Soul echo

Chapter 286 Arrival
Along the way, Lily was very silent, she seldom spoke, as if she was thinking about something.

When Zhong Ye and the others approached Le Mans, she suddenly said, "Le Mans... I lived there for a while when I was young."

Her words caught Zhong Ye's attention, but he didn't inquire, but waited for Lily to explain.

After another moment of silence, Lily's voice came from the carriage: "My mother is from Le Mans. Her background is not noble, she is just the second daughter of a viscount family. Logically speaking, it is impossible for her to come into contact with me. Father……

"But at that time, my mother and my father were both studying at the Kingdom's Master Academy, so they got to know each other, and then became the queen.

"When I came to Le Mans for the first time, I met my grandfather. He is a very strange person. For many years, he has always been worried about his mother becoming a queen. He even complained more than once that he should not send his mother to him Go to the Kingdom Master Academy to study."

Lily Lieber leaned against the window, resting her chin on one hand, looking at the passing scenery outside the window with a complicated expression.

Lilian also turned her attention away from the barrage and looked at her.

"Then the next year, he passed away, and after his death, my mother took me and Bellamy back to Le Mans, and I lived in Le Mans for three years.

"It was a good time, everything was fine ... until my mother died at Le Mans."

Speaking of this, Lily took a deep breath, "Mother was assassinated—we don't know why someone would want to kill our mother, she is obviously a good person and has never done anything bad... After the mother was assassinated, the father found some spell books of the school of prophecy from the grandfather's house. It was also at that time that we knew that the grandfather might have seen the future in which the mother would be assassinated and tried to prevent it.

"...It's a pity that he didn't succeed, and he died because of it."

"What happened next?" Lilian couldn't help being curious, "Did the killer catch it?"

Lily's expression became even sadder, and she sighed deeply: "The killer was caught. It was sent by an earl. The earl wanted to make his daughter a queen to replace my mother. At that time, his daughter had already known my father, so he Thinking the time was right, he sent a killer to assassinate my mother.

"Because we are all women, he thinks that we are not a threat. As long as his daughter can give birth to a son, he can successfully inherit this country..."

After a moment of silence, Zhong Ye's voice came from outside the car: "...Sorry."

Lily shook her head, "It's okay, because you don't know these things."

Afterwards, the carriage fell silent again, and even Lilian stopped whispering to the audience.

In such silence, the carriage entered Le Mans.

This is an ancient city, but the city has also been gradually updated and iterated over the years, and it has not lagged behind the times.

The first thing that appeared in front of Zhong Ye and the others was a not-so-magnificent high wall, which was mottled with traces of time. The muzzle was obviously added after it was built, which seemed unnatural and unattractive.

But after entering the city gate, the impression is completely different.

Although the street trees planted on both sides of the street have lost all their leaves, their dense branches are like sharp swords rising into the sky, giving people a sense of sharpness and vigor.

Contrast that with the quiet, peaceful vibe that radiates from the city's streets.

This atmosphere effectively moderates the stimulation of those cluster-like branches, and once immersed, people will not want to leave.

Even in this cold deep winter, the streets and alleys are still filled with heart-warming laughter. From taverns, from shops, from residences, the joy of the streets and alleys is filled, and people can't help but join in, changing silently. The dull mood of the visitor.

It's a pity that these things didn't make Lili feel happy at all. On the contrary, hearing these voices and feeling the peaceful atmosphere of Le Mans, she couldn't help but think of her mother, that kind and kind woman.

Sadly, she can't remember her mother's face now, but can only recall the tenderness and warmth that her mother brought to herself.

Looking at the street scene outside the window, Lily Lieber was immersed in her memories.

It wasn't until she arrived at the Adventurer's House that she woke up like a dream, and felt the wetness on her face and the soreness in the corners of her eyes.

She hurriedly wiped away her tears, turned her head and found that Lilian didn't seem to see her tears, so she was relieved.

"Here we are, let's get out of the carriage!" Lily sniffed, smiled again, took Lilian's hand and jumped off the carriage.

After getting out of the car, looking at the tall building in front of me, I couldn't help exclaiming: "It turns out that there is such a big building in Le Mans, the change is really big!"

Afterwards, she looked around and found that it was still early, so she turned her head to look at Zhong Ye, "Zhong, it's still so early, why don't we act in the afternoon?"

Just as Zhong Ye was about to drive the carriage, when he heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Lily, "Don't you feel tired?"

Before that, although she could not be called pampered, Lily was still considered a princess, and she could not be used to traveling long distances. The journey was tiring, and she was crying tired before she reached Chartres.

Zhong Ye himself has extraordinary physical strength, Lilian is a player, and his mind can get enough rest in another world. Physical fatigue is completely unimportant, but Lily Lieber is neither a superhuman nor a player. Didn't get a good rest.

"Of course I'm tired! If I were to lie on the bed, I might not be able to sleep because of exhaustion, but I don't want to sleep or rest now!"

Seeing the smile on Lily's face and the flushed eyes, Zhong Ye sighed: "Do as you please, if you want to act, you can do it anytime."

"Then it's settled!"

Lily waved to Zhong Ye, and then pulled Lilian into the Adventurer's House.

The carriage needs to be registered before it can be put into the stables and warehouses, and now they go in and register.

After dealing with all the affairs and moving the luggage into their respective rooms, the three of them came to the lobby to gather.

Lunch had already been eaten on the road, and they entered Le Mans not long after lunch, so there was still a long time before night fell.

"If my memory serves me..."

Because she lived in Le Mans for a while since she was a child, Lily still remembers some details of the city, so she took Zhong Ye and Lilian away from the Adventurer's House, and walked the streets and alleys following the traces of memory.

"When Bellamy and I came to the city to play, the servants told us not to go to a few places. They said that those places were not qualified for us to approach."

Walking on the street, Lily recalled playing and laughing with her sisters in the city.

"During the time we lived in Le Mans, my father sometimes left Paris and came to Le Mans to play with us... Ah, I found it! It should be here!"

After passing a corner, Zhong Ye and the others came to a dilapidated street.

The houses on this street are not as glamorous as other streets. Here, he even saw a few houses whose roofs were crushed by the snow.

It is only in this kind of place that there is a place for gangs.

Zhong Ye let go of his hearing, and his thoughts spread out with his hearing, collecting information from all directions.

After a while, he took a step forward, "Follow me."

You can tell by his appearance that he has found something.

Lily and Lilian looked at each other, smiled at the little girl in front of them, and followed Zhong Ye's footsteps.

The cold wind howled, bringing distant cries.

When they got closer, Lily and the others also heard these voices.

"Tavern?" Lily asked curiously.

Zhong Ye nodded, "Generally speaking, even if a tavern is not the site of a gang, it may be their gathering place. As long as you find the tavern, it means you can find the local gang—provided you bring enough money."

Under the leadership of Zhong Ye, they came to the door of an ordinary house. The voice they heard before came from inside.

Zhong Ye walked straight over, pushed open the door, and stepped inside.
