"Ha?"
Almost everyone in the room stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
What's going on?
Could it be that Luo Ge secretly got married without telling everyone here?
What is that?
Luo Ge was also taken aback, his mind went blank for a moment.
no?
What the hell is this thing? Is it some kind of demon pill?
Seriously... where did this demon pill come from? Hmm... impersonating Roxy is one thing, but now it's claiming to be his wife.
Isn't this a bit too much like a demon pill?
Luo Ge was afraid she might cause some trouble or say something outrageous, so he rushed over and covered her mouth to stop her from talking nonsense.
Lala let out two protesting "Ugh!" Lara and was dragged by Luo Ge to a corner behind the tombstone.
Even the usually composed Luo Ge couldn't help but grit his teeth and lower his voice, "Hey, what the hell are you? What do you want?"
Lara simply stuck out her tongue, revealing an innocent expression. "Well... I didn't do anything, did I?"
Luo Ge clenched his fists, staring at the face that resembled Roxy's, but couldn't bring himself to strike.
Luo Ge took a deep breath, then clasped his hands together and prayed frantically, "Tell me, Grandma... what do you want in return for letting me go?"
"That..."
Lara tilted her head, pretended to think for a moment, and then put on an embarrassed expression. "Well... what should I do? Oh right... how about this? You grant me one request, okay?"
"Require?"
What are the requirements?
"Don't rush, I haven't decided yet... I'll tell you when I've thought it through, but... how about I stay by your side for a while?"
"Okay, but you can't keep causing trouble?"
"Okay, I promise I'll be a good girl!"
Listening to the other party's confident assurances, Luo Ge figured that given the Demon Orb's personality, it was highly unlikely that it would keep its promises, and that it probably had some other big tricks up its sleeve.
But now, he really has no way to deal with this demonic pill.
After all, in some ways, this Lara is even more troublesome than the Dragon God.
The way to deal with the Dragon God was simply brutal... Just treat it like any other enemy; there's always a method to it.
But Lara is different.
She had saved her life; she had been pulled back from the clutches of the Dragon God, and she owed her an immense favor.
at the same time.
On the other side.
Watching Luo Ge and Lara's backs in the corner, the two whispered to each other, appearing very familiar and close.
If it were anyone else, Roxy wouldn't have thought anything of it, but seeing a woman who looked so much like herself, who had a close relationship with Luo Ge, and who seemed to have some little secret that even she didn't know about, was a different story.
A hint of sadness suddenly flashed in Roxy's eyes.
I see.
So Luo Ge and she know each other? And they seem to have a pretty good relationship.
Normally, Nanahoshi would have come up and asked a few questions if he saw this, but Nanahoshi has now been pulled away by Randolph, and the two are now excitedly discussing cooking techniques on the side.
Nanahoshi was giving his opinions, while Randolph looked like a devoted fan, his face full of adoration.
Only her best friend Elinalise, came closer and whispered, "Um, Roxy? You don't look well... Are you alright?"
"Um... it's nothing."
Roxy looked away and lowered her eyes. "It's just... those two seem to have a pretty good relationship."
Elinalise disliked the imposter and was about to stop him when Roxy stopped her.
"Don't... don't bother Luo Ge... it's actually good that he has a friend."
Seeing this, Elinalise could only sigh helplessly, unsure of what to say.
After what seemed like an eternity, Luo Ge and Lara finally returned, as if they had finally finished their discussion.
Luo Ge cleared his throat and announced that the group was disbanding.
Thus, the farce of the funeral saga came to an abrupt end, and soon it was time for everyone to say goodbye.
The Demon King Badigadi was the first to come up and say goodbye.
"Hahahaha, it's so good to see you're alright."
"I heard you fought the Dragon God before, I didn't expect you to survive, that's really amazing."
Upon hearing this, even those who were about to leave couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
A battle with the Dragon God?
The Dragon God of the Seven Great Powers? Did they hear that right? Luo Ge actually fought the Dragon God ranked second among the Seven Great Powers.
And... he's still alive?!
When he noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, Luo Ge didn't try to hide anything. He then gave a brief and concise explanation of what had happened to him recently, thus providing an account to the outside world.
To avoid the rumors circulating outside becoming increasingly absurd...
However, Luo Ge was unaware that his answer was the most outrageous one to everyone.
He single-handedly fought the Dragon God of the Seven Great Powers, and not only did he not die, but he also escaped unscathed...
To put it bluntly... even if you told people about this achievement, probably very few people would believe it.
Who is the Dragon God?
That's the second-ranked person among the Seven Great Powers, and his ranking hasn't changed for many years. Especially the number one ranked Technique God, almost no one in the world has ever seen his true face.
But the Dragon God is different.
Although he was powerful, it is said that he was always on the move in the world, and although only a handful of people had seen him, it was not impossible.
However... everyone who has seen him invariably describes him as terrifying.
To be able to Luo Ge unscathed from an opponent of this caliber only proves that his reputation is well-deserved.
The title of Demon Sword King is truly well-deserved.
Even the Demon King Badigadi looked at Luo Ge with a complicated expression, because he knew that the man before him was not lying; he had indeed truly fought the Dragon God.
He had seen the marks left on the Red Dragon's jaw during the battle; in that battle... the Dragon God was definitely forced to draw his divine sword.
Badigadi had assumed that Luo Ge was surely dead, and had come here to bid him farewell, but the reality was quite different from what he had imagined.
Luo Ge may not have won... but he certainly didn't lose...
After all, being able to survive the Dragon God's clutches is the best proof of that.
With the departure of Badigadi.
Randolph followed immediately up.
He didn't care at all about the outcome of his battle with the Dragon God; all he cared about was his cooking skills.
He presented Luo Ge with a bowl of cooked dragon meat and asked him to taste it. At first, Luo Ge didn't recognize him, but after tasting the authentic dragon meat dish...
vomit...
He vomited.
He finally remembered the cook he had met once at the port of the Dragon King Kingdom.
Randolph...
Although he did not formally accept any disciples at that time, Randolph always claimed to be the disciple of " Demon Sword King " Luo Ge and "Gourmet" Nanahoshi.
Upon hearing that a funeral for the Demon Sword King was being held in Millicion, Randolph bought a ticket and set off that very day.
Since the Kingdom of Wanglong and Millis are only separated by a stretch of sea, he arrived here half a month ago.
He said that he personally prepared all the meals and desserts provided at the funeral.
Perhaps because Luo Ge and the Nanahoshi were both there, Randolph also warmly announced to the other guests who wished to stay that he, Randolph, would be treating everyone to dinner tonight.
Although Luo Ge insisted on not accepting, Randolph enthusiastically said that he was fine with it... he wanted to cook everyone one last dinner.
It was given the fancy name: [The Last Supper]
Since Luo Ge wasn't interested, Randolph turned around and went to Nanahoshi to ask him for advice on cooking.
His face was full of admiration for Nanahoshi, and he followed behind Nanahoshi with a small notebook, taking notes.
He humbly sought advice from all sides, asking about everything from cooking techniques to ingredient handling, wishing he could write down every word Nanahoshi said.
Luo Ge was somewhat surprised by this scene; he hadn't expected the two to be so close. So he began to observe the others present.
Paul's side... Elinalise and Talhand were standing next to him.
As for his bowing and scraping, it looked like he was apologizing. He rubbed his hands together and smiled ingratiatingly, while Elinalise crossed her arms and looked very unhappy.
She would glare at him every now and then, wondering what Paul had ever done to offend her in the past.
Following that, people started coming up to chat with him one after another.
Most of the people who came to see him were strangers to Luo Ge, so he could only nod and smile in response.
Of all these people, Luo Ge was most impressed by a woman who claimed to be his aunt.
This is a woman who looks remarkably like Zenith, who claims to be her aunt, and whose name is Therese Latorrea.
She was very proactive and enthusiastic, immediately hugging and cuddling Luo Ge... saying how similar they were.
Hmm... no wonder he's Zenith's child, so young and handsome.
They showered Luo Ge with compliments, making even Luo Ge himself a little embarrassed.
As she left, she didn't forget to ask Luo Ge... whenever he had time in the future, he could visit the Latorrea family.
The Latorrea family?
The noble family of Milicion, Zenith's maternal family.
Since... Luo Ge wasn't familiar with his grandmother's family in Latorrea, he simply gave them a perfunctory reply.
Therese didn't take it seriously, patted his arm with a smile, and then left.
Others also left one after another...
The once lively funeral procession gradually faded with time... people left and the atmosphere grew colder, and fewer and fewer people attended the funeral.
All that remained in front of the tombstone were trampled grass, a few bunches of rain-soaked white chrysanthemums, and the pot of dragon meat that had gone cold.
Luo Ge stood there, momentarily feeling a bit absurd.
There are many people here who know him, some are close friends, some have only met him once, and some are complete strangers...
In short, all these people gathered together by a series of coincidences, only to find out that they were there to attend their own funeral.
This ridiculous reason is simply outrageous.
But sometimes reality is just that magical, completely illogical.
The first thing Luo Ge needs to do is to clarify the news of his death to the public.
Luo Ge suddenly walked up to Paul, then pulled him aside and asked, "So? What's everyone saying outside?"
Paul scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "Well... the rumors are pretty outlandish."
"Some say you were killed by the Dragon God, some say by the Sword God, and others say by the Third North God."
" The Adventurers' Guild is in an uproar; everyone's talking about it."
Luo Ge rubbed his temples.
"Okay."
"I'll go to the Adventurers' Guild first thing tomorrow morning to clarify the news of his death."
"You're going in person?"
"Otherwise what?"
"I'm already standing right here. If I let the rumors continue, in two months someone will say I'm actually a zombie, or that the Demon Sword King died and came back to life, becoming an undead knight?"
Paul imagined the scene, and his lips twitched.
I'll go with you tomorrow.
"Whatever."
Luo Ge waved his hand, then turned to look at Lara, who was still lingering nearby. The mischievous little demon noticed that someone was watching her, and it was Luo Ge, so she couldn't help but stick her tongue out at Luo Ge and make a face.
Uh...
For a moment, I really didn't know what to do with this demon pill.
