Chapter 129: Escape
Perhaps having adapted to this constant migration of life, the evacuation of the Reims tribe was swifter than we expected. It didn't take long for everyone to pack up their things and leave the camp, and of course they didn't forget to set fire to the whole camp before leaving.
"Is it necessary?" Looking at the camp that had burned to the ground, I said with regret.
"You can't leave any clues for the Holy See, can you? Andβ" Lance's expression couldn't help but become serious at this point.
"This can also completely cut off everyone's thoughts..."
Hearing Lance say this, I can't help but feel a pang in my heart, yes, no matter how long it is, after all, this is the place where the Lance tribe once lived, and every grass and tree condenses memories, and this is undoubtedly a burden for a group of people who need to move constantly, because once there is a thought, there will be concern, sometimes this will certainly become the motivation for people to struggle, but sometimes it will also overwhelm people.
"Where's Ah Zi?" Xiao Jia suddenly asked.
"I've gone up the slope over there, and I'm going to say goodbye to Wald before I leave." Anton replied.
I heard that I was a little uneasy, so I went to Gaopo, and sure enough, I saw Ah Zi standing in front of a pile of new graves from a distance, and the cold wind blew through her and couldn't help but shiver slightly, I saw this and hurriedly took off my coat and gently put it on her body.
"Thank you." Ah Zi said softly, her eyes still staring straight at the graveyard in front of her. Buried here are the black elves who would rather die than give in during the previous invasion of the Holy See, a total of thirty-six, and their bodies were piled up in the corner of the camp before, until everyone packed up their things and prepared to tear them away, so there is this cemetery, due to the rush of time, everything seems a little shabby, not even a tombstone.
"Wald's a nice guy." I whispered.
"Well, if it wasn't for protecting me, it wouldn't have died at that time..."Ah Zi's voice suddenly trembled a little.
"I know, I've heard it all the way through, but before we set off for Bezukhov, I asked him to take good care of you during this time... It kept the promise we made." In fact, because of the initial attitude towards Ah Zi, I didn't have a good impression of Walder, I thought it was too arrogant and rude, but after getting along later, I found that this guy actually has a lot of cuteness, he is frank, sincere, not hypocritical, dares to admit his mistakes, and is brave to his friends. It's easy to say, but how many people can do it in reality? Thinking of this, I can't help but feel that my nose is slightly sour,
"I want to stay a little longer, can you stay with me any longer?" Ah Zi suddenly asked.
"Hmm." I didn't say much, just nodded firmly, and then we both stood quietly in front of the graveyard for a long, long time...
After leaving the camp, everyone made their way east, and we were all a little surprised at first, after all, it was now an area controlled by the white elves, and wouldn't it be tantamount to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth? You must know that the contradiction between the black and white elves is sometimes far beyond the contradiction between the Holy See and the demons.
"That's why we want to go east." Lance explains this.
"According to common sense, it is undoubtedly a safer choice to continue to move to the northwest, but we understand this, and the group of people in the Holy See also understand, so once they find out that we leave them, they will inevitably strengthen the pursuit in the northwest direction, so now we have to do the opposite, and most of the Holy See will not think that we would dare to move our home under the noses of old enemies, so that we will be safer for the time being."
After Lance said this, a few of us couldn't help but suddenly understand that after all, they are a people who have grown up in the process of running around, and Lance has far more experience in this regard than us.
"But it's going to be a bit of a hassle to be so close to the elves, right?" But I'm still a little worried.
"The lesser of two evils, for us, unless we completely overthrow the rule of the Protoss, there will never be a peaceful day..."Lance smiled bitterly, and at the end of his tone there was a little melancholy. In fact, it's not just the black elves, for all the demons, as long as the gods' rule over the world remains unchanged for a day, they will never have a day to emerge, for a while, I can't help but feel a little sympathy for these guys, but then I think about it, if these guys gain power... Well, or hope that day doesn't come as well.
"What about you?" Suddenly, Lance asked rhetorically. yes, what's next for us? There are so many facts that have happened lately, one after another, that we don't have time to think about what to do in the future.
"If you don't mind, you can join us." Lance offered to offer.
"Thanks, but that will only cause you more trouble, so forget it." I immediately refused, because our presence had caused too much trouble for the Lance tribe, and even if they could ignore their past suspicions, I personally couldn't bear to stay any longer.
Lance nodded when he heard this, and didn't insist any longer, through this period of getting along with him, he seemed to have an understanding of my character, and knew that if it was something I decided, it would be useless to say more, so he turned his head and continued to ask the princess on the side: "What about you?"
"I'll go with Kane, and I'll fulfill our agreement in the future." The princess is categorical and has a very clear attitude.
"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all, you know that as long as you say a word, even if you go to the soup, I will not give up." If I heard this sentence when I first met, I would definitely think that Lance was getting cheap and selling well, but through this time of getting along, I can be sure that these are its heartfelt words, and it will never lose to anyone in this world when it comes to Scarlett's feelings alone, even me.
"The Jason family does what they say! If I said yes, you'll do it." The princess's attitude is also very resolute, her words must be done, and her deeds must be fruitful, this is her style, which is the so-called "aristocratic spirit", of course, part of the reason is that she never likes to owe favors to others.
Lance's expression was suddenly a little lost, and ordinary people may not understand it when they see it, but it is clear that this decision is in its favor. But I can still understand its mood somewhat, after all, when you really love someone, you don't care about the reward at all, and the princess's attitude now seems to have turned all this into a transaction, which makes Lance look like a despicable villain who takes advantage of people's danger, of course, with Lance's character, he naturally doesn't care too much about this. What really saddened it was that the princess clearly saw her as an ordinary outsider, which was even more chilling than a face-to-face rejection. Will the princess not understand this? Of course not, she's too good at perceiving other people's minds, so all of this is undoubtedly deliberate, in order to make her position clear to Lance - there is no emotional entanglement between us, it's just a deal.... The Golden Lion showed the same determination in the handling of this matter as it did on the battlefield, a very hurtful determination.
"I think it's better for you to stay..."After a long hesitation, I finally spoke.
"What!?" Everyone was stunned and looked at me in amazement.
