Richard turned his head to look at Mr. Eisen who was sitting beside him and asked, "What does Bernard mean?"

​​

Mr. Eisen replied, "According to Wien's law, we were only guilty of stealing and insulting corpses."

​​

"what about now?"

​​

"Now that Bernard is still alive, it means we are innocent."

​​

Richard looked at Mr. Eisen seriously, blinked, and said with emotion:

​​

"Come on, you're right!"

​​

Karen beckoned to the two behind her, and they immediately came over.

​​

Richard couldn't help but reached out and patted Bernard's face, saying, "Is this really still alive?"

​​

"Well, I'm sure I'm still alive."

​​

"Then how did he do it?" Richard asked.

​​

Mr. Eisen said, "Will it be the same as that giant tortoise? It's a way of feigning death by long sleep."

​​

Dorons was already dying in that year, and Philias sealed it to help it sleep forever, giving it a chance to see the crystallization of everyone's hard work in a hundred years.

​​

Karen nodded and said, "It's very possible, because in Darkmoon Island's records of Bernard, the cause of Bernard's death has always been vague."

​​

Before Bernard's death, there was no coup, turmoil, no serious injuries, and no other diseases that plagued him. Therefore, he did not have a specific cause of death.

​​

The official statement of Darkmoon Island is that he died in his study due to overwork for Darkmoon Island. There is a drawing on the desk, which means that the great ancestor Bernard was still sketching when he died. A grand blueprint for the future of Darkmoon Island.

​​

Karen doesn't believe this statement.

​​

Not to mention Bernard's personal morality, he is not a person who devotes himself to Darkmoon Island selflessly in terms of work. How could such a person set up so many "wonders" on Darkmoon Island? Such a rich love story?

​​

Looking at Bernard's half-white and half-black hair and skin, at first Karen took it for granted that Bernard had meticulously maintained the condition of the corpse after his death, so that the corpse was well preserved.

​​

Now it seems that he is ready to "die".

​​

The real purpose of the construction of the Missing Palace may not be to express his admiration for Miss Pall, or, not only that, he may want a form, a form that allows his coffin to be parked on the ground.

​​

Why does he have to be so troublesome?

​​

Because he doesn't trust anyone, no matter how loyal that person is to him, he can't trust him.

​​

After he "dies", can loyalty continue?

​​

Will this person's heir continue to be loyal to him?

​​

Even if it is his own child, the next patriarch appointed by him, he cannot trust him, because he is too aware of the distortion and loss under the power struggle.

​​

The Darkmoon Clan still retains the "Curse Worm" that only targets themselves, which is the best proof.

​​

He didn't sleep for a few days, nor for a few years. Based on the current span, he has been sleeping for a hundred years.

​​

He succeeded because his body has always been placed in the Missing Palace, no matter what the power struggle of the descendants is, he is in a detached position, because he is already a totem, a political correct person belonging to Darkmoon Island.

​​

Is this way of arranging the corpse just to make it easier for you to come out after you wake up?

​​

The layout of Missing Palace immediately appeared in Karen's mind. Because of the towering Pu'er statue and the reason that magma was needed to enter, the main hall of Missing Palace had no roof.

​​

Is it necessary to be irradiated by the dark moon to absorb the power of the dark moon for nourishment? Or is the magma introduced into the Missing Palace also part of his needs?

​​

Karen felt that there should be a reason for this, but now he is not interested in examining it, because he just needs to know that Bernard is still alive in front of him.

​​

This is very good news for me. In the ordinary sense of "awakening", even if Bernard opens his eyes and sits up again, the punishment and revenge he has done will not be able to truly enjoy himself.

​​

Well now, since Bernard is not dead, then he only needs to wake him up, and the real Bernard is in front of him, and his punishment and revenge will fall on the real person.

​​

The most important thing is that after killing him, he can wake up again and kill him again.

​​

This is not double the happiness, this is ten times the happiness.

​​

But now the question is, how to wake him up?

​​

If you say that he didn’t wake up when he carried him out of the coffin, it’s easy to understand, the deep sleep state of suspended animation must be very minimal to the outside world, but Mr. Eisen used the method of threading a needle to arrange so many formations on him before. Awakening him meant that the depth of his suspended animation was truly terrifying.

​​

"Are you trying to wake him up?" Mr. Eisen asked.

​​

"Well, do you have a solution?"

​​

"I do not."

​​

Richard pushed Mr. Eisen and said, "Then what did you just ask, fart?"

​​

Mr. Eisen responded, "Yeah."

​​

Karen said: "We don't have enough time. Darkmoon Island will soon find out that their beloved ancestors are gone, and we can't stay away for too long."

​​

Mr. Eisen said, "The way that giant tortoise woke up."

​​

Karen sighed and said, "But it's too late to find his conch now."

​​

Richard wondered, "What conch?"

​​

Mr. Eisen said: "When I set up the formation on him just now, I had a strange feeling that in his body, there seemed to be a consciousness that was weakly resisting me. I didn't say it before, it was Because I think this is normal, because the amount of spiritual power left in this corpse is very large, and the residual spiritual power in the body has a little repulsion to my move to arrange the formation. It is a normal thing, as if in the A new engraving on a holy vessel is the same.

​​

I don't know if this detail is useful to you..."

​​

"If this..."

​​

Suddenly, Karen seemed to have thought of something, he reached out and pressed his forehead, his eyes fell on Bernard again.

​​

He recalled the reaction after Ophelia drank the cursed worm last time. When Ophelia performed the Dark Moon purification on herself, the cursed worm in her body would immediately counterattack, and the pollution level would become higher.

​​

Philias said that the cursed worm was cultivated step by step using the fleas on Dorons. The purpose of the earliest cultivation was not the cursed worm at all, but it could be used to support a fist industry in Darkmoon Island. New.

​​

The reason why that worm later became a cursed worm was because of the curse that Philias set in his anger after escaping from Snake Island.

​​

The Darkmoon Clan still holds the Cursed Insect, is there any other purpose besides internal fighting?

​​

If it only has a curse effect on the bloodline of the Darkmoon clan, does that mean that the bug itself has other values?

​​

Bernard's sleeping style is very similar to that of Dorons...

​​

Then the original purpose of cultivating that bug was for what, industry, industry...

​​

Philias and his group of believers are kind, and they will not make any harmful things to sell.

​​

So, is it a bug that can make dying people fall asleep? Only in this way can it be called an industry, which will be needed by many people in the world.

​​

Bernard,

​​

Swallow that worm!

​​

It's not a cursed bug, it's the kind of bug that was first successfully cultivated. This was originally a fist product that Philias and the others helped Darkmoon Island cultivate.

​​

The Darkmoon Clan knew its value, so they did not exterminate this bug, and they still keep it on hand.

​​

This bug is harmless to others. No, not only is it harmless, it may still be useful. Combined with other auxiliary methods and the effect of the bug, it can make people sleep forever; but the Darkmoon Clan cannot To do this industry, once the bug is continued to be cultivated and sold, it is equivalent to selling the rope that can hang you.

​​

Forces hostile to Darkmoon Island only need to spend some coupons to buy this kind of bug from Darkmoon Island, and then import it into Darkmoon Island, it will be a disaster for the Darkmoon family.

​​

Karen felt that her guess should be correct.

​​

Philias is really a genius.

​​

He has a charismatic personality, he has a group of staunch supporters, he is gentle and kind, alas... such a person, no, such a group of people, but because of Bernard, he fell into that kind of end.

​​

It's a pity, he could really become a legend.

​​

In Cullen's mind, Philias was almost a replica of himself more than a hundred years ago. As soon as the sense of substitution entered, the hatred for Bernard instantly rose to a new level.

​​

Ah…

​​

Fortunately, I learned about Philias only after realizing it. If I had known earlier, I would probably have taken the initiative to lead the captain to do things, and showed a higher subjective initiative than the captain.

​​

However, now that the specific problem has been discovered, the solution to the problem has come.

​​

Karen raised her palm. The wound she fed Ophelia blood last time only had a shallow scar after being treated with magic.

​​

"Memphis, Richard, I'm going to do something to wake him up next. It involves a secret of mine. It's not convenient for you to see. You two avoid it for now."

​​

Richard smiled and said, "Haha, you actually said it so openly."

​​

"OK."

​​

Mr. Eisen put a ball of silk thread in front of Karen, which is the silk thread that controls a series of formations. If you want to activate the one, just pull and break the thread. Karen is watching himself arranging the formation. Mr. Eisen, believing that Karen knew which wire went to which, and could not make a mistake, he turned and walked out after putting down his things.

​​

"Hey, wait for me!"

​​

Richard followed Mr. Eisen outside the cave. He asked Mr. Eisen curiously, "Hey, guess what secret is Karen going to use?"

​​

"There are many secrets about him."

​​

"Of course I know that."

​​

"It will be good for you to take good care of your relationship with him in the future."

​​

"Although your condescending gesture of speaking to me makes me a little uncomfortable, my heart is still warm."

​​

"Ha ha."

​​

Richard reached out and touched the back of Mr. Eisen's head and said, "Then you have to be good and take good care of your relationship with my good brother Karen, remember?"

​​

Mr. Eisen: "Okay, I remember."

​​

"Ah~" Richard yawned, "I originally thought that watching the stage play in the evening was exciting enough, but I didn't expect the late-night experience to be even more unforgettable. I still feel a little unreal. He even stole the body of his ancestor."

​​

"Sometimes, you don't need to know why you are doing it, you just need to follow the instructions and do it well."

​​

"Of course I know this. I don't need you to teach me. I'm willing to listen to Karen." After speaking, Richard put his arm around Mr. Eisen's shoulder and shook it vigorously, "I believe it won't take long for Karen to have Qualified to be independent and pull a Whip of Order team. In the future, when the two of us are in the team, we will follow Karen together."

​​

"OK."

​​

"Karen is the eldest brother, I came first, then I'm your second brother, okay? We don't need to talk about age, it's too vulgar."

​​

"OK."

​​

"Call your brother to come and listen."

​​

"Don't shout."

​​

"Hehe, looking at you like this, you're saving face, let's do it, let's do it, I know you have the ability, I was just joking, so let's be my second brother, how about I call you big brother?"

​​

"Don't shout."

​​

"Shy?"

​​

"no."

​​

"Brother! Did you hear me!"

​​

Mr. Eisen nodded, turned to look at Richard,

​​

road:

​​

"Well, I heard it."

​​

Inside the cave.

​​

Karen swiped his palm across the sword of Arius, making a slit, and blood began to flow.

​​

Immediately, Karen grabbed Bernard's cheek with the other hand and pinched it hard, causing his mouth to pout.

​​

Blood flowed down the pouting mouth.

​​

After a while, Karen withdrew her hand.

​​

Next, it depends on Bernard's reaction.

​​

The reaction came quickly. Before Karen could apply a simple healing technique to the wound on her palm, a white bug crawled out of Bernard's mouth. Karen remembered Ophelia's last mistake. The cursed bug is black, and the white bug is much bigger than the black one, like a silkworm baby.

​​

This should be an alternative symbiosis, which is different from the symbiosis between myself and Pu'er, they are only symbiosis on the physical level.

​​

This worm needs a nest, and the person who takes it is equivalent to lending his body to it, which is equivalent to living in an apartment. The worm lives here and needs to undertake cleaning and maintenance work to pay the rent.

​​

After the white bug crawled out, her body twitched for a while, and in a split second, Karen realized that it was focusing on herself.

​​

It flew up, and after leaving the human body, it seemed to be eager to find a new place to live.

​​

Its gaze is also Karen's **** palm.

​​

Karen didn't stop it and let it fly into her palm.

​​

However, the white bug did not burrow into the wound like the black bug last time, but lay on Karen's palm and spit out strands of white silk, covering Karen's wound.

​​

The wound immediately itched, which was a sign of healing.

​​

Immediately afterwards, the white worm flew back to the side of the coffin and lay down, looking a little sluggish.

​​

Looking at the wound that was "bandaged", Karen showed a smile at the corner of her mouth. Is this the nature of the cursed bug?

​​

Seeing a wound on his body, he couldn't hold it any longer, just like seeing the door of his neighbor's house broken, he went up to repair it on his own initiative, for no other purpose, it was purely because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

​​

Karen reached out to hold it up and put it in front of her.

​​

This bug has two eyes on its head, and it seems to be watching Karen.

​​

Karen nodded lightly on its head with her index finger.

​​

The white worm fell down and wriggled a few times in Karen's palm, as if asking for Karen's opinion, asking if it could enter Karen's body.

​​

But if you entered my body, you would have to die immediately.

​​

"Richard!"

​​

Karen shouted to the hole.

​​

"I'm coming!"

​​

Richard trotted in immediately. He originally thought that Bernard was awakened by Cullen. After he came in, he first looked at the situation in the coffin. Seeing that Bernard was still lying there, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he didn't wake up.

​​

"Open your hands."

​​

"Um?"

​​

Richard opened his hand and saw Karen put a white bug in his palm.

​​

"This is?"

​​

"Good thing, you take it out and ask you... Ask Memphis and let him confirm again. If there are no other problems, I suggest you swallow it, remember, don't chew it."

​​

"Hey, it's pretty cute, where did it come from?" Richard asked.

​​

"Miss Ophelia gave it to me. I was sleeping, but now I wake up. If this bug is in your body, your injury will recover much faster."

​​

"Really, what Miss Ophelia gave you, you just gave it to me?"

​​

"We are good brothers."

​​

"Hmm, yes."

​​

"Remember, let Memphis check it first to see if your constitution is suitable for swallowing it, and let him see if there are any other precautions."

​​

"Okay, okay, got it, what else is there?"

​​

"No, you go out. Next, don't come in without my call."

​​

"Well, I see."

​​

Richard went out with the worm in his hand.

​​

"Richard."

​​

"Huh? What else is there?"

​​

"Before swallowing, remember to wash it so it's cleaner."

​​

"I think this little thing is very clean."

​​

"We have to pay attention to hygiene."

​​

"understood."

​​

Cullen believed that the white bug was not harmful, not only because the white bug had just bandaged its own wound and seemed very polite, but also believed that Mr. Philias would not deliberately cultivate things that were harmful to people.

​​

This is also considered, let's look at insects by character.

​​

In addition, this worm has lived in Bernard's body for a hundred years. It has grown and matured a lot. It is indeed an excellent thing. It's a pity that I can't use it myself. I brought it home to Alfred and they were worried about it. What will happen if the insects leave the human body for too long, the eyes are already a little wilted before.

​​

Therefore, giving Richard a favor is the most suitable, which is equivalent to giving Mr. Eisen one favor, and one gift for two favors, which is very cost-effective.

​​

After watching Richard walk out of the cave,

​​

Karen turned around,

​​

Reaching out his hand and knocking on the side of the coffin,

​​

road:

​​

"Are you going to continue pretending to sleep?"

​​

Bernard,

​​

Open your eyes!
