Chapter 347 The Resurrected Corpse
A few days ago, Kendrick ate the best food he had ever eaten in his life.
Although he had never tasted delicious food before meeting Margaret.
At that time, killing was his only pleasure.
Even if it's just after encountering Margaret, it would still be absolutely delicious.
It was just a simple mushroom soup, yet its sweet and savory flavor surpassed that of beef stew.
After finishing his meal, Kendrick even licked the plate clean.
Kendrick later learned that a merchant had brought a food that could make food taste better.
But that thing seemed very expensive, and although Kendrick had some money, he didn't dare to waste it.
If he dies, he must leave something for Margaret so that she can return to the Duchy of the Holy Envoy on her own.
Since leaving the library, Kendrick has been retracing his steps in his past.
He would confess to the families of those he had killed, ask for their forgiveness, and offer compensation.
If they want Kendrick dead, Kendrick will give them his life.
This happened several times, but Margaret always pleaded with the other party on her behalf.
That's why Kendrick is still alive today.
He felt incredibly lucky to have met Margaret.
Margaret was like his angel, redeeming him.
But... Kendrick thought this more than once—does someone like me really deserve Margaret's favor?
Thinking of this, Kendrick couldn't help but turn his head to look at Margaret.
"What's wrong, darling?"
Oh my God!
No matter how many times Kendrick hears this nickname, it gives him goosebumps.
He said tremblingly, "It's nothing—I was just wondering, am I really good enough for you?"
"Why would you think that?" Margaret frowned. "There's no such thing as being a good match or not. I love you, and that's enough. Don't you love me?"
"No! That's not what I meant! I meant I love you," Kendrick said, feeling incredibly shy, "but you're an angel."
But I am a demon.
“I am not an angel, and you are not a devil,” Margaret said. “We are just two people.”
"But you've seen it all along, how many people I've killed—"
Even if he only kills one person a month, Kendrick already has hundreds of murders on his hands.
Margaret shook her head: "That's because you're sick, and you have to kill."
"No matter the reason, murder is murder," Kendrick said, bowing his head guiltily. "Those are my sins."
Although he tried his best to restrain himself and not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
But he will expose his weaknesses and lure others to provoke him.
For example, displaying one's wealth openly and sleeping in wasteland.
Kendrick knew better than anyone that the human heart cannot withstand temptation. "But you are trying to atone," Margaret said, "and I am your wife, and I am willing to bear half of your sins."
"But does atonement really make sense?" This is Kendrick's biggest point of confusion.
The person is already dead, and no matter how much Kendrick repents, he cannot bring the body back to life.
“That’s a million times better than not atoning,” Margaret said. “That’s what makes you so special. Even though you may have the skin of a devil, you actually have the heart of an angel.”
She is such a good woman.
Kendrick rallied and tried to crack a joke:
"So, does that mean you have the heart of a devil?"
Margaret's face instantly turned cold: "It's impolite to say that a nun has the heart of a devil, even though I'm just a former nun."
"I'm sorry, Margaret, I was just trying to joke—anyway, I'm very sorry!"
"Hmph! You really have no sense of humor."
Margaret seemed genuinely angry, and Kendrick agreed that Margaret was right.
Throughout the journey, Kendrick hoped countless times that Margaret would laugh happily, but he didn't know how.
Therefore, he was convinced that he was definitely a devil and had no angelic heart.
Otherwise, why can't he bring happiness to people?
They were walking through the Vila Wetlands, a swampy area with difficult paths.
Some say this is God's defiled land, yet this land still sustains many people.
At least, Kendrick thought the mushrooms here were really delicious.
Thinking of this, Kendrick suddenly said:
"Margaret."
"What's wrong?"
Margaret looked displeased; she still seemed not to have forgiven Kendrick's impetuous words.
Although she was a nun, she was kind and loving to everyone.
But she would only show a little temper in front of Kendrick.
However, Kendrick was not averse to it; in fact, he found Margaret's unconventional side quite interesting.
This made him feel that Margaret was truly his wife.
"It suddenly occurred to me that many things are not what they seem on the surface."
"Yes," Margaret nodded, "So you should be more confident and love yourself more."
Kendrick nodded and added:
"However, Margaret, no matter what kind of heart you have, you will always be my angel."
Upon hearing this, Margaret stood still.
Her eyes suddenly brightened and she stared intently at Kendrick, her expression softening.
What's wrong with Margaret? Kendrick was a little confused. Why did she suddenly make some strange expressions for no reason?
Suddenly, Margaret stood in front of him, cupped his face, and kissed him passionately.
She was so engrossed that Kendrick couldn't help but close his eyes.
In order to better respond to Margaret's warmth, softness and moisture.
Why did Margaret suddenly want to kiss him? Kendrick couldn't understand.
After an unknown amount of time, Margaret finally ran out of breath.
Her cheeks flushed, and she complained:
"You're always like this, always saying these things so seriously, you know perfectly well I can't stand it!"
So what are these? Kendrick was puzzled, and why he would use a kiss to relieve his "unbearable" discomfort.
Margaret stared intently at Kendrick, as if demanding more.
But Kendrick knew that this wouldn't work, and the timing was wrong:
"You know, Margaret, the place we're going to is a cemetery, not a blessed place."
"I know," Margaret nodded sadly.
This time, Kendrick's family members, whom he was atoneing for, all moved away.
All that is known is that the man's body was buried in a place called "Great Cemetery".
Therefore, Kendrick decided to visit the grave to pay his respects.
Margaret was also asked to recite a passage of scripture to bring peace to the deceased.
After traveling for a while, the two finally arrived at the cemetery.
Upon seeing this place, Kendrick was completely dumbfounded.
This cemetery is really too big.
Looking around, all you see are tombstones and nameless graves.
Finding the self-marked burial site will take a long time.
Besides, this is the Vila Wetlands, where there could be swamps everywhere.
Moreover, the terrain is complex, making it very easy to get lost.
Regardless, since Kendrick is determined to atone for his sins, he cannot back down.
He searched for a while, but found nothing.
Just then, Kendrick saw a figure ahead.
Kendrick was overjoyed, feeling that he was truly lucky.
If someone could be consulted, it would surely greatly improve efficiency.
Kendrick stepped forward and tried to strike up a conversation:
"Sir, may I ask if you know—"
Kendrick stopped halfway through his sentence.
His eyes widened in terror.
The figure before them was not a person at all, but a skeleton—
A resurrected corpse!
