Chapter 499 - 499 500 The Departing Ones

?Chapter 499: Chapter 500 The Departing Ones Chapter 499: Chapter 500 The Departing Ones Annie looked somewhat bewilderedly at the two “guests” in the cabin, her gaze flitting back and forth between Agatha and Duncan for a long time before the girl finally reacted a bit, “Ah, Uncle Duncan, are you going to be the custodian of this cemetery?”

“Perhaps,” Duncan said, glancing at Agatha who was still in shock, “Is this not possible? Must the cemetery custodian be a retired Guardian veteran?”

Agatha finally came to her senses and hurriedly spoke up, “No… although generally speaking, cemetery custodians are indeed retired Guardian veterans, of course I can arrange a position for you, that’s not the issue, the key is… do you really want to stay in this cemetery and be a custodian?”

“In Prand, my identity is still that of an antique dealer,” Duncan said, a hint of amusement in his eyes, “Homeloss won’t stay in one place, but my avatar will remain in the City-State. I have to find something to do, after all, I can’t just do nothing all day long in that big house on Oak Street, sipping tea and reading the newspaper, can I?”

“This… I never really thought about that,” Agatha opened her mouth, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I’d never considered what your ‘avatar’ might need to do on a day-to-day basis…”

“It’s normal. Most novels and movies don’t mention anything about the protagonists transitioning to other jobs after their adventures are over. In reality, you’re doing the work of two people by yourself, and Tirian is overwhelmed with paperwork every day,” Duncan laughed, “For me, wandering the Endless Sea on a Ghost Ship that doesn’t dock can be very tedious. Living the life of a normal person in the City-State is my way to ensure I still feel like a ‘human’. You might think of it as…”

Agatha immediately interjected, “I’ll arrange it for you right away. You can come to the cemetery to ‘take up your post’ tomorrow.”

Duncan: “… I haven’t finished talking.”

“I’ve already listened to the most important part,” Agatha said earnestly, “Rest assured, even if the highest sanctum inquires, I will make sure you can peacefully be a custodian in this cemetery.”
