Chapter 35: Monroe's Funeral
Looking at the card inviting himself to the funeral, Eddie frowned.
After seeing it, Erin said with a worried face: "Eddie, don't go to participate, you went out because of the duel, and as a result, Monroe died, and his family will definitely put the matter on your head." ”
Eddie was silent for a moment and said, "I have to go." ”
"Why?"
"I didn't kill Monroe. Besides, if I don't go, I'll be a thief. And, I would also like to know the attitude of the Clark family on this matter. ”
Erin nodded: "Then I'll go with you." ”
"No, if there's danger, it's all their people. We will be very passive. ”
Erin was anxious: "It's okay, I don't want you to bear all this alone, besides, I've learned three magic now." I have the ability to protect myself. ”
Seeing that the other party insisted, Eddie said, "Okay, then you will follow me then." ”
The location of the funeral was the cemetery in the west of Nance City, although the Clark family had a lot of influence in Nance City, but when a junior died, some high-level leaders of big forces would not come, but just sent a representative to attend.
There are many classmates and younger brothers who usually have a good relationship with Monroe from Nance College, and the teacher who came is Darwin, the head of the grade, after all, it was the betrayal of the academy teacher who killed Monroe, and the academy must set an example, and Monroe died of not yielding to black magic, so he can be regarded as setting an example.
When I arrived at the cemetery, a drizzle fell over the cemetery, I don't know if it was rain or water magic, which added a poignancy to the cemetery.
At this time, the cemetery was full of middle-aged men and women dressed in black, and there were also many teenagers and girls of the same age or younger than them.
Because they were attending the funeral, Eddie and Erin also put on cool-toned coats.
As soon as Eddie entered, he was watched by many members of the Clark family, discussing something.
Eddie clasped Erin's hand. Let her not be afraid, and walk with her to Monroe's tombstone.
In front of the tombstone, a wealthy middle-aged woman was kneeling on the ground crying, it looked like Monroe's mother, and behind her stood a tall man with a sad face, who should be Monroe's father.
At this time, Darwin walked to the tombstone and said to the crowd: "Monroe Clark's death is inseparable from the negligence of our Nansi School of Magic, here, on behalf of our academy, I apologize to the Clark family." Then Darwin bowed slightly to the crowd of friends and relatives.
Then he said: "Monroe Clark has extraordinary magical talents, and he is the top student of our magic academy, not only can he be jealous of talents, but his talent is also valued by the Dark Arts Church. He died young. But his sacrifice is commendable, and he died for justice. Now, we, the students of the Nance School of Magic, bow to Monroe Clark in turn. ”
Hearing Darwin's words, Monroe's father's face became slightly better, and he nodded in agreement with what Darwin said.
One by one, the students walked up to Monroe's tombstone and bowed, then turned to leave, and just as it was Eddie's turn, a heated discussion began on the Clark family's side.
"If it weren't for him, my nephew wouldn't have died!" said a middle-aged woman with a hateful face.
"That is, maybe this matter has something to do with him, in case he is a spy who specializes in strangling the genius white magician. ”
"yes, what qualifies him to stand here, we don't welcome him!"
Just when everyone was disagreeing, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Shut up!"
The crowd stopped talking because the voice was spoken by Monroe's father, Cottonn Clark.
Then Ketton said angrily: "Today is my son's funeral, can you be quiet! The cause of the matter has been investigated, it was Monroe who was killed by the black magician, and he has nothing to do with Eddie George, he is also a victim, you insulted a person who came to mourn him at my son's funeral, it is disrespectful to my son!"
The crowd couldn't refute what they said, because Eddie, the father of Kerton, didn't blame him, and it didn't make any sense for them to make any more noise.
Eddie glanced at Keton, led Erin slowly to the tombstone, bowed symbolically, and whispered: "You are dead like this in this life, I have nothing to say, forget it this time." If there is an afterlife, I will ask you to settle that account. ”
Monroe sent people to attack Eddie and the others, which is true anyway, and Monroe did take two charms to duel Eddie. Whether he used the two spells at every turn, Monroe had the heart to kill Eddie. This is unforgivable.
Eddie's bow was merely an endorsement of Monroe's bravery in the dark arts. At least for the moment, he was right.
After Eddie and Erin stepped down, Eddie's father found Eddie.
For this man, Eddie wondered why such an elegant middle-aged man as Cuton had raised a son as squishy as Monroe.
Keton walked up to Eddie and asked slowly, "Do you think I'm going to blame you?"
Eddie immediately thought it was amused and said, "You don't have the right to blame me. It was Monroe who sent people to attack me and my girlfriend first, and it was Monroe who wanted to kill me after he had two spells. He just made the right decision at the end of his repeated mistakes. And all this, I caused it?"
Keton's face did not change at all, and said: "I don't blame you, Monroe has come to this point and I am inseparable from my usual coldness towards him, if I cared about him a little more, he might not be like this." ”
Eddie didn't speak, motioning for the other to continue.
"All the while, I was busy with the family business and rarely asked Monroe. Monroe has always been his grandparents, and he has developed such a character when he was pampered by his grandparents since he was a child. His grandparents also died at the hands of the Dark Mage, and since then, Monroe has become even more cunning. And I don't bother to care about him, I hurt him!"
Hearing this, Erin put her face on Eddie's body.
No wonder Monroe was reluctant to join the Church of the Dark Arts, there was such a thing.
Eddie looked at Cuton and said lightly, "It has nothing to do with me, but I will kill a few more dark mages for those who are persecuted." ”
With that, Eddie took Erin and turned away.
Cutton sighed and left.
After leaving the cemetery, Erin asked Eddie, "Eddie, did you say Monroe deserves to die?"
Eddie was stunned for a moment, and said slowly, "From my point of view, he deserves to die." Because he tried to hurt you, I would have killed him even if the Church of the Dark Arts hadn't killed him. Maybe you think I'm cruel because of this, but you are my bottom line, and those who touch it die. Fortunately, he picked a more dignified way to die. ”
Erin was touched by Eddie's words, looked into Eddie's eyes and said, "I don't think you're cruel, just like I didn't think so when you killed both Guise and the black-robed man." Because whoever you kill, there is a reason why you deserve to die. ”
Eddie smiled and walked with Erin towards Nance City.
"Erin, let's go for a walk. ”
"Good ......"
