Sure enough, Pope Paul XVI did not come, but Archbishop Maximos was sent. This archbishop is now recognized as the successor of the Pope. His status and weight are sufficient. Moreover, he is an old acquaintance of Du Wei.

, regarded as one of the private allies.

The funeral of Prince Chen was very grand. For this funeral, the royal family specially opened a route from the palace to the outside of the city. The royal family spent a huge sum of money and used more than 100,000 black roses to scatter along this passage.

superior.

On the day of the funeral, three thousand Royal Guardsmen were all dressed in black armor and black cloaks. Even their helmets were decorated with black feathers. They lined up neatly to clear the way. Behind the queue, a dozen strong men with good military levels were carrying a heavy special sarcophagus.

, followed by members of the royal family.

The little emperor Charlie followed behind, wearing a black robe, holding a scepter in his hand, with a solemn expression, followed by the queen, princess, princess and so on.

As a first-class minister of the empire, Du Wei walked at the front of the queue of ministers, followed closely by the ministers of the empire, ministers of various ministries, military generals, etc. In order to express condolences, the people in the queue

No one was riding a horse, everyone was on foot.

There was no mourning or music, but the petals of black roses scattered along the way were flying, adding a bit of a heavy atmosphere of mourning. The queue was silent, no one was making any noise, only the queen and others were crying quietly in the queue.

At the end of the procession were the family members of various aristocratic families, the ladies, aristocratic children, aristocratic girls, etc. Those with titles walked in front, and those without titles walked in the back.

In addition, on both sides of the queue, there were eight Grand Priests sent from the temple. As they walked along the way, they solemnly recited hymns from the scriptures. At the end of the queue, there were several magicians sent by the Magic Guild to act as representatives.

As for the Knights Association, which is nominally one of the three major organizations in the mainland, although it has regained some strength recently, it is still inferior to the Magic Guild and the Temple. In terms of status, it can only be at the end of the queue, far behind.

At the end. The president of the Knights Association, Knight Delon, is wearing silver armor, and the long sword in his hand is wrapped with black veil. Behind him are the members of the "Sword of Roland" knights composed of the winners of the last tournament.

Follow behind.

This huge queue started from the palace in the morning. Because they walked slowly, they walked for two hours before finally reaching the door.

When a dozen strong men carried the sarcophagus to the city gate, the thorn flower flag above the city gate was slowly lowered by half as a sign of mourning. All the defenders on the city wall knelt down and bowed their heads.

Head salute.

At this time, there was already a sound of crying all around.

On the day of the funeral, hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital came to deliver a message to the young king of the empire. From the Imperial City Square in front of the palace to the city gate, the road was almost full of people kneeling on their knees.

people.

The people of Roland Continent seem to be very loyal to the royal family, especially the people of the imperial capital. Moreover, Prince Chen is a wise king and is quite popular. At his funeral, more than half of the residents in the imperial capital spontaneously came forward.

The number of people who came to bid farewell to the Prince Regent was many times greater than at the funeral of the old emperor Augustine VI.

All the way outside the city, the funeral ceremony came to an end. Then the sarcophagus was loaded into a special carriage, and the imperial guards also got on their horses. The ministers and nobles who saw him off also got on their carriages.

The funeral procession will leave the Imperial Capital directly and head to a place more than ten miles away from the Imperial Capital City:

Imperial mausoleum!

According to the customs of Roland Continent, even when an emperor dies, the funeral is solemn, but the cemetery is not too luxurious. This is very different from the ancient Chinese emperors in the world where Du Wei lived in his previous life.

When the emperor dies, he is always buried in the traditional imperial mausoleum of the Roland Empire royal family. This mausoleum is far away from the imperial capital, covers a vast area, and is surrounded by mountains and rivers. All emperors of the empire are buried in this place. Moreover, people in this world,

There is no habit of using many luxurious burial objects, so no one in future generations will rob tombs.

Outside the imperial mausoleum, a battalion of troops is stationed and guarded all year round.

The weather was very good and the roads were smooth. In the afternoon, the funeral procession arrived at the Imperial Tomb District in the southern suburbs of the imperial capital.

Dozens of emperors from the founding of the Roland Empire to the present are buried here, as well as all direct members of the royal family. Even the eldest prince Yawen, who was defeated and died in a coup a few years ago, is buried here.

Moreover, in order to protect this place, Du Wei heard that there are palace magicians from the royal family who guard this place all year round to prevent these emperors from being disturbed after their death.

When the funeral procession arrived in the afternoon, the burial ceremony began.

Seeing the sarcophagus containing the body of Prince Chen being slowly put into the tomb, Du Wei, who was standing at the front of the crowd, couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He glanced at the royal family members and saw that the queen was already crying so hard that she couldn't even stand

Both the little princesses Karina and Louise were in tears.

Although the little emperor Charlie looked sad, Du Wei noticed that the corners of his eyes were very clean.

Although the nobles from various families mourning the funeral also made mournful sounds, not many people actually cried.

What surprised Du Wei a little was that even Prince Chen's direct descendant, Minister of Military Affairs Camisillo, did not shed tears. But the fat man, the Delan Mountain Warcraft, who had never been looked down upon by others and was full of copper odor, cried.

It was like a tearful person.

The burial ceremony began. First, the young emperor Charles read a condolence speech in public. Du Wei knew as soon as he heard it that it was something written in advance. Then, Archbishop Maximos, who presided over the funeral, began to speak with a passage from the canon.

Words to preach...

"...When he was born, he was bathed in the glory of God. God gave him everything, glory, pride, courage, loyalty, responsibility..."

After all, Archbishop Maximus was old and his voice was a little hoarse. Amidst the mournful crying around him, his voice was not very clear. Du Wei just listened silently, looking at the coffin in the tomb...

During the speech of Archbishop Maximus, the little emperor walked up, picked up the shovel, covered the first shovel with soil, and then handed the shovel to the people around him.

A dozen strong men began to scatter soil into the tomb.

At this time, the crying became louder, and Archbishop Maximus could only raise his voice and continue to read his prayer: "...all the virtues prescribed by God are reflected in him. Kindness, intelligence,

kindness……"

But at this moment, Du Wei suddenly felt something in his heart, and a strange feeling surged out from deep in his heart like a tide!!!

His current strength can be said to be almost at the level of a demigod!

Although it is a non-rechargeable battery, before the battery is exhausted, his strength can be said to be the top in the mainland! His powerful spiritual sense makes him extremely sensitive to all changes around him!

Sure enough, as if to confirm his perception, he suddenly heard a faint roar of thunder from the horizon!

Looking up, I saw the originally cloudless and clear sky. In an instant, dark clouds appeared on the horizon!

Then, the sky seemed to get a little darker!

That muffled thunder was definitely not a natural phenomenon! Du Wei felt something vaguely in his heart, as if his heartbeat had accelerated a bit!

Then, suddenly, the sun hanging high in the sky suddenly seemed to flash! The originally strong sunlight suddenly dimmed!

I saw a faint shadow at the edge of the sun, slowly swallowing up the edge of the sun disk, eating away the sunlight bit by bit!!

Although the shadow spread slowly, it became bigger and bigger. In a few moments, half of the sun was occupied by the shadow!

Du Wei's heart was beating wildly and his breath was a little unsteady!

Sun, sun, total solar eclipse??!!!

boom!!

There seemed to be some sensation in my mind, and it suddenly exploded!!

Du Wei felt as if he could faintly feel a powerful force in his heart, coming from the sky! It felt like a bucket of cold water suddenly poured down from his head, and he seemed to feel that his soul was trembling!!

Amidst the exclamations around, the sun has been almost completely blocked! The sky and the earth suddenly fell into darkness, as if they were plunged into night!

This sudden and strange sight caused the mournful and weeping voices around to stop. Even Archbishop Maximos, who was standing above and praying, couldn't help but stop his voice and looked up at the sky in surprise!

At this moment, the sun has been completely blocked...

Du Wei felt his mouth was dry and his heart was so excited that he finally couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "It's a total solar eclipse! Total solar eclipse!!!"

At this time, suddenly, he felt that in the distance, in the northwest direction, there was a sudden wave of powerful energy. It was as if an extremely powerful man was exuding all his momentum!

Du Wei felt something in his heart, and he looked around. With his current strength, his eyes could easily see distant movements clearly even without using the magic of Eagle Eye. What's more, with his spiritual thoughts, he could see at a glance.

He traveled dozens of miles in an instant!

Sure enough, Du Wei clearly saw a figure on the horizon. The figure exuded a fierce and ferocious momentum. Above the sky, piercing the clouds and wind, with a burst of arrogance, it flew quickly towards the direction of the imperial capital.

!!

The muffled thundering sounds in the sky were all caused by this man flying!

Du Wei screamed in his heart: It's a total solar eclipse! That old Chris guy is out!!!

At this moment, the surroundings were already in chaos. This sudden and strange sight was somewhat frightening and unknown and mysterious.

Du Wei took advantage of the chaos and retreated from the crowd, staring into the distance...

Chris's figure suddenly emitted an astonishing golden light in the distant sky, and the figure also transformed into the shape of a giant dragon in the golden light! Chris is now possessed by the body of a golden dragon, but at this moment it is

Completely showing his form!

In the distance in the sky, a loud roar came from the dragon! The golden dragon roared with all its strength, and the sound wave was sent hundreds of miles away almost instantly! I am afraid that even people in the imperial capital can hear the sound clearly.

!The people here in the Imperial Tomb were also startled by the majestic and awe-inspiring dragon roar, and the crowd immediately became chaotic.

But Du Wei understood that this was Old Chris's whistle on purpose, but it was actually calling him!!

Looking at the total solar eclipse in the sky... Du Wei understands!

The time has come!! Old Chris has been waiting to find the treasure left by the devil. The time has come to open it!!

Unable to hesitate, Du Wei immediately gritted his teeth and quickly retreated far away, then jumped into the air, turned into a ray of light, and sped away in the direction of Chris!!

"Duwei!!"

Below, although the crowd was chaotic, among the funeral procession and the family members of the Tulip family, there were naturally Qiaoqiao and Vivian. They had been paying attention to Du Wei. Seeing Du Wei leave, Qiaoqiao and Vivian looked at each other.

He glanced at it, why did he care so much? He cast his magic without hesitation, flew up, and chased Du Wei far away in the direction where he left!

The sky was still dark. After the total solar eclipse, it seemed to have froze. The sun was still tightly blocked, and the shadow showed no sign of fading away...
