Throne of Magical Arcana

309 The Funeral of the Musician

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

The black hearses pulled by the four bulls proceeded smoothly, and more and more citizens braved the hazy drizzle to stand on both sides of the street, watching them pass with a little sadness.

It was only a few days after the crazy concert that almost caused a commotion in the city, and the melody seemed to echo in the hearts of everyone who listened to the music, so after hearing the news of the death of Lucien Evans, it has not been forgotten The shock of their movement made them unable to control their emotions, and they felt sad.

For the spirit that Lucien Evans told them to never give up, for the precious pure joy he brought, they rushed to the streets, for the proud and talented musician Lucien of Aalto • Evans sees off.

The dripping rain hit their faces, making them wet, which seemed to be mixed with tears, adding to the sentimental atmosphere.

If the time is a week late, if not in Aalto, it may be difficult to have such a spectacular scene, the streets that pass by seem to be crowded with people from the entire city.

Watching the hearse go away, some people with strong emotions or crazy worship of Lucian Evans rushed into the street, drenched in rain, and joined the spiritual protection team.

As a person dressed in a black coat and sorrowful and throbbing spontaneously followed from different streets, the team grew stronger.

When the hearse entered the noble area, most of the nobles who were invited to participate in the funeral of Lucian Evans became stunned because they saw the black and white heads on the left and right of the hearse, and the endless and inexhaustible "protection" "Ling Ren" like a black tide with a slight sense of sadness and sorrow.

Maybe they have never seen so many people gather together except for the municipal square of Aalto Concert. Because of the same purpose, these nobles seem to have an illusion that these tens of millions of ordinary people After being connected together, a terrible force erupted, as if unstoppable, and it was able to devour everything along the way.

"I can't think of Lucien Evans being so popular and admired." The nobles with knight ranks seemed calmer in such a scene, secretly feeling, "If I had funerals, so many people could send spirits and protect them." That ’s the greatest glory except for the coming of the true God and the Lord ’s spiritual support. Even if you die, there will be no regrets. "

When the hearse passed by, the nobles also joined the spiritual protection team.This is a part of the funeral of the god of truth. Those who are going to attend the final funeral ceremony must escort the hearse through the last distance, not because they love Lucien Evans and his music too much because they worship too much. Protect the spirit with ordinary people.

The Cardinal Gossle in front of the golden cathedral looked at the spectacular and horrifying team of spirits, his face slightly changed, and he subconsciously drew a cross on his chest, whispering: "Only the truth will last!"

When the casket entered the golden cathedral, ordinary people in the guardian team who had not been invited for a long time did not want to leave, covered with mist and drizzle, praying and blessing around the church.

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

…………

In the auditorium, the casket is placed under the cross, symbolizing that he is a devout believer.

The sadness stopped, and Cardinal Gossé held a milky white holy cross solemnly and solemnly: "The Lord of Mercy and Mercy, we are here today to offer prayers to Brother Lucien Evans. He has already walked the world. You are picked up. We are convinced that all those who believe in you, accept you, believe in you, respect you, and follow your path will receive your redemption and rest in heaven. "

Nobles, musicians, musicians, etc., who filled the auditorium, closed their eyes and followed their prayers.

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

After praying, Gossé looked at Natasha, Joel, Alyssa, John, Victor, and others, and looked around the hall again. The tone was calm and authentic: "The Lord taught us that death is like night, but after night, the light is bright. Coming soon. Death is not worthy of fear, because our dead brothers and sisters will ascend into the mountain of heaven, in the same country as us, and we can still communicate with each other and pray for each other. "

After the blessings and prayers are the memories of family and friends. Joel, Alisa, John and Victor walked forward to speak, tracing the bits and pieces of Lucien Evans's life, some of them wept, and some were introverted. , While others abide by the Lord ’s teachings and comfort others, so that they can restore their inner strength and run towards the future.

When the remembrance came to an end, Natasha approached Cardinal Gossé.

She wore a black conservative long skirt with long black hair covered with long hair. She looked at the joyful things with Lucian Evans with a sad expression, and finally the emotion gradually calmly said: "He once treated me It has been said that if one day he fails to make a will and dies, he will donate the "Brons" estate under his name to the Musicians Association for safekeeping. "

Speaking of which, Othello and other musicians nodded slightly. Lucian Evans was indeed a man who purely loved music and was able to donate most of his property, the manor, to the association.

Natasha continued: "He hopes to use all of the estate's proceeds to set up an award and a competition. The award is to commend the most outstanding piece of music in the entire mainland in three years. It will be selected by all official members of the Alto Musicians Association. It is also a continent-wide piano competition held every three years to promote the development of a new musical instrument, piano, to inspire and inspire more piano lovers to truly embark on the path of music. "

The Broons Manor was selected by Natasha and given to Lucien. It is worth several thousand quintals, and its income is also good. The annuity is about one hundred quintals, which is equivalent to a famous musician ’s annual Total income, three years add up to 300 quintals.For many impoverished musicians or piano lovers who have just embarked on the music path, even if only half of them are a very, very generous bonus.

"Mr. Lucian Evans has a golden heart. He is always concerned about the development of music and those who are new to music." Othello stood up and thanked the musicians' association for donation. "I propose to award He and the competition were named the "Evens Music Award" and the "Evens Continent Piano Competition." At the same time, the Aalto Musicians Association decided to set up stone statues for every master who made outstanding contributions to the development of music or wrote immortal classics. "

"They will be built on the top of Casia Hill next to the Belem River, so that everyone who comes to Aalto and every child who plays can see them and then know the bright names."

Christopher and Victor nodded: "I have no opinion."

The neat but warm applause sounded in accordance with the funeral atmosphere, the noble character and love of music for a great musician.

At this time, Natasha added: "I also donated the proceeds of a private estate that I belong to, so that the prizes of the" Evens Music Award "and the" Evens All Continental Piano Competition "are stabilized to 300 gold. Thaler. "

"Thank you for your generosity." Othello did not object to Natasha's request because the game prize was the same as the music prize, because the three hundred Kintar must be awarded the first, second and third prizes, otherwise It's not enough to motivate and inspire newcomers.

Joel, Alyssa, John and others did not have any objection to Natasha ’s unauthorized disposal of the “Brons” manor. They believed that Her Royal Highness would not forge a last word because of a manor, and this manor was given to Lucy by Natasha. Yeah.

Only Cardinal Gosai frowned slightly: "'Evens Music Award'? This form is very similar to the" Holm Crown Award "" Immortal Throne Award "by evil magicians. It seems that Lucien is from the princess. Your Highness or the professor got the inspiration. "

However, on such occasions, he cannot say anything against it, and there is nothing worthy of attention in an award in the music field.

With the establishment of the "Evens Music Award" and "Evens Piano Continent Competition", the funeral process was completed. The people who participated in the funeral led the choir to sing hymns and blessings in unison, which changed the atmosphere of the funeral. Be divine and solemn.

After all the process was over, Cardinal Gossip sprinkled holy water on the coffin to cleanse all the ugliness and crimes brought to the world.

The coffin was lifted again and went to the cemetery near the golden cathedral. Lucasian ’s relatives and friends such as Natasha, Joel, John, Alisa, Victor, and Felice followed. Other nobles, The musician left the golden cathedral and went home.

Just after stepping out of the church, the nobles were startled by the crowd still hovering around, and there were so many people waiting?

Seeing the nobles coming out, the people waiting for the final part of the funeral rushed to the nearby noble cemetery, and saw the black coffin put into 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 the sorrowful emotion was still permeated again when the church guard filled the soil into the tomb.

The tan soil drowned the coffin a little bit, like to cut off the last trace of the dead and the living, and the tears of Alissa, Felice, and Alina burst into tears and could not restrain crying, Joel, John , Victor, Natasha, etc. also closed their eyes, painful and solemn.

People who saw this scene couldn't bear the repressive atmosphere of depression. They all closed their eyes, and some people even cried.

Suddenly, the hoarse voice of a girl choked softly:

"Happy angels are holy and beautiful, and the bright light shines on the earth." ......

The joyful and solemn song seems to be very incompatible with the solemn and mournful funeral, but the spirit it contains is so consistent. Lucian Evans has been crying all the time, just to tell everyone not to give up in the face of suffering, still To persevere towards the light and joy.

As a result, people gradually became infected, and more and more people sang along:

"On this beautiful earth, all beings rejoice." ...

The song grew louder and passed into the cemetery. Felice and Elena cried more sadly when they heard it, but Natasha sang along, driving them to soothe and inspire their hearts with this song. Life.

"All people, no matter how expensive or cheap, are blessed with divine grace." ...

They were crying and choking, while singing this song to say goodbye to Lucian.

"Happy angels are holy and beautiful, and the bright light shines on the earth ..."

With a touch of sorrow and hope, the song of peace of mind and tears rang repeatedly and refused to stop.

In the singing, after the burial, the tombstone was erected, and above was a short epitaph written by Natasha:

"A musical angel is buried here."

…………

The night is quiet, in the noble villa.

John and his family were sitting on the sofa, and he had not been drowsy for a long time.
