Soul Echo

After helping Zhong Ye carry the last piece of luggage into the carriage, Lilian wiped the nonexistent sweat on her forehead, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice, "teacher, we are here. Are you leaving? That...Princess?"

"She said she would wait for us outside the city."

Zhong Ye put the rope around Jin and tied it tightly, and then Put Jin on the draw horse and connect the draw horse to the carriage.

"Outside the city?" Lillian asked in confusion.

However, Lily Lieber lived in the palace, and the palace was outside the city, so it was not surprising that the Princess chose to meet them outside the city.

Zhong Ye patted pulled the horse's neck so fat and strong that it snorted, then turned around and looked towards Lilian, "Get in the car, it's time to go."

Lilian put her doubts aside, nodded, stepped onto the carriage, looked at Zhong Ye again, and asked, "teacher, where are we going next?"

" I asked Carle Old Mister and Mrs. Pereira to check it out for me. Next, we are going to Vindunum, so we will go out of the city at the west city gate."

Lilian blinked her eyes. , "What are you looking for?"

Zhong Ye hung the long knife beside the driver's seat and looked back in confusion, "Didn't you say you wanted to follow Nemo's paintings? Ann died, the influence still exists, so you can drop by to see if there is anything else that needs to be solved."

Hearing this sentence, Lillian remembered the one she received before. The mission, it was almost a month later, and the mission didn't move, she almost forgot about it, thanks to Zhong Ye still remembering it.

Seeing her dull look, Zhong Ye couldn't help laughing, "Don't you forget?"

Lily looked away vacantly .

Zhong Ye shook his head helplessly, "Get in the car."

When Lilian was seated, Zhong Ye flicked the reins, and the horse pulled away.

It's late winter, and the temperature is getting colder and colder, but the weather is fine today, it hasn't snowed for the first two days, and the sun came out early in the morning, melting the snow on the road a little.

Today's Paris is back to its former bustle, businessmen and factories don't have to worry about debts, and the ropes around people's necks are naturally untied.

This city is no longer a lifeless look. Except for those nobles who still wanted to wait and see, but didn't have time to start, many people had smiles on their faces.

Because the New Year is approaching, the ribbons and flags that have just been taken down have been hung up again. However, because people have consumed it once more than ten days ago, many people have no spare money in their pockets. Consume goods hoarded by merchants.

The merchants might have been desperate a few days ago, but now they have paid off their debts.

Although all the money earned in the whole year or even several years has been lost, at least the life and property have been saved.

There is no business that is guaranteed to make a profit, and even if there is such a business, it is not their turn to do it.

The closed tavern reopened, laughing, drinking and fighting came from the inside along with the melodious singing, and the shops next to it were also shouting.

The sparse number of pedestrians walking on the road is opposite to the endless stream of traffic - these loaded carriages and ox carts will go to other cities to deliver the goods on the carts to other cities. where they are needed.

A child was driven out of the alley by his mother with a wooden stick, his shrill voice provoked passersby and neighbors laughed heartily.

On the other side, two children, one big and one small, were knocking and selling along the street with a basket of charcoal.

Zhong Ye drove the carriage to the side of the road and bought the basket of charcoal. With the thanks of the two brothers, he drove the horse again to make the carriage move.

The wheels rolled forward, leaving two distinct ruts on the road.

Lillian sat in the car, burning the fire, watching the city go away.

She breathed slowly, the white air smeared on the car window, blurring the shadow of the city.

Zhong Ye arrived at the appointed place ten minutes early, he didn't see Lily Lieber's silhouette here, and according to their agreement, if she didn't arrive on time, he could just leave , it's cold after all.

I took out my pocket watch and glanced at it, and quickly stuffed it back into my arms—mechanical watches are quite sensitive to temperature, and exposure to cold wind for a long time may cause the dial to stop, even for a short time. There will be time errors.

Zhong Ye waited silently for twelve minutes, but did not wait for Lily Lieber to arrive, not even a shadow.

He hooked the head, grabbing the reins and giving it a swipe.

The carriage moved, heading for Southwest, the wheels and hooves leaving deep marks in the snow.

Walking towards the southwest direction for a while, Zhong Ye suddenly heard other sounds mixed in with the wind. He listened carefully, but found that it was the sound of horse hooves, and there was a noisy hoof sound coming from behind.

After a while, the sound of hooves was approaching, even Lillian who was sitting in the carriage could hear it. She looked out the window and saw the flying snow behind the carriage.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye, is that you?"

The clear and hoarse, highly recognizable voice rang out, causing Lilian to be stunned for a moment, she thought Lily Lieber won't be coming yet!

Wearing a half-armor and cutting off her long hair, Lily Lieber, who only had sassy short hair, came on a horse, kept pace with the carriage, and saw Zhong sitting in the driver's seat. Ye, his eyes narrowed with a smile, like two crescent moons.

"Finally caught up!"

Lilian was lying by the window, watching Lily Lieber riding on a horse, a valiant and formidable looking with short hair fluttering in the wind , could not help but envy.

That's great...

But then she shivered again, she reacted, and hurriedly checked the barrage, only to find that a lot of people in the live broadcast room had 'betrayed'.

[I want to be Miss Lily's dog], [Who is Lillian? I'm really unfamiliar], [There is only one 'Lily' in this world, and that is Miss Lily Lieber] and the like are everywhere, making Lilian tremble with anger.

Zhong Ye looked at Lily Lieber's hair fluttering in the wind and pondered for a while.

"Aren't you cold?"

"Of course it's cold!" Lily was outspoken and did not hide her enthusiasm at all, "But I heard that many people saw Dame after seeing Dame. Only this side will like them, so I want to try!"

Zhong Ye did not flinch and looked at her fiery eyes, "Is there such a possibility, because They're already lustful? Just guessing, not necessarily right."

Lily blinked, speechless, frowned and distressed, is that so?

Looking at her, Zhong Ye suddenly asked, "You ran out of there without permission?"

"Of course!" The Princess raised her chest proudly, "Although father, he intends to let me go, but as a Princess, I can't embarrass him. It's better for the king to run away privately than for the king to let his daughter become an adventurer."

The palace is heavily guarded, if It wasn't that the king wanted to let her go, she couldn't escape.

Although everyone knew what was going on, at least on the surface, the king's face was saved, and all the fault was on Lily.

"Now that I'm running out, those big nobles can't make a fuss about my marriage and get involved in father's throne. I'm relieved, father is relieved, everyone is happy!"

Happy laughter was scattered in the wind and drifted in all directions.

As far as the identity of 'Princess' is concerned, Lily Lieber is not a tragedy, at least she has the power and ability to choose, just don't know why, making Zhong Ye feel like she is 'strengthening her face' Laughter' pity.

Maybe it's because he can understand the pain of being away from home, having a home and not being able to return, and needing to stay away from parents and close relatives...

After walking for a while, Zhong Ye stopped the carriage, sighed, and said to Lily Lieber of shiver coldly: "You should sit in the carriage."

Lily took a breath, but Lily didn't dare to show her power, so she obediently handed the horse to Zhong Ye , and then got into the carriage with luggage and himself.

Zhong Ye and the horse that Lily gave him looked at each other, wondering, "Isn't your horse a war horse?"

"You take a war horse when you go out on an adventure, but I am not I'm a fool, and I can't take care of a war horse myself, so I led a horse out." Lily's dull voice came from the carriage.

This one is a draught horse, but it is a court horse, and it looks good.

Zhong Ye shook his head slightly, took out a spare set of Jin and rope from the cabinet under the driver's seat, equipped the new draw horse, then sat back on the carry, lightly tossed the reins, and let the two The horses moved.

However, they are not at the same pace. Just walking up makes the carriage a little wobbly.

Zhong Ye sighed, take it easy...
