Chapter 60: Funerals and Celebrations
Early morning.
Many familiar faces appeared at the funeral of the comrades-in-arms. The lord and his steward Provantus, the priests of Ginareth, Akai and Talos, and even the two families of Warmad and Greymane, who were usually incompatible, stood together peacefully. The White Eagle had also returned to Xueman a day earlier, and out of its closeness to its kind, it had decided to make its home under the eagle statue in the Sky Forge of Furnaces.
"Your Lord, you're here too?"
"Whenever I was faced with a dilemma, I would seek the advice of the Prophet, and Krako had given me a lot of guidance over the years, and my father had been greatly favored by him. His death is a loss to his comrades, a loss to Xueman, and a loss to me. ”
Facing everyone's gaze, Lord Balguf expressed his regret and regret for Krako's death. I nodded in agreement as I cast my eyes on the pyre in the coal pit – the funeral had officially begun.
"Before the Flame of the Ancients......" Erlund Greymane recited the first eulogy in a solemn voice. As the steward of the Sky Forge today, he is in charge of Krako's funeral ceremony.
"We swear." The crowd bowed their heads and clenched their fists in their chests, following the blacksmith's words and roaring in harmony.
"For the ...... of the Dead"
"We cry."
"...... to the horizon"
"We roared."
"To comfort the ...... of the dead"
"Let's keep fighting!"
I set the pyre on fire with my breath. Smoke rose and the flames of death broke through the dark curtain and swirled into the sky, and the sound of thunderous explosions continued to reach everyone's ears.
Lord Barguf recalls Krako's bravery and wisdom and his great contribution during his lifetime; The descendants of the war maniacs plucked the strings in their hands and sang true and sad ballads to bid farewell to this kind and wise elder; Virgina Greymane also remembered the experience of fighting and adventuring with him, and he didn't know that the surging tide of the road would haunt the old man for a few more winters, and he was about to be summoned by Shure.
Everyone expressed their feelings of remembrance, and stepped forward one after another to throw the firewood and grass they had brought on their own trip. The skull melted, and blood splattered from the exploding wound on the chest; Tongues of fire danced merrily, and the flames were about to devour the bones of the warriors.
In the past, he fought bloody battles and proved his bravery and ability in countless trials of life and death. In old age, he no longer raised his sword and shield, but passed on his understanding of the nature of glory, and finally traveled to the kingdom of Shure without any worries.
Farewell.
……
Krako is gone, but the old group of comrades will live on. In the underground chamber of the Sky Forge I was listening to the other three discussing the future of the Brothers-in-Arms.
"I propose that the moon be the new prophet." Ella was the first to express her opinion, "This is the old man's last wish, and his strength and honor prove that he has this qualification. ”
"If someone had told me a few months ago that an outsider I had never heard of would be in charge of a group of comrades, I would have cut his throat. But I know your potential, I've heard about the expectations and trust Krako has placed in you, and I'm eternally grateful for all that you've done for us. Moreover, you have brought honor to Krako, even after he is dead, thank you. ”
Wilcas had been deeply troubled by wild blood in the past, and my help had undoubtedly given him a new lease of life. He quickly gave an approving opinion and reminded his brother to speak with his elbow.
"I didn't expect you to be a pioneer one day, but if Krako has high hopes for you and everyone trusts you, so will I."
The vote was unanimous, and all three looked at me, ready to announce the final verdict of the Ring to me, but I preemptively gave them a disappointing response.
"Thank you for your approval, but I refuse. I don't have the qualifications to lead a group of comrades. ”
"For what?" Wilcas thought this was my excuse, "You have completely eradicated the wild blood that has plagued the Brothers-in-Arms for hundreds of years, and your contribution to the Brothers-in-Arms is enough to go down in history!" ”
"I've only been one of you for a month in secret, and after a series of events, now only the three of you are really willing to trust me, and the Brothers-in-Arms is a large group. Perhaps in your eyes, I have a great deal of accomplishments, but those are all related to Helsin, and some history is not visible after all. ”
I elaborated on the reasons why I could not become a prophet of the Brothers-in-Arms, and the three of them were tempted to argue, but they couldn't find a suitable reason.
"I'm sorry. Not only that, but I am also a traveling scholar and explorer from High Rock, not a pure warrior or hunter like you, and my comrades-in-arms are not my final destination. I hugged the three of them one by one, comforting them, "But that doesn't mean I'll leave my comrades behind, and I'll still fight with you in the future." ”
----------------------------------------------------------
Danica Kiyoizumizumi, the priest of Ginares, met me at the funeral. The Brothers-in-Arms are well-known in Skyrim, and the Prophet's funeral attracts many people from all over Skyrim, so this is also a good time to get the saplings in the ground.
The burial ceremony of the sapling is far more lively than the funeral ceremony of Krako. Not everyone pays attention to the comrades-in-arms, but the Golden Tree has a very high position in the hearts of all the residents of Xueman, who believe that the prosperity of Xueman for thousands of years is inseparable from this golden tree, and even more important than the lord's conscientious governance.
Danica placed the sapling in the dug pit, and I took the sapling to fix it and used my hands to push the dirt back into the pit. Seeing the saplings planted in the soil, the surrounding crowd cheered.
"Do they know the news that the golden tree is about to wither?"
"I told them that Kaneki was getting older, so Kaneki gave birth to an heir and continued to guard Xueman in place of her mother." Seeing my slightly playful eyes, Danica hurriedly added, "The withering of the golden tree must not be said, it will cause great panic among the people. ”
"Of course I understand. You have done a good job of portraying the saplings as the offspring of the golden tree, and even if the golden tree withers in the future, the people will be able to accept this fact with ease. ”
I put my hand on the sapling and looked up. The Golden Tree Square was full of people, and I also saw many acquaintances, such as Gaudier and his aunt, who helped him last time, came to Xueman today to participate in a series of grand events.
Receiving news that the ancestral tomb had been invaded by necromancers, Gaudier's family finally decided to return from the province of Cellodiel. It's been almost thirty years since they left Skyrim to participate in the World War, and now Xueman is no longer human, and Gaudier came to me this time in the hope that I can help the Shirguende family regain their foothold in Xueman, and I gladly agreed to his request - it would be nice to make one more friend.
I smiled and nodded to everyone who looked at me as I averted my gaze, until my gaze stopped on someone I didn't want to see right now.
The owner of the inn in Ximu Town, it seems that his name is Delphine, right? The battle with Somo's team, the communication after Musk's departure, and the last two meetings made such a strong impression on me that I now recognize her true identity at a glance. In front of the public, she did not put on the black clothes she wore when she traveled, nor the civilian clothes she wore when she was at the Ximu Town Hotel, but changed into a set of leather armor that looked heroic, full of chic ranger style.
But her outfit made me extremely irritating in my eyes. What exactly is the mission in her mouth? What does it have to do with me? As for being in such a hurry? I'm in my forties, and I can't feel at ease if I care about this and that. Even if I really need to take on that mission, can't I wait for a while for me to rest and adjust? Pretending not to see her, I continued to move my gaze along the established course.
A red-eyed Brighton man in a robe was smiling at me, and I nodded symbolically to him. Hey? …… Red-eyed humans? In my memory, only the dark elves' eyes are red, and this is because they have been cursed by the demon god Azura. It's just that how can red eyes appear in a human?
Just as I felt strange, an electric shock was felt in my body, and a throbbing throbbed along my left hand all the way to my chest, and finally my heart beat several times with great force. I looked down at my left hand that had been released from the sapling, and it seemed that the sapling had just electrocuted me. Unlikely, where did the static electricity of the plant come from? However, just as I moved my slightly numb left hand, I noticed another surprise.
My little thumb is actually restored?
Sensing that the gaze was still staring at me, I recovered from my joy and raised my head to meet the red-eyed Brighton man's gaze, who waved his little finger at me from afar, and then turned and walked into the crowd and was never to be seen again.
What just happened? An out-of-world master healed my damaged soul? Haven't asked me for any remuneration yet? What an adventure today!

------------ author's words------------
--------------------------------
On the 15th of Frostfall, 4E201, after the protagonist returns to Snowman, Krako's funeral takes place as scheduled, and the burial of the sapling is also timely.
The last chapter of Tomorrow's Snow Manga. In particular, in the new chapter, should the chapter number start with chapter 62 or from chapter 1?
Some readers said that they couldn't use the equal sign to divide it, because he listened to the book with voice software, and every time at the end, the sound of "equal to equal to" would come out...... In the future, let's replace the ending divider with this version.
