In the early morning, when the sky was just getting bright, the lavender color in the night sky had not completely faded, the morning star was still hanging stubbornly in the sky, and a light mist filled the outside of Ruit City.
A black magic caravan passed through the woods, and Surdak was sitting in the car.
This magic caravan without a family emblem has been pasted by people from the city hall with the emblem representing the city hall on the outside of the car. In this way, this magic caravan has become very recognizable. No matter where it goes, the nobles
Everyone will know that Archon Suldak is here.
Surdak didn't care about such small things. He walked out of the magic caravan wearing a black dress. Siya also wore a dark and simple long skirt and sat opposite Surdak.
Passing through a red pine forest, we came to a slope outside the city. This is the territory of the Benton family, and the woodland on the hillside is the Benton family cemetery.
Dozens of magic caravans have gathered in the open space below the hillside, and some nobles have gathered below the hillside.
Many people walked up the stone steps that extended to the middle of the mountain. Several young people from the Benton family were at the foot of the mountain beside the stone steps, greeting the nobles who came to mourn the old earl.
Some nobles walked along the stone steps toward the cemetery halfway up the mountain. Many nobles were already standing on the long stone steps.
Everyone was standing on both sides of the stone steps, some were whispering and chatting, while others were standing silently.
Only then did Suldak notice that the coffin of old Earl Benton was stopped at the starting point of the stone steps, and the Minister of Logistics, Earl Benton, was standing next to the coffin, standing with Minister Allen.
They were three nobles with badges of honor on their chests, and they looked very natural when chatting.
It seemed that he was not sad because of the departure of old Earl Benton, and he continued to make gestures with his hands while chatting.
The Benton family should be considered a big family in Ruitt City, with a large number of family members. However, there have not been any outstanding figures in these Benton families in recent years. Minister Allen Benton is the first in line of the Benton family.
Heir, but only a first-class earl.
Suldak walked out of the carriage and immediately walked towards Alan Benton.
The nobles who were chatting just now stopped talking and looked at Surdak who came down from the magic caravan. When Surdak passed by them, the nobles began to give false greetings to please Zhong.
With a hint of caution.
The emcee at the funeral did not let Surdak come to the coffin, but led him to the cemetery on the hillside.
When Suldak reached the entrance of the cemetery, the sound of "dang dang dang" bells came from the foot of the mountain. Suldak's eyesight was very sharp, and he suddenly saw the coffin bearers starting to carry the coffin at the foot of the mountain.
The gorgeous coffin slowly walked up the steps.
The nobles standing on both sides of the steps became serious and stopped talking.
Suldak saw that the Benton family all wore family crests on their chests, and a large group of people stood at the entrance to the cemetery, including many female relatives.
The master of ceremonies introduced to Suldak that the women standing at the front of the crowd were all the wives of old Benton.
When Surdak saw the three old ladies, he didn't think it was anything.
When he saw that the other women in the front row looked very young, he realized that the old Earl Benton really knew how to enjoy life...
Among the many wives of Old Earl Benton, there is actually a wife with light makeup on her face. Under the black dress and scarf, her face looks a bit charming, and her body is extremely hot. It gives people the first impression.
Like a ripe peach.
Surdak stood at the highest point of the steps, and his position was particularly conspicuous.
Looking away from the woman, the woman seemed to feel Suldak's gaze. She boldly raised her head and looked at Surdak, with even a hint of teasing in her eyes.
Surdak glanced behind him and realized that among the wives of old Earl Benton, the youngest woman's eyes were very pure and green, and there was sadness in her eyes.
Suldak withdrew his gaze and waited quietly for the coffin to be carried to the cemetery by Minister Allen and others.
When the coffin was carried to the cemetery, the children of the Benton family walked in surrounded by the coffin. Suldak found that even Minister Allen Benton did not have any sad expression in his eyes, especially the young nobles.
.
Among the crowd, only the young wife waiting at the back was extremely pale, looking very sad, and gained the sympathy of many nobles.
Someone has already dug the grave in the cemetery and put the coffin into the pit. The nobles who came to mourn each held a bouquet of flowers, walked around the coffin that had not been covered with soil, and finally put the coffin in their hands.
Flowers were placed on the coffin, and due to the large number of people, it didn't take long for the coffin to be covered with golden sunflowers.
Surdak waited aside, and after everyone circled around the coffin, they gathered again in front of the tomb.
At this time, the master of ceremonies asked Suldak to come forward and deliver a condolence speech to Earl Benton.
Suldak was not polite and walked to the front happily. Under the gaze of a group of nobles and members of the Benton family, he said to everyone:
"I know that he is an earl with outstanding military exploits. When he was young, he owned an army of lords with outstanding military exploits. He has always been the pride of the Benton family and the greatest glory of the Benton family. Now he
He finally finished his glorious life, and now he lies peacefully in this cemetery, living here with the ancestors of the Benton family..."
In fact, Suldak was not familiar with the old Earl of Benton, but his condolence speech made it impossible to find anything wrong with him.
Finally, Alan Benton also stood up and said something, and the whole funeral was completed after most of the breakfast.
Looking at the pieces of soil being backfilled into the grave, Suldak realized that the funeral was about to end. He exhaled slightly and prepared to chat with the Minister of Logistics, Earl Alan Benton, after it was over.
At this moment, a faint smell of jasmine perfume spread into Suldak's nose, and the charming-faced Mrs. Benton actually boldly approached Surdak. If it weren't for Samira,
Stopping, Mrs. Benton seemed to be about to collide with Suldak.
"Lord Consul Suldak, can I treat you to a cup of afternoon tea?" the charming-looking Mrs. Benton asked Suldak.
Suldak turned his head and glanced at Siya, who immediately opened the notebook and said in a pretentious manner: "You have to go to Yetsipias Manor later..."
"I can't seem to find any free time, sorry!" Suldak turned to Mrs. Benton and said regretfully.
