"Is this yours?" Sean asked the old woman.
"Yes...yes. Your Highness!"
The old woman looked very frightened, with a constant expression of "fear!" and "worry!" on her head, and her eyes were filled with terror.
"Don't be afraid, I won't blame you, I'm just interested in this doll."
After hearing Sean's assurance, the old woman finally relaxed a little. Even at such an old age, she was afraid of death. Perhaps it was the habits developed over the years that made them dare not do bad things in front of their master. Once a problem occurred, they would be very nervous and afraid of being punished.
Even though Sean said that he didn't blame the other party, he couldn't completely eliminate the deep-rooted fear of his master!
"I just don't understand why you made a doll like this. Aren't ordinary dolls supposed to be more like people? Or animals, too."
There are also toys like dolls.
Whether noble or common, most people would make similar things for their children.
Of course, the ones for the nobility are better, but even ordinary people can make one with a few pieces of cloth stuffed with hay or cotton, and then draw eyes and a nose on it!
"This is not a doll, Your Highness. This is a custom of our people, a carrier for praying to our ancestors!"
Well?
"Your Highness, there is indeed such a custom among the people in the east. They believe that the dead will return to their families, but they need something to become their body, and it is usually made into something like this." Illya on the other side helped.
east.
That's the place near the port of Muwan Town.
Of course, there couldn’t be only one Muwan Town in the entire eastern part of Adak. Even Muwan Town belonged to a country called the Kingdom of Swahili. Their prince was at his own wedding a few days ago.
However, Duskbend Town is also one of the cities in the east, and Illya, who was born there, probably understands this custom.
"But why is it made into this strip-shaped body?" Frelia took it in her hand and looked at it curiously.
"I don't know. I saw similar dolls being sold on the street when I was very young!" Illya replied.
“This is handed down from our ancestors.”
The old woman suddenly interrupted.
She is much older than both Illya and Frelia...
Elderly people of this age may not have much education, but they have a lot of experience, especially those who can become servants. They may have worked in many aristocratic and wealthy families in their lives and have seen a lot.
"Is this thing an heirloom?"
"Yes, Your Highness," the old woman spoke much calmer now.
"I also learned this from my mother, and she heard it from my mother-in-law... If a loved one dies at sea, they will slowly be found by the waves, and they will find their family no matter how long it takes... Therefore, a companion puppet is needed."
The old woman's words suddenly reminded Sean of the story about the lighthouse he heard in the street market when he first arrived.
Dead souls?
hiss~
Not to mention, Sean himself had actually seen this kind of soul with his own eyes.
But he couldn't confirm whether it was true or not, but it was definitely a supernatural state that existed in reality and could not be seen by the naked eye. It was not even wandering in the space of Yog-Sothoth's power, but existed as an energy body that was difficult to explain.
Sean had seen something similar in other dimensions. Just like the consciousness of a dead person, the spirit could exist for a long time in a non-material world. However, that strange spirit was something Sean couldn't explain...
In addition to the [Time Ruler], he also possesses the power of the [Gift of the Black Goat].
But I only saw this thing that time at sea, and it has never appeared on the mainland since then!
A very strange thing.
Combined with the stories they told, it makes people think of that part even more.
The power of the black goat Shab-Niggurath is to give birth to all things, including spirits. Sean once thought that this should be a kind of conscious entity. The skeletons he resurrected should also have been given a kind of "consciousness" power, so they can perform some actions like humans.
However, everyone has only one consciousness, which will slowly dissipate after death. Even people with powerful abilities can only retain important consciousness for a longer time, but part of it will still be lost. The proof of this is that Sean once saw the consciousness of the two leaders of the Desert Golden Group.
We also saw some fragments of their past in them.
However, all the memories that truly belonged to the two of them were lost when their bodies perished, so resurrection from the dead was essentially impossible.
However, those things on the sea confused Sean...
No explanation.
One of my thoughts is that there may be some special energy in the ocean that can recombine these chaotic consciousnesses, so they will form something like a ghost, but it is definitely not those so-called relatives.
After all, if they are mixed together, it will be chaos and disorder!
Since I don't live on the sea, I can only think of this. Anyway, it still feels very weird to Sean.
The power of [Gift from the Black Goat] has always given me a very strange feeling!
As for gestation, it didn't seem to give birth to anything for itself, but it did have some tricks in absorbing life points and then creating undead, and then its own strength increased.
Other functions have not yet been discovered!
"Sean? What are you thinking about?"
