Chapter Fifty-Eight: Eric's Saxophone Performance
Eric thought to himself, "No wonder this kid gave the blacksmith a scratch bag name for 'House of Legendary Weapons'." ”
Eric, who felt a little cold on his face, found that a light rain had drifted in the sky, and the rain was falling silently and unhurriedly, finely and densely woven into a veil, enveloping the entire Laika town.
The townspeople all walked out of their homes and followed the priest towards the cemetery.
Yes, today is the day to bury the victims, and it is said that the lord of Laika City will also come to the town.
Eric hurried back to the tavern and found that everyone had black veils on their sleeves.
When Emily saw Eric, she ran to Eric's side with her little legs and said, "Eric, I'll put it on for you, Mom said everyone should wear this today." Only then will those who have died find their way home, to go home to see their families for the last time. ”
"Yes, it is only when they see their family for the last time that those wandering and confused souls ascend to heaven without regrets, instead of falling into hell with resentment and unwillingness. Ivanov's expression was very sad.
After putting the black veil on Eric, Emily led Eric with one hand and Angelina with the other, and followed behind everyone.
The residents who met Eric and Angelina along the way all cast ambiguous glances. Every time he saw these gazes, the corners of Ivanov's eyes twitched, let alone Allen.
"I said Eric, what are you doing with the saxophone? Do you want to play your vulgar tune at the funeral?" Allen's snarky tone was like a chicken bone, thrown in front of everyone.
Despite not liking the tone of Alan's voice, Ivanov asked, "yes, Eric, what are you doing with the saxophone?
Eric said with a sad face: "When I think of my friends who used to be laughing and laughing, but today I want to play a tune, hoping that they will remember the way home when they hear it." ”
It's not like Eric is pretending, he's really feeling a little sad.
Although the size of Laika Town is not small, a few years of living have allowed Eric to meet many warm-hearted and kind-hearted townspeople.
But these people lost their lives because of the actions of a wizard.
Ivanov was also saddened by Eric's words, and did not ask about Eric's performance again.
Alan didn't think so, and continued to mockingly, "Erik, I don't think you can play elegant music if you haven't heard real music yet, and don't think that you can play elegant music just because you have learned some skills from those bards in the tavern and played some vulgar and obscene tunes. Don't let everyone follow you and embarrass you. ”
"No, Eric is the best! Unlike you, you know how to brag!" Emily said with a grimace at Alan.
"Poof!" Angelina couldn't help but laugh.
Emily's words made Alan's heart feel like a scoop of oil, and anger suddenly burned. But he didn't dare to get angry at Emily, if he did, it would definitely make Angelina disgusted with him.
"Angelina, stay away from Eric in a minute. Aunt Ingrid was also with everyone, and her words made Alan's anger dissipate a lot.
For Aunt Ingrid, who has always been cold to him, Eric can only shrug his shoulders and express helplessness.
The cemetery in Laika Town was already full of residents mourning their loved ones, and the rain was still falling in the sky, and they were drifting like fine sand flying in the sky.
The rain of the first bud moon (i.e., March) is like a pair of cold hands, gently caressing people's faces.
As the priest opened his mouth to read the eulogy, the sky began to grow darker, and the dark clouds of iron, joined with the cloud forest, and besieged the town of Laika like an iron cage.
"Death is a time when death is inevitable, and when a noble heroic spirit wanders in the world, what is the reason for them to be remembered, and what is the reason why they do not spread their wings of freedom and fly to heaven?
It is relatives, they are eager to return to their former home, to see their loved ones, to say goodbye one last time. So that he will go to heaven with no regrets. Let's pray silently and pray that these heroic spirits will find their way home!"
After the pastor finished the eulogy, he closed his eyes, put his hands into fists on his chest, and prayed silently.
After a while, the priest opened his eyes and said, "May these soulless bodies rest here!"
At the same time, the monks of the church threw the white roses that had been prepared long ago on the coffin. It was only then that the inhabitants filled in the graves.
Eric picked up the saxophone in his hand, he coughed lightly twice, and then put the saxophone in his mouth and played it.
Ivanov next to them had long been standing far away, and even Caroline was pulled away by Alan.
Ingrid tried to pull Angelina away, but Emily grabbed Eric's trouser leg and refused to walk away, and one of Angelina's hands was held tightly by Emily.
So Angelina could only look at Ingrid innocently and stay with Eric.
When Eric's saxophone sounded, Ivanov looked at Eric dumbfounded, and his heart stirred.
Ivanov never imagined that Eric would be able to play such a tune.
The saxophone played by Eric is the famous "Homecoming" in his previous life. The melodious music deeply attracted everyone, and there was no need for people to understand music at this moment, because from the sound of Eric's music, everyone felt the emotion of going home.
Angelina's blue eyes have already imprinted Eric's figure when he played "Homecoming".
The cemetery is home to not only townspeople and adventurers, but also many bards. These bards also wanted to play music to mourn the departed.
But Eric played "Homecoming" perfectly, and it discouraged the bards from their minds.
"The pure and melodious clean sound and lyrical high note are fully and well-expressed, the layering is clear and distinct, and the sound quality is soft and not harsh, but very penetrating. ”
This is what the bard said about Eric.
And Eric himself seems to have returned to the saxophone in his previous life in order to deceive little girls. At first, he learned the saxophone in order to perform in an orphanage.
Even Ingrid was surprised by Eric's performance, let alone the others.
The sound of the song gradually wafted in the town of Laika, and the quiet town seemed more peaceful in the song.
"Is this?" said a middle-aged man, supported by a group of people, walking down the streets of Laika Town.
A faint sound of the saxophone caught his attention.
"Honorable Lord of the City, the voice seems to be coming from the cemetery!" the new mayor of Laika Town began.
This middle-aged man is the lord of Laika City, and he is also the lord of the Laika Territory of the Dawn Empire (usually also serving as the lord of the main city of the territory) Matthew Levis.
