Chapter 364: Funeral (1)

Translator: Leo Editor: Nou

Angele stayed in the mansion for a while and checked the situation of the matrices. The crystal card could still support them for about half a year, so they did not need to be replaced yet. He gave some more food to Freia and returned to the main world.

Morrian, Seth, and Milan left the ruin after resting for several days. They left Vivian's gifts to Angele before leaving.

Angele put the gifts into his travel case and left the ruin, heading directly to the Mermaid's Song.

The distance from the ruin to the Mermaid's Song was short, so it only took him about ten days on the road.

The city was a mess. Many people were crying on the streets.

Three funerals were being held in the city and the atmosphere was heavy.

Walking down the main street, Angele saw people carrying white and black coffins around.

He turned left and entered a narrow street. Most of the pedestrians on the street were women and children, with barely any young men in sight.

Angele was wearing a long black robe. He walked down the brown-paved street and headed towards the direction stated in the message from the communication rune.

Reaching the end of the street, a large grassland-covered with white tombstones-appeared in his sight.

The orange light from the setting sun illuminated the tombstones, giving the place a peaceful and quiet feel.

There were people gathering at the graveyard and some were lowering the coffins into the graves carefully. There were also wizards reading eulogies and paying tribute to the dead.

Angele walked to a group of people that was standing by the forest.

Most of them were wearing black outfits, and they all had serious expressions on their faces.

There were about 30 people there, and they were all holding white flowers in their hands. A small band was playing some sad, mournful music with their violins and harps.

People were still coming to the graveyard despite the dim sunlight.

A wizard was preparing for a eulogy with a black book in hand.

As Angele walked toward the group, the wizards noticed his presence and started greeting him.

"Master Angele."

"Master Angele, you're here."

Angele nodded as he walked, heading straight to the coffin.

The coffin was open and the former department head, Cruise, was lying inside. His body was covered with black flower petals and black silk. Cruise was donned in a black suit, with an eye-shaped ruby lying on his chest.

Dozens of white flowers surrounded the coffin.

As Angele stood in front of the coffin, he could hear Cruise's relatives crying.

He bowed slightly and took out a plain black box from his sleeves. Crouching down, he carefully placed the box to the right of Cruise's body.

He then stood up and walked to Cruise's family.

To the right were a five-year-old boy and two girls. They all had blond hair and pretty faces.

Angele patted one of the girl's head lightly. She was about 17 or 18 years old.

"Julie, let me know if you need any help. Don't worry, I'm your father's good friend, and I respect him a lot," Angele spoke in a light tone.

"Thank you..." Julie was the oldest child of the three. Her eyes turned red, and she was trying not to cry again. "Thank you, master Angele."
