Realizing that she was pillowing on Liti's lap, Fia stood up and frowned slightly.
"Didn't I sleep on the pillow?"
"Hmm, I replaced it. The lap pillow is also a pillow."
With her chest straightened out, Liti looked quite proud.
Fia could only hold her forehead and sigh.
"I said you bastard..."
Also too proactive.
"This is a manifestation of my younger sister's concern for her older sister. In the eyes of outsiders, we are like sisters who are close friends~ My sister's sleeping face, hehehe..."
Don't make that sound of being lost in fantasy.
Fia sighed again.
"Haha, I always feel like I've lost an innocent, lovely and polite sister."
"What, am I innocent, cute, and polite? If my sister likes me like I was before, I can always be like that. Besides, sisters with other good relationships would also knee pillows, but my sister thinks too much—it hurts." pain……"
While Liti was looking smug, Fia flicked Liti's forehead.
"Even so, you're not allowed to peek while I'm sleeping, or I'll let Anastasia tie you to the passenger seat."
"Woooo."
Ignoring Liti who was covering her head with her hands and making dissatisfied voices, Fia turned her head to look at the car curtain.
For some reason, the carriage gradually stopped.
"I'll take a look outside."
Regarding Liti's intimacy, Fia didn't know what attitude to take.Just like what Liti said, the knee pillow just now, in the eyes of outsiders, is an ordinary sister with a good relationship. Only those who care about this kind of thing will care about this kind of thing, and real sisters will not think there is anything wrong with it.
Letty is so cunning.
Feeling helpless about this, Fia sighed softly, straightened her shawl and ponytails, and came to the driver's seat of the carriage.
The endless wilderness unfolded before Fia's eyes.
While she was sleeping, the carriage had left yesterday's forest.
Large expanses of green grass that is only an inch high spread from the feet to the distance, and the slightly undulating hills make the scenery not so boring. The khaki road extending far in the wilderness adds a touch of vitality to the picture.
Since it had just rained, the air filled with the fragrance of green grass was extremely fresh. Fia took a deep breath, and her drowsy brain was immediately refreshed.
If there were no refugees carrying big and small bags not far away, this place would undoubtedly be a superb view.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness, you are awake."
Anastasia, who was sitting in the driver's seat, lowered her head and bowed to Fia who was beside her.
Fia took the empty seat next to Anastasia.
"Well, good afternoon. Why did you stop?"
"Further ahead is the junction of the Holy Kingdom of Milkandis and the Principality of Bart."
"Can't elves enter the Principality of Bart?"
The reason why my party can move freely on the border of the Holy Nation is because before departure, the church gave me a token that can pass freely in the eastern part of the Holy Nation.And this token does not apply to the Duchy of Bart.The Principality of Bart is also a country dominated by humans. It is hard not to think that the Principality of Bart does not discriminate against non-human intelligent races.
Anastasia's answer dispelled Fia's worries.
"No, the elves can enter the Principality of Bart. The Principality of Bart appeared on the mainland because of the founding emperor who claimed to be 'from another world' a hundred years ago, so the people respect the founding emperor very much. And the founding emperor believes that, If you want the Principality of Bart to survive for a long time, you must abandon xenophobic thinking and accept other intelligent races. Only by implementing such a policy can the Principality of Bart become stronger."
"So from a hundred years ago, the Principality of Bart allowed non-human races to hold important positions. Those non-human races who made great contributions in the battle of the founding of the country and fought for the founding emperor were also awarded noble titles and fiefdoms by the founding emperor. To this day, Although the Principality of Bart is still dominated by humans, almost no one discriminates against people of other races."
"Therefore, the non-human intelligent races in the Principality of Bart are all proud of being members of the Principality of Bart. Especially the nobles, they cherish and are extremely sensitive about this hard-won status. If someone insults their nobles Because of their status, their reaction will be stronger than that of ordinary nobles, on the contrary, they also care more about the responsibilities of the nobles, and care more about the citizens."
It sounds pretty good.
Fiya evaluated it in her heart.
As long as you are responsible to the citizens, it is not unacceptable to have a weird personality.
However, Fei Ya still cared more about the founding emperor.The idea of racial equality and claiming to be "from another world" made Fia feel that it was a reincarnated person like herself.
"Is the founding emperor still alive?"
"Dead. The life span of human beings is very short, and the average life span is only in their 30s. The founding emperor died of overwork when he was in his prime in his 40s."
"It's already dead..."
There was some disappointment and regret in Fei Ya's voice, and she wondered if she was a fellow countryman from Earth, and wanted to meet her.
"Is Your Highness interested?"
"A little bit. But it's fine if you die."
Fia's answer made Anastasia's expression slightly subtle.
"Actually, this subordinate wants to say that next we will pass through the Earl of Oro in the Principality of Bart, which is a territory ruled by vampires. Among them, the third daughter of Earl Oro, Estelle Oro, is a good friend of yours. Your Highness Although I have only met Miss Estier a few times, the two sides have been exchanging letters," Anastasia paused, "Shall we meet Miss Estier by the way?"
"Wait until the next time I have a chance, it's important to go back to the Elven Kingdom now."
"The subordinates know." Speaking of this, Anastasia turned her eyes back to the front, and her expression became serious. "It's just that the situation ahead doesn't seem to be good...the refugees are walking back."
As Anastasia said, in addition to the refugees walking in the direction of Fia's carriage, there are also refugees coming from the opposite direction of Fia at the end of the road. lively.
"Go ahead and have a look."
"Yes."
The carriage gradually approached the place where the refugees were concentrated.
Unlike the scattered refugees along the way, at least a hundred people gathered at the border.This group of ragged refugees seemed to have been here for a while, and they didn't intend to set off again, but simply set up a temporary camp at the junction.Images of refugees joining the crowd can be seen everywhere around them, lowering their heads and asking what happened ahead.
However, this was not the place that attracted Fia's attention the most.
The moment the carriage arrived at the refugee camp, Fia focused on a canyon in the wilderness—it might not be appropriate to call it a canyon, but a crack would be more appropriate.The earth seemed to be split open by a huge sword that opened up the world, and a hole with a width of several hundred meters was split from it.
There is a two-meter-wide suspension bridge made of wood and ropes on the gap, and the refugees on both sides come and go through the suspension bridge.The refugee camp is about [-] meters away from the suspension bridge.
After parking the carriage on the side of the road, Anastasia jumped out of the carriage and saluted Fia with a serious expression.
"Your Highness, let me ask the refugees over there what happened ahead."
"Ah."
Nodding in agreement to Anastasia, when Anastasia knelt down and took out half a piece of bread as a reward, and asked about the situation ahead of the refugees, Fiya also jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the crack that suddenly appeared in the wilderness.
The closer to the crack, the more sparse the green grass under Fia's feet, and when it was only three or four meters away from the edge of the cliff, there was only black rock exposed on the ground, lifeless.
The reason why Fia's gaze was attracted to the crack was because Fia knew what the crack was.
This is the "Abyss" recorded in "The Secret History of the Witch".
According to the legend, at first everything lived in a wider and richer land than it is now. However, because of the final battle between the dark descendants and the gods, that rich land was covered by chaos.The endless chaos, even the power of the gods, is hard to resist. In desperation, the gods can only lead their people to a barren and barren exile that protrudes a lot from the earth and was originally used to exile sinners.
And that land of exile is today's World Tree Continent.
Because the world tree continent protrudes a lot from the original continent, the power of chaos cannot reach it, so it becomes the only refuge for people.But what I want to say is that on the World Tree Continent, there are many cracks called abyss. These cracks connect the World Tree Continent and the original continent. Some of them are only a few hundred meters long, and some of them traverse most of the land.
No one knows how deep these abysses are, but everyone knows that the abyss leads to their hometown.However, today's hometown is full of chaos, and no living things can survive there.
In the past, there were many adventurous people who carried enough food to explore the bottom, but few people came back in the end. As for those who survived, the answers were "the bottom is bottomless" and "there is still a long way to go".
Mysterious and dangerous.The living do not enter, and the dead do not return.
This is the description of the abyss in "The Witch's Secret History".
According to Moon Dragon Radrick, the silver dagger in his hand was an item carried by the Witch of Hope hundreds of years ago, and the Witch of Hope had already reached the ninth rank at that time.In other words, the "Secret History of the Witch" in my hand is probably also a book written by Hope Witch.Even people in the ninth rank rated the abyss as dangerous, so it was hard for Fia not to be curious.
She stretched out her neck quietly and peered down.
There are few protrusions on the black cliff, and the sight of straight up and down makes the eyes dizzy for a while. If it were an ordinary person, his legs would already be weak due to fear of heights, and he would even fall headfirst. However, Fiya did not have any psychological fluctuations .
There is a vast expanse of whiteness under the crack, and the thick clouds cover the sight. Occasionally, the wind blows the clouds, so that Fia can see things under the clouds, but the vision only changes from white to swallowing blackness, and nothing can be seen clearly. Not even the sun can reach the bottom of the abyss.
Fiya condensed an "ice bomb" with a diameter of five meters and threw it downward, but two or three minutes passed without any sound.
Only by seeing the abyss can Fia feel that she is actually living in a continent that is much higher than the earth.
Her expression gradually became subtle.
Thinking about it this way, the creatures living in the World Tree Continent are really humiliated. They were driven away from their hometown by monsters, but after ten thousand years, they still don't have enough strength to return.It's no wonder that the Darkborn are hated by people. From the perspective of the people of God, if the Darkborn did not provoke the war, Chaos would not appear, and they would not be forced to stay in the World Tree Continent.You know, the World Tree continent is called a barren land, and it is hard to imagine how rich the original continent is.
"I hope you can live better down here."
Just as Fiya was feeling emotional, a voice came from about ten meters to the left of Fiya.Subconsciously, Fia looked to the left.
A dirty man is throwing sacks down the cliff, and behind this man, there are five or six sacks that are about the height of a person. Fia can tell from the outline of the sacks that they contain corpse.As evidence, behind the sacks lined up side by side, stood a dozen or so refugees crying and wiping away their tears.
The sacks contained their loved ones.
With such a judgment in her heart, Fiya began to slowly walk towards the strong man who threw the sack down and shouted loudly, as if he was giving a eulogy.
After only a short while, the strong man finished throwing the sack, and after collecting the money from the family of the deceased, he clapped his hands, as if to call it a day.
Fia stopped him.
"Can I wait? What were you doing just now?"
"Oh... the eldest lady of the noble family?" Seeing Fei Ya's attire, the muscular man was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly knelt down on his knees, fearing that it would cause Fei Ya's dissatisfaction if he was a second late. "May I ask what's the matter?"
"No need to salute, stand up and talk. What were you doing just now?"
Seeing that Fei Ya was not here to embarrass himself, the strong man stood up, rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said flatteringly.
"Back to Miss, I am helping to dispose of the corpses. The weather is hot, and if the corpses are not disposed of, they will attract the plague. I used to be a gravedigger in the village, and I know some rules for disposing of the dead. These days, I am going to the sacred place in the north In the country, I happened to meet refugees, so I did some work along the way to earn some travel expenses. The dead people just now were thrown away with the consent of their families, Miss, I did not commit murder or steal corpses."
"When you usually dispose of corpses, do you also throw people down?"
Not understanding what Fia wanted to do, the muscular man scratched his head.
"How come, today is a special situation. It is better to throw people down than to bury people in the wilderness as wild ghosts. Everyone says that the life down below is better than up above, and they may be reborn in good people's homes in the next life." go."
"Life below is better than above? Isn't below a place of death?"
"Ah, that's what the nobles said. Some civilians think that the chaos below has long since disappeared, and life below is better than above."
"I see. You can go."
"Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"
Like a pardoned prisoner, the strong man ran away without looking back.
At this time, Anastasia also came to Fia's side, and the former looked a little nervous.
"Your Highness, what did you say to that man? It's dangerous near the abyss. I don't know how many people have been framed in the abyss. Once they are pushed down, even their bodies can't be found."
"Don't worry, Anastasia, I'm around the guards. I just talked to that person about some irrelevant topics. Go back to the carriage and explain. This is not the place to talk."
"Yes."
Agreeing in a low voice, Anastasia followed Fia's footsteps.
Chapter 7 Journey
"Have there been darkborn in Earl of Oro..."
The carriage continued on.
Fiya sat sideways on the driver's seat, her dangling calves swaying slightly. Covered by the excellent textured black knee socks, her already slender legs looked more slender, especially from the belly of the legs to the ankles The beautiful curves of the feet make people unable to bear to take a second look - if such feet are in front of them, they probably cannot help but want to step forward and touch them.
However, Fia herself didn't realize that her sitting posture was extremely alluring. She just rested her right hand on her chin, frowned and lowered her head to think.
Anastasia used a half-cut bread to inquire about the news from the refugees. The reason why the refugees gathered at the border was that there was also a disaster in the Earl of Oro ahead, which resulted in refugees.Refugees on both sides are exchanging ideas about which direction to flee next—to other places in the Duchy of Bart, or simply cross the Principality of Bart and go to the Kingdom of Alfredg.
As for the disaster that happened in the Earl of Oro, the refugees have different opinions.It is said that the dark descendants attacked the important city of the Earl of Oro, and it was said that the Kingdom of Alfredg secretly sent high-level magic casters to cause damage, and there was a rebellion under the Earl of Oro, and the two sides fought in the city one game.All in all, the ending is that countless refugees escaped from the Earl of Oro, and the description of "the city was destroyed" is basically the same.
First there was a huge explosion, and then the sky became extremely black. Before people realized what happened, most of the houses in the city disappeared. Some people were hit by flying bricks and died on the spot. Without screaming, he left the world forever.
The group of refugees that Feiya saw were the first to escape when they realized something was wrong.There are not only people who escaped from the city, but also those who fled with their families from surrounding villages.Although the farmers living in the village did not see how the disaster happened with their own eyes, they also chose to join the team when they saw that everyone was running away.After all, when the disaster really strikes, it must be too late to escape, not to mention that among the people who ran out of the city, there were quite a few injured, missing arms and legs, wrapped in bloody cloths all over their bodies, and crying and screaming. It's hard not to be shaken by the way he looks.
At this moment, Fia's carriage had already passed the drawbridge and arrived at the Earl of Olo in the Principality of Bart.The diversion needs to add a few days to the journey, and Fia is unwilling to make the journey back longer.In Fia's eyes, no matter whether he is a darkborn or a high-level magic caster in the Alfred Kingdom, as long as he dares to jump out and block the way, Fia will send him to see God.
"The subordinates think it should be a dark descendant."
Anastasia let go of the reins in her hand, allowing the two eight-legged horses pulling the cart to move forward quickly.
