Chapter 317 The Road to Survival (1)
"Sonia! Sonia?"
Hearing the shouts in his ears, Sonia slowly opened her eyes, and what caught her eyes was Lilian's frightened face. It was already sunset, and Sonia only felt a soreness and numbness on her body, and there was even more burning pain behind her. She slowly sat up and found that she was lying on a withered lawn. It was late autumn now, and the originally tender green grass had gradually withered, and the green leaves had also turned yellow. The cold wind
The blowing in the forest made Sonia feel a chill. She looked down and found that her clothes were completely soaked in sewage, and her whole body was stinky. Lilian was not much better at this moment. Her little face was covered with black and white, like a little cat, and all kinds of filth were everywhere on Lilian's cloak. Not only that, Sonia also felt cold and pain coming from her left arm.
Sure enough, was he still hit?
Thinking of this, Sonia calmed down and stood up.
"Your Majesty, it's not safe here, we have to keep moving forward."
"But, but... where are we going? And... Sonya, are you okay? Do you want to find a place to rest..."
"No, it won't work now. Let's find a place to rinse your body, change your clothes, and continue moving forward. Your Majesty. The Council of Light cannot find us, and will definitely expand the search range nearby. We must escape before this."
Looking at Lilian's pale face, Sonia was also a little hesitant. To be honest, she was not much better than Lilian. If Sonia hadn't been an elite swordsman, she was not that bad in physique. If she hadn't been an ordinary noble lady, she would probably not be able to walk at this moment. But for Sonia, even if she couldn't walk, she had to continue walking. She didn't know what would happen if Lilian was caught by Nakfand, but it seemed that it was not a good thing... Not to mention, the task assigned to her by Rhodes was to protect His Majesty Lilian's safety!
That’s right, this is the mission given to me by the master!
Thinking of this, Sonia immediately became firm. Although the journey was very tiring and painful, compared to the master's previous "education", this was nothing. Now, the most important thing is to take His Majesty Lilian away from Casablanca. As long as he could leave this middle area, Sonia could rely on her familiarity with the Land of Light to other areas and mix in the crowd. In this way, she could avoid the search of the Council of Light. She knew very well that even in the country of Light, some areas were not satisfied with the rule of the Council of Light. As long as they could escape there, there was no need to be afraid of the pursuit of the Council of Parliament. The resistance of the local area alone was enough for those guys to drink a pot.
"Your Majesty, let's move on."
"Well... OK."
Seeing Sonia stand up, Lilian hesitated for a moment, but finally asked.
"That...Sonya, where are we going?"
"…………………………………………………………… This road will definitely not work, and it will be dangerous to go to Moon. If you take the land route, then we need to be questioned a lot. But if you take the water route, it is similar to the threat of taking the floating ship. What's more, I heard that there are many ships on the Harbor of Light are not clean. The other party might have some bad intentions when they see us two of them..." Thinking of this, Sonia pretended to be pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, if you don't mind, we can go down the Heilan River, and then... we might go to the Void Leader through Highland City."
"Why?"
Hearing this, Lilian was stunned. Seeing Lilian's expression, Sonia was very anxious. She originally planned to take this opportunity to turn Lilian back to the Void Territory. Although the reasons Sonia said before were completely valid, it was not impossible. Take the harbor as for example. As Sonia said, there were many black ships there, but there were also many regular passenger ships. As long as they could escape the search and secretly board the ship, there were also opportunities to go to Moon. However... As Rhode's most heartfelt servant, Sonia naturally would not want to give this opportunity to Lydia.
"This is relatively safe, His Majesty Lillian. We can find the caravans of the chambers and go to the border areas with them. Many of them have no contact with the Council of Light, and we are not worried that they will investigate our identities, and even if there is any problem, it will be easier for us to escape..."
"OK."
"Why?"
When Sonia was stunned when she heard Lilian's answer so readily, she saw Lilian waving her fists at this moment, looking at her with a thrilling expression.
"Let's go find Brother Rod, Sonya, I think Brother Rod will definitely protect us!"
"Of course, your majesty, if you think this is good..."
Facing Lilian who was excited in front of him, Sonia felt that she had nothing to say...
Although Lilian was very excited about being able to find Rhode, the problem in front of them was not so easy to solve. The first thing was the problem of taking a bath. It was not until the moon rose that Sonia and Lilian realized how difficult it was to find a place to take a bath in this wilderness. One of them was the eldest lady and the other was the Dragon of Light. Pingyuli was all about food and clothes to reach out. Although Sonia was also responsible for taking care of Lilian, it did not include her diet and daily life. So the two of them walked in the woods step by step, and finally found a small one after another.
Although the late autumn night was very cold, the two of them still gritted their teeth and washed their bodies, then changed into clean and refreshing clothes. Then Sonia picked up a few branches from the side. After all, she often went out. She had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running. Even if Sonia was not a mercenary who had been away for many years, she had seen her guards watching outside, so she also learned a look. Of course, if Sonia had not had the magic sword attached to the Fire genus, they would have had a cold night here tonight.
“Woo………………”
She curled up in Sonia's arms. Looking at the fire in front of her, Lilian couldn't help but shivered, and then she instinctively shrank her body again. Feeling Lilian's movements, Sonia hugged the girl in her arms tightly. Her right hand held the long sword tightly, leaning against the big tree, staring around. The woods in late autumn were dark and terrifying. Under the silver moonlight, the dry branches were constantly twisting like ghosts.
“………Sonia?”
"What's the matter? Your Majesty?"
Sonia asked softly at Lilian's voice.
"………………Why, they want to catch me? What did I do? I feel so annoying...This feeling..."
“……………………………”
"Brother Rod... Sister Nalaya, Sister Higgle, even that annoying Ion, everyone is the Creation Dragon Soul, why am I so unlucky? They are all supported and loved by others, why are I treated like this? I am also the Creation Dragon Soul, I really don't know what I did wrong, why do those people treat me like this? Have I done things that are not good to them? Haven't I always done nothing and let them do what they want to do? Is it because I helped those poor soldiers?"
"No... Your Majesty... I don't think this is the case..."
After hesitating for a moment, Sonia reached out and gently stroked Lilian's hair.
"…………I don’t know what to say, but Lord…… His Majesty Rod’s achievements today are the result of his own efforts. Your Majesty, you should have heard about His Majesty Rod. He has faced many threats, including the powerful undead legion, but he did not retreat, but moved forward bravely. In the end, he won, and also received glory and respect... His Majesty, everyone is the same. If you want to get recognition from others, you must embark on the path you choose. Even if it is a thorny road..."
Speaking of this, Sonia was silent for a moment. Isn't she the same? She can give up her mission and continue to live as Sonia of the Crotos family. She can also truly become a member of the Council of Light. Here, she has her own status, identity and glory. But what can she get from Rhodes? Physical joy? If Sonia wants to find this kind of thing, she is not unable to find a substitute for it. She is a beautiful woman
,Where are there fewer men who covet this body in the world? Not to mention anything else, among the nobles, there are countless gatherings that are more chaotic than this. She can suck the medicine that makes people ecstatic and swim in the ocean of body and pleasure. Can't this bring happiness to herself? Moreover, beside Rhodes, she is just a slave and a bitch after all. But here, at least on the surface, she is still a noble lady.
So, why did she choose this path that seems to have no future?
Thinking of this, Sonia lowered her eyes and looked at the bonfire flying in front of her.
But the answer was already destined, as she said to Lilian.
"Each of us has chosen our own path, so we have to go on our own..."
She said softly, but at this moment, Lilian had already fallen into a deep dream in her arms. (To be continued.)
