Chapter 318: The Road to Survival (Part II)
The hunt for the Council of Light doesn't seem to be unfolding as it had imagined.
Walking on the country road, stepping on the withered leaves, Sonia raised her head and looked at the town surrounded by a wooden fence in front of her, the two of them had changed their clothes at this moment, Sonia was wearing the leather armor of a swordsman, and Lilian who followed her was wearing a spirit master's robe. Such combinations are not uncommon on the mainland, and spirit masters who travel abroad will always go on the road with their companions, and even Li Jie came over like this in the first place. Fortunately, as a dragon of light, Lilian can more or less heal spiritual skills, even if her strength is sealed, but after all, she is also a dragon of creation, and she has some skills.
With the help of such a disguise, the two of them had a smooth journey, perhaps at first the Council of Light only focused on the city of Casablanca, and did not expect that a delicate lady and a creation dragon who usually did not even come out of the gate could actually wander outside like a beggar. Of course, this is also inseparable from Sonya's own experience, but she knows very well how those huge forces conduct searches, so in order to avoid trouble along the way, Sonia also tries to stay away from those crowded areas, only occasionally going to the surrounding villages to buy some food during the day, and finding a place to rest in the mountains and forests at night. It's not safe, but considering the pursuers of the Council of Light, which could fall from the sky at any moment, it's far safer in the woods than in the villages. Perhaps because winter is approaching, most creatures are now busy preparing for hibernation. However, none of the beasts dared to hit them on their heads, perhaps because of the potential dragon influence in Lilian's body, so those beasts did not dare to attack them.
"Leigh, how about we take a break here today and then hit the road? It's not far from the Highland City side........."
It's been almost two days of travel. To be honest, now Sonia is physically and mentally exhausted, and she doesn't know if the two archangels have gone back, but what if they do? This is a woman's instinct, but Sonia feels that even if the two archangels go back, I'm afraid nothing good will happen. And now Casablanca is giving her a bad feeling. Rather than go back to Casablanca, it's better to keep going......... Now they have to go on.
"Hmm."
Hearing Sonya's words, Lillian nodded, and then she reached out and grabbed the corner of Sonya's clothes.
When they reached the entrance of the village, the strong militia standing there glanced at the two of them curiously, but did not stop them. This relieved Sonya, who took Lillian's hand and walked into the village. Next, they just need to find a place to rest here for a while. Then buy some food and supplies, and you're ready to go. Now Sonia didn't dare to choose those large towns, she knew very well that the flow of information in those places was very fast, compared to these small villages located in the wilderness, they were relatively closed, and even if there was any news, it would not be able to reach here for a while.
The village's only namesake tavern-inn is located not far from the gate, with a few malnourished looking horses tethered to a manger. The lobby of the tavern is just like this rural place, filled with all kinds of stench and bad liquor. Pushing open the wooden door and entering the tavern, Sonia felt the unpleasant smell. But she just frowned and said nothing. Compared to the stench in the sewer, it smells much better now.
The innkeeper was a middle-aged woman with big shoulders and a round waist, and she looked like a fat bucket that could walk. Seeing that there were guests coming to the door, and it was not those farmers who only drank and made trouble all day long, she also hurried to greet them.
"Yo, I didn't expect to meet guests so early, what do you two need?"
Maybe it's because the middle-aged woman's voice is too loud like a tyrannosaurus. Lilian shuddered in fright, but Sonia spoke quietly.
"We are travelers from the south and just passing through here, please prepare some food for us, not too greasy......... It would be better if there was a drink to warm up. Also, please prepare some bacon and bread for us. ”
As she spoke, Sonia pulled out a few silver coins from her bosom and placed them on the counter. Seeing the silver coin in front of her, the fat woman's eyes lit up, and then she immediately put away the silver coin in her hand with a speed that even professional thieves couldn't match, and then nodded.
"Hahaha, no problem, two young ladies, our apples here are very famous, now is the harvest season, I can guarantee that you will be full of praise for our special fruit wine here!"
While speaking, the middle-aged woman turned around and yelled at the thin man next to her, and the frightened other party immediately slipped into the kitchen behind. Looking at the scene in front of her, Sonia shook her head slightly, and then took Lilian to sit down in the corner next to her. Admittedly, nothing is easier to mature than running away and taking risks, and now Sonia finds herself almost entirely in the role of an adventurer, and even a rough countryman like the innkeeper doesn't seem so annoying in her eyes............
The other party's movements were not slow, and soon, steaming bread, bacon, and warm and sweet fruit wine were placed in front of the two of them, and not only that, but the shopkeeper also prepared a few grilled fish for the two of them, which were of course not as delicious as Sonia and Lilian's food at home, the bread was too dry, the bacon was too hard, and the grilled fish was too charred, and only those fruit wines were worth trying. At first, neither of them could eat these things, but now they have learned how to taste and eat them. Anyway, there's no time for them to pick and choose, is there?
"Squeak.........
Just as the two were eating, the door of the tavern was pushed open again, and then an old man walked into the tavern, he glanced inside, and soon saw Sonia and Lillian sitting in the corner, Sonia was nothing, but when he saw Lillian's spirit master robe, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he hurried to the two of them and saluted them respectfully.
"Sorry to bother you. Two ......... Is this young lady a spiritual master? ”
"Huh?"
Lillian was stunned for a moment when she heard someone ask her, and then she looked at the old man curiously and asked.
"Excuse me............ Is there anything wrong with you? ”
"That's right."
Faced with Lilian's inquiry, the old man hurriedly spoke.
"My grandson has accidentally fallen ill in the past two days because of the autumn cold. We were going to go to town to find a spirit master to help with healing. But the road is too far, since this young lady is a spirit master, can I trouble you to help save my grandson? ”
"This ..............."
Hearing this, Lilian looked at Sonia with some embarrassment, and Sonia frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry, but this young lady is still studying and is not qualified to treat patients alone............"
"Sonia?"
It was then that Sonia felt Lillian tug at her clothes, and she lowered her head. I saw that Lillian was looking at herself, she clasped her hands and looked at herself with some uneasiness.
"That............ If anyone needs help, I want to ............ We should ......... Helping others, isn't it? ”
"But ..............."
Hearing Lilian's words, Sonia hesitated, she didn't want to have anything to do with these villagers, whether it was good or bad. None of this is a good thing. If the Council of Light were to find out, it would be a disaster for them and for these people. But Lilian's thoughts were not incomprehensible to her. But as far as Sonia herself is concerned.........
"Sonia?"
“……………………”
Looking at Lilian's eyes full of pleading, Sonia hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
After the intermittent meal, the two of them packed their bags and followed the old man to his house, just as the old man had said. His grandson, who was not yet six years old, was lying in bed with a high fever, pale and almost dying. Seeing this scene, Lilian naturally couldn't be indifferent. Soon, she came to the other party's side. He chanted softly, then stretched out his hands. With Lilian's movements, a white light suddenly emerged from her hand, randomly enveloping the boy in front of her completely. Soon, the boy's complexion gradually began to improve, and even his breathing gradually subsided.
As a Genesis Dragon Soul, Lilian is still sure of this little thing.
At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of the door opening, and everyone looked up, only to see a farmer dressed in a dirty dress who was tiredly pushing open the door and walking in. Seeing Sonia and Lilian, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly stepped forward with a calm face.
"Who are you? What do you want to do with my son! ”
"Shut up, Mike, they're the ones I've brought in, that young lady is a psychic!"
"Spirit Master?"
Hearing the old man next to him, the man stopped, and then he carefully looked at Lilian who was standing by the window. Because of being in the room, Lillian didn't hide her face in the hood as she did outside, but soon the man withdrew his gaze and came to the boy's side, looking at him with concern, and after making sure that he had no fever, he let out a long breath, and then the man turned and bowed respectfully to Lillian in front of him.
"Thank you for your help, young lady. I'm sorry I was so ......... The main reason is that I have been worried about my child's condition during this time, and suddenly I saw an outsider, and I was a little ......... I beg your pardon for being excited. ”
"Ah, no, it's nothing, I didn't take it to heart, please don't care......... This is what I should do. ”
Hearing the man's thanks, Lilian was obviously a little flustered, and she hurriedly waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to care. Seeing Lilian's movements, the man straightened up and spoke.
"Looking at the two of you, it should be travelers, so let's ask the two of you to stay here tonight to take a break, which can be regarded as a token of our gratitude..............."
Hearing the man's words, Sonia frowned slightly.
"Good intentions, we ..............."
But before she could finish speaking, Sonia stopped, she turned her head and looked at Lillian next to her, although Lillian did not speak, but her eyes could see that Lillian was very excited about the proposal. It's true that it's just an ordinary farmhouse and it's useless, but being able to spend the night on a big soft bed instead of on the cold grass in the wilderness is still an unbeatable temptation for a girl.
“……………… Well, thank you for your kindness, then you're welcome. ”
Sighing softly, Sonia shook her head and spoke. (To be continued......)
