Chapter 214: The Funeral (Part II)
In Kyleus' unwavering tone, the eulogy prepared for Licia ended. The next step is to bury the coffin containing Lycia's body in the pit that has been prepared a long time ago.
Accompanied by deep and mournful funeral music, the Count led several servants into the garden carrying the rectangular coffin to the side of the pit.
Kylelius watched as they slowly lowered the ornate coffin into the ground with a rope, and then used a prepared shovel to shovel the earth piled up high next to the pit into the empty tomb, until more and more earth filled Lycia's coffin.
From beginning to end, Kyrlius didn't make any expressions, and the muscles on his face didn't move in the slightest. He just looked at the coffin buried deep in the ground so quietly that he didn't look away from it until it was completely invisible.
After the Count and the others buried the tomb, they tamped the surface of the earth and covered it with a layer of greenery like artificial lawn, so that the place looked no different from the surrounding ground.
When Kylelius saw the Count finish doing this, he withdrew his gaze, and then spoke the last words of today's funeral ceremony: "May your majesty in heaven guide you in the way, and may you bathe in the glory of order and justice in your majesty's kingdom of God." ”
With that, he thought about the cemetery and performed a priest's salute, then closed the thick book in his hand and walked slowly down the steps, away from the crowd.
The words of Kylelius fell, marking the end of the funeral, and the guests standing around were whispering or slowly leaving.
But few people noticed at this time, and the count left aside the servants and guests and rode the crowd unnoticed. With an ugly look that I didn't know whether it was annoyance or anxiety, I walked quickly to Kyrlius.
Kylelius seemed to know that the Count had come back to look for him, after he left the crowd. I didn't go far, but I found a dark place that was blocked from everyone's view by the shade of trees and a few ornamental stones. Stood there silently.
The Count followed Kylelius from a distance to this hidden place, and the ugly look on his face still did not ease in any way, but after seeing Kylelius standing there expressionlessly, there was a tendency to grow stronger.
At this time, Count Dag was very dissatisfied with Kyleus, and he was dissatisfied with Kyleus's lack of affection at the funeral, which was extremely undesirable in the earl's opinion.
Although Count Dag could not ask Kylelius to devote a lot of affection to Lycia, he should pretend to be on such an occasion no matter what.
If the Count hadn't known that Kylelius valued Lycia and their relationship, he wouldn't have come here to meet Kelelius in secret.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already formed a feud with the shadows and his core interests could not be reconciled, he would have to consider reuniting the team.
I'll be sure to talk about him later. As an elder. I know he's not a cold-blooded person, but others don't. Sometimes performance is also a very important means of communication, otherwise it will cause great inconvenience or even crisis in future career and life. ’
The Count remembered that when he came, he heard the whispers of the guests and even the servants around him, almost all of them questioning and reprimanding the merciless subject of Kellius.
The Count thought this, and with a slight look of dissatisfaction and a look of intent on his face, he approached Kylelius with a serious expression. Just as he was about to say a few words to him, Kyrlius suddenly spoke first.
The priest did not look at the Count, who was approaching him, but looked up slightly in a daze at the blue sky through the gap between the shade and foliage of the trees. Kylelius told him what Bellamy had told him before. They told the Count the direction of the location of the plague.
"A few days ago, in the northeastern part of the 'Zakiksas' forest, there was an abnormal evolution event of demonic creatures. In my judgment, there is no doubt that the cause of this mutation could only be due to the occurrence of the 'Demonic Calamity'. ”
As he said this, Kyrlius was still speaking in a tone that was almost the same as before. It's like you're talking about something that has nothing to do with you.
However, the Count didn't care about his tone, because he didn't know about the subversive and drastic changes in the mentality of Kellius in the past few days. In the Count's opinion, Kellius was just as indifferent to these matters as before. It's just an outsider's mentality to look at almost everything, and there's nothing wrong with that.
And more importantly. The Count now had no mind to care about the tone of Kellius and the disrespectful funeral he had just received, because the news that Kellius had just brought to him was too surprising.
The Count is not a magician though. But enough experience and knowledge allowed him to know what this sudden demonic disaster meant.
After a brief moment of silence, he quickly came to the conclusion that the overdose of magic caused by the enemy's large-scale magic research experiments was the greatest cause of the plague.
The Count knew that the biggest suspect was the red robe, but his primary concern now was not this, but the accuracy or authenticity of the news, which was the most important reference for the next course of action: "Kyleus, are you telling the truth? ”
The Count's last words were not because he doubted whether Kyrlius had lied to him, but he believed that Kylelius would not have deceived him in such a big matter.
The main reason for this question is that the Count has to judge the credibility of the information according to the source of the information, whether it is a rumor or false news deliberately spread by the enemy, and so on.
Hearing this, Kylelius still did not look away from his gaze, as if there was some splendid and rare beauty in the sky, and still stared at the faint sky. However, he did not forget the conversation with the earl, and he still said lightly without any emotional fluctuations:
"Yes. I don't think there should be any problem with the authenticity of the information, this is the information that one of my newbies brought back when he went on an adventure mission in 'Zakiksas', when they encountered a group of demonized wolves that were obviously much stronger than their kind......"
Kyrlius gave the Count a detailed account of Bellamy's situation at that time. Of course, there was this paragraph about Cheryl that he had overlooked, consciously or unconsciously, and it was clear that he did not seem to have told Count Cheryl about it.
As the most favored subordinate of Kyleus, and also a warlock with a somewhat sensitive class category, it is not suitable to expose her existence at this time, at least according to Kyleus. (To be continued......)
