Chapter 598: Strange Shadow

"The family cemetery below the church..."

Sitting on the seat in the carriage, Dorothy looked at the information written by Misha on the "Wenhai Hangzhi" in front of her, touched her chin and began to think.

"I didn't expect that Ampel was buried directly in the family cemetery in Devonshire, not in some remote and strange place. The key is that this family cemetery is quite close, near Tivian, so there is no need to travel a long way..."

Dorothy had such thoughts. After her trip to North Utah, her concept of cemeteries had always been remote and dangerous places. Regardless of whether the Devonshire family cemetery was dangerous or not, at least it was not remote.

"Can you tell me the details of your family cemetery?"

Dorothy then wrote on the correspondence page of the Journal of the Sea of ​​Literature, and soon Misha replied.

"Why are you asking this question all of a sudden? Could it be that our family's cemetery is related to Bajian?"

"I don't know whether it has any connection with Bajian yet, but now I can confirm that it is related to what Lord Barrett is studying. I have found his research partner, and an important clue in their research is now in your ancestor..." Dorothy wrote on the page, and then briefly narrated the information provided by John to Misha while avoiding identifying the poison. Not long after, Misha responded.

"I see... Lord Barrett's research content must indeed be clarified. If what you said is true, and there is a related existence among Devonshire's ancestors, then it is necessary to find out... But I also want to remind you that with regard to Devonshire's cemetery, other than obtaining information, don't have any other crooked intentions..."

Misha responded to Dorothy like this, and then she began to introduce the situation of the cemetery in more detail. The subsequent words appeared on the pages of the book line by line and in front of Dorothy's eyes.

"Our family cemetery is in Zhonghu Cemetery, which is divided into two parts, the Hall of Glory under the Zhonghu Church and the ordinary cemetery outside the church. Ordinary family members will be buried here after their death, while outstanding ones will be buried in the Hall of Glory.

"The Hall of Glory was built with some precious cold stones, which can isolate unreal beings such as the undead and have certain extraordinary effects. The entire Hall of Glory was completely sealed off during the twelfth century, and no one could enter. The outer wall of the Hall of Glory is a very solid monolithic rock, and it is very difficult to dig a hole to get in. Although this kind of stone wall is not indestructible, destroying it will cause a huge noise, which will alarm the gravekeepers in the cemetery. If the gravekeepers find too loud a noise, they will stop the inspection and immediately contact the Security Bureau and the family.

"Inside the Hall of Glory, there is an ancient ritual guarding it. This ritual is based on the remains of many powerful people from the same family buried in one place. It is a kind of blood-based protection that can make people who are not family blood relatives feel severe discomfort and weakness after entering the cemetery, and even make them unable to move. Anyone who is not a member of the Devonshire family will trigger this protection when entering the Hall of Glory.

"This is a spiritual ritual of Silence. It is rumored that Devonshire's ancestors once hired a powerful Northern Crow Silence Beyonder with gold to set it up. Many ancient families in Put and even on the continent have similar rituals to protect their family cemeteries. The power of this ritual is based on the remains of a large number of family members buried together."

Misha's main points appeared in Dorothy's eyes. After reading it, Dorothy touched her chin thoughtfully, then picked up the pen and continued writing.

"In other words, if you want to enter Devon Hill's underground cemetery, you must be a member of the Hill family?"

"Generally speaking, people who are not from Devonshire will feel uncomfortable after entering. Of course, if people from other families who are related to Devonshire by blood come, they can also enter. The stronger the blood relationship, the less affected they will be, and vice versa.

"Since Devonshire is an ancient noble family of Prot, there are many large families that have marriage relations with Devonshire. For example, the Evanson and Kront families have long-term marriage relations with us. There are even many royal families who are related to us by marriage. There are often important members of the royal family who marry women from Devonshire. People from these families can also enter the Hall of Glory, but they will be affected to a certain extent."

Misha's responses appeared continuously in front of Dorothy. After reading them once, Dorothy immediately wrote down her response.

"So, Ms. Misha, as a member of the Devonshire family, you should be able to go in there, right?"

"I should be able to get in, but the problem is, how do I get in? The Hall of Glory is only opened with great effort when a funeral is held for an outstanding person in the clan. It is very difficult to get in quietly at other times."

Misha's response appeared in front of Dorothy. Dorothy paused slightly after reading it, and then wrote.

"Ms. Misha, as a royal knight and a Cretaceous-level extraordinary being, are you considered an outstanding person in the Devonshire clan?" Dorothy wrote to Misha, and then sat in her seat and waited slowly. After a long while, Misha's response appeared on the pages of "Wenhai Hangzhi".

"I think... I guess I can count as one..."

…

At 4:00 pm, in the suburbs of Tivian, on a wide green space among the woods, there is a noble cemetery. Long black iron railings extend out, enclosing a large green lawn. On the green lawn, neatly arranged stone tablets record the passing of former noble members. In the center of this huge cemetery, a small church stands there, surrounded by countless tombstones, becoming the core of the past family.

This is the family cemetery of the Devonshire family, an old noble family of the Putt Kingdom, the Zhonghu Cemetery. The Devonshire family has been with the Despenser royal family since the beginning of the Windward Dynasty. The people in the family have made many contributions to the royal family for hundreds of years. The rewards from the royal family have allowed Devonshire to possess a lot of wealth and land, as well as a lot of glory. The high standards of this Zhonghu Cemetery and its excellent location are one of the symbols of this glory.

At this moment in the cemetery, a solemn funeral is being held. In front of the church in the center of the cemetery, many figures are gathering.

Tall guards stood guard at all the main exits of the cemetery and on both sides of the roads. In the square in front of the cemetery church, many men and women in black formal suits were standing in an orderly manner around the square. Representatives from many famous noble families in Tivian were mixed in with them, watching the scene on the square with solemn expressions.

In the center of the square, a black plain coffin was placed there. An old priest of the church was holding a holy book in his hand and reading a eulogy in an old and steady voice, praising the qualities and contributions of the person buried there and expressing his regret. On the other side of the coffin, an old woman was crying with her face covered. A young man was standing next to her, supporting her. Next to them was a plump bald old man with a sad face.

This is the funeral of Misha, the eldest daughter of Lord Devonshire and an important member of the Devonshire family. She was the pride of the new generation of the Devonshire family, but unfortunately she died in an accident during a secret operation. Her untimely death made the whole family sad and regretful. Her funeral was finally held after careful arrangements. As a leader of the younger generation of Devonshire and a royal knight of the Cretaceous order, she is qualified to rest in peace with her outstanding ancestors.
