Section 14 Analysis
This should be what Eric just mentioned about the carriage. Of course, the coachman did not notice that someone was peeping in the grass on the side of the road. The car continued to move forward slowly, turning from the roadside into the path to the highlands. Now, Ashu Rufate could clearly see that the car was full of corpses.
Driven by the whip, the two horses plucked up their strength and pulled the heavy cart to the high ground, and finally stopped by the hut.
The coachman should have used some mechanical device installed on the car to remove all the bodies in one go. All the bodies were stripped naked, but a few were also wearing damaged, dirty and worthless clothes.
The coachman undoubtedly had already become familiar with the road. He just shouted into the hut, turned around and left slowly.
"Do you want to go and see, master?" Carrie suggested in his mind. "Did you just notice the body in the car... It's not very similar to it if you die of hunger and disease. It's even more like being executed."
Indeed, although it was only a short time just now, the corpses did not look like they were killed. Because the deceased did not look particularly thin.
"Well, go and have a look." Ashu Rufate was a little curious. After the corpse cart was away, when he came to the hut again, he saw Fei digging the ground with a shovel.
Now he doesn't need to ask him what Fei's work is here. It's not that Ash Rufate has never seen burying corpses (this thing is a very ordinary job after the war), but to be honest, seeing a girl doing such a thing has a very inconsistent feeling. Fei also saw him, but he didn't say anything, and just continued to dig the ground silently.
"Do you want me to help?" Ashu Rufat asked casually.
"No, I'll finish it in half a day." Fei replied. "I had dug about twenty tombs yesterday. But today I sent more than one of the expected results."
"I'll do it." Ashu Rufate wanted to grab the shovel from her hand, but Fei grabbed it. Ashu Rufate saw a very obvious alertness in her eyes - no matter what Eric thought, the girl obviously distrusts her.
"I can do it myself!" She held the shovel and refused to give in.
Ash Rufat chuckled, then grabbed the wind of life. A greasy oil squeezed into his pores, making him feel a squirm of disgusting disgust. This nauseating feeling was related to the magical wind he was in contact with.
His finger pointed to the ground, and the magic energy hidden deep in the earth was detonated by him. In fact, he was not skilled in controlling this magic wind, but he was more than rubbed at this moment. The soil was sprayed directly from the ground, and each stroke created a deep pit that could bury people.
It was just a moment. From the outside, he just lit a few times at the ground.
"That's all right." Ashu Rufate said to Fei. She stared at him with wide eyes, as if he was a red viper.
"Demon...Mahism? Are you a magician?"
Ashrufate did not answer, but walked to the pile of corpses. Now he could take the opportunity to drag the corpses into the tomb to carefully examine the corpses one by one. And it would definitely not arouse Fei's curiosity.
The first body was trauma, because of a fight or because a rock fell from a high place, his skull was broken. The second was simpler, with a very clear large wound on his neck, and a wooden stake was still stuck there.
However, if the cause of death can be seen from these two corpses, the corpses behind will be difficult to explain. There are more than twenty corpses in a row, including men and women, all of which are complete, without any external injuries, nor any obvious signs of damage left by disease and hard labor. Their only thing in common is that they all died, and the expressions on the deceased's faces show that they were quite painful before their death.
"Carrie, can you tell what's going on?" Ashu Rufate asked in his mind.
"Master...it looks like... it's dead from some powerful radiation ray!"
"Radiation rays? What does this mean?"
"Well... you don't have permission to explain the relevant terms... In the words you can understand, it is an invisible and intangible energy! This energy is a very poison for ordinary people. These people stayed in this poison for too long, causing their bodies to be eroded by the poison."
"That is, they are destined to die...the people in the church know that they will die?"
"The people in the church may not know... but their God must know! In fact, if you reduce your working hours in poisons and give them enough rest time to remove poisons that invade the body, then it is not that serious. It is okay to let them wear clothes that fight radiation... But it seems that the gods in the Star Realm do not have the motivation at all. Because doing so is more beneficial to them."
"Why is it more beneficial?" Logically speaking, the reduction in labor force due to death should be a big problem.
"Because in this way, no matter what they dig, they will die soon. Any secret will be hidden forever, and outsiders will not know. Although doing so will kill some workers, it is a very cost-effective transaction than the safety brought by this."
"Then what do they treat humans as..." Ashu Rufate suddenly felt anger.
"If it is a special hostility and hatred, there is no such thing. But in the eyes of the immortals, mortals who are destined to die are as lowly as ants!" Carrie replied in a calm voice. "They are just beings who are only worthy of being exploited and ravaged."
Ashrufate once again pulled a body into a pit. The deceased was a woman with a big belly. Unlike other deceased, her face was more relieved than painful. She placed one hand on her lower abdomen, as if she had been stroking her belly before she died, and finally she kept her stiff and died.
"Master, this is a pregnant woman." Carrie explained in her mind.
"I know! Stop!" Ashu Rufate yelled at Carrie in his mind. Although he actually didn't have hope, he still reached out and touched the deceased's belly. It was already cold and silent, and there was no sign of life anymore. There was nothing strange about this. This woman should have been dead for a day or two - the mother was dead, and the unborn child was at all possible to be spared.
Ashu Rufate silently put the dead in the pit, and then walked towards the pile of corpses with heavy steps. There were only two remaining corpses, so Ashu Rufate simply dragged them away at once.
"There are 43 in total," after finishing the work of burying the body, Carrie began to count in her mind. "Two died of trauma, twenty-seven died of radiation, and the rest died of disease. The cause of the disease was initially determined to be complications caused by diet and hard labor, and no malignant infectious diseases were found for the time being! In other words, except for the two people who died of trauma, the others were all abused and died of abuse."
"Carrie." Ashu Rufat suddenly said in his mind.
"Here, Master, what are the instructions?"
"I decided to see what they were digging there!" In my mind, Ashu Rufate said in a very calm voice. After saying this, he once again grabbed the magic wind and used the power of magic to fill all the pits at once.
When he first came to this cemetery, he could not feel what Carrie said about the "resentment of the dead", but for some reason he could clearly feel it at this time. It was a sound of floating in his ears, as if crying there, as if it was a illusion, but he could not linger.
"The rest is left to you." He turned around and said to Fei. During the whole process, Fei was stunned for a while, just watching Ash Rufate complete the work. Now that the work is done, it will be over as soon as you simply erect the tombstone.
"What do you mean!" Suddenly, Fei suddenly became angry and threw the shovel in his hand to the ground. "Do you feel sorry for me?"
"It's not that I feel sorry for you, but this is not suitable for girls!" Ashu Rufate didn't react for a while.
"How can a playboy like you who pursues boring goals like 'eternal life' understand what is suitable and what is not suitable!" Fei looked at Ash Rufate fiercely. The anger in his eyes was not a disguise. Although Ash Rufate had no idea why Fei had such a big temper.
"Well, master, now, you should keep your demeanor and smile." Carrie reminded in his mind.
"Well, since that's the case, even if you owe me this time, I'd like to pay it back to me next time I have the chance." Ash Rufate replied. "I should leave too."
He turned and left. Fei didn't say anything, but watched his figure go away until Ashu Rufate's figure disappeared on the edge of the high ground and was completely invisible.
It was already dark.
Ashu Rufate stood on a small high ground, and the castle was clearly visible in the distance. And in front of him was the excavation site - instead of using excavation site, it would be more appropriate to describe this place as a "giant pit". In the center of the huge pit, a huge object can be vaguely seen. It seems that the purpose of digging the pit is to excavate this thing. However, although a considerable part of it has been dug out, Ashu Rufate cannot see what this thing is.
He was not worried that anyone would find him. At this time, the entire construction site was empty, with no hard-working prisoners and no guards. This was easy to understand, because no one wanted to stay in this terrible place for even one second. When the work time came, everyone couldn't wait to leave.
"Carrie, you know what this is" Carrie explained in her mind,
"Well...it's still difficult to judge now." Carrie said, "Master, let's take a look?"
Ashu Rufat walked into the middle of the huge pit as he said. This was easy for him, because he could jump off a height that ordinary people could not jump or over an obstacle that could not be climbed.
"Master, the radiation here is very strong," said Carrie. "I feel that the radiation intensity in this circle is different. The radiation here on the left is particularly strong, and it has reached a fatal level. Those dead should be forced to work here."
