Chapter Ninety-Five: The Second Funeral
It wasn't an undead attack for no reason, nor was it a revenge organized by ordinary necromancers, after the battle, Delphi dismantled the doll that had changed beyond recognition, and found that there was a demon heart as the core inside this doll. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This was an attack closely related to the jihad in the west, and if nothing else, the other side's purpose should be to attack the rear bases and interfere with the logistical supply of the Crusader forces on the front line.
These things were all analyzed by Dalefield for Shilinya, but Shilinya did not deal with this information for the time being, because now there was a more important matter waiting for her.
Denton was killed in battle.
The cause of death was severe burns that had not been treated in time, but the other party had killed the raging fire elemental before the signs of life were completely lost.
In less than two months, two funerals were very uncomfortable for Shirinya, and these two people were the closest people in the other world, and the people who took care of them the longest.
Denton's funeral was attended by very few people, and none of them were relatives of the other party.
Except for Shilinya, the others were not too familiar with him.
The funeral attendants were Leander, Turis and Delfil, the first two of whom were more familiar with Denton, because before coming here, they had a series of festivals with Denton in the imperial capital of Midor, and Delfil only accompanied Shilinya.
But to Shirinya's surprise, among the people who came to the funeral was the spy leader Carol.
In the face of Shilinya and the surprise and puzzlement of everyone else, Carol just smiled faintly: "Last night, I had a close cooperation with Sir Denton, and speaking of which, he and I are also close comrades-in-arms. ”
Comrade-in-arms, this word appeared in the mouth of this person, and everyone present felt very strange, because the other party and Denton did not seem to have any intersection.
I don't know how these two people came together, this is the question of everyone present. At the same time, Shilinya also feels very jealous of the other party, a person who can do tricks or conspire on someone she knows at any time and knows nothing about it, is very dangerous.
The funeral continued, and then several more seriously wounded or lightly wounded soldiers came, these were the castle guards who had besieged the fire elemental with Denton last night, and these were veritable comrades-in-arms.
The small funeral was presided over by a middle-aged godmother, who is now the vicar of the Church of Leverdeon - the original bishop has gone to the front with most of the church's armed forces and priests.
The vacancy of armed personnel at the Church of Leverdeon and the Church of Garvian was the main reason why last night's fighting was so long and difficult.
Open the coffin blessing.
When the coffin was opened, Shilinya saw clearly how fierce and brutal Danton's battle last night was.
The whole face had been burned black, and the heavily dehydrated face was now dry and thin, a face that Shilinya could only see on the ghouls in the tombs.
The hair had been completely burned, all the muscles on his body had disappeared, and now all that was left was the exposed red and black skin, which clung to the bones on his body, perfectly outlining the skeleton of the other party.
Looking closely at one of the most familiar people, Shilinya could also see that the other person's hand was still holding a sword hilt that had been burned and bent, and it seemed to have been burned to the point that it had completely merged with the other person's body.
For a long time, Shilinya thought that Denton was an invincible existence, just like a dragon arrogant protagonist, but she didn't expect that the other party was now defeated by a fire elemental, and she was defeated so badly, and her body was incomplete.
Elemental creatures are an unsolvable puzzle for warriors.
The lid of the coffin was closed again, and with the cooperation of the priests, Denton's coffin began to be placed in the place where it had been dug up.
The bishop spoke all kinds of blessings, each of which was the true words of the gods, and every one of these mantras was so positive and optimistic, but Shilinya was still silently weeping.
Warm tears crossed his face, pulling out a small crystal mark. Shilinya lowered her head, not letting others see her current appearance, and her hands that had been hanging down did not make any movements, but the sobbing movements from time to time still let people know how Shilinya felt now.
Shilinya's appearance was seen by everyone, but the people present only comforted them with a few words.
Because many of the people present were not familiar with Shilinya, and besides, everyone present now had their own work to complete. The task of recovering and rebuilding from the inexplicable Great War was very difficult, and it was now necessary to resupply the troops on the front line.
Everyone left the field to attend to their work, and the public cemetery of Raffedion did not become sparsely populated, for Denton was not the only one who died in the battle.
Shirinya, who was constantly suppressing her sadness, suddenly felt someone pull her into a warm embrace, wrapped her hands around her neck, and finally crossed her shoulders on either side of her.
"Dale......" Shilinya didn't need to look back to know who was giving her physical warmth.
"It's okay, just cry if you want to. Dale gently stroked Shilinya's shoulder, as if he wanted to ease the other party's emotions in this way.
"No, it won't. Knowing that her crying was not hidden from anyone, Shilinya stopped doing these things to hide her ears and steal the bell, quickly wiped the tears from her face, and tried to become confident and optimistic.
"Uncle Denton told me when I was a kid that I couldn't cry, because if I cried, it wouldn't look good, and if I cried, someone would bully me. Tears still swirled in his eyes, but they didn't overflow, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously and pulled a smile with difficulty.
The smile is not good-looking, and the constant twitching of facial muscles often spoils such an aesthetic.
"Shilinya, so you have to stick to ......," Dalefil silently listened to Shilinya's description, and Dalephil, who was holding the other party's neck, began to shake involuntarily.
The slight shaking made the two look like tumblers connected together.
"Kayla, are you alright?" Suddenly, Shirinya realized that she had a person she had almost forgotten about and had not confirmed the other's situation.
Thinking of Kayla, Shilinya immediately became anxious. Although her cheap sister still quarreled with herself yesterday, Shilinya didn't take it to heart, she didn't tolerate it at all, so how can she get along with each other.
Kayla was still a child, and she didn't have the slightest ability to protect herself, and she was just a fish on a chopping board to be slaughtered in the face of last night's situation.
"Kayla is fine. Dalephil comforted the other party's emotions first, lest Shilinya get too excited.
Shilinya's feelings for this sister who has known her for less than a month, Dalefield saw it in her eyes and knew the weight of this girl in Shilinya's heart. Fortunately, what Delfil was able to give the other party was good news, otherwise Delfil wouldn't know how to say it.
"Gilly, the maid, protected Kayla when she arrived last night. Dalefield slowly recounted a brief story to Shirinya, "Kayla is sleeping now, and Gilly knocked her unconscious in order to prevent Kayla from doing anything drastic - I guess, because Gilly was badly wounded in the battle last night, and there was a very large wound to the heart, almost fatally, but the other party survived tenaciously. ”
When she heard the news of Kayla's safety, her heart finally fell, but the news that the maid named Gilly was able to protect Kayla from danger made Shilinya feel very unbelievable.
"Is Jiley very powerful?" Shilinya asked uncertainly, all along, Shilinya just regarded the other party as a beautiful and dutiful maid, and she didn't expect that the other party would have such strength, and she would be fine if she suffered a fatal injury to her heart.
"I don't know, I think the other party must have extraordinary strength or skills to be able to come from Nekov to Anjitan alone in the winter when the roads are blocked by ice and snow, right?"
"Take me around, I might be able to heal the other man's wounds!" Shilinya immediately pleaded.
Last night's battle took a very heavy toll as many of those who did not react died under the knife of the undead and became the souls of the undead, and those who reacted suffered heavy casualties because of the lack of unified command.
The wards of the Church of Leverdeon were all full, and many of the remaining wounded were evacuated to the castle.
As a member of the castle, Gilly was not placed in the church, but placed in the castle alone, and a separate room was also arranged to be taken care of by independent personnel, all of which showed how much care the other party was taking care of now.
Shilinya was surprised when she saw this girl once, this girl was now only purple with long purple hair and delicate face exposed, and her body was wrapped in layers of gauze like a mummy.
Shilinya's gaze fell on the small mountain peak to the left of the other party, where the gauze was still a light red, and the heavy gauze was soaked with blood, Shilinya finally knew how fatal the fatal wound described by Dalefield was.
"Isn't it possible that the heart has been gouged out?" Shilinya said her own conjecture, if her conjecture is true, then it is no miracle that the other party can survive.
"The heart is still there. The church therapists on the side immediately rejected Shilinya's conjecture.
"But the hearts were all badly misaligned, and the heart was fatally hit. ”
