.”

In the middle of the convoy, Fisher, who was wrapped in the secret blessing of Azanrose, suddenly stopped, and no one around noticed his movements, so the convoy moved forward little by little, and saw that it was about to enter the church with the "Valentina Gift".

Only Emhart, who was in Alicia's arms, seemed to notice Fisher's movements behind him, and he quickly poked his head out quietly and asked in a small voice,

"Fisher, why didn't you leave all of a sudden?"

Alicia, who was being carried by the servant, also noticed Emhart's voice, but turned around and still didn't see anything.

However, Fisher in front of him still didn't seem to hear it, and turned his head in a daze to look at the golden chariot that was driving into the outfield not far away, or Elizabeth in the chariot.

"Oh, I forgot that his rank was restored under that god's blessing, and he should be able to hear me."

Emhart gave a "tsk" with a headache, but now that there were all people around him, he couldn't boldly fly out of Alicia's arms to talk to Fisher, so he had to let Alicia make some small gestures to attract Fisher's attention.

"Is Empress Elizabeth coming?"

After a moment of silence, she suddenly stopped, and deliberately asked the servant beside her, and she did not suppress the volume of her voice, and let Fisher, who was almost not down, come back to her senses.

"Yes, Miss Alicia, you have seen Your Majesty before."

"I don't like that big sister."

"Oops! You must not say this nonsense, and how good Your Majesty is to the Nari people, I, a Schwali, envy me. Now all the Nari people respect and love her, don't talk nonsense later! ”

These servants were all hired by Willelli from Schwali, and even in their homeland, far from this place in Schwally, they had heard of Elizabeth's name, not to mention that after coming to a place like Chitl in the backwoods, there was not a single one who had been to St. Nari and returned from Saint-Nari who did not sing the praises of Empress Elizabeth, and even began to hang her portrait in their homes.

Now this naïve little guy dares to say that if there is any chaos later, it will be over, which is why they are so admonished at this moment.

Alicia nodded stunned, and Fisher stepped forward behind her, and Emhart heard him whispering questions.

Fisher sighed and pointed to the gift cart next to them, Emhart had just been in Alicia's arms, and now through Fisher's point, he had made Alicia go a little way, and the next moment he saw the aggressive words.

"Shhh

He gasped, and even his voice almost couldn't suppress the question,

"Valentina is here?!"

"Shhhhhhh I don't want to think so, but it seems that this is possible. As Keken told us earlier, the slimes haven't been in Nari for a long time, and that Keken is still working for them, and that Valentina, as their nominal leader, can't be unaware that I'll be coming to the funeral."

"Ah, with that girl's affection for you, plus Elizabeth's high-profile announcement that she is going to come in person"

Emhart pursed her lips, and then squeezed into Alicia's arms with some creepy, and muttered while squeezing down and pretending to be dead,

"Oh, wait for your death, Fisher. I still remember when Valentina in the North had not yet turned into a phoenix, she and Elizabeth had been air-to-wire through the communication magic of the Nari Hidden Bureau, and now it's okay, it's still at your teacher's funeral! ”

“.”

Fisher was also a little helpless, but he didn't want his affairs to affect the funeral process of Mr. Haytham anyway.

He didn't want to deceive his teacher and destroy his ancestors to the point that even the teacher's funeral would become a battlefield for his face-to-face showdown, if that was the case, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Fisher looked at the gift cart in front of him, and probably had a little idea of solving it in his mind, and he hurriedly came to the back of the gift cart while he had a secret blessing, and said to Emhart,

"You go in with Alicia first, and I'll get rid of this dangerous item and come back. By the way, it would be better if you could find Valentina first. ”

This gift cart was prepared by the guests beforehand, just waiting to be delivered by the servants this morning, and this kind of thing rarely has a single type of gift, so it is very easy for Valentina to put this thing directly into the convoy and let the servants bring it in.

But the key point is that these gifts were originally gifts for Haythami's relatives, even if Elizabeth was the empress, she obviously had no right to check these condolence gifts for their family, so Valentina must take the initiative to let her send this "big gift" in front of Elizabeth, then she herself or whoever traveled with her would definitely go to the place where the gifts were stored.

Now all Fisher had to do was quickly get rid of it, and then go to the place where the gifts were stored to find Valentina first, at least until the funeral was over

The plan has been formed, and driven by the desire to survive, even if Fisher's rank has been secretly restored to a mortal at this moment, he still seems to be extremely resolute.

Before Emhart, who was in Alicia's arms, poked his head out to say something, Fisher had already cut off the gift cart from the front of it, and dragged Valentina's gift cart out of the convoy.

With the secret blessing of his influence, there is a long delay in influencing anything, and he has already experimented with other people's hats on the train.

Now, when these fellows find out that he has pushed the gift cart away, I'm afraid that all the gifts have already been put in it, and it is hard to say how many people remember it at that time, otherwise how could such a gift so aggressive to the empress who worships the Nari people be pushed in by the servants.

Watching Fisher fight hard for his life, Emhart also sighed helplessly and muttered,

"When did Valentina's little girl talk like this. Hmm, damn it? Could it be that after sleeping in the ice egg for four and a half years, the Phoenix Bloodline awakened and possessed the aggressiveness that matched the rank? It's weird."

"Mr. Shu, what's wrong with the big brother?"

"Oh, it's nothing, he has something to do, you just get used to it, this kind of thing happens from time to time."

"Huh?"

Alicia didn't know what Emhart meant by "a little thing", but when she heard Fisher move away, she suddenly felt uneasy about what was about to happen in the church.

Perhaps this sense of unease has always been there, whether it is the reconfirmation of his grandfather's death or the disgust of his sister Valely

But now that she's here, if she hasn't been eaten yet, she can only continue with her head.

She hugged Emhardt, who was disguised as a book in her arms, and soon entered the meeting hall of the church, where she was led to the front of the church by the servants.

After deciding that this place would be used as the venue for Haytham's funeral, the engineers of the Golden Palace made a complete renovation of the church within half a month, and instantly made an obscure country church meet the specifications of St. Nari's Episcopal Church, at least the current prayer hall can easily accommodate hundreds of people.

At this moment, the huge prayer hall of the church was already overcrowded. The neatly arranged rows of chairs were filled with dignitaries, scholars, and officials from all over the country, and on the other side were foreign friends, colleagues from the Magic Society, the president of the World Magic Society, and the presidents of various branches

Several archbishops of the Church of Nari and their families, the papal envoys of Kado, the royal envoys of Schwali, and even the northern kingdoms in the midst of the storm of the sycamore trees sent envoys in their busy schedules.

But even these celebrities, who were well-known in their fields, looked humble in front of the eyes of the old man sleeping in the crystal coffin under the loving gaze of the statue of the Mother Goddess. They entered the church in silence, and were given seats by the guards of the Golden Palace without corresponding names, and occasionally spoke a word or two, and the rest mourned in silence.

But sit in the front row of all the seats, where each position has its corresponding name, and it should be the place closest to Haytham and the most noble person.

Counting in order, first of all, the current dean of the Royal Academy, Mr. Damian, Haltyn's granddaughter Valely and her husband, Haltham's granddaughter Alicia, the Empress Elizabeth Godlin of the Empire, and .

The location of Haythal's only disciple, Fisher Benavides.

"Miss Alicia, we're here, please take a seat."

"Okay."

Alicia pursed her lips and looked nervously at Emhart's eyes at the large people sitting behind her seat, and after the servants led the petite girl into the room, they all fell silent for a moment, as if curious to see what the granddaughter that Haytham had adopted five years before her death.

And at the front, before Queen Elizabeth arrived, Damian, who had a white beard, wore glasses, looked at the little girl in front of him carefully, and finally squeezed out a smile,

"Little Alicia, remember Grandpa Damian, we met when we were kids."

"Remember, thank you for coming to visit Grandpa and seeing him for the last time."

Alicia still remembered when she was a child, but she remembered that her grandfather often exchanged letters with the grandfather in front of her, and knew that he was a close friend of his grandfather, so she said so.

Yes, the last one. Sit down, your place is next to your sister. Are you still learning Haytham magic before, and you still have a book in your hand. ”

"Hey" Alicia was afraid that Emhart would be discovered, so she hugged him tighter and said with a slight pause, "Well, because. Because I miss my grandfather so much. So."

She wasn't very skilled at lying, but apparently, Damian didn't tell if it was a lie or not, because Alicia's thoughts about Haytham weren't fake.

And beyond Damian, the eye catches the eye of the sister who is nestled in her husband's arms and pregnant with Rokka, Valely.

Her own eyes, red from crying, looked at her with undisguised resentment and hatred, because she knew that it was the child in front of her who was picked up by her grandfather who killed her grandfather. Although a hundred years old should be considered a joy and mourning for a human being, she remembered how this little devil in human skin did such evil things at night.

Like a madman, she attacked animals and people with knives, and the expression of swallowing blood in her stomach and savoring and analyzing it will never be forgotten by Verelli. In order to stop her, Grandpa couldn't bear to use magic, so he reached out to stop her, but she cut him with a knife

It was since then that Grandpa's body began to deteriorate day by day, obviously he was so energetic before, but in just one year.

It's all to blame on this monster in front of you!!

But at this moment, it was a funeral after all, and even if there were thousands of resentments in her heart, Willelli didn't show it, she had vented enough on weekdays.

She just glanced at Alicia resentfully, then snuggled into her husband's arms and closed her eyes, and even the position that had been sitting next to Alicia was reversed, allowing him to separate herself from her.

Alicia pursed her lips, feeling her sister's pure malice, and she was just five years old, looking extremely helpless.

But she didn't say anything, just silently walked to her place, and after sitting down, she glanced at the two places beside her, which were the positions of Queen Elizabeth and the eldest brother.

However, didn't Grandpa say that the big brother might not come back in a bright future? Why is there still a place for him here?

Not only was little Alicia puzzled, but Damian, who was sitting next to her, had obviously noticed this when she came in, so she frowned and asked Valely's husband,

"Why is Fisher's location here too, and is he back?"

"Hey, you're saying, we don't know. His Majesty asked us to do this, and he didn't interfere with the funeral process, that's why "

"Your Majesty?"

Damian was slightly stunned, and when he heard that Elizabeth had arranged it, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He felt a little guilty about Fisher, who had helped Elizabeth seize power, but he had not expected to force Haytham's only lover to escape from Nari in desperation, and he had not returned for five years, even after Haytham died.

Well, now Your Majesty is doing this for.

Damian couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, but he could only silently pray to the Mother Goddess, praying that Elizabeth would not do anything out of the ordinary at Haytham's funeral, otherwise.

"Your Majesty!!"

"Her Majesty the Empress is here!"

At this moment, there was a tsunami of surprise or admiration from the mountains behind him, and when the people sitting in the front row turned back consciously, what they saw was the appearance of the magnates in the back row standing up one after another.

"Your Majesty!"

So, before even the main lord saw the ground, everyone subconsciously stood up, and in the early morning, on the floor of the church, a majestic slam like the sun slammed in, and soon people felt a sense of breathlessness.

Alicia, who is only five years old, is very short, and she feels this way especially badly, even when she stands up in a daze, she can only see the back of the adults in the second row turning their heads back, the "big sister" who she has not seen for a long time.

Until the man who had entered from the front raised his hand, and all the greetings began to converge, so that in the silence only the sound of unhurried walking was clear to the ears.

As the pace approached, a blonde lady in a pure black dress with a neat and low-key headdress on her head slowly approached the front with a faint smile. As a sign of solemnity, she wore a black veil on her head, which was placed on top of her bunched hair.

Behind her are priests and prayer workers holding the Genesis Sutra. When she slowly came to Alicia and sat down, a strong fragrance poured into Alicia's nose. The big names behind her sat down one after another, but the priest and prayer staff who had been following her went straight up to Haytham's crystal coffin to prepare for the upcoming funeral officiant.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

"The Empress."

"Please sit down."

The Velellis and Damian beside her greeted her, and Alicia greeted her in the same way, but Elizabeth did not seem to look at her, and expressed her condolences to all of Haytham's relatives and friends, before sitting down and quietly looking ahead.

It seems that this big sister has forgotten about herself, and she obviously met with herself at that time.

Alicia thought so, only when Elizabeth forgot about her, so she climbed into the seat next to Elizabeth and waited quietly for the funeral to begin.

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, Elizabeth beside her suddenly opened her mouth softly,

"Little Alicia, we're meeting again."

"Ah, Your Majesty, I."

"I have a little question for you."

"Hey, what's the problem?"

"Did the book in your arms come from a man named Fisher Benavides?"

"Huh?"

Alicia was slightly stunned, and Emhart, who was pretending to be dead in her arms, also trembled instantly, as cold as falling into the coldest ice cave in the world.

Alicia turned her head to look at Elizabeth beside her with some fear, but saw that she was still smiling and facing forward, but the strange golden pupils in her eyes had already swayed slightly and looked at Alicia's side, obviously looking very vivid, but with a strong sense of emptiness, asking her for an answer that she might have known a long time ago.

“.”

In the pale silence of Alicia's brain, the priest in front of her slowly spread out the Genesis Sutra and prepared to begin the ceremony of Haython's funeral.

At the back of the church, Fisher, who had just hidden the dangerous object in an unknown place, quietly slipped back to the back of the church under the package of secret blessings, and the place where the gifts were stored was almost a dozen meters behind the statue of the Mother Goddess.

Here you can almost hear the faint sound in front of you, the conversation of the big people. It's just that due to structural problems, Fisher can't see the front scene directly, but the church in front looks like it was made in a hurry, and there should be some location where such a location can be found.

And Valentina

"Hey, I left it in the back of this family's convoy last night, why is it missing now, is it being found? Tsk, I'm thinking about waiting until the funeral is over to get that foolish ex to break the defenses. ”

“.”

"I'm not stupid, how could they find out. I have previously investigated that the servants of the Golden Palace are transporting these things, and they will not be able to deliver them in the morning, so where will they check the prayers on these gifts. Not to mention those gift-givers, who may have just rushed over themselves."

“.”

"I can't do it now, I'll write another copy by hand, I'll have to show that guy anyway. How dare she threaten me in the letter, and say that I was still playing with toy cars at Turan's house when she and Fisher kissed for the night! It's like Fisher is now her husband! The old woman. That's right, I'm going to write like this, why didn't I expect that she is already in her thirties this year"

Fisher froze in place, apparently recognizing the familiar voice, but for a moment he did not dare to speak.

He just didn't understand why Valentina was talking to herself weirdly here.

He hurriedly and cautiously groped his way to the source of the subtle sound, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he soon saw a figure in a black gauze skirt and a big black hat crouching between a pile of gifts, sneakily groping for something, still whispering while checking.

And this figure in front of him is obviously not a phoenix, but a . Mankind?

Fisher blinked, so thought.

Asking for votes, tips, and support is very important to me!

Thank you very much for your support!
