Chapter XVII

Three days later, Odin's funeral took place as scheduled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Dressed in a black formal suit and the uniform of the Eye of the Oracle, Luo Qi stood in the cemetery, wearing a black veil on his left arm, staring at the tombstone in front of him, on which his father's name was engraved.

One by one, the mourners walked in, and the receptionists standing in front of the door led them into the cemetery one by one.

"The funeral is about to begin, this time you can cry casually, no one will laugh at you for not being a man." At this time, Monrosa walked up to Luo Qi and said slowly.

"Your Majesty." Luo Qi bowed to Monrosa and said, "Thank you for coming to my father's funeral. ”

"The hero of the kingdom, the country's standing is half of Odin's credit, how can I not come to mourn." "And on top of this funeral, I'll fulfill your father's last wish." ”

Hearing this, Luo Qi couldn't help gritting his teeth and lowered his head.

"Are you still haunted by what your father said? Don't worry, you can't control everything, even your father. "Maybe you can't accept that what you hate has become true, but since it's already happened, you can't escape it, so you can only choose to accept it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo Qi bowed.

As he spoke, the funeral had begun, and under the leadership of the priest, the people present were lined up, with Lotchi, Aphlorea, and Tini standing in the first row, and King Monrosa standing on one side.

"All misfortunes are calamities from heaven, all sufferings are the nothingness fabricated by fate, when our lives have stepped into the difficult stage of testing, by the favor of the Father, He will bring you into heaven and end your life of suffering." The priest stood on the high platform and said slowly, "And today, our esteemed Mr. Odin El Noah has bid farewell to us forever. ”

"Daddy!" Tini clutched Aphlorea's hand tightly and screamed, her body shaking.

Luo Qi stood there like a puppet, not saying a word, staring blankly ahead.

"During his lifetime, Mr. Odin, as the head of the great knight of the Eye of the Oracle of our country, fought in all directions, defended the homeland, made great contributions to the country, and defended the safety of our revered king, and was an indelible hero, however, it was such a hero, God, but he forgot to care for him, perhaps because of the dazzling light that even God could not look at, so he said goodbye to all of us."

Roach remained unmoved, as if the pastor's eulogy had nothing to do with him, and he stood quietly in the first row with the breeze blowing his shirt, while he himself did not even move a finger.

At this time, the band began to play mourning music, only to listen to the music echoing throughout the majestic cemetery, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, sometimes warm, sometimes sad, as if a group of warriors fighting hard in a desperate situation, still holding hope, looking up at the rising sun, clenching their fists, and launching a death-defying charge against the enemy who could never be defeated.

After a long time, Luo Qi slowly asked, "What is the name of this song?" ”

"Prelude to Dawn." At this time, Monrosa spoke, "At this time, Odin asked that this military music be played at the funeral, which is usually a symphony played in the army, on the last night of the final battle. Officers and soldiers in the army listen to this song, and it is said that after listening to it, they will win all battles. ”

"Prelude to dawn." Luo Qi nodded, "I see." ”

Then the priest stepped forward and said, "Please come forward and say your dearest farewell, Mr. Lotsy, Lady Aphlorea, and Miss Tiny." ”

Aphronea, caressing Tiny's head and comforting her, took her hand and led her to Odin's coffin.

Looking at Odin, who was lying in a black coffin and covered with the flag of the Kingdom of Norvi, Obrorea was silent for a long time, and then smiled slightly, tears sliding down her cheeks.

"It's not a bad ending, right, our child, he has become an excellent man, he has been able to inherit your will, and I can finally see you, although you can't see me anymore......"

As she spoke, Aphrorea covered her eyes with one hand and clenched her teeth to keep herself from crying, while Tini cried loudly, calling for her father, clutching the edge of the coffin with both hands and screaming.

Luo Qi knelt on one knee in front of Odin's coffin, caressed the coffin with one hand, and after a long time, he knelt down on both knees and whispered: "I'm sorry, father, I shed too many tears a few days ago, you are dissatisfied with me, I'm sorry, at that time, I didn't think too much, that's why it's like this." ”

"But now, I swear that I will never shed a single tear again, I swear......"

Looking at Luo Qi who kowtowed to Odin's coffin, Liuli, who was standing on the side, couldn't help it at first, covered her lips with her hands and sobbed in a low voice, Scarlet on the side held back her tears and comforted Liuli in a low voice, while Selena lowered her head and no longer looked at the scene in front of her.

Looking at the three of them, Ling Ye was silent, and there was a silent look on his face.

Carrying Odin's coffin and placing it in the grave that had been dug in advance, Luo Qi shoveled up the soil with his own hands and covered Odin's coffin little by little.

"Your Majesty, have you really decided to have Luo Qi as the new leader of the Eye of the Oracle?" Standing beside Monrosa, Imperial Chancellor Desmer Langton asked.

"Any comments on him?" Monrosa asked lightly.

"It's a bit of a bad thing to say, but isn't it a bit too hasty for Mr. Odin to blatantly claim that he will give up such an important position in the country as the Eye of the Oracle to his son rather than a selected elite after his death?" Tismore Langton whispered.

"It shows that Odin has confidence in his son, and since Odin took office, none of the people he recommended have ever made a mistake, so I don't think there is a problem." Monrosa said.

"Even so, I still don't think it's appropriate, and I should be selected in the Knights of the Oracle Eye." Dismore said.

"Didn't you see what Luo Qi was wearing?" Monrosa turned his head, "That's the uniform of the Eye of the Oracle, I have already made him the Eye of the Oracle when he returns, and his merits are now worthy of the rank of prince, such a reward is not a reward, it can only be regarded as a responsibility." ”

"......" Dismore was silent for a while, he really had no way to refute, whether it was defending the royal city, destroying the legal code, or even doing something incredible about forming an alliance with the elven kingdom, such a credit is unrivaled among the newcomers, even those of the older generation There are many people who can only sigh when facing Luo Qi.

After Lotchi filled in Odin's grave, he stood in front of the tombstone and closed his eyes slightly.

"One last ritual." At this time, Monrosa's voice sounded, and I saw him walk behind Luo Qi and said slowly, "Luo Qi, let's start." ”

Luo Qi was silent for a long time, then turned to look at Monrosa, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Monrosa.

Monrosa stretched out his hand, and saw a member of the Order of the Oracle's Eye step forward with a long sword in both hands, the silver blade and the hilt of the sword, and on the hilt of the sword, carved an eye that seemed to be able to see everything.

The object of faith of the oracle's eye, the sword of the regimental commander, and the silver pupil

Monrosa picked up the sword, faced Roach, and placed it on Roach's shoulder.

"Luo Qi, a new member of the Knights of the Divine Eye, made a contribution in the battle to defend the royal city, was canonized as a member of the Royal Knights, and then participated in the high-level mission to enter the Oran Empire, as a key person in the operation for the final mission, and later won the signing of a peace treaty with the Elven Kingdom in the Elven Kingdom, it is a great achievement, today Odin is immortal, the position of the head of the Divine Eye is vacant, I hereby canonize Luo Qi as the head of the Knights of the Divine Eye, lead the kingdom forbidden army, and protect the peace of the country!"

With that, Monrosa held the sword in both hands, bent down and handed it to Luo Qi.

Luo Qi looked up at the long sword, and the blade of the sword seemed to shine with the countless brilliance that Odin had used to set up.

Stretching out his hands, Luo Qi caught the long sword, his lips buzzed, and his body seemed to tremble because of it.

"Below, the command ......"
