"Since we have doubts, why don't we just ask the warden? The person involved has more say in this matter."
This statement was so outrageous that everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to see who said it.
Then they saw the messenger from the underworld walking out with a smile on his face.
Oh, that's okay.
The leading guardian looked at the Underworld Messenger with a little surprise: "What do you mean?"
The messenger from the underworld walked out from the crowd. His voice was low and hollow, not like that of a living person, and of course he was not one.
"To be honest, I'm a little surprised by your reaction just now." The messenger of the underworld said slowly, "You have been saying that the warden was killed."
"Is there any problem with this?" The guardian frowned slightly, "Is the warden not dead?"
"No, no, no, your warden is indeed dead." The messenger of the underworld walked to the half of the warden's body and stopped. "But he did not die tonight, but died a thousand years ago."
With just one sentence, the scene fell silent immediately.
Only Ina reacted and asked, "Could it be that the warden's condition is similar to yours?"
"As expected of you, you are the messenger of Lyra." The Underworld Messenger said to Ina with a smile, "Your minds are indeed very active, much better than those of us lifeless old antiques. Yes, strictly speaking, the Warden can also be regarded as a disciple of my Lord."
The impact of this sentence was even greater than the previous one. Even the guardians at the scene couldn't help but reveal an expression of astonishment.
"Hmm...it seems that the warden didn't tell you anything." The Underworld Messenger glanced at the guardians present, "But this is not surprising. After all, you are all living people, but he is not. The living and the dead have never had anything in common. If it weren't for the Lord's request, I would have told you.
I didn’t want to come here.”
Rocky's mouth twitched slightly.
Is this bastard telling some weird joke?
"The reason why the Land of Contract is independent of the eight major churches is that it is the only one created by multiple gods, not just a single god." The Underworld Messenger said, "So it accommodates the abilities of all gods, Rhine, Holy Sound, Lyra, and my Lord of the Underworld. Your warden is the masterpiece of my Lord of the Underworld. He is a truly, completely dead man who died a thousand years ago. The reason why he can still walk in the world is only because he has sealed his soul in his body like us."
Next, the Underworld Messenger described the characteristics of their church.
The dead cannot walk in the world without a body, and even if they rely on a physical body, they cannot live long, as the detached soul will decay the physical body at a very fast speed. Just like the underworld messenger, when he left the underworld, his body was still a healthy man, but after arriving here, he became a rotten corpse, and soon turned back into completely rotten meat.
The same goes for the warden, except that his body has been specialized by the Lord of the Underworld. The seals on those chains are not for Visas, but for the warden's own corrupt breath.
The identity of the Jailer was not a secret for a thousand years, but with the passage of time and the change of guardians from generation to generation, this identity gradually evolved into "immortality". The current guardians do not know more details, and the Jailer has no intention of explaining. Perhaps it is because time is too long for him and he is tired of explaining.
After hearing this, the shock on everyone's faces gradually faded, and the representatives also understood why the warden's attitude towards the Underworld Messenger was obviously better in the meeting that day.
This is what a real fellow villager is.
"Then can the warden come back to life... or die?" the leading guardian asked immediately.
"Of course." The Underworld Messenger nodded slightly and revealed a rotten smile. "My Lord protects the soul, and the soul cannot be killed."
"Then why is the warden..."
"The body has been hit so hard that the soul has been shattered." The messenger of the Underworld said, "But the warden's body and soul have been specially transformed by my Lord of the Underworld. He will eventually recover slowly, and the lost soul will return to this body."
Seeing that the warden was still "alive", the guardian breathed a sigh of relief, but soon realized something and asked, "How long will this process take?"
