Chapter 107: A Solemn Funeral

The first thing they did when they returned to the Aika family mansion was to visit Hernar and the girl she had brought back who looked exactly like her. The girl was still unconscious after being brought back to Flamechase City. Everyone was curious about the girl's origins, but since the girl had been in a coma, Frem had to temporarily place her in one of the shady cellars in Flamechase City. It is not known where the girl came from or her name, and the only way to refer to her is "Sleeping Hanal".

The next day, Frem took Fleming, the city's most famous doctor, to the cellar to examine the "sleeping Hernar", hoping to find out the cause. Out of curiosity, except for General Patton, the heavy sword who took care of the aftermath of the fallen soldiers, everyone else followed Frem to the cellar to see what was going on.

When she came to the cellar, the girl was still unconscious. She lay very quietly on the slate bed in the cellar, her eyes closed and her expression very calm. Joshua felt that although the girl looked exactly like Hernar, her face looked much softer than that of Hernar, who always had a fierce face.

Dr. Fleming took a box of medicine and sat down next to the girl. The first thing he had to do was to do a full examination of her body.

The doctor put on gloves and opened the girl's eyelids, revealing the whites of her eyes. "From the bottom of her eyes, the poor girl should have symptoms of poisoning, so she has been unconscious. ”

"Mr. Fleming, can you tell what kind of poison you have?" asked Frem.

"What exactly is the poison, I need to do further examination of her. Fleming opened the medicine box beside him and took out a blade from it.

"O goddess of light! this poor child is not lightly poisoned!" Fleming took one of the girl's hands and took a closer look at the situation on her fingernails. The girls were found to have scarlet nails on their nail beds.

Dr. Fleming hurriedly made a cut in the girl's nail structure with a razor blade, and took a glass tube to draw a little blood as the basis for the test.

"Judging by the color of her blood, she must have been infected with a neurotoxin. But usually such a dose is enough to kill, and it is a miracle that the child is still alive. Fleming scrutinized the blood in the tube.

"How long will it take for your test results to come back?" Frem asked, "The sooner we know what poison is in this child, we can get the right medicine sooner." ”

"I've never seen this poison before, and I hope to know the results soon. Fleming nodded.

The group left the cellar and waited for the results of the doctor's test for the toxin. And after this unprecedented battle, the Burning Fire Kingdom has also begun a new round of repairs.

After the smoke of the beacon smoke, the city of chasing flames has restored the tranquility of the past. People are back to work, and the market is back to its former hustle and bustle.

"Don't run around, there are too many people in the market, don't get lost. "A mother beckons her child in the street.

"Everyone, keep up the work, it's almost finished!" Patton commanded the soldiers as he stood at the head of the wall. The group is working on repairing the walls of Flame Chasing City.

"General Patton, how is the resettlement of the families of the fallen soldiers going?" said Brand, who climbed the tower to Patton.

"Master Brand, we have brought a lot of condolences to the families of the fallen in the past few days. And we have built a large mausoleum on the hill to the east of the Sunset Plains to bury these fallen warriors. In a few days, Lord Frem will officiate at their funerals. Barton responded.

"Sister Tim, we've been here for so long, we haven't had a good walk, take us around! Joshua and Hainal were shopping with Tim.

"My dragon eagle knights have been trained for a long time to fully control these dragon eagles, which is not a fun thing. Tim laughed.

"Uh, Sister Tim, you don't look much older than us, have you been training since you were very young?" asked Joshua.

"Actually, I don't know why, but I knew the language of birds since I was a child. I was able to talk to these dragon eagles, so I didn't have a long training session. Tim laughed, and then she chatted with Joshua and Hernar about some common things, telling interesting stories about her and the birds. From childhood to adulthood, the birds of the entire Fire Kingdom can be said to be her friends, except for the ptarmigans in the volcanoes.

And so it went on for several months.

The time came to a certain day in December 523 in the kingdom calendar. The smoke on the Sunset Plain had completely dissipated, and the hot weather in the Burning Fire Kingdom had temporarily subsided a lot.

In a mountain field on the east side of the plains, Frem led the main members of the Aika family to the center of the large mausoleum that General Patton had presided over. In the mausoleum are the tombstones of the soldiers who died in that battle. Frem led the crowd in a solemn funeral, with Geraint, Joshua, and Hernar in attendance.

"Woo...... Whining...... Woo woo ......" horns sounded, and the soldiers of the Aika family lined up on both sides of the mausoleum. A priest stands in front of a large tombstone in the center and begins to read the eulogy. Frem was the first to kneel down on one knee and give a salute to his chest in front of the tombstone. Barton drew his saber, lifted its head to the ground, and landed on one knee as well. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Aika family and others present also drew their swords and knelt down on one knee to mourn the fallen soldiers.

"The long night is coming, and the great warriors are resting here. No fiefdoms, no crowns, no favors. But you have done your duty, and you have died and died. With the sword in your hand, you guard the glory of the knights, and cut off the iron hooves of the empire, and you are like the light of the dawn, awakening the trumpet of victory, and becoming the shield of the kingdom. You give your life and glory to the burning flame, from now on, night after night. May the great warriors rest in peace, and may the glory of the knights endure. May the Goddess of Light bless your loved ones and your homeland, and may the sacred flame of the Burning Kingdom endure. ”

After the priest read the eulogy, a hymn of mourning sounded on the mausoleum. A melodious melody slowly rose over the Sunset Plain, and everyone sang a hymn with solemn expressions to express their blessings to the dead warriors.

The melodious hymn sounded in his ears, and Joshua seemed to have a sense of déjà vu. "I feel like I've heard this song somewhere before. Joshua thought to himself. Mallory was once a wild place relative to the mainland of Gaia, serving as a place of exile for prisoners, so there was no tradition of singing chants there. But this hymn is passed down in every corner of the continent of Gaia, and people are accustomed to use it to express their sorrows and blessings.

After the funeral, everyone returned to Flame City and began a normal life. But the most concerning thing is the origin of the "Sleeping Hernar". It's a pity that it took Dr. Fleming a long time to find out the cause of the poisoning. Finally, one day, he discovers in an old medical book that the toxin is derived from the poison of a desert scorpion.

"This is supposed to be poison from a desert scorpion. But it's a little different from the desert scorpions we usually see. This poisonous scorpion is very poisonous, and people who are stung by it will instantly feel paralysis and difficulty breathing, and if they are not treated with blood immediately, they will soon die. To my surprise, the girl turned out to be just unconscious. It seems that there are many secrets hidden in her body as well. Fleming said, "It's just a pity that she has missed the best time to be treated, and I haven't found a way to get rid of the scorpion venom yet." Because people who are poisoned by this scorpion usually don't live for the same day, she has survived for three months, which has to be said to be a miracle. But this also makes us have no case as a reference, and we don't know what year and month it will take to wake her up. ”

"Well, poor child, I guess the poisoning must have something to do with the Imperial Knights. Frem thought for a moment and said.

In the distant Floating City, news of a defeat came from the front line, and to make matters worse, another fragment of the Holy Sword had fallen into the hands of the enemy, much to Parsa's anger. The entire Reims Empire will set off a new round of storms......
