Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 141

Chapter 141: A taste of history.

“We can discuss those things later, for now you need to help those guys out. The red ruby, something much more dangerous is hiding inside. You need to take a mirror and hold it over the ruby, trap that thing and send it away. ” The spirit encouraged her.

“What is it?” she asked curiously.

What else could be more dangerous than the evil ghosts being banished?

“The evil spirit of the greedy governor, he is waiting for one moment for an opportunity to possess the body of the soldier that was drawn to the ruby and almost caused a disaster.”

Phoebe took a deep breath and she got up calmly. In her magical space, she had everything, including small round shaped mirror that she got from her bag. She injected some energy into it and slowly weaved her way through the ghost catchers that were settling down as half of the ghosts had been dealt with.

She was careful not to distract them as she located the ruby and squatted down. Without touching the ruby, she held the mirror over it. Immediately, some dark energy dashed out of the ruby and went straight into the mirror.

Phoebe raised the mirror and smiled arrogantly at the black mass inside which didn’t even have a shape. It had strength though, and it was trying to break the mirror.

“Ha! what an idiot.” she smirked.

Immediately, she cast a ghost binding spell over the mirror, trapping the governor’s evil spirit inside permanently.

The subsequent howl of anguish and pain that came from inside the mirror satisfied her deeply.

Following the instructions of the Saxon spirit, she tossed it into the same direction as the ghosts that were on their way to purgatory.

Her work was not finished yet as she had promised the dead soldiers a state burial. Their bones needed to be separated from those of the enemy. With the help of the Saxon spirit and the helpful hands of the three men that came with her, she set out on a mission of identifying them and putting them aside.

When the ghost catchers finished eradicating the ghosts, they joined her to finish that job. All the surviving bones of the Fog country soldiers were carried out. The ones belonging to the Eagle country soldiers were gathered to one corner, salt was poured on them and they were set on fire at Amon’s command.

By the time the general and his soldiers returned to start on the treasure retrieval mission, smoke was quite heavy in the air.

“Amon!!” he ground out.

Amon was standing next to the entrance with Rekha next to Phoebe and company, a big accomplished smile on his face.

“We didn’t touch your treasures uncle.”

“You started a fire, are you crazy?” The exasperated general responded. “What if you set these precious things on fire?”

He looked at his soldiers were working slowly and carefully like old women who had all day.

“Stop dawdling as if you have no strength, you are soldiers of Fog country, carry these things out quickly as if it’s your wedding night and you are escorting your new wife to the bed chamber.” he commanded, loudly.

The cave reverberated with his command and the soldiers loudly responded to his command.

“Yes sir.” they barked.

Their speed increased hastily and they stopped caring about what condition the treasures in. They stuffed things into sacks and boxes at a high speed.

While the general was smiling proudly, Amon wanted to hide his face in shame. What was wrong with his uncle and his language? Escorting your new bride to the bed chamber!!

“Sir, the national seal is intact.” A soldier reported to the general.

It was presented to him and everyone turned their heads to see what it looked like. Phoebe, who happened to be the shortest in the group had to stand on tiptoes to peek but that didn’t help.

In the end, she didn’t get to see it and she settled on sulking while David chuckled at her.

He ruffled her hair and consoled her, “It’s okay shortie, i will take you to have a look when it’s on display in one of the national museums.”

Phoebe hissed at him in response. Normally, she would have a sharp retort in response but she had been up for so many hours that her brain was on a freeze.

“I saw you do a ghost binding spell.” Rekha poked Phoebe on the shoulder and commented.

Phoebe nodded. “Dewayne’s evil spirit was attached to the red ruby. I imprisoned him in the mirror so that even in purgatory, he cannot move. He will be trapped in there forever.”

“And you say you are not a ghost catcher.” Rekha scoffed.

Punishing evil ghosts was ghost catcher territory, Phoebe was a ghost catcher, whether she admitted it or not.

“Are you all members of the same sect?” Phoebe asked Rekha.

She had observed how familiar and in sync the ghost catchers on this mission were with other. She jumped to the conclusion that they belonged to the same group or trained together often. Since the Saxon spirit had mentioned a sect, she decided to test the waters.

The woman nodded. “We are members of the first sect that was started by some people from the first founding families. The members of the sect had a duty to protect the world from unknown forces of darkness that could ruin it. In due time, the sect lost momentum as some people broke away and formed their own sects, others ended their involvement in all supernatural related activities and chose to live normal lives, like the Mayfairs.” she deliberately mentioned their family since they were there.

Her eyes moved to David and she added, “The Saxons too.”

Edward, Andre and David were all surprised by this information. This was a piece of their family history which they had no idea about. Phoebe had a clue about the Saxons because of the magical space and the Saxon spirit. The Mayfairs having ghost catching ancestors was a surprise to her too.

Andre pointed at Rekha and exclaimed loudly, “Wait, so we used to do cool shit like this.”

He really couldn’t believe it that he had ancestors that did what he had seen the ghost catchers doing. Why did they give it up? Who were these ancestors and what were their names? He had so many questions and he was going to look for answers when they got home.

Rekha slapped his finger away, covered her mouth and yawned loudly.

“This was really draining, damn grave robbers.” she muttered. In a louder voice, she told Andre, “Get answers on your own superstar, i am leaving, our work here is done.” She yawned again.

Out of the blue, she hugged Phoebe and then walked away without bidding anyone else farewell. Phoebe yawned too, and she shuffled her feet.

“Dad, we should go too, i am really tired.”

On hearing her soft voice, Edward didn’t delay and he took the bag in her hands and threw it to Andre while giving him a scathing look.

He put his hands around Phoebe’s shoulders and led her out of the cave. “Let’s go princess, let’s go home.”
