After nearly half a year of construction, Hailot Manor was put into use.

Cloudland Mountain has also changed a lot from before.

The most striking thing is that a towering wall surrounds the entire mountain. There are guard towers built at regular intervals on the wall, and a small team of undead are stationed inside, on duty 24 hours a day, without any shift changes, and there are no blind spots for surveillance.

The mountain was built into a large cemetery. The Crowlund family allowed the residents of Covenant City to bury the remains of their deceased relatives in this cemetery, and the spirits of the dead would guard their peace after death. This is also the tradition of the Claude family. Respecting death is the rule of the gravekeepers.

In the past, it was an honor to be buried in the cemetery guarded by the Claulund family, because no matter what the status of the person being buried, the Claulund family would definitely send at least one clan member to attend the funeral. The Claulund family will diligently maintain and repair each tomb, and guarding the tomb is more than just a "name".

But with the decline of the Claulund family and the rogue behavior of the corpse stitchers, the undead and the necromancer gradually turned into a terrifying thing that people were shocked to hear. The Claurend family wants a true revival, not just to restore the family's prestige and status, but also the faith that their ancestors wanted to protect.

The undead are not opposed to the living, and the undead even respect death more than the living.

Now, as Helot's fame grows, some people begin to take the initiative to learn about the legendary Claulund family, what real undead magic is, what the undead are, as well as tombkeepers and corpse stitchers. difference.

The important thing is...the Claude Cemetery is free!

A funeral was held at Crowlund Hill Cemetery.

The deceased was from a poor family, which could be seen from the clothing of the family members attending the funeral. The coffin containing the body was also the cheapest.

The funeral begins.

There is no gorgeous eulogy, no grand ceremony.

The family members of the deceased gathered around the grave, feeling fear and curiosity about the souls of the deceased amid their grief.

The coffin was carried by six skeletons and slowly placed in the dug grave.

The cold wind on the mountain made the atmosphere very heavy.

As the only member of the Claude family now, Herot stood on the edge of the grave with the family members of the deceased, watching as the earth buried the coffin little by little.

The short distance is the gap between life and death. The dead are gone and will never look back.

Helot had attended many funerals before, but this was the first time he attended a stranger's funeral. Therefore, he could stand as a bystander and watch everything that happened calmly.

As the funeral progressed, the cautiousness of the deceased made the family members no longer fearful at first, and the sadness caused some people to cry unconsciously.

The ghosts in the distance followed with a low groan.

The special feeling gave Herot some insights into the rules left by his ancestors. The exploration of death cannot just stay at the magical level. It is true to be too objective, but some things in this world cannot be completely solved using magic formulas. Go figure.

Death cannot be separated from life. The living's thoughts and condolences for the deceased are also part of death.

The traces of the dead will remain in the world of the living for a long time.

Helot and the family of the deceased express their sincere condolences...

The simple funeral ended quickly, and steward Kurt sent the family of the deceased away from the cemetery.

"Every Sunday is the open day of the Clallund Cemetery. You can come here to visit your relatives and friends buried here. In principle, it is not open to the public at other times. Of course, under special circumstances, you can apply at the duty office."

Kurt's temperament makes it easy for people to ignore his undead identity. That kind of affinity allows him to deal with any type of guests.

Outside the cemetery gate, the wife of the deceased expressed her gratitude to Kurt.

The free cemetery and free burial provided by Crowlund Cemetery saved her family a lot of money.

"Thank you, Mr. Kurt!" The old woman saluted to Kurt: "Please also express my gratitude to Mr. Claude on my behalf. I should have gone to Helot Manor to thank Mr. Claude in person. Yes, but my status is low and I am not qualified to see the great Duke of the Undead."

Kurt was shocked at first, and then he saluted and apologized to the old woman: "I'm sorry! I haven't hosted a funeral for a long time, so I made such a serious mistake. I forgot to introduce it. I just accompanied you and your family to watch Mr. Milny. The young man buried is the owner of this place, Helot Claude.”

The old woman was shocked on the spot!

Her family and friends were all stunned on the spot!

Mr. Claude, the great Duke of the Dead actually came to attend the funeral of a little person like them...

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry..." the old woman said incoherently: "I thought he was a servant of the Claude family, but I didn't expect him to be the Duke. We are so rude, so rude. I hope the Duke will not blame... …”

Kurt was still gentle: "You don't need to apologize. There is no distinction between high and low status at the funeral of the deceased. This is the rule of the Claude family. Only remembering the deceased at the funeral is a sign of respect for the deceased.

There is one more thing that needs to be corrected. My master, Mr. Claude, is now a commoner, not a duke. "

"No!" the old woman said firmly: "In our hearts, Mr. Claude is the Duke of the Dead."

The child who followed him to attend the funeral shouted: "I know that Duke Claude is one of the twelve founding Dukes of the Empire. I can memorize all the thirteen founding families."

Then the child counted on his fingers and recited the names of the thirteen families.

The Golden Family, Bradley.

The Old Ones Family, Claulund.

The Ice Family, Elvin.

The Violet Family, Holman.

The War Mad Family, Kellis.

The Hurricane Family, Hackson.

The War Blade Family, Perez.

The Red Flame Family, Stuart.

The Dark Family, Denasi.

The Mountaintop Family, Evans.

The Blue Family, Moore.

The Free Wing Family, Graham.

The Valkyrie Family, Veronica.

The thirteen families and the twelve founding dukes are names that every citizen of the empire must remember. They have all made outstanding contributions to the shaping of this great empire. Even though most of the founding families have disappeared, no one can erase their names from the first constitution of the empire.

And as information exchange becomes more and more convenient, the public has access to more and more media, and the bloody chaos that has been sealed for hundreds of years has gradually emerged in the public eye.

In particular, a novel called "Blood Rose" has been selling well recently, and it describes the history of the feud between the thirteen clans.

When this novel appeared, the Empire listed it as a banned book. But the more it is banned, the more people want to read it...
