Chapter 59: To the Palace
In the backyard of the temple in Sivaram (where the temple healed the wounded of the priests, the equivalent of a modern hospital), there was a flat open field, the soft grass was extremely smooth, and the green dwarf trees lined up like soldiers standing guard along the road. The dwarf trees, which are almost identical in height and appearance, look like a tree when viewed from the side, showing that the gardeners in charge of pruning them have done their job to the point of making a difference.
However, this makes people feel that some obsessive-compulsive work attitudes are not abrupt here, or that only people with such work attitudes can work here, because this is the country where the deceased are laid to rest.
A square tombstone is erected on the grass in an orderly manner, looking solemn and lonely. Although there are so many headstones in the whole cemetery that people with dense phobias are daunted, there are still many fewer in terms of the history and population of the country, and the reason is that not everyone can be buried in the cemetery, and the priests will purify the cemetery every once in a while to comfort the dead, and there is a special person to maintain the cemetery, such a job cannot be free, so those who want to be buried in the cemetery need to pay a large amount of money, which is difficult for ordinary families to afford.
I don't know if it's a mental effect, but the bright sunshine seems to be turning pale at this moment. I hate funerals because I feel very heavy, life and death are painful, but there is still hope for reunion, but death is only the memory condensed into tears day after day.
Anne stood by her brother's grave dressed in black, the whole funeral was very simple, the people who came to attend took turns to send flowers to Nick, in addition to the seven eagles, there were also the innkeeper Lilita and Anjief's wife and daughter, everyone's face was quite dark, revealing deep sadness in their hearts.
"Excuse me, are you a god?"
A childish voice came from her ears, and a little girl looked at Geous with eyes as bright as treasures, and said in a somewhat timid tone.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a god."
Geous crouched down and touched the little girl's head with his hand and replied, deliberately reducing the brightness of his body in order not to hurt the little girl.
"So will you resurrect the magic? If Brother Nick could be resurrected, everyone wouldn't be so sad. ”
The little girl clenched her fleshy little hands into fists and looked at Geaus very seriously.
"Life and death are laws of nature, and even magic cannot change them, so as far as I know, there is no resurrection magic in this world."
"That's right."
The little girl bowed her head in disappointment.
"Angie Bena, don't be rude."
The little girl's mother stepped forward, shook the little girl's hand, and nodded to us in a friendly way.
"No, not at all, your daughter is very well-behaved."
"Angie Banna, you and Mommy go and comfort Sister Anne, Daddy is going to talk to Mr. Carter."
Anjiefu hugged the little girl very affectionately and said gently. The little girl and her mother are none other than Angelf's daughter, Angel Bena, and his wife, Lis.
"Well, okay, don't be too sad Dad, I heard that Heaven is a very happy place, so Brother Nick will definitely be very happy."
Angel Bena left a well-behaved kiss on her father's face, and took her mother's hand and walked over to Anne.
"I still need my daughter's comfort, I'm really useless as a father."
Although the words were somewhat like complaints, the tone was full of happiness.
"Captain Anjef's daughter is really cute."
"Haha, Mr. Carter thinks so, she's my treasure."
Anjief showed a rather smug smile, then he looked at Geous and said in a somewhat nervous tone: "You are Lord Geaus, my name is Anjief I grew up listening to your legends, and it is a great honor to be able to meet such a great hero as you." ”
"Actually, it's very ashamed to say that my generation is just a wise monarch, Anjief, you can see that you are also a very good warrior, as long as you carry out your beliefs, you will definitely be able to create your own legend."
It's really the way an old cadre speaks, but Anjief seems to be very moved.
"Ah, I'll take your words to heart."
I didn't want to be left out all the time, so I interjected: "Captain Anjief, you just said something to tell me, what is it?" ”
"Oh, I guess Mr. Carter was aware of it when he entered the city, and the guards here have suddenly increased a lot, and I have inquired about the reason."
Anjef paused as if to confirm whether I was listening or not, and looked at me as if he could only see the mask covering his face, before he continued.
"It is said that Lanka killed Sheriff Wallace, and just a few days after we entered the catacombs, it seems that something happened, and Lord Delnith has also gathered a lot of troops, I am afraid that there will be a big move."
"What? So how is Lanka now? And what about Il? ”
I asked anxiously.
According to the information available, one of the captains of Balikaf's detachment defected, and the rest of the detachment commanders and the troops stationed in the city were executed for treason. Lanka's words are still wanted, and Il's fate is unknown, and Il seems to have left with Anlia in advance, so he is not involved in the matter. ”
I was relieved to hear that Il wasn't involved.
"If Il and Anlia leave together, it is likely that they will return to the village. But in this way, I'm afraid that General Balikaf's situation will be very difficult. What's next for Captain Anjeve? ”
"Although Ballycalf is my friend, but after all, it is a matter in the palace, and I can't help it, and Nick's death has also hit me hard, and Anne is also in a bad state, so we will rest for a while, and I should also spend more time with Angelena and Lis."
Anjiefu looked at his wife and children not far away, his eyes full of apology.
"So, what's next for Mr. Carter?"
"If I say so, I'll go to Il first and then go to the royal capital, I heard that there is a big library there, and I have something I want to look up too."
"So, if you have time, welcome to Sivaran, I want to learn more martial arts from you."
"Haha, Captain Anjief, you're really polite."
After the funeral, we all walked outside the cemetery, except for Anne, who wanted to spend a little more time with her brother, and Ranges, who wanted to comfort Anne, who remained in the cemetery.
"Are you Mr. Carter, please?"
Outside the gate of the temple, a man who looked like an attendant asked me respectfully. Behind him was an elegantly decorated carriage, surrounded by four guards on horseback. , judging by the way they look, it seems that they have been waiting for a while.
"Yes, I am."
I was a little confused, but I nodded.
"Please move to the carriage, Your Majesty please."
The attendant half-bowed, pointed to the carriage behind him, and said with a smile on his face.
"Master Carter, I'm going with you."
Geous stepped forward and stood in front of me.
"This, Your Majesty has only invited Mr. Carter alone."
The squire's tone was a little embarrassed.
"Ah, I see, then Geaus, you should be with Anjev and the others first, and I will look for you when I get back."
I patted Geaus on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't have to worry, and then got into the carriage with the squire in charge. I'm going to go to the palace next, but I don't know what a gorgeous place it is, so I can't help but feel a little looking forward to it.
