Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1712: The Hunt for the Shadow (8)
Chapter 1712 The Hunt for the Shadow Eight
Meanwhile, in southern Europe, the Gric lands, Athens.
A ray of light flashed across the night, arousing the vigilance of the Leopard guards. Soon, however, Albert, who was driving the iron cavalry, waved to the leopards in mid-air, and let the iron cavalry land on the outskirts of the city.
I am a member of the hunter group. When the tiger jumped off the cavalry, he said to the guards: I am here to attend my friend's funeral.
Understood, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Albert. The leopard guards may have been informed long ago, and in anticipation of Albert's coming, they made way into the city: the coffin containing the body of the dead hunter was placed in the backyard of the city hall , you can rest in the guest room on the east side of the city hall, and the funeral will start early tomorrow morning.
Okay, Albert turned around and shook the sleeping cat boy Mutter, who was lying on the back of the cavalry: Wake up, little slacker. We have arrived.
Huh? Mutter opened his eyes slightly, trying to understand the situation around him.
Who is this kid? the panther guard asked.
Families of the deceased. Albert made up a lie casually: I brought him here by the way.
The leopard guards then took a serious look at the cat boy who was climbing down from the iron cavalry. They saw that Mutter was just a frail child, and he was indeed a cat person, who might actually look a bit like the deceased, so they immediately believed Albert's words.
Okay. He spends the night with you in the guest room at City Hall. You have to hurry up tomorrow, you should rest early tonight.
What's wrong with this thing? Albert pointed to the black cavalry behind him.
Not much. It can only be parked outside the city. The guard said that for safety reasons, all heavy vehicles could not enter the city.
Are you kidding me meow? Albert looked angry: I borrowed this iron cavalry, and it is very expensive! Parked outside the city? What if it was stolen? You guys will accompany me with ten million British gold coins, meow?
But
I don't care what you say! Tiger began to play a big game: I am the hunter of Warcraft Albert, the top ten hunters in the hunter organization! I will park this iron cavalry in my resting place. If you have any opinions, you can complain to the hunter organization!
Albert then pushed the cavalry directly into the city. The group of leopard guards wanted to stop them, but the tiger gave them a stern look and dared not say anything. In addition, the black iron cavalry is indeed not equipped with any weapons. It is now just a vehicle. After checking it up and down, the guards had to let it go.
Is the top ten ranking real? The cat boy asked after walking some distance behind the tiger.
It should be said that it once ranked in the top ten. Albert grinned sneeringly, the ranking of the World of Warcraft Hunter Organization was calculated based on the hunters completed each year. In order to participate in the round table trial, I haven't hunted monsters for a long time, and it is estimated that the current ranking has dropped below 30.
Oh. Mutter responded perfunctorily, but his eyes had already moved away, looking at the surrounding scenery with curiosity.
Mutter, a cat boy who has never left Africa since he was a child, came to Athens for the first time. The scenery here is extremely unfamiliar to him.
The Leopards are said to be excellent architects and craftsmen, best at building houses out of wood. Therefore, the scenery of Athens is simply peculiar, and the small and large houses around it are all built of wood, with few stone or concrete buildings. From the humblest bungalows to the ten-story high-rise buildings, all wooden buildings are unique.
The main building material of these buildings is the special red iron wood produced near the Gelik territory in the Dawning region. It has extremely strong toughness and ductility, which is far beyond the comparison of stone building materials such as concrete.
Wonderful wooden bricks are mortised and tenoned against each other, interacting with huge wooden pillars, acting as load-bearing and shock-resistant, so they are more durable than they appear, in the occasional storms along the Mediterranean coast It can also stabilize itself very well, and it will never collapse easily even if it is swayed by the wind.
These square and slightly simple wooden buildings are stacked in countless, well-proportioned and well-arranged buildings in the city of Athens. At first glance, the whole city is very neat and comfortable, with a clean and neat feeling.
A lot has changed here, too. Albert had been to Athens seven years ago, and he has rarely come since. At that time, the city of Athens was almost completely destroyed by the attack of the monster army. Now the city has been rebuilt, and its appearance is very different from the original Athens. Seeing this now, Tiger couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
And the buildings of the leopard people have been strengthened a lot. These square buildings have a very stable mechanical structure and will not easily collapse even under the attack of the monsters. The outer edge of the city, which was also reinforced with red iron wood, was a fence with countless sharp spikes, and it was not easy for monsters to attack.
All of these fortified buildings and protective measures are designed to prevent the hordes of monsters that begin to infest each early spring.
Albert? Tiger was still on the road when he suddenly encountered Bagus, the deputy chief of the Leopard people who was patrolling the city. The deputy patriarch immediately came up and said: Oh, isn't this my nephew Albert? How did you come?
Please don't call me nephew. The tiger immediately elongated his face. However, this is a fact, although Albert is reluctant to admit it, Diana, the snow leopard girl he once liked, has married Albert's father, the Roble Patriarch of the Tiger People. And Bagus is Diana's brother and Albert's uncle
Hahahaha, are you still arguing about Diana? Anyway, Baggs looked at the cat boy: who is this?
Friends. Albert explained casually, I came to attend the funeral of a monster hunter, this is the family of the deceased hunter, and I brought him here by the way.
Oh, yes. I am sorry. When it comes to the funeral, Bagus' expression seems to be serious, then you guys are busy, I have to continue patrolling the city to strengthen the defense in the city, we will see you later.
Then he and Albert said two polite words and left.
Nephew? Mutter hummed at this time.
Never mind what the guy says. Albert didn't want to explain at all, just prevaricates it: let's go, the city hall is not far from here.
There's a question I've wanted to ask a long time ago. Mutter followed the tiger and asked again: Since your friend Luff's hometown is in Melson Rock, why not just send his body back to Melson Rock, but to the Leopard Man's Come from the territory, and then hold a funeral ceremony?
Because they didn't plan to send the complete body back to the Myerson Stone at all, but burned the body and the coffin with the finest red iron wood branches from Athens, and finally sent the ashes back to the hunters. buried in his hometown. Tiger shrugged: In the World of Warcraft hunter organization, this is the standard treatment for a hunter who died in the line of duty, and the purpose seems to be to make every hunter who died in the line receive the utmost respect. However, the process of sending the body back for burial is very long and there are many ceremonies. If the body is not incinerated into ashes sooner, the body will start to stink in the middle of the ceremony.
Is that so, Mutter had no more questions to ask, and fell silent.
The City Hall is a large, cylindrical building, and needless to say, it is also made of wood. There are a hundred huge wooden pillars and beams around the city hall, making the structure of the city hall as stable as a rock. By comparison, the several small buildings surrounding City Hall look much slender.
Albert, of course, did not make his way to the main entrance of City Hall right away. On the contrary, the tiger pushed the black iron horse and entered the side of the city hall, intending to bypass the city hall and enter the lounge in a low-key manner.
You want to see Luffy's body meow? Albert suddenly asked: They will probably incinerate the remains in the early morning of tomorrow, and then start the funeral. Now may be the last chance to look at the remains of the dead.
Yes. When we find a place to stay, let's go right away. Mutter agreed.
Although Luffy may look very similar to Mutter, the Cat-Man boy has little interest in Luffy's remains. He and Luffy were completely different people, and he didn't feel much connection to the cat man. The reason why Mutter followed Albert was entirely because he wanted to go to Melson Stone, the hometown of the cat people, to see what the Melson Stone was like. Other than that, he didn't have any other ideas.
The backyard was quiet, and a staff member was waiting for Albert and the others. As soon as the tiger and the cat boy appeared, they immediately handed over the keys to Albert.
The ceremonial attire used in the funeral is also prepared in the room. The two of you will bathe and change into the ceremonial attire tomorrow morning, and then you can go out with the funeral procession. The staff of the Leopard Clan said.
Albert just parked the cavalry next to the lounge, and before he opened the door, he asked casually: Where is the hunter's body stored? The family of the deceased here wants to see the last of the deceased.
In the cellar of the city hall. The staff member said that walking along this path, the iron gate is the way to enter the cellar.
The staff member left immediately after the explanation ~IndoMTL.com~ did not seem to have any intention of staying in such a place for a long time.
The tiger meow opened the door and entered the lounge, took off his coat, and picked up the two sets of ceremonial dresses in the lounge: take a shower, we'll go right away.
Why take a shower? Why take this? Mutter was puzzled.
Tiger took the door and said in a low voice: Have you forgotten? Because we have to stole Luffy's body and coffin together before the leopards start the funeral, and take Luffy back to Melson Stone for burial. Nonetheless, the etiquette that should be observed must be observed, which is the most basic respect for the deceased. So take a shower first, and put your ceremonial clothes in the cavalry. When the night fell and the defenses were slack, we began to act.
Mutter gave Albert a slightly horrified look: Okay but I have to say, your idea is crazy.
I would never have watched the leopards burn Luffy's body to ashes. Albert hummed lowly and backed away the wooden door on one side of the room, which seemed to be the bathroom. The big wooden barrel that just fits two people seems to be a bathtub.
No hot water? Just enough water for one person to take a bath? Mutra got a long face: You must be kidding me!
