Chapter 116: The Flame Desert

In the carriage, Dio took out the experience that Antonie gave him, read it carefully, and Sophia on the side saw Dio's fascination and asked curiously: "Dio, what are you looking at?"

"Love letters. Dio said without raising his head.

"Love letter?for you?" Sophia felt even more strange in her heart, she was not worried about Dio, her relationship over the years made her not afraid of any challenge, she not only had confidence in Dio, but also in herself, she was just wondering, who was so bold, did she really think that the old lady was easy to bully?

"Hmm. Theo said.

"Who wrote it to you?" asked Sophia.

"Lady Anthony. ”

Sophia was stunned, then gave Dio a blank look, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and ignored Dio.

Dio waited for a long time, and when he saw that Sophia didn't move, he shook his head: "It's really boring......"

"What should I do to make it interesting for you?" Sophia asked with a smile.

"You should be angry and question me. ”

"What do I want from you?" Sophia said angrily, "Also, don't make fun of Lady Anthony in the future, she is a hard-working woman." ”

"Aren't we the two of us alone now? Dio said, "But you should question me, aren't you angry at all?"

"Then should I still cry and beg you, don't abandon me?"

"It's a bit overdone, but ...... It's not impossible. Theo said.

"Die!" Sophia kicked Dio in hatred.

"The taste is right, but it's not enough. Dio retracted his legs: "A little more spicy." ”

Sophia was really helpless, and she suddenly found that Dio didn't seem to be as calm as she imagined.

"Isn't it that I have to pester you every day, crying and crying about something, even making trouble unreasonably, so that you feel satisfied?" Sophia said.

"Once in a while, it's nothing, it's all a spice in life. Dio said: "But if you do it all the time, it will not be very new, and it will be easy to get bored." ”

"You men......" Sophia sighed, "no matter how good things are, sooner or later they will become unfresh, what are you going to do then?"

Dio smiled, then slowly put Antony's letter away and beckoned to Sophia, who moved closer and leaned gently against Dio's side.

"Just kidding you. Dio reached out and put his arm around Sophia's shoulder, and whispered, "You know, if I had a choice, I'd rather live in our manor forever." ”

"You mean...... You left the manor just because you had no choice?" Sophia looked at Dio earnestly.

"Hmm. ”

"Why? Who is forcing you? Is it me?" said Sophia, who had never reflected on this before, but Duncan and Anthony were a living example, and she wondered if she had put pressure on Theo.

"It's not. ”

"Why?" asked Sophia, she had to figure it out.

Dio looked elsewhere, and Sophia grabbed Dio's face and forcibly pulled Dio back, and the eyes of the two people collided inexorably.

At this moment, the door of the carriage was dragged open, and then, Raymond jumped in, and when he saw Dio and Sophia, his figure immediately became stiff, and at this moment Sophia was sticking to Dio's chest, holding Dio's face with both hands, judging from the back, it was asking for a kiss.

Raymond's posture was a little embarrassed, he had already stepped into the carriage with one foot, but the other foot was hanging outside, holding the door with both hands, neither entering nor retreating, and he didn't know what to say, he was in a daze.

Dio raised his hand to see a wind blade, and Raymond reacted with a strange scream, and his body flipped backwards at the same time.

Sophia blushed and hurried away from Dio and sat down in the corner.

"Raymond, what are you doing?" Gordon's voice came from outside.

"Ah...... I didn't do anything. Raymond replied hesitantly.

"You didn't do anything, why did Dio attack you?" Gordon clearly didn't believe it.

"I'm grass...... I want to ask him!" Raymond exclaimed.

"What are Dio and Sophia doing?" said Gordon, changing the subject.

"See for yourself. Raymond said.

"They...... It's a little inconvenient, isn't it?" Gordon lowered his voice, he vaguely guessed the reason, it might be that the reckless Raymond had disturbed the two-person world.

"Convenient, so convenient. Raymond said, "They were still drinking just now." ”

"What kind of wine are you drinking at this time?" asked Gordon, suspiciously.

"I don't believe you can see for yourself. "Raymond is determined to fool Gordon into the car.

Gordon glanced at Raymond and hurried towards Dio and Sophia's carriage, the door of the carriage that had been pulled open by Raymond just now had not yet closed, he reached out and knocked on the door, and then jumped into the carriage.

"You and Raymond can't stay still?" said Theo.

"No, it's not. Gordon said, "I just want to come and talk to you." ”

Raymond outside waited for a long time, and the show didn't start, which made him very disappointed, it was boring to stay alone, and after hesitating for a moment, he still quickly caught up with the carriage.

This time he did not rush to jump up, but poked his head in first, and saw that Dio and Gordon were talking about something, and seemed to be fine, and then he got into the carriage.

Dio didn't pay attention to Raymond, and Sophia didn't care, Raymond felt a little bored, stayed for a while, and finally couldn't help but talk: "Dio, you're not right!"

"What did I do wrong?" said Theo, "did I not treat Gordon as I did you, or what?"

Raymond scratched his scalp, Dio and Sophia are in a group, if they don't unite Gordon, the end will definitely not be good, Raymond laughed dryly, and immediately changed the topic: "By the way, Sophia, where are we going?"

"Cross the Black River, all the way north, back to the Plains of Chris. Sophia said, although her expression was calm, but her heart was beating extremely fast, after all, she was a girl, her shame was conceivable, of course, Sophia had enough self-cultivation, otherwise she would have kicked Raymond out of the car.

"Going all the way north, wouldn't that be going through the Desert of Fire?" Raymond exclaimed, "Why are you going to that hell place? We can't get through the desert with so many wagons?"

"We're not going through the desert, we're going along the edge of the desert. Sophia corrected.

"I've heard that there are a lot of sand pirates there. Raymond said, "It's too dangerous, isn't it?"

"What's there in the Flame Desert?" Sophia laughed, "There are no fields, no cities, no trade routes, few pedestrians, is there a future for bandits there?"

"But I heard ......"

"Fedez has been there. Sophia said: "Most of the people gathered there are some wanderers, and there are very few samurai, even if they want to be robbers, they have no combat power. ”

"Why don't they go somewhere else?" asked Gordon in surprise, "As long as you are willing to work hard, you should not worry about eating and drinking, how can you run away into the desert?"

"There are many reasons, and Fedeers didn't tell me in detail. Sophia said: "Some are persecuted and hostile to the nobility as a class, and they would rather live freely in a barren land than be attached to the nobility, and some have offended the powerful and have no choice but to flee to that place." ”

"In places like this, the situation is often very complicated. Raymond said.

"I know. Sophia said, "But we can only go from there, do we want to go straight through the desert?"

"Then ......" Raymond thought for a moment, "I'm just making a suggestion, specifically, you should make up your mind, by the way, do you have wine?" In fact, his intention was not to change Sophia's plan, but to create an opportunity to rely here.

Sophia glanced at Raymond helplessly, took out a bottle of wine from the wooden box in the corner of the box, and threw it to Raymond.

Raymond took a few sips, his eyes rolling from side to side, looking for a topic.

Raymond usually always shouts that he is very smart and cautious, as if nothing can stump him, but he is most afraid of two things, he has nothing to do and nothing to say, the former can barely bear it, but the latter can kill him.

This was just the beginning, and every day after that, Raymond and Gordon spent time in Sophia's carriage, completely ruining the warm world of the little couple.

In fact, Gordon doesn't like to talk very much, and he quarrels with Raymond, most of them are forced to be helpless and have to fight back, and sometimes he preemptively fires first, just to retaliate against Raymond. And Raymond grew up under the care of dozens of sisters, if a woman is equal to five hundred ducks, then there are at least ten thousand ducks around Raymond, and it is completely conceivable how terrible his living environment is. Whether it's tempering or torture, anyway, year after year, Raymond has finally practiced the ability to go from morning to night, perhaps, this is no longer a matter of preference, but a habit, an instinct.

Let these two people stay in a carriage, the result is inevitable, Gordon endured it, finally couldn't help it, and then ran to Dio's side, of course Raymond will not be left alone, he will go crazy, as a result, the two people got into Dio's carriage with their feet in front of their feet, and then, Dio's side began to be lively again.

Fortunately, Dio has practiced a very special skill in more than ten years, he can close the six senses at will, even if Raymond yells in his ear, he will not be affected, but Sophia, it is very valuable, no matter how much Raymond and Gordon quarrel, she can also be at ease, you know, Sophia does not have Theo's ability to close the six senses, she relies on the tenacity of the heart.

Time flew by in the noise, crossing the Black River from the ferry, and then continuing northward, walking for more than ten days, and the gradually thinning vegetation told them that they were close to the desert.
