The memorial ceremony for the victims was held in Helena Cemetery. In fact, except for Leonie, the bodies of the other victims had been returned to their respective hometowns. However, in order to make it easier for their classmates and teachers to offer their condolences, the school built a small monument next to Leonie's grave and engraved the names of the victims on it. Ironically, because part of the truth of the incident had not been announced to the public, Xavier's name was also on it.
Xavier had stayed in Siames for a long time and taught many students. He also had some friends in the city. When they heard that he had been killed in this incident, many people expressed their condolences. Some graduates and some mages in the city also appeared at the condolence ceremony in the afternoon.
About a week ago, the garrison had completed all the investigations related to the incident and announced that the case was officially closed. The investigation confirmed that the terrorist attack was carried out by a group of famous cults in the south, and the monster that appeared in the freshmen arena was secretly bred by them using evil methods. Their goal was very old-fashioned, it was still the same thing that destroyed the world and so on.
After that, in order to appease the people, the Third Holy Knight Regiment stationed in the south sent out two elite squads, ready to completely eradicate this notorious evil cult.
Rob was not surprised by this. Ordinary people did not know about the existence of the Heresy Court, and there was no relevant evidence. Even if the Temple of Light suddenly stood up and admitted it, no one would believe that this terrible monster was brought into this world by these priests who healed the dying and healed the wounded. In the end, the so-called cult would, of course, take the blame. Anyway, these guys were already notorious. Even if they wanted to refute it, no one would believe them. The future Supreme Mage even suspected that some of the southern cult groups were secretly supported by Morteris, so that they could cooperate with the Heresy Court when necessary.
Subsequently, the condolence ceremony was presided over by Teacher Harvey. In the middle of the ceremony, there was a small interlude. Caesar, who had been taken away by the garrison after leaving the underground city and only regained his freedom after the trial, also came to the scene. His appearance caused a commotion. Most of the people who had participated in the freshmen competition did not think that this guy was innocent, but in the end, he managed to escape punishment by some unknown means. Now, he had regained his identity as the young master of the Andrea Family. It was said that he would continue to study in school next week, but the most surprising thing was that he did not choose to transfer schools. It seemed that he would continue to study in Siames.
But the problem was that his current reputation among the freshmen couldn't be any worse. Originally, Caesar, who was regarded as the best candidate for the next student council president, had now become a street rat. Everyone wanted to avoid him, and no one knew how he was going to continue studying and living in the school in the future.
However, Caesar did not seem to be troubled in this aspect. When he appeared in front of everyone again after more than a month, no one could associate him with the pale and dejected teenager who had just come out of the underground city. His complexion looked good, and the corner of his mouth was curved into a sunny smile that had not been seen for a long time. But now, behind the sunny smile, there was an additional calmness that did not match his age.
There was indeed something different about him. This change was not on the surface, but from the depths of his soul, causing his entire temperament to change.
If one did not consider what he had done and only looked at his current appearance, it would be more lethal to women. At the same time, it would also make the male students look at him with more vigilance. However, since the verdict was announced, no one dared to openly insult or provoke him. Those who had insulted him before could not help but lower their heads and did not dare to look into his eyes, for fear that he would remember what they had done before.
Because Caesar had once again returned to the embrace of the Andrea Family and regained what he had lost. However, he did not seem to be satisfied. If it was in the past, he would have long thought about how to retaliate and humiliate those who had hurt him. He could not wait to see those people crawling at his feet and begging for mercy. But now, he seemed to have lost interest in this kind of thing and had no intention to pursue it. He bent down and placed the bouquet of white lilies in front of the stone tablet. After that, he silently retreated to the side and kept quiet.
When the condolence ceremony ended, he walked up to Rob and Lolo. He first nodded to the former and then greeted the girl, "Miss Lolo, long time no see."
Lolo frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"The deceased are my teachers and classmates. It's reasonable for me to come and mourn them," Caesar said politely.
Luo Luo was speechless. "Don't you know why everyone looked at you so strangely when you showed up? You're the reason why these people died, aren't you? If you didn't tell the monster about us, it wouldn't have attacked the camp so quickly."
"However, the court seems to have a different opinion from you, Miss Lolo." The young master of the Andrea Family shook his head. "I'm not here to argue with you today. Mourning is only one aspect. In fact, my main purpose is to see you. I have something to tell you. But there are too many people here. If it's possible, let's walk to the back.
The girl refused without hesitation. "I'm sorry. I don't think there's anything to talk about between us."
Caesar was not too surprised to hear that. "I know that my previous stupidity and self-righteousness have brought you a lot of trouble, Miss Lolo. But if you are willing to give me another chance, you will find that I'm now a completely different person from the past."
The young man's words were sincere, but Lolo was unmoved. It was not until Caesar whispered something in her ear that her expression suddenly changed.
The young master of the Andrea Family looked a little helpless. "Miss Lolo, are you willing to talk to me now? I really mean no harm this time. If you are worried, you can come with me. At least in this matter, our interests should be the same." His last sentence was directed at Rob.
"Where are we going?" Lolo asked after a moment of silence.
