Chapter 10 Funeral Journey
The funeral was set up in the sea of white kites at the foot of the mountain. In the solemn and gentle white curtain, Don Quixote and her soldiers carried dozens of coffins and walked slowly and heavily towards the cemetery.
There was no sad wind, nor did there be a drizzle that made people cry. The sunlight fell on everyone's shoulders, and the fragrant breeze blew across their cheeks. Zhou Li stood among the crowd of people, silently staring at the solemn and solemn team.
The people of Ramancha may not have received much education. Most of them were just farmers throughout their lives, but the legacy left by the old lord made these farmers more simple than their appearance. They had never learned any etiquette and maintained absolute silence. Everyone fixed their eyes on the soldiers who were sleeping forever, standing straight.
Soon, Don Quixote's team arrived at the middle of the road. Several old men with white hair and beards took a step forward, and the bronze instruments made ethereal sounds like lone wild goose, interspersed among the clouds.
There is no sorrow or joy, nor does it cry.
The soldiers' families took a step forward and gently covered their palms on the coffin for a few seconds, representing the final farewell.
Don Quixote walked at the front of the team, with magical patterns flashing on her shoulders, but this was not a magic circle that relieved her burden. In the blue arc, countless thin lines spread over all the coffins, gathering their weight on Don Quixote's shoulders.
She did not use the power of a pro. At this time, some sweat oozed from Don Quixote's smooth forehead, but she ignored it and did not move at all.
Don Quixote just continued to carry dozens of lost lives and walked towards their destination.
The long cry of the lone wild goose stopped, and Don Quixote stood still. Sixty-four square gaps appeared in front of her. Don Quixote's expression seemed to have fluctuated slightly, but it quickly became hidden. She closed her eyes and shouted in the loudest and loudest voice in her life:
"Return home!"
The shouts of returning home seemed to have shocked the wind. At this moment, the white sea of flowers seemed to be frozen with time. But soon, Ramancha's shouts followed Don Quixote's voice.
"Please return home!"
Taking a step forward, Don Quixote bent his right knee and half kneeled on the ground, but her waist and back were straight. She was just saying goodbye to the wanderers waiting to go home, wanting to look at them in a right direction, that's all.
"Humble, honor, sacrifice!"
As the soul of the Guardian Shield, Don Quixote chose to personally put the coffin of each soldier into his tomb. She gritted her teeth and placed heavy coffins into the earth, slowly closing the coffin.
"Heroic, compassion, soul, honesty, justice!"
When the last coffin was placed in the tomb, Don Quixote stood in front of the monument and his right hand hit his heart heavily. She stared at the sixty-four names that burned out the fire of the soul, and a burning breath continued to appear in her chest.
"You fight for justice, and justice sings for you."
"The heroes of Ramancha will embrace you, and you will embrace the truth of the knight."
"You will be with us, we will stare into the same sky, and continue to follow the eternal and unchanging chivalrous spirit."
Don Quixote took off the white flowers on his chest, and the armor made a crisp sound with her movements. Then, all the people attending the funeral walked forward one after another, silently put the white flowers under the stone tablet, and then stepped aside.
"Mom, is this my dad's name?"
A girl about seven or eight years old walked to the stone tablet. She raised her head, looked at the familiar name, and asked timidly: "Why did Dad write her name on it?"
The woman in a black suit had red eyes. She gently placed the bouquet on the altar of the stone tablet, then leaned down and smiled in front of her daughter.
"Dad is a hero. In order to protect more Xiaoli, I went to a very distant place and may not be back for a long time."
"He carved his name on the stone, just to let Xiaoli come here to take a look and recite his name when she was thinking about him. This way you can know, no matter when..."
The sky is vast, and the sea of flowers is just a white sail. Women and girls are like two soft ink marks with soft pen tips, writing messages on the white sail.
"He will always guard you."
Legend has it that a farmer was attacked by evil spirits. He was panicked and began to run non-stop. He ran for a long time and finally broke into a graveyard full of tombstones without words. When the farmer saw the tombstones without characters, he was completely desperate, but exhausted, he could no longer run. Faced with the evil spirits that were pressing step by step, the farmer could only lie in the graveyard and quietly wait for the arrival of death.
However, until dawn, the farmer did not die. He was surprised to find that the evil spirit kept wandering around the cemetery, roaring wildly, but did not dare to move forward. The curious farmer began to wander in this cemetery, hoping to find the holy object to repel the evil spirit. However, no matter how he looked, he could not find the holy object to repel the evil spirit.
Until he left, he accidentally discovered a tombstone with the only words. He brushed away the dust on the tombstone and read the text on it softly.
"Tomb of the Unknown Knight"
"Salute to the exotic knight who sacrificed his life to protect the village."
Martyrs are in the tomb, and evil ghosts are afraid.
*********************************************
The funeral is over.
These sixty-four soldiers who died in a foreign land would become part of the soul of the town, but did not add scars to Ramancha. After the funeral, everyone returned to their homes and began to continue their work.
Don Quixote, the family of all the martyrs, gave the most generous pension. The girl named "Raya Li" and her mother would no longer worry about money in the rest of their lives. However, Li's mother did not hold all the pension in her hands. On the contrary, she quickly found Don Quixote, hoping to send pear to the academy and let her study.
With Lin Zi's help, the girl entered a college with a good environment in Baiyin City to study history and arithmetic. That college is not the best aristocratic school, but it is the most suitable college for pears.
Three days later, Don Quixote settled everything. She also recruited the original training Guardian Shield into the legion. Because the number of people was insufficient, Guardian Shield did not continue the original 100-man group, but only left fifty people.
But this is not a weakening for the Guardian Shield. On the contrary, the Guardian Shield who survived the war in Jordan all advanced. This legion led by Don Quixote has twelve brilliant knights and even three demigod knights. The rest, except for the new knights, are all platinum-level guardian knights.
This is a very strong improvement for the Guardian Shield. In this world, personal power may play a significant role in the war, but what can really lay the foundation for the battle is the finale of each legion.
Legion is not a simple superposition of people. In the entire continent, there are only a few teams that can be called "legions", and each legion is the sharp force of the country. Just like the pioneering sword legion that Zhou Li looked down upon, it can compete with or even defeat the demigod-level enemies on the front battlefield.
You should know that there are many golden pros in the Pioneer Sword Legion, but with the terror of the Legion, they still have the strength to fight across levels.
Therefore, the Guardian Shield led by Don Quixote now has vaguely looked like an immortal diamond. For Don Quixote, if she could lead the current Guardian Shield back, she would have the confidence to protect more people and save more people who died in false hands.
For Magnan and even the entire world, the reappearance of the Guardian Shield is a matter worthy of attention. If Zhou Li is a human-shaped self-propelled nuclear bomb, then the Guardian Shield, whose strength has been greatly enhanced, is an elite tank unit. They may not have terrifying destructive capabilities, but they have an irreplaceable role that Zhou Li can do.
"Mr. Zhou Li, I have one thing..."
Don Quixote is preparing to set up the venue for training recruits in the Twilight Forest, where there are monsters suitable for training and farmhouses as supply points, which is a very ideal training ground.
On the way to the twilight forest, Don Quixote came to Zhou Li's magic vehicle with a rare blushing face and said with some difficulty: "I want to tell you something."
Um???
To be honest, when Don Quixote, who was blushing and blushing, appeared in front of Zhou Li, Zhou Li, who was in deep thought because of the black fog, almost jumped off the car directly.
“What’s the situation?!”
Zhou Li patted his chest, his expression more shy than Don Quixote, "You won't have any ideas about your brother, right?"
"Don't make fun of me."
After being interrupted by Zhou Li, Don Quixote, who was interrupted by anger, was less tempted than the previous one. Zhou Li smiled haha, took out a can of bubble water from the trunk of the Magic Motorcycle and handed it to Don Quixote, and said to her in a gentle tone:
"If you have something to say, your face is really not suitable for thinking."
"You...ah."
Don Quixote, who was quite helpless, sighed, and Eluma, who was beside him, covered her mouth with a smile on her face. Don Quixote, who had no sense of tension, looked at Zhou Li and said to him: "That's right, I want to borrow some money from you."
"Um?????"
This news almost made Zhou Li squeeze the bubble water in front of Don Quixote, not because he was stingy and didn't want to borrow money. For Zhou Li, money was just a number. Anyway, there were many people who spent money on Magnan III. However, he was shocked by "Don Quixote"'s "borrowing money".
It's like Tang Monk came to the Kingdom of Women and withstood the temptations of the daughter king. Just as readers were bored to read "Tang Sanzang sticks to his original intention and continues his journey after leaving the Kingdom of Women", Tang Monk suddenly lifted his cassock and slapped his Zen stick, and directly married the Queen of the Kingdom of Women and founded the Tang Cult, developed the Holy Gandhi missile to bomb the Pure Land, and unify the Three Realms and become the King of Seas in the New Century.
"Sorry, I know this request is abrupt."
Don Quixote lowered his head slightly. For her, borrowing money was far more uncomfortable than being beaten by someone. After all, she has grown up so old, because she fought with the big goose and the rooster, I don’t know how many times she got beaten, but it was the first time I borrowed money.
"It doesn't matter if you borrow money. Now we don't lack money, let alone anything else."
Zhou Li scratched his head and asked curiously: "But what I'm curious is, why are you borrowing money?"
"Forehead…"
He was a little hesitant, but Don Quixote still answered: "Aren't you going to Tarik?"
"hold head high."
"You go to Tarik and bring the Guardian Shield."
"Um."
"Although Tarik never invades, their people are born warriors in the snow, you know this."
"ah."
“Tarick holds a Warrior Championship every three years in winter, I just recruited new soldiers, so…”
"Ao."
Zhou Li nodded and said with a sudden realization: "You want to borrow money to lead the Guardian Shield to participate in the annual Warrior Championships in Tarik. You want to train new recruits while improving cohesion and combat effectiveness, right?"
“Right right.”
Zhou Li suddenly fell silent. After a long time, he asked quietly: "Then why do you have to lay so many foundations?"
Looking at Don Quixote, whose cheeks were suddenly covered with crimson, Zhou Li was a little amused. This knight lady rarely socializes, let alone borrowing money from others. It seems that she is not inhumane and doesn't like socializing, but only Zhou Li knows...
When Don Quixote talks to people, his thoughts will go wild.
In the last life, Zhou Li had a drink with Don Quixote. Don Quixote, who was exposed to alcohol for the first time in his life, lived up to expectations. After drinking the second cup, he fell drunk and began to cry and complain to Zhou Li. She said that once she talked to others, many thoughts would appear in her brain.
Just like you told her to eat bananas tonight, Don Quixote's brain would say to her, "Banana grows in southern cities. Last time I went to Aspiri, the capital of Nia, and saw a stone sculpture. I remember that there was a blue bird on the stone sculpture in Austali Square. Will it eat blue rice..."
Then, Don Quixote will be stunned, but she will subconsciously hold a stern face, which will cause those who want to greet Don Quixote to fall into an ice cellar, and finally come up with the answer that Don Quixote is unwilling to communicate with others and is more introverted.
"Okay, I agree."
Zhou Li, who quickly pulled away from his memories, nodded and said to Don Quixote without hesitation: "Go to Lin Zi to get it according to the budget you think you are thinking three times the budget."
"well?"
Don Quixote was stunned for a moment. Zhou Li looked at Don Quixote who was confused, smiled and said to her: "I don't know you yet? Your budget is definitely passing by the deadline. If you can save to the extreme, you will save to the extreme. We are not short of that little gold coins now. Don't forget that sufficient and comfortable rest and nutritious food will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers and look at them for a long time."
Before Don Quixote refused, Zhou Li laughed and wanted to step on the accelerator and ran away. However, he was seriously stopped by the black fog that was focused on "safe driving". Finally, he was so angry that he let Eluma release the black fog and compete fairly with him under the conditions of not being able to apply strength and attack.
However, Don Quixote's eyes were still confused.
After a long time, Don Quixote lowered his head and said softly in confusion:
Chapter completed!
