In that desolate square, the music playing from the speakers flowed slowly, carrying a deep sense of sorrow. The song seemed a bit harsh to Agamemnon's ears, distorted by the old speakers, but it successfully immersed the townspeople in a mood of mourning and reminiscence.
On the stage, Sheriff William stood, his eyes scanning the townspeople below. When his gaze happened to fall on Agamemnon, he nodded in acknowledgment, and Agamemnon returned the nod. In this moment, without the need for words, the exchange of their gazes was enough to express their mutual respect and gratitude.
Before long, Mayor Eldrick hurried over. He walked up to the black and white photo of The Tesnan Couple and gently placed a flower on it. His actions were respectful and solemn, with a deep sorrow on his face. Then, the mayor cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Dear citizens of Daiyi town, last night, our town experienced a tragic incident. An evil creature infiltrated the home of one of our townspeople, not only cruelly taking the lives of The Tesnan Couple but also kidnapping their only child, Kobold." The mayor's voice was filled with grief and heaviness.
The townspeople in the square listened to these words, their faces showing shock and sadness. The tragedy cast a dark shadow over everyone's hearts, enveloping the entire square in silence and sorrow.
Agamemnon stood in the crowd, silently listening to the mayor's words, feeling a weight in his heart. Despite his efforts to fight and protect the town, he couldn't completely prevent such a tragedy from happening. He knew deeply that as a Half Blood, it was an unavoidable reality to live in a world full of monsters and danger.
As the mayor's words continued to echo in the square, his voice carried a hint of determination: "Fortunately, our Kobold has been successfully rescued by Sheriff William and our hired Half Blood. The creature threatening our town has also been vanquished by the brave Half Blood."
Upon hearing this news, the townspeople in the square began to discuss in hushed tones, gradually showing a sense of relief and gratitude on their faces. Some began to clap and cheer, with someone loudly exclaiming, "Well done, Sheriff William!" These voices seemed to bring a hint of comfort to the heavy atmosphere.
At this moment, Sheriff William walked slowly to the side of the mayor, his face showing a hint of seriousness and confidence. He addressed the townspeople, saying, "The threat of the monster has been successfully eliminated under my watch. Please rest assured, there is no need to panic anymore." William's voice was firm and calm, giving a strong sense of security.
Agamemnon stood quietly in the crowd, listening to William's words. He knew that while his actions were successful, it was just a small victory in this dangerous world. In the square of Daiyi town, the gentle glow of the sunset softly spread over the crowd, adding a touch of tenderness to the mourning event. The mayor stood on the makeshift podium, his voice deep and solemn, each word carrying a profound sense of mourning and hope for the future.
"Bolt's life and their family's issues will be my responsibility," the mayor's voice echoed in the quiet air, each word filled with a sense of duty and compassion. His words not only revealed respect for the lives lost but also showed care for the living.
Upon hearing these words, the townspeople in the square began to applaud and show their support. Their expressions carried mourning for the tragedy and also displayed trust in the mayor and hope for Bolt's future.
The mayor then deeply clasped his hands, lowered his head, and slowly said, "Let us observe a moment of silence for The Tesnan Couple and offer our blessings." Following his lead, the crowd in the square bowed their heads and began to silently pray, offering their final respects and blessings to the unfortunate couple who had passed away.
The pastor standing at the front raised his hands and began reciting mourning scriptures. His voice was warm and comforting, every word filled with memories of the past and prayers for the future.
As the pastor's prayer gradually faded away, the atmosphere in the square gradually calmed down. The townspeople who had not yet laid flowers stepped forward, holding fresh flowers in their hands, and slowly walked to the memorial of the the Tesnan family, placing the flowers down to express their mourning and respect. Each flower seemed to carry a heavy story, quietly telling the fragility of life and the warmth of humanity.
At this moment, the voice of the mayor once again resounded in the square, filled with vitality and hope: "Tonight at The Der Yi Tavern, we will hold a prayer and charity event for the the Tesnan family. Whether you want to further understand the situation of Bolt, or simply want to remember the friends of the the Tesnan family, you are welcome to come to the tavern and join us."
The mayor's announcement brought a subtle change to the atmosphere in the square. While the townspeople still bore traces of sadness on their faces, a hint of anticipation and curiosity gradually emerged. They conversed with each other, discussing the potential significance and impact of the evening event. Some expressed a desire to gain a deeper understanding of Bolt's future, while others conveyed a profound longing for the the Tesnan family.
Amidst these conversations, a warm sense of unity began to emerge in the square. Many townspeople started to gather in small groups, sharing their memories of the the Tesnan family. Some even shed tears, but these tears were mixed with deep respect for the departed and a cherished appreciation for life.
After the ceremony, the crowd slowly dispersed. As they walked, they continued to discuss the upcoming evening party. The elderly, the young, and the children—each person participated in the town's collective mourning in their own way.
Against this backdrop, Sheriff William approached Agamemnon. His steps were steady, and his face showed a mature determination. When their eyes met, there were no words exchanged, but a deep mutual understanding and acknowledgment were evident in their gazes.
