Chapter 478: The Revenant of the Lighthouse Watchman

The young mage stared at the ghost in front of him vigilantly, and asked calmly, "Tell me your identity and origin, Mr. Ghost, and I will decide how to treat you next based on your sincerity."

A ghost is an incorporeal undead creature formed by the combination of "negative energy" and the soul of the deceased. It usually retains part of the memory and living habits including dressing and dressing.

The ghost that suddenly appeared in the lighthouse, even though it has become incorporeal, can still recognize his face and clothes in life-it looks like a young sailor.

"Dear Mr. Mage, my name is Thomas Curry, and I am a lookout employed by the colonial government to manage this lighthouse." The ghost shrugged and added with some frustration, "Well, at least I was this lighthouse during my lifetime. The watchman of the lighthouse, Mr. Master, what is your name?"

"My name is Joan, and I'm just a traveler passing by here." The young mage deliberately omitted his surname, lest the ghost cast a curse after learning his full name, "Mr. You are already dead, but your soul cannot rest in peace, is there any concern you can't let go of?"

After a person dies, the soul usually goes to the kingdom of the gods where the gods they worshiped, or the outer plane corresponding to the philosophy of their beliefs, while the souls of unbelievers go to the "spirit world (ether plane)". Only those souls who are resentful and unwilling to leave the world can be transformed into ghosts, still lingering in the places they never forget.

The ghost in front of Joan, who called himself Thomas Curry, had been dead for some time, and his soul was still wandering in the lighthouse. It can be seen that he has a deep affection for this place, which is exactly commensurate with the profession of "lighthouse watchman" in his lifetime.

"Mr. Master, it is hatred, anger and guilt that make my soul unable to rest! For four years, I have been tortured by these three negative emotions, and I almost went crazy and turned into an evil spirit. It is your arrival that saved me and made me I can escape the torment of guilt!" said the ghost excitedly.

"Guilty?" Joan raised his eyebrows and looked at the ghost curiously. "Mr. Curry, have I done anything to help you get rid of guilt?"

"Just now, you repaired the lighthouse, making this lighthouse rekindle the light of warning after a lapse of four years!"

"Mr. Mage, this should be my job, but after I became a ghost, I can no longer perform my duties in my lifetime. Every day, I look at the extinguished lighthouses and those ships that have run aground and sunk because they lost their lighthouse navigation. I feel very guilty for my negligence..."

"Until your arrival brought the lighthouse back to light. This dazzling brilliance made me unable to contain my excitement, and I couldn't help showing myself to thank you."

The ghost bowed deeply to Joan, showing gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"I am deeply touched by your professionalism, Mr. Curry, you just said that there are three kinds of negative emotions that make your soul restless, now I know why you are guilty, so can you tell me, it has been so many years, Why can't you let go of the hatred and anger in your heart?"

"Mr. Mage, it all started four years ago, when a group of sirens rode a storm cloud from the depths of the ocean to the 'Scimitar Coast' and built their lairs in the atoll near the lighthouse. They sang beautiful songs, seduced the nearby creatures to approach them, and became the prey of the group of evil banshees in a state of fascination. dead body."

Recalling what happened back then, Thomas Curry's ghost couldn't help trembling, and death couldn't make him forget the fear and torture he had suffered during his lifetime.

"Mr. Curry, if I'm not mistaken, you are also one of the victims of the Sirens, and you still want to take revenge on the Sirens?" Joan asked.

"Yes, Mr. Mage, my weak will can't resist the beautiful singing voice of the sirens, and I became their captive. I also listened to their rhetoric, destroyed the lampstand by myself, and turned off the lights... Alas, now that I think about it And ashamed, it was like a nightmare."

The ghost covered his face and sighed, and it took him a while to calm down, and then he said: "I thought it was love. I gave everything I had to win the siren's favor, and even committed crimes of dereliction of duty, but this is despicable. A scam! When I destroyed the lighthouse with my own hands, the sirens thought that I had lost their use value, so they immediately changed into a vicious and cruel face, killed me cruelly, and ate my body, while my soul died out of hatred. No rest with wrath!"

"In the four years since then, the Sirens have been entrenched in the atolls and established their own evil kingdom. Day after day, they use enchanting songs to lure the passing ships to run aground and plunder the gold, silver and jewels on board. Charming and finally eating those poor passengers and sailors on the ship, the sins committed are simply innumerable, so that this sea area is regarded as an extremely dangerous restricted area by ships, and it is called the 'sailor's cemetery'!"

The ghost of the lighthouse watchman raised his head, his eyes were burning with pale and blazing light, and he floated excitedly towards Joan until he was blocked by the "protection from evil" barrier.

"Dear mage, over the years, no less than ten spellcasters have passed by here, but only you are willing to take the initiative to restore the lighthouse, which shows that you are a kind-hearted person. I beg you to try to eliminate those evil sirens , restore peace to this sea area, and get rid of the notoriety of 'sailor's cemetery'!"

"Calm down, Mr. Curry, tell me how many siren girls there are in total, where they usually hide, and how many accomplices they have around them." Joan told the ghost frankly, "Before deciding whether to accept your commission, I must Fully aware of the strength of the enemy, if there is no hope of victory, I don't want to waste my life."

"You are right, Mr. Mage, we really have to take this matter seriously, and now I will answer your question." The ghost of the lighthouse watchman stopped and recalled, and then said, "The ring about two miles away from the lighthouse Near the reef, there is a large ship that ran aground four years ago. Half of the ship sank below the sea surface at an angle and sank deep in the sand, but the bow part of the ship was still exposed above the sea surface. The three evil siren sisters are entrenched In this sunken ship, every night when the moon is clear, they will sit on the balcony on the second floor of the bow and sing."

"Are there three siren girls in total? This is not easy to deal with..."

Joan frowned slightly, lost in thought.
