Chapter 422 Funeral

In June, the warm spring has passed, and the warm summer has arrived with the breath of all things flourishing.

The sun is shining brightly today, the blue sky, white clouds, the gentle breeze blowing by, the grass and trees rustling, everyone who sees it should feel relaxed and happy.

But Loen Palace was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

A huge funeral is taking place.

The body of Wizard Irvine lay in a coffin surrounded by flowers. After careful preparation, his expression was peaceful, as if he had just fallen asleep.

The guests before the coffin all wore black witch robes, which was a funeral tradition and a sign of respect for Wizard Irvine.

"Looking back at the legendary life of Irvin Rune, we have to admit that he was an admirable and great wizard..."

The host of the funeral was a first-level wizard. In terms of blood relationship, Wizard Erwin was his uncle. At this moment, he was reciting the eulogy. His eyes seemed to be fascinated by the oncoming summer wind. His eyes were reddish, his hair was flying randomly, and he felt sad. .

He truly felt sad for the passing of Wizard Irvine, because it represented the complete decline of the Rune family.

Slight sobs came from the Luen family members standing at the front, and most of them had red eyes.

Jennifer stood on the right side of the front row, looking through the swaying flowers to great-grandfather Irvine in the coffin. Her nose couldn't help but twitch, and she wiped the tears that were about to fall with her right hand.

The presiding wizard finished the eulogy, and after all the guests went to the coffin to pay their respects to the remains, the last step of the funeral came - burial.

The Luen Palace covers a large area, and there is a small hillside to the south of the palace, which is the exclusive cemetery of the Luen family.

The vast funeral procession marched along the neat stone road in the palace towards the royal cemetery.

Allen walked at the end of the team, raising his head and looking at the luxurious buildings everywhere.

"Alan, watch your behavior." The uncle walking beside Alan scolded him with a frown.

Allen said disapprovingly: "I'm just taking a look at my future palace in advance. Is there any problem, uncle?"

"Don't be too happy. That old guy Irvine is dead, but there are still several first-level wizards in the Loen family, and no one knows if they still have any background."

Goss emphasized that there was not much he could do against the most talented boy in the family.

So the emphasis he said was just like a breeze blowing by, and Allen didn't care:

"Uncle, my father is currently the only second-level wizard in the Loen Kingdom. No matter how many first-level wizards there are in the Loen family, what will happen?"

"What's more, we originally planned to take action after the funeral. If the people of the Luen family are angry when they see me like this, that will give us the best reason, right?"

Goss opened his mouth, but finally fell silent, no longer controlling the young man, and allowed him to look around freely in the solemn funeral procession.

But maybe because they were at the end, even though Allen was so arrogant, it didn't cause any surprises.

The team arrived at the hillside cemetery smoothly.

The place where Wizard Erwin is buried has already been determined. It is at the top of the hillside and is the exclusive burial area for the patriarchs of the past generations.

The black coffin was slowly lowered into the dug cemetery. In order to prevent the dead body from being desecrated, Irvine, who was still sleeping peacefully before, now turned into a ball of ashes after the coffin lid was closed.

The first-level wizards of the Loen family lined up in a long queue, one by one picking up the steel shovels next to the cemetery and filling the coffins with soil.

Jennifer was ranked last because she had the least qualifications. She held the steel shovel, and her expression remained calm except for the slightly red eyes.

'Great Grandfather Irvine, rest in peace. ’

She used a steel shovel to scoop up the last handful of soil and put it on Irvine's coffin.

Afterwards, the presiding wizard recited a spell, and the tomb was instantly buried by the surrounding soil. A white stone tablet grew out of the earth. Then, lines of text recording the life of Wizard Irvine appeared on the stone tablet like vines. .

At this point, Wizard Irvine's funeral has basically ended.

Jennifer put down the shovel and retreated into the crowd.

The host, Wizard Joe, was preparing to recite the last eulogy, announce the end of the funeral, and invite the guests to the banquet hall.

An uninvited guest suddenly fell from the sky.

"Sorry, I'm late."

This is a middle-aged man with a thick ponytail. His skin is pale and old, and his green eyes seem to be covered with a layer of mist, which is a bit eerie.

He looked at everyone in the Luen family and gave a noble salute.

'Father! ’ Allen in the crowd looked happy, lifted up his black hood, and strode forward without hesitation.

Following his movements, nearly 60% of the wizards among the guests also lifted their hoods and followed him forward.

"Duke Harris?"

"How is this going?"

Because of such a sudden change, the scene suddenly became chaotic. Some guests who did not come forward remained silent, as if they had expected this.

But more guests who didn't come forward were still confused and couldn't help but whisper with their companions beside them.

"Harris, what do you mean?" The host wizard Qiao's face darkened and he asked in a deep voice.

"What do you mean... Of course I'm here to attend Mr. Erwin's funeral."

Harris smiled, and without waiting for the Luen family to respond, he stepped forward, showing off his aura as a second-level wizard!

The powerful magic power fluctuations silenced the scene, and many guests showed horrified looks.

"Have you become a second-level wizard?" Qiao asked with an ugly face.

"Yes." Harris nodded gracefully, then stopped covering up and said straightforwardly:

"Your Excellency Erwin has passed away. The Kingdom of Loen is now in panic due to farmland pollution, and all kinds of chaos are emerging... As the only second-level wizard in the kingdom, I should stand up and take on the responsibility of managing this great country, right? "

As soon as Harris' words came out, both the Luen family and the guests immediately understood the current situation.

Harris, or the Sidney family, obviously wants to seize the power of the Roen royal family!

"Yu Li, I am the strongest second-level wizard in the kingdom now. Yu Qing, the Sidney family has married several princesses in the past, and they are also Lun orthodox... I think you won't have any objections, right? "

Harris continued, and the guests gathered behind him spoke up at the right time:

"Duke Harris is right. The Kingdom of Loen is currently in turmoil, and a more powerful king should rule this country!"

The Luen family fell into silence.

If it were in a world without extraordinary power, there should be a large group of people surrounding this place to force the Loen royal family.

But in the wizarding world, it is enough for the second-level Harris to stand here alone.

‘How can you be so shameless! ’ Jennifer gritted her silver teeth and glared at Harris, wanting to burst out the angry words in her heart.

What is Loen orthodoxy? Apart from marrying a few princesses without wizard talents, the Harris family has nothing to do with the Loen family!

They have ruled the Ti Laimei Plain for thousands of years and are the true Loen orthodoxy!

However, at this moment, Joe on the side, who is now the most respected wizard in the Luen family, sighed:

"What Mr. Harris said is correct."

'Uncle Joe? ! ’ Jennifer looked at Joe in disbelief.

However, not only Qiao, but also the other first-level wizards of the Luen family remained silent and just clenched their fists.

From the moment Wizard Erwin passed away and the Loen family no longer had a second-level wizard, they had expected this day to come, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

But what can be done? If you don't give in, Harris alone can solve them all.

No one will care about this. For the Supreme Council or the city of Neustadt, all they need is the existence of the Loen Kingdom to provide them with stable food. As for who is the king, what difference does it make?

Moreover, most of the farmland in Loen Kingdom has been polluted, and the wizards sent by the Supreme Council to investigate and study here a few days ago have also left.

There is probably no hope of saving those farmlands.

In this case, no one would care about the changes in the power of the Loen Kingdom.

Jennifer seemed to understand something, the anger in her eyes suddenly extinguished, she just pursed her lips tightly and clenched her fists.

"Your Excellency Qiao is indeed a smart man." Harris nodded with satisfaction, "It would be best if we could resolve this matter peacefully. The new King of Tilayme will arrive in the near future. When the time comes, let the Lord not Hi, that would be bad."

"Of course, I am not the one who wants to kill everyone. If the Loen family is willing, they can still enjoy the power and status of the Duke family in the Loen Kingdom."

"Thank you, Mr. Harris, for your kindness, but we should leave the Tiramei Plain and seek other development in distant places." Qiao said without being humble or overbearing.

Even though they are so harmonious now, as if what is happening in front of them is just a trivial matter, as long as there is an opportunity to eradicate the root cause, Harris will not let it go.

This is a life-and-death power struggle, but Harris needs face now, while the Run family needs a chance to breathe and hope of escape, so they maintain such a fragile balance.

"That's fine. I wish the Luen family all the best in the future. If you encounter difficulties, the Kingdom of Sidney welcomes you back at any time."

Harris narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

That's it for now. After taking control of the Loen Kingdom, he will have plenty of time to deal with the remnants of the Loen family.

After the Loen family has been dealt with and power has been consolidated, the next step is to recreate the grand occasion when the Loen Kingdom commanded the entire Ti Laimei Plain.

Those kingdoms that declared independence due to the gradual decline of the Roen family will surrender sooner or later, but this time... they surrender to him, to the Sidney family!

It's just the new King of Tiramei... Harris has a headache. He couldn't get any information about the new King of Tiramei.

But let’s talk about it then. Anyway, no matter who is the king of Ti Laimei, he will need someone to manage the Loen Kingdom.

'The Kingdom of Sidney...'

On the other side, Qiao lowered his head slightly, with a trace of unconcealable anger flashing in his eyes, but when he raised his head, it had been replaced by a smile.

He saluted Harris and left quickly with the members of the Loen family.

The solemn funeral ended dramatically.

On the trails of the kingdom, Joe took the lead in walking, but soon he switched to flying.

"Jennifer, come with me to the White Tower. The rest of the family should seize the time to gather important clan members. We must leave the Loen Kingdom immediately!" His deep voice sounded in the minds of every member of the Loen family.

Jennifer bit her lip and followed Qiao's figure, feeling a sense of panic in her heart.

This feeling of clenching her heart reminded her inexplicably of the scene when she sat in the carriage and witnessed Uncle Duncan's death.

Taking a few deep breaths, Jennifer tried to calm down.

"It's okay, Jennifer. You are already a first-level wizard. Everyone says that you will be as powerful as great-grandfather Erwin in the future. When that time comes, you can bring everyone back here!"

However, when Joe came to the Irvine White Tower, he saw a wizard standing at the door of the White Tower from a distance.

This scene made his face darken on the spot, he cursed Harris secretly, and Joe subconsciously prepared to turn around and leave.

Although there are many precious things in the White Tower, the most critical resources such as meditation methods are in the secret room of the palace. Time is precious now, so we can only abandon the White Tower.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Qiao, that seems to be Mr. Colin!" Jennifer suddenly said.

"Colin? That powerful resident wizard?" Qiao just turned around, but saw Colin already appearing in front of him.

"Good afternoon, Jennifer." Colin greeted Jennifer, and then slightly greeted Qiao, "Did something happen to the Luen family recently? Why is there no one in the White Tower?"

He had just arrived in the Loen Kingdom from Neustadt.

The apparent center of the Loen Kingdom is the royal palace, but the real center is the white tower.

So as soon as he returned to Golden Wheat Sui, he came here, preparing to take the first step to understand his territory.

"Your Excellency Colin..." For some reason, when Jennifer saw Colin, she couldn't hold back the accumulated emotions in her heart, and tears fell in large drops.

"What happened?" Colin's face gradually became serious, and he asked in a deep voice, while showing the ring of Tiramei on his left index finger.

Not long after.

Colin touched his chin after hearing the whole incident, but smiled inexplicably in his heart.

The Duke named Harris did him a small favor.

…

Harris never thought that his grand conspiracy would be shattered in this way. He only felt that the world was so absurd.

Jennifer also had similar feelings to him. The girl only felt that from the moment she and Qiao met Colin in front of the white tower, everything seemed to have happened in a dream.

The Sidney family publicly apologized and paid huge compensation to the Roon family. The same was true for the families who stood behind Harris at that time. Under the just ruling of Lord Colin - either pay huge compensation or die. , all chose compensation.

In return, the Luen family finally donated all the compensation to Colin.

Of course, there is another thing that Jennifer finds most incredible - she actually became the queen of the Loen Kingdom!
