Olga and Padin left the caravan and went to a place a little further away to prepare a burial place for Tuis' remains.
Toursse's identity was special. Neither Lulunaka nor they planned to bury him in a hurry.
Toursse was a man from over 100 years ago. He had not truly "died" until today.
This was a person who had a special experience and a long process of death. Moreover, he was someone who had experienced a period of real history. He was worthy of such treatment.
The two were not worried about their temporary departure. The safety of the caravan, especially the safety of the two kids, was not something they needed to worry about.
Regardless of whether it was safe in such an environment, Lulunaka's safety was guaranteed most of the time. The premise was that Lulunaka would not bring danger to herself because of her mood.
Not to mention the unfathomable Lurunaka, just the alchemy dog beside her, Ward, could guarantee the safety of the entire convoy.
At this time, Ward looked like he had fallen asleep. He had been lying beside Lurunaka, as if nothing could wake him up no matter what happened.
In the middle of the night, only it had closed its eyes. It was the only existence that didn't need to rest.
After Olga and Padding left, only the remains of Lulunaka, Toursse, and Julius and Romuona were left by the bonfire.
Lulunaka looked at the tired Julius and Romuona and waved at them.
Seeing Lulunaka waving at them, the two exchanged glances. Then, they got up and sat down beside Lulunaka's bonfire.
They sat in Olga and Padding's seats. Now, there were four people sitting together. No, it was three people and a skeleton. The skeleton could no longer make any sound or move.
Julius and Romuona came because of Lulunaka's invitation.
They had witnessed the entire process of Tuis' blue soul leaving the skeleton and leaving this place.
They had never seen such a magical experience before. Although they were scared, they were also curious.
For them, the skeleton could no longer move, so they were less scared. At the same time, they felt a little disappointed.
The sight of the skeleton sitting with Lurunaka and the others without any danger, and talking rather happily, was one of the most marvellous sights that Julius and Romuiona had ever seen, the three living and the dead sitting together, chatting by the fire, was to Julius and Romuiona the most marvellous sight they had ever seen.
After Julius sat down, he looked at the skeleton that had its head lowered and was hugging an old lantern.
"Will he … move again?" he asked.
Lulunaka smiled when she heard Julius's question. "If Mr. Toursse can move again, it will be troublesome … But don't worry. You saw the soul leave just now, right?
What's left here is purely dead, it won't move again. "Speaking of this, Lurunaka's face had a hint of teasing." Are you afraid?
You want to be a hero, but you're scared out of your wits when facing a skeleton? "
"I'm not scared!"
Julius retorted when he heard Lulunaka's words. He straightened his back and said, "I'm just … just a little worried about a moving skeleton in the middle of the night."
"I'm just worried." Lulunaka smiled. She did not mind Julius's fake toughness.
For a young man who had not seen much of the world and could only move around in the southern forest outside the village, it was good enough that he had the courage to sit with a moving skeleton.
After all, there weren't many people who had the guts and the opportunity to sit down with a dead soul — now a dead thing — in the same room as them.
The living would remember the dead, but if the dead stood up and wanted to stay with the living, it would not be a good thing.
Lulunaka looked at Romuona. "But it's hard for you to stay awake until now … If children don't get enough sleep, they won't grow well."
"Who can sleep with a moving skeleton next to them?" Julius replied.
He glanced at the skeleton that would no longer move, and then looked at the small iron pot beside Lurunaka. "By the way, can the dead also eat?"
"Of course, the dead eat."
Lulunaka said. "Ghouls will eat the fresh meat of the living and the rotten meat of the dead. Nocturnal Blood Monsters will drink blood, especially the blood of virgins."
Lulunaka glanced at Romuona again when she mentioned the word 'virgins'. It was a malicious look. Romuona shuddered and hugged her knees tighter.
Lurunaka continued, "There are other undead creatures. Although they eat all kinds of strange foods, they basically feed on the living. For skeletons like this, although they don't have the appetite to eat flesh and blood … Oh, they don't have a stomach, so it's not strange.
Although they don't have the instinct to consume flesh and blood, if it's the aura of a living person, they'll enjoy it. "
Lulunaka reached out to touch the shoulder of Tuis' skeleton. The rusty half-body armor made a cracking sound. It was probably the sound of bones and iron rubbing against each other.
After hearing Lulunaka's words, Julius shuddered. He touched his arm and asked, "You just said that he won't move again, right?"
"Of course, so you don't have to worry about him suddenly jumping up and attacking you. Don't worry."
Romuona listened to the conversation between Julius and Lulunaka. She did not immediately join in the conversation.
She glanced at Lulunaka and Julius, occasionally glancing at the skeleton.
After a while, Romuona asked, "Does he have a name?"
Obviously, she was not referring to Julius. It could only be Tuis.
Neither she nor Julius knew Tuis' name.
They came here after Tuis left, so they did not have the chance to talk to Tuis and learn his name. For them, talking to an undead creature required more than just courage.
"Him?
His name is Tuis, "Lulunaka answered." I don't know anything else.
Are you interested in him? "
"A … friendly undead creature will always arouse curiosity."
Romuona said. She looked at Lulunaka as if trying to figure out what Lulunaka was thinking. "Or, is he so friendly because of you?"
Lulunaka did not understand Romuona's gaze at all. Perhaps she was pretending, or perhaps she really did not notice it. However, Romuona was more inclined to believe that Lulunaka ignored her question.
"What could it be? Maybe it's because I provided Mr. Tuis with a place to eat, drink, and rest. That's why he's so friendly."
Speaking of eating and drinking, Julius pointed at the small iron pot beside Lulunaka. "What did you cook for Mr. Tuis to eat?
And, can a skeleton eat biscuits?
Won't the biscuits leak everywhere? "
Julius's eyes were sharp. Since he could ask such a question, it meant that he had been concerned about the situation here.
"Biscuits?
For Mr. Tuis, if he eats them, he'll really eat them.
Of course, for us, strictly speaking, it's a waste of food. The biscuits just turn into crumbs and are not digested at all.
That's because he has no organs to digest them. "
Lulunaka shook the small iron pot. "As for this, do you want to know what I cooked?
You can't smell it, right? "
Julius nodded honestly. He could not smell what was cooking in the iron pot. He could not even smell if there was any smell coming from it.
