Soul echo

Chapter 150 The Journey of Another Departure
Walking out of the city along the unfinished road, Lilian, who was sitting on horseback, looked back at the checkpoint behind her.

The guards of the temple in full armor stood in the city gate holding muskets in their hands. The heavy door was slowly closing, isolating the inner and outer spaces.

The city gate is completely closed, and the inside and outside of the city become two worlds.

Apart from Belgrade, it was the first time that Lilian had stayed in another city for so long.

But this city didn't bring her many good memories. Most of the memories she could recall were about sadness and destruction. Even Zhong Ye almost died.

These memories were buried deep in her mind after she left the city, and Lilian didn't hope that she would have the time to open these memories again.

The road outside the city is also quite dilapidated. This area has not been ignited by the fire, but it has experienced the ravages of the aberrations, and now it has become potholed, full of pits and protruding clods.

Half-collapsed or ruined houses on both sides of the road can be seen everywhere, and the dark blood color soaked into the soil, leaving many shocking traces.

Looking at these things, Lilian's mind, which had just relaxed not long ago, sank again.

Looking along this road, until the end, she didn't see any people.

Sensing the students' emotions, Zhong Ye didn't look back, and said softly: "Everyone here has been taken into the city, and Milan will not be opened to the outside world until it is confirmed that they are not inspired by the abyss, and outsiders will be refused outside the city. People in the city couldn't leave either."

Hearing this, Lilian felt better, but her mood was still low.

People shouldn't have endured this kind of suffering, but now they have suffered such an indiscriminate disaster, which made her feel sad and angry at the same time... although only a little.

Going from Milan to Turin needs to bypass or climb over a mountain. If you choose to climb directly, you will encounter a small town on the way to the mountains.

This small town is part of Milan in a broad sense, so it is not far from Milan.

In the past, this small town was just a resting place on the commercial road. Although it was lively, it was not as 'hustle and bustle' as it is now.

Merchants cannot enter Milan, so they can only gather in this small town, so that now there are more foreigners than residents in this town, and many wooden houses have been added outside the town. It appears to be newly built.

The Grand Duke is dead, and the Gloria family also perished under Lamit's conspiracy. Milan has lost its heir, and now the church and the surviving nobles control the affairs of the entire Milan.

They stipulate that no one can leave Milan, but even if half of the people die, there are still more than [-] people in Milan.

With such a huge number of people, the daily consumption is an astronomical figure. If the gate is kept closed to prevent outsiders from entering, most of these people will definitely starve to death.

Therefore, the church and the aristocratic council designated two locations as the distribution centers for transactions, for unified procurement and transportation.

This move also prevents foreign businessmen from losing their money, and it should be considered as preparations for the reopening of Milan in the future.

Right now, the small town where Zhong Ye and the others came is one of the designated distribution centers. The not-so-spacious streets are crowded with people, carriages and horses. The merchants and their guards are clamoring to go to the other end of the street, but so are the others. , but in the opposite direction.

The strange hustle and bustle brought a lot of vigor and vitality to this small town. Because they were not disturbed by mutants, the residents of the small town lived peacefully and peacefully, and they had the leisure to lie by the window and watch the noise of the streets below.

Coming here, Lilian's gloomy mood finally got a little relief, and her heart was infected by this very lively.

They didn't go into the town, because Zhong Ye had already bought all the travel necessities when he was in the city, and now he just borrowed the road to go to the mountains called 'Golden Bird'.

Bypassing the town, a wide avenue appeared in front of you.

At this time, there was a long caravan coming out from the foot of the mountain. Zhong Ye and the others passed by the caravan. Sitting on horseback, Lilian could see that the guards and mercenaries, who were well equipped but in a sloppy manner, were patrolling around the team. , and the curious faces behind the windows of the carriages can also be seen.

Xu Shi noticed her gaze, and the young man who leaned towards the window retracted his head until she and Zhong Ye passed the carriage, then poked his head out again, staring blankly at Lilian's back.

In this way, Zhong Ye and Lilian walked into the mountains with a caravan that was leaving the town.

Looking around, the mountain road was unexpectedly flat and wide.

However, this is not something difficult to understand. Milan and Turin are the second and fifth largest cities in Itruel. The road between the two cities, even if it is a mountain road, has long been used by caravans. Step on the ground.

What's more, the road between the mountains is not long. If you enter in the morning, you don't even need to spend the night in the mountains, and you can leave the mountains in the evening.

Otherwise, how could businessmen who value efficiency open up this business route?
Walking among the mountains, the nose is lingering with the fragrance of vegetation, and the restless mood gradually calms down.

Lilian watched the sun slide to the west, the caravan that was walking in front of them had long since disappeared, and the quiet forest scene gradually became gloomy as time went by.

The thick shadows spread, and the last ray of sky reflected the shadows of the trees, as if something was hiding in there to watch them.

Thinking of this, Lilian couldn't help but shudder.

Fortunately, Zhong Ye bought a lantern before, which kept a square inch of light around them. As long as they had the patience not to look at the scene at the end of the light, they would not feel afraid.

It didn't take long for them to find several wooden houses built by the merchants who frequented the area by the roadside. These wooden houses were rough in appearance, even crude, but strong enough, with huge doors to pull horse-drawn carts and goods inside.

Of course, although the businessman only stays here for one night, it is always inevitable to make smells when eating and drinking. People in this era are not so particular. In order to protect their property, most farmers will keep livestock in the house, and live together.

Fortunately, after they stepped into this mountain road, there were no caravans before and after, and there was no need to 'partner', otherwise Zhong Ye would rather brave the cold wind than live with those merchants.

After picking a house with a lesser smell, Zhong Ye and Lilian drove the horses in first, and then squatted down to eat dinner more than ten meters away from those houses.

The lantern was hung on a branch not far away. Zhong Ye was exercising and teaching while waiting for the house to be ventilated.

When the cold wind brought the first icy coldness of the night, and his breath turned into frost, Zhong Ye asked Lilian to put away her posture, and went back to the room to wipe off the sweat from her body, while standing in the secluded forest, looking up at the frost-white moon .

The lonely moonlight shines gently on the grass through the gaps between the leaves, illuminating the dew condensed on the grass roots.

After watching for a while, Zhong Ye withdrew his gaze and walked towards the room.

The boots rubbed against the grass, kicking up the dew on the leaves of the grass. When passing by a tree, Zhong Ye suddenly drew a knife, stabbed the straight knife into the ground, pulled out the blade, and brought out a piece of grass that would quickly turn into a cloud when exposed to the air. Particles of gray blood fog.

The wilderness is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will die.

Walking to the door, he knocked on the door, and didn't push the door open until there was a sound of "please come in" from inside.

There is nothing in the room except a few wooden beds, but it is also convenient for them, as long as they put sleeping bags on them, they can fall asleep directly.

Seeing Lilian's dumbfounded appearance, Zhong Ye knew that she must be in custody again, but this was not surprising, not everyone could accept this era as easily as he did.

Taking off his coat, he got into the sleeping bag that had been laid out, and when he closed his eyes, Zhong Ye fell into a deep sleep.

That disaster made him realize that he was not strong enough. If he was strong enough, he would not need to escape from Ramit at all, nor would he need to upgrade before the battle, improve his attributes, and put himself in a dangerous place that was 'uncontrollable'.

Therefore, he decided to increase the amount of training in the dream world!
