Chapter 1031: You Did It, Old Man (Dungeon Ends/Super Large Chapter, Please Vote for Me)
"A year ago, the Elan people chose Lynn to be mayor of this city."
The slightly slender Lant stood behind the solid wood podium in the pouring rain, looking forward.
In front of him was the coffin covered with a white jasmine flag that had just been placed on the mechanical platform by eight coffin bearers.
The falling peach and plum petals brushed against the wet flag along with the raindrops.
"He has experienced many careers in his life. He has been a columnist, a doctor, a member of the city council, a cabinet minister, and even the speaker of the city council,"
Looking at the dense sea of people in front of him, Lant's calm voice echoed in everyone's ears through the microphone and hidden speakers, "But in the end, when he found that none of this could achieve his ideals, he chose to ask the mayor Launched an impact.
“He ran for mayor four times, but failed the first three times. The Yilan Morning News once jokingly called him the ‘mayor’s runner’.
"But we all know that his failure was not due to a defect in his ability or moral character, but because he was on a path that was almost impossible to succeed.
“His enemies are not just his election opponents, but the two major conglomerates that have controlled this city for hundreds of years. Their tentacles are spread across all walks of life, and their servants stretch from the White Jasmine Palace to the southern neighborhoods.
“But we all know that even in the face of this powerful enemy, he still succeeded in the end.
"The Yilan people finally relied on their own efforts to push their own mayor to that position."
The calm and heavy voice with a bit of history echoed under the silent rain curtain. The shadows in the crowd raised their heads and stared at the speech figure and the silent coffin in front of the figure.
The raindrops hit the soil and made a soft sound.
"Compared to the average age of forty to fifty when a federal mayor is first elected, he is indeed old, but human history has proven countless times that heroes do not care about their age.
“When he stands in the position that should belong to him, he is destined to bloom with a brilliance that makes even his fate dim.
“Opposition, impeachment, assassination, rebellion, siege, and the arrival of the evil god, he encountered turmoil and counterattacks that had never been seen in Yilan City in the past eight hundred years.
"Any ordinary mayor, faced with just one or two of the previous items, would probably shrink back and submit.
“But when he faced this crisis that could overturn the city and destroy everything, he showed outstanding talents and genius-like actions.
“He held the sail of Yilan City in the turbulent waves, and held the reins of the times in the storm.
"The sound of victory in the war spread from the southern city to the northern city, and the story of the evil god's defeat spread from the Sea of Storms to the northern ice plains.
"There is an old proverb in the city of Yilan, gold needs to be placed in the flames to show its glorious color, and sailors need to be in the storm to reveal their talents.
“The more dangerous the situation, the more talented and capable the hero is.
“I’m afraid even Copes Mining and Ives Space System have to admit that the storms created by them have created the most brilliant glory in the history of Elan.
"He was not only an outstanding politician, but also an outstanding military genius. Even if he left only one case of military tactics, I think it would be enough to be engraved in the textbooks of the Federal Military Academy.
"In the long history of Yilan City, there have been many mayors who have been imprinted by this position. A wonderful resume that says 'Mayor of Yilan City' has become the main topic of conversation for them after dinner in the rest of their mediocre lives.
"But there are always some people in the world who are different. The 'label' of mayor of Yilan City will not leave a mark on their lives. Instead, they will leave a permanent mark on Yilan City."
Lant raised his head and looked at the dense crowd in front of him.
“We can hear the clanking of bells, which is when a brand new hospital is being built, and we can hear the sound of gears and motors whirling, which is when idle factories are being restarted.
"We all know that a new era has arrived. This is an era that belongs to Lynn and all Elan people."
His voice gradually rose, echoing in everyone's ears,
"A person's body may be destroyed, but his spirit will never die.
"The united Elan people will be here today and will be here forever.
“A year ago, the Elan people handed over this city to Linn, and now, he has returned this city that is being renovated to us, and we will continue to move forward along the path he guided.
"The road ahead is indeed full of dangers, but the united Elan people will eventually win the final victory!
“I now announce that in accordance with the resolution of the Elan City Council, Lynn will be granted the title of permanent honorary mayor of Elan City, and his immediate family members will be treated as the mayor’s immediate family members.”
He raised his hand and shouted, "Long live Elan! Long live Mr. Lynn!"
"Long live Elan! Long live Mr. Linn!"
The white billboard was raised high, and the echo of the mountain roar undulated throughout the city. Even the scattered raindrops in the sky trembled in the tsunami-like sound.
The military band surrounding the coffin played long music. The lower part of the mechanical structure supporting the coffin opened, revealing the grave that had been dug. Then the entire mechanical structure began to sink slowly.
Standing among the concierges in the front row, Kostos turned back and looked at the surging crowd with a long look.
The red-haired girl on the side of the coffin just stared at the sinking coffin quietly, holding the small bag of gummy bears that had been crumpled tightly with both hands.

"he died."
Among the excited crowd, two men in suits were looking at the slowly falling coffin through the gaps in the crowd. At this moment, the man on the right was speaking softly.
"But not in the way we wanted."
The man on the left shook his head slowly.
"I can only think of other ways."
The man on the right sighed.
"When power is transferred, there will always be issues of uneven distribution."
The man on the left also sighed softly.
"But just let their funeral go on smoothly?"
The man on the right is thoughtful.
"Our tentacles here have basically been pulled out by that old guy Lynn, and we can't find anyone now,"
The man on the left glanced around, held his chin, and said thoughtfully, "But as long as you have money, you may not be unable to..."
"excuse me,"
At this moment, a naughty young man came over and looked at the two of them, "Are these two gentlemen working for the consortium?"
"What did you say?"
The man on the left was stunned for a moment, looking at the young man with some vigilance and confusion.
"Is such that,"
The young man came over carefully, looked at the two vigilant men, and whispered, "I lost all my money recently. I want to make some money to spend, but I have no way to make money."
The two men looked at each other.
"How much do you want?"
The man on the right asked in a low voice.
"one···"
The young man hesitated for a moment, then gestured to one, then quickly changed to two, and finally stretched out five fingers, "Fifty thousand!"
The man on the left and the man on the right exchanged glances and said with a smile, "You are quite greedy."
He glanced at the cheap clothes on the man's body and the looming tattoos on his arms, and said slowly, "Are you alone?"
"We still have a lot of brothers around here,"
The young man hesitated for a moment, then looked at the two men in front of him, "But my brothers must have the same price as me, and the money must be given to me first."
"You want to pump water, right?"
The man on the left looked at the young man and said with a smile, "Yes, as long as you are willing to do it, the price is negotiable."
"Well, gentlemen,"
The young man looked at the two men and asked in a low voice, "Are you really the masters of the consortium?"
Then he hesitantly explained under the suspicious and wary gazes of the two of them, "You know, we brothers on the street won't be willing to take risks without seeing real money..."
"Are you suspecting that we have no money?"
The man on the right sneered, took out a black electronic identity card from his pocket, and showed it in front of the young man, "Ives Space System Special Operations Department."
"well,"
The young man carefully leaned his head over and looked at the identity and position information displayed on the card and the overlapping triangular emblem of the logo. He said in a slightly drawn-out tone, "He is really the master of the consortium."
Then he looked at the slightly disdainful looks of the two people and said with a smile, "You two, wait a moment, I will call someone for you right now."
Immediately, he took half a step back, took out a swing stick from his back pocket, glanced at the excited crowd around him, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, this is a lackey of a consortium!!!"
The chanting around him fell silent.
The moment the young man roared, the two men changed their expressions and prepared to flee, but the retreat was blocked by the crowd who reacted.
The man on the right didn't even have time to take away the identity card in his hand.
Then, mixed with the roar of billiard balls and shouts of pain, more noisy sounds rang out from the surrounding crowd.
The guards on the side quickly pushed their way into the crowd.
······
Amidst this restless sound, the dark coffin sank completely into the tomb, and the mechanical masks that were set up began to cover the coffin layer by layer.
The red-haired girl, who had been staring at the coffin calmly without moving her eyes, looked at the layers of machinery and soil slowly covering the coffin, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
She gently tore open the gummy bear in her hand, shrugged the tip of her nose, and put the soft candy into her mouth.
Scattered raindrops passed through the ends of her hair and covered her cheeks. The bitter droplets seeped into her lips as the girl chewed slowly, mixed with the sweet candy, and melted in her mouth.

"The main area of the southern block has been rebuilt. After reconstruction, the southern block will be a large-scale economic zone with factories, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, and integrated production and housing."
"Residents who used to live in the southern neighborhood and have real estate can be allocated a property of a corresponding nature for free. Those who do not have a real estate can get it at free or very low rent as long as they hold a work certificate in the vicinity of the southern neighborhood. My own apartment.”
"Of course, citizens in other areas don't need to worry. Most areas in Ningweis District and Sena District are already in the next step of the city government's reconstruction plan..."
Looking at the excited and enthusiastic introduction by the red-shirted host with the bracelet, Covey, who was sitting on the chair, put down the bracelet, turned his eyes and looked around.
The morning sun rises from the end of the sky. Brand-new and magnificent buildings stand in the fiery red sunlight. The warm radiance illuminates the smiles on the faces of passers-by.
"Last month, this was still a land of shabby houses and smelly ditches. People were wearing dirty clothes and walking tiredly on the streets. They might die in factories or mines. With luck, they might die. Died in gang shootout,
"Live like a wild dog."
The old man raised his hand and picked up the wine bottle on the table next to him. He looked at the passers-by and said with a hoarse smile, "I was like this when I was a child, and my nephews were like this when they were young. Decades have passed like this, but ,"
He raised his head and looked ahead.
In the shopping street in the distance, a little boy and his mother were hanging the brand new 'Wells Bracelet Repair' sign at the narrow shop door with the help of neighbors.
Laughing children in new clothes darted by under the ladder, "They won't have to do this anymore."
"The sun is so nice, old man,"
He raised his head and glanced at the bright morning sun again. The flowing clouds brushed the shadows of the sun, stretching his body in the scattered sunlight.
The old man turned his head and looked at the empty seat next to him and the two empty wine glasses on the low table between the two seats.
He raised the wine bottle, looked at the empty seat with turbid eyes, and poured the red wine under the sun into the crystal wine glass next to the seat little by little.
"You did it, old man, you did it."
