Chapter Seventy-Three: Changing Seats

After a while, there is a square in front of you, which has been decorated with many white tones. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 A number of tables and chairs on the info square are arranged in multiple columns in order, leaving only the middle avenue out, and the tables and chairs are also pin with white flowers and white cloths, all of which show the mourning for the deceased. The avenue was already paved with white flowers, and the path of flowers led to the depths of the palace, and there was a mourning hall in the open area before entering the inner palace gate, and banners were everywhere, and all kinds of words of remembrance were written on it. Our group was led to a table and chair in the middle, where we mourned in silence like the others next to us. The seats next to it were almost full, and they should all be dignitaries from the city, or representatives of other towns like us.

After a few minutes of silence, I couldn't help but peek ahead. In front of it is a tall and elegant mourning hall, and directly above the mourning hall is a huge statue of a god, which is fierce and vicious to all the people in front of the spirit. Underneath it is a huge coffin, with a heavy black coffin outside, carved with various patterns, hoping that all the gods can bless the soul of the deceased. The coffin was not sealed, and half of the coffin on it was still unsealed, and the body of the old city lord lay quietly inside.

In front of the coffin, there were many people kneeling upright, including old men with gray hair and children who had just learned to speak, all of them wearing linen and filial piety, with sad expressions, and weeping and convulsions from time to time. But when I walked around, I found a strange person. It wasn't so much that I found out, but that the outfit didn't fit in with the environment next to me and jumped straight into my sight. Although this person knelt there, he still looked quite tall, which showed that his figure was very tall and powerful. What's even more strange is that he was dressed in military uniform, and he was covered in dust, as if he had just returned from afar. And he was motionless, completely in contrast to the screaming and crying and convulsions next to him, which anyone could see.

"Hey, don't look around," Steven's eyes were closed, his mouth moving slightly, "Wouldn't you be a little sad? ”

I made a silent protest in my mouth, but when I squinted at the guard next to me, my eyes kept wandering, and I was so frightened that I quickly closed my eyes, and my face pretended to be painful, and I was silently thinking about many unpleasant things in my heart.

Well, why do you think there's a little hand pulling at my sleeve? I opened half my eyes and saw that Catherine had moved next to me at some point, and was gesturing to me. She pointed to herself, then to the front, and then to me. What does that mean? She went to the front and let me follow? Or did she want to? I don't know at all, it's much harder than you draw and I guess.

"Cut, stupid, you don't understand so obviously?" Catherine couldn't help but complain when she saw that I was still for a long time, "I want to see what is going on, but I don't dare, you go and take a look, come back and tell me." By the way, what does the old king look like?"

You spare me, just me, who has no ability and no status, can come here to be regarded as stained with the light of you and your brother, and let me go to the front to have a look? If I am considered to be a person with bad intentions, there are many masters in this palace, and I can't have enough heads! I looked embarrassed, so I could only shirk and say, "Miss, don't worry, I guess we will all go over to see the body later." ”

"Really?" Apparently Catherine didn't expect to get closer, and her voice couldn't help but be a little louder, "That's going to have to wait until ... ”

Before he finished speaking, the white ghost spoke, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't talk! Don't look where it is, and it's not in your own house, don't make trouble for me, don't hear?"

"I know, I just want to see what the king of this empire looks like, what a fierce one!" Catherine was a little dissatisfied, but she also knew the severity, and muttered softly before she was silent.

After a while, an old man dressed strangely, dressed in various necklaces, with a scepter in his hand, appeared in front of the mourning hall, muttering to himself about the corpse in the coffin, occasionally reaching out and dancing for unknown reasons.

"This sacrifice belongs to the Stone Worship Sect with the largest number of believers in the Kaishi Empire, which believes in the power of nature, and believes that the power of nature is gathered in various treasures and ores in a regular way, you see," the white ghost raised his head slightly and gave me a target, "The necklaces on his body are made of various ores, and they believe that these powers can lock the souls of the dead, so that they can be imprisoned in a certain area, from other harms, and believe that they can die in the future!"

I couldn't help but ask, "Are they warlocks, and what elemental powers are they learning?"

"Hehe, there are all kinds of ores, you don't see what he wears, and his neck is not afraid of being bent. So, they are all admired by the power of all kinds of elements, thinking that they are all natural forces, and they can all be believed. This is also an important condition for the widespread development of their followers. ”

"I see," I thought of my Master Grimm when it came to church religion, so I took the opportunity to ask, "Are you well-informed, have you ever heard of the Illuminati and the Bright God?"

"What kind of ghost church is this?" the white ghost blurted out without thinking at all, "It should be a money scammer, I haven't heard of it at all." Why don't you call it the Dark Sect?"

Forget it, it is estimated that Master Green is also not small, maybe he is not from this Kaishi Empire, so let's inquire slowly in the future. While I was thinking wildly, the previous ritual should be almost over. The priest no longer jumped around, but held in his hand a container like a wine glass, but it was a little larger, and the surface was also full of patterns and precious stones, dazzling and dazzling, and at first glance it was not ordinary.

The priest slowly walked up to the kneeling crowd in front of him, muttered a few incantation-like words, and then walked straight to the abrupt general. There were still words in his mouth, and then his hand was dipped in the container, and some liquid was spilled on his body, and the general in uniform shook his body and bowed three times directly. Then it was sown to everyone else at once, but it didn't seem so grand, it was really casually sprinkled. When he was done, he stood still.

At this time, among the group of people kneeling below, a white-haired old man stood up tremblingly, as if he had been kneeling for too long, perhaps because he was old, and he moved in place for a long time before walking to the front of the coffin with a turquoise cane. After prostrating three times, he turned to face the crowd and said in a trembling but unusually firm voice to all those who participated in the prayer.

"Dear royal clansmen, loyal ministers of the Empire, generals, representatives of tribes and castles, and all those who have come to worship, I am Jarvis Casey, the elder of the royal family. As you already know, Solomon Kayce, our great leader and defender of the Empire, died of a violent illness a few days ago. ”

Immediately after that, the people below sighed and wept again, and the old man couldn't help wiping his tears and waved his hand, "Everyone be quiet, the death of the old king is a disaster for us, but we all have to overcome it, presumably he is also watching you from heaven, watching you can give more impetus to this empire! ”

"Princes, princes and ministers, I, Solomon Kaith, the fifth leader of the Kathy Empire, feel that time is running out. Although he was diligent and did not dare to waste his time, the empire was not yet strong and brilliant, and he was old and infirm, and he would soon die. When he was dying, he felt that the eldest prince Dorne Cashy was brave and good at fighting, brave and strategic, and the state affairs were also well organized. If I die, I will pass on this throne to the eldest prince, Dorne Kahi, and I will die blind!"

It was really passed on to the eldest prince, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, if this was the case, that stinky Sharif would not be arrogant to heaven, no wonder the white ghost and Steven both asked to leave here quickly.

The old man put away the edict, and there was a smile on his tear-stained face, "Lord of Dorne, from now on you are the ruler of the Kaishi Empire, and this thousand pounds of burden will be on your body, please accept the old man's bow!" After speaking, he knelt down.

The uniformed general hurriedly got up and stopped him, and said in a sincere panic, "Uncle, why is this happening?" I am immoral and incompetent, and Wen Taowu is not very good, how can I maintain the burden of this empire?"

In this way, the two men excused each other several times, and later, at the request of the guards and soldiers of the entire square, the general-uniformed general took the edict in tears.

"Wait! I don't agree!"
