Path of light

Chapter 84 85.Funeral

Priest Andyson fell in front of the Statue of Liberty in the main hall, with a complete divine pattern array surrounding his body.

After the blood on the magic circle dried up, all the breath of holy light was completely lost.

He was reduced to skin and bones, lying on the ground like a skeleton mummy wrapped in oil skin, with only his last breath left, and every breath he took was extremely painful for him.

Dry eyes looked at the Statue of Liberty, with a sad look in their eyes.

After absorbing all his vitality, the Divine Pattern Array was finally completely interrupted.

The divine descending ceremony in the main hall suddenly ended, but the Statue of Liberty did not come. High Priest Reed rushed in first and hugged Priest Anderson who was lying on the ground like a withered body.

High Priest Reed chanted a prayer quickly...

This was the first time that Roy had to read the sacred prayer when he saw him performing magic.

Unexpectedly, he didn't see him drawing the divine pattern, and a ray of holy light fell from the ceiling, completely covering Priest Andyson.

‘Great Holy Light Technique’

The Holy Light began to repair his already exhausted body, but unfortunately, Priest Anderson's aura was getting weaker and weaker.

His eyes had become extremely dim.

Priest Andyson said in an extremely weak voice:

"Reed, don't waste your efforts. No one can save me. I know... I know that my idea is fundamentally wrong. The goddess's holy light cannot shine here. It's not that she wants to abandon this place. Power, I guess she must be trapped in some dark place, where there is endless darkness that the Holy Glory cannot penetrate."

"I should respond to the high priest's call and join the temple expeditionary force as soon as possible instead of giving up on myself here..."

Speaking of this, he looked at the dome of the main hall, and suddenly there was a sparkle in his eyes.

The depths of his eyes were filled with light, and he said to High Priest Reed:

"Sorry, Reed, maybe my death will cause you a lot of trouble."

High Priest Reed shook his head and said: "Andison, stop talking about this. We came to Castletown City together. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't even be able to gain a foothold here."

Priest Anderson's eyes became brighter and brighter, but his aura became weaker and weaker.

His pupils began to slowly expand outward, but you could still hear him saying softly:

"Haha, I'm really free this time, Reed! I saw the steps, the crystal steps, Reed! I saw the diamond gate in the distance! It's really magnificent... Reed, look forward to it We will meet again, but I would rather that day be later..."

Priest Andyson's eyes finally froze, and his breathing stopped a moment ago.

High Priest Reed held his body and brushed his eyelids with one hand. Priest Anderson closed his eyes.

Then there was a silence in the main hall.

Priest Andyson seemed to know that he was going to die. There was actually a coffin in the warehouse. It was a very simple wooden box without any patterns. It was just the right size for him to lie in. There was even a sacred book placed in the coffin in advance. Praying, there was a cloak he usually wore on the bottom of the coffin, and nothing else.

Roy and Abbot carried the light coffin out of the warehouse and placed it in the side hall.

High Priest Reed and Jasper buried Anderson in the coffin.

The burial ceremony of the priests is very simple, because the deceased priests have entered the kingdom of God, so strictly speaking, there is nothing sad about this matter.

After burying Priest Andyson, Roy and Abbott comforted Jasper before returning home before dark.

The rain had cleared up long ago, and although the dark clouds overhead had not dispersed, there was a hint of red clouds on the horizon.

…

All dead elves will be buried in the cemetery.

The Western Suburbs Cemetery is basically the place where dead mixed-blood elves are buried. The elves believe that they are the sons of nature. After death, they will turn into elves and return to nature, until one day a certain elf mother chooses... to be reborn. .

Therefore, a cypress tree will be planted in front of the elves' tombs.

Roy walked in front carrying a shovel, while Abbot and Jasper got a cypress tree in good condition from the tombkeeper and walked behind.

Priest Andyson has been buried in this cemetery. The next step is to plant a cypress tree in front of his tomb and nail his nameplate to the tree.

Roy didn't expect that after only two weeks, he would come to this cemetery again.

You must know that he hung the nameplate on the cypress tree in front of the Windsor Tomb with his own hands!

The ceremony was very simple, including burial, planting a tree, and saying goodbye.

Jasper was in a bad mood.

As they left the cemetery, Abbot and Roy both wanted to find something lighter to talk about.

Passing a hillside in the cemetery, Roy suddenly saw a familiar figure.

To say that he is familiar...in fact, he is not that familiar, but his attire and appearance are somewhat incompatible with the elves in Castletown...

…

Since the last time we met in front of the house and exchanged a few words, this Dark Moon Elf seemed to have disappeared from the world.

Roy thought he would never see him again in this life!

I didn't expect that the two of them would meet in a place like a cemetery. He was still wearing a very slim and tight leather armor, with a dagger hanging on his belt, short white hair, and gray skin - the secret agent who came to investigate the cause of Jefferson's death. Moon Elf.

And it's still a standard Shadow Ranger outfit, as if he's afraid that others won't see that he is an assassin.

He stood next to a cypress tree and looked at Roy from a distance. His eyes were the same as those of Mrs. Winnie's night saber, vigilant and murderous.

Therefore, it makes no sense to let Roy have the illusion that a mackerel can solve the problem.

Roy said hello to Jasper and Abbot, asked them to wait for a moment, and said that there was an acquaintance over there, and he wanted to go over and say hello before leaving...

In fact, the biggest reason why Roy asked Jasper and Abt to wait for him was that he was worried that the Dark Moon Elf would suddenly make some impulsive moves.

Roy walked over and found the young Dark Moon Elf standing in front of Jefferson's tombstone.

The nameplate on the cypress tree is Jefferson's name, and he was buried by the Pier Guards...

"I thought you had left Castletown long ago!"

"That's what I planned too. Unfortunately, things here haven't been settled yet, so we'll have to stay for a while."

"Do you want to track down the murderer who killed Jefferson? For fifty kolers, I can sell you the portraits of those sailors. As you know, asking a painter to paint a self-portrait costs more than this price now. I can give you five. ." Roy stood in front of Jefferson's grave, selling Sabrina's paintings to the Dark Moon Elves.

The young Dark Moon Elf stared at Roy with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and glanced at Roy impatiently:

"Their ship has already left the dock. Besides, Jefferson is just a liaison here. He is not worthy of our doing this."

Roy was a little disappointed to hear that the Dark Moon Elves said that they did not intend to avenge Jefferson.

He couldn't help but mock and said: "So you stay here just to remember this compatriot who is lying in the grave?"

"Don't you think..."

The young Dark Moon Elf was a little angry. He wanted to rush over, grab Roy by the collar, and throw him out...

But seeing his two companions dozens of meters behind Roy, he finally held back after thinking about it.

When Roy saw the dark moon elf's unkind look, he quickly took a step back, spread his hands and said:

"Okay, just pretend we've never met. Anyway, you didn't say anything to me."

"..."

The Dark Moon Elf showed a cold look and didn't want to pay attention to Roy at all.

Roy smiled at him, then turned and left.
