Chapter 111: Funeral

On March 20, 06 A.D., the funeral of Lawrence, King of Erossa.

On this day, when there was a light snow in the sky, Lawrence's coffin traveled east and north from the royal capital, and he was to be buried in the royal tomb of Clayderman, where he was buried in the mausoleum of the previous kings.

Charlotte wore black six-pointed star gloves on her hands, a belated celebration gift from Vivien Leigh to him. He and Vivien Leigh supported Lawrence's coffin on the left and right, with Rebecca in front, and a large group of nobles and military escorted the coffin into the city.

In the early morning of the 18th, everyone saw the terrifying black clouds, electric lights and thrones over Fort Savoa, and the roar of the night made the whole castle in ruins, and it was impossible for such a big movement to hide anyone's eyes.

Every household in the royal capital wears linen and filial piety, and everyone hangs a mourning black linen belt in front of the house.

Lawrence Clayderman was undoubtedly the virtuous king of Erosa and the lord of Zhongxing, and when he succeeded to the throne, the last Grand Duke was killed in the northern battlefield, and Lawrence was ordered to lead the remnants of the army north to repel the barbarians at the age of a weak crown. Later, Icewind Castle and Locente formed a strong alliance from north to west, and the northern expedition barbarians seized large tracts of pasture and cultivated land, tripling the territory of Erossa. He also conquered the south in the civil strife of the empire, took a large area of territory south of the Calvi Gorge, and became the two major overlords with Hossente, one north and one south, and his merits and prestige are few people even in Clayderman's 3,000-year history.

But it is no wonder that the people of the royal capital wept silently and spontaneously mourned the funeral of this venerable king.

That's right! The Clayderman family claimed that Lawrence died in battle under Fort Sava to defend Erosa, and the official version is that the legendary Witch of Calamity who was sealed during the Annihilation Crisis has returned, Lawrence has severely injured the witch in order to defend the people of Erosa, and he himself died of exhaustion, and Ewen, the former Grand Duke of Erossa, was captured by the witch. Although this is shocking, it is really not a lie, although it is bizarre, but seeing the majestic castle that collapsed overnight, no matter how bizarre the story is, some people believe it.

After all, the world of Steeu is a world of extraordinary power, and any myth and legend has its basis, and the night when the storm roared over Fort Savoie, and the terrible vision could be witnessed for hundreds of miles around Fort Savoa.

That is why the people of Erosa are so sad.

As Rebecca, Charlotte, and Vivien Leigh carried Lawrence's coffin through the city, the people of the royal capital spontaneously joined the procession to send the spirits to show their respect for the monarch who led them to the north to drive the barbarians and the south to conquer the south.

The sound of sad crying echoed in the royal capital, if you look at the royal capital from above, you will find that where the coffin passed, countless people poured out from the alleys that extended in all directions from the rear like ants followed the coffin, and the snow-white world was full of dense black tides, and the royal capital was empty of thousands of alleys, just for the emperor to see him off.

The procession did not stop until it was close to the Clayderman royal tomb. This is a hill located in the north of the royal capital, the interior of the mountain was hollowed out by the ancestors of Claireman, the entrance is a magnificent gate cast of stainless steel, the gate is about three zhang high, about two zhang wide, and two lifelike dragons are carved on it, and a person in the center sits on the throne with no regrets, which is the official ancestor of Clayderman and one of the three saints, Claudine.

Rebecca encouraged Vivien Leigh with her eyes, Fivien Leigh, who was designated as the contemporary head of the family, took a deep breath, she endured her grief to open the steel door, and activated the gate with a secret method with a mechanism, with a rumbling sound The door slowly opened, and the deep corridor inside revealed a deep cold, and at the moment when the door opened, the torches on the walls on both sides of the corridor burned in unison, straight into the depths.

At this point, except for the Claydeman blood and the knights of the family who served Clayderman, the rest were not allowed to enter.

Dema, Dinah, Nancy, Ramsay, and others remained outside the door, bowing their heads in honor of the venerable leader, while the rest fell to one knee, sword drawn, and chanted, 'Sending my lord's coffin to the grave'.

Vivien Leigh looked at Rebecca and Charlotte, and in the encouraging eyes of the former and the numbness of the latter, she helped the coffin into the cemetery first, followed by Rebecca and Charlotte, and a group of family knights carried the coffin slowly into the tomb of the former king.

The frescoes on both sides depict the great exploits of Clayderman's ancestors, starting from the northern border of Claudien's kingdom, and the history of the kings and their conquests. The color of those murals is no longer gorgeous, but with the weight of history and a sense of vastness, the murals of the previous kings seem to be silently watching the coffin forward, this long road is like a soul sublimation road, the soul of the first king seems to be waiting for the return of the lord of Zhongxing at the end.

Every once in a while, a stainless steel gate appears on both sides of the road, which is the tomb of the former king, the sleeping place of the ancestors of the past generations. Vivien Leigh led the group silently forward, the entire tomb structure is cross-shaped, the center is Claudien's sleeping tomb, the group knelt in the central tomb to worship Claudien, crossed the central tomb and walked for two miles, and finally arrived at the tomb belonging to Lawrence.

The door of Lawrence's tomb depicts his life's exploits, such as turning the tide and attacking the barbarians in the north, changing the new policy and military titles, conquering the south, and expanding the territory. The Erosa king's achievements were so great that the paint for painting his life's exploits had not yet dried up, and it was Rebecca who summoned skilled craftsmen to make them day after day.

The coffin stopped in front of the gate, and at this time, Rebecca held the coffin silently, which made Charlotte and Vivien Leigh brothers and sisters unable to restrain their grief in their hearts, and for a while the mourning echoed in the tomb.

It took a while for Rebecca to stop crying with Charlotte and Vivien Leigh in her arms. She pointed to the burial chamber and said, "When I die, I will also be buried here with your father." ”

Charlotte and Vivien Leigh wept at the same time when they saw her sad.

"There is no need for this, anyone will die one day, even the gods and kings who are high above cannot escape the fate of the final fall. Rebecca patted the palms of their hands, and pointed to the burial chamber in the depths, from here, the burial chamber was shadowed in the firelight, "That is the place where Vivien Leigh will rest in the future." ”

Vivien Leigh only glanced at it, and felt that the burial chamber, which flickered in the torches, looked like a monster's mouth, waiting to devour her soul. So, a great fear came to him. Her eyes were gloomy, the tears in her eyes reflected the light of the fire like a quiet fire burning in a deep pool, and the twenty-four-year-old female archduchess silently clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand, and at this moment, fear tugged at her heart, and no one could have imagined what thoughts had arisen in her heart.

- I want to become the king of the roots and fight against the fate of death!

After Evan and Charlotte, the last of the three siblings in the Northland also had the intention of fighting against the roots.

She looked at the tomb door for a moment, and then opened the door of Lawrence's tomb first, and sent the emperor of Erosa to his fateful place.
