Chapter 165 Funeral

Although the position of City Guard Brigade Captain has successfully fallen into the hands of the Enlightened Faction, in order to prevent the currently bedridden Emperor Prieter from withdrawing his order, Xia Lin still did not show up for the time being, and Wyatt took care of the industrial park. Harper is in charge of the research institute, and he doesn't need to deal with other affairs for the time being.

During this period of time, the news of his death also spread to the industrial parks and even the slums through the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce. When the employees of countless industrial parks heard that such a good boss was assassinated to death by an evil mage, they were all overwhelmed. Face of shock and sadness.

On the 24th, the Karl family held a funeral in the Holy Church Church in the West District. Xia Lin stayed in the Karl Research Institute with some annoyance and anxiety, watching Harper put on a black mage robe and a black armband, and was about to set off to attend his funeral. The funeral felt a little weird.

"Don't let your mouth slip when you're comforting my family. Also, put on a sad expression and don't reveal your secrets!"

Xia Lin once again carefully thought about his own suspended animation plan, and after finding that there were not too many loopholes, he warned Harper.

"Don't worry! Speaking of which, if you keep feigning death, what should you do after the institute?"

In the bathroom attached to the researcher's dormitory, Harper cleaned his whole body with a cleansing technique, and then asked Xia Lin.

"It won't be too long. I believe it will take less than a week for everything to settle."

Xia Lin replied with a serious expression. According to his speculation, the New Year's dinner to be held in the palace on the [-]th should be the best time for Emperor Pulit to announce the appointment of the crown prince.

Therefore, he initially decided to launch a coup plan on that day, using the alliance's new army, city guards, palace guards, and royal magic guards to complete the control of Helgana.

Just at that time, the new army's two-week plan has also been implemented, and it should have a certain combat effectiveness.

"Then I'm relieved, I'm going first!"

Seeing that Xia Lin was confident about this, Harper nodded, showing a sad expression as Xia Lin told him. He was ready to attend the funeral of his friend sitting next to him, and then opened the door to go out of the dormitory go.

The researchers at the Carl Research Institute did not meet the quota, so there were many vacant rooms in the researcher's dormitory, and Xia Lin had been staying here to avoid people's eyes and ears.

There are two people he can trust here. The first is naturally Harper Cole, a good friend, and the second is Sophia Hearst. The terms of the elemental oath she signed with Xia Lin are not to be disclosed. All Xia Lin's secrets, at this time, Xia Lin can also trust her for this reason.

For Charlene, having a funeral while alive was a novel experience; for Harper, attending the funeral of a friend who was not dead felt odd.

The news of Xia Lin's death has been spread to the inside of the Institute through the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce. The researchers, security personnel and cleaning personnel along the way are all silent, and many of them have black linen bought from textile factories on their left arms. Dai Zi, apart from feeling sad about Xia Lin's death, they probably also felt confused and uneasy about their future.

After all, unlike other institutions under Xia Lin's name, the Carl Research Institute is completely managed by Xia Lin himself, and the funds of the institute are completely dependent on Xia Lin himself. After Xia Lin's death, they naturally don't know what to do in the future.

Originally, Luna and many researchers also wanted to attend Xia Lin's funeral, but Harper, the deputy director, rejected their proposal on the grounds of the institute's confidentiality regulations.

"What a blessing!"

Along the way to the dock of the R&D center and boarded the scheduled ship, Harper stood at the front of the deck looking at the open river, feeling the oncoming river wind, and suddenly said thoughtfully.

Harper had heard the scene of his assassination described by Xia Lin, and knew that if Xia Lin hadn't been witty, the funeral he attended today might not be a fake funeral, and he might be as restless and confused as the employees along the way .

Facing the assassination by a four-ring mage from the dark, Harper thought that even if he was placed in Xia Lin's position with the same scroll and potion on him, he would have no way to escape.

When I disembarked at the wharf of Xinglan Industrial Park, everything was the same as before. The steel-clad wooden rails that were still under construction had already extended 500 meters.

Under the leadership of the construction team leader, the workers removed the wooden rails covered with steel sheets from the flatbed truck, erected them on the leveled gravel foundation, and then used heavy hammers to fix the rails next to the rails. Iron nails are driven into a solid foundation.

The flatbed trucks are constantly coming and going on the track that has been built, looking orderly, but Harper noticed that today's workers are all tied with gray or black cloth strips on their arms, obviously they are also Use your own way to commemorate Xia Lin, a good boss who changed their lives.

"Is this what you want to achieve, Xia Lin?"

Harper stopped by the pier for a while, then boarded the carriage arranged by Wyatt and headed for the church where the funeral was held.

On the road that was about to reach the church, from a distance he saw carriages parked on both sides of the road painted with various aristocratic coats of arms. A little further on, there was a group of people wearing blue-gray cotton uniforms issued by the industrial park, bringing the old and the young. employees from the industrial park.

Black and gray linen strips were also tied on their left arms. Among them were middle-aged men with white hair showing at the sideburns, half-grown young men whose mouths had just grown fluff, and some with weather-beaten faces and thin hands. The woman with thick bones and an ill-fitting coarse cotton jacket looked a bit like an ignorant child wearing a cotton sleeve.

"This is……"

Harper called the groom to stop the carriage, got out of the carriage in surprise, and looked at these employees who were obviously from the slums.

"Master Master, you are going to attend Boss Xia Lin's funeral, right? Please go this way!"

Seeing Harper with black gauze pinned to his left arm, a man in the crowd stepped forward and beckoned Harper to move forward.

As the two moved forward, the dense crowd silently parted a road, which made Harper's heart full of shock, and couldn't help asking the man who led the way for him:
"Are you employees of the industrial park? Why are you gathering here? Are you not working today?"

"Master Master, we are all here to attend Boss Xia Lin's funeral. He gave us a job that will allow us to support our own families and allow us mud monkeys to have a dignity, so we all want to send him off. a ride.

Today, each factory in the industrial park has arranged a rotation. I am a team leader of the sugar factory. We will come here to express our condolences to Boss Xia Lin. We will go back in the afternoon and another group of people will come over.

This is the only thing we can do to repay Boss Xia Lin. "

The man said with a sad expression.
