From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 510 State Funeral
"Blood Colonel" Hermann looked at the old man who had stopped breathing and was lying quietly on the ground in front of him, and his expression was slightly moved.

Clang——

He slowly put his jeweled cross sword back into its scabbard, then threw his windbreaker aside, placed one arm across his chest, and silently saluted the old man's body.

This action has nothing to do with one's stance; it is simply a respect for the strong... It is also a heartfelt respect for one's former comrades who died heroically in battle and whose wills were so strong that even in the enemy camp, they were still respected from the bottom of their hearts.

After a fierce battle, the entire square was in ruins. The originally smooth stone floor was badly damaged, with many sword marks, pits, and even deep and long gullies.

At the edge of the square, the black mass of federal troops looked at each other in silence. The senior officers' Adam's apples rolled as they silently took off their berets and imitated the "Blood Colonel" to salute the dead white-haired old man from a distance.

The scene was silent.

Even the "Shoeless Lady" who was seriously injured and covering her broken arm couldn't help but hold her breath when she saw this scene.

Para Celsus...

The chairman of the Bremen Empire, the chief of staff to the Kaiser, the greatest alchemist of our time, the most powerful person in the mysterious field...

Finally, the curtain of his life fell.

This man's legendary experience can be called an epic masterpiece, spanning more than three hundred years of life, and almost witnessed the end of the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages and the advent of a new era.

It also witnessed the establishment, development and growth of the Bremen Empire, and even the birth of many Sichen.

But today, just now...

He closed his eyes forever.

Putting aside positions and camps, and putting aside fighting and hatred for the moment, even "Ms. No Shoes" couldn't help but respect such a strong person from the bottom of her heart.

At this time.

Hermann finished his salute.

He walked forward and was about to pick up Para's sword, called "Philosopher's Sword", as a trophy.

But the next moment.

Hermann's movements faltered.

Because he sensed two terrifying auras suddenly appearing and locking onto him.

If you act rashly, you will be struck by thunder.

"Ah……"

Herman chuckled and slowly looked up.

Two figures appeared on the left and right of Pala's body.

One of them wore a low hat with a tilted brim, a high-collared leather windbreaker, and an exquisite silver-plated spring-wheel pistol slung around his waist.

The other person was wearing a loose white woolen fur robe, had short black hair, a thin face, and extremely deep eyes.

"Long time no see, Carl Adams."

Hellman spoke slowly.

The two people who showed up were none other than the "Skull-Melting Knight" and the "Silent Knight", two of the four great knights in the "Healing Knights" in the past.

"Hellmann, we will bring Pala's body and sword back to the empire, back to our king's side..."

Carl held the brim of his hat with one hand and gently placed the other hand on the spring-loaded pistol at his waist, and said lightly.

"If you want to rob us, we will fight you to the end."

"Oh, that's right." Hermann was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and nodded. "Pala was about to die, and he came to Owena to make a scene before he died. William couldn't have been unaware of this... and his body and sword, which contain the secret of the Philosopher's Stone, couldn't have been handed over to us for research."

"You guys really took advantage of it."

"So, do you want to see which is faster, my gun or your sword?"

Carl still maintained the posture of holding his hat and gun, as if he could strike at any time.

The man in white robe, who had remained silent from beginning to end, also took out a square-headed iron hammer.

He is showing his attitude through his actions.

"You two are still the same as before. Although you don't talk much, you work more seriously than anyone else."

Hellman shook his head.

"My body has been severely injured. It's impossible for me to stop you... As for the other people present, they can't pose any threat to you."

As he said this, he grinned.

"However, it won't be easy for you to take Pala and the Philosopher's Sword away smoothly."

"Hmm?" Carl frowned.

He and Adams suddenly looked behind Hermann, where a large area of ​​yellow sand filled the air.

The yellow sand formed a huge vortex.

Three black dog heads as big as houses slowly emerged from the whirlpool.

The dog's head has a ferocious appearance, with hollow eyes and no eyes. When it grins, it reveals a mouth full of jagged fangs.

Carl and Adams recognized at a glance that this was the manifestation of the "Blind General's" power in the material world... To be more precise, it was the power of his mortal self, the Speaker of the Federal Parliament named Leonidas.

The two looked solemn.

Facing the competition among ourselves, the pressure is naturally great.

Even if the other party did not show up and was just a black dog released casually, the two of them had to be extremely cautious.

The three dog heads shook their heads and roared like thunder in their throats. The barking of the dogs made the hearts of the people present stop for a moment, and even the clouds above the square froze.

It was clearly noon, but the sky was dark.

A terrifying aura descended, covering the entire place.

The troops surrounding the square stared in amazement, shocked by the scene before them.

The Shoeless Lady's pupils shrank sharply.

"Chairman Leonidas..."

She whispered, her heart filled with awe.

Carl took a deep breath and took out a silver coin with a wreath and a cross on one side and a skull on the other.

He was about to flick his fingers and toss the coin. No matter which side the coin landed on, his combat power would be significantly improved... This was the power of the law of "Him" as the "Ferryman".

But at this moment.

A black feather suddenly fell.

Floated into Carl's hands.

It startled him.

When Carl and Adams noticed it, they looked up and saw black feathers falling from the sky.

"It was my king who took action..."

Carl murmured as he bathed in the rain of black feathers.

Suddenly.

"cracking--"

A black bird that was larger than a large fighter jet flew across the sky, making a loud cry.

The sound of the air explosion was rumbling, and the people below felt the ground shaking, and they couldn't help but look up.

All I saw was a huge black shadow passing by, covering the square.

"Blood Colonel" Hermann was also stunned.

The three black dogs behind him growled in fear and became extremely irritable.

at this time.

boom! !

A black column with a diameter of ten meters fell from the sky and suddenly hit the dog's head!

The horrific explosion raised a huge wave of dust!

The whole square trembled!
Boom boom boom! ! !
Only Carl, Adams, and Hellman could see clearly. Even the "Shoeless Lady" could only see vaguely.

That black column was clearly the result of tens of thousands of black feathers, as if countless sharp knives were gathered together and were descending and striking at an invisible speed.

There were three black dog heads, and the one in the middle was torn into pieces in an instant, turning into yellow sand and blood foam all over the sky!
"Let's go!" Carl made a prompt decision and shouted in a deep voice.

He put away the silver coins, bent down and picked up Pala's body. Adams, who was standing by, reacted very quickly and reached out to grab the "Philosopher's Sword" and dragged it away.

The two took a step back and disappeared in an instant.

Almost the next second.

boom! ! !
A dog head suddenly pounced forward, opened its ferocious mouth, and smashed into the place where they were originally.

The square shook again, as if it were bombarded by artillery shells.

The terrible dust even formed a small mushroom cloud that rose into the sky.

"what!"

Screams and exclamations were heard.

The federal army was thrown to the ground, and the five or six tanks that were closer were like toys, being thrown into tumbles by the shock wave and rolling over the ground with rumbling sounds.

The chaos and turmoil lasted for several minutes.

Wait until the dust gradually settles.

Gasps of astonishment and horror rang out one after another, because everyone saw that one-third of the square had become a ruin-like pit.

The dog head, the giant eagle, Pala's sword and the two strange men who suddenly appeared all disappeared.

Only "Bloody Colonel" Hermann was left standing at the edge of the pit with a gloomy expression.

"The head of the empire would rather pay a price and take remote action to cover the retreat of Carl and Adams... Unfortunately, Pala's body and sword were not left behind."

...

...

A few days later.

Dawn calendar, July 1927, 7 AD.

July, the month of hope and order, is here.

But the entire Bremen Empire was plunged into great sorrow.

Mr. Palla Celsus, former Secretary of State to the House of Lords, Grand Scholar at the Court, and Chief of Staff to the Quadrangle, passed away and was given a state funeral.

The general public did not know about his mysterious identity as the chairman and alchemist, but his identity as a medical scientist, Berthollet, was made public, and countless people were shocked, awed, and mourned.

The Sifang Palace announced that Mr. Pala died in a secret operation against the Federation, but he also successfully disrupted Owena's conspiracy to use the "Final Blast" again.

This is a heroic act.

Sacrifice yourself in exchange for the safety of the empire.

Pala's death not only caused heated discussions among all walks of life in Bremen, but also caused a sensation in the mysterious field.

A top-ranking warrior in the world, a great alchemist who transcends time, has fallen...

Perhaps the general public is unaware of this, but the top leaders of various countries, the dignitaries, and various secret religious societies have learned the truth through various channels.

Para Celsus went to the Federation alone, and with just one sword, he turned the capital of Jacobin upside down!
In the General Council of the Owena Federation, all twelve chairmen were killed, more than one hundred people from the five hundred seats died, and more than three hundred were seriously injured. The entire upper echelons of the federation were almost paralyzed.

Not only that, Pala also fought against four people alone, severely injuring "Bloody Colonel" Biwo and "Lady Without Shoes", and killing "Singer" and "Voice Girl" on the spot.

He even used mysterious and bizarre means to cross a space distance of more than ten kilometers, cut out a rift, and attacked and killed two ascenders from the "Elephant Armor Guard Regiment".

A legendary achievement!

The name "White Sage" is revered by mystics all over the world. But this title will also be forever sealed along with his deeds.

In the esoteric cult "Midnight Rose", the leader "Meong" held a memorial service specifically for Pala.

Even the leaders and core members of the "Star Hermitage" and the "Spiritual Society" participated.

Pala's many works and theories throughout his life had a profound impact on this group of mystics who were devoted to studying.

They were saddened by the passing of the master.
