In the back garden of Windsor Castle, the aged Duke of Brydon was panting and swinging the shovel in his hand, seeing that the red and blue moons were about to converge in the middle of the sky in half an hour at most, but his work progress was not very optimistic.

By this time, he had already found the location of the oracle in the magic teleportation box, and after a little half a day's efforts, he had dug a large pit two meters square and more than one meter deep, but he didn't seem to find anything special.

"Am I in the wrong place?" Brydon took out the edict again and checked it again, and saw that there was nothing wrong. Windsor Castle has been virtually uninhabited since it was built, so the structure is exactly as it was originally designed.

Since the location is not wrong, there is only one possibility, that is, the digging is not deep enough. At this time, Brydon deeply regretted that he had devoted too much experience to political struggles, so that he had only cultivated to the fourth level and wasted his martial arts, and when he needed to use it now, he found that he had long since lost his physical strength.

Among the families of the empire's martial arts heirlooms, it is not uncommon for Bryden to have this situation, but for other families, there are many heirs, and there are always one or two who will inherit the family's martial arts and pass them on. However, Brydon is the only son of the family, and his talent is average, so after he abandoned martial arts, he can only pin the hope of inheriting the family martial arts on his descendants.

"Find that thing and dig it up before midnight anyway!" After a few gasps, Brydon swung his shovel again. He knew that he had to grasp the last hope of the O'Bright family and complete the task given by Rey III perfectly.

After the disappearance of Raphael and Stowe, although Rey III remembered the old relationship and allowed Bardo to inherit the O'Brid family, Brydon knew in his heart that His Majesty the Emperor was not happy with Bardo. At this time, it seems that everything is fine, but at any time there may be an excuse to uproot the O'Bright family.

It seems that the heavens can't bear to let the O'Bride family, the meritorious family of the empire, go to the point of no return, and this time Brydon didn't dig for long, and he felt a shock in his hand.

The sound of "ding" sent a wave of ecstasy to Brydon's heart, and he tossed the shovel aside, leaning down to gently brush away the dirt from the bottom of the pit, revealing what was hidden underneath: a sarcophagus carved from white jade.

The whole sarcophagus is crystal clear, and a few brushstrokes on it carve a simple and expressive picture: a man prays to the sky with both hands, and the sky is represented by a ruby and a sapphire red and blue double moons.

Brydon didn't bother to look closely at the picture on the sarcophagus, it was not too midnight to dig out the sarcophagus completely, so he had to retreat and follow the instructions of the edict, put the magic teleportation box in the middle of the sarcophagus, retreat to the side, and quietly wait for midnight to come.

......

"Old, teacher, these figures are difficult, are they ......" Alfie looked at the shadows around him in horror and stammered.

"That's right, these are the same energy suppliers to the machine-made creatures that were hanged after the cataclysm. The girl confirmed Alfie's guess.

"Teacher, are you a necromancer?" Alfie asked creepy. This speculation is too terrifying, but considering that the girl needs to use his soul power, as well as the almost ghostly feeling just now, it is not impossible.

"Where do you think you're going, even though the Holy See branch is not as powerful as it used to be, but with the Council of Light still there, do you think they'll tolerate a necromancer swaggering right under their noses?" the girl asked amusefully.

"But what do you think of the corpses of these energy suppliers? As far as I know, necromancy can make these skeletons act like this. Alfie said unconvinced, pointing to the figures around her. These figures have already appeared in the thick fog, and they are clearly skeletons in action, and the nooses around the necks of these skeletons have not even been removed.

"See, are these real skeletons?" the girl hated to knock Alfie on the head, this guy still couldn't get rid of his rough habits.

"Didn't you just say that the corpses of those energy suppliers, how could they not be decomposing skeletons?" Alfie said this, his tongue involuntarily knotted, and he noticed that there was a faint metallic luster on the bodies of these "skeletons", as if these skeletons were metal products.

"See clearly?" Alfie's expression undoubtedly betrayed him, and the girl asked triumphantly.

"W-are these skeletons metal-proof, aren't those energy providers real people but mechanical creatures?" Alfie thought the answer was a bit too bizarre, didn't it mean that Augusta had mastered the technology to make androids, which was unbelievable in this world of swords and sorcery.

What made Alfie feel most exaggerated was that these energy suppliers had lived in the imperial capital for a long time, and no one had found any flaws, even after they were "hanged". Alfie couldn't even imagine the presence of androids around him.

"It's not as exaggerated as you might think. Alfie's expression betrayed his thoughts again, and the girl explained with a little amusement: "You see, the skeletons of these energy suppliers are metal products, and Augusta only needs to give them a little mechanical divine power, so that they can act like normal people, and then cover them with a layer of skin and give them a little illusion, under the cover of mechanical divine power, ordinary people will not find flaws at all." ”

"Human skin!" Alfie felt like throwing up.

"Rest assured, it's just a leather product. The girl flipped through the fold and ripped off a piece of skin from a nearby skeleton that had not yet fully decayed, and handed it to Alfie.

Alfie threw up at the time, he really couldn't accept this heavy taste.

"See, it's just some kind of monster skin tanning. The girl flipped the piece of skin over so that Alfie could see that it was depicted with some unknown magic circle.

"See these magic arrays? These magic arrays can make the skin adhere to the metal bones like normal human flesh and blood, and they also have a powerful illusion effect, enough to confuse the people below the Sanctuary. The girl's tone involuntarily carried a hint of admiration.

"What should I do if I am found out by the people above the Sanctuary?" After hearing that it was a monster skin, Alfie felt a lot better.

"Boy, do you think that the powerhouses of the Sanctuary will go to the city to run around if they have nothing to do? Who would pay attention to an inconspicuous energy supplier? Besides, these energy suppliers have always lived in seclusion, and the business in the store is taken care of by special personnel, so naturally the chance of being discovered is even lower. The girl explained.

"It's no wonder that after the cataclysm, the Empire simply hanged these energy suppliers and turned a blind eye to their men...... Wait, wouldn't the people of the Empire already know the truth?" Alfie suddenly thought of a possibility.
