447.The Glory of Humanity (part 2/5)

Early the next morning, Qin Shiou got up and put on formal clothes with Winnie, the weather was cold, of course his Tang costume could not be worn, Winnie helped him buy a black suit, with silver edges, which looked solemn and slightly energetic.

Winnie is dressed in a dignified and simple manner, wearing a knitted sweater in a black cape on her upper body, and a bright silver pin pinned to her chest as a highlight. Black silk pantyhose on the lower body - In Europe and the United States, black silk culture is closely associated with funerals and mourning parties.

The memorial service for the victims of Storm 18 in Kraken was held in the Royal Impression Park, the largest square in the port of the Basque Country.

This is an open park, covering an area of hundreds of acres, the trees in it are tied with white flowers, and the participants also hold flowers in their hands, such as white roses, gardenias, white lotus flowers or plain flowers.

When Qin Shiou entered the park, Winnie helped him choose a white chrysanthemum, and when he asked what it meant, Winnie said: "This expresses the longing for the martyr's high wind and bright festival, and the memory of his deceased soul." ”

Qin Shiou pinched Winnie's arm, he felt that if God really existed, then the best gift God gave him was not the heart of the sea god, but Winnie.

The two led the fishermen into the park square, and immediately someone came to meet them and led them to the back of the square rostrum, where there were already some people, such as Prince Harry.

Prince Harry also brought a female companion, blonde hair and snow-skinned and elegant temperament, although he was not very old, he looked graceful and luxurious, and it was obvious that he was aristocratic educated.

Seeing Qin Shiou, Prince Harry nodded politely and introduced his female companion first: "This is my good friend, lady-Crowleen Quintina-Salbert-Bates." ”

"Please call me Croryne. Mr. Captain. The elegant woman smiled and shook hands with Qin Shiou, and then stood quietly aside.

Qin Shiou didn't understand much. Quietly asked Winnie, "Why is this girl called 'lady'?" Are you married? ”

Winnie explained quietly, "Dear fool, lady is a title here. The title of English nobility is a very troublesome thing. To put it simply, the ladies of the knights are generally called lady, you know. Their daughters, like them, will also be called lady, and the overall title is lady plus first and last name. ”

Qin Shiou suddenly realized, and he asked again: "When Prince Harry introduced me, it seemed that his name was Henry, why did they call him Prince Harry?" ”

Winnie said: "It's just another name, and most people don't bother to correct it when the pronunciation habits are like this." In fact, the official title of the prince is Prince of Wales-Henry. ”

Qin Shiou was about to say something, but Winnie winked at him and added, "No matter what it's called, he's a bastard anyway!" If he hadn't been in the army for ten years, he would have really disgraced the title of prince. ”

Qin Shiou laughed, Winnie said bad things about other men, why was he so happy.

Then Afif also came, and the female companion he brought with him was a big Lori, who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old. Similar in height to Shirley now, with black hair and black eyes, he is a pure Arab.

But unlike most Arab women, this big loli has a surprisingly delicate beauty in her appearance. She has natural eyeshadow and slender eyelashes that are almost impossible to see in Asian women, and this simple and detailed upper and lower inner eyeliner makes her eyes look extra deep.

When he met Qin Shiou this time, Afif gave him a hug. It's no longer a handshake like before.

After hugging, Afif introduced his female companion and said, "This is my cousin, Princess Salama. A wonderful, pretty little girl, right? ”

Qin Shiou agreed: "Yes. It's beautiful, especially her eyes, which are almost like angels. ”

He knows that Arab countries are accustomed to cousin marriages, and it is estimated that this big Lori princess is the fiancΓ©e prepared for Afif, this guy is very happy, and the little princess is indeed extremely beautiful.

The group whispered together, and a bishop stepped up to the podium and began to preside over the mourning service.

A total of 25 people were killed in the storm, and the staff put large black and white photos of them behind the rostrum, and the families of 25 people were invited to the square to snuggle together and weep.

First, Qin Shiou took turns to offer flowers, Qin Shiou presented his white chrysanthemum to Mrs. Casman, the captain of the Nass Guest, and followed Winnie next to him to hug her and said, "Please mourn, madam." Captain Kasman is the best captain I know, he has a great personality, he is a role model for my boyfriend and for all the captains. ”

After a series of activities, the next was the representative's speech, Prince Harry came to power on behalf of the British royal family and the Canadian government, followed by Qin Shiou, who spoke on behalf of the harvest.

Winnie has already prepared a script for him, and it is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, so after taking the stage, he is not stage frightened, and he comes with a smile:

"First of all, I stand here with reverence for Captain Cassman and First Mate Gilbert, and sorrow for the other twenty-three who died......"

"As long as I live, I will never forget everything that happened that night. I won't forget the scene when the passenger ship lowers the life raft, and the men give priority to the children and women on the raft. ”

"As far as I know, there has never been a so-called 'rule of the sea' that requires men to make such a sacrifice that they must stay at the end and enjoy the chance to be rescued. They do so only out of the concern of the strong for the weak, and it is the same whether on land or at sea, it is their personal choice. ”

"And we won't forget Captain Kasman, who has been holding the rudder, and Gilbert, the first mate who has been calling for rescue until his death, and their choices set an example for all captains: responsibility is more important than other considerations!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ladies and gentlemen, until the last moment, the captain and the first mate were holding the last line of defense of the ancient but eternally young human values, they held high the battle flag of human spiritual civilization, and no one took a step out of the position of the heroic dream of romanticism, in order to give life to the crew and passengers, the two of them persevered until the last second! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thank you for their sacrifices, it is they who together have kept this value so that humanity can become the most beautiful species in the universe, thank you. ”

After Qin Shiou's eulogy was finished, he bowed and stepped down from the stage, and the people behind him picked up.

When the eulogy for all was finished, the families of the victims pulled a white cloth covering the tall sculpture in the center of the square, revealing a large frigate bird with its wings stretched and diving.

The statue of the big warship bird is two and a half meters high, the wingspan is more than two meters wide, the whole is marble, the carving is rough, the shape is mighty, its head is stubbornly raised, the wings are vigorously expanded, and the feathers on the body are scattered messily, but there is no wolf bèi, only fierce!

Qin Shiou flapped Nimitz's wings and pointed at the statue of the big warship bird, it spread its wings and flew around the statue a few times, and finally landed on the statue curiously and cautiously.

The reporters stood or squatted and began to take pictures in a desperate manner. (To be continued......)
