Chapter 80: Don't Weep at My Grave
A burst of bagpipes rang out, and Isara, dressed in a black gauze dress, added a handful of earth to each new grave. The Night Elves cut through the mournful crowd and sang in a low Elven voice.
At the edge of the cemetery, Cheng Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his cheeks with his fists, and he could listen attentively. Old Dawson sat aside, listening with his eyes closed.
"What is this song about?" Cheng Xiaotian asked softly.
Old Dawson did not answer, but sang the same tune in the lingua franca (human language) to the sound of bagpipes.
Don't weep in front of my tombstone
I'm not there, I'm not sleeping
I turned into a bitter wind
Skim through the snowfields of Northrend
I am gentle rain
Wheat fields that nourish the western wilderness
I am the dawn of silence
Spread through the forests of the Valley of Thorns
I am the majestic drum
Fly over the clouds of Nagrand
I am the silent star
Dotting the night in Darnassus
I am a singing bird
Remain in a beautiful world
Do not weep at my grave, I am not there, I do not sleep......
Listening to it, Cheng Xiaotian finally couldn't hold it back, covered his mouth, and choked hard.
The sound of singing, flutes, wind, and choking is mixed into a thick silhouette, frozen between heaven and earth.
Who said that men are not reluctant......
I don't know how long it took, the funeral ended, and people comforted each other, bowed to Cheng Xiaotian and left silently. Cheng Xiaotian Mumu looked at the grass and never looked up.
In the withered yellow grass core, a little new green was clearly drawn.
I don't know how long later, a man ran in the distance, shouting as he ran, "My lord, my lord."
When it became clear that it was Barton Jr., old Dawson frowned.
Running to Cheng Xiaotian's side, Little Barton also realized his gaffe, quickly took off his hat, bowed deeply to the cemetery, and after maintaining it for 3 seconds, he got up and put on his hat, and said to Cheng Xiaotian with apologies: "I'm sorry, my lord, something happened, and you need to deal with it personally."
"Is it that the orcs have another military operation?!" Old Dawson asked quickly.
"No, no!" Little Barton was taken aback by his words, and hurriedly explained: "There are two adventurers who made trouble and were controlled by us, but they were not convinced, and threatened to sue us, and we didn't know what to do, so we had to come to ask you."
Cheng Xiaotian and Old Dawson glanced at each other, and at the same time got up and walked towards the village, this time the battle adventurer contributed a lot of effort, but he couldn't deal with it sloppily.
Passing through the residential area, life here has been basically restored, and from time to time there are goblins with strange instruments doing field exploration. In fact, the design team of the venture capital company had arrived three days ago, and now that the survey is nearing completion, the design plan should be available soon.
At the end of the military zone is a barracks that once held Vanessa, but this time it miraculously survived the war and is now used as a reception for the outside world. To put it bluntly, it is to collect people's heads and give rewards......
When Cheng Xiaotian arrived, there were two groups of people arguing inside, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
"You don't believe what you say!" Far away, Cheng Xiaotian heard an angry shout from the house, and the voice was a woman, and it was weird and good.
"You are murder! I didn't tie you up immediately, I was already restrained! There was another male voice roaring in the room, Cheng Xiaotian was very familiar with this voice, but he couldn't call his name, only that he knew that it was a member of the Knights of the Falling Star.
Bang dang!
The door was pushed open, Cheng Xiaotian stood in front of the door, and the room was immediately silent, and everyone looked at him.
"Boss! Do you still know me? I'm Rhona! A female dwarf reacted first, and ran to Cheng Xiaotian's "feet" excitedly, twitching her delicate mini nose, and her big eyes were immediately covered with mist.
"Your men are bullying us...... Two weak women...... ......"The female dwarf Rona is crying, and Cheng Xiaotian is about to cry, what else can I do like this?"
But he really knows this Luo Na, the first time they met at the Adventurer Hotel in Nanhai Town, they left a deep impression on him, and this time, she is still firmly occupying the runner-up of the "head list", just this, can she be a weak woman?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Cheng Xiaotian quietly bypassed Luo Na and cast a look at the knight who insisted on arguing with them until now, the meaning was obvious, it was difficult for you......
"Your Excellency." The young knight's face was bitter, and he said in a lamented voice, "The priestess brought two human heads to receive the reward, but one of them is human, what do you think I should do?" ”
Only then did Cheng Xiaotian notice that there was a young human female priest standing in the corner, looking at him timidly, a little at a loss.
After a while, the female priest seemed to have made up her mind, raised her head to meet Cheng Xiaotian's gaze and said, "My lord, when you offered the reward, I was next to you, and I heard it clearly, you were talking about an enemy head for 10 gold coins, not an orc or a troll. ”
Cheng Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Is there a difference?" ”
"Absolutely." The priestess was determined, grabbed a cloth bag at her feet and threw it on the desk, and said, "There are two enemy heads here, one is an orc and the other is a human, please fulfill your promise." ”
"What's going on?" Cheng Xiaotian looked back at Old Dawson.
Old Dawson nodded and said, "Young Master, it's been some years since the orcs robbed your territory, and it is true that a small number of humans have joined the orc army, and we locals call them ...... Elves. ”
When Cheng Xiaotian heard this, the gloom just now suddenly disappeared, and he almost didn't laugh, there are traitors here? It's actually called a puppet army......
"But, Lord Dawson, how can a human head tell if he is a puppet army?" The young knight was unconvinced.
"It's simple." Old Dawson simply walked over to his desk, untied the bag, and took out the human head for demonstration.
"For orcs, humans look the same, and it's hard to tell them, so they will brand their names and serial numbers behind the ears of the puppet army to make them easy to identify." Old Dawson said, and broke the left ear of his head, only to see a row of small characters on the back of the ear.
Eddie Murphy 14 down
"His name is Eddie Murphy, the Fourteenth Garrison, and he's still a corporal." Old Dawson shook his head with a look of disgust, raised his hand and threw the head into the wooden barrel that was dedicated to collecting human heads.
"Give her money." Old Dawson waved his hand.
Suddenly, the figure around him flashed, and he saw Cheng Xiaotian pounce on the wooden barrel, grab the human head and run out.
"You're busy, I still have something to do, so you don't have to come with me." The voice came, and Cheng Xiaotian had gone far away.
The people in the room were inexplicable.
Suddenly, the light dimmed, and Cheng Xiaotian appeared at the door again, looking at the desk with round eyes. The cloth bag on the table was spread out, and an orc head was exposed.
Old Dawson followed his gaze, and his brow furrowed. He knew this man all too well.
It's just that the warriors of the past are now left with this soulless face......
"You killed this person?" Cheng Xiaotian frowned and asked the female pastor.
The female pastor was furious by his staring, nodded subconsciously, shook it vigorously, and finally simply mustered up the courage to tell the truth: "My lord, when I found him, he was already dead, and he should have committed suicide." ”
"Oh......" Cheng Xiaotian nodded, pondered for a moment and said to the young knight: "Double her bounty, and then, bury this head, and give him a sign, his name is Ulu." ”
