The sky was gloomy and a little drizzle drizzled, covering everything in Alto in the gauze-like rain, as if even nature had fallen into sorrow and could not help crying.

The black hearse pulled by four bulls was moving forward slowly, and more and more citizens stood on both sides of the street braved the hazy drizzle, watching them passing by with a little sadness.

Only a few days later, the melody seemed to echo in the hearts of every person who listened to the music. After learning about the death of Lucien Evans, the unforgettable shock made them unable to control their emotions and felt sad.

For the spirit of never giving up that Lucien Evans told them, and for the precious pure joy he brought, they rushed to the streets to see off for the pride of Alto, the genius musician Lucien Evans.

Drops of drizzled on their faces, making their faces wet, as if mixed with tears, adding to the sad and spiritual atmosphere.

If it were another week later, it might be difficult to have such a spectacular scene if it weren't for Alto, and the streets that passed seemed to be crowded with people from the entire city.

Watching the hearse go away, some people who are full of emotions or are crazy about Lucien Evans rushed into the street, drizzled in the rain, and joined the spirit guarding team.

As people wearing black coats one by one, grief throbbing followed spontaneously from different streets, the team became stronger and stronger.

When the hearse entered the noble area, most of the nobles invited to attend the funeral of Lucien Evans became stunned because they saw the black heads on both sides and behind the hearse. The boundless and inexhaustible "spirit protectors" slowly surged forward like a black tide with a faint sadness and pain.

Perhaps they had never seen so many people gathered together except for the municipal square of the Alto concert. Due to the same purpose, these nobles seemed to have had an illusion that after these millions of ordinary people were connected, a terrible force erupted, as if they could not stop it, and could swallow everything on the road ahead.

"I didn't expect Lucien Evans to be so popular and worshipped." The nobles of the knight-level were much calmer in such a scene, and secretly sighed, "If so many people could send spirits and protect spirits during my funeral, it would be the greatest glory besides the arrival of the true god and the lord's support of the spirits. Even if they die, there would be no regrets."

When the hearse passed, the nobles also joined the spirit protection team. This is a part of the funeral of the Truth God Church. Those who are about to attend the last funeral will escort the hearse through the last journey, not because they admire and love Lucien Evans and his music too much, and are willing to lower their identities and protect the spirit with ordinary people.

Cardinal Gesai in front of the Golden Cathedral looked at the spectacular and terrifying spirit protection team, his face changed slightly, and subconsciously drew a cross on his chest and whispered: "Only the truth lasts forever!"

When the coffin entered the Golden Cathedral, ordinary people in the spirit guarding team who were not invited were reluctant to leave for a long time. They were wet with the foggy drizzle and prayed and blessed the church.

This made the bishops and pastors feel indescribable, as if a saint was about to be buried.

…………

In the auditorium, the coffin was placed under the cross, symbolizing that he was a devout believer.

The sorrow and joy stopped, Cardinal Cosse held a milky white holy cross and said solemnly: "Mercy and merciful Lord, today we pray for Brother Lucien Evans. He has gone through the journey of the world and is taken by you. We firmly believe that all those who believe in you, accept you, believe in you, respect you, and follow your path will receive your salvation and enjoy peace on Paradise Hill."

The nobles, musicians, musicians and others who were full of the auditorium closed their eyes and followed the prayer.

"He is a pure, pious, noble man, and his music brings strength and joy to the world as you teach. May he continue to offer you beautiful hymns in your country..."

After praying, Gosseci looked at Natasha, Joel, Alisa, John, Victor and others, and looked around the hall again, and said in a calm tone: "The Lord teaches us that death is like night, but after the night, light will come. Death is not worth fearing, because our deceased brothers and sisters will rise to Mount Paradise, and be in the same kingdom as us, and can still communicate with each other and pray for each other."

Blessings and prayers were followed by the memorial of relatives and friends. Joel, Alisa, John, Victor and others walked up to the front to speak, recounting the little things that happened during Lucien Evans during his lifetime. Some of them were sobbing, some were indifferent, and some were introverted, while others followed the Lord's teachings to comfort others, so that they could restore their inner strength and better run towards the future.

When the memorial was over, Natasha walked to Cardinal Gouse.

She wore a conservative black dress, covered with her long hair tied up, and recalled some of the joys she had with Lucien Evans with a slightly sentimental expression. Finally, she gradually calmed down and said: "He once told me that if one day he passed away without making a will, he would donate the 'Brons' manor under his name and hand it over to the Musicians Association for safekeeping."

Speaking of this, musicians such as Othello nodded slightly. Lucien Evans was indeed a person who purely likes music and was able to donate most of his property, the manor, to the association.

Natasha continued: "He hopes to set up an award and a competition with all the benefits of the estate. The award is a recognition of the best musical work in the continent in three years. It will be selected by all the full members of the Alto Musicians Association. The competition is a continental piano competition held every three years to promote the development of the new instrument of piano, and inspire and inspire more piano-loving people to truly embark on the path of music."

The Bronce Manor was selected by Natasha and given to Lucien. It is worth thousands of kintals, and the income itself is good. The annuity is about 100 kintals, which is equivalent to the total annual income of a famous musician. In three years, it reaches 300 kintals. For many poor musicians or piano enthusiasts who have just embarked on the music path, even if only half of it is a very, very generous bonus.

"Mr. Lucien Evans has a heart of gold. He is always concerned about the development of music and those who love music." Othello stood up and thanked the donation on behalf of the Musicians Association. "I propose to name the awards and competitions "Evans Music Awards" and the Evans Continental Piano Competition respectively. At the same time, the Alto Musicians Association decided to set up a stone statue for each master who made outstanding contributions to the development of music or wrote immortal classics."

"They will be built on the top of Mount Casia by the Beren River, so that every person who comes to Aalto and every child who plays can see them and then know the brilliant names."

Christopher, Victor and others nodded: "I have no objection."

The neat but not warm applause sounded very well in line with the atmosphere of the funeral, which was a great musician's noble character and love for music.

At this time, Natasha added: "I donate the proceeds from a private estate, so that the prizes of the 'Evans Music Awards' and 'Evans All-Continental Piano Competition' can be stable to 300 kintals."

"Thank you for your generosity with Your Highness." Othello did not object to Natasha's request because the prize money for the competition was the same as the music prize money, because those three hundred Jintale would definitely score first, second and third prizes, otherwise it would not be able to inspire and inspire later generations.

Joel, Alissa, John and others did not object to Natasha's arbitrarily handling the "Brons" manor. They believed that His Royal Highness would not forge his last words because of a manor, and that this manor was given to Lucien by Natasha.

Only Cardinal Gouse frowned slightly: "'Evans Music Award'? This form is very similar to the 'Holm Crown Award' and 'Immortal Throne Award' of the evil magicians. It seems that Lucien got inspiration from His Royal Highness or the professor."

However, in such an occasion, he could not object, and there was nothing worth paying attention to in a music field.

With the establishment of the "Evans Music Award" and "Evans Continental Piano Competition", the memorial session of the funeral was completed. The people attending the funeral sang hymns and blessings in unison under the leadership of the choir, making the atmosphere of the funeral sacred and solemn.

When all the processes were over, Cardinal Cosselled holy water on the coffin to cleanse all the ugliness and sins that were brought to the world.

The coffin was lifted up again and headed towards the cemetery near the Golden Cathedral. Natasha, Joel, John, Alisa, Victor, Phyllis and other Lucien's relatives and good friends followed him, while other nobles and musicians left the Golden Cathedral and went home.

As soon as they stepped out of the church, the nobles were shocked by the crowd still wandering around. There were so many people waiting?

Seeing the nobles coming out, people waiting for the last part of the funeral flocked to the nearby noble cemetery, and saw the black coffin being placed in the tomb through the iron railing.

The rain stopped a little at this time, and a few rays of sunlight shone through the clouds. But when the church guards filled the soil into the tomb, the sadness and sorrow still spread again.

The yellow-brown soil submerged the coffin bit by bit, as if to cut off the last connection between the dead and the living. Alisa, Phyllis, Alina and others burst into tears and cried uncontrollably. Joel, John, Victor, Natasha and others also closed their eyes, feeling sad and solemn.

People who saw this scene could not bear the depressing atmosphere of farewell, and they closed their eyes, and some even started to cry.

Suddenly, a girl's hoarse and sob sounded softly:

"The angel of joy is holy and beautiful, and its brilliant light shines on the earth."...

Joyful and solemn songs seem to be very inconsistent with the serious and sad funeral, but the spirit it contains is so consistent. Lucien Evans kept shouting, just to tell everyone that they should not give up in the face of suffering, and still run to light and joy persistently.

As a result, people are gradually infected, and more and more people sing:

"On this beautiful earth, all sentient beings share joy."...

The singing became louder and louder, and it was transmitted into the cemetery. Phyllis and Elena cried even more sadly when they heard it, but Natasha sang along, prompting them to soothe their hearts and inspire their lives with this song.

"All people, regardless of their high or low, are given holy blessings."...

They cried and choked, while singing the song to say goodbye to Lucien.

"The angel of joy is holy and beautiful, and its brilliant light shines on the earth..."

With a faint sorrow and hope, the singing mixed with the quietness of the soul and tears sounded repeatedly, and refused to stop.

As the song was singing, the tombstone was erected, with a brief epitaph written by Natasha:

“There is an angel of music buried here.”

…………

It was late at night, and in the villa of the nobles.

John and his family sat on the sofa and were not sleepy for a long time. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
