In the long and narrow queue, Ma Wei and Lai Wen walked in front. At this moment, he had changed into a priest's robe and held the "Book of Truth" on his chest. In front of them were the coffins of Baron Wallas and Bishop Hans. , carried by several serfs and priests of the Honest Church, walked slowly towards the cemetery.
"Communication."
"What's wrong boss?"
"After the funeral, as hosts, Mrs. Scheffner and Baron Staley will entertain guests from afar. When the time comes, you will be like this..."
"Uh-huh..."
Lai Wen nodded while listening to the plan, and then asked: "Is this possible?"
"Whether it works or not depends on your acting skills. Be careful, Baron Staley might be able to do magic."
Mavey's gaze always stayed on Baron Staley's fat finger. There were traces of wearing a ring there. Before coming to the manor, Baron Staley must have taken off the ring and put it away.
If it were an ordinary ring, there was obviously no need for Baron Staley to hide it, but for Mavey, who was very sensitive to magic rings, these small details could just arouse his vigilance.
In the living room before, Mavey concluded that Baron Staley was a member of the Free Association, so he specifically asked for the real pocket watch, but the answer given by the pocket watch was wrong.
Not only that, Baron Staley has nothing to do with the forces that awakened Edward, killed Jinna, and Baron Wallas.
This is simply impossible.
Marvey believes that there are only two reasons why the real pocket watch determines that Baron Staley is neither a member of the Free Association nor a force behind the scenes:
1. Baron Staley used some special means to confuse the judgment of the real pocket watch.
2. The Baron Staley who appeared in front of them... was not Baron Staley himself, but someone else pretending to be him.
Since the Black Madonna did not move due to the appearance of Baron Staley, the former is more likely, unless...
The abnormal movements of the Black Madonna statue can be actively controlled by the forces behind the scenes. If they want the Black Madonna statue to move, it will cause abnormal movements. If they want the Black Madonna statue to calm down, they will calm down. This will make Ma Wei and others realize that the Black Madonna statue is related to the forces behind the scenes. See The third change that seemed accidental was also done deliberately by them.
Under the premise that real pocket watches may be confused, the conclusions given by pocket watches are not credible. If you want to know the truth of the matter, you must either investigate and speculate by yourself, or...
Call the name of the God of Truth, Budge, and go to her kingdom, where you should not be affected.
But then again, how could Mavi ask the God of Truth, Budge, about these things?
The God of Truth, Buggy, is not necessarily a good thing. She is no less dangerous than the Free Association and the forces behind the scenes.
Surrounded by tigers and wolves, no one can be trusted except his own people.
Kacha...Kacha...
After climbing over the hillside, the funeral procession arrived at the cemetery behind the manor. This is the cemetery dedicated to the Baron Wallas family. Generations of ancestors have been buried here. It is cleaned regularly and well maintained. It is cleaner and more spacious than ordinary suburban cemeteries.
As a believer of the Honesty Church, Baron Wallas should originally be buried in the church cemetery. However, due to the dissolution of the Honesty Church and the fact that the graves of his ancestors are located behind the manor, Mrs. Scheffner decided to bury him in the family cemetery. .
As for the coffin of Bishop Hans, it has been sent to the Honesty Church.
A snow squirrel jumped onto the pine tree, holding a red berry in its arms, and stared motionless at the crowd standing in front of the grave below.
"Today, a god lost her most devout believer, and a wife lost her kind and kind husband..."
Ma Wei held the open "Book of Truth" and recited prayers loudly. Relatives stood on both sides of the grave pit, wearing black clothes. Women wore black gauze skirts and black tulle heads. Sobs came and went, especially It was Shevna, whose painful cries added a touch of sadness to the cold and lonely winter.
"May the soul of the deceased rest in peace, may he live a prosperous life in the Kingdom of God, may the God he believes in give generous gifts, may all pain be far away, and may joy and happiness surround him..."
People attending the funeral placed white bouquets on the coffin and walked around the grave, expressing their remembrance of the deceased one after another.
After solemnly reciting the prayer, Ma Wei took out his pocket watch and took a look: "5:15 pm, Mrs. Shevna, remember this time."
"Um..."
"Fill in the soil."
The serfs belonging to the Baron Wallas family wielded shovels and sprinkled clouds of soil into the grave pit to cover the coffin. At the same time, the tombstones that the masons rushed to make were erected.
The funeral was over, and the relatives turned around and left, preparing to return to the manor to take care of dinner.
"It's another funeral..."
Ma Wei stood in front of the tombstone and did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at the name and date of birth and death of Baron Wallas on the tombstone and fell into a long silence.
In the three years since he established the Truth Church, he has sent away so many people that he can’t even count them. Some nights, he would dream that he was lying in the cemetery, with the sky gray and raindrops falling. It was cold rain and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
"Teacher, what are you thinking about?" Daniel asked.
“I was thinking about the meaning of life, but it was pessimistic nihilism.”
Ma Wei looked at the tombstone, put his palm on his chest, and after silently mourning, he patted Daniel on the shoulder, took Yunia's little hand and said, "Let's go. Those who stop moving forward will be abandoned by the times. We are still There’s a lot to do.”
After Ma Wei walked away, Daniel, with a white flower on his chest, looked at the tombstone and seemed to be talking to himself. He seemed to be asking about the dead Baron Wallas and said softly: "The era of the nobility has really passed. Yet?"
"Yes." A voice came from behind the tombstone.
"...."
Daniel walked behind the tombstone, looked at Fat Orange squatting there and licking his paws, and said, "What are you doing? Eavesdropping?"
"You were talking where I was licking my paws, how did it turn out that I was eavesdropping?" Fat Orange took an elegant cat walk, with his tail raised high, and walked towards the manor without looking back: "Hurry up, follow me, here is In Siberia, there are black bears in winter.”
Daniel looked back at the empty coniferous forest and trotted: "Don't black bears hibernate?"
"There will always be hungry ones out looking for food, and a cat saw one last time."
"Will you protect me?"
"Who knows."
....................................................
At night, the manor was brightly lit, and in the restaurant, people dressed in black ate in silence. There was no laughter at all, only the sound of knives and forks touching porcelain plates.
"Madam, I am a serf merchant from Tefriz. Are you willing to sell your serfs?"
"Madam, I am the manager of the Lvivka wood processing factory. There is a forest on your territory. We are willing to purchase it at a very suitable price..."
Shevna was surrounded by businessmen. They were all talking about how to divide the property of the Baron Wallas family. Shefna was absent-minded and had no intention of paying attention to them.
On the other side, people were toasting to Baron Staley one after another. Everyone knew that from today on, the property of the Baron Wallas family will become the property of Baron Staley. As long as the death of Baron Wallas is reported to Senate, then Baron Staley will have one more title of nobility.
However, this was a funeral, so there were no congratulations from everyone, but a tacit celebration. On the surface, they still looked sad, trying to comfort Baron Staley not to be too sad.
Compared to Shefna and Baron Staley, Mavey seems a little deserted around him. Not many people are looking for him. After all, he can't provide benefits to merchants or nobles. If you can't provide value, others will ignore you. This is Reality.
The butler who was standing behind the dining table to serve the guests had an ugly expression on his face, glaring at these ill-intentioned guests. He hoped that Mrs. Shevna would drive all these people out, but this was impossible.
"I'm leaving for a while..."
Baron Staley, who had drunk too much wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, put down his glass, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Seeing Baron Staley leave the table, Ma Wei winked at Lai Wen. Lai Wen understood it and picked up Fat Orange, pretending that the spoon fell to the ground, and while bending down to pick it up...
Activate the Siren's Tears to turn Fat Orange into his own appearance, and he...
Then it disappeared instantly with a slight snap of fingers.
"cough...."
Ma Wei put down his knife and fork, pulled Yunia to stand up, and left the restaurant quietly.
"Teacher, what are they doing?" Daniel, who was cutting steak, asked curiously.
"Get down to business."
bathroom.
Wow...
Amidst the sound of water flowing, Baron Staley picked up a puddle of water and splashed it on his face, smelling of alcohol all over his body.
After washing his face, he took off the towel hanging next to him and wiped away the water droplets. He raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror to see if there was anything rude about his appearance and hairstyle. Just as he was staring at himself in the mirror. ...
In the mirror, behind him, an illusory cheek slowly rose.
Baron Staley's penis suddenly shrank and he cried out:
"Jayne?!"
