Volume 1: Pride Chapter 12: Worship
The midday battle seemed to be just an accident, until Li Lanzhen found a hotel and settled down, Xiao Yueluo did not find anyone who was following her, and the killer of Yuequan Town was like a phantom, and did not appear in front of her again after that.
"What are you thinking?" In a room of the hotel, the head wolf closed his eyes and nested on the floor, and his tail swept behind him, looking very comfortable.
"Those assassins of the Darkmoon Pavilion...... It stands to reason that it should have caught up a long time ago, but these days it has been ......."
"Could it be the reason for the borders?" The head wolf still understands the relationship between countries in the human world, just as animals have territorial consciousness, and so do humans. It would be considered a provocation for so-called armed forces to step into the territory of another country without permission.
"Darkmoon Pavilion is different." Xiao Yueluo shook her head and walked slowly to the window, "This force is very widely distributed, as far as I know, their scope of activity is not limited to the territory of the empire, most countries and populated places have their traces, it can be said that this is the second force that has blossomed in the whole continent in addition to the church. ”
"And...... The national border is just a positioning, and this positioning is only binding on the forces on the bright side, underground forces like the Dark Moon Pavilion...... It didn't do much. ”
Xiao Yueluo's voice was a little helpless, inexplicably being targeted and then inexplicably attacked, although it didn't have too much impact, but it was always a little unpleasant, and it was potentially dangerous, even she didn't dare to say that she retreated under the attack of the Dark Moon Pavilion, you must know that this group of people is notoriously unsuccessful and does not give up.
"But compared to this, the most priority now is to rush to the old site, after all, even if it is a war to destroy the country, they can't kill everyone." It is always the commoners who suffer from war, but in addition to this, the nobles will also face the danger of their lives, as leaders they all have their own glory, even if they die they will defend this, of course, it cannot be excluded that some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Do you think those old friends of yours are still alive?" Old friends, this is what Xiao Yueluo called for those people, war makes everything wrong, and people who once knew each other, whether the relationship is good or bad, has become history. For Xiao Yueluo, as long as one of those people is still alive, they may be able to become a comforter.
"Perhaps...... At least in my heart, I still hope that some of them will live. "People are like that, once there is hope, there will be expectations, and of course Xiao Yueluo is the same. At this time, she looked at the dim lights outside the window, and her heart was once again full of melancholy.
Princess...... If you're still here, let me find you, at least a little bit of news......
That's right, Xiao Yueluo has always had a feeling, that is...... Rita Evel is still alive in this world. Although I know that my idea is ridiculous, I can ...... This feeling has continued to grow over time.
"Maybe you can get some clues over there...... Xiao Yueluo muttered, her thoughts drifting away as the night drifted away.
……
On the day of the day, Xiao Yueluo got up early in the morning, although she had not encountered the killers of the Dark Moon Pavilion again for a period of time, but the vigilance that had been aroused was difficult to eliminate in a short period of time, at least until the mastermind behind the scenes was found.
The crescent moon hanging high already showed signs of fading, and after leaving the room, Xiao Yueluo left Li Lan Town directly, she knew her current situation very well. As a remnant of the Duchy of Evel, she is not suitable to appear in towns where troops are stationed if they are discovered...... It might cause panic......
"Being treated as a terrorist or something...... Xiao Yueluo shook her head and smiled, feeling a little helpless about her own thoughts.
Time passed quietly, and with the help of the mutated movement ability of the head wolf, Xiao Yueluo soon came to the place where she was defeated for the only time - the Zoro Plains.
"No matter how many times I've seen it, the scenery here is still so soothing." Revisiting her hometown, Xiao Yueluo's mood was far calmer than she imagined, and she was even in the mood to enjoy the scenery in front of her.
"Have I changed, or have I ...... That's what I am. There were some doubts in her heart, it stands to reason that she should cry bitterly at this moment, no matter how bad it is, she has to show a sad look, but in fact, ......
Xiao Yueluo sat cross-legged in front of a huge tomb and was silent for a moment before taking out several mountain fruits and some meat from the package beside her, which she had obtained in the forest she was passing by.
"Time is in a hurry, I brought these things this time, don't worry, I know that you like to drink, and I will definitely bring some for ......you when I come back from Wangcheng" There was a short silence, and the corners of Xiao Yueluo's mouth hooked a wry smile, "I know that I am not a good senior, maybe it was a mistake to bring you together in the first place, and I swore that I would take you to make a contribution, but ...... Hehe, after all, I broke my promise. ”
This sitting is a few hours, and the blue sky that was originally sunny is now shining with stars.
"Human, it's time to go."
"Is it so late?" The voice in her head pulled Xiao Yueluo back from her memory, and looked up at the night sky where the curtain hung at some point, Xiao Yueluo stood up directly and patted the dust on her body.
"Let's go, otherwise I won't talk about the hotel in a while, I guess I won't even be able to enter the city gate." In addition to the villages, most towns will have a curfew time, which normally closes around eight o'clock, and if you miss it, there is only one option, sleeping outside the city, after all, the guards on duty also have to rest. It's just that there are exceptions to everything, and those powerful nobles, who are the rule-makers, are not included.
"There is still an hour or so to ......" jumped lightly and sat on the back of the head wolf, and the next second the head wolf turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the old capital of Evel.
……
Eliville, formerly the city of King Evel.
In the dim light, the tall gates were not so noticeably damaged, which were the traces left by the repairs of the gates. The main road under the moonlight, occasionally hurried past a pedestrian or two, Xiao Yueluo held the transformed head wolf and walked slowly forward.
"I always feel a little depressed, and there is a faint smell of blood."
"It's normal, after all, this has just experienced a war, and ...... Looking around, I'm afraid it will take a long time to recover. ”
The houses next to them bear the signs of repair, and there are several buildings that have burned down and collapsed, which Xiao Yueluo can easily distinguish with her memory, a few civilian residences, and a shop in the form of a grocery store. Xiao Yueluo, the owner of these buildings, is not very familiar with it, at most she has seen a few times and said a few words, but now the faces of those people are very clearly reflected in her mind, and they will not disappear for a long time.
"Let's go......"
Sighing slightly, after a short stay, Xiao Yueluo took another step, this time she didn't plan to find a hotel to stay, but ......
"Boss, have a glass of ale and a guest room."
"This guest, we are a tavern, not a hotel, if you want to drink, you can do enough, the guest room is really not."
The owner of the tavern was a middle-aged man, dressed in a linen jacket, and his curly hair looked a little messy because it had not been taken care of for many years.
Looking at the woman with a black hat in front of him, the tavern owner twitched the corner of his mouth directly, he has been in business for so many years, he has seen all kinds of people, and he can also understand the practice of covering his face with a hat, but ...... It was really the first time he had come to ask for a guest room. If it weren't for the face of the small silver coin handed to him, he would have blasted people out long ago.
“……”
The person in front of him was silent, and the tavern owner sighed and pushed the ale with a plate of dried meat in front of the woman: "Although I don't know why you don't come to the hotel, I really don't have a room here for people to live in." ”
"Grace." Fingers tapped slightly on the counter, but the woman's slowly spit out the name made the tavernkeeper's body stiffen slightly.
"Who are you?" The cloudy eyes seemed to be unsealed, and they instantly became sharp. Grace, it was his name, but he hadn't used those three words for a long time, and it could even be said that those who knew it had long since faded from his memory.
"Evelina."
"Evelina...... Evey...... Lina ......" Grace kept muttering these four words with her head down, but it didn't take long for her to look up at the person in front of her in shock, "You, you are ......"
