You call this a black hand?

"What exactly is in the sarcophagus?"

"Who knew, the mayor wouldn't let us people see it."

"Everyone fished out the things together. Why can those people see it but we can't?"

"I guess there is a pile of gold inside. When I opened it and looked at it just now, I seemed to see golden light."

"Then the mayor wants to keep it all to himself?"

"It's not about swallowing it alone, it's about swallowing it together with those people."

"..."

Most of the people talking in the square were dressed as gray fishermen and sailors, and a few were dressed a little more delicately. However, the pirate scimitar commonly hung on the waist proved that this is actually a place with simple folk customs.

Mellen's appearance attracted curious looks from some people, but not much.

Because this group of people gathered together clearly had something more important to talk about at the moment, and it was no secret.

It didn't take long for Mellen to slowly walk through the crowd before he understood what was going on.

This morning, a sarcophagus was washed to the coast by the tide, and this group of people worked together to carry it back. However, after it was brought back, it was "occupied" by a group of people headed by the mayor without even being allowed to look at it.

.

Everyone is very dissatisfied with this.

"Is this a reversal of time, back to the point where the sarcophagus first appeared?"

Mellen was very surprised by this and didn't know why there was such a change - could it be due to the last time he saw the two female savages?

This seems to be the only possibility, after all, there is no mechanism involved.

Before this, he had been here many times, and nothing special happened.

boom--!

Walking through the depths of the square, when he arrived in front of the municipal building, which was crudely shaped and clearly had the style of the Northern Empire, Mellen saw a guard in military uniform carrying a gun and fired a shot into the air, and then shouted for silence.

As a result, not only did the group of people in the square not remain silent, but the noise became even more intense. Some of the fierce ones even ran to the guards and started yelling.

The reason is nothing more than wanting to "get a piece of the pie" and shouting that the mayor cannot eat alone.

The military uniformed guards pointed their guns at the surrogates and began to threaten them, cursing and cursing, but they did not dare to actually fire.

As a result, the noise in this place became louder and louder, like being in a vegetable market.

All in all, it is very lifelike, without any trace of falsehood. The scorching energy that should have occupied the world has now disappeared without a trace.

Meren watched the quarrel among these people for a while, then felt that there would be no other changes in a short period of time, so he used the Wandering God's Boots and quietly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Then he passed by the military uniformed guards and walked toward the city hall.

The hall is also not quiet at the moment. Some relatively well-dressed gentlemen and ladies are gathering here, talking in low voices while looking at the rough sarcophagus placed in the center, with ropes tied tightly from both sides of the sarcophagus.

Judging from the logs, this thing was obviously moved just recently.

"What a beautiful female corpse."

"She seems to be a queen?"

"I've never heard of a queen being buried near here. And this sarcophagus is too crude."

"Maybe the one from the Northern Empire?"

"How is that possible? That person doesn't have silver hair..."

The clothing and temperament of these wealthy people are incompatible with the pirates dressed as fishermen outside, and they are obviously outsiders.

And the words they talked about clearly contained some thought-provoking details.

However, Mellen's attention was not focused on this aspect at this time.

Because after arriving here, what he saw in his field of vision, besides the group of people gathered around the rough sarcophagus, was a skeleton.

A skeleton with a warm and jade-like color, a tall and "thin" figure.

The skeleton is decorated with gold ornaments all over its body, and the golden crown on its head is crookedly buckled on its bare forehead, which looks a bit funny.

Now it is leaning against the sarcophagus, looking down at the corpse in the coffin, its mouth opening and closing, seemingly full of surprise, and even a little bit frightened.

But the strange thing is that next to it, there were several elegantly dressed nobles watching it together, but they turned a blind eye to the skeleton next to it, as if they had not seen it.

"I have never seen such a beautiful lady."

One of the relatively young nobles rubbed his chin and said in an exclamatory tone: "Can you give her to me? I am willing to exchange half of the interests of the Herbert family in the Southern California Colony."

"Don't be impulsive, Master?"

After hearing this, the man next to him who looked like a butler hurriedly said: "This is just a corpse, not a lady!"

"what's on your mind?"

The young noble said in a displeased tone: "Such an exquisite corpse is already a wonderful work of art. I just want to carry her back and collect it, but I don't want to--"

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish speaking, an old man at the head scolded him in a low voice: "If you keep yelling blindly, be careful and I will carry you out first!"

There is a black iron medal on the old man's chest to identify himself. He should be just a mayor, but he seems to be very intimidating.

The young nobleman heard this and stopped talking angrily.

"Such a weird thing shouldn't be brought back!"

The old mayor then focused his attention on the sarcophagus below again, his expression solemn and even faintly fearful.

At this time, Meren, who was hiding, had also arrived here. He looked around and found that lying in the rough sarcophagus was a female corpse in black clothes and silver hair. She had a slender figure, graceful lines, and exquisite facial features that could be called perfect.

They looked basically the same as the two female savages he met before.

"I guessed it right, this skeleton is one of them."

Muttering secretly, he turned his head and looked at the real skeleton standing next to him, and found that the other person was able to ignore the concealment effect of the Wandering God's Boots and was also looking at him!

There was no expression on the empty eyes and simple face, but the panic was completely gone.

Right now, there is only a sense of relaxation and surprise like a child seeing his parents.

Even when Melen showed a smile to it, the white jade skeleton boldly grabbed Melen's sleeve with its claw-like hands, full of dependence in its mood.

Mellen thought it might have been frightened, so it became so enthusiastic after meeting an acquaintance of his.

That is to say, it was also caught off guard and unable to understand the changes in the surrounding environment.

"Let's seal this place off first."

While he was "reminiscing" with the skeleton, those around him had retreated at the signal of the old man, and the open sarcophagus was closed again.

"The specific treatment plan will be notified by the above."

"above?"

"I have reported this matter to the church, and someone will handle it in two days."

"You mean the executioners?"
