Chapter 166: Funeral Preparations
Soon, Viscount Orin also came to the manor, along with his three sons and many of the city's guards.
Walking out of the main house with Knight Egger, in front of a row of corpses in the front yard, Li Xuan saw a gloomy Viscount of Orin, and his three sons with ugly faces and uneasy faces.
It was the first time for all three of them to see so many corpses, and although they were covered with brown burlap, they still felt very uncomfortable.
Walking up to Li Xuan, Olin said with a heavy face, "Master Li Xuan." I'm really sorry that something so big happened to Carloston, and I heard Boris say that six people died at the estate, and I would like to express my deep condolences on behalf of Carloston. In the case of these people, the Home Office will contribute funds to compensate their families. ”
Li Xuan said calmly: "Thank you." ”
Olin continued: "This matter, the Department of Internal Affairs will definitely investigate it clearly, give an explanation to these innocent dead people, and also give an explanation to Master Li Xuan." ”
Looking at Orin, Li Xuan nodded slowly and said, "Knight Egger has found some clues, there are still three living assassins in the manor, and a group of elves who tried to enter the manor last night to steal. These people will be given to you together, and the corpses will also be taken with you. ”
Orin was a little surprised when he heard the elf, but he quickly nodded, and then gave orders to the people behind him, and soon the corpse was dragged away by many carts.
It was soon dawning, all the bodies had been cleaned, the blood on the ground had been washed away, the lawn and some bush leaves had not been spared, and Boris and all the servants had cleared the yard of all the traces of the previous night's attack, and those places seemed to have been rained, and there was no trace of blood.
After dawn, many people who heard the news came to the manor one after another, and under Li Xuan's orders, they were all blocked outside the manor by Boris, including Vivian.
This made Vivian very unhappy when she heard the news, and what made Vivian even more unhappy was that Mage Lilian, who came to the manor after her, entered the manor without being hindered. But soon after Viscount Orin came out, Vivien was unhappy and had no choice but to be taken into the carriage.
When he saw Lilian coming, Orin just said goodbye to Li Xuan and left.
"Good morning, Lillian. Li Xuan nodded to Lilian, who looked concerned, and said.
"Good morning, teacher, I heard about last night's incident. Lilian said worriedly.
"The incident happened suddenly, and several guards and craftsmen didn't have time to react and dodge in time, so the accident happened. Li Xuan said with some understatement, he didn't want Lilian to worry too much, after all, she had just experienced a kidnapping before.
Hearing Li Xuan's words, Lilian sensed that he didn't want to talk more about it, so she nodded and stood quietly beside him, no longer making a sound.
Seeing Lilian's well-behaved appearance, Li Xuan sighed and wanted to reach out and touch her head, but as soon as his hand was raised, he immediately took it back again.
"Rushed over in the morning?" Li Xuan asked Lilian as she looked at some messy hair.
Lillian nodded.
"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so come and have some with me. Li Xuan said to her.
Lilian smiled slightly, and replied, "Okay, teacher." ”
Li Xuan smiled and walked towards the restaurant, Lilian following closely behind him.
When the maid saw Li Xuan and Lilian entering the dining room, she lowered her body and asked, "Sir, please wait a moment, breakfast is ready, so go and get it." ”
Li Xuan nodded to her, and sat down with Lilian, and the maids quickly brought breakfast one by one.
The two people who didn't have much appetite didn't eat much, and left the restaurant, and the three people in the manor from last night, as well as a group of elves, were handed over to Orin, and the knight of Egg also left the manor and went to the Grand Chamber of Commerce to investigate.
As soon as he left the restaurant, Boris came over.
Li Xuan looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, Boris?"
Boris saluted and said, "Pastor Vivich is here, accompanied by some monks and priests from the temple, and I have already arranged for them. ”
Li Xuan nodded when he heard this, the funeral in this world is slightly the same as in the previous life, but it is completely different from the funeral in the country where Li Xuan used to be.
Whether it is a commoner, a businessman, a nobleman or a royal family, their funeral process is similar, the difference is that the scale of the funeral will be a little different. When Li Xuan was in Stanlini Castle, he once read a codex, which recorded the funeral of a commoner.
First of all, after death, priests and monks would remove the clothes from the deceased and wash them to remove the sins of the deceased. After the corpse has been washed, it will be dressed in the corresponding clothing, and the common people are mostly loose earthy brown robes with hoods, which means earth, which means the death of the deceased.
After washing and dressing, the body is carried to the temple for mortuary, where priests and monks bring their relatives and friends to pray for their memorial service. After entering the coffin, the relatives and friends of the deceased will be asked to say a short goodbye in front of the wooden coffin in batches and send white flowers with the meaning of the deceased, this process will continue for a long time, after all the relatives and friends have said goodbye, the monk will seal the coffin, and then carry it to the tomb for burial.
Whether it is praying or saying goodbye, all relatives and friends need to control their voices, not to cry loudly, only to cry silently or choke quietly, and try not to disturb the rest of the deceased.
During the burial process, after the coffin is lowered, relatives and friends will gently sprinkle a small pile of earth on top of the coffin, and finally the monks and priests will make a final farewell prayer, then fill it in with the earth and erect a cross. In the end, everyone left the scene one by one in the dark gold.
Li Xuan saw in that codex many cultural similarities between this world and his previous life, and he also saw a slight difference.
After a moment of silence, Li Xuan slowly said to Boris: "Go and inform their families as soon as possible, and then choose a few better cemeteries for them." ”
Li Xuan's mood was a little depressed again, and he explained again: "If Knight Egger comes back to the manor, tell me as soon as possible." ”
"Yes sir. Boris looked at Li Xuan's expression and nodded heavily.
After finishing speaking, Li Xuan turned to look at Lilian and said, "If you don't mind, accompany me to read a book for a while." ”
Lillian nodded obediently.
Li Xuan smiled reluctantly, then walked up the stairs to the third floor, and looked at the town from the balcony on the third floor, not knowing what he was thinking.
