Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Funeral
Passerby A: "Did you hear that?" The green skin was destroyed. ”
Passerby B: "Of course, who doesn't know about such a big thing now!" ”
Passerby C: "Hehe, it's a good job, a group of things that don't have a son have a good name, and they grabbed land with us a while ago!" ”
Passerby A: "I heard that it was done by swords and roses." ”
Passerby C looked confused: "Where did the sword and the rose come from?" It was able to destroy the green skin. ”
Passerby Ding also came over: "Hey, I know this, Miss Doom just founded, Miss Doom knows, right?" It's the bounty hunter who was famous a while ago. ”
Passerby A broke another big news: "More than that!" It is said that the Dragon-Slayer Gang was also destroyed by them. ”
Passerby B and Passerby C were dumbfounded: "Who is this Miss Doom?" can actually destroy two major forces in a row. ”
Passerby A's face was full of mystery: "You forgot, the sword of death was rumored a while ago." ”
The passer-by, who has always been calm, is not calm anymore: "Isn't that a rumor?" ”
"What a rumor! It really can't be more real, it's the deputy leader of Sword and Rose. ”
Thinking of those rumors, several people fell silent, and they all faintly felt the coming storm.
……
Lu Yang walked down the street, and heard similar conversations one after another.
There are even more detailed versions, and the whole ins and outs are clear, and some details are unknown to him.
There are also magic revisions.,The love-hate entanglement between the protagonists can be called heart-wrenching.。
Regardless of the version, it all expresses a meaning, either explicitly or implicitly: the powerful Sword of Death, united with Miss Doom to form Sword and Rose, to challenge Planck's position as the king of the city.
When Lu Yang got up in the morning, even the members of Sword and Rose were quietly discussing the truth of this matter.
Some of their faces were full of excitement, and many more were worried. Planck's prestige has long been ingrained, and he has only recently carried out a purge of those who resist him, slaughtering the stinking corpses on the docks and silently telling the terrible consequences of resisting him.
Fortunately, the rumors are only rumors and have not yet caused a massive panic within the gang.
Lu Yang and Sarah did not explain this.
If you really want to say it, the rumors they made up are not wrong!
Perhaps these people were just trying to push out the sword and the rose and better block the gun for them, and made up a reason that Planck could not tolerate. However, by mistake, they happened to hit Lu Yang's true purpose - to kill Planck and push Sarah to the throne.
Although the name of the Sword of Death is already known to everyone, no one recognizes Lu Yang when he walks on the street.
Lu Yang is very famous now, but not many people know what he looks like, and even if there are some rumors, most of them are untrue. For example, there is a description that reads: tall, horned, wearing tattered robes, and burning with green flames...... When he heard it for the first time, the corners of Lu Yang's mouth twitched, isn't this a hammer stone? How outrageous rumors should you have to spread yourself like this......
Some well-informed people may know that Lu Yang would often carry a huge dark wooden box on his back.
However, he only brought one Emperor Zhu Sword with him today, and the other three were all left at home, and the only conspicuous sign was gone.
The sky was a little overcast, and the clouds were huddled together as if God had knocked over his own inkwell.
The air is stuffy, the wind is hot, and the salty smell of the sea water makes people dizzy.
"It's going to rain." Lu Yang quickened his pace.
Now, he's going to the funeral.
That's the first thing Sarah dealt with today.
Actually, it's not a funeral, and Bilgewater doesn't like that, to be precise, it's a burial ceremony.
In Bilgewater, the dead were not buried in the ground, but returned to the sea for a water burial.
Lu Yang soon arrived at White Harbor.
White Harbor is called White Harbor because every inch of the ground here is covered with white guano.
This sea is the cemetery of the dead.
There is a thick layer of scum floating on the surface of the water, which is the result of thousands of corpses under the water for many years. On the sticky water, there are many reliefs, ranging from simple wooden boards to intricately carved sea monster sculptures. The body of the deceased hangs under each buoy. The rich were put into expensive and elaborate underwater coffins and hung under lavish buoy tombstones, while the bodies of the poor were often gathered in a pile and tethered to old anchors and hung under leaky barrels.
There are rows of iron coffins on the shore, and in front of each iron coffin, there is a buoy engraved with tentacles to show off the sea monster. These were purchased and made overnight last night by Sarah, and although they are not luxurious, they are also properly high-class configurations.
With ample Golden Siren as the backing, this kind of thing that can enhance the sense of belonging of members by spending money, Sarah did it without a trace of reluctance.
There were more than 100 people who came to see them off, most of them were family members and friends of the deceased and members of Sword and Rose, and a few were pure spectators.
The scavenging seagulls seemed to sense the abundance of fresh carcasses below, their green eyes salivating and hovering above their heads, making occasional wails.
Lu Yang walked over and nodded at Sarah.
"Didn't get in trouble, did you?" She said softly.
"Nope." Lu Yang shook his head: "However, we are famous this time." ”
The corners of Sarah's mouth curved slightly: "Everyone wants us to be famous, but we can't go out." ”
Lu Yang also smiled.
Indeed, how many people want to be famous, but they can't do it after working hard for a lifetime, but they are pushed by others, and they are famous all over the city. When it is seen by people who don't know, I don't know how envious it will be.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yang asked, "Is Planck moving?" ”
"Nope." There was some helplessness in Sarah's eyes: "After the other forces began to target them, his power was shrinking, but Planck himself showed no signs of showing up. ”
"What the hell is Planck up to in mind?" Lu Yang fell into deep thought.
The scene was quiet for a while, and intermittently some people joined the funeral procession, infected by the atmosphere, and the arrivals were solemn and silent.
About half an hour later.
Sarah took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "These are all heroes who died for the gang, the gang will not forget their contributions, and I promise that their families will be best cared for by the gang." Now, let's see them off. ”
Dozens of people walked out of the crowd, picked up the heavy iron coffin, and threw it far into the sea.
A large splash was made on the surface of the water, which turned into a string of bubbles.
The scum on the surface of the sea slowly gathered together again, leaving only dozens of newborn buoys to swing gently, indicating who was buried underwater.
After standing silently for a while, the crowd began to leave.
