In this civilized society, anything that becomes an industry has the need to be relied on. For example, housekeeping is because some people don’t want to do housework; for example, fast food is because some people don’t want to do slow food; for example...
For example, funerals are performed because there is death.
When we read the story of a funeral home, we should have a basic understanding that death is a very normal event.
It will appear in various situations, at home, in the hospital, on the street...
It can appear for various reasons, accidents, natural forces, murder, ego...
It will appear in all kinds of people, civilians, dignitaries, wanderers, immigrants...
it will…
Zach should read the funeral information that Hank Sr. left behind. A strange farewell ceremony is taking place in Grande's cemetery.
Gee, I can’t say it’s strange, I can only say it’s not a funeral process that Zach is familiar with—
"She was murdered!" Max, the wizard who had experienced the wolf battle with Benjamin in Newton, threw a 'soul-inducing grass seed' (fake) on the coffin that had been placed in the grave. Finally, he walked towards Zach, who was supervising the process, and started to bring the topic into a dark place.
Max's voice was not soft, and he did not hide his grief and anger, "And I know who killed her!"
Zach did not respond immediately, but glanced at Sibella, who was bowing her head in silence in the crowd.
This funeral is an Indian funeral. The Indian-style process being implemented today was standardized by Alice and Maya after checking a lot of information. As an extracurricular project, it not only gave Alice and Maya extra credits, but was also deliberately promoted by the central wizard family at that time. Used by the outside funeral industry to learn from.
But in Grande, it was officially used for the first time.
The deceased are people we knew.
So everyone should understand the mood of the wizard Max. Now lying in the coffin surrounded by 'soul-inducing grass seeds' is his wife.
Do you remember? This poor wizard woman who was once possessed by a wolf pack once sent her special soup to Benjamin in order to thank Grande, which continued the extraordinary senses gained by werewolves during the full moon cycle.
Zach saw no sign from Sibella that he would stop Max, so he withdrew his gaze, but he did not look at Max immediately, but instead looked at the Grand employee who was also beside him.
Grande's employees had just experienced a layoff, and several scum who did not deserve a second chance from society were sentenced by a judge and sent back to prison.
The remaining employees are not all honest people. Remember, only some of the names on the list given by Bain were involved in seriously injuring reporters.
So there is no need to be surprised. When the customers attending the funeral suddenly ran up to the owner of the funeral home and shouted important information in a sad and angry tone, the employees stretched their necks and stared here.
It turns out that Old Hank asked Zach, who had just returned, to go to work. He was not just trying to quarrel with Zach, but he was really asking Zach to prepare for this funeral. They are all your acquaintances! But he was ignored by Zach himself.
Zach's eyes finally came to Max and he pulled on Max's shoulder. Now there was no need to hide why he, the owner who had just returned to Grande, had a deep relationship with the funeral client. It was necessary just to get Max to stop talking in front of a bunch of Grand employees.
Zach winked and gestured toward the west.
Max looked back at the cemetery where the ceremony was still going on - he didn't want to miss his wife's funeral.
As you can see, in the Indian-style funeral, the farewell ceremony has already been carried out in the cemetery, and even the coffin is already at the bottom of the grave pit. The farewell ceremony now taking place takes place in the middle of the burial ceremony. There is no ordinary funeral at all. Church link in . Once the current farewell ceremony is over, the burial will be completed directly.
Zach frowned and flipped through the funeral process arrangements in his hand. He didn't see what he wanted, so he could only exert his authority as the owner of the funeral home and forcefully insert the mix and match process. "After the farewell ceremony is over, arrange for the guests to leave the cemetery, leaving only The deceased’s closest relatives and friends will then be buried.”
Sibella, who had been silent just now, jumped out and asked Zach to say that Sibella was deliberately looking for trouble - "Mr. Grande, have you made a mistake? The process is not arranged like this. Everyone present should be It’s only fitting that we can watch the ceremony and the burial.”
Zach was a little speechless, not knowing why Sibella jumped out. With Sibella's status in the Patton Indian community, she would definitely stay to watch the ceremony!
Zach's response was that he did not sugarcoat it at all. As the owner of a funeral home, he was not responsible for understanding the funeral process. "Do you all want to attend the ceremony? Well, wait for me after the farewell ceremony. I also want to attend the ceremony." No one can start until I come back!”
Since I think Sibera's jumping out is a lunatic, I don't see how Max will waste time. If it weren't for taking care of the guests' feelings, Zach would have changed the process. Due to the mood, the tone will naturally not be good.
No longer waiting for Sibella's response, she pulled Max away and walked towards the west.
"She doesn't want me to talk to you at all!" Max spoke again after leaving the funeral group.
It's also quite strange. Just now, he couldn't control the volume in front of so many people, but now he can control it. However, the tone did not change, still sad and angry, "The funeral should not have been held so quickly. She just realized that you were no longer Grande and wanted to help with the funeral as soon as possible, so she coerced your old Hank to take over the funeral. !”
Zach turned his head and looked at Max.
People will have premonitions when they hear some serious information. Kind of like an instinctive 'I shouldn't keep listening'. But Zach, “Why.”
"Do you remember the soup my wife made?"
"Remember." Zach's memory was naturally different from ours. "Benjamin's urine was green for half a month after drinking it."
Max's face twitched and he held back, "The Central Wizarding Family is asking us to hand over the witchcraft abilities we have mastered while living outside these years."
This is weird no matter which direction you look at it.
But Zach naturally thought that Andrew, his mother Mu En, created the witchcraft that reversed the biological process in order to satisfy the requirements of the alpha of the wolf pack. Seth has also shown off the thimble in his hand more than once. He has shown off his power in soul witchcraft - he once proposed to put the soul that offended Zach into a pig. Do you remember...
Therefore, what Max means is that the wizard families in the middle of the country have finally begun to value the abilities of these wizards who they had given up on and had no regard for surviving on their own in this world.
The wizards gathered around Sibella must be somewhat different from those who have received formal witchcraft training in wizard families if they can survive to this day. What the wizard family wants to collect is the creation of these people's survival.
"My wife was unwilling to hand over the soup recipe!" Max stared at Zach, "So those wizard family members were murdered!"
Don't worry about Max's conclusion, which you can tell from his expression is an extreme speculation. What Zach recalled was that when Benjamin was given the potion that could continue the werewolf's ability during the full moon cycle, Max's wife did say that this was the only thing that allowed her to survive her life of serving the wolves. Rely on it and cannot spread it outside. The pack she once belonged to wouldn't let her go.
She also explained at the time that the reason she was willing to share it with Benjamin was because Benjamin saved Max when he was in Newton, and she believed in Sibella and felt that Barton was a safe place.
But now, the wizard family in the middle wants to get her formula. Tell me, everyone, does this have anything to do with gratitude and safety
First of all, does the wizarding family that once simply gave up on these low-class wizards and only cared about the middle part of their own family deserve to be thanked? No.
Secondly, the middle, emphasis, the middle, the wizard family. Safety
Although Max's conclusion is extreme, his argument is at least valid for Zach. Zach spoke, "Kill your wife, and the wizard family in the middle will not be able to get the recipe for that soup."
Max's eyes started to turn red and he glared at Zach, "Did you see my wife's soul at the funeral?"
Zach was reminded, opened his mouth, and shook his head, "No, where is she?"
Two things -
The first thing is that when Zach was already at Sissi's place, he learned from Frank that the central wizard family and Saint Sissi had made an agreement on the coverage of the Holy Lord faith in the central part. No one would think that even the affairs in the central part have been arranged, but there is no movement on the side of the Barton Indians.
One thing Zach can confirm is that the soul of Max's wife is definitely not in hell!
The second thing, Max is directly talking about the soul. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be said to be the Earth-bound Spirit? Wizards are very clear about this kind of thing - soul is just a general term, just like the animals in our mouths, those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water are all animals. If we want to express what we really want to express in a conversation, we must be specific about which animal.
For example, how to put an elephant in the refrigerator and how to put an animal in the refrigerator are two completely different situations, you understand.
Tears welled up in Frank's red eyes...
Zach moved quickly and quickly took out the handkerchief from his pocket. "Don't cry, as a man, pay attention to your image." The handkerchief was pressed on Max's face.
Max took it, his voice already whimpering, "Her soul has already left!"
This is the reason for using general names. If you are alive, the specific species will be meaningful. If you are dead, a general name for the animal corpses is enough.
"Made by the wizard family? For a recipe?" Zach frowned. Zach has always admitted to Sibella that Sibella's plan to establish a safe haven for these low-level wizards in Barton is a good plan worthy of respect. But, is this the safe haven in Sibella’s vision
"As soon as my wife's earthbinder appeared, the wizard family forcibly detained me and took away the earthbinder. I begged Sibera, I begged and begged. When I finally came out, the wizard in the Tower of Babel The family is already trying to make my wife’s recipe! And Sibella!” Max turned back and waited for the crowd in the distance: “Already arranging my wife’s funeral!”
Zach doesn't really think there are loopholes in this kind of time advancement. He is just trying to comfort Max, "So you don't know what's going on with your wife's soul now, right? She might still be alive..."
He was directly interrupted, "She's gone!" Zach didn't believe what he said. He said it just for comfort, but he still allowed Max to do the actions he was trying to prove -
Max took out a vial from his pocket with fierce movements, similar to the one buried in the center of Grande's backyard. There was a moment of real soul-inducing grass seeds in it, "I can't summon her soul! She no longer exists!"
Zach looked at the witchcraft prop shoved in front of his face, pursed his lips, and moved his thimble.
This sounds a bit...unkind. Zach doesn't really trust Max's magical abilities...
Thimble's reply was quick, "He told the truth."
Zach could only pat Max on the shoulder now, and said in a somewhat unclear tone, "How can I help you."
Not being straightforward does not mean being insincere. Zach means it.
This is similar to how Zack, with a smile on his face, praised the society created by the Sabbat in the West to the heavens. However, he had no respect for Kent, his descendant, and evaluated the rule created by the Sabbat as a joke of the times. .
On the surface, Zak also showed a hint of sincere support for Sibella to obtain assistance and establish a safe haven for wizards. But in her heart, she felt that Sibera was luring wolves into the house, causing harm to wizards like Max.
This is truly wanting to help.
It's not straightforward, it's because Zach is not arrogant enough to think that he can do anything against the wizard family in the middle. Coupled with the unavoidable factor of Alice, it is impossible for Zach to do anything excessive to the wizard family.
Max grabbed Zach and thrust his face into Zach's face, "Zach! I won't let you do anything for me! I don't deserve it!"
To be honest, if you show such thoroughness and self-consciousness, you don't need to use this embarrassing posture.
But right away, it came in handy—
"I can only tell you, for the vampires! For yourself! For your Toledo clan! You have to guard against the wizard family!"
"Why." Zach asked without stopping this weird posture.
"Sibella is still lucky, thinking that the wizard family will not attack the Toledo vampires who have been helping the wizards! But I know! I can see the black souls of those family wizards better than Sibella! They will only Take care of yourself!”
Zach agreed that Sibera herself was a powerful wizard, and her location determined that she saw different scenes from wizards like Max. If Sibella could occasionally talk to the wizard family and reach a consensus, then Max should be the kind of person who is always at a low level, looking up at the wizard family's butt. Quotes mean admiration without respect.
What Zach couldn't decide yet was Wes' mention of vampires. Zach knows that the Wizard family and the Sabbat are bound to confront each other, but, hey, we know that Zach knows that everyone in Barton, except for the Sabbat vampires from Allen Funeral, all know that Zach did not put his Tori Think of it more like a Sabbat vampire, right
Wes continued. When someone started walking towards the cemetery, he lowered his voice again and said to Zach, "Don't let the wizard family introduce the republican aliens into the federation! If you can't stop it, do it while Grande still has yours." People (Republic ghosts, Mo) are in the Republic, arm your Toledo clan with the weapons of the Republic!"
"The farewell ceremony is over." The visitor was Sibella, who was still far away, so she couldn't wait to interrupt the conversation between Zach and Max with her voice, "Don't keep everyone waiting, Mr. Grande."
Zach glanced at Sibera in the distance expressionlessly, and hugged Max expressionlessly, "Let's go back." (To be continued)
