Chapter 127: The Dead (Subscription Requested!! )
In the long and narrow procession, Mavi and the Messenger walked in front, and at this moment, he had changed into a priest's robe, holding the Book of Truth on his chest, and in front of them was the coffins of Baron Wallas and Bishop Hans, carried by several serfs and priests of the Church of Honesty, and walked slowly towards the cemetery.
"Communication."
"What's wrong boss?"
"After the funeral, as the hosts, Madame de Chefna and Baron Staley will entertain guests from afar, and you will be like this when the time comes..."
"Uh-huh..."
The source nodded as he listened to the plan, and then asked, "Is this possible?" ”
"Whether you can do it or not, it depends on how good your acting skills are, be careful, Baron Starley may be able to do magic."
Mavi's gaze was always on Baron Staley's chubby fingers, where there were traces of wearing a ring, and Baron Staley must have taken it off and put it away before coming to the manor.
If it was an ordinary ring, Baron Starley obviously didn't need to hide it, but for Ma Wei, who was very sensitive to magic rings, these small details could just arouse his vigilance.
Earlier, in the living room, Mavi concluded that Baron Starley was a member of the Liberty Society, so he asked about the real pocket watch, and the answer given by the pocket watch was wrong.
Not only that, but Baron Staley has nothing to do with the forces that awaken Edward and kill Kina and Baron Wallas.
It's simply not possible.
According to Mavi, there are two reasons why the real pocket watch judged that Baron Staley, who is not a member of the Free Society, is not a behind-the-scenes force:
1. Baron Starley used some special means to confuse the judgment of a real pocket watch.
2. Baron Staley who appeared in front of them.... Not Baron Starly himself, but someone else in disguise.
Given that the Black Madonna did not change due to the presence of Baron Staley, the former is more likely, unless....
The movement of the black Madonna statue can be actively controlled by the forces behind the scenes, they want to make the black Madonna statue move, and they want the black Madonna statue to calm down, so that Ma Wei and the others realize that the black Madonna statue is related to the forces behind the scenes, and the third change that seems to be accidental is also deliberately done by them.
On the premise that the real pocket watch may be confused, the conclusions given by the pocket watch are not credible, and if you want to know the truth of the matter, you can either investigate and speculate yourself, or....
Invoke the name of the true god Badge and travel to her kingdom, where it should not be affected.
But then again, how could Mavi ask the true god Baji about these things?
The true god Badge is not necessarily a good thing, and she is no less dangerous than the Freedom Society and the forces behind it.
Surrounded by tigers and wolves, no one can trust anyone except his own people.
Kacha... Kacha...
Over the hillside, the funeral procession came to the cemetery at the rear of the manor, which was the cemetery of the Baron Wallas's family, where the ancestors were buried for generations, and was regularly cleaned and maintained, much cleaner and more empty than the ordinary suburban cemetery.
As a believer in the Honest Church, Baron Wolas was supposed to be buried in the church cemetery, but due to the dissolution of the Honest Church and the fact that the graves of his ancestors were at the back of the manor, Madame de Schefna decided to bury him in the family cemetery.
As for the coffin of Bishop Hans, it has already been sent to the Church of Honesty.
A snow squirrel jumped up on the pine tree, holding a red berry in its arms, and stared motionlessly at the crowd standing in front of the grave below.
"Today, a god has gained her most devout believers, and a wife has lost her kind and kind husband...."
Mavi held the open Book of Truth and recited prayers aloud, while relatives stood on either side of the grave, dressed in black, and women wore black gauze skirts and black tulle on their heads, sobbing one after another, especially Shefna, whose bitter cries added a touch of sadness to the cold and lonely winter.
"May the soul of the deceased rest in peace, may he live a prosperous life in the kingdom of God, may the God in whom he believes be blessed with mercy, may all pain be aside, and may joy and happiness surround him..."
Funeral attendees placed white bouquets of flowers on top of the coffins and walked around the grave, one by one expressing their remembrance of the deceased.
After solemnly reciting the prayer, Mavi took out his pocket watch and glanced at it: "At 5:15 p.m., Madame Chefna, remember this time." ”
"Hmm..."
"Fill in the soil."
Serfs belonging to the family of Baron Wolas wielded shovels and sprinkled a puff of dirt into the grave to cover the coffin, while the stonemasons hurriedly erected tombstones.
The funeral was over, and the relatives turned to leave, ready to return to the manor to take care of dinner.
"It's another funeral..."
Standing in front of the tombstone, Mavi did not leave immediately, but looked at the name of Baron Wallas and the date of birth and death on the tombstone, and fell into a long silence.
In the three years since he founded the Church of Truth, he has sent away so many people that he can't even count them, and some nights, he dreams that he is lying in the cemetery, the sky is gray, the cold rain is falling, and the silence around him is terrifying.
"Teacher, what are you thinking?" Daniel asked.
"I'm thinking about the meaning of life, but it's pessimistic nihilism."
Ma Wei looked at the tombstone, pressed his palm on his chest, and after mourning silently, patted Daniel's shoulder, took Yunia's little hand and said, "Let's go, those who stand still will be abandoned by the times, we still have a lot to do." ”
After Ma Wei walked away, Daniel, who had a white flower pinned to his chest, looked at the tombstone, as if talking to himself, as if asking the dead Baron Wallas, and whispered: "Is the era of nobility really over?" ”
"Yes." A voice came from behind the tombstone.
“.......”
Daniel walked to the tombstone, looked at the fat orange who was squatting there licking his paws and said, "What are you doing?" Eavesdrop? ”
"You were talking where I licked my paws, how did it turn out that I was eavesdropping?" Fat Orange walked with an elegant catwalk, his tail raised high, and he walked to the manor without looking back: "Hurry up, this is the Siberian region, and there are black bears in winter." ”
Daniel glanced back at the empty taiga and trotted and said, "Isn't the black bear going to hibernate?" ”
"There will always be hungry people who come out to forage for food, and last time a cat saw one."
"You're going to protect me, aren't you?"
"Who knows."
..............................................
At night, the manor is brightly lit, and in the dining room, people dressed in black eat in silence, and there is no laughter at the banquet, only the tinkling of knives and forks touching porcelain plates.
"Madam, I am a serf merchant from Tevriz, your serfs, do you have any intention of selling?"
"Madam, I am the manager of the Lvivka wood processing plant, on the territory of your family, there is a forest, which we are willing to buy at a very suitable price ...."
Shefna was surrounded by merchants, and all they talked about how to divide the property of Baron Wallas's family, and Chefna was so distracted that she had no intention of caring with them.
On the other side, people raised their glasses to Baron Staley one after another, everyone knew that from today onwards, the property of Baron Walla's family would become Baron Staley's property, as long as the death of Baron Wallas was reported to the Senate, then Baron Stahlas would have one more title of nobility.
However, this was a funeral, so everyone did not congratulate them, but only celebrated tacitly, and on the surface they still looked sad, and congratulated Baron Starley not to be too sad.
Compared to Shefna and Baron Stary, Mavi's surroundings are a little deserted, not many people look for him, after all, he can't provide benefits to merchants or nobles, if you can't provide value, others will snub you, this is the reality.
The butler, who stood behind the table and served the guests, had an ugly face and glared angrily at the ill-intentioned guests, how he wished that Madame de Schefna would drive them all out, but it was impossible.
"I'll get out of here..."
Baron Staley, who had drunk too much, wiped the corners of his mouth, put down his glass and stood up, and walked towards the door.
Seeing Baron Starley leave the table, Mavi glanced at the communication, and the comprehensible communication picked up the fat orange, pretended that the spoon had fallen to the ground, and bent down to pick it up.....
Unleash the Siren's Tears and turn Fat Orange into his own form, and he....
In a subtle snap of the fingers, it disappeared in an instant.
"Ahem...."
Mavi put down his knife and fork, pulled Yunia to her feet, and quietly left the restaurant.
"Teacher, what are they doing?" Daniel, who was cutting the steak, asked curiously.
"Get down to business."
Bathroom.
Whoa....
In the sound of the water, Baron Starley picked up a puddle of water and splashed it on his face, exuding the smell of wine.
After washing his face, he took off the towel hanging next to him, wiped the water droplets, raised his head, looked at himself in the mirror, and saw if there was any rudeness in the appearance and hairstyle, just as he stared at the mirror and looked at himself....
In the mirror, behind him, an illusory cheek slowly rose.
Baron Staley's hole shrank suddenly, and he cried out:
"Jayne?!"
