Early in the morning, the next day.
When Lu Heng returned to the woods outside the north gate of Kolos City, he saw Fiona with a team of Elf Priests, conducting a natural burial for a companion.
It seemed that an elf had passed away and was to be returned to nature.
The elf clan's tree burial ritual is a unique cultural practice, quite distinctive among the various civilizations of the Otherworld.
The Elf Priest would chant the deceased's name and life stories, then cover them with leaves and flowers.
During the chant of Natural Magic by the Elf Priest, plants would grow from the earth, covering the deceased elf's body, allowing them to return to nature.
Lu Heng stood aside with his head bowed, expressing respect for the departed.
After presiding over the ceremony, Fiona turned around and said, "Thank you."
"Was this a warrior who died fighting demons?" Lu Heng asked casually.
