Rise In Calradia

Chapter 365: : Adopted Son

The latest website: "Today, our brother, the father of three children, the respected Leiland and his wife, our sister Edrissa has left us and will go to the Palace of the Most High. They are. His life is glorious. When the Father sees them, we hope that they will pass judgment together and gain eternal life outside the world."

The surviving priest with a broken arm in the castle drew a few strokes on his chest with his hand under the support of others, and then, under the witness of the people, the Earl of Leyland, who had been put on the traditional Rhodok noble dress, and Mrs. Edrissa was put together in a coffin that the carpenters spent a day putting together the remaining good wood. The survivors of Fort Garmisch gathered at the ancestral cemetery of the Leyland family. In the past 100 years, all members of the Leyland family have slept here, and the Earl of Leyland and his wife , And was buried here decently by their opponents.

In the sound of the elegy, Byron, who had been silent for a long time, patted the shoulders of the children beside him, and sighed helplessly.

"This afternoon, your brother will be buried next to your parents, and your sister will be buried on the other side. Do you need a rest?"

Byron didn’t know how much impact this scene had on a seven-year-old kid, but he still let Allen witness all of this with his own eyes. Although it might bring a heavy psychological shadow to him, when his sister’s After the body was found, Byron knew that the child must understand his situation. In this era, in such a situation, he must be strong, otherwise the Leyland family will completely become a dust of history.

Allen shook his head vigorously, and stretched out his hand to rub his red eyes. This naughty little guy is really tenacious. He dared to run to a place where no one was in the middle of the night to play, and then used it alone in that tall tower. Do everything in your little head to keep yourself alive. And now, he is still standing here, witnessing with his own eyes all his relatives leaving him.

Byron sighed and gently held Little Allen tightly in his arms. Although the opponent struggled a few times at the beginning, after a few seconds, he hugged Byron's waist tightly and burst into tears.

This scene was seen by everyone around him. Whether it was Byron’s soldiers or the local people of Gamizi, they all saw that Gamizi’s heir was now in Byron’s arms, and they all understood. , Byron did not choose to dispose of the last child that affected his acquisition of Fort Garmizier before others found out. Naturally, he will not later, otherwise everyone will know who did this thing.

And little Allen, just as he insisted, after crying a lot and sleeping soundly for an afternoon, he attended the funeral of his elder brother and sister. This time, he did not continue to hold on, crying from the beginning to the end. At the end, but when the elegy stopped, the child never left even a single tear. He just wandered around the cemetery in a daze, passed by his ancestor's grave, and finally sat in front of his mother's tombstone, stroking his mother's name until the sky was dark. In the process, Byron was always next to him, and even whispered to him about the deeds of his glorious parents and older ancestors.

"Ellen, I will help you rebuild your home, but before that, you are going to live with me in Amila, do you understand?"

During Byron's questioning, Little Allen gave him a confused look and nodded gently.

..........

In the next two days, Byron wore troops around Gamizi, and the tragedy everywhere was numb. The formerly wealthy Gamizi now looks more like a huge cemetery, and It is the kind that is the most lifeless and the most unwilling to stay.

According to preliminary estimates by Byron’s clerks, there may be more than 30,000 dead in the Gamizi area, which is equivalent to more than one-third of the total population of the entire area. The number of injured and displaced persons is even more numerous. The eastern part of Rhodok is now full of ruins. Even Byron, who has retained most of his power, feels powerless looking at the inexhaustible wreck. He doesn’t know how long it will be before he can rebuild the scene, but if As it is now, it will be out of play for at least ten years. Buildings can be rebuilt, roads can be repaired, but the population will not recover easily.

But such a tragic situation also made Byron a little relieved. He was worried that Earl Leyland would attack him before, but now the Leyland family is gone. Before he came to Gamizi, he worried that King Griffith would use this opportunity to stabb him and take advantage of their weakness to take this area, but based on the existing intelligence and speculation, Jelkala’s loss would only be greater. , A densely populated city will only suffer more severe losses in the earthquake, even if it is the lord of the king, it is impossible to have any spare power. Byron even considered whether to seize this opportunity to cross the mountains and go to Jelkala to do things, but the territory is like this, even if it can conquer the city, Byron can't defend it. Maybe he can attract some refugees and population, but the timing is not right now.

After clarifying the current situation in the Gamizi area, Byron has nothing to do. Now everyone is affected by disasters, and he cannot concentrate on rescue. Byron can only leave the rescue team, doctors and some soldiers to maintain order. , Rescue supplies and... search for treasures. Yes, even if the earthquake destroyed everything in front of you, the earthquake still failed to destroy the entire Calradia and the civilized society on this continent. Gold and silver are still the last word. Byron will take away all the valuables that are convenient to take away. Goods, which can be used to replace them with various urgently needed materials and reconstruction materials and labor costs in the future.

After Gamizi was asked to save himself ~www.readwn.com~ Byron set off and returned, but when he left, Byron promised in front of the people of Gamizi that he would bring more supplies. To save their lives. Because of this, these tired refugees sent Byron a full five miles away.

Of course, Byron took Alan with him, this poor child had no family, and his character really moved Byron. Rarely, he gave up the idea of ​​profit-seeking, and did not treat this kid as a competitor or a political tool that facilitated him to control Garmizi (although it was really useful). He was going to adopt him and raise him as an adult, just like himself. Like that of his children. If conditions permit, he even wants Allen to inherit his territory (so that no king can take the castle away from Byron).

And when Byron returned, he took the little Allen to meet Nelda for the first time, and talked in detail about his experience and Allen's experience.

"Then keep him, dear." After Nelda kissed Byron's forehead, he leaned down and kissed little Allen's cheek softly. The little guy was a little at a loss, but was still held by the two of them. inside.

"From today, we are a family, Ellen, I will do my best to take care of you as an adult. I swear to your parents who are already in heaven in the name of my parents."
