Whispering Poems

Chapter 1628 Old Lighthouse Tomb
The lighthouse has long been abandoned along with the island, and there are woods around the lighthouse. The tomb of the wife of Sloth Edwards is 200 meters south of the lighthouse.The tombstone stands in the white mist, and the forest is quiet.In this kind of fog, if the location is not known in advance, it is difficult to find here directly.

Although it is far away from all her relatives, as a cemetery, at least the environment is not bad.

"I don't want to hear your bad jokes about the environment. I know what I'm doing is digging up the graves of my ancestors."

The pharmacist looked at the ancient tombstone, and said to Xia De first:

"Now you can start. I don't want to explain why I didn't dig it. Although it is necessary to desecrate the ancestor's corpse,"

"Okay, okay, let me do it. If you go on, I will really become that kind of inconsiderate cold-blooded animal."

He dug into his pocket, then took out the shovel and plunged it into the ground.After rubbing her hands together, she took off her coat and threw it to the sorceress for safekeeping:

"Help me get it."

The latter didn't expect Xia De to be so reassuring about her, so he caught Xia De's clothes unexpectedly, put it on his arm and watched Xia De dig the grave.

The sound of the shovel making contact with the soil sounded again and again, and the brown-haired lady suddenly remembered the somewhat familiar scent she smelled on Shad when she was at the Green Lake Hotel.So he looked at Xia De's back in the fog to ensure that he would not turn his head suddenly, and the fog would indeed interfere with the perception of "another me", then he took a small step back, then raised his arms a little, smelling He flicked his coat.

"Megan, my dear sister, I really didn't expect you to do such a thing."

The voice next to my ear said suddenly, and the pharmacist lady responded in her heart:
"Audrey, shut your mouth. Let the other me recall what this smell is."

So the voice that was exactly the same as the two gave the answer softly:

[Megan, Audrey, this smell is diluted by the moisture of the water and the breath of the mist, and it is already indistinguishable.The following are three scents with high similarity: the newly launched Golden Lily III perfume (light fragrance type) this spring, the "smell of the witch" configured by Galina Cavendish, and the cold fragrance type launched last winter Mademoiselle Jasmine oriental floral fragrance. 】

"There is no reference value."

Miss Pharmacist said in her heart, and carefully took Shade's coat away from her nose, while the soft voice in her ear continued:
[In addition to the familiar perfume smell, this coat also has John Watson's own smell.It's not soap locust, perfume or deodorant, but it smells really good. 】

The face of the sorceress turned red immediately, which was not very obvious in the damp and cold fog:

"What nonsense?"

"Megan, do I need to remind you? The other me is actually us, and there is no point in arguing with her."

Another voice said helplessly.

"Shut up, Audrey, I don't want to quarrel with myself. And since the other me is us, that means, as a great witch, you also think this man's coat smells good?"

"It's hard to say whether he is a man or not."

The witch was humming, and the intense discussion in Miss Pharmacist's mind, of course, would not make a specific sound.At this time, the sound in the fog was still the monotonous sound of Xia De shoveling the soil.

Of course, he's not really just shoveling dirt:
【She sniffed your clothes just now. 】

"I guessed it, but pretend I don't know."

Xia De said in his heart.

[Not to expose her? 】

"And then fight with the angry woman? Or look at her embarrassed and don't know how to explain? Just pretend that you don't know, it's the best."

"She" smiled softly, "she" never questioned Xia De's decision.

With a bang, the shovel finally touched something other than dirt and stones.Xia De dropped the shovel and bent down, and after pushing away the soil layer, the black metal coffin with golden lines on the surface was revealed.

"Your ancestors liked to use metal coffins? Is this a local custom?"

Xia De turned back curiously and asked Miss Pharmacist, the lady with short brown hair approached a few steps, also looking puzzled:
"I don't know either. This is also the first time I have dug up my ancestor's grave. This topic is very strange. Let's end it quickly."

So she raised her hands together with Xia De to cast a spell. After the soil attached to the surface of the coffin jumped a few times, the entire coffin broke through the soil layer and was dragged by the spell to fly out of the tomb.Shade's basic spell "Moving Object" is not so strong, mainly because Miss Pharmacist played a role.

It was indeed an all-metal coffin, and the surface of the coffin was densely patterned like roots, making this metal coffin quite artistic.Of course, Xia De knew that it was immoral and incorrect to comment on the artistic sense of other people's ancestors' coffins, so he didn't say it out loud.

"How do I open this?"

After the coffin was laid flat in the fog, Xia De tried to push and pull along the side gap, but he couldn't open it no matter what.So Miss Pharmacist told Xia De to take a few steps back. She walked to the side of the coffin, closed her eyes and put her hands on the cold metal.

After a moment she opened her eyes:
"The interior is similar to the structure of a switch box."

"You're not going to tell me that the pattern on the coffin lid is a movable puzzle, are you?"

"Do you think this is the puzzle-solving process of a horror novel? It's not that complicated."

She told Shad to stand and stay away while she tapped around the coffin.This female sorceress seems to have the ability to obtain the internal structure of objects by touching them, which should be some kind of perception-enhancing secret technique.

"found it."

Soon, she found two imperceptible hidden compartments at both ends of the coffin. Opening the hidden compartments is a handle that can be used to grab.

Because there are front and rear ends, Xia De and Miss Pharmacist grabbed one of them respectively.The coffin lid that Xia De couldn't open no matter how hard he tried just now, the two of them just used a little force together, and it was actually lifted up.

The white shroud in the coffin is still white, and lying on the shroud is a rotting mummy.There are many funerary objects next to the mummy, besides gold and silver jewelry, there are also strange things such as dried flower petals.

The pharmacist lady looked at her ancestor with a complicated expression, and after apologizing softly, she took the tooth by herself.She prepared gloves and metal tools, but when she really touched the corpse, accompanied by the feeling of spinning, the white mist around her became more and more dense.

"Lost sense of direction again."

Xia De covered his head and said softly, but neither he nor the sorceress was surprised. When they landed on the island, they thought of various possibilities.

"So, this time, did you lose your sense of direction because you came into contact with the corpses of the Edwards family? Or did you lose your sense of direction because you, as a descendant of Edwards, came into contact with the corpses of the ancestors of the family?"

Xia De asked the brown-haired sorceress who also recovered from the dizziness, and the latter judged:

"The high probability is due to contact with the dead body."

She looked down at the corpse in the coffin, while Xia De looked at the sky above the coffin.The soul of a silver-haired old woman with a kind expression that is very similar to the clothes of a carrion corpse.The soul was floating quietly in the air, similar to the blacksmith's soul I saw last time, the upper body was normal, and the lower body was cloudy.

The pharmacist silently pulled out a burnt yellow tooth from the corpse, put it in the test tube, and then signaled Xia De to touch the soul.

She invited Xia De to go to the island again, originally to deal with this strange soul.

"Guide to death."

In an instant, the vision in front of him turned completely white, and in the center of this empty soul memory, what Xia De saw was a man who couldn't see clearly.

"What does it mean?"

He told Miss Pharmacist what he saw in his soul, and the latter pondered for a while and asked the old lady's soul:

"Could you speak to us, your husband, Sloss Edwards?"

After waiting for a while, there was no response, so Xia De also asked:
"Could you speak to us, your husband's father, Cline Edwards?"

Soul with a friendly expression smiled and nodded, as if he had been talking to Xia De all the time:

"Of course, but I can only talk about that great gentleman with the descendants of the family, and that descendant must have enough strength."

This is the condition to be able to get the answer.

"What kind of power?"

Shad asked again.

"At least the High Ring."

So he looked at Miss Pharmacist, who was one meter away on the left, who repeated Xia De's question just now, and the old lady looked at her kindly again:

"My great-granddaughters, welcome back to the family territory."

Xia De narrowed his eyes, and Soul used plural descriptions for Miss Pharmacist.The "great-granddaughter" of the wife of the second-generation Sloss Edwards corresponds to the fifth generation of the root family tree.

If he remembered correctly, among the descendants of the fifth generation, only the two descendants of Alphonse Edwards, the third son who was suspected of being adopted, had no offspring.Therefore, it was only now that Xia De finally determined the position of the Great Witch Audrey Edwards in the family tree.

Miss Pharmacist also knew that Xia De must have heard some clues, but she had promised to go to the island this time and would tell Xia De something he didn't know, so she just sighed at this time:
"Hello, great-grandmother, I didn't expect to see you like this. What can you tell me?"

"Concerning our family origins, Mr. Cline Edwards. You can ask me a question about him, but you only have one chance, and there are some questions I don't know."

The floating old woman looked at her descendants kindly.

The pharmacist looked at Xia De instinctively, wanting to hear his opinion, and then realized that she actually asked a man for help, which was something she had never done before.Probably Xia De's erudition when he landed on the island last time left a deep impression on her.
