“Indeed. An ancient event of some sort had been painted onto it. Even after studying the stone tablet
for quite some time, however, Xyion was only able to tell that it had something to do with a burial
scene. He wasn’t able to understand the wording on the table at all, and after many years passed, he
eventually lost interest in it. As a result, the tablet is now kept as an ancient art piece within my private
room!” exined Master Ghost.
Another mural…?
Whenever Gerald heard about murals now, it always prompted his mind to recall what he had seen
inside the ancient tomb.
As one would expect, ancient murals were usually filled with historic tales that reflected the people of
the time’s social, political, economic, literary, artistic, and technological capabilities. Such murals could
end up being vastly different ording to the artists’ beliefs, customs, and also their aesthetic
concepts.
These murals—that were usually drawn as long as rivers—were viewed extremely highly due to all the
vivid and informative ancient scenes that the people of old drew with their descendants in mind. The
fact that their heartfelt stories were told in such a different way only served to make the murals even
more valuable.
Gerald had already seen how detailed these murals could get back when he was in the ancient tomb of
the general god. He could still clearly remember all the drawings on the tomb that described things
from the day the people had found the general god up till the day he was buried.
“Speaking of which, Iter asked one of my old friends toe over and have a look at the tablet.
From what he could tell, the burial method depicted on it was some sort of ocean burial!” added Ghost.
“Ocean burial?”
Upon hearing that, Gerald had a feeling that it could be rted to the king of the ocean’s tomb. Due to
that, he added, “Could I have a look at it?”
“If it’s piqued your interest, then by all means!” replied Master Ghost as he gestured for Gerald to follow
him.
Following that, Master Ghost led Gerald to a small hill that was located behind the church’s backyard.
On it,y what seemed to be a private room where Master Ghost usually meditated in.
The private room itself was about five meters tall and three meters wide. Its walls were made of marble
and the room was mostly dark and empty save for a table in the middle with a dimly-lit oilmp on it,
the sole source of light within the private room.
However, upon closer inspection, six mossy and ancient-looking stone tablets could be seen arranged
neatly within the room as well. Those were definitely the murals Master Ghost had been talking about.
Lifting themp—that the master had offered to him—once Gerald stood right before the murals, he
instantly began investigating them.
It wasn’t long before he noticed that the wording used on these tablets were simr to the ones he had
seen back in the ancient tomb. Putting two and two together, he deduced that these murals were as old
as the tomb itself.
After looking at the first mural for a while, Gerald suddenly froze. Shockingly, one of the scenes on the
tablet seemed to detail what seemed to be thedy in white’s burial!
Not wanting to miss out on any key details, Gerald kept his eyes peeled as he continued trying to
decipher the tablet.
From what he could understand, the story—that the mural was trying to tell—began by showing that
Halimark City used to only be a tiny fishing vige that was inhabited by rather isted fishermen.
Reading on, it was shown that a group of people—led by an old man dressed in long robes—one day
appeared at the vige while carrying a huge coffin.
Gerald was all too familiar now with the robed old man. That old man was undoubtedly the same old
beggar he had first seen on the ancient tomb’s murals!
To think that Gerald would see him even here!
Shaking the thought off, Gerald then continued reading on. Based on what he could see, Gerald
guessed that the old beggar had carried thedy in white’s coffin all the way here after letting her and
the general god bid each other farewell.
By this point, Gerald waspletely certain that the one in the coffin was thedy in white. So his
hunch was correct. She truly had been brought here…
Returning to the story of the fishermen, when they came back after fishing on that day, they were
surprised to see the old man and his men carrying a coffin.
When the vige’s patriarch stepped forward to ask who was in the coffin, the old beggar had
apparently told them that it contained the body of a goddess who had fallen from the sky!
Hearing that, the vigers immediately bowed to the coffin. Following that, the patriarch seemed to ask
why she had been moved here.
Seeing the beggar hand the patriarch quite a bit of gold, Gerald felt that it was safe to assume that the
beggar simply replied that she was to be buried here. The next image suggested that the patriarch was
also told to get his men to build an underwater tomb in the nearby ocean.
Due to the fact that the coffin contained a goddess and they were given a lot of gold, the patriarch
simply obeyed. Everyone in the vige was involved in the construction of the tomb, and all of them
seemed to be equally determined to get the job done.
Within a short amount of time, the patriarch managed to gather around eight thousand people—both
young and old—to sail out to sea and begin building a tomb for the goddess.
Surprisingly, the structure wasn’t called the king of the ocean’s pce. Rather, it was named the pce
of the goddess.
Under the old beggar’smand, the pce waspleted within half a year. On the mural, everyone
involved appeared to be impressed by their grand underwater project. Soon enough, thedy in white’s
burial would take ce.
