Mysterious Catastrophe

The elusive ghoul was a thorn in Aaron's heart.

But... Now that he leaves the cemetery, he has no other place to go, so he can only make do with it first.

After cleaning the house, Aaron broke another willow branch, bit it open, and used the wood fiber inside as a toothbrush for personal hygiene.

Breakfast is still black bread as usual, which is the staple food of the lower class in this era.

"When I first crossed... I didn't eat this kind of food."

Aaron thought angrily while trying to soften the bread.

"Relying on being able to read and write... I won't have many problems applying for a clerk in the future."

Just as Aaron was thinking about his future career plans, a long-legged young man ran into the cemetery: "Zorro... prepare a cemetery."

He is tall and thin, with some freckles on his face. He is the son of the old corpse-bearer in the town—Ivy!

According to the tradition in the town that the son of a farmer is a farmer and the son of a blacksmith is a blacksmith, when the corpse carrier retires, he will take over from his father's generation.

It's as if Zorro took over the grave keeper's duties.

But in fact——Ivey has already started to help his father with work.

Aaron's face changed: "Is anyone dead?"

"Well, it's Soldier Ron..."

Ivy just came to inform Aaron: "He died on the battlefield. The baron rewarded his parents and may even attend his funeral in person. You should prepare well..."

"I know."

Aaron nodded. This is the same as a superior inspection, and he understands everything.

After a pause, he asked curiously, "Is it so intense on the battlefield?"

"no!"

Ivy's expression was a bit strange: "Poor Ron...he accidentally tripped and died when he was charging on the battlefield, and hit the back of his head on a stone..."

"poor guy."

Aaron couldn't help but sympathize, this is an unfortunate person.

"Now everyone envies Ron's family. Although Ron is dead, his parents still have many children... The baron gave a bag of silver coins to Ron's family and announced that his family will become free citizens."

Evie envied.

In this era, human life is not valuable, or... the life of the poor is valuable!

It's frustrating, but it's reality.

"Ugh……"

Aaron sighed, and then chatted casually, asking about recent interesting things in the town.

Ivie didn't doubt him, and casually said a few interesting things.

One of them caught Aaron's attention.

"Do you remember those rascals? Smith's wife found the sheriff today and said that Smith had been missing for more than a day..."

"And then?" Aaron asked.

"There's no more..." Ivan shrugged his shoulders: "It's not unheard of for that group of scoundrels to disappear for a few days... I even suspect that they have connections with gangsters and have been doing some criminal activities!"

"All right……"

Aaron had to admit that he overestimated the sheriff of this era.

The other party has no sense of responsibility at all, and only wants to make money!

……

It's afternoon.

A group of people came to the cemetery, bringing a lot of life to the silent cemetery.

In front of a new tomb opened by Aaron, a dark coffin is quietly parked, saying a final farewell to relatives.

Ron's parents were a pair of honest farmers. At this time, the mother was sobbing, and the father was very silent.

Everyone stepped forward one by one and placed a chrysanthemum on the coffin.

The whole process seemed silent and solemn.

After the ceremony was over, Aaron and Ivie put the coffin into the tomb and covered it with soil.

At this moment, Ron's mother finally burst into tears.

Aaron looked at the newly erected tombstone, the epitaph above is very simple - 'brave son, loyal soldier'!

On the edge of the cemetery, there is also a carriage.

The carriage was ornately decorated, with a griffin badge on it, and several knights were guarding it nearby.

But even without a badge, anyone who can use a carriage in Yanan Town must be a high-ranking person.

A middle-aged nobleman walked over with a little girl.

"Dear Lord Lancaster..."

Aaron and Evie hurriedly saluted.

"You have done a good job, those who are loyal to me should get a decent ending!"

Lancaster has blue eyes and a broad forehead, not at all like a nobleman who would go to war with a nearby lord over a fawn.

And the girl beside him has the same eye color as his, and is looking at the two of them curiously.

This is Lancaster's third daughter, Miss Catherine.

"Hard work should be rewarded!"

Lancaster casually threw two silver coins over.

"Thank you sir!"

For people in this era, accepting rewards from superiors is a matter of course and a very honorable thing.

Looking at the carriage where the Baron left, Aaron threw a silver coin to Ivie.

This is his due.

"The baron is so generous..." Ivan rubbed the silver coin over and over again. The head portrait on it had already been worn out, and the quality was very poor. It was probably a coin minted privately by nobles.

"Ah."

Aaron put away the silver coins and nodded.

"With money, how about going to the tavern for a drink tonight?" Evie suddenly winked at Aaron: "Winnie must miss you very much!"

"Come on, she misses every man who gives her money!"

Aaron rolled his eyes, but still nodded: "But that's right, if you make money, you spend it. Let's have a drink together tonight..."

In a long life, there must be some fun. Anyway, Aaron will never admit that he was influenced by the Immortal Venerable...

Chapter 1103 Diary

【Decided to start writing a diary, uh, the paper is a bit expensive, but Aunt Sophia gave me a discount...】

【Well, the quality of the rye beer in the tavern is really low, and I don’t know how much water was added... No, it’s how much wine was added to the water... But Winnie’s waist twisted so coquettishly, she decided to go again next time... ...]

[To die, the citizens of Baron Lancaster have no sense of time, and they don’t know what year it is... I can only count from the day Baron Lancaster became a baron, so now is the ninth Year, the month of sowing, nothing happened today...]

[The month of planting, on the 12th, another guest ushered in. The other guest had diarrhea due to drinking unboiled water, and was bled to death by an unscrupulous doctor... Fortunately, the tipping of the other party’s family members was quite generous, so I chose A good grave. 】

【Go to the tavern...】

【Go to the tavern...】

[Finding out that a new waitress has come to the tavern, Winnie seems a little jealous...]

[No money, start working hard... No wonder!I found a wooden sword and began to recover my previous craftsmanship... Perhaps, I can dig a few graves and find out if there are any weapons buried with me? 】

【The month of scorching heat, it’s so hot... The tomb robbery plan is in progress, just to be on the safe side... I deliberately boasted that a certain unlucky guy was buried with a bag full of silver coins as funeral objects, people are always greedy... Someone will come to rob the tomb tonight. 】

[Continuing from the previous article, at night, there were tomb robbers, and then... that ghoul appeared again!I'm absolutely sure of one thing - that ghoul has a pattern of movement, and it's guarding the cemetery!Or... those corpses!This is really an incredible thing, if it has no self-awareness, it must be raised by someone! 】

【I don’t have to rob the tomb anymore, I’m depressed...】

[If you don't have money to go to the tavern, you will be even more depressed! 】

[In the autumn harvest month, the sown wheat has a bumper harvest. After all, I have mastered the technology of composting and soil fertilizer, and know how to farm scientifically... The price of wheat this year is good. I made a fortune and went to the blacksmith shop to buy myself an iron sword ...]

[On the 17th, Baron Lancaster did not hold the autumn harvest celebration as usual, because an unfortunate incident happened. One of his heirs just passed away!The scale of the tomb is very large this time, and many members of the nobles and knights have come... I also learned from Ivy that the Baron only has three daughters, and he is in a very embarrassing situation... This time it happened It should have hit him hard, right? 】

[However, I see that the baron's son died, and the citizens don't care about it, and are even quite happy, because this year's harvest is good...]

……

[Just ten years ago, in the moon of spring, many old people who could not survive the winter died, but not everyone has the money to buy a cemetery... Fortunately, spring is here, and everything is improving, and finally I can be a little less busy Well, I don't even go to taverns these days. 】

[I went shopping around the forest and found some herbs. Through simple identification, I feel that a herbal science can be created... I heard that the reason why those demon hunters have a strong physique is that apart from hard training, they have nothing to do with taking decoctions. It's also related... Perhaps, I can also develop a decoction system to strengthen the body for myself? 】

[I really want to meet the demon hunters... It's a pity that according to the oldest grandpa Eisen in the town, the whereabouts of the demon hunters are uncertain, and the last time we had a demon hunter in Yanan Town was more than 20 years ago... Okay Well, this damned, poor, backward feudal society...]

[Xia Zhiyue, continue to collect herbs, look for small animals to test medicine...]

【Winnie is actually married, sad... It is said that she found an honest man, I wish her a happy wedding... The newcomer Tracy in the tavern looks really good, but her skin is a little darker...】

……

[After 11 years of being a prince, after countless attempts, my personal attribute panel finally recognized my herbalism and formed a skill... It is worth commemorating, and I went to the tavern to celebrate...]

[Aunt Sophia always says that I should get married, but I don't want to look for it, and I can't find a suitable marriage partner...Ordinary women always have a little discrimination against the work of guarding the grave, and...I don't like those Village woman...]

[Combined with several observations, I am more and more sure that the ghoul was raised by someone... After finding out the rules of its actions, I think it is very good to have such a guard, which makes people feel at ease. 】

[Autumn Moon, I heard that there is a water ghost in Roland's territory next door. A passing demon hunter solved the water ghost, but by the time I chased him, the demon hunter had already left... This damn message speed! 】

【By the way, I delayed the autumn harvest to hunt down the demon man. Fortunately, I found Evie to help me. For this reason, I asked him three times!Three times! 】

……

[The baron has been in the baron for 12 years, and the baron looks older and older. He has been suffering from the problem of not having an heir, and his relatives are greedily eyeing his position, especially his two sons-in-law...]

[I feel the storm coming, maybe... it's time to leave? 】

……

In the gravekeeper's hut.

Aaron put down the quill and left square pictographic characters on the paper, a system completely different from the local alphabet, ensuring that no one who reads it will recognize what he wrote.

But just to be on the safe side, Aaron put the diary away.

He kept a diary for a long time, and sometimes he only recorded one entry in a month, but at this time it only occupied half of the diary.

Even, a large part of it is the key herbal formula.

Even so, once seen by outsiders, there is a suspicion of communicating with demons—don't underestimate human ignorance and fear of the unknown!

Therefore, he still carefully hid the diary.

Then, I went outside the house, fetched a basin of water, and started the daily cleaning work.

On the surface of the water, a young man with ordinary facial features and a dark outline is clearly reflected.

In this era, when approaching the age of 30, most people look old, and they can be regarded as entering the category of middle-aged and elderly people.

It is very rare to be as young and energetic as Aaron, who seems to have an eternal appearance.

However, after washing up, he habitually took out a ball of ointment from the small jar next to it and spread it evenly on his face.

This is a by-product made by Aaron when he identified herbs and developed various medicines. It is rich in herbal essence and collagen, and it moisturizes the skin. It is non-toxic and has no side effects...

No, there are still some side effects.

After smearing it, his complexion gradually became a little rough, wrinkles were faintly visible, and his hair was also slightly gray.

This is the image of a middle-aged leader!

After all this is done, Aaron glances at the properties panel:

[Name: Aaron (Zorro)]
