Chapter 649 - Church of the Deceased
“Please choose your destination.”
Greya had heard the question for the third time. She had not said anything yet because she was too surprised to take in the situation she was in.
This time, she finally decided to say something. “Witch’s Town.”
“Cat Bus will depart shortly. Please hang on tight. Next stop, Witch’s Town!”
As soon as it finished talking, the Cat Bus began bolting through woods, mountain ranges, and waters, like running on plain ground. Greya was once again surprised greatly when she felt no bumping at all. It was as if the creature-vehicle’s paw pads perfectly dampened all turbulence.
While enjoying the chilly night wind that went through the bus’ coverless windows, Greya admired the changing views outside on her soft fur seat.
She lifted her head and looked at the small map affixed above her seat, which had the names of different places on it. She said “Witch’s Town” earlier because this was the only name seemingly related to wizards. There were other stops called “The Bathhouse”, “Tree Hotel”, “Mermaid Sea”, “Monument Valley”, and so on. They did not sound so interesting compared to Witch’s Town.
“Angor used this thing as a means of transportation here? Weird, but pretty fun!” Greya stretched her body and moaned. “I just solved an obstacle for my new spell. I deserve some relaxation.”
He considered and added some alchemy gold gilding to the church.
As the final product came out under his spell, he realized that the pale hue of the bones went rather well with all the shining gold.
It might not be the work of a master, but it could be considered an art nevertheless.
“Nice. I’ll call you ‘Church of the Deceased’.”
He thought about using “Bone Church” earlier, but this sounded too simple.
The church was built upon a round-shaped foundation. The building itself was not complete yet. Angor left some space for placing extension runes so that it might contain more souls. He could not do it yet since he had not studied how to draw the rune.
He left his “trademark” along with a “lifeless rune” on the foundation.
This rune was usually used by wizards to preserve fresh organs because the negative energy it gave out could prevent decomposition.
At the same time, such energy could nurture souls as well.
The “skull of the departed” alone would work well for protecting souls. When added with the lifeless rune, the church would become a true safe house for someone’s soul.
As long as the energy source, which was an energy crystal, was renewed in time, the Church of the Deceased would work consistently, unlike the Soul Floret, which would wither sooner or later.
To test the item’s actual effect, Angor took out the Soul Floret that contained Freud and placed it into the small church.
