Chapter 10: My Godson

Half an hour later, the residents of the family, who had come to attend to the burial of the deceased, returned from the town.

At the same time, relatives and friends of the deceased came to mourn.

The elderly nun returns to the chapel to attend to the funeral.

Lindsey was left alone in the house.

After this period of communication, he has returned to his composure.

The information the nun told him was mixed.

For example, with regard to the word 'universe', Lindsay's understanding of the earth does not apply here.

The universe that the nun is talking about is not a dark void full of stars.

It's a general term for the interconnected worlds in her mouth.

The world Lindsay is in at the moment, called Hidden Frontier, which was explored by a joint team of several worlds 120 years ago, but soon after, it was blocked by the Great Hollow at the end of the world.

Some of the Awoken with exceptional abilities choose to fly.

Continue to the unknown.

The rest set up camp on the edge of the world on the hidden frontiers, and over time evolved into the town it is today.

Due to the Black Mountain world next door, it is occupied by a powerful dragon beast.

Therefore, in the past hundred years, border towns can only travel to and from other worlds in the form of spatial teleportation.

Then, 10 years ago, this teleportation facility, affected by the essentia tide on harvest day, fell into a serious failure and no one was able to repair it.

Since then, the Hidden Frontier has become a real hidden place.

Utter isolation.

"It's a safe place......

Sitting on the bed and taking a sip of hot water, Lindsay sighed again, but the mentality was completely different.

Compared to his previous fluster, he was now completely calm.

The first is to return to the village of Anwel.

This is Lindsay's number one goal at the moment, and it wants to achieve it, but it faces many difficulties.

The good news is that due to the nature of the hidden frontier, he will not be found by the Knights of the Law. Before he managed to leave the hidden frontier, he even had a chance to find a way to solve his Law Capital Sinner Mark.

Possess the special skills of [Gamer].

Lindsay didn't think that her future would be spent in seclusion in the Frontier Lands.

He should be thinking about it now.

How to become stronger, how to develop your own [gamer] abilities, and how to find a way to cross Montenegro and return to other civilizations.

I have a rough outline of the future in my mind.

Lindsey walked out of the house again.

In the chapel at the front of the chapel, nuns are presiding over the condolences of relatives and friends of the deceased, and more than a dozen people walk in front of the yellow wooden coffin, including the elderly and the young, as well as men and women, most of them with sad expressions, but never crying.

After everyone finished mourning, the elderly nun slowly walked to the coffin.

Her old body is not straight, but her steady and deep temperament makes people involuntarily begin to pray with her.

"Death has come, not the end."

"The soul returns to slumber, and the body to essentia."

"The dead should say goodbye to the world of the living, and the living should say goodbye to the dead in silence."

"Rest in peace—"

"May you not be disturbed by the abyss, may you not get lost in the Dead Sea, may you accept a new beginning......"

At the end of the prayers, the family of the deceased lifts the coffin.

Led by the nuns, they walked out of the chapel in silence, leaving a silence.

Lindsay came to the church door, grabbed the door, and stuck her head out to glance at it.

The funeral procession stepped through the snow and turned to the cemetery behind the church to officially begin the burial of the body.

The elderly nun is the backbone of the funeral.

She commanded the process with short and clear words, and the townsfolk around her complied with her request.

Whew-

The cold winter wind blows.

This made Lindsay, who had a cold, want to cough a little.

He did not want to disturb the solemn funeral ceremony, so he returned to the church alone.

"It's cold."

Lindsay put her hands around her shoulders and shivered.

Although he had been in the chapel for two days, this was the first time he had observed the chapel.

The small chapel was silent, empty except for Lindsay.

Two rows of renovated wooden benches, lined up on a grey stone brick floor, are neatly oriented towards the main altar, giving it a solemn atmosphere. But against the wall, there are also some old curtain fabrics.

There is no stained glass on the dome and walls.

The chapel is only at the height of the walls near the ceiling, with some round windows open, and a few beams of winter sunlight slanting in, illuminating the dust that drifts through the air, as well as the main beams of the church that are exposed to the air.

The only one that catches the eye.

Behind the main altar, there is a statue with a straight line erected in a circle.

"This ...... Probably a cross-like symbol of faith, right? ”

Lindsey muttered.

At this moment, footsteps came from the church door behind him.

He looked back and saw two guards in simple armor and weapons with them, and as soon as they entered, they spoke politely:

"Hello, we're waiting here for Ms. Red Moon...... Well? ”

Seeing Lindsay's appearance, the two guards were stunned.

The town on the outlying frontier is not small, but as guards patrolling the town, they have an impression of the basic appearance of the townspeople, even if they can't name everyone.

Lindsey is a face that has never been seen before.

Children of ordinary families, at this age, even if they play and play on the street, they should have a relationship.

The two guards looked at each other, and immediately had a plan in their hearts.

One of them, who was fatter, took the initiative to walk up to Lindsay and asked with a nervous expression:

"You, you're the Awakened One that Lady Red Moon picked up?"

Through the other party's questioning, Lindsay already knew the name of Lady Red Moon, the nun who helped him.

But more importantly, the guards in front of him knew the identity of their Awakened One.

Lindsay didn't want the other party to talk to her so nervously, so she quickly explained:

"Sir, I only woke up not long ago, and I haven't mastered any otherworldly skills."

"It doesn't matter!" The guard directly interrupted Lindsay, "It's been a long time since outsiders have come here, let alone an Awakened One!" You should go to your lord at once and come with me! ”

When these tough words were uttered, the guards were visibly a little frightened.

But he thought of the importance of an awakened person, and then looked at the young child in front of him, and he couldn't help but take Lindsay away.

Lindsay subconsciously took two steps back.

Compared to the nuns who took more care of him, he didn't know what this lord was.

But after realizing her situation, Lindsay was ready to accept reality.

In the hidden frontier, this town is the only civilized world, and Lindsay will inevitably come into contact with it no matter what she does.

What's more, rejecting the guards in front of you is tantamount to provoking the lord here.

"You don't have to take him with you."

Just as Lindsay was about to leave with the guards, the nun's deep voice rang out from the main entrance of the chapel.

With a steady, slow step, she approached the two guards:

"Tell Anrui that this kid will be a member of the School of Death from now on, my godson."

The nun stands in front of the church door.

Black eyes stared at the two guards, and no emotion could be read in them.

The image instantly silenced the atmosphere, and the air around it was silent.

The two guards were stunned for a few seconds, then immediately nodded vigorously:

"Ms. Red Moon, we get it."

The mission to the church had failed, but the guards did not dare to turn around and leave.

They bowed respectfully to the nun and did their due diligence before they left together.
