Soul Echo

All the way, Lily was very silent, seldom spoke, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Until Zhong Ye and the others approached Le Mans, she suddenly said, "Le Mans...I lived there for a while when I was a child."

Her words made Zhong Ye raised his attention, but instead of asking, he waited for Lily to tell her.

There was another moment of silence, and Lily's voice came from the carriage: "My mother is from Le Mans. Her background is not noble, she is just the second daughter of a viscount family. Logically speaking, She could have contacted my father...

"But at that time, both my mother and my father were studying at the Academy of the Kingdom Mage, so they knew each other and became queens.

“When I first came to Le Mans, I met my maternal grandfather, he was a very eccentric man who had been haunted by mother’s becoming queen for many years, and even complained more than once. He shouldn't have sent mother to the Kingdom Mage Academy to study."

Lily Lieber leaned against the window, resting her chin in one hand, looking at the passing scenery outside the window with a complicated expression.

Lilian also turned her attention away from the barrage and looked towards her.

"Then the next year, he died, and after his death, mother took me and Bellamy and the others back to Le Mans, where I lived for three years.

"It was a good time, everything was fine...until mother died at Le Mans. "

Speaking of this, Lily took a deep breath, "the mother was assassinated - we don't know why anyone would want to kill our mother, she is a good person, she has never been What bad things have you done... After the mother was assassinated, the father found some spell books of the prophecy school from the grandfather's house. It was also at that time that we knew that maybe the grandfather had seen the future of the mother being assassinated. and trying to stop.

"...Unfortunately, he didn't succeed, and he died because of it."

"What happened later?" Lilian couldn't help but wonder, "Did the killer catch it? ?"

Lily's expression became more sad, and she sighed deeply: "The killer was caught. It was sent by a count who wanted to make his daughter a queen to replace my mother. At that time, his My daughter already knew my father, so he thought the time was right and sent a killer to assassinate my mother.

"Because we are all women, he thought we were not a threat as long as his daughter could give birth A son can successfully inherit this country..."

After a moment of silence, Zhong Ye's voice came from outside the car: "...Sorry. "

Lily shook the head, "It's okay because you don't know these things. ”

Then the carriage fell silent again, and even Lillian stopped whispering to the audience.

In this silence, the carriage entered Le Mans.

This is an ancient city, but the city has been gradually updated and iterated over the years, and it is not behind the times.

The first thing that appeared in front of Zhong Ye and them was a road that was not grand. The high wall of the city gate is mottled with traces of time, and the muzzle is obviously added after the completion, which is a bit unnatural and not beautiful.

But after entering the city gate, the impression it gives is It is completely different.

The street trees planted on both sides of the street have lost their leaves, but the dense branches are like sharp swords rising into the sky, giving people a sharp and hard-working feeling.

p>

In contrast, the city's streets exude a quiet, peaceful atmosphere.

This atmosphere effectively moderates the excitement of those crystalline branches Once you are immersed in it, you will not want to leave.

Even in this cold winter, the streets and alleys are still filled with heart-warming laughter, from pubs, shops, and residences. The joy of watching the streets makes people unable to help join it, quietly changing the dull mood of the visitors.

Unfortunately, these things did not make Lily feel the slightest joy, on the contrary, listening to With these voices, she felt the peaceful atmosphere of Le Mans, and she couldn't help but think of her mother, that kind and amiable woman.

Sadly, she can't remember her mother now. On her face, she can only recall the tenderness and warmth brought to her by her mother.

Looking at the street scene outside the window, Lily Lieber immersed herself in her memories.

Until she arrived at the adventurer When she was at home, she woke up like a dream and felt the wetness on her face and the sourness in the corners of her eyes.

Hurrying to wipe away her tears, she turned around and found that Lilian didn't seem to see her tears. This is sighed in relief.

"It's here, get out of the car! "Lily took a breath, smiled again, took Lilian's hand and jumped off the carriage.

After getting off the car, looking at the tall building in front of her, she couldn't help but exclaimed:" It turns out that Le Mans also has such a large building, the change is really big! "

Afterwards, she looked left and right, and found that it was still early, so she turned her head and looked towards Zhong Ye, "Zhong, it's still so early, why don't we take action in the afternoon?" "

Zhong Ye just wanted to drive away the carriage, when he heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Lily, "Aren't you tired? ”

Before this, although can't be called pampered, Lily is tentatively considered a Princess, impossible accustomed to long-distance travel, this journey, the boat and the fatigue, have not arrived at Chartres. I'm shouting tired.

Zhong Ye's own physical strength is extraordinary, Lilian is a player, and the spirit can get enough rest in another world, physical fatigue is completely unimportant, but Lily Lieber is neither transcender, not a player, has not had a good rest physically and mentally.

"Of course tired! If I was put in bed, I might still be tired and unable to sleep, but I don't want to sleep and I don't want to rest right now! "

Looking at the smile on Lily's face and the reddened eyes, Zhong Ye sighed: "Just do what you want. If you want to act, you can do it at any time." "

"That's it!" ”

Lily waved to Zhong Ye and dragged Lillian into the adventurer's house.

The carriage needs to be registered before it can be put into the stable and warehouse, and now they just go in and register Yes.

After finishing all the affairs and moving the luggage into their respective rooms, the three of them went to the lobby to gather.

Lunch had already been eaten on the road, and it was not long after lunch , they entered Le Mans, so it will be a long time before night comes.

"If my memory is correct..."

Because I grew up in Le Mans Mang lived for a while, and until now, Lily still remembers some details of the city, so she left the adventurer's house with Zhong Ye and Lilian, and followed the traces of the memory to walk the streets.

"When I and Bellamy and the others came to the city to play, the servants told us that there are a few places not to go, they said that those places are not qualified for us people to approach. "

Walking down the street, Lily recalled playing and laughing with her sisters in the city.

"During the time we lived in Le Mans , father also sometimes leaves Paris and comes to Le Mans to play with us... ah, found it! It should be here! "

After passing a corner, Zhong Ye and the others came to a dilapidated street.

The houses on this street are not as bright as other streets, and here, he even saw a few A house with the roof collapsed by the snow.

Only in this kind of place, there is a place for gangs.

Zhong Ye let go of his hearing, and his thoughts diverged with the hearing. Go out and collect information from all directions.

After a while, he steps up, "Follow me. ”

You can tell what he has found by looking at him.

Lily and Lillian looked at each other, laughed at the little girl beside them, and followed in Zhong Ye’s footsteps .

cold wind whistling, bringing shouts in the distance.

Wait a little closer, Lily and the others also heard these sounds.

” Tavern? "Li asked curiously.

Zhong Ye, as long as Zhong Ye nodded, "Generally speaking, even if the tavern is not the gang's territory, it may be their gathering place. If you find the tavern, it means that you can find the local gang-- The premise is to bring enough money. "

Under the leadership of Zhong Ye, they came to the door of an unremarkable house, and the sound they heard before came from here.

Zhong Ye walked over, pushed open the door, and stepped inside.
