Chapter 233 Beavis Cemetery
Zhuyou Square——
Wei Miao fully felt the hospitality of the locals. He could get some common sense about Sabo Town by just grabbing a pedestrian.
Zhuyou Square is the center of Sabo Town. With it as the dividing line, the landmark building on the left is the Town Hall, and the landmark building on the right is the Zhuyou Church. The two are facing each other, and the height difference is similar.
The Town Hall is the administrative center of Sabo Town. It is gray-brown in color. There is a square spire in the center of the top, and small towers on both sides. The gray-black trapezoidal roof adds a bit of solemnity.
There are strange stone statues on the top of the six square columns on the front, and there are complex and gorgeous reliefs on the surface of the wall. Under the Gothic pointed arch, there are nobles or administrative personnel in neat clothes coming and going.
Zhuyou Church, whose full name is the Holy Cathedral of Virginia, is white and gold in color, and the round dome is as bright as the sun above the clouds. The outline of the four corners of the building uses a lot of R-angle design, and the arc lines are combined into exquisite patterns.
In the center of the Blessing Square stands the statue of the Blessing Angel, whose anthropomorphic form is female.
The pure white goddess statue is located on the pedestal in the center of the Saint's Fountain. It is about 20 meters high, wearing a feather crown, with a beautiful face and a kind look. A pair of wings behind her half wrap her body, her head is slightly lowered, and her eyes are half closed.
She holds an hourglass-shaped object in both hands, with openings at both ends, like two round-bottomed cups spliced together, with a fine regular pentagram pattern engraved at the joint.
The openings at the upper and lower ends are different. The upper edge of the cup is decorated with a sun pattern, while the lower edge of the cup is decorated with a moon pattern.
This object is called the "Blessing Holy Grail", which is the symbol of the Blessing Angel and is also her holy vessel in legend.
Her name is engraved on the pedestal: "Blessing Angel Virginia - Guardian of Adversity; Song of Salvation; Cup of Inverted Mead and Bitter Medicine!"
It is said that there are mechanisms hidden in the hands of the statue. The upper part of the Holy Grail will accumulate rain and dew. When the accumulated amount reaches a certain level, the Holy Grail will turn over and pour out the water in the cup.
This cycle repeats to ensure that the Holy Grail will never overflow, which also corresponds to the mystery of the Blessing Angel.
His priests are proficient in various blessing magics, including combat amplification and daily prayers. They also have a deep understanding of curses and are deeply loved by the people of Sabo Town.
Wei Miao stood in front of the statue, mixed in the crowd of worshippers, and listened to a knowledgeable stranger telling his companions what he had heard.
With the image of the Blessing Angel in mind, Wei Miao then walked towards the Blessing Church.
The church has always been open to thousands of people. They hope that more people will be interested in the beliefs of the Blessing Sect and develop a desire to understand so as to expand the number of believers.
However, when she was only ten steps away from the church, the system popped up a warning.
[Hint: Virginia Holy Cathedral is a dangerous area for soul hunters. There is a certain chance that the identity will be discovered by the blessing priests and forcibly expelled! ]
Wei Miao turned her head and went in the opposite direction.
She has always listened to advice and never been stubborn. Besides, she had no reason to enter the church.
From this tip, it can be seen that the relationship between the Blessing Sect and the soul hunters is not good. After all, they are the helpers of the travelers.
But there is another place near the Blessing Church. It has a certain connection with the church, but it is a public area with loose guards.
That is the Beavis Cemetery located behind the church.
It is also open to the public, so that family members can worship the deceased at any time. This is the opening time.
But there seems to be other reasons. Due to time considerations, the enthusiastic crowd was vague and only said that the person buried here was a little special.
Cemeteries generally have gravekeepers who are responsible for protecting the safety of the graves and cleaning the cemetery environment.
The gravekeeper of Beavis Cemetery came from the church and was a member of the lower class of the church. Some clergymen who feel that they have no room for advancement will be assigned to this position. Their strength can be imagined.
Not everyone can be called a "priest".
Although Wei Miao's [Erudito] did not connect with angels and demons, the system similar to the present world means that they can be referenced.
Priest means "perfection". Only those chosen by their gods can serve as priests, and they have the responsibility to accept friends of their gods and exclude unbelievers.
Of course, priests cannot come to guard the tomb, so Wei Miao can enter the cemetery without any worries.
Special residents involve the dead and souls. The most relevant one in Sabo Town is the church cemetery. There is also a cemetery on the outskirts of Sabo Town, which is also the place where the residents of the town rest after death, but the dungeon restricts players from leaving the town.
Compared with the carnival atmosphere and dense flow of people in other areas of Sabo Town, Beavis Cemetery is cold and solemn.
Those who come here are not mourners, but tourists. They have nothing in their hands and walk all the way without stopping.
At first glance, there was no one who was paying tribute, and the tombstones were densely packed.
On the green grass, the blue-gray tombstones were neatly arranged like soldiers in a line, and even the style of the tombstones was exactly the same, with a simple carving of the shape of the Holy Grail on the top.
The rectangular stone fence in front of the tombstones was planted with gorgeous and fragrant flowers.
The overall look had a strange sense of unity.
Wei Miao had reason to guess that they were all buried at the same time, and the same group of people helped to bury them.
In other words, a major event had occurred in the history of the town of Sabo, resulting in the deaths of many people.
Wei Miao walked past the rows of tombstones, paying attention to the inscriptions.
"Hazel Peeps; November 1, 3066 Noah's calendar."
"Les Tobias; November 1, 3066 Noah."
"McGee Maxwell; February 19, 3022 Noah - November 1, 3066 Noah; Epitaph: Go and wait for the end, for you will rest. At the end of the day, you will rise and enjoy your blessing."
"Father: Martin Hicks, Mother: Eva Taylor, Son: Jeff Hicks; November 1, 3066 Noah."
"..."
Generally speaking, the inscription consists of the name of the tomb owner, the date of birth and death, and the epitaph.
However, most of the tombstones here only have the name of the tomb owner and the date of death, and very few have epitaphs. Many are family tombs, that is, three or four people lie in one tomb. Some tombstones are blank, without even the name of the tomb owner.
Combined with their common date of death "November 1, 3066 Noah", family burials do not seem surprising.
November 1st is All Saints’ Day.
This strange cemetery must have some connection with the festival.
After walking for a while, Wei Miao unexpectedly found an interesting name on a tombstone.
“Leslie Will; November 1st, 3066 Noah’s calendar; Epitaph: See, I will definitely become the greatest bard in Shalan Green!”
