Gold coin is justice

Chapter 99: Ancient Memory

An ancient diary, opened is an ancient legend.

Looking at these distant and obsolete texts, the stories that have been sealed in the dust for a long time unfold slowly.

What do these memories represent?What happened in the castle that stood on the plain?

What happened in that once glorious castle?

What is it that will bring him such a terrifying end?

All this, from the moment Airo opened the first page of the diary, slowly began to show up before his eyes.

May 16, sunny.

Today is the day of work on the first day of spreading.

After a week of tidying up, we finally cleaned up this old castle.The servants put everything in and put everything in order. Although there are still some small corners that have not had time to clean up, they can already move in.

Compared with the organized castle, Sabu seems to care more about his work.

I can understand this. His title, his glory and the meaning of his existence are all for this honor.

I will always remember, when he came back that day and told me that he was about to be named a baron, his face was almost full of sunshine!

Of course I am very happy as his wife. The title baroness seems to be good too?

However, I hope Nari can like this place.She had to part with her friends, hope she can find new playmates as soon as possible.

————

Cloudy on June 2.

Life in the castle is a bit boring. As a baroness’s wife, I can’t go out casually, nor can I visit the town.

Zabu really valued his honor too much, and he should remember that he was just a civilian not long ago, and should not be too alienated from the civilians in Pelican Town.

But even if I told him it should be useless. He has been madly running back and forth between the mine and the stone castle these days, as if he was trying to figure out everything here.

He didn't even have time to be with Nari, which made me very uncomfortable.Nari's mood seemed a little bad, and the weather was pretty bad today, she looked a little gloomy.

————

On July 15, there was a heavy rain.

Today Nari has a fever, and I begged Sabu not to leave our mother and daughter and run to the mine.Even if you value honor no matter how much you value, you still need to spend some time with your family, right?His knighthood is bestowed by his majesty, and he will not be deprived of it just because of a little slack in his work.

But Zabu's answer made me very angry. I even began to think that he prefers to stay in that dark mine than his wife and daughter.

He seems to be hiding something from me, should I investigate?

mistress?

It seems to be a tradition for nobles to have mistresses, and Sabu seems to follow this rule.I also know that each of those nobles has several mistresses, which is even a show off.Should I also support him and let him not think of me as a woman who is too careful?

————

July 17, sunny.

My dear finally apologized to me and admitted wrong, and he promised to spend a day with me and our daughter Nari.

This made me feel very relieved. After all, he remembered that he was a husband and a father.

In the chat, I finally understood why my dear is so nervous, all of which originated from our previous mine governor.

The governor before this seemed to have disappeared suddenly, but there was absolutely nothing unusual before he disappeared, and he just disappeared out of thin air.

After hearing this, I was a little scared, but my dear told me not to be afraid. This may be because the governor ran away after embezzlement, or eloped with his mistress.

And he told me that this time his Majesty appointed him here to serve as the governor, on the one hand to supervise the iron ore mining in the Changmian Mountains, and on the other hand to investigate the disappearance of the governor.

I really hope that the governor really disappeared because of corruption or other things like his mistress.The fact that a person disappears out of thin air sounds too uncomfortable.

On August 30, rain and sun sacrifice.

Obviously it is the Sun Festival, but the rain makes the festival seem a little ironic.

During this period of time, Sabu continued to stay in the mine indulged, and I was so suffocated for breath.

Now is obviously the time when we need to be with Nari most.

Is it because of your age?Nari will be ten years old soon, and she seems to be more and more active, as if she is very curious about everything in this world.

But sometimes, she would say something terrible to me.

She said that she often had nightmares, dreaming of something buried under this land.A huge, unspeakable living thing.

That thing would often enter her sleep and talk to her, chat with her.Because of this, Nari began to say some weird words to me. The words of some words were obviously very complicated, and even I couldn't say it clearly, but she could pronounce it accurately.

My daughter is starting to get weird. Sometimes she will shrink silently in the corner of the room, squatting facing the wall, squatting for a whole day, sometimes she will scream and run around. , Even the servants sometimes couldn't stop her.

I should have a good talk with Sabu.

On October 10, heavy fog.

Today’s weather is really bad. Pushing open the window, the only thing I can see is a vast expanse of whiteness.

The Pelican Town and the Everest Mountain Range that could have been easily seen are now hidden in this thick fog.

I felt as if I was enclosed in a glass cover, and a strong sense of loneliness made me uncomfortable.

I never thought that seeing that small town turned out to be such a reassuring thing for me.

I was a little scared. Although I knew it was impossible, I was really afraid that as long as I stretched out my hand, something would come out of the thick fog and bite off my arm.

Nari became more and more disobedient. It was clear that the weather was so bad, but she just said that it was a sunny day and she must run out.

I didn't catch her and let her run out of the city all at once, into the thick fog.

I couldn't see her, I yelled anxiously, but the servants ran out immediately.

I am really grateful to my servants for being able to catch that child back in such a thick fog. If I were to find it, I am afraid I would be lost in this thick fog.

"What are you looking at? Seeing so hard."

Airo, who was reading, suddenly twitched and turned around, and saw that Napa was now lying on her shoulder, looking at the diary in front of her.

Ai Luo exhaled and said, "Can you stop calling me like this? I was almost scared to death by you."

Napa chuckled, "Why do you even get scared to death by reading a diary? This diary has been on the shelf since you brought it back from Neuschwanstein Castle. Why do you want to read it now?"

Ai Luo thought for a while, simply bookmarked his diary and said, "You have more experience than mine. I want to ask you, do you know about the monster hidden under the castle of Neuschwanstein?"

Napa floated slowly to the table, lying on her stomach in the sun, and said, "Monster? What monster?"

Ai Luo explained the process of the death of many grains in detail. After listening to Napa, her two small paws kept licking, then wiped her face, and said: "It's kind of like a siren, because the siren has tentacles. But Hai Shouldn't the demon appear in such a small place? And I heard that the size is not small... I have never heard of such a monster."

Ai Luo sighed and continued: "This is really weird. The underground pit doesn't look like so wet, but the torch is extinguished when it is thrown in. But when there are many grains in it, there is no Show how difficult to breathe... Of course, he didn't breathe for much time at all."

Napa licked her fleshy ball again and wiped her face. Suddenly, as if she was thinking of something, she said, "Although I don't know what that thing in the underground passage is, but the reason why there are too many grains to go to the underground passage , I may have guessed a little."

Airo: "Oh? Why?"

Napa snorted, "Because of the ghost."

"Ghost???" Ai Luo looked a little surprised. After hesitating for a few seconds, he pointed his finger in the direction of the cocoa room, "Can the ghost be controlled by the Necromancer?"

Napa snorted again: "What you think is too good. The necromantic spells of that little girl's level are far behind! The ghosts in the room may be more different than I knew."

"Phantoms are good at mental attacks. They can affect the human brain, allowing all kinds of illusions and auditory hallucinations to appear naturally in the human brain. To form a ghost, it generally requires powerful necromantic magic and some People who die with resentment. This kind of thing is actually rare, because the power and investment required to create a ghost is completely incomparable with the benefits."

"Although ghosts are good at mental attacks, their weaknesses are also obvious. Just like many Necromancers, they are generally afraid of the power of the light."

Having said that, Napa glanced at Airo, then wagged her tail lazily, and said--

"But even so, our guild currently has no members with affinity for light and magic, so don't think about ghosts anymore."

Hearing Napa's words, Ai Luo curled his lips and began to read the diary in his hand.

November 20th, rain.

Today is another rainy day, which makes me feel very bored.

How many days is this already?Why it has been raining for more than half a month, and it hasn't cleared for a day.

The servants also looked abnormal. In such a rainy climate, they would go shopping in that small town without holding an umbrella.

Sabu started to ignore me again, and I haven't even seen him for several days.

He got up every day before the sun rose, and he didn't even come back until I went to bed.

Sometimes I even wonder, did he never come back?

But every morning when I get up, I see that the bedding next to me looks like I've been asleep, so he still comes back at least once a day, right?

Sometimes, I will hear him talking to me in a daze.

Am I dreaming?

In my dream, his voice is so gentle and beautiful.Just like when we were just married, we had a great time every night.

But can't see him, I'm really about to collapse.

Tonight, no matter what, I will insist on waiting for him to return without sleeping.I long to see Sabu, I must see my husband!

————

December 1st, a sunny day!

Mother is fierce to me, I don’t know where is wrong, my mother is getting fierce!

Mom never hit me before, but today my mother hit me!

It's so mysterious all day, not letting me enter their door.Moreover, my mother seemed to be waiting for someone every day, and she dressed beautifully when she got up in the morning and stood on the balcony looking at the direction of the Changmian Mountain.

Today, even stranger things have happened.

Originally, my mother’s face was always dark, but today she smiled happily and even made some delicious food for me!

But after noon, my mother shut herself in the room alone, as if talking to someone.

What are you talking about?It's too vague, I can't hear it clearly.But Mom must be talking to a stranger.

I don’t know why my mother forbids me to go out to play. It’s such a good weather, it would be a shame if I still can’t go outside... The person who talks to my mother doesn’t know what she looks like, can I ask him to help me and mother Talk about it?

Dad has not come back for three days, Dad...uuuuu...

————

Seeing this, Ai Luo put down his diary and turned to look at Napa next to him: "What do you think?"

Napa floated over, swept across these words one by one, and her tail swayed slightly: "It feels... a bit strange. It starts to affect people's thoughts through subtle changes, and even produces illusions? More importantly...this is both mother and daughter I'm saying that the other party has a problem, but my husband stays in the mine all day long. Hmm... I really can't think of what kind of monsters can do this kind of thing. Moreover, this kind of thing is really unnecessary. ."

Ai Luo propped his chin with a pleading expression: "No need? Beasts create hallucinations and affect humans. How can this be called unnecessary?"

Napa shook her head and said, "Illusions are of course okay, but the magical creatures create hallucinations for other life forms to prey, fight, and fight for territory. Look at the date, it's been more than half a year, so long. It’s no good to continue to create hallucinations, so why do you spend so much energy doing these things."

Ai Luo glanced at the diary again, frowned and said, "Illusions...? To be honest, I feel more like an influence on my mind than an illusion. I should..."

Speaking of this, Ai Luo shook his head abruptly and kept watching.

On December 31, Holy Eve Festival, rain.

It's really annoying weather, there is still no intention to stop after the Holy Eve.

Such bad weather made Sabu feel a little unhappy.Although, I am very happy that the time he has recently returned has started to increase.

Today, he told me that iron ore mining has reached a deadlock.The mines in the Eversom Mountains have not produced any minerals for a month.

This situation seemed terrible. Although Spread kept ordering the miners to continue digging below, the iron ore never appeared again.

I advise Spreading and hope he can calm down.

Even if I don't understand anything, in recent chats with the servants, they occasionally started talking about the landslide in the mine being more and more serious. Many people have been missing, and every time I went to the mine, it seemed dangerous.

However, Spreading did not mean to give up at all. His face was full of confidence, and he kept telling me that he believed that there was something under the mine, and it was still very precious!

I asked him where he got this confidence, and he smiled at me and said that there was very reliable news.

I only hope that he can be safe and accept everything else.

In addition, I am also very worried about the townspeople. They seem to be crazy, their behavior looks very weird, and the faces of some townspeople are beginning to deform.I don't know why there are so many people who look like bugs in Pelican Town, which makes me feel a little sick.

————

On January 4th, it snowed.

Dad didn't go to the mine again, I was really happy.

I want my father to play with me, and I have been locked in the castle by my mother. I think I am going crazy!

But every time I approach my father, my mother will chase me away fiercely.

Why?My dad is my dad too, why does my mom want to see the enemy so she wouldn't allow me to approach dad?

Mom, if you see my diary, tell me what I did wrong, why don’t you agree to play with my dad?

Today, my father brought in many servants and said that he would dig the basement to store food.

It's fine if you don't play with me, even the servant father who accompanied me to the snowball fight outside was transferred.

I am lonely, I want to play, I want to build a snowman with everyone, have a snowball fight, and roll around on the snow.I don't want to be here anymore, my parents hate it!

————

On February 1, heavy fog.

The rain stopped, but the fog started again.

Today, Sabu killed two more townspeople.Because they are lazy, they must pay the price of their lives.

At the same time, blood can soothe, and soul can protect us from evil.

Sabu told me that there was an evil atmosphere in Pelican Town. When he said that, I seemed to be able to see it.

These townspeople began to feel dissatisfied with my husband. I hate the way they look at our family.

They are evil, and we are bright.Since ancient times, light is destined to defeat evil!Their souls may not understand how noble our cause will be until they reach the other side.

I just hope that Nari will stop yelling, she is a little noisy to my dear husband's work.Tomorrow there are ten more people to kill, and their liver and heart will be the best sacrifices.Even the servants are tired of killing, it seems that I have to do it myself.

Sabu said that the mining of iron ore has some light, but instead of going to the mine, he digs harder under our castle.Could it be that there are a lot of iron ore veins hidden under our feet?

————

It was sunny on February 18th.

Today, I sneaked into the basement my father dug, but my father immediately kicked it out.

Dad looks so nervous, what is hidden in this basement?

I asked him, but my father refused to tell me.Humph!stingy.

Mom never seemed to read my diary, because she never thought of coming to accompany me.

I obviously saw Dad in the basement as if talking to someone, and he was very religious, so Dad knelt down.

Is the emperor down?I haven't seen His Majesty the Emperor yet, so I must go in again next time.

————

It was sunny on March 27.

Finally, it cleared up!

Having lived here for almost a year, I almost forget what a sunny day is like.

Sabu said that the iron ore in the Eversom Mountains has been completely discontinued. It is estimated that it will not be long before the empire will recall him and announce the cessation of the development of the Eversom Mountains.

I am very happy about it because I can finally get away from those bugs and return to the big city with my husband.He won't have such busy days again, we can lie on the warm beach, basking in the sun, and then enjoy a perfect vacation.

It's just that Sabu still doesn't seem to give up, but his face is always smiling.

Did he know something?Or did he find something?

Forget it, don't worry about all this, after all, we will be able to leave this ghost place soon.

I'm getting tired of dealing with those mobs, and I can't kill them. It's really exactly the same as bugs, annoying.

————

On April 22, there was a thunderstorm.

This will be the last diary I have recorded here, right?Because tomorrow afternoon, our carriage will leave.

I finally feel relieved, many things can be resolved, and I will no longer be trapped in this dirty and narrow place.

The look in Sabu's eyes is really getting more and more beautiful. Is he falling in love with me again?After so many years of marriage, he really embarrassed me to look at me with this look again.

It's just that those mobs came again, and Sabu said that my daughter and I should hide in the room for a while, and he would go out to deal with it.I closed the door, and he also locked the door outside to protect the safety of our mother and daughter.

Sabu said that he would take us to a better place. I hope what he said is true.

In fact, even if it's fake, as long as you don't stay here, then anywhere will be millions of times better than here.

I'm just a little surprised. Why did Spread put so many firewoods in every corner of the castle?This seems meaningless.

Forget it, he will pick up our mother and daughter in a while.On the last night, I will bear it.

————

On April 23, the weather was fine.

We packed up and prepared to leave this place in a carriage.Dad told me that we will go to a better place in the future and our lives will become better and better. Therefore, I believe in Dad.
