Chapter 218: Funeral
Ten o'clock in the morning, the Church of the Assassin Brotherhood.
Raymu's coffin was slowly carried into the church by six Mentors, and all the members of the Assassin Brotherhood stood up and stared at the coffin draped in the Brotherhood flag.
The flag of the Assassin Brotherhood was a triangle with a hypotenuse of 30 degrees, with a semicircle at the base and two water chestnuts protruding from either side.
The flag of the Brotherhood is very special, but it is a great honor to be draped over the coffin after death.
Liang Ye, who had been attacked as he set out, was already standing in the crowd, and after contacting a private intelligence agency to find out who had sent the attack on him, he went straight to the Assassin Brotherhood.
In fact, he still hasn't been able to determine if the Assassin Brotherhood wants to kill him.
They don't have that reason, but there's no guarantee that they won't do it.
So Liang Ye didn't tell them about the attack he had just had, but just attended the funeral with a serious face as if nothing had happened.
Claire was in the first row of seats, and her mom was standing beside her.
After all, both of them are members of Lei Mu's family, and apart from the elders of the Brotherhood, only two of them are qualified to stay in the first row.
Liang Ye stayed in the second row, staying with the students of Lei Mu at the beginning; Except for Liang Ye, all of the people in this group were members of the Brotherhood.
entered the brotherhood for training, and in the end, there were really very few people like Liang Ye who did not join the brotherhood.
Under everyone's gaze, Lei Mu's coffin was slowly placed in front of the church's pulpit.
After the six Mentors of the Assassins stepped down, Nicholas, the Grand Elder of the Assassin Brotherhood, slowly stood up.
He was dressed like everyone else today, and everyone present was dressed in Assassin Brotherhood costumes except for Liang Ye.
I don't know, I thought it was a religious ceremony.
Nicholas, as the Grand Elder and one of Thundermu's old friends, of course had to come to the stage to preside over this funeral.
This is not just a formality, but also a respect for Lei Mu.
When Lei Mu's son Lei Yi died in battle last time, he did not enjoy such funeral treatment.
After death, honor endures, and Remu is one of the top Assassins of the Assassin Brotherhood; As an Assassin Mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood, he deserves this level of respect.
When Nicholas came to the stage, he waved his hand and motioned for those present to sit down.
Then, he organized his words for a moment, and then said in a heavy tone, "Today, we are saddened to come here to pray for the soul of Master Reimu............
Nicholas speaks English, and Liang Ye learns English very well; He speaks as fluently as Shenzhou, so he can understand Nicholas's words without any pressure.
The funeral was somewhat like a Catholic funeral, and Liang Ye was also attending for the first time; But he didn't pay much attention to it, and now there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
On stage, Nicholas was still talking, and everyone present listened attentively.
After telling the story of Remu, Nicholas took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "When others blindly pursue the truth, remember ......"
"Nothing is in vain!" The fraternity members in the audience shouted.
"Remember when others are bound by moral laws......"
"All is possible!"
"We serve the light in the darkness......"
"We are Assassins!!"
The last sentence was deafening, and even Liang Ye couldn't help frowning.
The tenets of the Assassin Brotherhood, like the beliefs of its followers, are always kept in mind and will not waver.
Of course, Claire's mother, Helen Ray is an exception.
She was the only member of the Assassin Brotherhood to change her faith, though she was no longer a member of the Brotherhood; She has left the Brotherhood and is no longer an Assassin.
Helen's change shocked even the elders, no one could have imagined that she would become like this, her change was even more exaggerated than Claire's.
The Assassins' faith remained unchanged, but Helen now wore the cross every day.
Liang Ye, as the most unique of all the people present, seemed so out of place compared to the others.
The whole audience was dressed in a stabbing service, but he was wearing a black suit.
But these are not the point, and the uneasiness in Liang Ye's heart is getting stronger and stronger.
He had always trusted his instincts, and although there was a slight error in his instincts in the morning, that didn't mean he wouldn't believe it anymore.
With Nicholas' old voice still echoing in his ears, Liang Ye subconsciously glanced up at the Great Elder Nicholas on the stage, and then turned his head to look at the door of the church.
At this time, the doors of the church are closed, and sunlight can only penetrate through the shutters of the church.
Liang Ye subconsciously took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, but the notification bar of his mobile phone was completely blank, without any information.
"On behalf of the Assassin Brotherhood, I would like to thank Mentor Thunderwood once again for his efforts; Now, I would like to ask his granddaughter, Lei Ling'er, to come up and say a few words. ”
With that, Nicholas glanced in Claire's direction, then stepped off the stage and returned to his place.
This seems to have been arranged a long time ago, and Claire, who has always been timid, did not panic again this time, but took a direct step onto the stage.
But being watched by so many people, she was still a little nervous.
Almost subconsciously, Claire glanced in the direction of Liang Ye, and Liang Ye, who was filled with uneasiness, tried to squeeze out a smile in Claire's direction.
Liang Ye's smile played a role, Claire calmed down, and took a deep breath before speaking: "For most people, Grandpa is the mentor of the Brotherhood, the strongest assassin ever. But to me, he's just a kind elder. ”
"When I was little, my parents were busy; My grandfather served as a mentor to teach the Assassins, and many times he would come to accompany me. ”
Claire speaks in English, after all, her mother is British, so English is considered her second mother tongue.
And most of what she said was the memories that Lei Mu left her.
Claire didn't shed tears, and just told it quietly, as if she was telling a story with a normal heart.
But Liang Ye, who saw her last night, knows very well what kind of mood she was in last night.
As for what mood she is in now, Liang Ye doesn't know and can't guess.
"I remember someone once saying to me that life never ends, and that death is just another life."
Speaking of this, Claire's eyes gradually dimmed, and she paused for a moment before continuing: "I hope so, if this is true, at least my father, my grandfather, they will meet in another world. And one day, I will be able to reunite with them. ”
Her tone was calm, but those present heard a hint of sadness.
At the end of the day, she's still sad.
Lost his father, lost his grandfather.
Claire is indeed a girl full of sorrows.
