Soul Echo

Out of the city along the unfinished road, Lillian, sitting on horseback, looked back at the level behind her.

The temple guards in full body armor are standing in the city gate with muskets in hand.

The city gate is completely closed, and the inside and outside of the city become two worlds.

Besides Belgrade, Lillian was the first time in another city for so long.

But the city didn't bring her many good memories. Most of the memories she could remember were about sadness and destruction. Even Zhong Ye almost died.

These memories were buried deep in her mind as she left the city, and Lillian didn't want her to open up these memories again.

The roads outside the city are also quite dilapidated. This area has not been ignited by the fire, but has experienced the ravages of the aberrations. Now it has become potholes, with pits and raised clods everywhere.

Half-collapsed or ruined houses on both sides of the road can be seen everywhere, the dull blood soaked into the soil, leaving many traces that are horrible to see.

Looking at these things, Lillian's mind fell down after just relaxing.

She looked down the road, and at the end, she didn't see any people.

Feeling the emotions of the students, Zhong Ye didn't look back and said softly: "Everyone here has been contained in the city. Before confirming that they have not been called by the abyss, Milan will not be open to the public, and outsiders will be blocked. If you refuse to leave the city, the people in the city will not be able to leave."

Hearing this, Lilian felt better, but her mood was still a little gloomy.

People shouldn't have to endure this kind of hardship, but now she has suffered such an unwarranted disaster, and she has to feel sad and angry at the same time... albeit only a little.

From Milan to Turin, you need to go around or climb over a mountain. If you choose to go over directly, you will encounter a small town on the way into the mountains.

This small town is part of Milan in a broad sense, so it is not far from Milan.

In the past, this small town was just a resting place in the business road. Although it was lively, it was not as 'noisy' as it is now.

Businessmen cannot enter Milan and can only gather in this small town, so that now there are more outsiders than residents in this town, and many wood houses have been added outside the town, and the wood used in those wood houses is not After so much processing, it can be seen at a glance that it is new.

The Archduke is dead, the Gloria family also perished under Ramite's conspiracy, Milan lost its heir, and now the church and the surviving nobles control the affairs of the whole of Milan.

They stipulate that no one can leave Milan, but even if half of the people die, there are still more than 100,000 people in the city of Milan.

The daily consumption of such a huge number of people is an astronomical figure. If the door is kept closed and outsiders are not allowed to enter, most of these people will starve to death.

Therefore, the church and the noble council have designated two locations as the distribution center for the transaction to carry out unified procurement and transportation.

This move also prevents foreign businessmen from losing everything, just as a preparation for the reopening of Milan in the future.

Right now, the town Zhong Ye and the others came to is one of the designated distribution centers. The not-so-spacious streets were crowded with people, cars and horses. The merchants and their bodyguards were clamoring to go to the other side of the street. , but so did the others, only in the opposite direction.

The strange hustle and bustle has brought a lot of vigor and vitality to this town. Because it was not disturbed by the aberrations, the residents of the town lived peacefully and peacefully, lying by the window. Watch the clamor of the streets below.

Coming here, Lilian's gloomy mood finally got a little relief, and her heart was infected by this very lively.

They didn't go into the town, because Zhong Ye had already bought all the necessities for travel when he was in the city, and now he just took the road to the mountains called 'Golden Sparrow'.

Around the town, a wide main street appears in front of you.

At this time, a long queue of caravans was walking out from the foot of the mountain. Zhong Ye and the others passed by the caravan, sitting on horseback. Lilian could see the guards who were well-equipped but sloppy. and mercenaries patrolling the ranks, and curious faces behind the manned carriage windows can also be seen.

Xu Shi noticed her gaze, and the teenager who leaned towards the window retracted his head, and only after she and Zhong Ye passed the carriage did she stick out her head again, dumbfounded. Looking at Lilian's back.

Just like that, Zhong Ye and Lilian walked into the mountains with a caravan that was leaving the town.

Looking around, this mountain road is unexpectedly flat and wide.

However, this is not difficult to understand. Milan and Turin are the second and fifth largest cities in Etrull. The road between the two cities, even if it is a mountain road, can It has long been trampled to the ground by the caravan.

even more how The road between the mountains is not long. If you enter in the morning, you don't even need to spend the night in the mountains, you can leave the mountains in the evening.

Otherwise, how could businessmen who advocate efficiency open up this business route?

Walking among the mountains, the fragrance of grass and trees lingers on the tip of the nose, and the restless mood gradually calms down.

Lilian watched the sun slide westward. The caravan that was walking in front of them had long since disappeared, and the quiet forest scene gradually became gloomy as time passed.

The thick shadows spread out, and the last ray of sky light reflected the shadows of the trees, as if something was hiding inside and peeping at them.

Thinking of this, Lillian couldn't help shivering.

Fortunately, Zhong Ye bought a horse lantern before, so that they can keep a square inch of light around them. As long as they don't look at the scene at the end of the light, they won't feel scared.

It didn't take long for them to discover several wood houses built by the roadside by businessmen who often traveled here. Carriage and cargo can be pulled in.

Of course, although merchants only stay here for one night, eat, drink, shit and piss are always unavoidable to make smells. People in this era are not so particular. In order to protect their property, most farmers, They even keep livestock in the house and live with them.

Fortunately, after they stepped into this mountain road, there were no caravans before and after, and there was no need to 'partnership', otherwise Zhong Ye would rather stand the cold wind than live with those merchants.

Choose a house with less smell, Zhong Ye and Lilian drove the horses in first, and then squatted at a place more than ten meters away from the houses for dinner.

The lantern hangs on a branch not far away. Zhong Ye is exercising and teaching while waiting for the house to be ventilated.

When the cold wind brought the first coldness of the night, and the breath turned into frost, Zhong Ye asked Lilian to put away her posture and went back to the room to wipe off the sweat from her body, but she was standing in the quiet forest. In the middle, look up at the moon with Bai Ruoningshuang.

The quiet moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and sprinkled lightly on the grass, illuminating the dew condensed on the grass roots.

After watching for a while, Zhong Ye retracted his gaze and walked towards the house.

The boots rubbed the grass and kicked the dew on the grass leaves. When passing a tree, Zhong Ye suddenly drew a knife, stabbed the straight knife into the ground, pulled out the blade, and brought out a piece of exposed area. A gray blood mist that quickly turns into particles in the air.

The wilderness is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will breathe one's last.

Going to the door and knocking on the door, Zhong Ye didn't push the door and walked in until there was a sound of "please come in".

There is nothing in the room except a few wooden beds, but it is also convenient for them.

Looking at Lilian's dazed appearance, Zhong Ye knew that she must have taken over again, but this is not surprising, not everyone can accept this era as easily as he does .

Take off his coat, got into the sleeping bag, closed his eyes, and Zhong Ye fell into a deep sleep.

The disaster made him realize that he was not strong enough. If he was strong enough, he didn't need to run away from Ramite at all, and he didn't need to upgrade the battle, upgrade the attribute, and put himself in the 'impossible'. Take control of the 'dangerous place'.

So, he decided to increase the amount of training in the dream!
