On their way out, the staff explained that it was a tradition to burn the body of a priest of the system church in the place where they died. At first, it was rely a practicality, but it had already been a tradition for millennia.
Outside the half-destroyed system church, the crowd had already built a pyre. They had piled up wooden scraps from the surrounding debris and drenched it with gasoline. On top of it was Samuel’s body, now clad in a ceremonial robe. With his hands on his chest, he held onto his staff. He looked almost peaceful, now that the blood was cleaned away and his wound could not be seen.
“It’s hard to believe...”
Mark Baker stepped beside Seth. He had known and worked a lot with Samuel when he still had a leading position in Ypselon. It didn’t quite fit in with his image of the old man, that it was actually possible for him to die.
“You are right, it is hard to believe,” Seth agreed solemnly.
He had not interacted a lot with Samuel since he left the district, but he had a good opinion of the man since they made the deal to sell items in Y-City. It was hard to think that soone who had such an integral NPC feeling like Samuel or Simon, would actually be able to die. But it just showed that reality did not spare the mob characters.
As horrible as it may have been, Seth was glad it was not any of his friends. He felt confird in his decision to make everyone in Minas Mar as imbalanced and powerful as possible. There was always soone stronger, and Seth wanted to make sure that person would always be soone from Minas Mar.
Thoughts like this occupied his mind, as he watched one of the priests approach with a magical torch. He stepped toward the pyre to set it afla. Despite it being set up in a short ti, everything had a solemn atmosphere to it.
With a heavy heart, the blacksmith saw the fla climb the Pyre when suddenly-
