Chapter 408: Chapter 388: New Rune Power!
Byrne’s funeral was not held in isolation but was buried along with the rest of the city’s dead.
In the ancient town gently embraced by the dawn, an unprecedentedly grand funeral slowly began, marking not only a farewell to the glorious years of the deceased but also a profound display of the Nasir citizens’ unity.
The sky seemed to mourn too, with low-hanging clouds and a fine drizzle, draping a misty and sorrowful veil over the solemn moment.
The streets were already lined with crowds who had come to bid farewell, dressed in dark clothes, holding fresh flowers or wearing black veils to symbolize mourning, their faces full of reluctance, tears streaming down continuously.
The starting point of the funeral was set at the recently restored Central Square of Nasir City, which had been carefully adorned into a white sea, with thousands upon thousands of immaculate flowers circling the central altar, where numerous portraits of the deceased were displayed.
Melancholic and mournful music echoed all around, each note carrying endless longing.
Darren, dressed in pure black, inhaled deeply with a serious expression.
“The time has come.”
As the solemn bell tolled, a procession led by black hearses slowly advanced, the hearses decorated with black veils and white flowers, escorted by ceremonial guards in uniform holding spears, performing the highest honors. Along the way, people spontaneously stopped, bowed their heads in tearful silence, some even knelt down, breaking down in tears.
The Nasir citizens expressed their mourning in the simplest and most sincere way.
Just as the procession reached the cemetery, Darren looked up to see the sky suddenly clear, a ray of sunlight piercing through the clouds, gently shining upon the numerous tombstones, as if the great divine bestowed one last blessing upon the deceased.
“The vast Tempest Overlord will use His mighty power to protect you all…”
Amidst Zayne’s deep and forceful prayers, the people of Nasir City came forward one by one, gently placing their fresh flowers beside the tombstones, each flower carrying with it a memory.
Finally, with the roaring of the salute and the circling of doves, the grand funeral slowly drew to a close.
Darren looked up at the sky for a long time before lowering his head, a faint smile appearing on his face.
“Father, you watch over it.”
“The Fischer family’s reckoning with our enemies has not officially begun!”
——
“Are you saying they actually won?”
The entire Tempest Church was shocked beyond belief; deep down, they couldn’t comprehend how the Fischers and the Romann family, two Extraordinary noble families, could have defeated the mighty Stars Embrace Order and the Words of Tranquility.
Those two ancient and secretive orders had been a headache for the Church of the True Gods for so many years.
It wasn’t just the Tempest Church; soon enough, the Salvation Church and all other Churches of the True Gods heard of the Fischer family’s great name.
In under a month, the entire Ouden Continent knew of the matter; everyone remembered the name of a new family.
The Fischers of Cyart!
Within the palace of the Seven Stars Empire.
“The Fischers? I have heard about the Romann family, Duke Black Iron is quite a character… As for the Fischers?”
The God of War Emperor of the Seven Stars Empire, tall and straight, with white hair as breathtaking as a piece of art, full of life and brightness, calmly pronounced the name “Fisherman” from his throne, his gaze flickering, as if recalling some prophecy.
“Two families from a minor Eastern country managed to deal with the Stars Embrace Order and the Words of Tranquility, shocking the entire Ouden Continent… It’s simply unimaginable.”
“Prince Conrad of Carnia is dead, heh, his brother will definitely fly into a rage, a new war is about to erupt within the Eastern Four Kingdoms.”
“Soon, the Lorne Council will learn of Cyart’s situation, they will likely increase their investment in those ‘chess pieces.'”
He slowly shook his head, continuing, “Hmm, deliver my letter to the king of Carnia…”
“And one of my gifts, enough to destroy the Fischer family, a gift to aid him in completing his revenge.”
——
Not long after the funeral ended, the Fischer family began the long-awaited sacrifice ritual.
The sacrifice was led by Archer, who had no experience in this area.
Lacking experience, he put in several times the effort, practicing the sacrificial ceremony privately who knows how many times, and managing the whole process very well.
Thus, almost all of the numerous precious Forbidden rare artifacts that the Fischer family had obtained over the past ten years were sacrificed to the great Lord of the Lost.
Karl fully experienced what a “feast” was.
It was like suddenly arriving at a buffet, seeing colorful and fragrant dishes of all sorts, carefully arranged on the buffet display, inviting him, the sole guest, to explore.
