Chapter 416 As long as you live, there is hope

Cang Ling took a closer look, and there happened to be a 45-degree corner here, and many leaves were silted up at the corner.

"He probably floated down from the upper reaches, then ran aground here, and was washed ashore by the current." Rutherford walked to the stream, picked up a wooden stick and dug up the soil.

"Let me do it." Cang Ling strode forward, pulled out the engineer shovel and cleaned up the surrounding soil in a short while.

"Here!" Rutherford glanced at a rectangular box in the pit.

He carefully took out the wooden box, wiped off the dirt on it, and opened the lid.

I saw a foot-long tail curled up in the box. The flesh and hair had rotted and fallen off, and there were many insects crawling on it.

Cang Ling hurriedly picked up the tail and put it in the stream to wash it, and soon all the dirt was washed away, revealing the white bones inside.

"1, 2, 3..." Cang Ling took out a handkerchief, and carefully placed the bones on it one by one, a total of 21 pieces.

"Great, with these bones, the captain's soul should be preserved." Cang Ling said happily.

"It's great to be able to help, I hope this can make up for my mistakes." Rutherford showed a gratified expression.

"Thanks to you for keeping Captain Wolfe's tail. If I didn't have this tail, I would have to look for Captain Wolfe's parents like a needle in a haystack. Maybe I may not be able to find them. You saved his life again, thank you " Cang Ling said sincerely.

"Don't say that, it's nothing compared to the damage I caused him."

"Don't blame yourself too much. In fact, Captain Wolfe is still very grateful to you, otherwise he would not take the initiative to write to you. If he can recover in the future, come and see him! I believe he sees you I'm sure you'll be very happy."

"Definitely, definitely!" Rutherford's eye circles were red again.

After returning to the town, Cang Ling returned the carriage to the chamber of commerce, and rode his hell horse to Haiyin.

Seeing that she hadn't rested for several days, Rutherford hurriedly fetched some bread and cheese from the kitchen and ran over to give it to Cang Ling, who accepted it with a smile.

"Can I take another look at Wolfe's soul?" Rutherford asked before leaving.

"Of course." Cang Ling took out the glass bottle from his arms and handed it to Rutherford.

Rutherford held the glass bottle in his hand, stroked it lightly like a child, and then whispered a few words to the soul inside.

After speaking, he touched the bottle again, and reluctantly returned it to Cang Ling.

"Take care all the way! I wish you all the best!" Rutherford waved.

"Don't worry, goodbye!" Cang Ling kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and galloped to the southwest.

It was after five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in Haiyin. Bishop Jacob had just finished his day's work and was about to close the door of the church.

"Bishop Jacob!" Cang Ling slammed on the brakes and jumped off the horse.

"Sergeant Cang! You're back so soon?" Bishop Jacob ran out in surprise.

"That's right, and I also brought Captain Wolfe's skeleton." Cang Ling took out a handkerchief from his pocket.

Jacob took the handkerchief and opened it, showing a questioning expression: "Is this a human bone?"

"This is Captain Wolfe's tailbone." Cang Ling replied.

"Tailbone?" Jacob was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Wolf had a tail in the first place.

"How? Can it be used?"

"Of course, if this is indeed his skeleton, there must be no problem."

"Great! Then please help him make a container!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me." The leader carefully walked in with a handkerchief in his hand.

Jacob's efficiency was very high, and the container for preserving the soul was ready after three days.

Cang Ling took a look and saw that it was a particularly beautifully made white ball. The sun and moon were carved with hollow patterns on the ball, and there were white tassels on the bottom.

"Is the hollowing out okay? Will the soul leak out?" Cang Ling asked worriedly.

"Don't worry! As long as you put it into this magic weapon, your soul will never dissipate." Jacob said with certainty.

Cang Ling felt relieved, took out the glass bottle, and carefully poured the soul inside into the magic weapon.

After closing the lid, the soul was suspended in the magic vessel steadily, and the faint light was reflected through the hollow part, which looked really beautiful.

"It's so beautiful...you are not only a bishop, but also an artist." Cang Ling admired sincerely.

"After all, this is where Captain Wolf will live in the future, so of course it should be made more beautiful." Jacob laughed.

"Bishop, I would like to ask you a question: Is it possible for Captain Wolf's body... to recover?"

The bishop hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Although I don't want to disappoint you, it should be impossible."

"That's it..." Cang Ling was a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted, "No matter what, it's good to keep the soul."

"From a religious point of view, as long as the soul is immortal, it is still alive." The bishop comforted, "When technology develops in the future, there may be a way to regenerate his body."

"You are right, as long as you are alive, there is hope." Cang Ling smiled.

After bidding farewell to Jacob, Cang Ling quickly returned to Lagrange, and reported the good news of successfully saving his soul to the anxiously waiting crowd.

"I didn't expect Father Rutherford to still have the captain's tail. I'm so lucky." Lyudmila said looking at the exquisite magic weapon.

"Wow, this ball is so beautiful, it's even more beautiful with a soul on it." Phoebe just wanted to reach out to touch it, but Kali slapped it down.

"Be careful not to break it!" Kali reminded.

"It doesn't matter, I injected spiritual power into it, even if it is cut by a knife, it won't be broken." Cang Ling said hurriedly.

"That's right, these are human bones that can store spiritual power." Ryan said, staring at the magic weapon.

"How do I keep this? Should I put it in a safe?" Charlene asked.

"Safe? Don't want it? What if the captain is suffocated to death?" Phoebe said hurriedly.

"The captain has no nostrils now, how could he suffocate to death..." Kali complained.

"It's better not to trap the captain. Although he only has a soul left, he is still a living person. He will definitely be depressed if he is placed in a dark cabinet all day long." Ryan also said.

Lyudmila thought for a while and said, "Zero, you will keep the captain's soul!"

"Huh? Is it possible?" Cang Ling was surprised and delighted when he heard this.

"You are the most trusted person of the captain, and the first person he looked for after he came back. The captain will be happy if you take care of it." Lyudmila said with a smile.

"Yes! I will definitely protect the captain's soul!" Cang Ling took the magic weapon excitedly.

"Master Chief, where are you going to put the captain's soul?" Phoebe asked.

　Guess what Rutherford told Wolfe?
