Chapter 1097: Friends Reunite

Throughout the day's mourning ceremony, many ministers were still unable to leave the palace.

However, archmages such as Lin An do not need to follow the etiquette exactly, and after attending the first day of mourning, they can not appear again for the next few days.

The legend follows the principle of escapism and does not appear in public, so the pentagram does not appear in the memorial ceremony, and only returns to the underground ruins after a brief bow before the ministers enter the temple.

Michelle had to stay under the nose of the pentagram, and she was so small that the Saxon simply let her attend the morning mourning, and then Michelle was absent from the later mourning on the grounds of illness.

I didn't really do much during the day, and most of the time I listened to the Minister of Ceremonies read out the emperor's exploits during his lifetime.

Because it is mixed with many poems and beautiful chanting rhetoric, at the end of the day, I have not read a third of it.

This is also part of the posthumous mourning.

Even the archmages of the Hidden Inheritance didn't feel like a waste of time.

Abraham the Great's life has influenced the entire Merlin Empire, and even the Muses, and his life exploits can be said to be true history, embellished by the rhetoric of ceremonial officials, full of ups and downs, and moving.

The hermit has been absent for a long time, and there is hardly this kind of experience of being involved in history, and several masters, including Grant, have said that they plan to come to the mourning service tomorrow.

"Even those of us who have lived for hundreds of years have never met a few British rulers in our lifetime. The funeral of Abraham the Great can be regarded as an important part of our time, and we are honored to be able to attend his funeral. ”

Master Grant did not seem to be polite, he sighed:

"The life of ordinary people is so short, and there are very few great men who can leave a glorious mark in history like Abraham the Great."

"It's a pity that my two disciples can't participate, otherwise, this is also a rare opportunity to witness history."

Lin An didn't understand much.

In her eyes, death is the end, no matter how famous it is in the annals of history, it has nothing to do with the dead after all.

Of course, it may also be that in the last period of time, because he was too familiar with the emperor, Lin An could no longer symbolize him like outsiders and regard him as a part of the epic.

"You're still young." Seeing Lin An like this, Master Grant smiled gently, "When you really go through the time and practice, you will understand." ”

"Maybe."

Lin An still doesn't understand men's pursuit of glory and fame.

What epic wars, what legendary emperors, for her, only means the past.

The past cannot be changed.

may be because she was born as an orphan, Lin An's goal is only in the present, focusing on her life, she has not thought about what will happen after death, including what she does now, is to work hard for survival, not to be famous.

Yes, maybe Lin An is participating in history, but she doesn't have a sense of mission to create history, and she has always only had the pressure of survival.

It was in this situation that the sudden collapse of the emperor and the mourning of the whole country made Lin An's brain suddenly feel something and think about the afterlife.

If she had fallen in the Demon Calamity, probably not so many people would mourn her death.

Lin An was slightly disappointed, but he didn't regret it.

She has trusted close friends, who have left her trajectory in this world, and experienced wonderful ups and downs in life, as long as there are still people who can remember her and miss her, this is enough.

Life is so great and so short, and it is not ridiculous to fight for what happens after death in life!

Back at the Earl's Palace, there was an unexpected surprise waiting for Lin An.

"Andrey!"

The young mage with thick eyebrows and big eyes stayed in Lin An's study, and walked to the balcony after hearing Lin An's movement back to the house, Lin An saw him from a distance in the courtyard, and flew directly onto the balcony excitedly.

"Long time no see, Ann."

Andre stepped forward in two steps and hugged Lin An with outstretched arms.

The action seems to be very strong, but when touched, it is very light, and it is released with one touch.

Lin An was a little surprised.

Then she immediately noticed that Andrei was wearing a pair of gloves as thin as cicada's wings on his hands.

His aura was restrained to the extreme.

However, even if he was extremely restrained, the natural power on Lin An's body still repelled Andre's negative energy.

If the two sides are not close friends, but strangers who meet in Pingshui, such a clash of opposing forces is enough to make each other draw their swords.

Noticing Lin An's gaze, Andre subconsciously closed his hand.

In fact, except for the eyes that are slightly bewitching because of the change in eye color, there is no difference between Andre and normal people.

But Lin An understood Andre's mind.

Seeing the gloom in his friend's eyes, Lin An remained silent and took two steps back.

She rested her left hand under her right elbow, propped her delicate chin with her right hand, tilted her head from side to side, and looked at it earnestly.

Andre quickly regained the tacit understanding of the travels, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stood up straight cooperatively, sideways his face, and asked Lin An to take a good look.

"Strange, you seem to have grown taller!"

Raising his hand to compare the altitude, Lin An found that this was not an illusion.

"One of the benefits of the transformation is that my ability to control and adjust my skeletal muscles has improved a lot, and I can now turn into another face right away, believe it or not!"

Lin An raised his eyebrows, looking incredulous.

I've only heard of necrosis of the undead's facial muscles, but I've never heard of those who can transform into disguises.

- Well, if the flesh on your face is so rotten that you don't even know your own mother.

The musculoskeletal beneath Andrei's skin began to move, and there was a gabba gabbling sound of bones dislocation.

Hearing this, Lin An frowned, and his face was sour.

In just a dozen breaths, Andre became three inches shorter, becoming a handsome young man with an aristocratic temperament, his facial features changed greatly, and his waist circumference lost more than three inches.

"Oh my God, that's amazing!" Lin An exclaimed.

It's comparable to the effect of a disguise spell.

But the disguise spell can be detected, and Andre can't.

Andrei's hair color and eye color did not change, just a little change in his bones and muscles, and he became a different person.

Is this a racial gift?

Lin An muttered in his heart.

“…… But, Andrei, you've been adjusting this appearance in private for a long time! ”

Lin An couldn't help but complain.

Yan Kong really hasn't changed at all!

How much does Andrei resent his ordinary level of appearance?

Andrei's face is difficult to dismantle.

"Isn't it pretty?"

"It's not bad, but I'm not used to it!"

Andre touched the back of his head, smiled, and regained his original appearance.

After a bit of laughter, it completely diluted the depressed mood of the emperor's mourning director, and Lin An felt as if he had returned to a few years ago.

The mage apprentice dreamed of the archmage realm, but in retrospect, it was still relatively easy back then, and there were too many things to worry about now.

"When you have time in the future, you must study your physique carefully." Lin An no longer shies away from the problem of Andre's physique.

"With your current busy schedule, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in ten years."

Andre also calmed down, stretched out his arms, leaned back, and put on a posture of being ravaged by the king.

Lin An glanced at him, "By the way, what about Shiryl?" Why didn't she come along? ”

"She and I are not all the way, and we should be on the road now, three days at most." Andrei asked, "As soon as I entered the city, I heard that the emperor had died, why was it so sudden?" ”

Now that Pompey is under martial law, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit at will, and Lin An does not ask how Andre came in.

The curse of divine punishment and the death of the emperor were all last night's events, and she gave a rough account of last night's events.

Andre originally crossed his fingers behind his head, pillowed on velvet cushions, put his legs on the armrests at will, put down his hands when he heard the words, his relaxed posture gradually changed back, and said with a solemn face:

"So, from now on, the demons may invade the Muse Continent at any time?"

Lin An acquiesced, spreading his hands, "His Majesty Gucci asked the crown prince to reduce the funeral procedures and ascend the throne within ten days, and the Saxon agreed. ”

Andrei looked indifferent.

Because of Lin An, he didn't have a good impression of the Merlin royal family, especially the men in the royal family.

"For the sake of Merlin Xianjun, shouldn't you actively prepare for war at this time, why do you still hold any funeral!"

"The crown prince has been summoning important ministers in private, and the one who appeared at the funeral was a stand-in most of the time."

Lin An had to clear his name for the Saxons, "The funeral is still necessary - the emperor's attitude is the vane of the nobility, and the nobility is the pillar of the people's hearts, if the Saxons show the slightest panic, Merlin will immediately be in chaos." ”

Regarding his funeral, the emperor had already left a suicide note.

He even presupposes that the demon invasion happens to coincide with his death, and if the situation is really bad, he will simply avoid the funeral.

Now, even if the funeral is held, the emperor asks not to enter the mausoleum, but directly cremates him, and the ashes are left to be scattered into the river during the swearing-in ceremony, so that the emperor's soul will be turned into a heroic spirit, and the army that shelters Merlin will be invincible.

However, the emperor's decree was not read out publicly until the last day of the mourning.

Lin An knew that the emperor also left a suicide note for the Saxons, the Empress, and the Pentagram, which even included Lin An.

The suicide note was sent to Lin An near the beginning of the mourning, and Lin An hadn't read it yet.

But even if she didn't look at it, she could roughly guess what was inside.

It is said that everything is closed when people die, and the successive deaths of the Odin couple and the emperor did make most of Lin An's resentment against the royal family disappear, and when the emperor was still there, Lin An would not explain to the Saxons in front of Andre.

Of course, Andre noticed the change in Lin An's attitude, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "It seems that the newly recruited little disciple is very popular with you, love the house and Wu!" ”

"Are you ashamed to worry about children!" Lin Anbai said, "Seeing that he, a little guy who is less than twenty years old, wants to support such a huge empire, am I embarrassed to continue to trouble him?" ”

Andrei pursed his lips and said nothing.

Suddenly, without warning, Lin An's face changed.

"What's wrong!"

Andrei's face tightened.

Almost at the same time, his right arm erupted with a powerful coercion, seemingly restrained, faintly making Lin An feel no less than legendary, fleeting, and immediately retracted after Andre was shocked.

Lin An felt it, but didn't bother to ask.

"The divinity has been induced!"

She spat out a few words.
