The Last Gentleman

Chapter 335: Cursed Holy Body

Chapter 335 The Cursed Holy Body

 “Holy Body?” This was the first time Yi Chen heard this term.

The archbishop leaned in front of Yi Chen and sniffed gently with his more than 500-year-old nose. He really smelled the smell of the corpse from under the clothes, and the smell was very complex.

“You seem to have a deep connection with the cemetery, or is there some special cemetery creature in you?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Little Grape appeared directly from the clothing room.

 The Archbishop's eyes lit up when he looked at this dark, furry thing with eyes in its mouth.

 “Interesting product, I wonder which cemetery it came from?”

"The Seven Days Cemetery is a creature cultivated by Mr. Wilbert. I worked there before I became a gentleman. Because I was selected by the organization, by chance, I left the cemetery with Little Putao and embarked on the journey of becoming a gentleman. road."

“It doesn’t just smell like the Seven Days Cemetery, it also contains at least two other places.”

Yi Chen immediately gave an explanation about Lenghu Cemetery and the Stone Statue Cemetery.

The Archbishop was also shocked when he learned that Little Grape could actually absorb the essence of the cemetery and transform it into his own attributes.

“Such a valuable little guy, there is no registration in the organization? Although I only work in the Hall of Glory, I still know a lot about corpses.

 After all, after the old guys of my generation die, they all need my help to take care of their bodies.

I have never seen a [corpse] that can absorb and integrate the cemetery. If this is the case, I can indeed let you go to the holy body and take a look.

 The so-called holy body originally refers to the corpse of the founder of the organization. They each created and developed the organization during the most difficult period of mankind, despite all kinds of pressure and risks, regardless of the cost.

 Except for us three old guys who are still barely alive, the rest are dead.

 Later, after the death of some gentlemen who had made great contributions to the organization, as long as their bodies were relatively intact, they would be preserved in the form of holy bodies below. "

“Is there any difference between a holy body and an ordinary corpse?”

“Only a body that has undergone ‘perfect baptism’ can be called a holy body.

 Once baptism is completed, the body will never decay.

Unlike specimens, holy bodies can continuously absorb holy light particles from the Hall of Glory to maintain their fresh state. Even the internal organs are almost the same as in the initial stage of death. "

“The particles absorbed by the holy bodies should all come from you, right?”

“Yes, that’s why I stay here.

Since you can sense the presence of the holy bodies without knowing it and the seal has not been opened, maybe you have some fate, come with me~ Or maybe the group of guys below want to meet young people like you. "

These words made Yi Chen feel a little creepy.

But the little grape on the shoulder heard that he could see the corpses of a group of strong men who would never rot, and his saliva was already flowing out.

 The Archbishop rotated the container in a niche somewhere on the third floor, click!

 A spiral channel that continues downward is formed on the ground.

 The secret passage is opened, and this feeling becomes even more obvious.

Even Yi Chen could clearly feel a bunch of strange 'flesh' below, and could feel their death, but there was warm holy light mixed in between the deaths.

  【Holy Sacrament Room】

Erect crystal cabinets are displayed here, preserving the deceased who have made great contributions to the organization. They all indeed maintain their appearance at the moment of death, and their bodies show no signs of decay.

Yi Chen also saluted in turn to express his respect.

 Little Grape's condition is a bit strange.

 In the past, any corpse here would have been absolutely beautiful to the little grape. If possible, it would dazzle the grapes of each corpse.

But now, Little Grape has only one goal. He is looking for the special and delicious smell of grapes in the air, leading Yi Chen around a large number of crystal cabinets and deeper.

“This is it. We could already smell the grape smell when we entered the secret room...”

When Yi Chen followed Little Putao's guidance and looked over, he was startled by the holy body in front of him, and even took a step back... The reason was simple. The other party's weird eyeballs were actually focusing on him.

Moreover, this was the first time Yi Chen had seen such eyes.

 “What on earth is this…”

At this time, the archbishop also came over, and he suddenly realized when he saw the holy body that Yi Chen and Xiao Tao found.

"Sure enough, the reason why you can sense the holy body in the secret room is because of [Rudolph]? It's no wonder that this product of your cemetery has particularly outstanding eyes, so it is inevitable that it will have the same origin as Rudolph. "

 “Rudolph…”

Yichen re-examined the holy body sealed in the crystal cabinet.

Having long eyebrows and a white beard, as well as a head of prosperous but sloppy white hair, if calculated according to the age of a normal person, this appearance is at least over seventy years old.

However, he was wearing a slender and simple classical suit, which could better support his slender, even a little too long body.

However, these outfits and body shapes are not important.

 The most important thing is the person’s eyes,

 It looks like it has been completely burnt, with a charred black color, and the surface is covered with layers of tiny shell-like scales.

His pupils are in the shape of ‘rings of fire’, and you can even vaguely see flames burning on them, with embers looming between the scales around the pupils.

 What Little Grape smelled was also a rare "barbecuing smell". It had completely lost its dignity as a cemetery creature, and its saliva continued to flow down like a stream.

Yichen soon discovered the character label of the Holy Body on the lower end of the crystal coffin.

≮Rudolf Fischer, the perfecter of the prophetic system, the cursed prophet, the spy of chaos≯

 “Prophet?”

“Yes, Prophet Rudolph is one of the most revered prophets in the history of Zion.

 The prophet system he created is still in use today to ensure that every gentleman who becomes a prophet can be fully used by the organization, can play the greatest role in the field in which he is best, and will never betray the organization.

 He was personally cursed during a prying into the restricted area, and his eyes were stained with the everlasting flames of the curse.

  Until he died and underwent the holy ceremony, the cursed flame that remained in his eyeballs remained unquenched. "

 “Is he really dead?”

Yichen's question made the archbishop look embarrassed.

"Is it possible that this senior prophet only died physically, and his soul is still trapped between his eyes, burned by flames for eternity? Because I was stared at just now, and I always feel that he is still alive."

“You are right, Rudolf is not completely dead, but it is his own choice.

 He did not have any students during his lifetime because no one could learn his "pupil skills".

He doesn’t want his ability to study hard all his life to pass away with the curse. He hopes to use my ‘sacred ceremony’ to keep his eyeballs in their original state until someone can inherit them.

And his own soul may also be partially trapped in it, and he has been suffering from the burning of the curse.

Any outstanding gentleman who goes to the Hall of Glory, as long as he specializes in eyes or is good at using eyes, I will take him down here... It is a pity that no inheritor has been found.

 The reason why I brought you down is also for this reason.

 You can try to touch this holy body and feel the burning curse and specific condition of its eyeballs. If you have this idea, you can consider accepting it. "

 “Hurry up and serve it to me~ I can’t wait!”

There was no corpse in Little Grape's eyes, only two delicious grapes that were being roasted and crackling on the grill.

"Don't worry, little grape. I suggest you observe it carefully first. The curse that can trap a prophet in a burning chamber forever is not trivial. If you touch it recklessly, you may even be infected."

 “Don’t worry, I won’t mess around anymore!”

 With the opening of the coffin.

  Little Grape turned three and a half times in the air and landed firmly on the shoulders of the holy body. When he reached out and touched the burnt eyeball at the same time...

 The ability of the first corpse-[Eye Collector. Gemhar] that has been activated in his body is passively activated.

Snapped!

The two cursed eyeballs detached themselves from their original sockets as if attracted by magnetic force, and floated between Little Grape's left and right palms, being sucked into his body bit by bit.
