Chapter 318 The Road to Survival (Part 2)
The pursuit of the Council of Light does not seem to be unfolding as one imagined.
Walking on the country road and stepping on withered leaves, Sonia raised her head and looked at the town surrounded by wooden fences. At this moment, the two of them had changed their clothes. Sonia was wearing the swordsman's leather armor, and Lilian, who was following her, was wearing a spiritual master's robe. Such a combination is not uncommon on the mainland. Spiritual masters who go out to travel always go on the road with their companions, and even Lijie came here like this. Fortunately, Lilian, as a dragon of light, has more or less some healing magic. Even if her power is sealed, she is also a dragon of creation after all, and she has some skills.
With such disguise, the two of them went smoothly along the way. Perhaps at the beginning, the Council of Light only focused on Casablanca. They never thought that a young lady from a delicate background and a dragon of creation who had never even left the gate could wander outside like a beggar. Of course, this was inseparable from Sonia's own experience. She knew very well how those huge forces conducted searches. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble along the way, Sonia also tried to stay away from those crowded areas and would only occasionally take advantage of it.
During the day, we went to the surrounding villages to buy some food, and at night we found a place to rest in the mountains and forests. Although this is not safe, considering that the pursuers of the Council of Light, which may fall from the sky, are much safer in the woods than in the villages. Perhaps because winter is approaching, most creatures are now busy preparing for hibernation. However, no beasts dare to put their ideas on their heads, perhaps because of the potential dragon power in Lilian's body, the beasts did not dare to attack them.
"Li, let's take a break here today and then go on the road. How about it? It's not far from the Highlands..."
It has been nearly two days since I was traveling. To be honest, Sonia is exhausted physically and mentally. She doesn't know if the two archangels have gone back, but what if they go back? This is the intuition of a woman, but Sonia feels that even if the two archangels grow back, there may not be any good things happening. And Casablanca gives her a bad feeling now. Instead of returning to Casablanca, it's better to continue walking... Now they have to continue walking.
"Um."
Lilian nodded when she heard Sonia's words, and then she reached out and grabbed the corner of Sonia's clothes.
When they walked to the entrance of the village, the strong militia standing there looked at the two of them curiously, but did not stop them. This made Sonia breathe a sigh of relief. She took Lilian's hand and walked into the village. Next, they just need to find a place to rest here for a while. Then they buy some food and supplies and can continue on the road. Now Sonia dare not choose those large towns. She knows that the information in those places is very fast. In contrast, these small villages located in the wild are relatively closed, and even if there is any news, they will not be able to reach here for a while.
The only tavern and inn in this village with the same name as the village is located not far from the gate, with a few horses tied to the manger that look malnourished. The lobby of the tavern is like this countryside, full of all kinds of odor and bad wine. When I pushed open the wooden door and walked into the tavern, Sonia felt this unpleasant smell. But she just frowned and said nothing. Compared to the stench in the sewer, this smell is much better now.
The hotel owner was a big and round waist, and looked like a middle-aged woman who could walk. Seeing that there were guests coming to the door, and that was not those farmers who could only drink and cause trouble all day, she hurriedly came up to meet her.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet a guest so early. What do you two need?"
Perhaps it was because the middle-aged woman's voice was so bright that it looked like a tyrannosaurus. Lilian couldn't help but tremble in fear, but Sonia still spoke quietly.
"We are travelers from the south, just passing here, please prepare some food for us, not too greasy... It would be better if there is a drink that can warm up. Also, please prepare some bacon and bread for us."
As he spoke, Sonia took out a few silver coins from her arms and placed them on the counter. When she saw the silver coins in front of her, the fat woman's eyes lit up. Then she immediately quickly put away the silver coins in her hand, which was not even as good as a professional thief, and then nodded.
"Hahaha, no problem, two ladies, the apples here are very famous. Now is the harvest season. I can guarantee that you will praise the fruit wines we have in our specialty! "
As he spoke, the middle-aged woman turned around and yelled at the thin man next to her, which scared the other party and immediately crawled into the kitchen behind. Looking at the scene in front of her, Sonia shook her head gently, and then took Lilian to sit down in the corner next to her. I have to admit that nothing is easier to make people mature than escape and adventure. Now Sonia finds that she has almost completely entered the role of an adventurer. Even a rough countryman like this hotel owner does not seem so annoying in her eyes...
The other party was not slow. Soon, the steaming bread, bacon and warm and sweet fruit wine were placed in front of the two. Not only that, the shop owner also prepared several grilled fish for the two. Of course, these things were not as delicious as Sonia and Lilian ate at home. The bread was too dry, the bacon, too hard, the grilled fish was too burnt, and only those fruit wines were worth a taste. At the beginning, both of them couldn't eat these things, but now, they had learned how to taste and eat these foods. No matter what, they didn't give them time to pick and choose now, right?
"Squeak..."
Just as the two were having a meal, the door of the tavern was pushed open again, and then an old man walked into the tavern. He looked inside and soon saw Sonia and Lilian sitting in the corner. Sonia was nothing, but when she saw the spiritual master robe Lilian was wearing, the old man's eyes lit up, and then he hurried to the two and bowed respectfully to them.
"I'm sorry to bother you. Is this lady a spiritual master?"
"Why?"
When Lilian heard someone asking about herself, she couldn't help but be stunned. Then she looked at the old man curiously and asked.
"Is there anything you have to do?"
“That’s how it is.”
Facing Lilian's inquiry, the old man hurriedly spoke.
"My grandson has accidentally gotten sick because of Qiu Han these two days. We originally wanted to go to the town to find a spiritual master to help with treatment. But the journey is too far. Since this lady is a spiritual master, can you please help me save my grandson?"
"this……………"
Hearing this, Lilian looked at Sonia with some embarrassment, and Sonia frowned slightly.
"Sorry, this lady is still studying and is not qualified to treat patients alone..."
"Sonia?"
At this moment, Sonia felt Lilian pulling her clothes gently, and she lowered her head. Lilian was looking at her, she held her hands tightly and stared at her with some anxiety.
"When someone needs help, I think... we should... help others, right?"
"But……………"
Hearing Lilian's words, Sonia was a little hesitant. She was unwilling to have anything to do with these villagers, whether it was good or bad. This was not a good thing. If it was discovered by the Council of Light, it would be a disaster for them and these people. But she could not understand Lilian's thoughts. But for Sonia herself...
"Sonia?"
“………………………………”
Looking at Lilian's eyes full of prayer, Sonia hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
After the interrupted meal, the two packed up their clothes and followed the old man to his home, just as the old man said. His grandson, who was less than six years old, was lying on the bed with a high fever, looking pale and almost dead. Seeing this scene, Lilian naturally could not remain indifferent. Soon, she came to the other party, singing softly, and then stretched out her hands. With Lilian's movements, a white light suddenly appeared from her hands, and randomly wrapped the boy in front of her. Soon, the boy's expression gradually began to improve, and even the originally rapid breathing gradually calmed down.
As the Creation Dragon Soul, Lilian is still sure about this.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly came. Everyone looked up and saw a farmer wearing a little dirty dress pushing open the door and walking in tiredly. Seeing Sonia and Lilian, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly walked up with a calm face and strode forward.
"Who are you? What do you want to do to my son!"
"Shut up, Mike, I invited them to treat them. That lady is a spiritual master!"
"Spiritual Master?"
Hearing the old man next to him, the man stopped, and then he looked at Lilian who was standing by the window carefully. Because of being in the room, Lilian did not hide his face in the hood like outside, but soon, the man withdrew his gaze, came to the boy, and looked at him with concern. After confirming that he had no fever, he let out a long sigh. Then the man turned around and saluted respectfully to Lilian in front of him.
"Thank you for your help, this lady. I'm sorry I was so......Mainly, I've been worried about my child's condition during this period. Suddenly I saw an outsider, and I was a little... excited, please forgive me."
"Ah, no, nothing, I didn't take it to heart. Please don't care... This is what I should do."
Hearing the man's thanks, Lilian was obviously a little panicked. She waved her hand quickly and signaled that she didn't need to care. Seeing Lilian's movements, the man stood up and spoke.
"Looking at the appearance of you two, you should be travelers. So I'll ask you to stay here to rest tonight, which is also a sign of our gratitude..."
Sonia frowned slightly when she heard the man's words.
"I've received the kindness, we......"
But before she finished speaking, Sonia stopped. She turned her head and looked at Lilian next to her. Although Lilian didn't speak, her eyes could tell that Lilian was very moved by the proposal. Indeed, this place was just an ordinary farmhouse and nothing was useful, but being able to spend the night on a soft big bed instead of on the cold grass in the wild still had an unparalleled temptation for a girl.
“……………………Okay, thank you for your kindness, then we’re welcome.”
Sighing softly, Sonia finally shook her head and then said. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
