Chapter Thirty-Seven. The Dead Paladin(2/2)
Since there is nothing they can do to save the man's life, Davidson and others plan to at least bring Belkas's last remaining words and wishes to his family.
"Yuffie?!"
When Davidson mentioned his wife, Belkas, who was still dying just now, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Why, why..."
Belkas seemed possessed.
He kept muttering in his mouth, as if he was questioning someone, and stared at the sky.
"My lord? My lord?!"
"Can't we escape? Can't we still escape? Why can't we let us go? Answer me!!"
Cough cough cough!!
Belkas suddenly went crazy, and the poisonous spots spread all over his body to his cheeks, making him look particularly ferocious.
At this time, Belkas seemed to have come back to his senses. He was full of anger and unwillingness to question someone.
"Answer me!!"
Belkas hammered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with several blood clots.
"ah!"
People were frightened by Belkas in this state, and they all involuntarily stepped back. Only Belkas was left yelling at the nonexistent sky.
"W-what on earth is going on?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Is it the poison that made him crazy?"
…
People talked a lot, but no one came to any conclusion.
Maybe the poison stimulated Belkas's spirit and drove him crazy, or maybe there was really someone worthy of making him so angry.
But Belkas's behavior ended quickly.
After he spat out another mouthful of blood, Belkas fell down and lay motionless on the ground.
Davidson took the lead and walked up to the man to check the situation.
At this time, Belkas's breath was no longer flowing in and out, and it could be said that he was exhausted.
But he was still mumbling something, as if he was talking about the name of the person he was questioning.
Out of curiosity, Davidson leaned down to hear what Belkas was saying.
"Why...why..."
Belkas said his last words, and the man's name——
"Vosini!!"
Then he stopped breathing in this frantic state. Davidson did not expect that Belkas's last words would be this.
The content didn't seem like it should be handed over to the family, and the words filled with endless resentment were more like an unspoken curse.
Enemy? Or something else?
Davidson couldn't guess what the name actually meant. Maybe it was just some meaningless crazy words spoken by Belkas, who was suffering from severe poison.
Despite his doubts, Davidson got up from the ground and joined others in praying for the soul that had just passed away.
I pray that this man who once had a legendary experience and was extremely righteous and glorious even in death can find a fertile land in heaven.
They wanted to take Belkas' body back to the village for burial, but now was not the time.
So these people decided to make a simple grave here first, and then bring Belkas back to the village when they have the opportunity.
When they moved Belkas's body, they discovered that Belkas's eyes were not closed.
The dead man stared straight at the sky, his eyes were bloodshot and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Davidson, Belkas, what did he say at the end?"
After people dug a small grave and closed Belkas' eyes that were still open at the end, the deceased was finally sent to the grave.
Shortly after the simple funeral, someone asked Davis what Belkas had said before he died.
After all, the state in which Belkas died was so unusual that people could not help but be curious.
"He said..."
Recalling the last name Belkas said, Davidson suddenly remembered that it was not as if he had never heard it before.
But he couldn't be sure whether Belkas was talking about the same person. He just considered the possibility that was so elusive that it could be said to be non-existent. Davis swallowed what he originally wanted to say.
"It's nothing, he was crazy at that time."
When others wanted to ask more questions, Davidson waved his hand and said he was tired and didn't want to say anything more.
After burying Belkas, people returned to their carriages. With the crack of the coachman's whip, the team moved forward again.
Davidson sat at the back of the car and turned to look at the new grave buried in the woods. He kept staring and seemed to be in a trance. When he came to his senses, the shadow of the grave had long since disappeared from his field of vision.
"What a pity..."
He lamented in a voice that no one else could hear:
