The lid of the coffin was open and Cruise's body was lying inside quietly. The body was surrounded by black silk and black flower petals. He was wearing a black suit and there was a red gem that looked like an eye placed on his chest.
He turned around and walked to the family on the right.
The man saw Angele walking to him and greeted the wizards politely. He then turned around and walked to Angele.
Angele looked at the three children with mixed feelings. He shook his head and walked to the crowd on the left.
Angele glanced at him but did not ask any questions.
Angele walked along the main road and saw funeral processions with white and black coffins everywhere.
Juncker looked at the coffin that was slowly being lowered into the grave. There was a hint of fear in his eyes. 'I used to think that wizards were the strongest group in this world and that we could live the best life in this world. Why didn't these people enjoy it? Why did they have to fight for their lives? Now that I've seen Master Cruise, I understand something … '
Angele stood in front of the body and heard the crying of the family members on the right.
"Master Green, you're back."
The powder was invented by a master necromancer a long time ago to prevent necromancers from summoning the dead body.
"Julie, if you need any help, feel free to come to me. Don't mention it. I had a good relationship with your father when he was still alive. He was a respectable man, "Angele spoke in a light tone.
Groups of people were gathered in front of different tombs. Some were slowly lowering the coffins, while some were chanting the eulogy for the dead in a low voice.
Three of the ten people in the city were having a funeral. The whole city was filled with sadness.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The coffins were lowered into the graves quickly and some flowers were placed on top of them.
Angele nodded as he walked to the coffin. He walked to the coffin and stood beside it.
"Thank you …" Julie was the oldest of the three children. Her eyes were red and there were tears rolling down her cheeks. "Thank you, Master Green …"
The old man was a good friend of Cruise and he liked him a lot.
"The Mermaid's Song isn't that bad. I heard that six out of ten people in War Drum City have to attend funerals." He paused for a moment before continuing, "This time, a legion at the frontline fell into the White City Alliance's trap. Tens of thousands of people fell and were buried alive by those bastards of the Alliance. Only a few hundred survived …"
"Is that so? Those bastards from White City … "Angele cursed and thought for a while." Take care of Julie and the other kids when I'm not in the Mermaid's Song. They'll only be with us for a few decades. "
On one side, the band slowly played a melodious and sorrowful tune. The sound of a violin matched with the lightness of a harp, faintly revealing a trace of ethereality.
Twenty to thirty people stood in groups, each holding a bunch of white flowers in their hands. A small band was playing a harp and a violin, and the mournful music made the place even more quiet and dreary.
Under the dim light of the setting sun, some people arrived and stood by the side.
Angele turned around and saw Julie and the two kids standing behind him. The girl was holding the girl's hand and the two kids were looking at Angele with a pleading expression on their faces.
Angele put away the gifts and left the ruin with them. He started heading to the Mermaid's Song.
He bowed slightly and took out a small black box from his sleeve. The box had no engravings on it. He carefully put the box into the coffin and placed it on the right side of the body.
There were only several people left in the tomb. Angele turned around and was about to leave.
He followed the main road of the city and turned into a small road on the right. Most of the people on the road were women, children, young girls, and old people. There were barely any young men in the group.
"Head … You're back as well." Several young wizards with pale faces walked to Angele and greeted him in a low voice.
These young wizards were Angele's direct subordinates in the department. They were the leaders of the Human Resources Department and each of them had around thirty people working for them. They were all rank 1 wizards and they were the core members of the Human Resources Department.
"Unfortunately, it's true this time." Dean Barry held the highest position in one of the three academies in Mermaid's Song. He was also one of the most powerful people in Mermaid's Song.
The Mermaid's Song was not far from the ruin. It only took them about ten days to arrive at the ruin.
"What happened, Julie?" Angele lowered his voice.
"That's right … For us, it's only a few decades or a hundred years … but for them, it's an entire lifetime," Barry lamented.
Angele was wearing a black robe and walking in the dark alley. He followed the direction of the communication rune.
"Dean Barry, it's only been two years. What happened this time? Was it really an accident? "Angele's brow furrowed. "I didn't expect something like this to happen to Cruise. He's a very cautious person."
Barry looked at the three children. "I'm alone and I need to bring my students to the frontline. I won't be able to take care of them. I'll need you and Biado to take care of them. One of you is the vice head and the other one is Cruise's closest subordinate. I'll need your help in the future. "
Angele walked to a group of people that was standing beside a small forest.
The sky slowly turned dark and gloomy. The wind was getting louder and louder. Dark clouds started appearing in the sky.
Angele raised his right hand and a black metal umbrella appeared on his body. The umbrella quickly covered his head with it. It was the same umbrella as the others.
There was a boy around five years old standing on the right and two young girls. All of them had blonde hair and beautiful faces.
The raindrops hit the surface of the umbrella, making a slight pitter-patter sound.
However, the youngest of the three was a boy and they were destined to be mortals for the rest of their lives.
Angele sat in the mansion for a while and checked the status of the magic circle. The magic crystal card could last for about half a year. He returned to the main world and bought some food for Freia before returning to the main world.
"Cruise Ainzhi Baylon. He was the vice head of the North Iceland City when he was alive. He was the head of the human resource department in the main city of the Mermaid's Song … "The old man started describing Cruise's achievements in a deep and hoarse voice.
Under the setting sun, the neat white tombstones were dyed solemn and quiet.
A wizard was reading a black book in his hand, preparing to recite a eulogy.
In the crater ruins, Morian and the other two rested for a while and then got up to leave. They each left a gift for Vivian.
Most of them were dressed in black or dark-colored clothes, and their faces were solemn and solemn.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Angele's sight fell upon the three children. He was reminded of Freia and Freia in the Nightmare Realm.
The old wizard's friends sprinkled some silver powder on the dead bodies after he finished the eulogy. The glowing powder slowly landed on the surface of the dead bodies, giving them a silver glow.
"Cruise's life is coming to an end, so he had to take the risk. If he succeeded, he could live for another 100 years, but …" Barry sighed. "Sadly, his wife passed away when he was young. His three children were all alone."
The wizards started leaving the area.
The leading wizard named Juncker had a bitter expression on his face.
Angele knew what he was trying to say. "Yeah, Julie and the others are in trouble. Their families will abandon them if they don't have the talent to become a wizard. That's the rule in the central continent. Those who don't have the talent to become a wizard will not be accepted by their families. They are mortals and they can rely on their father for some time, but they will be in trouble in the future. What's your plan then? "
Angele and Barry stood together and stopped talking. The other wizards did not dare to disturb them.
"Uncle Green." A tender voice called him from behind.
The whole city was in a mess. Angele could hear people crying on the streets as he entered the city.
There were many white flowers around the coffins.
Angele nodded. "It's fine. Cruise and I are good friends. Although we are not on the same path, I respect people like him who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their dreams. I'll take good care of his three children. Perhaps it would be better to let them live out their lives in peace. "
Angele walked to the coffin and patted the head of a girl who was about 18 years old.
Very soon, raindrops the size of beans began to fall from the sky. It was as if they were pouring downwards in large swathes.
Amidst the banging sounds of umbrellas, a sea of black umbrellas quickly appeared at the side of the funeral.
"Master Green, long time no see." He hugged Angele slightly.
"Master Green."
"Junker, what's going on with the Mermaid's Song? Why are they holding funerals everywhere? 'Angele watched as the people lifted the coffins and put the coffins back into the graves. He questioned using energy particles. "I just came back, so I don't know what's going on."
A bald old wizard wearing a black robe with golden edges walked to the coffin and stopped facing the crowd. There was a thick black book in his hand.
There was a tall man wearing a dark green swordsman suit in the crowd on the left. He was talking to several other wizards in a low voice.
The funeral started soon.
Several minutes later, the dark alley disappeared from Angele's sight. A vast green grassland filled with white marble tombstones appeared in front of him.
Several wizards noticed Angele as he walked to the graveyard. They all greeted him.
One was a member of the Crown Prince Society, and the other was a powerful expert. Although everyone wanted to get in touch with them, no one would be so stupid as to ruin the atmosphere.
