Chapter 317: The Road to Survival (I)
"Sonya! Sonia? ”
Hearing the shouts in her ears, Sonia slowly opened her eyes, and Lilian's frightened face was greeted by her. It was already sunset, and Sonia only felt a pain and numbness in her body, and even more pain in her back, and she slowly sat up, only to find that she was lying on a withered lawn. It's late autumn, and the grass has withered, and the green leaves have turned yellow. The cold wind blew through the forest, and Sonia suddenly felt an icy chill. She looked down and realized that her clothes were completely soaked with sewage, and the stench was everywhere. And Lillian's appearance was not much better at the moment, her little face was black and white everywhere, like a little flower cat, and the cloak that wrapped Lillian was also full of all kinds of filth. Not only that, but Sonia also felt cold and pain coming from her left arm.
Sure enough, did you still get hit?
Thinking of this, Sonia stabilized her mind and stood up.
"Your Majesty, it's not safe here, and we're going to keep going."
"But, but......... Where exactly are we going? And also......... Sonya, are you okay? Would you like to find a place to rest.........
"No, not now, let's find a place to rinse our bodies, change our clothes, and move on, Your Majesty. The Council of Light can't find us, so we'll be able to expand our search area, and we'll have to get out of it before we do. ”
Looking at Lilian's pale face, Sonia was also a little hesitant, to be honest, she was not much better than Lilian, if it weren't for Sonya, she would be an elite-level swordsman, and her physique was not so bad. Replaced with an ordinary aristocratic lady. I'm afraid I won't even be able to walk at this point. But for Sonia, even if she can't walk, she has to keep walking. She didn't know what would happen if Lillian was caught by Nackfand, but it didn't seem like a good thing......... Not to mention, the task given to him by Rhodes is to protect the safety of His Majesty Lilian!
That's right. This is the mission given to me by my master!
Thinking of this, Sonia immediately became determined, although the journey was very tiring and painful, but compared to the master's previous "education", this was nothing at all. Now, the most important thing is to take Lilian's majesty away from Casablanca, as long as she can leave this intermediate area, then Sonia can use her familiarity with the Land of Light to travel to other areas. Then blend in with the crowd so that you can avoid the search of the Council of Light. She knew very well that even in the country of light, there were some regions that were not satisfied with the rule of the Council of Light, as long as they could escape there, then there was no need to fear the council's pursuers, and the local resistance alone was enough for those guys to drink a pot.
"Your Majesty. Let's move on. ”
"Hmm............ It's good. ”
Seeing Sonia stand up, Lilian hesitated. But in the end, he asked.
"That......... Sonia, where exactly are we going? ”
“…………… The way by float boat is certainly not working, and getting to Moon is also dangerous, and if we take the road by road, then we will need to be subjected to a lot of interrogation. But if you go by water, it's about the same as the threat of a floating boat. What's more, I heard that there are many ships on the harbor of light that are not clean, and the other party may have some bad intentions when they see the two of us............" Thinking of this, Sonia pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, if you don't mind. We can follow the Heilan River all the way down to the river, and then ......... We might be able to make our way to the Void Realm through Highland City. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Lilian was stunned, and seeing Lilian's expression, Sonia was in a hurry. She had planned to take this opportunity to turn Lillian back into the Void Realm, and although the reasons Sonia had said before were fully valid, it wasn't at all that she couldn't do it. Take the harbor as an example, it is true that there are many black ships there, as Sonia said, but there are also many regular passenger ships. As long as they can evade the search and sneak aboard the ship, it is not impossible to get to Moon. But......... As Rod's most heartfelt servant, Sonia naturally didn't want to give up this opportunity to Lydia.
"It's relatively safe, Your Majesty Lilian. We can find the caravans of the Chamber of Commerce and go with them to the borderlands. Many of these chambers of commerce don't have much to do with the Council of Light, and we're not worried that they'll find out who we are, and even if something goes wrong, it's easier for us to escape........."
"Okay."
"Huh?"
Hearing Lilian's hearty answer, Sonia was stunned for a moment, only to see that Lilian was waving her little fist at this moment, looking at her with an excited expression.
"Let's go find Brother Rod, Sonya, I think Brother Rhodes will definitely protect us!"
"Of course, Your Majesty, if you think it's good..............."
Facing Lilian, who was excited in front of her, Sonia felt that she had nothing more to say.........
Although Lillian was very excited to be able to go to Rhodes, the problem in front of them was not so easy to solve. The first is the issue of bathing. It wasn't until the moon rose that Sonia and Lillian realized how difficult it was to find a place to bathe in the middle of nowhere. One of them is the eldest lady and the other is the dragon of light, and they are all characters who come to eat and stretch their hands on weekdays, although Sonia is also responsible for taking care of Lillian, but that does not include her diet and daily life. So the two of them walked through the woods for a long time, and finally found a stream. Although the night in late autumn was very cold, the two of them gritted their teeth and went down to wash their bodies, and then changed into clean and refreshing clothes, and then Sonia picked up a few branches from the side, so she can be regarded as a frequent outing, the so-called has never eaten pork and seen pigs run. Even if Sonia herself is not a mercenary who is away all the year round, she has seen her guards keep vigil outside, so she has also learned a similar ——— of course, if it weren't for Sonya's magic sword with fire attributes, I'm afraid they would have to spend a cold night here tonight.
"Woo..............."
The whole person curled up in Sonya's arms, looking at the fire in front of her, Lilian couldn't help but shudder, and then she instinctively shrunk her body again. Sensing Lilian's movements, Sonia hugged the girl in her arms tightly, her right hand clenching the long sword, leaning her back against the tree, and looking around. The woods in late autumn were dark and terrifying, and under the silvery moonlight, those dry branches were like the shadows of ghosts, constantly twisting.
“………… Sonia? ”
"What's the matter? Your Majesty? ”
Hearing Lilian's voice, Sonia asked softly.
“………… Why do they want to arrest me? What exactly did I do? I think it's annoying......... It's ......... feeling."
“…………………”
"Brother Rod......... Sister Nalaya, Sister Shigal, and even that nasty Ion, everyone is the soul of the creation dragon, and I am so unlucky for anything. They are all supported and loved by others, why am I the only one who has been treated like this? I'm also the Creator Dragon Soul, I really don't know what I've done wrong, why do those people want to do this to me? Have I ever done something bad to them? Didn't I do nothing all the time and let them do what they wanted? Is it because I helped those poor soldiers? ”
"No............ His Majesty's ............ I don't think that'..............."
After a moment's hesitation, Sonia reached out and gently stroked Lilian's hair.
“………… I don't know what to say, but the Lord ......... His Majesty Rhodes was able to have today's achievements because of his own efforts. Your Majesty, you must have heard about His Majesty Rod's experience. He faced many threats, including the mighty undead army, but he did not back down, but forged ahead, and in the end, he was victorious, and he was honored and respected......... Your Majesty, everyone is the same, if you want to be recognized by others, then you must follow the path you have chosen. Even if it's a thorny path........."
Saying this, Sonia was silent for a moment, why shouldn't she be the same herself? She can give up her mission and continue to live as Sonia of the Krotos family, or she can truly become a member of the Council of Light, where she has her own status, identity and glory. But what did she get from Rhodes? Carnal pleasures? If Sonia wants to find this kind of thing, it's not that she can't find a substitute, she is a beautiful woman, and the man who covets this body is still less in the world? If nothing else, among the aristocracy, there were more promiscuous gatherings than these, where she could suck the drugs that made people flutter, and swim in the sea of flesh and pleasure, and wouldn't that bring her pleasure just as well? Moreover, by Rod's side, he is just a slave after all, a. But here, at least on the surface, she is still a noble lady.
So, why did she choose this path that seemed to have no future?
Thinking of this, Sonia lowered her eyes and looked at the flying bonfire in front of her.
But the answer was already predestined, as she had told Lillian.
"Each of us has chosen our own path, so we have to go our own way..............."
She whispered, but at this moment, Lillian was already in her arms, falling into a deep sleep. (To be continued......)
