"Memorial service?"
Zoemi raised his brow and glanced over at Alan hoping for an answer.
"Memorial... Oh. That's right. Today is the anniversary of the failed exploration expedition led by the Heavenly Star Warrior almost thirty years ago. A bunch of sects worked together to put up their best marital artist and set sail towards the line of death. It was believed that with the power of the Heavenly Star Warrior they will manage to cross the boundary and reach the new lands – the land of mana. Basically, mister William was the only actual survivor – there were some people who survived the original incident but died soon after being recovered from the ocean because of severe mana poisoning, and the bodies of many others were never recovered at all."
And indeed, Alan did not disappoint, giving Zoemi's the information from the top of his head.
