Chapter 21
2014-08-16
In late autumn, in the morning, Black Rock City is ten li or so north.The pine cypresses in lush and green are still wet, and in the gaps in the forest, you can see rows of black iron fences.
In the periphery of pine and cypress, there are some carriages from time to time. Perhaps because of the environment, the clattering of hooves gave off a solemn feeling here.
Tang En got off the carriage at the iron gate, next to the iron gate there was a stone tablet that read: Black Rock City Greenwoods Cemetery.
There is a registration desk at the entrance of the cemetery. Tang En walked over and asked, "Hello, I have a friend who was buried here about three days ago. His name is Bart. I want to know where he is buried. Where?"
"Wait, may I have your name..."
"Well, Arthur."
The administrator writes in the register After reading Arthur's name, he opened a book, and after checking a few pages, he said, "Your friend is at No. 87 in the Western Region."
"Okay, thank you!"
"You're welcome."
Just like Arthur's pseudonym, Tang En's current appearance is a middle age person with a sallow face. As Old Butler said, Assassin never showed his true face during the Quest.
Entering the cemetery, Tang En glanced casually and followed the signs to the Western Region.
This world has new life born every second, and likewise every second life dies. So the cemetery is never short of people all year round.
There is no noble or inferior in life. But the difference in birth place determines their own destiny.
Similarly, when these different lives die, the way of burial is naturally different.
The Greenwoods Cemetery Western Region is a commoner burial area, where the tombstones are of the same size and style, and the interval between the two tombstones is very narrow. A cemetery looked very crowded.
If you want a better cemetery, you don't want to be too close to your neighbors. Well then, please come to the North District, where your wishes can be fulfilled. Of course, the price is much more expensive.
As for the southern district, it is the Martyrs' Garden. Some soldiers and officers who died for their country will be buried there.
The most luxurious is the cemetery in the Eastern District, but even if you are rich, you will never want to come in here, because this is the burial area of the nobles.
Every time a noble dies, the East District will be very lively, not to mention the ostentation, of course, how luxurious and how to arrange it.
Funerals, nothing more. It's not just about mourning the dead, it's about giving vanity to the living. This is true no matter which time and space, which world.
In the wild, Tang En came to the Western Region.
People in small groups gather in front of the tombstone, whispering and sobbing incessantly. The towering cypresses around it temporarily blocked the sun rising from the east, giving the place a dark gray tone.
Tang En went all the way to the cemetery No. 87. The tombstone handwriting is simple, it is Bart's tomb, and the time of birth and death.
Compared with the tombstone next to it, Bart's tombstone has an extra sentence "May you return to the embrace of Light God."
A tombstone generally engraved with this sentence indicates that The dead inside are believers of the Light God. Of course, there are exceptions. If you have the money to ask a priest to save you after you die, the priest will also engrave this sentence for you.
Tang En exhaled, brought a bunch of white daisy and placed it in front of the tombstone.
If Father York is "not a person", this Bart, nicknamed Violent Bear, is his first target to kill in another world, and it is still a close combat assassination.
Of course, although I have some feelings in my heart, Tang En came here early in the morning, not to pay homage to Violent Bear, which would be too hypocritical.
This time he came here, but he was on the way. His main purpose was to monitor the second target.
Although I am familiar with the effect of level up in space, how practical it is, it is more appropriate to test it with practice.
"Hey, this is the tomb of that guy Violent Bear..."
When a group of people who looked unkind by looking at the dress passed by behind Tang En, one of them casually saw it. Bart's tombstone.
The group of people stopped when they heard the words, a sharp-nosed monkey on the head, and the thin figure carefully looked at the tombstone: "Bart... Well, it's Violent Bear. I was drinking with him more than ten days ago. After drinking, didn't expect..."
The man sighed with emotion in a fickle tone, saw Tang En standing beside him, and said with a smile: "Brother is Axe Gang ?"
Tang En blinked and cupped his hands: "Yeah, could you be Moya from Azure Wolf Gang?"
"Yo, brother knows me?"
"Well, I heard from Violent Bear Boss that he admires your resourcefulness."
Of course I know you. Moya, five feet tall, with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, is thin. Small boss of the Azure Wolf Gang, often lurking at Pier 66 in Southport.
I was going to find you later, but didn't expect to send it to my door. It's really... There is no way for you to vote in hell.
"Haha, the Violent Bear brother is really good." Naturally, Moya didn't know the situation, and said with a smile in a shrill voice, "I'm just coming up with some ideas, which is better than Violent. Brother Bear's strength. Having said that, brother, I really envy the benefits of your Axe Gang."
"Uh...is that so?" Tang En answered vaguely.
Moya: "Of course, those of us who buy and sell blood with a knife may be hacked to death on the street one day. When they die, they are naturally a thin coffin, and they are buried directly. But you Axe Gang are not bad. When Violent Bear was buried, he specially invited a priest to save him. This matter has spread, and we are really envious."
"Oh, this... ...It's pretty good, contribute to the gang, hehe!"
Moya said with emotion: "So, Axe Gang's benefits are really good."
"big brother, over there with the Boss..." a brawny man reminded him.
"Oh, that's right. Today is the death anniversary of our former Gang Leader, so it's inconvenient to talk about it. Brother, you can come to Pier 66 for a drink in the future."
"Okay, Definitely!" Tang En cupped the hands said with a smile. It is certain to find you, but for things like drinking, you should go to Violent Bear...
The five members of the Azure Wolf Gang also left. As we walked further away, the voice came,
"Boss, are you familiar with Violent Bear?"
"I'm familiar with it, so I drank a drink, that brute force A fool..." Moya's tone was disdainful.
"I heard that Violent Bear was hacked to death by that rotten gambler in the former dock?"
"Yeah, Violent Bear took the order to kill the rotten gambler, and it turned out to be I was killed by someone. So I often teach you that brute force is unreliable, this thing is unreliable, and the key lies in the mind..."
"Yes, yes, the Boss is wise!"
…………
Although those people have lowered their voices, Tang En, who has been trained in this area, can still hear clearly. Hearing that, he was instantly happy. Emotionally, they always thought that Violent Bear was killed by a rotten gambler...
But that's okay, it's not a good thing for Assassin to be too famous.
Since it collided with the target, it is naturally inappropriate to follow it.
The best way now is to ask him to drink in a couple of days, then get him drunk and kill him casually.
Thinking of this, Tang En walked down the Western Region cemetery and walked towards the gate of the cemetery.
The sun has risen, shaded by pine and cypresses, and the gloomy cemetery looks much brighter.
At this moment, the pedestrians in front of Tang En started to spread out.
Huh? Tang En squinted and looked at it, and was taken aback for a moment.
I only saw a strange man with bright-colored clothes, long hair, and a strange mask on his face jumping up and down the road.
The weird mask is full of red and white symbols of everything in disorder. At the corners of the eyes, it seems that two blood droplets have been dripped with red paint. With the blood red eyes behind the mask, it looks very weird. .
Encountering such strangely dressed people, pedestrians naturally subconsciously step out of the way,
"Tick, tick, tick..."
This weirdo was not polite, talking about an inexplicable rhythm in his mouth, shaking his fingers, and walking in the middle of the aisle with light steps like dancing.
Seeing the masked monster approaching, Tang En also stepped aside.
Unexpectedly, when the man passed by, he tilted his head and glanced at Tang En's face, and the bright red lips under the mask suddenly grinned.
Tang En's body froze, not only because the smile was really ugly, but he also felt that the other party seemed to see through his Camouflage.
"Tick, tick, tick..."
After the masked weirdo smiled, he walked towards the North District. It seems that the smile just now was just inadvertent...
