Li Ziyu could feel the strands of soul power emanating from the cemetery. He was certain that the Faye family's cemetery was the prayer cemetery of the undead.
According to the idea of the undead, the prayer cemetery can absorb the power of faith and transform it into soul power, and can also absorb free soul energy, thereby transforming the corpses buried in the cemetery into undead. The excess soul power will be sent to the Temple of the Dead for preservation.
Gathering power is naturally not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires a long period of accumulation and a large population to support it. The more believers there are in the Temple of the Dead, the faster the power of faith will be collected. The more corpses buried in the cemetery, the faster the power of souls will be collected. Praying in the cemetery and the Temple of the Dead complement each other.
Cuisen Mountain City and Sundburg made the same mistake. In order to demonstrate their power, the nobles designated the temple and cemetery as places that only nobles could enter and exit. Commoners were not qualified to come here, which actually reduced the absorption of the power of faith and soul power.
Sundberg is better than the mountain city of Cuisen. At least their prayer cemetery is open to the public, and even the bodies of civilians can be buried there. Therefore, the power of faith in the Temple of the Dead in Sundberg is extremely scarce, but there is still a lot of soul energy.
Things are even more outrageous in Cuisen Mountain City. Not only did Faye's family incorporate the Temple of the Dead into their own mountain fortress, they also occupied the prayer cemetery and used it as their ancestral tomb.
This is equivalent to them using the power of their own family to support two buildings. The accumulation of energy is naturally very slow, so that the income is not enough to cover the expenses, and the ghosts will show up on their own to beg Li Ziyu.
Standing in the cemetery, looking around at the gorgeous, exquisite tombstones and burial chambers with numerous relief carvings, covering a considerable area, Li Ziyu turned back to Faye and asked, "How long has this situation been going on?"
Faye was stunned by Li Ziyu's question and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
His question was incoherent and difficult to understand, so Li Ziyu asked again, "What I mean is, how long has your family used this place as a cemetery?"
Now Faye understood, and he said hesitantly, "This has been our family cemetery since I was a child. I don't know the exact time, but it should have been our family cemetery since the time of my grandfather's father."
Wow, that’s quite a long time.
It has been included in my family since my great-grandfather's generation, so it must have been more than a hundred or two hundred years.
Faye didn't know what was going on. Seeing Li Ziyu's speechless look, she asked carefully, "Is there something wrong?"
Li Ziyu sighed and said to him tiredly, "No, it's absolutely wrong. You're simply destroying the city wall. The souls in the temple are crying because of you and the nobles in the city. You are sinners!"
By the end of his speech, Li Ziyu's eyes were already erected, and his tone was mixed with an angry growl.
Faye trembled all over and looked at Li Ziyu in disbelief.
What have we done to suddenly become sinners?
The nobles of Cuisen Mountain City are much better than those of Sunderborg. Although they are also divided into inner and outer cities, their attitude towards civilians is still better than that of Sunderborg.
The original identities of the citizens of Cuisenshan City were almost the same. They were all miners. Later, some of them had more resources because of their quick minds and stood out and became nobles.
But after all, they had lived a hard life and had not forgotten their identity. So even after becoming nobles, they did not completely look down on the common people like other city nobles.
The reason why Cuisen Mountain City has developed so well is not only because of its mineral resources, but also because they are much more united than other cities. The citizens are at least willing to trust the nobles instead of being hostile to them.
Faye can confidently say that he has been working hard for Cuisen Mountain City all his life to make this city a better place. At the same time, when others have been pretending to obey the Holy Corpse and have secretly given up on it, he still believes in it devoutly and is one of the few people who can take the initiative to go to the temple to pray.
He really couldn't understand how he became a sinner.
If these words were said by someone else, he would definitely arrest that person and punish him for defamation.
But the person who said this now was the one who controlled the holy corpse. Even the holy corpse in the temple was crying to him and asking for his help.
Faye didn't dare to refute, but her eyes showed the meaning of "I don't believe it, I'm not wrong".
Li Ziyu knew from his eyes that he was dissatisfied, so he asked, "Do you know what the temple and the cemetery are all about?"
The temple and the cemetery were things that happened a long time ago. Not to mention Faye, even his great-grandfather might not be able to explain them clearly. He could only shake his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Li Ziyu acknowledged Faye's honesty, nodded, and explained, "The full names of the temple and cemetery are the Temple of the Dead and the Cemetery of Prayer. The holy corpses you refer to are actually called the Undead Clan. The Temple of the Dead and the Cemetery of Prayer were built by the Undead Clan for their dependents to protect them."
Faye naturally knew that the temple would protect the city. He nodded and waited for Li Ziyu's next words.
Li Ziyu did not disappoint him and continued, "Both the temple and the cemetery will naturally form what you call the holy corpse. The two complement each other and can be complementary. However, the holy corpse is not formed for no reason. It requires energy. Do you understand?"
