Chapter 62
Due to religious beliefs, the burial of the deceased was often chosen near the church a long time ago, and the distance from the church was a reflection of personal identity. Only the high clergy and nobles of the church were eligible to be buried inside the church. .
With the development of these years, the population of the Ryan Empire has exploded, and the inherent concept has been broken with pedantic old customs. The corpse burial is no exception. A large number of corpses are buried around the church. Obviously not clean and hygienic enough, believers do not want to smell the strong corpse odor to worship.
Therefore, the government promulgated laws on cemetery burial, and built three to five cemeteries around the city of Preston to provide for the deceased. Take responsibility for the cemetery.
Of course, if there is a noble deceased, there is also room for the body to be stored in the church.
The graves of the Grants are at Schotts Cemetery outside South City, where Donald arrived at noon.
The rain in the past few days stopped last night, but there was still some stamina, and the sky was still gray. Donald was holding a cane in one hand and an umbrella in the other. He felt a little bit. Strange, no gentleman like him in the neighborhood sees it that way.
Bouquets and wine, these are sold in shops near the cemetery, and he even saw a lot of hotels.
There are hotels next to every cemetery, which is no joke.
“Sir, go straight ahead, turn left when you see the sign, and then go straight for a section of the road, you will see the cobblestone trail. Going along the road is Shetz Cemetery.”
Donald specifically confirmed the location when he bought the bouquet to make sure his memory was correct before continuing on the road.
A funeral procession is passing by along the way, with family members in the front, and priests and friends and relatives in the back. The ladies wear black veils, and the men wear black formal suits like Donald, and a faint sobbing can be heard.
There are no scenes of crying and grabbing the ground, but more of a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
Donald was originally walking in front of them. After thinking about the suspicion that he was blocking the road, he took the initiative to stop by the side of the road. He took off his hat when the motorcade passed by, and several gentlemen in the team glanced at him. The same compliment was given immediately after noticing the bouquet in his hand.
Donald followed them after waiting for the team to pass, following the street out of Preston City, the street sign, followed by a flat and grassy road, the vegetation in front was quite lush , There are signs of artificial planting, which should be to ensure the air condition in the cemetery and beautify the cemetery environment.
Just before stepping on the cobblestone path, a boy suddenly ran beside him, wearing a somewhat oversized coat, obviously coming towards him.
“Sir, do you know how to get to the Shelters Cemetery?”
The boy tilted his head, and the teeth in his mouth leaked when he spoke, but it didn’t prevent Donald from hearing him clearly. mean.
“Go straight this way.”
Simple response.
“I’m separated from my family, can you take me there, sir?”
“Of course, just follow me.”
I just happen to be If you want to go there, you don’t need to carry him, so he readily agrees.
It’s just that the speed of progress has slowed down a lot. The little boy’s footsteps are not fast. Donald didn’t say much. This is to go to the grave, not to reincarnate. He should be practicing spell skills at home. After coming out, he didn’t plan to go back early today.
Besides, when he walked out of the room this morning, he suddenly realized that it was also unusual for him to be in the room all day long, and Infinita was often at home recently…
Thinking about whether to find a place to practice spell skills in the future, stepping on the uneven cobblestone path on the ground, the team in front has stopped several hundred meters away, through the gap between the trees, Donald can see some or gray, or white gravestone.
“Brother!”
With a crisp voice, Donald raised his head, and a little girl was standing on the lawn calling out to him.
“Thank you for leading the way, I have to go.”
The little boy beside him trotted away, Donald laughed and continued to walk to the cemetery, but he met another acquaintance along the way. , the manager of the corner bookstore.
Kann Antoine, who was also wearing a formal suit, seemed stunned when he saw the oncoming Donald.
“Mr. Antoine, what a coincidence.”
Seeing each other, the old man couldn’t say hello at this time, so Donald took the initiative to speak.
“Yes, today is the death anniversary of my two friends. Although I am old, as long as I remember this day, I must come here. By the way, the last time you bought it from me. “Evil Banishment”, did it help you?”
“It’s useful, but I don’t understand it well, although I used to be a student of religious studies, but I’ve been graduating for several months now… It’s a bit shameful to say.”
There are a lot of religious descriptions in the book “Evil Banishment”, the predecessor may be able to read it, as for the current Donald, it seems very difficult, often With the help of some basic religious books in the bookcase in your room, you can read it.
“The learning of knowledge is indeed the case, because it is hard to learn, and it is difficult to find it. If it is only a cursory browsing, how can you care about the connotation.”
“It seems safe and sound. Mr. Towan has a lot of experience in reading this?”
“Haha, it’s just an opinion from an older person, next time you have a chance, come to the corner bookstore, reading will never be out of date In addition, I recently got some new tea leaves, and the taste is very good, I hope you can come and taste it, the sooner the better, otherwise my son and I will finish drinking.”
Between the two The conversation ends here, Kann Antoine wants to go back to his bookstore, and Donald enters the cemetery to find the graves of the Grant couple.
Unexpectedly, it seems that someone came to worship before him…
Standing in front of the stone tablet with the epitaph, Donald’s eyes locked on The two bouquets on the ground are white lilies of the same species, wrapped in white cloth.
Put down the things you brought, reach out and pinch a petal, squeeze a little harder, and some juice will seep out, which means that the two bouquets have only been placed here for a while.
A relative or friend of the former parents?
Don’t think too much about the documents stored in the bank before looking at the bank. Now that he knows the identity of his former parents is not simple, naturally, he will think about this aspect.
Donald’s memory about relatives and friends did not exist, so he stood up and looked around, trying to find one or two people to stimulate his predecessor’s memory, and then recall some key things.
The person who stimulated the memory was not found, but it was not nothing. A man with a shovel and a full beard was shoveling dirt in the vicinity.
The tomb keeper.
