Chapter 1233 Funeral

The crescent moon hangs in the night sky, accompanied by stars around it.

A black honor guard was gathering quickly.

Not only were the people dressed in black, but even the horses used were black. The family crest belonging to the Warren royal family also became black and white at this time.

Dressed in black and wearing a funeral hat, Mary walked in the middle of the procession, beside her was Kieran, and behind them was the coffin of James VIII.

There was no body inside, just some personal clothes and belongings.

There are no cumbersome rituals and prayers.

After the team gathered together, they headed towards the cemetery outside Luerderi.

The cemetery of the Warren royal family has always been somewhere behind the Warren palace until James III, but as time went by, more royal dead made the small cemetery not enough. Therefore, in During the time of James IV, the Warren royal family rebuilt a royal cemetery outside Luldree.

Walking out of the gate of the palace, passing through the inner city, the team entered the outer city.

Many civilians appeared on the street.

They changed into black clothes one by one, and spontaneously saw James VIII off.

The king formed by the "combination" of the first crow and James VIII is not a good king in the traditional sense.

But, it's definitely not bad.

He did not impose tyranny, let alone kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Instead, tax cuts are nearly possible every year.

The commoners don't know much more, but they remember that it was this reduction in taxes that kept them through the harsh winters.

For this, they are grateful to His Majesty.

There are more and more civilians seeing off King James VIII on the street.

They whispered prayers.

Some even let out sobs.

Such an atmosphere infected the already solemn team.

Mary, who had been holding back, had tears in her eyes.

Then……

Slowly slide down.

The underage princess did not burst into tears.

For this father, she did not have such deep feelings.

She didn't allow herself to do this either.

‘When you take responsibility, remember to be strong! '

She always keeps her mother's teachings in mind.

Even with Qin Ran as a support, the underage princess will choose to work hard and persevere first.

Qin Ran, who was walking aside, looked at the stubborn Mary with admiration in his eyes.

He appreciates strong people.

Just like he himself is a strong person.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that the two people they met at first quickly became close.

The team moved on.

Passing through the outer city, came to the outside of the city of Luldry, and slowly approached the royal cemetery along the path decorated with black cloth strips.

There are two hundred fully armed guards guarding the royal cemetery. Even if they are called at a critical moment, there will be enough manpower left here.

There is no shortage of tomb robbers in any era.

Especially when faced with such a clear target.

Aidal, dressed in black, stood in front of the cemetery, waiting quietly. When the team entered the cemetery, the old earl did not speak, and followed his old friend's coffin.

For the old earl.

The person in the coffin seemed to be his old friend.

Kieran glanced at the other party.

The other person who hadn't seen him for several days looked even older, his back was already stooped, and his steps were staggering.

Obviously, the news that night was really an incomparable blow to the old earl.

But there was nothing Qin Ran could do about it.

What had happened was not reversed by his or anyone else's will.

The tomb of James VIII is behind the tomb of James VII. The tombs in front are James IV, V, and VI of Warren in turn, and the founding king of Warren appears as a statue At the front of the tomb, the other person, covered in moonlight, was like a god guarding future generations.

Whether alive.

still……

dead.

The last rites of the funeral began.

Escorted by knights, the coffin of James VIII slowly began to enter the tomb.

Except for the pallbearers, only Mary, the heir, could stand on one side. Everyone else gathered in a circle and stood facing outward.

The place where Kieran stood happened to be where he could see the statue of James I. He raised his eyes and stared at the statue.

Even after careful maintenance, the statue will inevitably leave traces of time.

However, even so, you can still see how exquisite the statue was when it was completed, and it was truly lifelike.

But a trace of doubt emerged in Qin Ran's heart.

"You're wondering why there's no statue of James II, the Queen?"

The old count standing next to Qin Ran suddenly spoke.

"Um."

Kieran made no secret of this.

According to the information that Qin Ran learned, the reason why the Warren Kingdom has its current territory is completely inseparable from the original queen.

The other party not only conquered Li Mian Kuanglan, but also expanded its territory and unified the three small kingdoms on the original land.

To put it simply, this queen has a more outstanding record than James I.

Logically speaking, Fang Li should be respected by future generations.

But in fact this is not the case.

Not only in the cemetery, records of that queen are also rare in other places.

Kieran had made some guesses.

But he is more inclined to listen to the opinions of experts, and the old earl beside him is undoubtedly one of the best experts.

Seeing Qin Ran nodding, the old earl suddenly smiled.

He said word for word: "I won't tell you!"

Qin Ran was stunned.

And when Qin Ran looked at him in surprise, the old earl spoke again.

"Dead light."

"Throughout heaven and earth."

"That's what those guys want to know."

"I told you that my task is considered complete."

"No need to thank, let alone be grateful, I just completed the task I should complete."

After saying that, the old count turned and left.

Qin Ran turned around and watched the other person walking towards the tomb of James VIII.

The coffin of James VIII has entered the tomb, which was completely sealed from the inside. The honor guard gathered again to worship the king from a distance.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the old count walked to the tomb and took out a bottle of wine and a wine glass that had been prepared long ago.

boom!

The cork flew high, and the old count poured the wine into two glasses.

"Respect, freedom."

With a loud shout, the old count drank all the wine in his glass.

"Respect, death."

Shouting again, another glass of wine was scattered in front of the tomb of James VIII. Then, the old earl staggered and leaned against the tomb, looking at the night sky with his eyes, his eyes drifted away, and there was no more sound.

He completed the task.

He fulfilled his instructions.

he……

To find his era.

There, there are memories that belong to him.

There, he was surrounded by a group of like-minded friends.

PS, there is a power outage, so Feilong is going to find a power source. The second update will be late, everyone, please forgive me!
