Chapter Twenty-Three: The Coffin Lady Lilian
…
On the horizon, a little girl in white with a black cat on her head and a black coffin on her back was revealed.
"Ah, why am I black~ It's so hot, Lily, how long will it take to get home..."Luna said weakly, pulling her ears.
"Bear with me a little longer, it's coming soon, just flip over..."
"Just go over that mountain and you can see the Fiano Mountains. That's what you said three hours ago, Lily. ”
Luna patted Lillian's forehead with her drooping paws, her tone full of suspicion.
"If I don't say that, you'll be nagging. Besides, it's me walking, and you're hitchhiking. ”
Lillian rolled her eyes, reached out and grabbed the cloth strap on her shoulder that was used to carry the coffin, and lifted it up, which contained Xinziya's body, which could not be broken.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, because of me, I've tired you."
The jewel that hung on Lilian's chest flickered, and Xinzia's voice came from within.
"It's okay, Sister Jiya, this weight is just a piece of cake for me." Lilian touched the moon white gem with her finger and said nonchalantly.
"Hmm~ Lily, you are biased, obviously I arrived first, why do you have a completely different attitude towards Sister Jiya and towards me!"
Luna, who is full of grievances, thinks that she has been treated very unfairly, and must declare that only crying children can have milk~
"Eccentric? Where is it, which guy is arguing all the way! I didn't leave you in the desert, even if I was enlightened. ”
"Woo meow ~ Lily, you're going to bully me..."
Lillian withdrew the finger that had hit the cat's head and lowered her head to touch the moon-white jewel.
In order to cut off the body's corruption of the soul, Lilian used a scythe that could strip the soul from the body while at the ruins; At the same time, a large amount of soul power obtained from the living dead was used to perfectly wrap Xin Jiya's soul, so as to complete the work of separating the soul from the body.
Therefore, the current Xinjiya stays in the soul sickle that has become a gem. Although he can't act for the time being, he can move normally after returning to the magic city and being purified. This is how Lilian organized the corruption of Xinzia.
"Speaking of which, Sister Jiya, you called my name directly before, it seems that you should have been in contact with the demons, so why are you so strange to us demons, and actually treat me as an ordinary demon?"
"I saw your father when you were an egg. That's when I was made a demon guard; But then the demons went to war with the Terrans led by the God of Light, and you disappeared with the Demon Emperor. Therefore, apart from seeing you and the Demon Emperor, I only know a little bit of information about demons in the book, and if it weren't for the Soul Scythe Confession, I wouldn't even be sure that you are Your Highness..."
"I see... However, I wonder why the other demons abandoned us and ran into the Endless Sea. Don't they know the truth of the cold of the lips and the teeth? ”
"Five thousand years ago, it was the era of the demons, and we humans were just vassals, and some demons even regarded humans as food. Gu Hua was able to build a nation as a human because of his special ability.
At that time, the god of light was actually a heresy, and I think the main reason for the fall of the demon race was the internal problems of the demon race. They left the royal family and fled, and I think it should be related to the internal struggle, and the more specific things are not for me to know. ”
"Well... Forget it, this problem will not be fruitful in the short term..."
Lilian exhaled, leaving this question aside for the time being, no way, the information is insufficient, no matter how long you think about it, it's just a groundless guess, and when you have a chance to find a demon to understand, it's good to find a demon in the future.
"Lily, look! It looks like a copycat in front! ”
The black cat suddenly screamed, and when she heard this, Lillian broke out of her contemplative state and looked down the cat's paws, where a wooden lookout tower stood on the side of the rocky hills of the wasteland, and if it were not for the right angle, the passers-by would not even be able to detect its presence.
"It looks like a bandit's den...... Walk! Let's go ask for something to eat. ”
Seeing the existence of the suspected bandit's den, Lilian was also very happy. In order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, he has been avoiding human settlements such as cities in the past few days, and has been walking on small roads and wilderness, where birds don't poop.
In the past few days, except for some mountain spring water and wild fruits, Lilian has not eaten anything properly, and relies on ingesting the excess soul power in the soul sickle to replenish the consumption. At this time, there is a settlement that is separated from the outside world, there is no need to worry about revealing her whereabouts, and she can have a full meal, of course she is happy!
"Lily, quick, I can already smell the food!"
A person, a cat, a coffin, plus a spider hidden in the hair, quickened their pace and headed towards the settlement...
…
Carson is a lookout in Blackwind Village, and before he came here, he was an ordinary farmer in the north, with a not beautiful but virtuous wife, and helped him give birth to a lovely little daughter.
He once thought that he could have a happy past in this life, but life is always accompanied by accidents, you and I don't know what will happen in the next moment, and Carson doesn't know.
On a stormy night, he took in a young man who was passing by a farmhouse hungry and cold. I thought that good deeds would be rewarded, but the next morning, a group of old men in military uniforms came to the door, captured the young man, and waved the butcher knife at the unarmed Carson family.
It just so happened that Carson went into the mountains to collect medicine and escaped his life, but his wife and lovely daughter closed their eyes forever.
While Carson was grieving, the aristocratic lackeys who had killed Carson's family bit back and put Carson on the wanted list.
With nowhere to go, Carson had no choice but to leave his familiar home and go to the Black Wind Village to settle down in the grass, hoping to find an opportunity to kill several nobles' lackeys and avenge the death of his wife and daughter.
But where will the bandits go to trouble the noble lords, they are just a group of ruffians who bully the weak and fear the hard.
After learning all this, Carson also thought about leaving, but he didn't have a good place to go. After thinking about it, I had to be a janitor in this Black Wind Village, and I survived.
'Alas... When is this kind of life a head...'
"I... This one...... Not... Delicious. ”
"How... Probably, it looks like this place is quite big, and there should be. ”
A vague conversation was heard, and it gradually became clear. Carson immediately came to his senses and got up to look down.
A little girl with a black cat on her head and a black box on her back walked out from behind the rocks and walked towards the stockade.
"This can't be some lost child..."
Looking at the other party's immature and cute little face, Carson suddenly remembered his daughter who died young, and couldn't help but feel sad.
"What if... If Nana were still alive, she would probably be so old..."
Suddenly, he thought of the ruffians in the stockade, and the beautiful women who had been captured, and Carson immediately felt a strong urge in his heart.
How could he watch this simple and lovely child, as if his daughter had been reborn, being ravaged by these bandits!
No!
He can't just look at it!
Carson immediately rushed down the belvedere, in the direction where the girl came,
"Hopefully those bastards haven't found out about this kid yet..."
