Standing in the breeze with Dracula in his arms, quietly listening to Tesla put an end to everything:
"He is always active on the front line of fighting against weirdness."
"His reputation inspires reverence among humans and fear among weirdos."
"He protects us from bad luck."
"He passed down hope to us."
"Even though he has left us, he is always by our side."
People stood in a semicircle on the lawn in front of the tombstone, and an oak coffin lay quietly in the grave pit. The exorcists received instructions from Tesla, waved their shovels, pushed the soil into the grave pit, and gradually buried the oak coffin.
A few minutes later, a low hill appeared in front of the standing people.
They came forward one after another and laid down the flowers they had picked from the garden of the Marsh Mother.
The mother of the swamp crouched in her insect body, placed flowers on the mound, and stared at the tombstone with sad eyes: "This world cannot live without you."
The twisted shadow quietly puts down the flower.
Elena bent down and placed the flowers on the mound, and said softly: "Thank you."
Ophelia put down the withered flower sadly: "I didn't wait until the day you let me put on the wedding dress."
Pusius held the flower in his mouth and placed it in front of the mound, sobbing sadly.
Hades put down the flowers and made the biggest concession he could in a complicated and heart-wrenching way: "From now on, I only need to pay half of my salary to the Land of Light..."
Chrissy lifted up her cloak, revealing a face as beautiful as the mother of the swamp, and placed flowers under the light of the sun shining through the broken clouds.
Claire didn't dare to step forward, so the undead man placed the flowers with broken roots on the mound for her.
Margaret quietly put down the flowers she had dyed white.
Valendo put down himself and the two flowers he presented to Mayor Mateus.
Dracula, who was picked up by the knight, was twirling a red rose in the oil painting, respectful and elegant: "To the only man I respect."
Thousands of knights and exorcists came one after another, and the barren mounds were gradually filled with flowers.
They observed another moment of silence in front of the tomb, then turned and left.
Claire followed her mother and left. Not far away, she stopped and looked back.
[R.I.P]
[Lu Li]
[The Eternal Exorcist is buried here]
When people left the cemetery, they saw that many residents were still gathered outside and refused to leave.
"I want to take another look at Mr. Exorcist..." Yin Fulin, who was not qualified to attend the funeral, prayed.
"This is only a cenotaph," said the Swamp Mother to her.
"I know……"
The Mother of the Swamp nodded and allowed Yin Fulin and the residents surrounding the cemetery to mourn Lu Li.
The whole land of light, or the whole human world, is saddened by this news.
People wearing black dresses or skirts are invited by the Swamp Mother to go to her villa.
…
"I saw with my own eyes that his body and soul were annihilated in the aftermath of terror."
At the Mother of the Swamp's tea party, people who had not yet taken off their solemn attire gathered in front of an increasingly larger round table.
Claire once again told everything that happened that day. Lu Li sacrificed himself to activate the alchemy tower, and Claire led the souls and men back.
"But the Lord of Dreams said that Lu Li will come back." Ophelia believed in the Everlasting Dreamer, or the good news represented by the Everlasting Dreamer: "He also said before that Lu Li would not have a bad ending..."
"Lu Li died once, but twenty years later he came to Shadow Swamp and appeared in front of me again, never aging... Maybe it will be the same this time." Swamp Mother said.
"It's been too long," Elena said.
Although it is not difficult for them at the tea party to survive until that day, only Ophelia needs to restrain her connection with the other world.
But the world will not remain unchanged, and no one knows when disaster will strike.
Before Lu Li returns, they can only cover up the news that he is still alive.
"My garden..."
The mother of the swamp anxiously swept over the flower beds that were no longer in bloom, leaving only greenery and flower bags.
"Can we still control Midnight City?" Twisted Shadow asked Chris.
"It's possible, but there's no point. Midnight City is just an empty shell now, and we don't have flesh and blood to fill the inside." Chris put on the hood of her robe: "And I don't think you will abandon this place and migrate there."
"It's us." Swamp Mother corrected her, "Can we bring things from Midnight City, such as the Alchemy Tower?"
"If we want to get the relics from Midnight City, we have to clean it up first, but if we can clean up Midnight City, we won't need the relics anymore."
Moreover, the Alchemy Tower can also check the spread of swamps. Even though Midnight City has disappeared, the old sewers have taken over part of Midnight City's responsibility to limit the swamps.
If the Earth dweller trading company gets involved in the land of light, the news that the guardians of the realm have been solved by the Earth dwellers will soon appear in the old sewers.
The lawful monsters of the old sewers will not tolerate a traitor among them.
"Do you know how to build an alchemy tower?"
"I can try." Chris replied.
The Swamp Mother noticed that Claire's depression was different from the one in the story, so she asked her what was wrong.
"She hasn't recovered her memory yet, and she's blaming herself for Lu Li's death," Chris said.
Swamp Mother found some topics and returned to the essence of the tea party.
"Why are they all women?"
During this period, Chris noticed that the tea party was all women.
"I can call Tesla over."
Chrissy didn't mean it this way, but the Swamp Mother had already called Tesla.
Tesla was also one of the insiders and agreed to hide the information: "People have been led by Lu Li for too long. It's time for them to move forward alone."
And he hoped that calling Lu Li the only exorcist would sound much better than two exorcists.
Hades does not count.
After Lu Li gave "exorcist" a new meaning, Tesla didn't think that guy was an exorcist. No matter he was before or now, including the exorcists who had graduated from the apprenticeship, they didn't think he was worthy now.
Earn the identity of "Exorcist".
Because of Tesla's participation, the tea party subsequently became the next arrangement of the Land of Light.
Chris promised: "I will restore the occultism in the Land of Light to the level of Midnight City as soon as possible."
"We not only need to restore, but we also need to integrate it with science." said the Swamp Mother.
"I've seen Lu Li's plan to stay in the cabin, and I know what to do."
At the end of the tea party, Swamp Mother said to everyone: "I hope we can avoid conflicts."
"I don't want to see the Land of Light fall into strife and disappoint Lu Li when he returns."
