Chapter 94: The Destiny of Intersection (II)
"I refuse."
Sonia answered without hesitation, staring at the parliamentary representative in front of her coldly, without hiding her anger and disgust on her face.
"I have had enough of the barbaric country of Moon and the savage and ignorant people! You are not unaware of what I encountered in the Land of Atonement! I will not go to that ghost place again! You should find someone else to do the mission with His Majesty Lilian!"
"I hope you can think carefully, Miss Sonia."
Facing Sonia, the parliamentary representative could only smile helplessly. Of course, he knew why Sonia was so angry. She had indeed suffered a lot of sin in the land of atonement before, so that after returning to Casablanca, Sonia had never given the light council a good look. The lady who looked calm and gentle in them was gradually becoming tougher, but who could do what she could do? She is the third executive of the Loctus Consortium and the jewel of the old Loctus. The influence of the five major consortiums in Casablanca is unquestionable, so even if Sonia gave her a face, the Light council could only bear it.
"The Council believes that you have experienced going to Moon, and as a woman, you are of similar age to His Majesty Lilian, which is not easy to arouse her disgust. And...... You are currently the members of the Light Council of Winter Castle, you are most qualified to take over this task. This is a bill passed by the whole parliament. I hope Miss Sonia, you can put the overall situation first."
"Big situation?"
Sonia frowned.
"So, would I be considered a sacrifice for the overall situation if I died in Moon due to an accident?"
"This…………………………If you need, you can find someone to protect your safety……Miss Sonia, the Council hopes you put the overall situation first.” Here, the face of the deputies of the parliament became serious and solemn. “……This is what Mr. Loctus means.”
I still act the same, hoping to sell my daughter for a good price.
Upon hearing this, Sonia's expression changed slightly. As a member of the Loctus Consortium, she certainly knew what kind of virtue her father was. For him, as long as he could bring benefits, nothing could not be traded. In fact, when she had not shown any ability a long time ago, she was just a bargaining chip in her father's hand. However, with her own efforts, after gaining the status of the third executive and second-ranked MP, Old Loctus seemed to have noticed the rich political resources and business talents contained in her daughter. She gave up her original plan. But Sonia knew very well that this time her father would agree to the parliament's opinion, obviously intending to seek some benefits from it, so he sold herself without caring about it. However, for Sonia, even if she knew that her father had this idea, there was nothing to say...
Finally, she nodded reluctantly.
"Well, I'm willing to take this mission. But I asked the Council of Light to send me a guard………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
As the deputies left the parliamentary representatives, the door closed again. Sonia quietly stared at the door in front of her. It was not until a moment later that a starry smile appeared on her face again. At this time, Sonia could no longer see the gloomy face as if it was about to drip into water. She looked reluctant and seemed to die. On the contrary, her expression was extremely calm, and there was even a look of pride in her eyes.
I really didn't expect it would be so smooth.
After learning that Lilian was isolated in Casablanca, Rhode came up with a solution. He had no way to manipulate the two archangel chiefs, but he could use his chess piece - that is Sonia. After that, Rhode once gave Sonia a task to get as close to Lilian as possible. Becoming her best friend and most loyal subordinate, Lilian would not be too lonely in Casablanca. Moreover, Rhode also signaled Sonia to borrow.
This opportunity connects Lilian with some forces in the Council of Light. Originally, this was just a paper concept. After all, as the second councillor of the Council of Light, Sonia is unlikely to have many opportunities to meet Lilian. On the other hand, if Sonia takes the initiative to approach Lilian, it is likely that the Council will be suspected. But now, they have an excellent excuse and reason......... This is indeed a good thing for Sonia.
Then, next...
Thinking of this, Sonia smiled slightly.
She already knew what she should do next.
With the sharp decline of the offensive of the Immortal Legion, the coldest part of winter seemed to have passed, and the originally deserted land of atonement gradually became lively again. Christy sat quietly on the bench in the park, looking at the snow scene in front of him, and the paintbrush in his hand kept moving, outlining beautiful lines on the white paper. The winter sunlight gently sprinkled on the girl, bringing comfortable warmth.
For Christie, she is very happy now.
Everything I encountered in Gaoya Village had long disappeared, but Christie had never forgotten all this. She had never forgotten who saved her from the painful fate and allowed her to live such a happy and life like ordinary people again. This was Christie's biggest dream, but now, her dream has almost come true. But...
"Why……………"
Christie lowered her head and couldn't help but sigh. She stared at the canvas in front of her, silent. If Christie had anything dissatisfied with her current life, then it was......... she couldn't do anything for others.
Although Christie is a very weak girl on the surface, but in fact she is indeed very weak, she is very strong deep in her heart. When she was in Gaoya Village, even when facing the insults and beatings of villagers who fear her, and even because she would "curse" herself, Christie never complained about her destiny. In order to survive, she could even drag her sick body to drive away the flock of sheep to graze.
But now... although she doesn't have to live that painful life anymore, Christie feels that she doesn't want to continue like this.
She longed to help Rhode, Marlene, Lijie, Anne, and do something for those who had rescued her from that abyss of hell. But her weak body made Christie do nothing. Although the jewelry that Lydia gave her could keep Christie away from the torture of illness, it could not change her weak physique. Now Christie would pant and feel weak even if she walked up the stairs with a stack of books in her arms.
This made Christie very unwilling. But she was helpless. Although she would help Labis draw some alchemy equipment and patterns in her spare time, this was far from enough in Christie's opinion. She had hoped more than once that if she could use magic or have a healthy body, she could also learn to use magic or swordsmanship to fight with Rhode... If possible...
"Why…………………"
But, this is just a dream after all.
Christie sighed lightly, she felt a little confused. Although she was helping her with Labis, Christie felt that this was not what she should do. Moreover, except to help Labis design some alchemy equipment patterns, she couldn't do anything there - Labis would never let Christie move those dangerous alchemy materials. To be honest, Christie could continue to live like this, but she was always a little unwilling to accept it...
Although he was bored, Christie never mentioned these worries to anyone. She did not tell Rhode, nor did she tell Marlene, Anne and others about her inner worries. Because Christie knew that they were all very busy, especially now. She could not distract them from a little bit of trivial matters. However, Christie was still a little lonely at this moment. It has been a while since Rhode left the Fortress of the Atonement Land, and I don’t know when I will be able to come back...
Thinking of this, Christie retracted her thoughts and reached out her hand. Soon, the brush in her hand was wiped over the canvas, giving the perfect end to the picture in front of her. And just as Christie put down the brush, suddenly, a gentle and gentle voice came from behind her.
“What an outstanding painting.”
"Why?"
Hearing this voice, Christie turned around in surprise, and then she saw a girl with long dark hair coming to her side at some point. She had hair as deep as night, her deep eyes flashed with a lively glow, and her long eyelashes kept shaking. Her white face had a soft and elegant smile on her delicate face. The snow-white cloak wrapped the girl's graceful figure, showing her attractive charm.
"Who are you……………"
"Ah, I'm so sorry."
Seeing Christie, a look of surprise appeared on the girl's face, and then she smiled slightly.
"I am a traveler and I'm traveling around. I'm sorry to bother you, my lovely lady. But I didn't expect to see such an outstanding painting here... This surprised me very much, and I made a sound unconsciously. If you are disturbed, I will apologize to you here."
"Ah...no...no... nothing..."
Hearing the girl's words, Christie hurriedly shook her head. She stood up and saluted the girl in front of her.
"I'm not a little... just a little surprised..."
"But... it's a masterpiece."
The girl slowly stepped forward and came to Christie's presence, then she reached out and stroked the white canvas.
"Such beautiful lines, with the beautiful colors as bright as the flame of life, and the elegant and luxurious charm... I never thought I would see such beautiful works on this continent, this dazzling glory and talent as the revelation of the God of Art... It is clearly a static scene, but it can give people a sense of flowing and running at all times... It is even less than the art masters in the dark fall era."
"?"
Hearing the girl's words, Christie tilted her head curiously, and seemed to not quite understand what she said. But she could tell that she liked her paintings very much, which made Christie very happy.
"Do you like it...Big sister? If you like it, I can give it to you..."
"Why?"
Hearing Christie's answer, the girl's face clearly showed a surprise expression. She turned her head and stared at Christie in surprise.
"Can you really give it to me? Such an outstanding work... I guess you have spent a lot of time and effort to draw it. If this painting is placed on the market, it is worth tens of thousands of gold... No, even millions of gold coins will be difficult to obtain such a wonderful scroll, like a divine enlightenment."
"Nothing..."
Christie shook her head.
"This is just a painting that I'm free...passing my time...if you like, then I can give it to you......"
“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Hearing Christie's answer, the girl was silent for a moment, and then she solemnly picked up the painting, but she didn't see how the girl was doing. Christie only felt a flash in front of her, and then the painting completely disappeared in front of her and disappeared. The girl who obtained Christie's painting also showed a satisfied expression at this moment. She turned around and saluted Christie solemnly.
"I didn't expect to meet such a talented painter here. I'm so lucky... this beautiful and lovely lady."
As he said that, the girl reached out.
