Funeral Day: Void Spirit Stone
"You should have heard about what happened in the past few days, Xue Shangjun and Kui Yin, who you have been investigating some time ago, both died at the banquet in the Roland Palace, and since then the clues have been broken, from the bright side, there is nothing strange about His Royal Highness Ye Yue's words, but I know that the Void Spirit Stone is not just about the Southern Jade Kingdom, there must be shadows of other forces behind this matter, Ye Fan, you are now a member of the Xingyue Council, this identity can help you a lot, but correspondingly, I also want to remind you that status is not only a symbol of status, but also responsibility, you must be careful, if you encounter any difficulties, the Xingyue Ring can contact all members of the Council, including me and Waki, despite telling us. β
Ye Fan nodded, he walked up to Mo Nan's corpse, looked at the hideous wound on his forehead for a long time before muttering to himself, "This kind of penetrating wound, the speed of the weapon is extremely fast, the power is amazing, and it presents explosive destructive power, which is not something that ordinary fire spirit spells can do, this is not ...... Spirit Spear?Wright, the envoy of the Rising Sun Kingdom?"
Although he had some speculation, there was no evidence, it was completely a conclusion based on personal experience and eyesight, in the final analysis, even if it was really Wright's doing, no one could prove it, and now Beiye and Xuyang were on the same side because of the Southern Jade Kingdom, Ye Yue could not offend an ally for Mo Ling'er, and he Ye Fan could only investigate this matter by himself, so he chose to accept Merlin's suggestion and join the Xingyue Council, which could provide him with a convenience that Teacher Lingwan could not compare.
"Spirit guide guns? those crazy people can actually make weapons that only exist in theory, could it be that the people of the Holy Sect also have contact with ghosts? Don't worry for the time being, the Council has been investigating the matter of the Void Spirit Stone for a long time, and it was also for this matter a few days ago, you are too dangerous alone, I know you think very highly of yourself, but no one among the ghosts is weak, you need a helper, go back today." Merlin thought for a long time and said.
Ye Fan nodded, he really didn't have any confidence about a person, at first the ghost and Xingyue were originally the same organization, but unfortunately in the long years, there were two voices within the organization, each with supporters, which led to the intensification of the contradiction and finally split.
Weakling?
Although Ye Fan thinks very highly of himself, he does not dare to despise the ghosts, the people who can enter the Xingyue Council or the ghosts are all geniuses, they stand at the peak of the spiritual path, and they are the collection of the strongest combat power of the human race, it is the existence of this group of people that the human race can survive on an equal footing with other races, and will not become slaves and domestic animals in the cracks, although the positions are different, but whether it is the Xingyue Council or the ghosts, in the final analysis, they are all working hard for the human race.
......
It has been three full days since Xiao Shu disappeared, this day is the morning of the fourth day, today is a very important day, even when the first king Yebei was crowned, it was slightly late, because after today, the war will start!
Although the rain stopped, the sky in the city of the north wind was still gloomy, the cold wind was howling, they were all wearing specially customized black dresses, wearing their respective family emblems on their chests, at this time they should have enjoyed wine and fruit on the warm bed, and they would not get up after a nap by the way, but today is different, even those noble children who are used to being lazy and pampered on weekdays have gotten up early in the morning, and no one dares to slack off.
The place where the funeral was held was beyond everyone's expectations, not the soon-to-be-completed Winter Palace, nor the Roland Palace, but the Holy Virgin Church on Nun Street, no one understood why Ye Yue arranged the funeral in this place, you must know that the Old God Cult fell under the suppression of Ye Bei, and those believers and clergy can be said to hate Ye Bei and their group of powerful people.
Count Moran stood alone in the crowd, without a single relative around him, he bent his back and tightened his collar, as if he was ten years old, if he changed his usual times, he would not just stand silently, but today, he did not have the mood to talk and socialize, just yesterday, his eldest son Mo Nan died, the death is unknown, the funny thing is that those guards don't even know who the murderer is, that is the first time that Moran lost control because of anger, he beat the group of guards in the street, holding Mo Nan's unrecognizable body, kneeling on the street for a long time, a long time......
Is family affection really not as good as power and wealth?
This question, which he was able to answer without hesitation a few days ago, somehow seemed so ridiculous.
"What if I am the one who is being held hostage?"
Mo Nan asked him this that day, Mo Lan just chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, maybe in Mo Nan's opinion, he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and he could give up everything for power and wealth, but in fact, Mo Lan didn't know how to answer this question, he didn't want to imagine it, this question was too difficult, no matter what conclusion he came to, he wouldn't forgive himself, since it didn't happen, then don't think about it.
For the first time in his life, this old man wondered about his choice, what was the meaning of the power and wealth he had worked so hard to gain?
Tired, somewhat tired.
Moran let out a long breath, he sneered and looked around at these masked people, behind the glossy was full of lies, betrayals, bloody wounds, he was tired and tired of it, maybe ...... It's time to go back.
Countless royal guards stood guard on both sides of Nun Street, but they did not stop this group of women who had been crushed by life from standing outside the circle, wearing shabby clothes, yellow complexions, thin bodies, and having long lost their faith in their eyes, like walking corpses, in this country where faith was useless, they made their choice to become prostitutes at the bottom.
The distant bells rang and echoed through the low, dirty nun street, and the funeral began.
Ye Bei's body disappeared in the spirit explosion, according to the usual funeral method, he can use his belongings before his death as a substitute for the body, it is a sword, it stands to reason that the funeral of a king, even if this sword is inlaid with gems and made of amethyst, no one will question it, but this is a rusty long sword, without any patterns and carvings, and even the material of the sword body is the most inferior steel.
There is no orchestra music, no parade, in the dilapidated church, a coffin made of cedar trees, the whole body is dark yellow, and the three-leaf emblem is simply depicted on it, which is too simple for an emperor, just like the portrayal of Ye Bei's life, there is no luxury enjoyment, nor is he lost in power, since birth, what he has faced is cold eyes and ridicule, the three words of illegitimate child, as if engraved on his soul, can never be erased.
The world cruel to him, and he returned the blood.
In his eyes, the power is not merciful, the powerless and powerless, even if they are hoarse, no one will pay attention, and the high-ranking and powerful people, even if they whisper, there are 10,000 people who cater to him, this truth is not taught to him by others, but the conclusion he has drawn from his own experience.
Under the gaze of countless people, Ye Yue walked out of the crowd in a black dress and supported by the imperial guards, he held Violet's hand, followed by Hersie, who was dressed in a nun's robe, and Princess Roseli, who also looked solemn.
"Thank you, the lords of the cabinet, the lords and princes who guard the main city, the prosperity of the North Ye Country can be today, it is inseparable from your efforts, here, on behalf of my father, I would like to express my gratitude to you, you are the pillar of the North Ye Kingdom, and the true and most beloved partner of my father, I know that there are many adults, after hearing the news, I have been traveling for days and thousands of miles to come to the North Wind City, I am really happy, thank you. β
Ye Yue paused for a moment, turned to Ye Bei's coffin with a sad face, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, pulled Zi Luo to bend down and knelt down, and was silent for a long time, the atmosphere in the church was extremely depressed, and many people even quietly held their breath, they all knew what Ye Yue had experienced, both parents died, the north and south guards died at the banquet three days ago, and even he himself was almost killed, even if he did not collapse, his temperament would change, and the silence at this moment was just a precursor to the coming storm.
Sure enough, after a while, Ye Yue stood up, and when he turned around, there was only coldness in his eyes, he pursed his lips, and a sneer appeared, "I know what you guys are thinking, how can a fifteen-year-old child be worthy of the throne of king?" Yes, the day my father died, it was like the sky was falling for me, I never imagined that I would ascend to the throne in this situation, I don't know anything, I don't understand anything, but I was very lucky to be born as the prince of the North Ye Kingdom, whether it is politics or war, everyone here knows more than me, in this case, why should I be the king?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present all turned pale, they had been mixed for so many years, where could they not hear Ye Yue's voice, many people began to get nervous, cold sweat dripped down their foreheads, but the imperial guards on both sides had already drawn out the Sen Han sword blade, and no one wanted to leave.
"I know, some of you are very dissatisfied with me, and you are also dissatisfied with your father, and you can even say that you are resentful, you are hateful, at the beginning, my father did use a lot of radical means in order to ascend the throne and purge the forces, which I admit, but what the result is, I think you must have seen it, this has been exchanged for more than ten years of peace in the North Ye Kingdom, and you must first settle down inside, this Taoist ideal must be better understood than me, if you are redundant, I don't want to say it again, after today, I will declare war on the Southern Jade Kingdom, and at that time I want to see you all as one, regardless of each other, rather than fighting openly and secretly, for the benefit of you and meγ β
Speaking of this, Ye Yue deliberately stopped, he looked at these princes and ministers in front of him with a smile, his eyes became more and more gloomy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was creepy, he gently knocked on Ye Bei's coffin, click, click, click......
