Chapter 288 Funeral · Journey

The funeral was set in the sea of white irises at the foot of the mountain. In that solemn and gentle white curtain, Don Quixote and her warrior carried dozens of coffins and walked slowly and heavily towards the cemetery.

There is no sad wind, and no drizzle that brings tears. The sun fell on everyone’s shoulders, and a fragrant breeze brushed across his cheeks. Zhou Li stood among the crowd of people, staring silently at the dignified and solemn team.

The people of La Mancha may not have received much education, and most of them have only been farmers all their lives, but the legacy of the old lords makes these farmers more simple than they appear. Having never learned any etiquette, they maintained absolute silence, and everyone fixed their eyes on those warriors who were always sleeping, standing upright.

Soon, Don Quixote’s team came to the middle of the road. A few old men with white hair and beard took a step forward, and the copper musical instruments made an ethereal sound like a solitary bird, interspersed among the clouds.

No grief, no weeping.

The warrior’s family took a step forward, lightly resting their palms on the coffin for a few seconds as a final farewell.

Don Quixote was at the front of the line, her shoulders flashing magical lines, but it wasn’t an array to lighten her load. In that blue arc, countless thin lines spread over all the coffins, gathering their weight on Don Quixote’s shoulders.

She didn’t use the power of a professional. At this time, Don Quixote’s bright and clean forehead oozes a little sweat, but she didn’t pay attention to it, and there was no change.

Don Quixote just continued to carry dozens of dead lives and walked toward their destination.

The long chirping of the solitary bird stopped, and Don Quixote stood still. Sixty-four square gaps appeared in front of her. Don Quixote’s expression seemed to fluctuate a little, but it was quickly hidden. She closed her eyes and shouted in the loudest and most high-pitched voice in her life:

“Homecoming!”

The call of homecoming seemed to startle the wind too, at this moment , This white sea of flowers seems to be frozen with time. But soon, La Mancha’s cry followed Don Quixote’s voice.

“Please go home!”

Taking a step forward, Don Quixote bent his right knee, half kneeling on the ground, but her back was very stiff straight. She was just saying goodbye to these wanderers who were waiting to go home, and wanted to look at them, that’s all.

“Humility, honor, sacrifice!”

As the soul of the Guardian’s shield, Don Quixote chose to place every soldier’s coffin in his grave. She gritted her teeth, put the heavy coffins into the ground, and slowly closed the coffins.

“Brave, mercy, soul, honesty, justice!”

When the last coffin was placed in the tomb, Don Quixote stood in front of the monument, hammering with his right hand above the heart. She stared at the names of the sixty-four Soul Fire burned out, a scorching breath continuously emanating from her chest.

“You fight for justice, and justice sings for you.”

“The Spirit General of La Mancha will embrace you, and you will embrace the truth of the Knight.”

“You will be with us, and we will gaze at the same sky, continuing to follow the spirit of the eternal Knight.”

Don Quixote took off the white flower on his chest , the armor made a crisp sound with her movements. Afterwards, all the people who attended the funeral stepped forward one after another, silently placed the white flower under the stone tablet, and then stepped aside.

“mother, is this the father’s name?”

A girl about seven or eight years old walked up to the stone tablet. She raised her head and looked at the familiar name, timidly. Asked: “Why did the father write his name on it?”

The woman in black plain clothes had red eyes, she lightly placed the bouquet on the altar of the stone tablet, and then leaned down, He smiled in front of his daughter.

“father is a hero who went to a faraway place to protect more little pears and may not come back for a long time.”

“He carved his own The name is to let Xiaoli come here to have a look when he thinks of him, and read his name. This will let you know that no matter when…”

The sky is very vast, and the sea of flowers is just a A white sail. Women and girls are like two soft ink marks, writing messages on white sails.

“He will always watch over you.”

According to legend, a farmer was attacked by evil spirits and lost one’s head out of fear and started running. He ran for a long time, and finally broke into a cemetery full of wordless tombstones. When the farmer saw the tombstones without any characters, he was completely desperate, but he was exhausted and could no longer run. Facing the pressing evil, the farmer could only lie in the cemetery, quietly waiting for death to come.

But the farmer did not die until dawn. He was surprised to find that the evil spirit kept wandering around the cemetery, roaring frantically, but did not dare to take half a step forward. Curious farmers began to wander the graveyard, hoping to find a sacred relic that would repel the evil. However, no matter how he looked, he could not find a sacred relic that repelled the evil.

Until he left, he accidentally found a tombstone with only words. He brushed the dust off the tombstone and softly read the words on it.

“The Tomb of the Unknown Knight”

“Salute to the exotic Knight who sacrificed his life to protect the village.”

The martyr’s crown mound is feared by ghosts.

****************************************

The funeral is over.

The sixty-four warriors who died in battle would become part of the town’s soul without scarring La Mancha. After the funeral, everyone returned to their homes and resumed their work.

Don Quixote, the family members of all the martyrs, gave the most generous pension. The girl named “Raya Pear” and her mother will not worry about money in the second half of their lives. But pear’s mother did not hold the pension in her hands. On the contrary, she quickly found Don Quixote, hoping to send pears to the Academy and let her study.

With the help of Lin Zi, the girl entered a good Academy in Silver City to study history and arithmetic. That Academy isn’t the best aristocratic school, but it’s the best Academy for pears.

Three days later, Don Quixote settled everything. She also recruited the originally trained backup Guardian Shield into the Legion. Because of the lack of numbers, the Guardian Shield did not continue the original 100-person group, but only left 50 people.

But this is not a weakening of the Guardian’s shield. On the contrary, all the Guardian’s shields who survived the war in Jordan have been upgraded. This Legion led by Don Quixote has ten. Two Bright Knights, and even three and a half Divine Knights. Except for the new Knights, the rest are all Guardian Knights of the Platinum Grade.

This is a very powerful boost to Guardian’s Shield. In this world, individual strength may play a significant role in the war, but the final decision of each Legion is what can really set the battle.

Legion is not a simple superposition of numbers. In the entire continent, there are very few teams that can be called “Legion”, and each Legion is the leading force of the country. Just like Legion, the pioneering sword that Zhou Li looked down on, it can compete or even defeat other enemies of the Demi-God Level on the frontal battlefield.

You must know that there are many gold professionals in Legion, the sword of pioneering, but under Legion’s terrifying blessing, they still have the strength to fight across levels.

Therefore, the shield of the Guardian led by Don Quixote now has the appearance of the immortal diamond in the past. For Don Quixote, if she can lead the current Guardian Shield to come back, she is confident to protect more people and save more people who died in false hands.

For Magnum, and for the entire world, the re-emergence of the Guardian’s Shield is a matter of concern. If Zhou Li is a humanoid self-propelled nuclear bomb, then the greatly enhanced Guardian Shield is an elite tank force. They may not have the terrifying destructive power, but they have a role that Zhou Li cannot replace.

“Mr. Zhou Li, I have one thing…”

Don Quixote is going to set the training ground for the new recruits in the Dusk Forest, where there is a devil beast suitable for training soldiers, and at the same time There are also farmhouses as a supply point, which is a very ideal training ground.

On the way to Dusk Forest, Don Quixote rarely came to Zhou Li’s magic car. With a blushing face, he said in a somewhat unspeakable manner: “I want to tell you something.”

Huh? ? ?

To be honest, when the blushing Don Quixote appeared in front of Zhou Li, Zhou Li, who was in deep thought while driving in the dark fog, almost jumped out of the car.

“What’s the situation?!”

Zhou Li patted his chest, with a more shy expression than Don Quixote, “You don’t think about your brother, do you.”

“Don’t make fun of me.”

When interrupted by Zhou Li, Don Quixote, who was laughing impatiently, lost his sneer. Zhou Li haha’s laughed, took out a can of sparkling water from the trunk of the magic car and handed it to Don Quixote, and said to her in a gentle tone:

“If you have something to say, your face is so real It’s not suitable for thinking.”

“You… alas.”

The helpless Don Quixote sighed, while Elma covered his mouth with a smile on his face. Don Quixote, who had no tension at all, looked towards Zhou Li and said to him: “That’s right, I want to borrow some money from you.”

“en? ????”

“en? ????”

p>

This news almost made Zhou Li burst the sparkling water in front of Don Quixote, not because he was stingy and didn’t want to borrow money. For Zhou Li, money is a number, anyway, Magnum III’s side There are many who are flowers. However, he felt an unprecedented shock about the “borrowing money” of “Don Quixote”.

It’s like Tang Seng came to the daughter country and resisted all the temptations of the daughter king. Just when the reader was bored and ready to read “Tang Sanzang sticks to his heart and leaves the daughter country to continue his journey”, Tang Seng suddenly lifted his robe and put down his Zen staff, and directly married the king of the daughter country and founded the Tang religion, and developed the St. Gandhi missile bombing. Elysium world, unifying Three Realms to become the king of navigation in the new century is like nonsense.

“Sorry, I know this request is abrupt.”

Don Quixote lowered his head slightly. For her, borrowing money is far more important than being beaten. more uncomfortable. After all, I’ve grown up so much, and I don’t know how many times I’ve been beaten for fighting with geese and roosters, but this is the first time I’ve borrowed money.

“It doesn’t matter if you borrow money, and now we are not short of money, let alone.”

Zhou Li scratched his head and asked curiously: “But I am curious. Yes, what are you borrowing money for?”

“Uh…”

There was some hesitation, but Don Quixote still replied: “Aren’t you going to Tariq? ?”

“En.”

“You will bring the Guardian Shield when you go to Taric.”

“en.”

“Although Tariq never invades, their people are born warriors in the snow, you know that.”

“Ah.”

” Tariq holds warrior tournaments every three winters, and I just recruited new soldiers, so…”

“ao.”

Zhou Li said suddenly: “You want to borrow money to lead the Guardian Shield to Tariq’s annual warrior tournament, and you want to train your recruits to improve cohesion and battle strength, right?”

“That’s right.”

Zhou Li was silent for a long time, then he asked quietly: “Then why do you want to set up so much?”

Looking at Tang Ji, whose cheeks were suddenly full of red. Hete, Zhou Li somewhat didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. This Miss Knight rarely socializes, let alone borrows money from others. It seems that she is not friendly and does not like to socialize, but only Zhou Li knows…

When Don Quixote talks to people, his mind will run wild.

In previous life, Zhou Li once had a drink with Don Quixote. Don Quixote, who was exposed to alcohol for the first time in his life, lived up to the public’s expectations. After the second drink, he fell directly drunk and began to cry and complain to Zhou Li. She said that as soon as she talks to others, a lot of thoughts pop up involuntarily in her mind.

As if you told her to eat bananas tonight, Don Quixote’s brain would say to her “Banana grew in the southern city last time I went to Aspiri, the capital of Nia, and saw one. Stone sculpture, I remember that there is a blue bird on the stone sculpture of Austral Plaza, will it eat blue rice?”

Then, Don Quixote will be stunned, but she will subconsciously plan This will make those who want to chat with Don Quixote fall into the ice cellar, and finally come to the answer that Don Quixote is reluctant to communicate with people and is more withdrawn.

“Okay, I agree.”

Zhou Li, who quickly pulled away from his memory, said to Don Quixote without any hesitation: “According to what you think now Three times the budget, go to Lin Zi’s to get it.”

“Huh?”

Don Quixote was stunned for a while, and Zhou Li looked at Don Quixo who was bewildered. De, after laughing, said to her: “I don’t know you yet? Your budget is definitely on the verge of passing, and you can save as much as you can. We are not missing that little gold coin now, don’t forget. Sufficient and comfortable rest and nutritious food will greatly improve the soldier’s battle strength, so take a long-term view.”

Before Don Quixote refused, Zhou Li laughed and wanted to step on the accelerator and gallop. go. But it was seriously stopped by the black fog focused on “safe driving”, and finally flew into a rage out of humiliation to allow Elma to release the black fog and compete fairly with herself without applying power and attack.

However, there was still confusion in Don Quixote’s eyes.

After a long time, Don Quixote lowered his head and whispered in doubt:

“I’m not going to save money…”
