Chapter 9: The World of Hope
【Principality of Arlan 2015】
【Outside Wenti County】
A lizard dragon car creaked violently, walking quickly through the rugged mountains, the clatter of the wheels colliding in the rocks, the sound of the car echoing in the valley, and the square wooden hut on the car exerted magic, so smooth that even the water did not ripple, and the grass on both sides of the mountain road was dry.
"Faster! Ansha! The driver seemed to be calling out the name of the lizard dragon, looking rather urgent, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, and the blood mud sticking to his hair, making his smooth hair messy in the wind like dead grass.
"Lalfa! How long are we going to run? A blonde woman in the cabin asked at the window, there was a little baby sleeping on her lap, and there was nothing too important in the room, only a mattress and a quilt, and a few small toys that seemed to be used to amuse the baby.
They were on the run, two whole months of escape, the lizard dragon ran tirelessly, big roads, small roads, mountain roads, waterways, everything, other means of transportation were either expensive, or would be traced to the traces of magic, for them on the run, it was absolutely unacceptable. This lizard dragon was supposed to be the best means of transportation for training, but now it is also teetering on the verge of collapse.
Larfa could not answer his wife's question, where would the outlaw have a safe place? Escaped from Rastar, and got through a difficult time, but where is the end? Maybe only by escaping to the ends of the earth can we escape their pursuit!
Lalfa lit a Rastale specialty cigarette, he grabbed the reins and put the cigarette into his dry and thirsty mouth, his recently tanned face was dry and cracked, and he didn't have the vigor of two months ago, and a long puff of smoke slowly rolled out of the tip of his nose, with a rhythm slowly speeding up. This is also the last Rastale cigarette, and I am afraid that I will not have this opportunity to enjoy it in the future.
"Arya, dear, do you regret it? I mean, do you regret following me? He asked lightly, this man's mental defense has undergone subtle changes, perhaps only an inconsequential straw can crush this exhausted "camel".
"What are you talking about! Larfa! "Elena squatted on the windowsill, stroking the baby's cheek, the little baby pouted and fell asleep peacefully, the baby's eyes have a little edged and angular, and she must be a big beauty when she grows up." As long as I can be by your side, I am satisfied, although I was born in a noble family in Rastar, I was arranged to grow up since I was a child, and there is no freedom, but I now understand that only by following you can I feel happy! With you, I understand the true meaning of life, you have given me unprecedented love, so precious, I have never regretted falling in love with you, and I will never regret it, not now, not in the future! "Elea's long golden hair was blown by the passing breeze, and she had just become a mother with a girlish little dimple, and her somewhat weak lips did not make her look weak, but unusually great." Larfa, you know what? I'm still happy now, and even now, I still feel like I'm the happiest woman in the world! Her tender eyes blurred as she spoke, and tears dripped on the child's fat face. But she didn't make a sound, she cried not because of herself, but because of this little life.
"After this mountain, it's Wenti County, I don't want to run away!" Larfa understands Elea's current mood in her heart, she has just given birth to a child, she is weak, for the sake of the child, she naturally can't be like this helpless wandering, and why don't she think so, it would be great if she could stabilize it!
How important a stable home is for a woman!
Owning a home is also a lifelong responsibility for men! He couldn't go on the run.
"Let's live incognito in the countryside of Wenti County, I will erase the mark of the magician and live as an ordinary person" Ralfa threw away the cigarette and drove the lizard dragon faster: "For the sake of you and the child, I must make a choice" Ralfa stared firmly at the road ahead, a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Are you willing to remarry an ordinary person Larfa?" My dear Area! Even if I have nothing, even if I will only be an ordinary person! Even if I'm an outlaw! "On the rocky road in the mountains, the birds in the valley are scattered and singing, like the blessing of a wedding cheering for the newlyweds in the open field.
"I do, of course I do, my Lalfa!" Arya came to the dragon cart and sat down on the side of Larfa, snuggling up to him. She leaned so tight that nothing could separate them anymore.
Birds fluttered in the blue sky, spreading their wings around them, singing cheerful songs, the happy pair of wall people put their heads against each other, Larfa held Arya's hand with one hand, neither of them spoke again, the lizard dragon car was panting, and it also slowed down tacitly, so that the vehicle was smooth and not bumpy, and the escape for two months was really difficult, just like a moment of rest now is like a luxury.
The two are next to each other, enjoying each other's warmth.
How nice it would be if it were eternity now. But cruel things still hit slowly. The cruel reality shouldn't come so quickly, but it can't be avoided!
The vermilion light covered the entire sky like a curtain, and in a short time it was full of red.
It's firelight! Soaring fire! It's like a huge fireball of a meteor outside the sky dragging a long black flame tail, and the flames it brings are rolling, and the middle of it cuts across the sky above the two of them! The hot heat washed the hair of the two men into a mess.
"Be careful! Area! "Ralfa Ring Arms and Shoulders protect Arya from the impact of the air waves, and the Lizard Dragon Car is almost overwhelmed by the powerful heat wave! Ralfa pulled out his hand again and held the reins! The flammable hay around it was instantly lit, at first sporadically on fire, then in patches, and flames raging around the lizard dragon cart!
It's crazy! Arya rushed into the wooden hut to pick up the sleeping child, rubbed her face lightly against the baby's face, the baby slowly opened her eyes, hot tears fell on her face, she didn't know what it was, but as soon as she opened her eyes, it was her mother, she was babbling happily, noisy. A tiny hand touched Elia's reddened nose. It was as if he was comforting her.
Arya finally couldn't stop crying, she had never cried in the past few months when she was hunted down by someone sent by her brother, and she gave birth to little Erica on the way to escape without the slightest painful moan, she thought that she could always be strong, even if the ordeal broke her body, it would never break her spirit, but now, as a mother, she cried and hugged her child tightly.
Seconds ago, she and her children were on the verge of death!
Ralfa looked at all this, unable to calm down for a long time, and the heart that had just been settled was suddenly pierced like a sharp sword, and suddenly a stone that could not fall again was suspended. It seems like I had a beautiful dream a few seconds ago! In the dream, they snuggled together, but now that they woke up, the majestic flame could not be more real, and it would only take a few minutes for them to be roasted alive and die! He began to panic, he had never panicked before, and the fire was like killing the three of them!
It really can't go on like this! They can't let their mother and daughter do this again!
As a magician's instinct, it was clear that this huge fireball was not coming at the two of them! The fireball rushed straight in the direction they were heading, and that was the direction of [Wenti County]!
I don't have time to think about it so much! The tense nerves told him that the top priority now was to get the mother and daughter out of this hell of flames!
Don't panic! Larfa! Don't panic!
"Water!" "Water!" "Lalfa, water!!" Larfa shouted to himself!
He stretched out his hand, and the scepter appeared, and on the way to escape, the wand was broken, and the philosopher's stone carved on it was dull, the scepter that had been his glory! Today's devastation is inevitable.
[Wow]! Blue magic patterns run through the body! A humming low chirp.
The water flowed around the wand, and the column of water rushing into the sky was evaporated by the flames in an instant, emitting a thick mist, which was mixed with the surrounding smoke and could no longer be distinguished. The water column that already resembled a super dragon surrounded the lizard dragon cart, its body constantly consumed by the heat wave, and constantly replenished by Lalfa. It stood tall and encircled enough to envelop the three people on the side of the dragon cart, blocking out all the smoke and flames. It's just that the water dragon has the appearance of a giant dragon, and it is far less powerful than the dragon.
The water dragon was controlled by Ralfa and tried to spray a jet of water to extinguish the flame encirclement that had formed at one end, Arya sat on the dragon cart with the baby in her arms, and Ralfa led the dragon cart and tried to move next to the water dragon, but the tumbling flames still did not retreat in the slightest, or rather, had no effect.
This is a matter of course, Ralfa's magical energy is almost exhausted, and with the broken wand, the water dragon is not even able to exert its strength at all. And it is because the consumption of fire is starting to get smaller.
"Oops! This fire has a great origin! Ralfa yelled that something was wrong, and he hurriedly manipulated the water dragon to envelop the three of them to prevent them from being burned by the heat. Arya quietly followed him with the baby in her arms, her eyes as if she was already dying.
The sudden wildfire was like a disaster punished by heaven, and it was a huge fireball that landed in Wenti County, and it was defenseless to quickly surround Larfa in this mysterious flame and could not do anything.
Even enemies should show up!
The heat wave is coming in waves, and the water dragon's recovery speed is almost unable to keep up with the heat flow of the attack, and it is dissipating little by little.
With a wave of his hand, a massive wall of ice stood out in front of him, surrounded by blue magical lines, blocking the water dragon from the flames.
Two seventh-order magic spells to deal with a small mountain fire may be too overkill, but this fire has no intention of weakening in the slightest.
"Ansha!" Larfa grabbed the reins of the dragon cart and slowly moved along the ice wall, the water dragon's feet turned into water when it condensed, sliding and moving on the ice wall, slowly following closely, blocking the flames and smoke with its huge body, the water dragon and the ice wall were like bases and moving sculptures.
As Arya closed the doors and windows, she saw Larfa struggling to move forward, and the sheer supply of mana that sustained the high-level magic made him look miserable. Even though the heat of the flame had been blocked, there was sweat the size of beans on his cheeks, and the sweat ran down the flawless chapped skin, bringing Larfa's sigh of pain.
"Lal Fa"
The fire burned everything around them, and the fire swelled violently against the water dragon and the ice wall, but fortunately, the area surrounding them was not too long, which was also a small mercy from the heavens. The wall of ice condensed in Lalfa's place as it moved, rapidly forming a new wall of ice.
"It's okay, Elia, I'll be out right now." It's useless to complain, this mysterious fire has already taken place, and the top priority is to get out safely.
In this way, the water dragon slowly slid and the dragon cart walked slowly, initially out of the range of the mountain fire, but the mountain fire was still spreading, and soon, this safe area would also be surrounded by the mountain fire.
Don't stop for a moment!
Larfa gritted his teeth and turned over on the dragon cart, "Ansha, thank you for your hard work, rack!" With a flick of the reins, Ansa ran, her hard soles stepping on the rocks and leaping over, the water dragon and the ice wall were still moving around it, but the water dragon became very small, and could only wrap around the wooden hut and the dragon cart, and the ice wall began to become thin, and occasionally a stream of flames rushed into the ice wall, hitting the water dragon's body, and smoke began to come in.
"Rack! Ansha! We need to be faster! "The dragon cart runs on the rugged wildfire road, like an outlaw ant, escaping the threat of death.
They are outlaws.
The surrounding fire and smoke blend with the sunrise, and if it weren't for the dancing flames, the overwhelming red would really be like the beauty of the morning sun shining on the earth, bathing everything here in the sun.
The sound of the lizard's dragon cart hitting the ground was getting louder and faster, and shouts, cries, and screams could be heard not far away, and that was the village that had been hit like a meteor fireball!
That's the village that this mountain road must pass through! The dangers ahead could be even more dangerous. Lalfa was heartbroken. Gritted his teeth, he glanced at the hut behind him, and then at the blazing scene ahead. He sensed that an even greater crisis was coming.
【Musse Village, Wenti County】
The flames were burning, everything was so abominable, the smoke was billowing and wailing everywhere. Everywhere there was a tragic sight of huge fires. The shouts, cries, and screams came and went, even the marble walls were charcoal-grilled and hot, and the humble fire extinguishing measures could not extinguish the flames from the sky, and the small low-level magicians could not even save themselves when they joined forces, so they could only let the wind rage, the flames rolled, and the red flames and the rising sun together made the whole place extremely gorgeous.
The culprit of such a tragedy stood upright in the square in the middle of the village, it floated in the air, swirling in the huge crater that had been smashed by the fall, and the flames rolled around it, and when you looked closely, there was some smooth texture. Flesh rolled inside it, and soon, two hands emerged from the fireball, followed by a strong white light that repelled the red light and covered everything that had just been red. A long-haired man with huge red wings limped out, holding a baby in his arms, his severed arm half-hanging in the air, his eyebrows were high, his eagle eyebrows were sword-eyed, and his erect pupils were shining even at this time. The close-fitting red Chinese long clothes dragged on the ground full of flames without a trace of damage, but just like the flames were the decoration on the long clothes. The wings behind him drooped weakly, hanging behind him, without the slightest vitality. He looked around, the pain in his body made him clench his teeth, the slightest pity flashed in his eyes, the scars on his body were about to crush him, and he limped step by step looking for a way forward, the pain became more and more throughout his body, and dizziness followed, like a dense stubborn worm tearing at his whole spinal cord. Even so, he muttered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
The fire started because of him, but it was too late for him to feel guilty, he didn't know if he could find a safe place, the baby sleeper in his arms, the white clothes were white and clean, but it looked like they had been torn from some small piece of clothing.
He limped slowly, sometimes almost toppling and staggering, but in the end he still didn't.
Little master, little master
On a dusty mound, before the flames had spread, he fell with a thud, and there was no movement, and the baby in his arms was thrown out. Fortunately, the baby was lucky enough to avoid the sharp rocks buried by the years in the dust.
A fast-moving lizard dragon car stopped safely on the sand dunes, the dragon-shaped water column was like a film attached to the square wood-like hut, a blonde woman noticed a small baby and a dying red-eyed eagle in the car, she quickly got out of the car and picked up the baby, and even almost fell out of a stumble, the black-haired driver picked up the eagle and came to her side, looking at this little life. Tears had moistened their eyes as they saw a sight they would never forget. Not far away, it seemed to be a hell on earth, knocking on their already fragile psychological defenses little by little.
"Larfa!" Sobing, she leaned on the man's shoulder for comfort. The man stroked her long hair and hugged her tightly
Maybe that's the way the world is, the sudden change of fate has caused her to suffer a months-long escape journey, the injuries she has suffered, the tribulations she has encountered have been too many, the sadness seems to be unable to express the mood at this time, suddenly, she stopped crying, because she saw the rising sun as red as a flame so moving.
It's like hope.
