Chapter 510 State Funeral
"Colonel Blood" Heilman looked at the old man lying quietly on the ground in front of him who had lost his breath, and couldn't help but look slightly moved.
锵——
He slowly put his gem cross sword back into the scabbard, then tossed his windbreaker, put one arm on his chest, and silently saluted the old man's body.
This move has nothing to do with one's position, it is simply a respect for the strong... It is also a heartfelt respect for the former companions who died heroically in battle and whose will was so tenacious that even if they were in the hostile camp, they would still be respected from the bottom of their hearts.
After a fierce battle, the entire square was in chaos. The originally flat stone floor was badly damaged, leaving many sword marks, pits, and even deep and long ravines.
At the edge of the square, the swarming federal troops looked at each other speechlessly. The senior officers' Adam's apples rolled and they silently took off their berets. They imitated the "bloody colonel" and looked at the dead white-haired man from a distance. The old man salutes.
The scene was silent.
Even the "shoeless lady" who was seriously injured and covering her broken arm couldn't help holding her breath when she saw this scene.
Pala Celsus…
The chairman of the Bremen Empire, the chief staff of Caesar's head of state, the greatest alchemist of the current era, the pinnacle of the mysterious field...
Finally, the curtain of his life came to an end.
This man's legendary experience can be called an epic masterpiece, spanning more than three hundred years of life, almost witnessing the end of the Dark Ages in the Middle Ages and the advent of a new era.
It also witnessed the establishment, development and growth of the Bremen Empire, and even witnessed the birth of many Sichen.
But just today, just now...
He closed his eyes forever.
Putting aside positions and camps, putting aside fighting and hatred for the time being, even the "lady without shoes" could not help but respect such a strong man from the bottom of her heart.
At this time.
Heilman finished saluting.
He stepped forward and was about to pick up Para's sword named "Philosopher's Sword" as a trophy.
But the next moment.
Heilman's movements stopped.
Because he noticed two terrifying auras suddenly appearing, locking him tightly.
If you act rashly, you will be struck by thunder.
“Huh…”
Hellman chuckled and slowly raised his head.
I saw two figures appearing on the left and right of Parra's body.
One person was wearing a short hat with a cocked brim, a high-collared leather windbreaker, and an exquisite silver-plated spring revolver on his waist.
The other man was wearing a loose white woolen fur robe, with short black hair, a thin face, and extremely deep eyes.
“Long time no see, Carl Adams.”
Hellman spoke slowly.
The two people who appeared were the "Skull Melting Knight" and the "Silent Knight" who were in the "Healing Knights" in the past, and were known as the four knight captains with him.
"Herman, Parra's body and sword, we will bring them back to the empire and to my king..."
Karl held the brim of his hat with one hand and gently held it with the other. On the spring revolver at his waist, he said calmly.
“If you want to rob, we will fight with you to the end.”
"Oh, that's right." Hellman was silent for a few seconds, then nodded with a smile. "Pala was nearing the end of his life, and before he died, he came to Owena to make a big fuss. William could not have known... and his body and sword contained the secret of the 'Philosopher's Stone', and it was impossible for him to give it away. Give it to us for study."
"You really took advantage of it."
"So, do you want to test whether my gun is faster or your sword?"
Karl still kept the action of holding his hat and gun, as if he could take action at any time.
The man in white robe on the side, who had never spoken a word, also took out a square-headed hammer.
He is showing his attitude through actions.
"You two are still the same as before. Although you don't say much, you are more serious about what you do than anyone else."
Heilman shook his head.
"I have been seriously injured. It is impossible to stop you... As for the other people present, they do not pose any threat to you."
said As he looked, he grinned.
"However, it is not that easy for you to take away Pala and the 'Philosopher's Sword' smoothly."
"Huh?" Karl frowned.
He and Adams suddenly looked behind Hellman, where a large piece of yellow sand filled the air.
The yellow sand formed a huge whirlpool.
Three black dog heads, as big as a house, slowly poked out from the whirlpool.
The dog's head has a ferocious appearance, with hollow eyes and no eyes. When it grins, it reveals a mouth full of jagged fangs.
Karl and Adams recognized at a glance that this was the manifestation of the power of the "Blind General" in the material world... to be precise, it was his other self in the world, the one named Leonidas The power of the Federal Speaker.
The two looked solemn.
Facing Si Chen and me, the pressure is naturally great.
Even if the other party didn't show up and just released the black dog casually, the two of them still had to deal with it with great vigor.
Each of the three dog heads shook their heads, roaring like thunder from their throats. The sound of dogs barking made the hearts of everyone present stop for a moment, and even the clouds above the square condensed.
It is obviously noon, but the sky is dark.
A terrifying momentum descended and enveloped the entire place.
The troops around the square were stunned and shocked by the scene before them.
The pupils of the "shoeless lady" shrank sharply.
"Speaker Leonidas..."
She murmured, her heart full of awe.
Karl took a deep breath and took out a silver coin. This silver coin has a wreath cross on one side and a skull on the other.
He was planning to flip the coin with just a flick of his finger. No matter which side the silver coin falls on, his combat power will be significantly improved... This is the legal power of His "ferryman".
But at this moment.
A black feather suddenly fell.
Floated into Karl's hands.
He was startled.
When Carl and Adams noticed it, they looked up and saw black feathers falling from the sky.
"It was my king who took action..."
Karl murmured while bathing in the rain of black feathers.
Suddenly.
“Bah——”
A black bird that was even larger than a large fighter jet flew across the sky, making a loud cry.
The sound of air explosions rumbled, and the crowd below felt the ground shaking, and they couldn't help but look up.
I saw only a huge black shadow passing by, and the shadow covered the square.
"Colonel Blood" Hellman was also startled.
The three black dogs behind him roared in fear and became extremely irritable.
At this moment.
boom! !
A black pillar with a diameter of ten meters fell from the sky and suddenly hit the dog's head!
The horrific explosion set off huge waves of dust!
The whole square trembled!
Boom boom boom! ! !
Only Karl, Adams and Hellman present could see it clearly, and even the "shoeless lady" could only see it vaguely——
The black column was clearly a condensation of tens of thousands of black feathers. , as if countless sharp knives were gathered together, landing and striking at an invisible high speed.
Three black dog heads, the one in the middle was instantly torn into pieces and turned into yellow sand and blood foam all over the sky!
“Let’s go!” Karl made a quick decision and shouted in a deep voice.
He put away the silver coins, bent down and picked up Parra's body. Adams on the side reacted very quickly and reached out to grab the "Philosopher's Sword" away.
The two took a step back and disappeared in an instant.
Almost the next second.
Boom! ! !
A dog head suddenly jumped forward, opened its ferocious mouth, and hit them where they were originally.
Like a bombardment, the square trembled again.
The terrible dust even formed a small mushroom cloud, rising into the sky.
“Ah!”
Screams and exclamations sounded.
The federal army was on its back, and the five or six tanks that were closer were like toys. They were tossed by the shock wave, rolled over on the ground, and made a rumble.
Chaos and unrest continued for several minutes.
Wait until the dust gradually dissipates.
The gasps of consternation and shock came one after another, because only then did everyone see that one-third of the square had become a ruin-like pit.
The dog's head, the giant eagle, Parra's body and sword, and the two strange men who suddenly appeared all disappeared.
Left "Colonel Blood" Hellman stood on the edge of the pit with a gloomy expression.
“Would the head of the empire rather pay the price than take a long-distance action to cover the retreat of Karl and Adams... It’s a pity that Parra’s body and sword were not left behind.”
…
…
A few days later.
Dawn Calendar, July 1, 1927 AD.
The coming of July, which symbolizes hope and order.
But the entire Bremen Empire was plunged into great sorrow.
Mr. Pala Celsus, former Secretary-General of the House of Lords, Palace Scholar, and Chief Staff Officer of the Square Palace, passed away and was given a state funeral.
The general public does not know about his mysterious identity as Chairman and Alchemist. However, his identity as a medical scientist named "Bertolet" was revealed, and countless people were shocked, admired and regretted it.
The Sifang Palace announced to the outside world that Mr. Parra died in the line of duty while carrying out a secret operation against the Federation, but he also successfully destroyed Owena's attempt to use the "Final Explosion" strike again.
This is a heroic act.
He sacrificed himself in exchange for the safety of the empire.
Parra's death not only caused heated discussions among all walks of life in Bremen, but also caused a sensation in the mysterious field.
A peak human being, a great alchemist across the ages, has fallen...
Perhaps the general public does not know this, but high-level officials, top dignitaries, and secret societies of various countries do. Through various channels, the truth was obtained——
Pala Celsus went to the Federation alone, and with one man and one sword, turned its capital Jacobin upside down!
In the General Assembly of the Owina Federation, all twelve chairpersons were killed, more than 100 people were killed in 500 seats, and more than 300 people were seriously injured. The entire upper level of the federation was almost paralyzed.
Not only that, Parra also fought one against four, severely injuring "Colonel Blood" Biwo and "Lady Without Shoes", and killing "Diva" and "Singer" on the spot.
Using mysterious and treacherous means, he cut a rift across a distance of more than ten kilometers and attacked and killed two ascended ones from the "Elephant Guard Group".
A legendary achievement!
The name "White Sage" is revered by mystics all over the world. But this title will always be sealed together with his deeds.
In the Esoteric Cult "Midnight Rose", the leader "Mei Weng" held a mourning meeting specifically for Pala.
Even the leaders and key members of the "Hermitage of the Stars" and the "Spiritual Society" also participated.
Pala’s many writings and theories throughout his life had a profound impact on this group of mystics who studied knowledge.
The death of the master made them feel sorry.
