and take care of your relationship with my good brother Karen, remember?"

Mr. Eisen: "Okay, I remember."

"Ah~" Richard yawned, "I thought that going to the stage play in the evening was already exciting enough, but I didn't expect the experience in the middle of the night to be even more unforgettable. I still feel a little unreal until now. We They even stole the corpse of their ancestors."

"Sometimes, you don't need to know why you're doing something, you just need to do what you're told to do."

"Of course I know that. I don't need you to teach me. I'm willing to listen to what Karen has to say." Richard put his arm around Mr. Eisen's shoulder and shook it vigorously. I am qualified to be independent and lead a team of Whip of Order. From now on, we two brothers will be in the team, and we will hang out with Karen together."

"OK."

"Karen is the eldest brother, I came first, then I will be your second brother, okay? Let's not talk about age, that's too vulgar."

"OK."

"Call for brother to come and listen."

"Don't shout."

"Hehe, look at you like this, you really want to save face, okay, okay, I know you are capable, I was just joking just now, how about it, you are my second brother, how about I call you brother?"

"Don't shout."

"Shy?"

"no."

"Brother! Did you hear that!"

Mr. Eisen nodded, turned his head and glanced at Richard,

road:

"Yeah, I heard that."

Inside the cave.

Karen swiped his palm across the sword of Achilles, cut a hole, and blood began to flow.

Immediately, Karen grabbed Bernard's cheek with the other hand and pinched him hard, making his mouth pout.

Blood flowed down the protruding mouth.

After a while, Karen withdrew her hand.

Next, it depends on Bernard's reaction.

The reaction came very quickly. Before Karen had time to apply a simple healing spell to the wound on his palm, a white worm crawled out of Bernard's mouth. Karen remembered the last time Ophelia swallowed it by mistake. The cursed worm is black, and this white worm is much bigger than the black one, like a silkworm baby.

This should be an alternative symbiotic relationship, which is different from the symbiotic relationship between myself and Pu'er, they are only symbiotic on a physical level.

This worm needs a nest, and the person who swallows it is equivalent to lending its body to live in an apartment. The worm lives here, and needs to undertake the cleaning and maintenance work to pay the rent.

After the white worm crawled out, its body twitched for a while, and for a moment, Karen realized that it was focusing on himself.

It flew up, leaving the body, and seemed eager to find a new place to live.

Its gaze is also Karen's bloody palm.

Karen didn't stop it, and let it fly into his palm.

However, the white worm did not crawl into the wound like the black worm last time. Instead, it lay on Karen's palm and spit out strands of white silk to cover Karen's wound.

Immediate itching at the wound is a sign that it is healing.

Immediately afterwards, the white worm flew back to the side of the coffin and lay down on its stomach, looking a little sluggish.

Looking at the "bandaged" wound, a smile appeared on the corner of Karen's mouth. Is this the nature of the cursed bug?

When it sees a wound on its own body, it can't stand it anymore. It's like seeing a neighbor's door broken, and going up to repair it on its own initiative. It has no other purpose, it is purely because of its own obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Karen reached out to hold it up and put it in front of him.

The bug has two eyes on its head, and it seems to be watching Karen.

Karen nodded lightly on its head with her index finger.

The white worm fell down and squirmed a few times in Karen's palm, as if asking for Karen's opinion, asking if he could enter Karen's body.

But if you enter my body, you will die suddenly.

"Richard!"

Called Karen towards the hole.

"I'm coming!"

Richard trotted in immediately. He originally thought that Karen had woken Bernard up. After he came in, he checked the situation inside the coffin first. Seeing that Bernard was still lying there, he couldn't help being a little puzzled. He didn't wake up.

"Spread your hands."

"Um?"

Richard opened his hand and saw Karen place a white worm in his palm.

"This is?"

"Good thing, take it out and ask you...Ask Memphis and ask him to confirm again. If there are no other questions, I suggest you swallow it. Remember, don't chew it."

"Hey, that's pretty cute, where did it come from?" Richard asked.

"Miss Ophelia gave it to me. I was sleeping, but now I'm awake. If this bug is in your body, your injuries will recover much faster."

"Really, you just gave me what Miss Ophelia gave you?"

"We are good brothers."

"Yeah, yes."

"Remember, let Memphis check it first to see if your physique is suitable for swallowing it. In addition, let him see if there are any other precautions."

"Okay, okay, I see, what else can I do?"

"No, you go out, next, don't come in without my call."

"Well, I see."

Richard went out with the worm in his hands.

"Richard."

"Huh? What else is there?"

"Before swallowing, remember to wash it, so it's cleaner."

"I think this little thing is quite clean."

"We must pay attention to hygiene."

"knew."

Karen believed that the white worm was harmless, not only because the white worm seemed very polite after bandaging its own wound, but also because he believed that Mr. Phileas would not intentionally breed something harmful to people.

This can be regarded as, let's look at the insects by their character.

In addition, this worm has been symbiotic in Bernard's body for a hundred years, and it has obviously grown and matured a lot. It is indeed an excellent thing, but it is a pity that I can't use it, and I am worried about it when I bring it home to Alfred and the others. What kind of accidents will happen to the bugs if they leave the human body for too long?

Therefore, it is most appropriate to give Richard a favor, which is equivalent to giving Mr. Eisen a favor, and one gift makes two favors, which is very cost-effective.

After watching Richard walk out of the cave,

Karen turned around,

He reached out and knocked on the side of the coffin,

road:

"Do you want to continue pretending to sleep?"

Bernard,

Open your eyes!
