Chapter 54: Funerals and Rituals (Part II)
The funeral that is now taking place is really just a simple burial ceremony, the process is simple and takes a short time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shilinya stood on one side of the path of the temple and watched as her mother's coffin was carried by the soldiers to the center of the temple, while the bishop of the temple began to recite the scriptures with the book in his hand.
Listening to the bishop recite the scriptures took up most of the time of the ceremony, and during this time, no one present was allowed to show any irritability or impatience, which would be considered disrespectful to the deceased.
After the lengthy recitation of the scriptures, the priests began the final step before burial – opening the coffin and giving the deceased their final blessings.
A rough palm rested on Shilinya's shoulder, and Shilinya turned back, this person was now Shilinya's guardian knight, Denton.
"I had a bad premonition. When Shilinya's gaze fell on his hand, Denton immediately made his thoughts clear to the other party.
Shirinya, who was just wearing a white dress today, could easily feel the trembling in the other party's hands, and through the thin clothes, she could also feel the sweat caused by the other party's current nervousness.
Shilinya gently took the palm of the other party's shoulder away, and in the past few days, Kane's worries slowly appeared in his brain. Is there really something wrong with his mother's coffin?
His eyes slowly moved to Kane, who was not far away, staring intently at the coffin in the center of the temple, but leaning his head sideways to the side of Alain, who kept whispering to the other party.
In Shilinya's eyes, Alain's expression slowly became serious and cautious.
The sound of the coffin grinding resounded in the vast temple, and the well-designed temple turned the friction of this sound into an echo that reverberated in this vast temple.
The sound of the coffin grinding caught Shirinya's gaze, and her half-squinted eyes took in every detail of the opening of the museum.
Bang dang!
Both the priest who was in charge of removing the lid of the coffin and the bishop who was reciting the scriptures took a few steps back, unable to believe what they were seeing!
"Templars!" the bishop shouted around the temple after a brief moment of distraction.
Alain, Denton, and Kane rushed forward before everyone could fully react. Almost at the same time, Shilinya, who was bound by the clothes on her body and limited by her own weak physique, was much slower than the other three, but it did not prevent Shilinya from taking the situation inside the coffin into her eyes.
"Empty!" Shirinya's mind went blank now, her pupils constricting to indicate what kind of mood her master was in right now.
The Templars were constantly rushing to maintain order in the arena while searching the crowd for possible undead creatures. The sudden change made the crowd at the scene inevitably stir, and they were afraid that the corpse of the Duchess who had disappeared would appear next to them and take their lives.
In the history of the continent, there has been such a vicious incident, the necromancers and vampires of the Fredion Church, sometimes the corpses that have not been buried are specially treated, and when the burial is carried out to open the coffin, a large number of clergy who have little to no close defense ability will be killed.
But now the situation is that the priest is fine, but the body is gone. The crowd who calmed down quickly noticed that things were abnormal, what was going on now?
Shilinya leaned over to examine her mother's coffin, and she had a faint impression of everything inside, because she had placed her mother in the coffin. Shilinya immediately discovered the anomaly of the coffin - it actually blessed several gravitational barriers!
The temple had now been thrown into chaos by the sudden situation, but it was surprisingly quiet in the small room on one side of the temple, and the many noisy sounds caused by the temple were blocked out by the soundproofed walls, and the purification ritual that should have taken place inside was not carried out, but the other side of the wall did not notice this strange phenomenon.
More than a dozen priests formed a circle, and their eyes were blank, like a stake, nailed to the ground, motionless. Priest Adam, who had just answered Kane's question, was no exception, the only difference was that he did not form a circle like everyone else, but stood with his back against the only gate that went out, like a faithful sentinel.
"It's very lively outside!" Kayla was in a circle of clergy, her hands outstretched, and she kept spinning back and forth in this circle.
Now Kayla has changed her previous expression, and her pupils are almost constricted into pins, telling the biggest change in this person now, and her exaggerated and distorted smile has completely destroyed the girl's original cute cartoon side.
"How do you feel as a person now? Neulki!" Kayla stared at the woman who had led her in with her eyes that had been detached from the human realm.
Roshan's godmother had taken off the hood and veil from her robe, revealing her original face, her long golden hair was scattered behind her at will, her purple eyes were without the slightest emotion, like dead muscles, and there was no trace of emotion on her face.
If Shilinya were here, she would know where her mother's body had gone.
"It's really envious to have a good carrier. Kayla looked at the woman in clerical clothes in front of her with great interest, but through the disguise, Kayla was able to identify the other person as her acquaintance.
The god of knowledge and learning, Nulki, is one of the most unlikely deities to come to the El, as the other party is more interested in learning and digesting the knowledge gathered by his apostles than in the El.
"You're not bad, at least a few grades better than the previous inferior products. Newleki, dressed in Alicia's skin, looked down at the little girl, and his mechanical language could not discern the attitude of the other party at this moment.
"But it hasn't grown up yet, and the owner of this body is very disobedient. With a twisted smile, Kayla looked up at Newerki, the child's innocence completely vanished from the other person's face at this moment, except for a twitch that seemed to be muscle uncoordinated.
"I don't have much to do with you, but I want to remind you that your new believers are dying in the West right now, you know?" Newleki pinched the girl's twitching skin with his white fingers, and the stiff feel made her withdraw her outstretched fingers in a boring way, "This critical period is attached to a container that has not yet grown, must have something drastic happened?"
Kayla's writhing muscles were not only on her face, but also on her body, and now the little girl was like a twitching machine that was about to break, as if it was going to be scrapped in the next moment.
"One of my new apostles is a scourge, and now she not only smashed the idols of Gabrian and Leverdeon and others, but also called them the old gods, and boasted of me as an omnipotent being, but fortunately she was not stupid enough to provoke Sefrod, otherwise I would not have been able to talk to you here. Kayla explained to the other party the main reason why she was here.
The angry words have already revealed the mood of the demon possessed on it in the eyes of the other party.
"So, if you have anything to say, just tell me quickly, I don't want to waste the expiration date of this rare container in a conversation with you!" Now that I can't beat the other party, I can only hope that the other party can make a request sooner, finish speaking early, and leave early, "I think it's definitely related to the book of your apostle, right?"
"You guessed it. Newerki answered the other man's question in his own distinctively mechanical voice, wriggling his little head as if to examine something on his body.
"Your body is still very immature, and it seems that you won't last long. He withdrew his hand and let go of the other man's deformed head, which was already convulsing, "I want to find Desain, I think Desain must have a container near here, right?"
"It's funny, what is it that Disain, who only eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, gets involved in something terrible?" the pin-shaped pupils gave a curious gaze, "I'll tell you......"
The closed door was violently opened under several impacts, and the priests, who were reciting scriptures, turned their gazes to the Templars who rushed in, as well as Alain and Shilinya.
"What about the godmother?" Alain asked everyone present, if it weren't for Kayla intact in the view, Alain would never have asked the other party without any physical altercation like he is now.
"Lord Duke, no godmother has been here. ”
