Blood Lord of War

Chapter 216 Funeral

In the early morning, in the restaurant on the second floor of the trading company, Robin and Janna were sitting at opposite ends of the square table, enjoying breakfast.

White bread, blueberry jam, hot milk, sweet oatmeal, hard-boiled eggs, and some vegetables and fruits. This is Robin's breakfast. It can't be said to be luxurious, but it is definitely filling.

Robin peeled a hard-boiled egg very carefully, cleaned every piece of egg crumbs on it, and then handed it to Janna: "Come and eat an egg. As the saying goes, the nutrition of an egg is seven times that of an egg." ”

Janna took the white and tender boiled eggs, but she didn't have much happy expression on her face because she didn't like boiled eggs. The yolk was too dry and tasteless and difficult to swallow.

Robin had a sly smile on his face, because he knew that Janna didn't like to eat, so he was deliberately causing trouble.

Men remain young until they die, and our Lord Baron sometimes has a childish side.

Although Janna didn't like it, after all, Robin peeled it for her personally, so it was impossible not to eat it. In fact, she was still happy, thinking: It seems that the Baron has never peeled Miss Elsa's eggs.

But just as she opened her mouth to enjoy this "love egg", the whole house suddenly shook violently, as if a giant stamped its foot hard outside the house. Janna couldn't hold the egg firmly. It fell from her hand and fell to the floor with a clatter.

She looked down at the broken hard-boiled eggs, feeling a little lucky and a little regretful.

"What's going on?" Robin stood up with a confused look on his face, walked to the window and looked outside.

He saw a large cloud of red dust rising in the Silver Frost City in the distance, like a giant red mushroom rising from the ground.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Janna also ran to his side and looked in the direction he was looking with concern.

Robin's face was solemn, and he had a very bad premonition: "Janna, you have many spies, send them out to find out what's going on."

Janna also had a serious expression and nodded vigorously: "I'll do it right away."

Then, she trotted downstairs.

……

Soon, the news of the vampire attack spread throughout Silver Frost City, and the entire city suddenly fell into a huge panic.

The citizens live under the protection of high walls. They know that humans are fighting with the vampires in the wasteland, but the war is too far away for them, and it is just something they can talk about after dinner. But now, without any warning, the war suddenly came in front of them, showing them the most cruel and real bloodshed without reservation. The citizens who had been sitting back and thinking suddenly found that they were no longer safe.

"Pitter patter... pitter patter..."

Robin was dressed in black and pushed open the door of the business. It was raining lightly outside. The sky was a dark gray, just like Robin's mood at this time.

Janna was also wearing black clothes and a black hat. She ran over from behind and put a black waterproof cloak on Robin's shoulders: "Sir, it's raining outside."

The merchant's servants had prepared the carriage and parked it in the yard, waiting for Robin and Janna.

"Let's go." Robin walked towards the carriage with a heavy heart.

The carriage slowly drove out of the gate of the trading house, turned a few intersections, and entered the main road of Silver Frost City.

In the past, there were only a few hurried figures left on the streets that were bustling with traffic. At this time, no one dared to go out casually. Panic was like weeds, growing crazily and spreading in the hearts of every Silver Frost person. Everyone is afraid that the next massacre of the vampires will fall on themselves.

The carriage drove all the way to the city gate and was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.

"The carriage in front, stop!" A guarding knight raised his hand and blocked the front of the carriage.

There were twice as many guards at the city gate as usual. The soldiers were fully armed and guarding both sides of the city gate. Everyone's face was full of fear.

The city was attacked by the vampires. This was a huge shame to the garrison of Silver Frost City. All the soldiers were holding back a breath of evil in their hearts and wanted to avenge their dead compatriots!

"Who are you? What are you doing out of the city? Do you have a pass?" The guard knight strode to the carriage and asked loudly with a fierce face.

Martial law has been implemented in Yinshuang City. No one is allowed to enter or leave the city without a pass.

The window of the carriage opened, revealing Robin's face. He took out the pass from his arms and stretched it out of the window. The pass was stamped with the seal of Duke Snow Eagle. "I'm going to attend Pastor Feynman's funeral." Robin said expressionlessly.

Hearing Robin say that he was going to attend Pastor Feynman's funeral, the guard knight was slightly startled at first, and then his ferocious face showed a sad expression: "Pastor Feynman is a good man. He cured my son's disease. Damn vampires."

The knight confirmed that there was no problem with the pass, turned around and waved: "Let's go!"

Feynman's body was buried in the Holy Relics Garden of the Holy Light Church around Silverfrost City. The Holy Relics Garden is the official cemetery of the Holy Light Church. Only clergy who have reached a certain level are eligible to be buried here. It can be said that he is buried in The Sacred Heritage Garden itself is a glory.

The funeral started under the rain. Almost all the nobles and clergy of Silver Frost City were present. The entire funeral scene was obviously divided into two waves of people, the clergy wearing white robes and the nobles wearing black robes.

Duke Snow Eagle didn't come, the city was attacked by vampires, and he was busy now. Taking his place was the second in command of the Snow Eagle family, his younger brother Ottov.

The person who presided over the funeral was Bishop Bekas of Silver Frost Diocese. He looked about sixty years old, with an ordinary face and a thin body. He was wearing the red robe of a bishop and holding a thick Holy Light Book in his hand.

The church's choir sang a melodious funeral song for heroes, and six heroic knights of the Holy Light slowly carried Pastor Feynman's coffin into the funeral site. They slowly lowered the coffin into the dug grave, as if For fear of disturbing the heroic spirit in the coffin, the knights were careful with every move they made.

Then, all the people attending the funeral stood up, lined up in a long line, and shoveled earth one at a time to cover the coffin with earth.

Finally, there was the speech by Bekas. He stood in front of Feynman's tombstone. The upper part of the tombstone was engraved with "Pastor Feynman, a respectable man", and the lower part was Feynman's date of birth and death. important deeds.

"Feynman, he is my good friend, a loyal follower of the Holy Light, and a good man who is always worthy of our memory..."

Becas's speech began, but Robin, sitting in the audience below, didn't even hear a word. His mind was filled with the scenes of fighting side by side with Reverend Feynman in the wilderness, and those memory fragments were like slides, constantly flashing back in front of Robin's eyes.

Suddenly, Robin noticed Feynman's wife sitting in the first row. She was holding her daughter, and the mother and daughter were cuddling together. The daughter buried her face in her mother's arms and kept sobbing. The wife's face was ashen and there was no expression on her face, but tears kept flowing down her cheeks.

The originally happy family was broken up in this way, and Robin didn't know how the mother and son would go in the future.

"...May the Holy Light guide Feynman's soul."

The funeral ended with Becas's speech. Robin immediately stood up and walked towards Feynman's wife and daughter.

"lady……"

Feynman's wife was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw Robin, and finally there was a little light in her eyes.

"Baron Robin, thank you for coming to your late husband's funeral." His wife still maintained the most basic etiquette, but her pretending to be strong made Robin feel even more heartbroken.

"You...what are your plans next?" Robin asked.

"I'm going to take my daughter back to the capital."

"Madam, you know that Feynman and I are friends. If you encounter difficulties in the future, although the conditions in my territory are not as good as those in the royal capital, if you want to come, Raging Waves City will always open its door to you."

"Thank you, Baron Robin, but I think I will never return to the North again."

After saying goodbye to Robin, Feynman's wife climbed into the carriage with her daughter in her arms and left.

Robin can understand her choice. For her, the North has become a sad place that she never wants to set foot in again. Except for her late husband's grave, there is nothing here worthy of her nostalgia.

After sending Feynman's wife away, Robin was about to leave, but someone suddenly called him from behind.

"Baron Robin, please stay."

Robin turned around in confusion and was surprised to see Bishop Bekas walking towards him.
