Chapter 45: The Unreasonable Kitten
Sophia walked alone through the rotten and dirty streets of Loraine, and the potholes and dirt roads beneath her feet meant that she had to walk carefully with the black robes she wore or she would probably step on them and fall, while she was flanked by the town's bazaar, if it could be called a bazaar— Sophia had never seen such a deserted market, there were no dazzling shops on both sides of the road, and there were no stalls selling goods on the street, just wooden baskets, and the wooden baskets contained black and slimy items, and Sophia couldn't name them at all, and what shocked Sophia especially was the people who sold goods behind the wooden baskets, they didn't shout like the imperial vendors, and they didn't have a smile full of expectation on their faces, some, just numbness and coldness, even if they saw Sophia walking in front of their wooden basket, they just stared at Sophia with lifeless eyes, but there was no reaction。 Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In front of a stone house in the middle of the street, a frail and skinny child squatted in front of a stone house that Sophia didn't know, and he saw Sophia, his eyes full of vigilance.
Where is the look that a child should have.
Sophia's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as she walked, she was the little princess of Constantine, one of the five giants on the table of the Holy Empire, not to mention a scene full of death like the one in front of her, even the most filthy civilians in the imperial capital, she had never seen it, she knew that there were poor people, rich people, nobles and commoners in this world, but where could she have thought that there would be such a scene in this world? She always thought that being born in the Constantine family, having such a father was already her greatest misfortune, but how could she have thought that compared to here, even if she was in a gorgeous cage, she could really be called the happiest group of people in the world?
Is there really such a big difference between the hardships of life and the hardships of survival?
Sophia's eyes were full of sympathy and pity.
But of course, that's about it.
She knew at a very young age that she couldn't change her life, she couldn't change her environment, she didn't even have any ability to save her life, how could she save the lives of others?
She walked silently through the street, towards the end of the street.
Suddenly, Sophia felt as if there was always a gaze behind her, so she turned abruptly, but unsurprisingly, she was still in sight of the dead, dirty street.
Of course, she could not see the gazes she felt, for the owners of those gazes were well hidden behind the stone houses in the street before she turned around.
It was a few ragged but sturdy men, and Alfred's territory had nothing to do with peace in recent times, and there were a mix of civilians from various family territories, all kinds of criminals and all kinds of outcasts, plus the wasteland itself was a breeding ground for evil, and it was only natural that no matter how much ugliness was brewing.
These men followed Sophia as early as when she appeared in Luolan Town, and the desire flashing in their eyes could not be seen from their tailgating, too, although she was dressed in a black robe to cover most of her face, her graceful posture and white and tender skin in the eyes of these men were enough to ignite their desires, coupled with Sophia's posture when she walked carefully, no matter how knowledgeable the homeless people were, they could easily feel the unearthliness of this woman, so if Sophia, who was traveling alone, could not be touched by accident at all, it would be really intolerable for the wasteland, a place of evil。
Out of the bazaar streets.
Seeing that the black-robed girl seemed to speed up her pace, the men in the tail line finally couldn't hold back their desires, they looked at each other, and no longer concealed their tail line, and rushed out as soon as they tried to surround the girl.
But after all, she is the little princess of Constantine.
As early as Sophia turned around, she sensed that something was wrong, and gradually increased her pace, which was a good way to hide the inexplicable fear in her heart, she was trying to get away from this dirty place as fast as possible, so even if she didn't seem to be able to do it, a few ugly men would soon catch up with her, but she wouldn't panic after all.
She stopped suddenly, and her beautiful face was completely exposed to the eyes of the men as her veil was blown off by the wind as she ran.
The sound of heavy breathing made Sophia frown in disgust.
Her hands also condensed the power of light to the greatest extent.
She is the most gifted 'Redemption' mage under the Fourth Law, and although 'Redemption' herself is not good at attacking, it is obviously easy to deal with a few outcasts.
The ball of light formed instantly, and even in the daytime, when Sophia threw the ball of light into the air, it was still like a round of the sun close at hand.
A few of the despicable outcasts immediately felt their eyes burn, and then they howled and roared, and their eyes seemed to be blind.
"Damn! it's a witch!"
"Catch her, burn her, can't let this damn witch go!"
The roar fell on Sophia's ears, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, the most sacred power of the Holy See of Light was actually considered to be a witch?
There really is nothing wrong with her taunts, but the question is, where is there any light and what darkness is there in the wasteland?
So, just as Sophia had just quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she quickly fell into real trepidation and horror.
The originally empty and lifeless street, it seemed to be directly awakened by the word witch, in front of Sophia, on the left and right behind her, at some point, a large group of people suddenly appeared, they brandished hoes, sickles and other weapons in their hands, and unabashedly their hatred rushed towards Sophia, as if the girl in front of them was the ugliest and most cruel witch at all.
Sophia suddenly panicked, no matter how powerful her mind was, how could she ever encounter such a situation?
Were these people in front of her really human beings, human beings bathed in the light of the Lord?
She wanted to escape, but there were vicious crowds on all sides, where could she escape? she wanted to condense her light magic power again, but she was so flustered that she couldn't even pronounce the spell clearly.
The crowd was getting closer, and Sophia was finally trembling.
However, she still bit her lip stubbornly, her face never revealed the fear in her heart, she was still proud and arrogant, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to condense her light magic power again.
Then, in the end, it was a gifted girl who even admired Mass, and the power of light magic finally wrapped around her, although the large-scale magic power was far less lethal than her condensed ball of light, but Sophia, whose entire body was shrouded in light power, was indeed dazzling instantly, even if the eyes of the outcasts would not be substantially harmed, but they had to subconsciously cover their eyes and slow down their pace.
Sophia knew she only had this one chance.
She turned around and was about to rush out of the crowd in desperation.
But at this moment, accompanied by a neat sound of horses' hooves, a knight group of about 50 people rushed in, and after the knights appeared in Sophia's field of vision, they directly crashed into the crowd at the first time, regardless of how many people were knocked away and how many people were killed by the strong force, after a burst of people and horses turned up, the knights quickly approached Sophia, and protected Sophia tightly in the center of the knights in a circle.
Sophia looked back in amazement, and at a glance she saw the face of the young man who was always calm and confident, which she hated.
Especially the sneer and ridicule that the latter showed at this time made Sophia subconsciously clench her fists and clench her teeth.
......
"What a proud kitten. ”
Augustus, who drove the wheelchair slowly, secretly sighed, and indeed did not hide his mockery, but to be honest, he really admired and admired this little princess of Constantine in his heart, even in this situation, she could still maintain her pride and calmness, but it was really not something that ordinary small flowers in a greenhouse could do, it seemed that the little princess that the Mass governor attached great importance to was also quite independent; but of course, admiration is one thing, disgust is another, Augustus was disgusted at the beginning of this little princess came to the wasteland itself because of these messy accidents, he was very busy, and he had no time to clean up the mess with this proud princess, and didn't bother to ensure the safety of her patrol.
His wheelchair ended up on the outskirts of the homeless, calmly watching the blood-soaked chaos, and he chose to wait.
Soon, the lord of Lorraine Town, Baron Leo, hurriedly arrived, as soon as the baron, who was once a knight of Alfred's servant, appeared, he took the lead in directing his escort team to clean up the mess, and then walked behind Augustus's wheelchair tremblingly, he wanted to express his apologies and guilt at the first time, but what he didn't expect was that he didn't have a chance to speak, Augustus took the lead in apologizing, saying: "Sorry Baron, I've caused you trouble." ”
Leo was stunned, remembering the iron blood and dictatorship of the young Earl at the meeting of Alfred, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Augustus didn't say anything more to him, but when Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia, who was still cold, came over, he drove the wheelchair back.
He walked ahead, Sophia followed.
Augustus was puzzled, he inadvertently turned around and clearly noticed that Sophia was still trembling, this is very undeserved, right?
Augustus, who didn't look back, said casually: "The next time you go on patrol, you should actually bring at least a few knights, the wasteland and the empire are different." ”
It was an ordinary sentence, but who would have thought that such a simple sentence would make Her Royal Highness Sophia suddenly lose control.
Like a kitten being stepped on by the tail, Sophia suddenly stopped and said very quickly: "Why do you leave your castle whenever I want, I can go wherever I want, what does it have to do with you? Am I your prisoner? Why do I have to take the knight out? Do I need you to arrange my path?"
Augustus, who had also stopped driving the wheelchair, was really puzzled, and he turned to stare at Sophia, who was trembling and unusually excited, for a long time before he came to a conclusion.
He frowned and said calmly, "Unreasonable. ”
