"After all, the situation is different. If you hadn't gone back then, you might have ended up like me."
Hearing this, Zhusha narrowed her eyes and revealed a playful smile.
"Can I take it that you're trying to trick me with your words?"
"You can interpret it however you want. Speaking of which, isn't it normal for me to have feelings for such a beautiful girl like you?"
"It is indeed normal."
His words were too direct, making her feel embarrassed. Moreover, the two of them were indeed too close. If it was just a joke, then so be it, but if it was for real, then she wouldn't be able to take it.
"But this little girl isn't in the mood to talk about this with you. Let's look at something."
Zhusha waved her hand in the air, and the scattered light suddenly gathered on the coffin in front of them.
This coffin was made of wood, but it was impossible to tell what kind of wood it was. The entire coffin was a deep brown, as if it was made of loess. The style was a normal western style, which was often seen in churches, but this coffin wasn't the main point.
It was the insignia engraved in the center of the diagonal line of the coffin.
It was a tree that grew in an extremely complicated manner.
In this world, there were not many people who could use this insignia, and the person in the coffin could only be one of two people. Either it was a member of the Hufflepuff Clan, or it was someone who had been sealed by a predecessor of the Hufflepuff Clan.
Perhaps it wasn't a person.
But regardless, when Zhusha first saw this insignia, she thought of Jon. Thus, this meeting, which was thousands of miles away, and the concealment storm that Jon had painstakingly created.
"If not for the fact that this coffin can't be moved by magic, it wouldn't have been so troublesome. This boat ride was exhausting."
"The Crested Ibis is a divine bird that can control light and water. In terms of walking on the sea, it is much better than me. Wherever you go, the sea is always calm. Do you really think that I don't know anything about it?
Besides, you didn't take long this time, how tired can you be? "
"It's too difficult to hear comforting words from someone like you. Let's get down to business."
Zhusha really didn't know what to say about Jon's actions.
"Who do you think is inside?"
"The style of this coffin should be based on the characteristics of that era. It should be around a thousand years ago. At that time, the war between the Wizard and the Holy See was not particularly intense. It was far from the point where it would only end in death.
According to the details of my family crest, it should have happened not long after Ancestor Helga passed away.
After all, the family had been passed down from generation to generation. Even the bloodline was gone. It was even rarer to find someone who could draw the family crest.
But at that time … how could such a thing happen?
I remember Ancestor Helga once told me that most of the Hufflepuff family members were on the battlefield at that time, so there shouldn't be any of them wandering to China. "
"Then you're underestimating Wizard. I've been in the family's library for some time now, and I've found a lot of ancient records. In the past, the East and the West weren't divided to this extent, and there were still many connections. Don't you know about the Silk Road? Besides, the Wizard can travel much faster than ordinary people. "
"That's not unreasonable. But if the person in the coffin is an ancestor of my family, then who drew the family crest?"
"You mean the person in the coffin was sealed?"
"It's possible. After all, the war back then was more intense. Many of the Wizard's evil experiments created many dangerous creatures. Some of the creatures mutated in the magic experiments.
There were also some monsters like vampires that didn't age and die.
At that time, the Holy See used the Holy Light of Purification to clean up some of them, but there were still some that weren't dealt with. Naturally, the Wizard dealt with them.
Anyway, I can't really explain the situation back then. It's quite complicated. "
"If that's the case, do you still plan to deal with him here?"
"Of course, why should I hide?"
Jon said, "My current strength is almost the same as my ancestor's. The ancestor who sealed this guy definitely wasn't as strong as I am now.
Since that ancestor could seal him, I can naturally deal with him too.
Besides, even if I can't do it, there's still someone up there, right? "
"I forgot." Zhusha's eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. "But will that person up there help because of something like this?"
"Do you think he's very busy? Although I don't know why he hasn't been active recently, he's definitely more relaxed than we think. Besides, he's in charge of this world. His body is divided into thousands of parts, so he's more dangerous than us. "
That made sense.
Zhu Sha glanced at Chown discreetly. A faint green light was gradually emerging from the black pupils of the latter's face.
The Mystic Bird's bloodline was gradually at a disadvantage.
The World Tree began to grow.
A powerful bloodline couldn't mobilize too much power in the real world. But just like how the Serpent Cavities could open the secret chamber, Jon could naturally use the resonance between the World Trees to open the seal.
In fact, this wasn't rare. In the Holy See, such scenes often happened. Things that the predecessors couldn't deal with were sealed and left to the next generation who could deal with them. It was a very common thing.
But Zhusha still had some doubts.
Because she didn't understand why Jon insisted that she bring the coffin here when he saw it. Since this thing was a seal, it should be firmly sealed. As long as the thing inside didn't come out to cause trouble, why would he take the initiative to open it and clean it up?
Jon wasn't the kind of person who would do useless things. If he was determined to open this thing, it must mean that the thing inside was valuable to him.
But what exactly was that value …
Jon wouldn't say, so she didn't ask.
Anyway, she would find out soon.
As if sensing the power of the World Tree, the roots of the World Tree on the coffin began to slowly grow. The red paint used to seal the coffin was ejected and fell to the ground as the roots grew and disappeared. At the same time, Derrick, Sirius, and Platinum, who was hiding in the shadows, had already hidden further away.
They weren't Jon and Zhusha. They weren't that powerful. This time, they only appeared here because the two people inside insisted on bringing them here.
But then.
They heard it.
It was as if a great existence that did not exist in this world had suddenly made its voice in the human world. It was as if the voice was heard in the largest aquarium. This kind of voice should not have appeared here, but belonged in the deep sea. It was a tune sung by those free and unrestrained lives.
More importantly, even though they were so far away, they could still feel the sadness and desolation. When they heard the voice, they felt a surge of boundless loneliness.
And fear of the darkness around them.
Even if they weren't in the deep sea.
