90 Burial
Seeing that Weber fell powerlessly on top of him after finishing his speech, Rhodes was filled with grief.

He sighed helplessly, no miracle happened this time.

His whole body is weak now, and he didn't explode out of anger and kill Phantom directly as he thought.

Rhodes looked angrily at the phantom not far away, clenched his hands into fists, and gritted his teeth.

Seeing Rhode's angry expression, Xu Ying smiled and mocked, "Incompetent and furious."

"I have seen the darkness deep in your heart, in the future you must not forget that this is hell." Xu Ying said with a smile again.

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and countless stabs rose from the cage of the Night King, and the phantom gradually dissipated in the air along with its screams.

The thorns and cage dissipated, leaving only the bloody and battered body of the Night King on the ground.

"It's all my fault, if I didn't kill that black-hearted knight." Baron said angrily, smashing his fist to the ground.

"It's not your fault, no one expected such a thing to happen." Rhode comforted.

"No, I should be blamed. At that time, Weber failed to identify the dagger. He wanted to find a real identification master to identify it, but I stopped him." Hammer said disappointedly, "I didn't expect this dagger to store souls."

The priestess in the distance staggered over, her face was pale, her physical strength was exhausted from the previous battle, she said, "It's all over, he is a hero. As his partners, you should at least help him complete his His last wish, I can use my magic to help you keep his corpse from decaying temporarily."

After she finished speaking, she began to chant the spell, and a layer of golden light appeared on the surface of Weber's skin.

"Thank you very much." Hamer thanked, wiping away the tears on his face.

"We should have fought that bastard back then, so that even if we died, we would go to the Holy Spirit together." Baron sighed again, "It's a pity that he was taken away by the God of Death and didn't go to the Holy Spirit."

"Why?" Rhodes opened his eyes wide.

"This is a kind of ritual. He died in a ceremony held by the priests of the Death God Cult. The souls of the three of them were taken away by the God of Death," the priestess explained.

In the past, they were able to fight bravely because they believed that even if they died in battle, they would be protected by the Holy Spirit. They enjoyed food, wine and fighting every day in the Hall of Valor.

But he didn't expect that Weber, who was about to end his life as an adventurer, could neither return to his hometown to live a happy life as he thought before, nor be able to receive the protection of the Holy Spirit after death.

Thinking of Weber's longing for retirement, Rhode's chest felt uncomfortable.

If Weber hadn't come up with the idea of ​​eradicating the bandits nearby, he would have been able to return to Pinewood Town as a tavern owner and happily enjoy the last time of his life...

I have gone through bitterness and suffering all my life, and the happy and comfortable life is coming but I can't enjoy it...

"Let's get on the road now and send Webb home." Hammer stood up from the ground.

He looked around, their horses were frightened and fled away from the battle just now, he squatted down and carried Weber on his back and walked towards Dawn Province without saying a word...

……

Half a month later, Rhodes and the others arrived in Dawn Province in a daze. Besides Baron and Hamer, the priestess was also in the team.

She waited for the rest of the Knights to collect the corpses, and then rode up to catch up with Rhodes, saying that the magic on Weber's body could only last for a while, and she would release the magic on him every time. Keep corpses from decay.

Everyone asked all the way and finally arrived at the Pinewood Town that Weber said, it is indeed a beautiful town.

There was no Hall of the Dead in Pinewood, so they decided to bury him nearby.

Originally, Hamer planned to build a sarcophagus for Weber himself, but Rhodes suggested that it would be better for him to use the pine trees here to make a coffin for Weber, so that he could sleep forever with the breath of his hometown.

So in the end, everyone worked together to create a coffin, and dug a deep pit on a hill overlooking Pinewood Town to bury Weber.

The tombstone was built by Hammer himself, and Baron wrote the epitaph.

It reads: The Tomb of the Legendary Adventurer, Godslayer Webber.

In July 716 of the Nord new calendar, he died with the ancient false god King of the Night in Hewang Plain at the age of 7.

After that, Hammer asked Baron to engrave a row of Weber's deeds in small characters. Hammer thought carefully that the only things he could get out were the Battle of White Hart Castle and the extermination of the bandits south of Winterfell, so he didn't write it.

Although Wei Bo is far from being a legendary adventurer, everyone felt that there was no problem writing it this way.

At the back of the story, Weber's epitaph is engraved "The world kissed me bitterly, but I reciprocated with song."

"Sigh, it's a pity that Weber has no descendants. No one will remember him after we die." Hammer sighed after putting the lid on Weber's wooden coffin.

"Even if he has descendants, he will be forgotten in a few hundred years." Baron also sighed and began to fill in the soil and erect a monument.

The dagger and other weapons and equipment left by the death priest were all buried in the wooden coffin for him. Even Baron, who has always been greedy for money, did not propose the idea of ​​selling the equipment for money.

And he also put the dark golden throwing ax pinned to his waist into it. After Hamer saw it, he put a necklace around his neck that looked very valuable near Weber's chest.

Looking at Weber's tombstone in front of them, everyone froze for a long time.

This was the first time that Rhodes had lost a partner with deep affection since crossing. Looking at Baron and Hammer with heavy and sad faces, he hoped that this would also be the last time.

……

After going down the mountain, they returned to Weber's old house, which had not been lived in for decades. The children of the surrounding residents still regarded it as a haunted house, and often came here for exciting adventures.

The house has been cleaned up by the priestess. On the way here, Rhodes and the others learned her name Misail.

"Thank you very much. In such a hot summer, without you, we might have to bury Weber in a hurry." Baron said gratefully to Michelle.

Michelle said, "These are what I should do. Your partner sacrificed himself to destroy the evil. How could I not fulfill his little wish before he died? I'm going back to Glory City tomorrow, and I'll tell you first." One sound, so as not to be surprised to find that I'm missing early in the morning."

Glory City is the current residence of the Knights of the Radiance Cross, and the current head of the Knights is the Lord of Glory City, and the name of Glory City was changed after the current Lord became the head of the Knights.

"It's too dangerous for you to be outside alone, the three of us can escort you back." Baron said, "It just so happens that we don't have anything to do recently."

Michelle nodded, and said, "Thank you so much. Although I don't have much money to pay you, I can take care of the expenses on the road."

Baron's eyes widened, "What do you think of us? You have helped us so much, how could we ask for your money? We won't ask you for a penny for the expenses on the road."

Michel apologized to Baron in embarrassment, and then went out to take care of the steed he borrowed from his companion.

Rhode looked at Hamer, who was sitting on the bench without saying a word, staring at the floor in a daze, sighed, and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Before that, he often thought about teaching Weber, who was about to open a tavern, what Chinese food is better. I hope he I can rely on this hand to spend my old age happily, now it seems that I don't need it anymore...
