Chapter 172: Crisis?
The next day, the gates of the imperial capital were opened. The citizens who had been saving for a long time poured out of the imperial capital like a flood that opened the floodgates.
At the same time, the funerals of Olmedo, Rodriguez and Delgado took place as scheduled. The city is full of vegetarianism, but it seems that the joy of the citizens who seem to be reborn overshadows their grief for the loss of the monarch, and it is more likely that they do not have the monarch in their hearts at all.
At the same time, in the palace, white became the main tone. The ornaments, which usually looked luxurious and exquisite, were removed, and the golden curtains were replaced by white veins.
Wayne also held the funeral of his father with his eldest brother and second brother. Of course this may seem like a violation of penetration, but few people care about those traditions anymore.
After paying homage to his father, eldest brother, and second brother, Wayne rushed to the palace.
The four gilded coffins are the only bright colors in this black and white world. It seems that he wants to extremely highlight the nobility of the identities of the four people in the coffin.
When Wayne came, the people who came to the funeral were already standing at the palace gate. The people also automatically made way for Wayne, who followed humanity to the front row. Count Cologne's face was a little unpleasant, and it was indeed difficult to be lifted by the charter, but he came to attend the funeral. Despite being Olmedo's funeral.
There is also the new Count Boris, who was in too much of a hurry yesterday and obviously did not take a good look at him. At this moment, I found that Count Boris was not like his predecessor, his physique looked thin and thin, and there was a trace of cunning in the corners of his eyes that could not be erased.
The corners of his mouth were also upturned, and it seemed that he was very proud to inherit the position of earl. It seems that the previous rumors of discord within the Boris family are true.
When the time was up, the palace gates were wide open. The three counts led the way.
Under the leadership of Audrey, kneeling neatly and worshipping neatly. It's like a predetermined mechanical movement.
After the officiating ceremony, the coffin is lifted.
Due to the heavy gold decoration, there are many jewels stuffed in the coffin. made the coffin, which was originally a long person, extremely heavy. Ten people barely lifted.
There have been accidents caused by heavy coffins, and the road was slippery due to the recent rain. As a result, the coffin fell to the ground, and the ornate jewels inside were scattered on the street. The crowd of onlookers didn't care who was inside the coffin, even if it was maintained by the city defense army and the guards. But the power of the masses is great, especially in the face of wealth.
The scattered jewels were looted.
The scene was chaotic, and only a few slow thieves were caught.
This not only made the later royal funerals increase the number of troops, but also specially chose a sunny day. As a result, more and more citizens are waiting on the side of the road in the hope of getting rich.
After the funeral, the nobles and courtiers were not allowed to eat meat at home for a week. There will also be a special cardinal who prays for the deceased emperor for three days in the palace. Since the Bishop of Bogdan had previously supported the coup d'Γ©tat of the Four Princes, he has now been sent back to the Papal States. And the cardinal sent by the Papal States has to travel for a few more days. So this time, there was a white-clothed bishop of the lower rank of the imperial capital to carry it out.
Audrey also had a seven-day wake for Olmedo and her three brothers.
Of course, in the middle of the night, Audrey inevitably wept at her father's spiritual position. Wayne blocked the news, though. Audrey is now going to take on the image of an Iron Lady, and being too weak will give opportunities to those nobles who are already uneasy and kind.
After a few days of dull days, the usual days of the imperial capital began again.
It continues to turn into a whirlpool of desires, intrigue.
Time has diluted everything.
There is no sadness, mourning.
The dead have just been buried, and the living will continue to carry the load. Life is a wheel, constantly running over the corpse, and constantly continuing to the next cycle.
Ortunone.
A scholar once came here and said that it was a black world of coal and iron, that the sparks clashing by the stove were like fireworks from hell, that the skin color of every dwarf was one with the mountain of coal, and that the stomach-grinding rum was the favorite of these gnomes.
I don't know what crime this scholar suffered in Ortuno to discredit Ortuno like this.
Because of this sentence, the Rune people are extremely prejudiced against the dwarves, and even the tramp of Rune is clean like a nobleman in Ortunno.
But in Ortuno, on the contrary, the dwarves here also love to be clean, and they usually carry tea and coffee. Where there are no mines, there is also a lot of greenery, and the stream flows quietly from the forest and meanders quietly through the grassland.
Each inquisitor's mansion also strictly followed the beauty of symmetry, employing gardeners to trim the gardens. Just like the nobles of Rune.
The head of Ortuno also received information from the imperial capital.
However, the intelligence pit is not so specific. Basically, the city defense army and the gangsters with priests carried out, and the cannon sound near Aldrin Palace seemed to have the Iron Fist Army mixed in. The streets and walls of the imperial capital glowed blue, and people couldn't move for a while, feeling that life was passing, and the four legions were moving.
The five first-level examiners were confused.
Isn't that magical?
The most important thing is, of course, that Olmedo and his sons are dead, and his daughter Audrey inherits the throne.
The censors of the First Pavilion naturally thought that this was a golden opportunity, and they were worried about the fertile fields east of Rune.
The third-level censor Thorin, who had been in Rune for a long time and had met with Wayne at the same time, was also summoned. However, now Ei-Ai is called the second-level examiner.
Thorin was also confused when he saw the information, which might be the fantasy of some writer with a not-so-brilliant mind.
Nor was he able to analyze the information.
But if you don't invade Rune, he can still give advice.
"You're saying that the current situation just can't invade Rune. Why?"
A Level 1 examiner sitting at a long table asked.
Thorin sat below, looking like a prisoner who was being interrogated by the five censors. It made him a little uncomfortable. Moved his butt twice to ease his emotions.
"Yes, Judge Marl. I think that if we attack rashly, we will only lose more. β
"Oh, explain your reasoning. β
"If we attack, first of all, Nolan will cut off the artillery trade with us, and secondly, we will also lose good quality steel. By the way, the high-quality steel provided by Nolan can be forged by us and sold for a high price in Rune. We made a lot of money from it. Secondly, I think that the new Queen Rune will definitely support Jonathan and the Duke of Langton. β
"Why?"
"I've been with Audrey and Wayne in Rune. Audrey seems to trust Wayne and is said to have just gotten married, albeit a rough one. In other words, the current Empress Rune will take Wayne's advice as a reference. As far as I know, Wayne was never afraid of war, on the contrary, he was very good at winning war. β
